I made the villain right.

Another place.

Several screams were heard in the dim prison.

“Ah! Ah…”

Several people were tied to the cross, their hands and feet were bound, and they were beaten until they were covered in blood. When the other prisoners heard the noise, they squatted in the corner, trembling, and muttered, "This has nothing to do with us."

Weidong did not let go of any suspicious points and later arrested the people who performed the parade and interrogated them.

Wei Dong stared at a man with a cold gaze, "Are you still not going to tell the truth?"

The man was the head of a troupe of opera performers in the Liyuan Opera House. A few days ago, someone gave him some money and asked him to perform a play in the streets to pray for blessings and ward off disasters. He thought there was no problem and accepted the offer, but he didn't expect to bring them trouble.

The head of the troupe was breathing unsteadily, and said weakly: "I have made it very clear, we are the troupe of the Liyuan Opera House on West Street. Someone paid us to perform this play, so we performed it. We just took the money to do the work, and we don't know anything else."

Wei Dong frowned and asked him directly with the portraits of Fan Hua and Shi Jin, "Who is looking for you? Is it the person in this portrait?"

The man looked at the person in the portrait carefully for a while and shook his head: "No, that person is wearing a mask, I can't see his appearance clearly"

At this time, a person suddenly came over. After Weidong saw him, he moved aside to talk.

"How is the situation? Has the person who scattered the money been found?"

"Commander, the person has not been found yet. I have verified the identities of the people in the prison. They are indeed a troupe from the Liyuan Opera Troupe. There is nothing suspicious about them."

Wei Dong originally wanted to pry some useful information out of these people, but got nothing.

"I know." Wei Dong looked a little disappointed.

After a moment, he turned his eyes and scanned the people in the prison one by one, then instructed his subordinates: "Since the matter has been investigated clearly, we will release them all later."

"Yes"

After Wei Dong came out of prison, he immediately went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to report the situation to Qin Yixian.

As soon as I approached the study, I heard a voice coming from inside.

"I have been guarding the city gates these days and have not noticed anything unusual. I don't know where the rebels came from, and they appeared in Kyoto quietly."

The Imperial Guard was originally under the control of Shi Wei. After Qin Yixian obtained the military power, he appointed his confidant Ma Dongcheng as the commander of the Imperial Guard, and Ma Dongcheng's task was to guard the city.

When Qin Yixian's eyes caught sight of Wei Dong's figure, he immediately let him in.

"Weidong, what's going on over there?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Dong quickly said, "I sent people to check every street and alley in Kyoto City, but I couldn't find any trace of them."

Qin Yixian's dark eyes moved slightly: "Where are those people in the prison?"

"They are just a troupe of operas from the Liyuan Opera House. They received money to perform the operas. They have nothing to do with Fengyun Pavilion."

"Have you found out who instructed them to do these things?"

Wei Dong looked a little embarrassed, "No, I heard from the troupe leader that the man was wearing a mask and I didn't see his face."

Qin Yixian was so angry that his face turned blue when he heard this, and he cursed: "They are all a bunch of rubbish!"

When Wei Dong and Ma Dongcheng saw Qin Yixian getting angry, they immediately knelt down, lowered their heads and dared not even breathe.

Qin Yixian's gloomy eyes seemed to be dripping with water, and he said sternly: "I don't believe they can disappear out of thin air, you search every house, even if you have to turn the whole city of Kyoto upside down, you must find them."

"Yes," Wei Dong and Ma Dongcheng said and quickly retreated.

After Qin Yixian saw them all leave, he fell into deep thought. He had clearly made all the preparations, but still failed. What did he miss?

At this time, Leng Yue walked in from outside, with a layer of gauze wrapped around her head and a slightly ugly look on her face.

Qin Yixian's thoughts were interrupted. When his cold eyes touched the bandaged wound on Leng Yue's head, his brows slightly frowned, "How did you get hurt?"

"I got hit during the fight, it's just a minor injury, nothing serious"

Then, Leng Yue told Qin Yixian everything about the ambushes he encountered in East Street. Qin Yixian frowned as he listened.

In a blink of an eye, Leng Yue expressed his thoughts: "I encountered two ambushes in East Street. According to my observation, I guess there should be two forces involved in this struggle, one is Fengyun Pavilion, and the other is unknown."

