I made the villain right.

The next morning.

Two pigeons flew over the sky of Kyoto City. They spread their wings and soared at an extremely fast speed. When they were halfway in the air, they separated and flew one onto the grass in the Fourth Prince's mansion, and the other flew onto the corridor in the Shogun's mansion.

A servant in the general's mansion took the letter from the pigeon and hurried to the study. When he arrived, he saw Shi Sheng sitting at the desk writing something, so he walked up to him and presented the letter to him: "Master, this letter just arrived today..."

Shi Sheng took it and opened it. His face changed drastically in a moment. He stood up and asked the servant next to him: "Xiao Fu, do you know where Dad is?"

"Master, the general went to Fumengxuan"

The downstairs of Fumengxuan is bustling and lively, while a private room upstairs exudes a serious and tense atmosphere, in sharp contrast to the outside.

Shi Wei was sitting face to face with a man wearing a conical hat. The black gauze on the hat covered the man's face, making it vaguely visible and revealing a sense of mystery.

Shi Wei stared at the man in front of him and asked him in a low voice: "Have you found the person in the portrait?"

The man said slowly, "I found him. His name is Hua Tian and he is the leader of Wuji Sect. Wuji Sect has been very rampant in the martial arts world recently, swallowing up and destroying other sects one after another. Only Qianshuang Pavilion and Fengyun Pavilion can escape his clutches."

After saying that, the man took off his hat, revealing a face with half a mask underneath. This man was Feng Nanyiyi, the strategist beside Xu Wusheng.

After hearing the news, Shi Wei was shocked and worried at the same time, with worry showing between his brows.

After Shi Wei received Shi Jin's letter, he knew that Fan Hua was the leader of Fengyun Pavilion. He had not received any letters from Shi Jin recently. After hearing that Fengyun Pavilion was attacked, he couldn't help but worry about her safety.

Shi Jin thought for a moment and felt a little doubtful. He murmured, "Hua Tian is a man of the underworld. He is a stranger to you and me, and he has nothing to do with the case back then. What reason does he have to harm you and me? Is there someone else behind the scenes manipulating him?"

After Shi Weigang finished speaking, he thought of something and asked, "Have you found the person with the crescent birthmark on his arm?"

When Shi Jin was kidnapped, Shi Wei went to rescue him and fought with some of the people. He found that one of them had a crescent birthmark on his hand, so he told Feng Nanyi this crucial information.

Feng Nanyi said calmly: "Found it, that person is now the housekeeper of Shangshu Mansion and his name is Pei Feng"

When Shi Wei heard this, his eyes suddenly opened wide: "The Minister of Revenue Mu Yi was also involved in the case of that year. No wonder he has always disliked me and targeted me all these years. What a bastard..." Shi Jin couldn't help but curse.

Shi Wei thought about the whole incident in his mind and guessed after a moment: "So Mu Yi and Hua Tian conspired together to set you and me up."

At the same time, a group of imperial guards suddenly rushed into Fumengxuan, rushing upstairs with an aggressive momentum as if they were going to confiscate the house. The scene was so big that the customers in the store quickly hid aside.

The shopkeeper downstairs frowned upon seeing this, and instantly became alert. He quickly gave a look to the servant upstairs. The servant immediately smiled and stepped forward, politely asking the leading officer: "Sir, may I ask which private room you have booked? Why don't you let me take you there?"

The leading imperial guard saw the servant getting in the way and shouted, "All other outsiders must leave and not interfere with official business."

Every time the imperial guards passed by a private room, they would push open the door and check if there was the person they were looking for inside. The sudden loud noise scared the people in the private room.

When Shi Wei and Feng Nanyiyi, who were in the room, heard the noise, their faces suddenly darkened.

Feng Nanyi quickly stood up and walked to the window to check the situation outside. Seeing that there were no soldiers outside, he told Shi Wei, "If the soldiers outside see you and me together, it might arouse suspicion. I'll go ahead."

After saying that, he jumped down from the window. After his toes landed on the ground, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he walked to a tea stall, sat down and watched the situation.

Not long after Feng Nanyiyi left, the private room they were in was pushed open by the imperial guards in such a rude manner that the door hit the wall behind it with a loud noise.

Shi Wei was originally drinking tea quietly, but his face suddenly turned gloomy when he saw this. He stared at the person who pushed the door, with displeasure in his eyes, which was the look of someone who was thinking of someone.

This Fumengxuan belongs to his son-in-law. If the door was damaged, it would cost a lot of money to repair. How could he allow such a thing to happen? He felt a surge of anger in his heart.

Shi Wei was displeased and yelled: "Why are you making such a big noise? You think you can just smash this door if it's not yours? If it breaks, I'll make you pay for it."

As soon as the leading imperial guard entered the room, he saw Shi Wei yelling at them. He was stunned for a moment, then ignored his words, with a cold face, and took out an imperial edict and read: "Your Majesty has ordered that the General's Mansion and Fengyun Pavilion are colluding with each other and intending to rebel. They are punishable by death. From today on, Shi Wei's military power will be taken back, Shi Sheng will be dismissed from his position as the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, and the imperial guards are specially authorized to immediately arrest the Shi father and son and put them in the dungeon."

When Shi Wei heard this, his face turned pale instantly. He knew that Qin Yixian would not let the General's Mansion go easily, but he did not expect that he would come so soon.

A few days ago, Qin Yixian provoked a war in the martial arts world and accidentally revealed his true identity. In order to prevent the news from reaching Kyoto, he returned to Kyoto and turned his sword against the General's Mansion, which had a close relationship with Fengyun Pavilion, and turned the tables. Together with some ministers in the court, he reported that the General's Mansion and Fengyun Pavilion were colluding with each other and were planning a rebellion, and asked His Majesty to order the arrest of the General's Mansion.

