My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

Feng Jingming talked about the rumors this morning. The merchants had noticed that the goods were missing, but because they had received enough money, no one reported the case. It was only spread by word of mouth among the people.

"That's very good." Qin Junyi said while adding tea to Su Yunwan.

"Master, madam, do you need your help in transporting goods?" When thinking of the amount of money missing from those merchants, Feng Jingming was as curious as anyone else: How did the master and his wife move and hide so much goods overnight?

It's just that he always knows how to advance and retreat, and knows what to ask and what not to ask. Just like the master and his wife suddenly appeared in the capital, he didn't ask any more questions.

"No need, we have made arrangements."

After Qin Junyi refused, he glanced at Su Yunwan and said, "Wanwan, as an accomplice of Prime Minister Xiao, Vice Minister Su is now being charged with the most common crime of corruption on the cusp of the rebellion. It must be that Prime Minister Xiao is trying to cover up something. Crime, push him out as a shield."

Su Yunwan paused while eating the melon seeds. After pondering for a moment, he revealed one of the goals of the capital: "It's Prime Minister Xiao again. I want his life."

Feng Jingming was secretly shocked. How could his wife be so different from the investigation results that she could easily say life-threatening words.

It seems that on the surface she doesn't care about the life and death of her natal family, but deep down, she still wants to avenge her natal family.

However, in fact, it is true that Su Yunwan wanted revenge, but it was not from her natal family.

Once upon a time, due to various reasons, she did not take action in time to save Qin Junyi from being executed.

Now, it’s time to clear things up one by one.

She had secretly planned to go to the imperial prison alone tonight to steal the Soul-Destroying Nail, so that Prime Minister Xiao could experience the pain of the Soul-Destroying Nail, and then send him to the West.

Now when she heard that her mother's family had become the abandoned son of Prime Minister Xiao, she quickly spoke out.

What she didn't know was that Qin Junyi had already put Prime Minister Xiao on the death list. The difference was that he planned to assassinate his prime minister and send him to the new emperor.

Before going to Beijing, he had made plans to seek revenge.

With his current strength, even regicide is not impossible to succeed.

But the Qin family's influence is outside. Once the new emperor is killed, the court will inevitably be in turmoil. In the end, the aristocratic families headed by Prime Minister Xiao joined forces to put a puppet in power, control the government, and serve as her wedding dress.

He has found out that the main culprits of the Qin family's downfall are none other than the new emperor and Prime Minister Xiao.

It is temporarily inconvenient for the new emperor to move, but Prime Minister Xiao will not let him go again.

Now that the emperor mistakenly believed that Prince Li was on the same side as him, he took the opportunity to assassinate Prime Minister Xiao and put the blame on Prince Li.

As the right-hand man of the new emperor, Prime Minister Xiao will greatly weaken the emperor's power once he dies, and Prince Li will definitely be happy to see this happen.

As for the Qin family, it not only avenged their own family, but also allowed Prince Li to attract the firepower of the court in front of them, and the snipe and the clam competed for the fisherman's profit.

In a sense, it can be regarded as mutual benefit between the Qin family and Prince Li.

Qin Junyi revealed his plan.

Su Yunwan said, "It's too easy to kill him directly. I plan to go to the prison to steal some Soul-Destroying Nails, treat him as a human being, and collect evidence of his crimes against the Qin family to ruin his reputation."

When Feng Feng Jingming mentioned the "soul-destroying nail", his expression changed. He looked at Qin Junyi and said bitterly: "Master, please let me be the executioner. Prime Minister Xiao will regret coming to this world!"

Qin Junyi stretched out his hand and pressed it down, and said to Su Yunwan: "Wan Wan, Zhao Prison is called hell on earth, so we won't go there. Even if there is no Soul-Destroying Nail, I still have a lot of torture methods that will make his evil deeds retributive."

Su Yunwan said, "Zi Yuan, leave this matter to me and Uncle Feng. You just need to stay here and wait for the news."

She didn't want Qin Junyi to be moved by the scene and bring back the painful memory of being trapped in Zhao Prison.

Qin Junyi sensed her thoughts, his cheeks trembled slightly, and a warmth filled his eyes.

It was like a beam of light shot into his heart, dispelling the long-buried haze.

"Wan Wan, I have been on the battlefield for many years, and I am no longer afraid of any situation. It's just that the prison was set up in a dark and humid underground, and the air of epidemic disease filled the prison. The prisoners were tortured, and the screams and moans were endless. I don't want you to step into such a dark and dirty place.

The key point of the Soul-Destroying Nail is the barbed device, which can make people unable to survive for a long time without seeking death. Since Prime Minister Xiao is destined to live for a short time, he can completely replace it with other iron nails and other objects. "

"That's right. Then find a secluded place first, whether it's indoors or outdoors, and then we'll arrest them."

Su Yunwan had heard about the prison, and the putrid stench of the wounds and blood of the prisoners was enough to persuade her to leave.

Qin Junyi nodded and looked at Feng Jingming, "You are familiar with the boundaries of the capital. Go find a hidden place outside the city."

"Yes, I will take care of it now." Feng Jingming stood up and left in a hurry.

*

In the palace, a long line of honor guards walked slowly.

The new emperor took a dragon chariot and went to Qintian Prison in person to look for Yang Jianzheng.

After arriving, the new emperor dismissed everyone and talked about the affairs of the court with a gloomy face: "... Prince Li has been deliberately plotting a rebellion for a long time. He is afraid that he will lead an army to rebel in the fiefdom. So I decided not to use the Qin family's troops for the time being. , kill Prince Li first and then talk."

Yang Jian was making tea by the stove when he heard this and sighed softly: "Qin Junyi has been able to escape death many times. It is probably God's will."

"Gu is the emperor and represents God's will! If Gu wants him to die, he must die!" The new emperor Long Yan was furious and slammed the tea table, which made the cups shake and make a crisp knocking sound.

Yang Jianzheng paused for a moment, then continued to make tea, and said in a calm tone: "Your Majesty, please calm down."

The new emperor thought of something and suddenly laughed sinisterly: "Just when Gu Wu had no time to care about him, Prime Minister Xiao immediately came up with a plan and asked Qin Junyi's father-in-law Su Shilang to carry out the assassination. Yi Gu believed that this was God's will!

Yang Jianzheng hit the nail on the head: "Prime Minister Xiao feels guilty."

"Gu knows that he secretly communicated with Prince Li during the period when Gu was seizing the throne." The new emperor's face was full of ridicule, "He was smart and thought of using Gu's hand to send Shilang Su to the Qin family. , playing the game of killing people with a borrowed knife."

"You granted his wish."

"Why not? It would be great if Mr. Su can do his best. And if he dares to have a different intention, then kill them all. It won't take much effort."

The new emperor looked sternly, thinking that he had everyone under his control: "I still have a trump card. Even if there is no army to encircle and suppress him, and there is no Minister Su, I can still kill him!"

Yang Jianzheng:......

"My dear, I came here this time to ask you to predict whether Gu's country will be stable."

Yang Tianzheng politely refused: "Your Majesty, after the last divination, the minister's vitality was severely damaged and has not yet recovered..."

"It doesn't matter, I have collected a lot of rare medicinal materials in my private treasury, and I will send someone to deliver them tomorrow. That's it."

"Wei Chen...obey the order!"
