Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Although the Zhu family is the Empress Dowager's maiden family, there are few capable men in the Zhu family. Relying on the Empress Dowager's power, they have done many things such as bullying men and women and stealing from others. The entire Bo's Mansion has many loopholes like a sieve, making it too easy to be plotted against.

Before Xu Huaiyi performed these scenes, he had already led several clues here. If we really get to the bottom of it, the Zhu family is not innocent either.

Furthermore, ever since Concubine De in the palace gave birth to the fifth prince, the Zhu family has been extremely high-profile, winning over court officials and making friends with them, almost without concealing their intentions. They were the ones who were most active in opposing the prince's entry into court to observe government affairs. Therefore, there was nothing wrong with the Zhu family's plot to murder Xu Huaiyi.

If it is harmless, it will appear strange.

On the contrary, the Changle Marquis Mansion is almost forgotten.

Ever since Marquis Changle died, the Marquis Changle Mansion has been getting worse day by day. Outsiders may not know, but the family members know their own business. The real Marquis Changle was not assassinated, but was killed along with his entire clan.

Unless the King of Chu succeeds in his rebellion, the real Marquis of Changle can reveal himself openly, and the Marquisate can be saved and regain its glory and honor.

Unfortunately, the King of Chu was defeated.

The dream of Changle Marquis' Mansion to turn things around was also shattered.

The whereabouts of Marquis Changle is still unknown. The most likely possibility is that he fled to a deserted island overseas to survive. As for the marquis's mansion in the capital, it seems to have been abandoned.

Crown Prince Li Ji is still the crown prince. The court seems to have forgotten to let him inherit the title, and he also seems to have forgotten to ask the court for instructions.

Actually, Emperor Yongping had not yet figured out how to deal with the Changle Marquis family. He was afraid that both sides would be destroyed and the Changle Marquis would be forced to jump out and ruin his reputation.

After all, he was blind and deceived by Marquis Changle, which resulted in the destruction of the entire Hujia Village and turned it into a scorched earth ruin.

This matter is still a secret. Emperor Yongping is afraid of the consequences, so how could he dare to attack the Marquis Changle's Mansion?

Furthermore, we have to consider the Second Prince's reputation.

The second prince was injured in the face on the night of the palace coup five years ago, and he still has the scar. He is no longer qualified to ascend to the throne, and his temperament has changed drastically. The teenage boy is gloomy all day long, and his temper is extremely violent and irritable. The eunuchs and palace maids who serve him are often beaten and scolded. This has long been no secret in the court.

But no matter how bad the second prince was, he was still the son of Emperor Yongping. As a father, his pity naturally prevailed for a son who would not threaten his throne.

This protection allowed the Changle Marquisate to escape liquidation, but what was the reality?

The Marquis of Changle Mansion did not appreciate it, and even felt resentful and secretly had other plans.

However, due to various considerations, Xu Huaiyi did not seize this good opportunity to divert the trouble.

But who would have thought that Emperor Yongping would use it as a scapegoat? Hadn't he always been protecting it?

Aren’t you afraid of falling out?

Under the instruction of Emperor Yongping, the Three Courts quickly solved the case and arrested Li Ji, the mastermind behind the murder of Xu Huaiyi. Outsiders had no way of knowing the interrogation process, but the result came quickly. Li Ji confessed without much struggle, and in the end, his entire family was sentenced to exile.

Since then, there is no more Changle Marquis Mansion in the capital.

This result was beyond everyone's expectations, but also reasonable.

It was unexpected because no one was optimistic about the Second Prince, and no one expected that the Changle Marquisate would bet on him. It was reasonable because of the relationship between Li Ji and the Second Prince's nephew and uncle, and it was not impossible that he would give it one last try in order to revive the family.

But obviously, Bo lost.

Most people in the court agreed with this result, but some people privately doubted whether Li Ji was the real murderer. If not, why pushed him out?

Who is the person being protected?

Han Jun was one of those who didn't believe it. He was even disgusted by Emperor Yongping's deceitful behavior. He was worried that Xu Huaiyi would be angry, so he went to him to explain and comfort him, "There may be more than just Li Ji who wants to harm you. Don't worry, I will continue to investigate this case and will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation..."

Xu Huaiyi looked at him calmly, "What do you mean by a satisfactory explanation? What are you hinting at? It's just the two of us, no need to beat around the bush, just say it straight."

Han Jun smiled bitterly and said, "I know, you definitely don't believe that it was Li Ji who did it, right?"

Xu Huaiyi asked back, "Why don't you believe it? He also has his reasons for getting rid of me. Even if it's not for the Second Prince, he should hate me. Others don't know the grudges and entanglements here, but you and the emperor know it clearly, so I don't disbelieve it."

Han Jun was speechless for a moment.

