Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

The Luoyang City guards who "happened" to be patrolling nearby saw the blazing fire in the distance and quickly rushed to this inconspicuous farm.

After putting out the fire, the city guards found that there were no civilians in the entire farm, and only found a few unidentified charred bodies in the ashes. Then, the guards discovered a secret passage in a farmer's house. The captain of the garrison sent people to investigate, but unexpectedly found several officials who had disappeared many years ago.

As a result, the whole court was in uproar.

……

"Seventh Prince?" Qin Zhaoyue turned and looked at the Donglin Guard secret guard who was kneeling below.

Hu Mengzhu, the mother's family of the Seventh Prince. The Seventh Prince was still a swaddling baby, but the Hu family seemed very ambitious, so Hu Mengzhu had always been on Qin Zhaoyue's alert list.

Since the emperor fell ill, Hu Mengzhu seemed to have restrained himself a lot, but now it seems that this restraint was just superficial.

"That's right. The farm was given to King Qi by the previous emperor. Later, King Qi passed away. His descendants declined and he died of a serious illness. The farm was passed on several times and finally came into the hands of Madam Hu Mengzhu." The secret guard replied.

"Hu Mengzhu..." Qin Zhaoyue's eyes were slightly cold.

He did remember one thing.

Three years ago, Prince Yin was assassinated near Yuning Prefecture. In fact, he was secretly meeting with Gu Xu, and he caught the fake Wen Qing and Gu Xu in contact. At that time, the emperor appointed Hu Mengzhu to investigate the matter, and he also sent people to secretly monitor.

However, Hu Mengzhu was unable to find out the truth of the matter. Later, the Jiaoyuan incident was exposed, and the so-called "assassination" was left unresolved.

It was not difficult to find the loopholes in King Yin's words at that time. Was Hu Mengzhu deliberately covering up something and therefore doing nothing?

Or, he actually said something to the emperor in secret, so...

It seemed that from that time on, a small number of people were separated from the Hidden Dragon Guard to monitor King Yin until his ambitions were completely exposed to the world.

Hu Family...

Qin Zhaoyue thought for a moment and said to the secret guard, "Continue investigating. Although Hu Mengzhu has ambitions, he is not capable of imprisoning court officials. This is too big and too dangerous. There must be someone behind him."

The secret guard agreed and then retreated.

Qin Zhaoyue couldn't calm down and paced back and forth in the hall.

Hu family, Hu Mengzhu. He always felt that there was something missing, but after looking into the matter carefully, he found nothing.

He returned to the table. On the desk in the imperial study were several impeachment memorials and petitions, all of which were petitions for a thorough investigation of the An Huai Manor incident. Several of the petitions were written by the family members of the officials who were found in the manor.

The Hu family’s methods are so clever.

Qin Zhaoyue carefully read the relevant files of those officials again and found that only a few of them were confirmed as missing, while the others were reported to have been killed by bandits or died accidentally.

As for the man-made cases, there were scapegoats and a perfect chain of evidence, and no clues could be found.

It can be said that if the fire had not caught on Anhuaizhuang and the dungeon had not been discovered, these officials would probably never have been discovered in their lifetime.

Qin Zhaoyue suddenly had an idea.

Yes, fire...

Why would Anhuai Manor, which had such an important dungeon, catch fire for no reason? According to the report submitted by the city guards, when they arrived at Anhuai Manor, there was not a single living person in the entire manor except for the people in the dungeon.

Qin Zhaoyue said: "Someone come!"

The guards outside entered the house.

"Where are the bodies in Anhuai Manor stored? I want to go and take a look." Qin Zhaoyue said.

……

Su Muying received an urgent letter from home while he was still on his way.

The letter naturally reported the matter of An Huaizhuang.

After reading it, Su Muying's hand holding the letter trembled slightly. He held on to the inner wall of the carriage, his pupils dilated, and he did not recover for a while.

He read the thin piece of paper again. It was written by Su Muyu. The handwriting was sloppy and messy, which showed how flustered his second brother was. Su Muying was also in the same situation. He felt as if he had been hit on the head and his vision went dark.

"How could it be?!" Su Muying muttered to himself.

The existence of Anhuai Manor is extremely secretive, how could it be discovered and breached?

how so!

Su Muying wanted to calm down, so he stood up subconsciously and hit his head hard on the roof of the carriage.

The guards outside poked their heads in. Su Muying waved his hands and forced himself to remain calm, not wanting anyone to see him losing his composure.

Who knows about the existence of Anhuai Village?

Su Muying quickly went through the list in his head.

All his trusted confidants are there, and they can all be trusted. The second brother might leak the secret, but leaking the secret also takes time. Su Muyu is not a fool, he is even very smart, he will not make such a mistake.

The third brother... he has no manpower. The two swordsmen around him are not very capable either, so it is unlikely that he will be the one.

Su Muying suddenly thought of someone.

Hurricane!

He was ordered to go undercover in Wumen, and although he didn't have any big missions, he reported the news in Wumen Fengtang once a month without interruption. This time he went to Jiangnan, so the report naturally stopped, and Lao Er didn't know about it...

Could it be...

Su Muying was horrified. He quickly stuck his head out of the carriage window and urged, "Tell the coachman to travel day and night. There is no need to rest at the next stop. Let's return to Luoyang as soon as possible!"

The guard responded.

Su Muying's mind raced, but he finally calmed down.

Now that everyone in the court knows about An Huai Zhuang, it is impossible to hide it. Soon, they will find out the intricate relationship between the Hu family and their Su family, and by then, it will be too late.

Su Muying took out the letter paper and asked the servant to come in and grind the ink.

It is not yet time for him to make his debut, and the curtain of their Su family cannot be unveiled.

Only a part of the people had to be sacrificed before Qin Zhaoyue figured out the key.

He picked up the pen and started writing on the table.

……

Wumen.

Gu Xu stepped into Feng Tang’s bedroom.

The staff in the pharmacy were giving Zhou Qiong acupuncture. His body had been cleaned, the old black blood stains had been wiped off, and he was wearing clean clothes. Underneath was a muscular body covered with scars, and it was obvious at a glance what kind of torture he had suffered.

Zhou Qiong opened his eyes slightly, and his expression looked very clear. When he saw Gu Xu enter the room, he subconsciously wanted to get up, but his body was pricked like a hedgehog, so he dared not move for a while.

"How do you feel?" Wu Feng was lively and asked with concern as soon as he came up.

"Thank you for your concern, sir. I feel great." Zhou Qiong replied quickly.

His eyes were glued to Gu Xu, and he couldn't hide his relief. It seemed that Gu Xu's appearance reminded him of his old master, and his eyes turned slightly red, and he blinked quickly.

There were brothers from the pharmacy who were doing acupuncture beside the bed, so Gu Xu did not go forward to cause trouble, but sat on a stool beside the table.

Before Gu Xu could speak, Zhou Qiong said, "Young Master, there are traitors in Wumen! I have already told them, but they..."

"I know." Gu Xu said, "I learned your whereabouts from the traitor's interrogation."

Zhou Qiong finally relaxed and smiled happily: "That's great... None of what I was worried about happened, that's great..."
