After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

"waste!"

He Zongsheng was so angry that he used his cane to sweep all the items on the desk to the ground.

Zhou Bo quickly stepped forward and advised: "Master, don't be angry, or you will get hurt."

He Zongsheng's chest heaved violently, and his old eyes looked angrily at the secret guard on the ground.

The secret guard knelt on the ground and trembled.

"Why do I keep you guys? You can't even do such a small thing!"

The secret guard just reported that the eunuch who set fire to Kunhe Palace last night and the palace maid beside Concubine Jia have been arrested!

The task was not accomplished and the person was arrested, so He Zongsheng was naturally very angry.

"Master, have some tea to calm down."

Uncle Zhou poured him a cup of tea and patted his chest to help him calm down.

"Get out!" He Zongsheng shouted angrily.

"Yes..." The secret guard retreated tumbling.

"What a bunch of trash!" He Zongsheng said gritting his teeth.

"Don't be angry, sir. The failure of yesterday's event may be a good thing." Zhou Bo advised.

"How to say?"

Zhou Bo smiled.

"Just now the secret guard said that the person behind the scenes that the eunuch confessed was from the Southern Dynasty. At the morning court today, the envoys from the Southern Dynasty and the Northern Xin Kingdom had a heated argument. Although the emperor ordered the Southern Dynasty to reinvestigate the case, don't forget that the emperor also allowed the Third Prince to assist."

"Even if the Southern Dynasty really finds out something, His Majesty the Third Prince will not let them present the evidence to His Majesty."

"When the time comes, we can fabricate some evidence against the Southern Dynasty. Then, wouldn't it be a foregone conclusion that the Southern Dynasty murdered the Queen?"

After listening to Zhou Bo's analysis, He Zongsheng's originally angry mood gradually calmed down.

Zhou Bo is right. The country that is most troubled right now should be the Southern Dynasty.

If they cannot produce evidence to prove their innocence, the prince will certainly not let them off easily given his temperament. At that time, the prince and the Southern Dynasty will fight to the death, and they will just have to sit back and reap the benefits.

Fortunately, they had a plan in advance, allowing the eunuch to put the blame on the Southern Dynasty.

but......

"What if that eunuch turns against us?" He Zongsheng looked at Zhou Bo.

Zhou Bo smiled confidently.

"Master, rest assured. We still have the evidence against the eunuch. I don't think he would dare to betray his master."

"But even if he changes his confession now, it will be useless. The most important thing now is to find evidence. If he makes random accusations without any evidence, who will believe him?"

Only then did He Zongsheng feel completely relieved.

Although he failed to kill the queen this time, he did stimulate the prince.

As long as he loses his mind, they will have the opportunity to strike.

"By the way, Master, I have found out one more thing."

Zhou Bo whispered in He Zongsheng's ear and told him everything.

"What did you say? The child is still alive?!"

He Zongsheng was shocked to hear what Zhou Bo said.

"Where is he now?"

"He is currently serving the emperor as the leader of the Imperial Guard."

He Zongsheng frowned deeply.

Back then, he sent people disguised as robbers to kill their family, but he didn't expect that the child would run away and now become a royal guard. It was really fate's trick.

"Master, do you want us to take action to get rid of him?" Zhou Bo said.

He Zongsheng thought for a while and slowly shook his head.

"Don't act rashly for now. He is in the limelight right now. If we act rashly, we might be exposed. We need to plan this matter carefully."

He Zongsheng felt a little flustered.

The child's survival was a huge hidden danger to them.

He needs to plan this matter carefully...

While I was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

"Master, it's me."

Li Ping pushed the door open cautiously.

"Li Ping, what do you want to talk to me about?" He Zongsheng looked at him.

Li Ping walked forward, rubbed his hands, and spoke with some embarrassment:

"It's like this, sir. I have a sick mother at home. She is alone at home with no one to take care of her. I don't know what the situation is like at home these few days since I left. I am really worried."

"So I would like to ask the master to let me go home for a few days to take care of my sick mother."

He Zongsheng stared at him and saw that the worry on his face did not seem fake. He thought that it was pointless to keep him here, so he agreed:

"In that case, I will let you go home."

Li Ping was so overjoyed that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"

"But Li Ping, there are some things you should say and some things you shouldn't say after you leave. I don't need to teach you." He Zongsheng said coldly.

Hearing the threat in his tone, Li Ping's face froze, and he immediately assured: "Master, don't worry, I will swear to be loyal to the He family until death!"

He Zongsheng nodded with satisfaction, "Go ahead."

Li Ping quickly got up and left.

He Zongsheng watched him leave and told Zhou Bo, "Send someone to keep an eye on him."

"Yes, sir."

Li Ping packed up his things, left the house and ran quickly towards home.

He was so anxious that he didn't notice someone following him quietly.

Li Ping returned to his home and was shocked by the desolate scene in the yard. He quickly ran into the house.

"mother!"

When the people from the He family who were following him saw that he had really returned home, they turned around and left to report.

Li Ping walked quickly into the room and saw his mother lying safely on the bed. He walked over quickly and checked the old lady's breath.

I couldn't help but feel relieved.

Fortunately, the person is still alive.

Judging from the peaceful look of the old lady, she must have fallen asleep.

Li Ping looked around and noticed that the room seemed a little different from before.

The wooden cabinet that had broken legs was replaced with new legs, the house was cleaned up, and medicine was warming on the small stove next to it...

As I was looking at it, I suddenly felt a chill on my neck.

Li Ping tilted his head and saw a big knife at his neck. His legs went weak immediately.

"do not move!"

A cold voice sounded behind him, and Li Ping's whole body stiffened.

"Brave man, let's talk it over. Can you put down your knife first..."

The other party did not respond.

Li Ping swallowed his saliva fearfully, "If you want money, there is still some silver in my bag, I will give it all to you, all to you..."

"I ask, you answer, and you are not allowed to hide anything, or I will kill you!"

"Yes, yes, I will tell you everything I know!"

"Did you see He Zongsheng interacting with anyone in the He family these days?"

Li Ping paused and stammered.

"I, I don't know. I'm just a servant..."

"Tell me the truth!" The knife on the neck moved closer.

Li Ping was about to beg for mercy when he saw his mother on the bed coughing a few times and waking up.

"Child, you are here."

The old lady was old and her eyesight was not good. She only saw one person standing in the living room and did not notice the person standing behind Li Ping.

Li Ping thought someone was calling him, and was about to speak when he saw the person behind him put away the knife and walked towards the bed.