Qin Yixian knew very well that His Majesty had been relying on the General's Mansion and handing over military power to it in order to escape his control. In order to bring down the General's Mansion, he fabricated facts, confuse right and wrong, and presented evidence in the court, forcing His Majesty to make a decision to severely punish the General's Mansion.

The evidence submitted by Qin Yixian was the incident in which the General's Mansion disobeyed the imperial order and refused the marriage. He said that Shi Wei had known Fan Hua's true identity before, and in order to use the power behind Fan Hua to rebel, he was willing to disobey the imperial order and marry Shi Jin to Fan Hua.

Under pressure, His Majesty had no choice but to pretend to be sick and avoid the court. He did not attend court for several days and was slow to make decisions. This caused a group of ministers to kneel outside His Majesty's palace every day, crying and shouting, hoping that His Majesty would severely punish the General's Mansion.

Shi Wei and Shi Sheng have both been on leave at home recently due to circumstances, so Shi Wei had time today to meet Feng Nanyiyi here privately. Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened as soon as he came out.

Shi Wei and His Majesty are on the same front. He believes that this is not His Majesty's original intention. He may be under pressure or for other reasons. At this moment, Shi Wei feels vaguely uneasy in his heart.

The leading imperial guard said proudly: "General Weiyuan, please come in."

Shi Wei walked downstairs with heavy steps following the imperial guards. When everyone saw Shi Wei being carried away, they were curious about what he had done wrong and discussed it in low voices.

"Hey, look, isn't that General Weiyuan? What did he do to get him arrested?" A noble lady pointed at Shi Wei and her friend and said.

The lady's friend also said: "They actually sent the imperial guards to arrest him. He must have committed some serious crime."

Upon seeing this, the shopkeeper of Fumengxuan's pupils instantly dilated and his face turned gloomy. Before leaving Beijing, Fan Hua had told him to take good care of the General's Mansion. Now that the General's Mansion was in trouble, they would not stand idly by and must think of a way to rescue them.

Feng Nanyiyi, who was sitting outside, saw Shi Wei being taken away by the imperial guards. His expression suddenly became tense. After a while, he put down a few copper coins and stood up to leave the tea stall.

Shi Sheng and Shi Wei were forced by the imperial guards to parade through the streets. In order to maintain national stability, Shi Wei had been defending the border against foreign enemies for more than ten years and had a certain reputation among the people. Seeing that he was arrested now, many people gathered to watch, and the whole road was crowded with people.

Shi Sheng took the opportunity to walk side by side with Wei and got very close to him, whispering to him: "Dad, I received a letter from my sister today."

When Shi Wei heard this, his eyes lit up: "What did Jin'er say? Is she okay?"

"My sister is fine, but she said something very important in the letter. The person we have been looking for is actually Qin Yixian. More than ten years ago, Qin Yixian wore a human skin mask and established the Wuji Sect in the martial arts world under the pseudonym Hua Tian. However, he was ambitious and wanted to control the court while monopolizing the martial arts world. His intention to rebel was obvious, so he asked us to be more cautious. I was going to go out to tell you the news, but I was arrested before I went out."

The more Shi Wei listened, the more his face turned pale. He couldn't help but clench his fists, and a rage burned in his heart. He gritted his teeth and said, "We all guessed wrong. It turned out to be that bastard Qin Yixian."

Suddenly, an old lady in the bustling crowd asked curiously: "Sir, may I ask what crime General Weiyuan committed? Why are you arresting him?"

"That's right, General Weiyuan is a good man, we can't wrongly accuse him," the other ladies also echoed.

The leading imperial guard responded: "He committed treason and was arrested by your majesty's order. How can he be wronged? You should be careful with your words, otherwise you will lose your life."

After these words were spoken, the onlookers were afraid to speak.

At the same time, at the Fourth Prince's residence, Xu Wusheng was like an ant on a hot pan, anxious and pacing back and forth, as if waiting for someone.

Xu Wusheng was shocked at first when he received Shi Jin's letter, but he was also half-believing and half-doubting. He originally wanted to go to the general's mansion to find out the truth, but he met Shi Sheng being arrested halfway. He didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to return home and wait for Feng Nanyiyi to give him advice.

After a while, Feng Nanyi came in hurriedly from outside. Xu Wusheng saw Feng Nanyi and hurried forward: "Mr. Feng, I received a letter claiming to be from Shi Jin. I don't know if the letter is true or not. I hope you can take a look at it."

After saying that, he handed the note to Feng Nanyiyi. When Feng Nanyiyi saw the contents of the letter, he felt his head suddenly numb. There was an icy coldness on his expressionless face. His brows were furrowed, and a hint of murderous intent jumped out of his eyes.

Xu Wusheng saw Feng Nanyi's increasingly gloomy face and asked hurriedly, "How is it?"

"The contents of the letter are true, and the general's mansion has suddenly encountered an accident. His imprisonment must be related to this matter." Feng Nanyi suddenly remembered something, and the anger on his face dissipated, and an uneasy look emerged: "Your Highness, please enter the palace quickly, His Majesty may be in danger!"

Hearing this, Xu Wusheng was shocked: "I'll go right away"

Although he didn't know how Feng Nanyiyi came to this conclusion, since it was related to the safety of His Majesty's life, Xu Wuchen did not dare to be negligent. He set off immediately, walked out of the door, quickly jumped on the horse, galloped on the street, and went straight to the palace.
