Residential houses in the east of the city.

"Who are you? Who is your son?"

"Why are you arresting me? What crime did you commit?"

The middle-aged man kneeling on the ground heard Geng Bingwen's question, raised his head and looked at Geng Bingwen doubtfully, and asked nervously, his face slightly pale.

"My son Geng Xuan! A few hours ago, the person who drank with him at Fushou Residence was you?!"

Geng Bingwen frowned and asked loudly.

"it's me..."

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment and nodded hesitantly.

"Then did you ever see clearly what happened when my son killed someone?!"

Geng Bingwen's eyes lit up and he asked loudly.

But upon hearing Geng Bingwen's question, the middle-aged man fell into silence, his brows furrowed and his face full of struggle.

"say something!"

Seeing that the other party didn't reply for a long time, Geng Bingwen was so angry that he kicked the middle-aged man on the shoulder and shouted sternly.

The middle-aged man snorted and leaned to the side, with a look of pain on his face.

Geng Bingwen is a general in the army. He has been on the battlefield for many years. Although he is old, it is difficult for ordinary people to withstand this kick.

"Master Marquis, please be patient and leave it to me."

Kang Haoming frowned, stepped forward to stop Geng Bingwen, comforted him, and then turned around and looked coldly at the middle-aged man who fell on the ground.

"Since you were not the one who committed the murder, why did you disappear after the incident? What are you afraid of?"

Kang Haoming looked straight into the middle-aged man's slightly panicked eyes and asked word by word.

"No..."

Hearing Kang Haoming's question, the middle-aged man was obviously panicked. He shook his head vigorously and answered, his face getting paler.

Seeing such a reaction, Kang Haoming couldn't help but squint his eyes, and the doubt between his eyebrows became more obvious.

"If we don't say anything at this time, we will have to take you back to the Criminal Department for interrogation."

Kang Haoming paused and said with a majestic look.

"The villain really doesn't know what the adults mean..."

"After the incident, the villain hid at home because he didn't want to be implicated. After all, someone died and even Brother Geng was arrested, let alone the villain?"

"Brother Geng killed the person. The villain didn't do anything. The villain is innocent. Please tell me..."

The middle-aged man climbed up from the ground tremblingly, lying on the ground tremblingly, and replied with a panic look on his face.

"Yeah?!"

Kang Haoming sneered and asked lightly.

"Absolutely true!"

The middle-aged man nodded desperately and replied.

"Commander Xiao, please lead someone to search this place carefully to see if this person is really as innocent as he says!"

But Kang Haoming suddenly glanced at Xiao Huan next to him and said in a deep voice, his eyes full of deep meaning.

Obviously, he didn't just trust the middle-aged man in front of him, but he noticed something.

"Yes!"

Xiao Huan immediately agreed, and immediately began to search the house carefully with his men.

The middle-aged man kneeling on the ground listened to the constant sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets behind him. His face gradually became paler and his body trembled more and more obviously.

Kang Haoming stood quietly with his hands behind his back, looking at the frightened middle-aged man with unblinking eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

"Sir! What do you think this is?!"

At this moment, Xiao Huan's voice suddenly came, and then he was seen walking out quickly with a stack of letters in his hand, and went straight to Kang Haoming, handing over the letters in his hand.

Kang Haoming frowned, reached out to take the letter with some confusion, opened it slowly, and looked down at it seriously.

But then, Kang Haoming, who had always been as steady as a rock, suddenly changed his face and opened his eyes in disbelief.

"What?!"

Geng Bingwen felt nervous and asked hurriedly.

"Secret message against the party!"

Kang Haoming glanced at Geng Bingwen solemnly and handed the letter to Geng Bingwen.

Geng Bingwen was shocked when he heard this. He hurriedly took it and looked down at it seriously.

"Sir, there is another thing inside, please move."

Xiao Huan stepped aside, pointed to the room behind him, and said solemnly.

Kang Haoming glanced at Xiao Huan hesitantly and walked straight inside.

Inside the room, there was a hidden secret room that was found by the Jinwu Guards. There was a bust of a portrait hanging in the secret room. The man in the painting was none other than the Prime Minister Hu Weiyong who was killed by the nine clans for conspiracy many years ago!

When Kang Haoming recognized the person in the painting, he couldn't help but feel shocked. He could no longer remain calm and opened his eyes in disbelief.

