"Stop, did I say I wanted it?"

"What else does the Prime Minister want?"

"You don't even know how to call me father. Today, the prince is here and you call us prime minister. Madam, what are you doing?"

"..." Wen Jiu looked at him without saying a word

"Where did you go last night?"

"Biluo Villa"

"How do you know him? Do you know what he does? Just go."

"He's a businessman. Coco knows him."

"You have to go home, a man and a woman staying at someone else's villa."

"Mr. Prime Minister, do you have any misunderstanding about a single man and a single woman? We are a group of people, so this is called a single man and a single woman?"

"You evil creature, you are already engaged, so don't go out unnecessarily in the future."

"That probably won't work. I promised my grandparents that I would go over to accompany them every now and then."

"You... I think you are just trying to make things difficult for me. Go to the ancestral hall and kneel down."

"Father, she has just made up her mind and you have punished her to kneel in the ancestral hall. If the news gets out to Prince Xiao's Mansion, they will probably think we are dissatisfied with you."

"Xi'er, what are you talking about? She is the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. She has a younger sister Qi'er and a younger brother Liang'er. Aren't you setting an example for them? This is a small punishment and a big warning."

"No need to say more, I'll go." Wen Jiu raised his hand to stop Wen Xi and walked towards the ancestral hall.

Wen Xi looked at her, and his expression, which had just relaxed a little, would turn pale again after kneeling.

"Go back, I can't control you anymore." The old lady drove them away.

"Master, how come Jiuer has only been back for a short time and knows people from Biluo Villa? I heard from my brother that it's not a decent place."

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense and implicate the Prime Minister's Mansion. There are children here."

"Yes, yes, yes." Xue pulled the prime minister to her own courtyard, and Wen Ziqi asked, "Brother, why did you help Wen today?"

"Help her? How could I? She made the decision and then she made me kneel in the ancestral hall. If this gets out, wouldn't it cause trouble for Prince Xiao's Mansion?"

"Is that so?" Wen Ziqi glanced at him and turned away.

Wen Xi returned to the yard and called Qing Liu...

After warming the wine, she arrived at the ancestral hall. There were many tablets in front of it. She found her mother's and kowtowed several times. "Mother, I am an unfilial child who only comes to kowtow to you today."

"Miss, how long are you going to kneel down?"

"Kneel down. When mother was alive, you were not around and have no memory of her. Now just think of it as accompanying her for a few hours. Bring the incense over here."

Xuan Ling handed it to her and she knelt until dinner time. Then she went back. Her knees were a little numb, so she ate something and went to sleep.

Early the next morning, Xue was heard crying.

"What are people talking about outside?"

"It seems that the second young lady's cousin found out that the young master of the Ministry of War accidentally killed someone in Chunfeng Tower because of a dispute over a woman. Now the lady is asking the master for help." Xuan Ling narrated word by word.

"Oh? Cousin Wen Ziqi,"

"Yes"

"Master, please save Yuan'er"

"How can I save him? He has been caught red-handed and has been taken to the Dali Temple. Today, the Minister of War cried in front of the emperor, and the emperor has ordered the Dali Temple to take over. How can you ask me to save him? How can I save him?"

"Master, Yuan'er won't kill anyone. He's just a little bit of a playboy, but he wouldn't dare to kill anyone." Xue knelt at the Prime Minister's feet and cried.

"If he didn't kill anyone, the Dali Temple would release him. If he did, no one would be able to protect him. As the Minister of War, would you let him off so easily?"

"Master, wuwuwu, Master, please think of a solution."

Prime Minister Wen was extremely annoyed by her voice and walked out directly.

In the prison

"Dad, I really didn't kill anyone, Dad, save me, save me!" Xue Yuan no longer looked like a rich kid.

"Yuan'er, tell me in detail what happened that day?" Xue Zhan asked him.

"I drank a little that night, and Ping'er had agreed to accompany me, but Liang Xu stepped in and kidnapped Ping'er. I was so angry that I went to his room to argue with him, but he said something about me, about me..."

"Say"

"He said that my sister climbed into the bed like the fifth prince and the crown prince, so why don't we try to have some fun together tonight? I got angry and started fighting with him, and everyone inside was so scared that they ran out."

"He also blamed me. Are you afraid of people telling people what happened to your family? Who in the whole capital doesn't know about it? I was drunk to begin with, and I slipped and fell to the ground. But when I woke up, I looked like this. They all said that I stabbed Liang Xu in the chest with a dagger, but they were all out at the time."

"Dad, you have to believe me, I did hit him and he hit me too, I really didn't kill him" Xue Yuan cried with his head in his hands

Xue Zhan realized at this moment that his son might have offended someone and was being plotted against. Someone was trying to sow discord between them, but Minister Liang refused to listen to him and refused to listen. Liang Xu was an only child, so he had to go to Minister Liang's house.

"Master Xue, my master has fallen ill from worrying too much. He is too busy at home. He said he will not see guests until the case is solved. I am sorry."

Xue Zhan looked at the closed door and didn't know what to do.

"Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion"

"Brother, why are you here? Has Yuan'er been released?" Xue Zhan looked at his sister's red and swollen eyes, thinking that she had cried to the Prime Minister, and the results were usually not satisfactory.

"Where's my brother-in-law?"

"He went out and hasn't come back yet"

"Doesn't he usually dislike socializing after court?"

"I don't know him. Today I asked him to save Yuan'er, but he left in a rage and hasn't come back yet."

Xue Zhan heard this and thought that it seemed that his good brother-in-law was not going to help him. It was a pity that he had just given his sister some money for emergency yesterday. He was really arrogant because he was a high-ranking official.

"Sister, please think of a way and ask your brother-in-law to help. Otherwise, ask your brother-in-law to return the money so that I can use it to get through the market."

"Brother?" Xue looked incredulous.

"Don't blame your brother. Think of a solution. I'm afraid that Dali Si Yuan'er won't be able to bear it for too long these two days."

"I'm going back first" and left without even a cup of tea

"I heard that after Master Xue left, Madam destroyed everything in the house."

"Isn't it going to be ruined? She just gave me my mother's dowry yesterday, and today she wants her to pay it back or help save her nephew. She can't do either, so forget about them and let's get on with our business."

"Miss, Xuanying sent a message saying that the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince were all involved, and that Imperial Concubine is not a clean person either. Although we haven't found out yet, we must keep an eye on her."

"This is the Fifth Prince and his followers."

"Show it to me." Wen Jiu looked at the densely packed names of officials. These two brothers were really evenly matched. They even planted their own people in even the smallest county magistrate.

"Jiangzhou Wang Family, Concubine, I will tell Xuan Ying to eradicate them one by one from the young ones, and use the correct laws to eradicate them. Don't let anyone see anything. It's best to lead them to the other side and let them fight each other. The Minister of Revenue should not move for the time being to avoid being noticed. Collect evidence of their crimes, and then give them a fatal blow."

"Yes" Xuanxing took the order and went out

Wen Jiu still thought that the intelligence obtained by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue should be on the same front, and it would be difficult to eliminate them, but the hatred for the murder of their son was enough to make them fall apart. She didn't know if it was a coincidence. If someone had used a trick, it would be extremely clever and vicious, and she thought it was very good.

Next, let’s settle them one by one!
