The middle-aged man took what Xie Yuan handed over and looked at it with some surprise.

"It seems you came prepared."

Xie Yuan smiled and said nothing.

The middle-aged man put away his things and stood up and said, "We will never owe each other any more."

Xie Yuan nodded lightly.

"Thank you!"

The middle-aged man waved his hand, turned and left.

Xie Yuan looked at the person leaving. One of the trump cards in his hand was used by him. However, he did not regret it. He dared to spy on his wife. Even if this person was a prince, he would make him pay the price.

At dusk, Chen Fugui walked out of the Yamen and immediately saw the person squatting in the corner.

Chen Fugui did not step forward, but just winked at him.

The young man understood, got up and followed.

After the two of them left the Yamen one after another, Chen Fugui stopped.

"What's the point of coming to see me now?"

"I came here specifically to apologize to Mr. Chen. I'm afraid I won't be able to finish what you asked me to do." He said and handed the money he had collected before to Chen Fugui.

Chen Fugui raised his eyebrows slightly but did not answer: "What happened?"

The young man immediately told Chen Fugui what happened today.

He underestimated Jiang Minghong.

"You have worked hard during this period, so you can keep the money for tea!"

The young man was immediately delighted.

"Thank you Mr. Chen for the reward."

Not long after the two left, an ordinary-looking boy came out of the darkness. He watched Chen Fugui leave and followed him quietly.

Chen Fugui walked through the busy street with a serious expression and couldn't help but rub his eyebrows. It seemed that he could only take action himself. Having made up his mind, he was about to go home when he saw a little maid running over.

Chen Fugui looked at the little maid, first feeling guilty, then having a headache.

"Master, my dear, please come over."

Chen Fugui looked at the smiling little maid. After struggling for a while, he followed her.

The next day, Jiang Mingyue was making clothes when Pingguo reported that Shen Yu had arrived and ordered: "Give them some tea and cakes."

"Yes!"

In the study, Xie Yuan saw the three people entering the main hall and narrowed his eyes slightly. It was interesting. It seemed that the three of them were hiding something from him.

In the main hall, Shen Yu glanced at Shen Zhou and signaled that he could speak.

Shen Zhou immediately told Jiang Minghong and others about Bai Er.

Jiang Minghong and Qi Yong thought that they didn't know that Bai Er was still a boy. Later, he wandered around various entertainment places and learned a lot of low-class skills. He stopped taking the imperial examination and ran errands for the noble sons of various families. , take them to live happily and make a living.

Of course, he also did some dirty things, such as being hired to lure people like Jiang Minghong so that they would be distracted from studying and hang out in entertainment venues.

After listening to Shen Zhou's words, Jiang Minghong was already sure who hired Bai Er.

"The servant who hired him has also been found. His surname is Chen, and his given name is Fugui. He is a seventh-grade official in the Ministry of Industry. He is brother-in-law with a servant next to the eldest prince and has a very close relationship."

When Jiang Minghong heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The Shen family was indeed the first pure family. In one afternoon, they found out the matter.

Shen Yu and Qi Yongsi looked at Jiang Minghong's calm face, looked at each other and asked, "Has Brother Hong guessed it a long time ago?"

Jiang Minghong nodded slightly.

"What grudge do you have against Chen Fugui?" Shen Yu asked immediately.

Jiang Minghong shook his head.

"I have no grudge against him and I have never met him."

Both of them looked puzzled when they heard this.

"Without any grudge, why would he target you for no reason?"

"For power."

Jiang Minghong paused and looked at the two of them and said, "Eldest brother, second brother, do you still remember why I came to Wanping?"

"Remember, it was because the family was in trouble." Qi Yong thought.

"Yes, my father's name is Jiang Wen, and he is a well-known wealthy businessman in Yuanjiang Prefecture..."

Jiang Minghong slowly told the two of them, Zhang Zhongyue, and their coming to Beijing to defect to Chen Fugui. Of course, he didn't say a word that shouldn't be said.

Shen Yu was shocked and angry after hearing Jiang Minghong's story. He slapped the table and stood up.

"It's really unreasonable. How dare he be so lawless."

Shen Yu's reaction had been expected by Jiang Minghong. He was a person who could not tolerate sand in his eyes. On the other hand, although Qi Yongsi looked shocked, he looked much calmer compared to Shen Yu.

"Second brother, calm down!" Jiang Minghong put the poured tea into Shen Yu's hand and advised him warmly.

"Second brother, adjust your emotions and calm down your anger. Let's listen to what Minghong has to say first."

Shen Yu slowly exhaled and sat down again with the tea, but his expression was unhappy. Everyone could see that he was in a very bad mood at this moment.

Qi Yongsi looked at Jiang Minghong again: "So Chen Fugui is actually your uncle?"

Jiang Minghong nodded.

"When I was about to enter Beijing, I suddenly fell ill and fell into coma. In order to treat me, my sister stopped at Wanping nearby and did not enter Beijing.

Later, after I recovered from my illness, I originally wanted to go to Beijing to recognize my relatives. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhongyue's people came to Kyoto at this time and met my uncle immediately. After knowing this news, my sister and I gave up the idea of ​​recognizing our relatives.

Once we recognize our relatives, not only will we fall into Zhang Zhongyue's hands, but our uncle and aunt will also be in danger. But what I didn’t expect was that my uncle was so courageous. In order to curry favor with Zhang Zhongyue’s people and get in touch with the eldest prince, he even risked his own life and found someone to pretend to be his sister..."

After Jiang Minghong told the two of them what he had investigated, he said: "This is why he wants to deal with me. The purpose is to prevent me from taking the college examination."

Shen Yu and Qi Yongsi felt a little uneasy at this moment. Although they were smart, they were still inexperienced in the world. They really didn't expect that some people would risk their lives for power.

The two were silent for a long time. After digesting what Jiang Minghong said, they suddenly understood why he had always had a sense of urgency and why he worked so hard. Because only with fame can he protect himself and his family.

"Does brother-in-law Xie know about this?" Shen Yu asked first.

"I know that marrying my sister means that I will be tied to my Jiang family. Not only will I be in trouble, but I will also face many dangers.

So before he and his sister got engaged, I told him about his parents so that he would not regret it in the future. "

"What did the brother-in-law say about the two elders?" Qi Yongsi asked what he and Shen Yu were most concerned about. They were both too weak now. They wanted to save people, but they were powerless.

"After passing the examination, my brother-in-law plans to go to Yuanjiang Mansion to find out everything. As long as he has the evidence in hand, he can convict Zhang Zhongyue and rescue the two elders."

Shen Yu and Qi Yongsi were relieved when they heard this. They were relieved that Xie Yuan was willing to take action. Neither of them realized that they actually trusted Xie Yuan very much.