Immediately afterwards, footsteps came, and Geng Bingwen also followed in. When he saw Hu Weiyong in the painting, he was stunned and panicked!

Now that things have happened, the identity of the person outside has been confirmed to be a remnant of the Hu Party! And his only son is actually very close to the remnants of the Hu Party. Once Your Majesty takes the blame, not only will his son die, but the entire Geng family will not be able to escape the blame!

Thinking of this, Geng Bingwen became so angry that he stumbled and almost fainted.

"Commander Xiao, this matter is of great importance. I'm afraid you have to go to Minghe Hall with me and report to His Majesty immediately."

Kang Haoming frowned and said solemnly.

"clear."

Xiao Huan nodded in agreement, immediately took off the portrait hanging on the wall, and followed Kang Haoming to prepare to leave for Minghe Hall immediately.

"Master Marquis, this matter is no longer as simple as whether your son committed manslaughter. It's getting late. Please return to your residence first. I will wait until I see Your Majesty before I can say anything else."

"Until the case is clear, I would like to ask the Marquis not to leave Kyoto for the time being so that you can take care of yourself."

When Kang Haoming turned around, he looked at Geng Bingwen and gave a meaningful warning before leaving quickly.

While Xiao Huan sent someone to escort the middle-aged man to the Ministry of Punishment, he took the portrait and followed Kang Haoming to the palace.

Geng Bingwen stood blankly in the secret room, looking at everything in front of him with dull eyes, and his whole heart sank.

Suddenly, he realized something, and Zhu Yunxi's smiling face instantly appeared in his mind. He gritted his teeth and quickly turned around and left the secret room, preparing to find Zhu Yunxi to find out what happened.

If it weren't for the note that Zhu Yunxi gave him, he wouldn't have been able to bring Kang Haoming to this place, let alone discover that that person was actually a remnant of the Hu Party!

His intuition told him that all this was Zhu Yunxi's conspiracy!

As for why, he had no time to think about it.

But just as Geng Bingwen hurriedly rushed out of the house and was about to go straight to the palace, he was suddenly stopped.

"Who are you?!"

Geng Bingwen looked at the young man blocking his way and asked with a gloomy face. While speaking, he clenched his fists and was ready to take action.

"Don't get me wrong, Marquis, I'm here on the orders of His Highness the Grand Sun."

The young man bowed his hands and spoke slowly, without any expression on his face.

Although Geng Bingwen was obviously furious and about to take action, he did not show any fear.

The visitor is none other than Deng Chuan!

"Why did Your Highness harm my Geng family?!"

Geng Bingwen was stunned for a moment, then glared at Deng Chuan angrily and asked fiercely.

"Master Marquis, don't worry, His Highness has never thought of harming the Geng family."

"Your Highness asked me to tell the Marquis to calm down and return home with peace of mind. Your son will definitely be able to leave the prison of the Ministry of Punishment unharmed before midnight tomorrow."

"Everything His Highness did was to rescue the Young Master, and there was no malicious intent."

Deng Chuan cupped his hands and looked at Geng Bingwen seriously.

Hearing Deng Chuan's answer, Geng Bingwen fell into silence for a moment. He didn't know whether he should believe the words of the young man in front of him or whether he should trust Zhu Yunxi.

"Master Marquis, please return home immediately, stay out of the situation, and don't do anything impulsive. I must go back and recover as soon as possible."

Seeing Geng Bingwen's hesitation, Deng Chuan bowed respectfully and urged.

"Go back and tell His Highness that if something happens to the dog, the previous agreement will be invalid! Even if it is shattered to pieces, I will not give up!"

After Geng Bingwen hesitated for a moment, he finally made a decision. He coldly dropped a word and turned towards the Changxing Marquis Mansion.

After Deng Chuan watched Geng Bingwen leave, he immediately turned around and left, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.

...

Prison Department of Punishment.

In a prison cell, a young man sat on the floor, his face haggard, and his body exuded the smell of alcohol that had not yet dissipated.

It was Geng Bingwen's son, Geng Xuan.

At this time, he already knew that he had caused trouble, and he regretted it deeply.

As a governor, he knowingly commits murder and must bear the blame. Now the only hope is for his father who is idle at home.

But he was not sure whether his father, who had been forcibly dismissed from office due to his old age and had been idle at home for many years, would still be able to rescue him from this cold prison...
