After rebirth, I teamed up with the scumbag's mistress

Xu Xiuqi, wearing a nightgown and walking briskly, headed straight for No. 45 Nanjiang Avenue.

He climbed over the wall easily, moving silently.

Soon, based on the layout of the courtyard, the approximate location of the study was deduced.

Xu Xiuqi searched three rooms before he found the study.

Fortunately, I didn’t meet anyone in these rooms.

Xu Xiuqi successfully entered the study, and under the moonlight outside the window, he began to search.

Finally, he found some weapon design drawings and a half-burned piece of paper.

Xu Xiuqi walked out of the study in the dark and climbed over the wall quietly back to his residence.

He knocked on Wei Suxin's door hurriedly, "Madam Wei, are you still awake?"

Wei Suxin's hair was still half dry after she had just done a haircut. She opened the door in her pajamas with her hair half dry.

"Imperial Secretary Xu, I haven't slept yet. What's wrong?" Wei Suxin asked.

"Madam Wei, this is a serious matter. I have obtained the evidence. I am afraid that Boss Wu will find out soon. When the whole city is searched, we may not be able to escape. We must set off immediately." Xu Xiuqi said.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll pack my bags and come right away." Wei Suxin said.

After saying that, she went into the house and called Qiandai, and they both packed up their things together.

Not long after, Xu Xiuqi, Wei Suxin and their group set off.

They traveled all night long and headed for the capital without stopping.

On the other hand, Kang Miaoqing, who was far away in Beijing, received a quick message from Boss Wu a week after Boss Wu's weapon map was lost.

"A bunch of idiots. They are incapable of accomplishing anything and always cause trouble!" Kang Miaoqing was so angry that she yelled in the Second Prince's Mansion.

"Jia Lin, what's wrong with you?" The second prince just walked into the room and heard Kang Miaoqing throwing a tantrum.

"Boss Wu lost the weapons manufacturing blueprints in Yuhang a week ago," said Kang Miaoqing.

The second prince's pupils shrank, and he grabbed Kang Miaoqing's shoulders and said in a daze, "What?! You mean that the illegal mining of iron ore and the manufacture of weapons have been discovered?!"

Kang Miaoqing nodded.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid it was your opponent who did this. Our only option now is to put the blame on Boss Wu," said Kang Miaoqing.

"This matter, this matter...can I really shirk it?" When the second prince said this, he looked worried and anxious.

Half a month later, Xu Xiuqi and Wei Suxin arrived in the capital.

The two of them had no time to rest and went straight into the palace.

In the side hall of Qianqi Palace, the young eunuch reported and then led them in.

"Imperial Censor Xu, Madam Wei, what brings you two here for?" The emperor seemed to be in a good mood today. He asked after taking a sip of tea.

Xu Xiuqi saluted the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I report that the Second Prince and his gang have colluded with the State of Chen and the merchant Boss Wu to illegally mine iron ore and smuggle arms. Please investigate."

The official was shocked and horrified, and put down the teacup.

"How could Hong Shen do such a thing?" The emperor loved Concubine Wan very much, so he loved the second prince as well.

If it weren't for the patriarchal system and the suppression of that group of ministers, he would have wanted to replace the queen long ago and make the second prince the crown prince.

The Queen was just a person he had no choice but to obey the choice of the Queen Mother and the late Emperor.

The queen was not his favorite.

Xu Xiuqi was not surprised to hear the official ask this. He just quietly took out the weapon manufacturing drawings and the half-burned note.

The eunuch presented the things carefully to the emperor.

After the emperor saw it, he was furious and said, "Evil son, is he planning to rebel?!"

"Send this evil boy to see me!"

The chief eunuch beside the emperor received the order to leave the side hall and found a eunuch to go to the second prince's palace to deliver the message.

The second prince was sitting in the pavilion at home, practicing calligraphy.

But he didn't know why, he was not calm today and couldn't write well.

There are already several paper balls on the ground.

The eunuch who delivered the message entered the Second Prince's residence and went straight to the Second Prince in the pavilion, "Your Highness, the Emperor invites you to the palace."

The second prince suddenly began to have doubts, knowing vaguely that the matter of the iron mine might have been exposed.

He didn't dare to enter the palace at all, but he didn't dare to disobey the order either.

Kang Miaoqing was standing by and said, "Your Highness, I will go with you."

The second prince now felt a little more assured.

The two men entered the palace. As soon as they entered the side hall, they saw the emperor with an angry face and knew that something was wrong.

"Second brother, please explain this drawing and this note." Guan Jia said coldly.

Cold sweat instantly broke out on the second prince's forehead. The emperor did not call him by his name as affectionately as usual, but called him "Second Brother".

The second prince picked up the weapon manufacturing blueprint and the half-burned paper. Why did the word "Second Prince" appear on the paper?

Boss Wu is so careless in his work!

The second prince now hated him in his heart.

"Father, why are you asking me about this blueprint? This is the first time I've seen it. Is this the new weapon style you want to create?" The second prince asked, pretending to be ignorant.

The official looked him up and down for a long while before he slowly said, "Then how do you explain the three words 'Second Prince' on this piece of paper?"

"This was found in the search of Mr. Wu, who was illegally mining iron ore in Yuhang. You obviously have contacts with him. Censor Xu said that Mr. Wu had appeared in the iron mine. Madam Wei also saw it with her own eyes. At the same time, there are also common people who can testify that the government of Yuhang conscripted men just to mine this iron mine."

"If I remember correctly, your fiefdom includes Yuhang, right?"

The second prince quickly calmed down, and remembering what Kang Miaoqing had said before, he replied: "Father, this matter has nothing to do with me. Although I have contacts with Boss Wu, it is just a personal relationship. We are just drinking buddies."

"As for the government in Yuhang, it's thousands of miles away, so I don't know much about it."

The second prince quickly got rid of the blame.

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Please ask the Minister of Justice Guo Zuoming to go to Yuhang and investigate this matter thoroughly!"

After receiving the order, the chief eunuch hurried out of the hall and went to the Ministry of Justice to find Minister Guo.

"Your Highness, Boss Wu is just a businessman. How could he possibly make the Yuhang government willing to take such a big risk to help him do such a life-threatening thing?" Xu Xiuqi asked unwillingly.

"Censor Xu, you should go ask the official from Yuhang about this matter. What do you want me to do?" said the second prince.

"Your Majesty, there is clearly someone behind Boss Wu, I hope you can investigate this clearly." Xu Xiuqi pleaded.

"Imperial Secretary Xu, I have already handed the matter over to the Ministry of Justice. If it was done by my second brother, I will never tolerate it." said the emperor.

When the second prince heard this, he felt a chill in his heart. It was true that there was no father and son in the royal family.

He made up his mind to find an opportunity to launch a coup.

He has been waiting for too long. If this matter is discovered, he will lose the initiative, so it is better to strike first!