Yes, Xu Huaiyi and the Changle Marquis' Mansion have a deep hatred. He was the one who dealt with the substitute of Changle Marquis and cut off Changle Marquis's retreat. How could he not hate him?

Emperor Yongping promoted Li Jilai based on this consideration, which makes it more convincing.

"But you don't seem to believe it..." Xu Huaiyi mocked lightly, "Who are you doubting? Or are you simply too naive to believe the result given by the emperor?"

Han Jun avoided his gaze and said, "I don't think Li Ji is that capable. If he wants to poison your food, he needs to bribe more than one person, and he needs to establish connections at several levels. What benefits can he use to impress them?

And those people who broke into the house in the middle of the night didn't seem like the assassins he could train. In short, he was a suspect, but there was insufficient evidence."

Xu Huaiyi sneered, "But the three courts have already made a decision, and Li Ji has confessed his guilt. It's written in black and white, and the entire Changle Marquisate is on the road to exile. And now you say there's insufficient evidence?

Why don't you go to the Three Courts and speak up for them?"

Han Jun lowered his head and said in a difficult tone, "The emperor wants to take this opportunity to deal with them, what can I do? Originally, they should have been convicted five years ago. It's enough to let them linger on for these years..."

Xu Huaiyi rolled his eyes and said, "That sounds nice, do you think I'm a fool?

Isn't it because he is afraid that the Changle Marquis' Mansion will turn against him, so he wants to fight to the death?

This time, they just want to fool me, so they use them to take the blame, killing two birds with one stone, and they can also make use of their surplus value in the end.

If I'm not mistaken, it won't be long before the Changle Marquis's family, young and old, will encounter bandits on the road and be hacked to death, right?

No, maybe we can use them as bait to lure out Changle Hou..."

Xu Huaiyi took a deep breath and said with mixed feelings, "As expected of an emperor, his scheming and tactics are just amazing..."

Han Jun added dryly, "Maybe not as many as you think."

Xu Huaiyi snorted and laughed, "Okay, stop deceiving yourself and others. Be honest. This case ends here, so don't hold on to it!"

"why?"

"The emperor obviously doesn't want to investigate further. If you keep insisting, will it be good for you? Didn't you look at me and agree?"

Han Jun was skeptical. "Can you really let it go? The other party wants your life..."

Xu Huaiyi said calmly, "But they didn't succeed, did they? Even if they were caught, what would happen? Is the emperor really willing to punish them to vent my anger?

You and I can guess who the real murderer is. It's none other than those few families. Who do you think the emperor can kill?

He still has to rely on them to balance the court and check and balance me. He won't abandon them now.

So, let's be more tactful and keep each other respectable."

Han Jun saw that he was speaking frankly and his words were the truth, so he felt relieved. However, he still said, "On the surface, that's the end, but I have to teach him a lesson in private. Otherwise, do you think you are a soft persimmon that is easy to bully?"

Xu Huaiyi said hypocritically, "The emperor should give them a warning."

Han Jun said coldly, "Just beating them is not enough. We must teach them a lesson."

Xu Huaiyi blinked and asked curiously, "What do you want to do?"

Han Jun waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it. I'll help you vent your anger."

Xu Huaiyi, "..."

He said a few hypocritically polite words, then got up and left contentedly.

Gu Huanxi found out about this later and complained speechlessly, "You are really becoming more and more shameless. You take advantage of everyone. Don't you feel guilty?"

Xu Huaiyi smiled smugly and said, "How can this be considered as taking advantage of others? It's just a matter of one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten. Do you think he doesn't understand? He is very smart. He is afraid that I will feel resentful and seek revenge myself, so he is willing to be his thug.

Humph, he is not thinking about Emperor Yongping. He is worried that my revenge methods will be too drastic and will get out of control and hurt Emperor Yongping again. He is really loyal. "

"Young Master is so sarcastic. Why do I feel like he is caught between you and Emperor Yongping, and is in a dilemma?" Gu Huanxi said something fair. "He will definitely protect you in front of Emperor Yongping."

Xu Huaiyi did not comment, "After all, it's all for Xiaoyu."

Gu Huanxi sighed, "Aren't we the same? Let's understand each other a little bit."

Xu Huaiyi said "hmm" perfunctorily, his thoughts wandering away, "I wonder how he will deal with those families, but he won't kill or burn them, will he?"

Gu Huanxi subconsciously asked, "Why don't you guess it was poisoned?"

Poisoning has the lowest cost.

Hearing this, Xu Huaiyi twitched his lips in frustration. "It's not easy to poison someone nowadays. Everyone should learn from me and raise rabbits to test poisons. Who would still use this trick to harm others? Rabbits are even more expensive now!"

Gu Huanxi, "..."