Qin Yixian frowned when he heard this. It was already difficult to deal with Fengyun Pavilion alone, and he never thought that there would be other forces against him. But no matter who the other party was, he had to find them out to eliminate future troubles.

In a flash, his eyes darkened and his tone was too cold, "There are other forces hidden in this Kyoto city? Then you must find them out. I want to see who my enemy is."

Leng Yue Leng Yue answered respectfully: "Yes"

Qin Yixian thought for a moment and asked, "Is there anything unusual with Xu Wusheng today?"

"According to the spies, he and Yun Youying attended the parade together today."

When Qin Yixian heard the word "game", a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, "Is it the game in Baique Lane?"

"Yes"

Qin Yixian thought it was too much of a coincidence. The troupe was instructed to hold a carnival, and Xu Wusheng happened to participate in it. This made him wonder whether Xu Wusheng was related to this matter.

After a moment, Qin Yixian ordered, "I suspect Xu Wusheng was the one who instigated the parade. Leng Yue, check whether Xu Wusheng or anyone around him had any contact with the troupe?"

"Yes"

Leng Yue remembered the glass bead he had picked up, so he took it out and asked in confusion: "I picked up this glass bead at the ambush site on East Street. It may be related to the person who ambushed us, but I asked around outside and no one knew about this glass bead. Master, you have a wide range of knowledge. Do you recognize this glass bead?"

Qin Yixian picked up the glass bead and looked at it carefully. Glass beads as delicate and clear as this one are very rare, and only royal nobles can use them.

After a moment, he said, "I vaguely remember that the Mobei Kingdom sent a batch of tribute, among which was a glass bead. Go to the palace and check the gift book of the Guangchusi to see who this glass bead was given to."

Leng Yue nodded and said, "I understand."

Qin Yixian put down the glass bead in his hand, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes, and for some reason he felt a little uneasy.

The sudden change caught him off guard. He didn't like things that were beyond his control, nor did he like the feeling of powerlessness of knowing nothing. What he couldn't accept the most was that he was about to get rid of the Shi father and son and put an end to all future troubles, but they were rescued halfway. Wasn't this a slap in his face?

The more Qin Yixian thought about it, the uglier his face became. His head also ached slightly, and he rubbed his eyebrows uncomfortably.

Leng Yue seemed to understand something when she saw this, "Master, are you worried about the Shi family father and son?"

Qin Yixian did not deny it. He sighed and looked a little tired. "Yes, the Shi father and son are a disaster to me if they are alive."

Leng Yue's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he smiled, "Master, don't worry. To prevent any accidents, I put a bone-burning fire on them before I left. In addition, they were also poisoned by the corrupt water. If there is no antidote within today, they will die suddenly."

Qin Yixian's eyes lit up when he heard this. He finally heard good news.

The next moment, a ferocious smile suddenly appeared on his face, "That's great!"

As night falls, dark clouds roll in from the sky, looking as if they will descend upon the city at any moment.

There were flashes of fire on every street in Kyoto City. The Imperial Guards and the Royal Guards were searching house by house, disturbing everyone.

A black shadow flew through the night and quickly rushed towards Fumengxuan.

Fan Hua was agile and nimble like a civet cat, and did not attract anyone's attention.

When Fan Hua reached the intersection, he saw a group of imperial guards coming towards him from afar. He immediately retreated, but he heard movement not far behind him.

For a moment, he felt that he had no way to retreat. When he passed by a luxurious mansion while walking, he accidentally saw the words "Yun Bohou Mansion" written on the plaque. He suddenly stopped, thought for a while, and immediately flew over the high wall into the mansion.

Then Fan Hua flew onto the roof, found a dark corner to hide in, held his breath and carefully observed the movements around him.

After a while, he heard voices coming from the yard:

"The situation in Kyoto has been turbulent recently. You'd better stay at home and don't go out," a deep voice sounded.

Instantly, someone answered: "Dad, I know."

As soon as the voice sounded, Fan Hua recognized that the other person was Li Muci.

At that moment, the imperial guards outside were knocking on the door. After a while, a servant came to open the door. After a while, a servant came to open the door.

More than a dozen imperial guards rushed in immediately, and the servant was unable to stop them.

The leading imperial guard gave an order, "Search carefully, don't miss any corner."

This situation alarmed the people in the mansion. When the guards in the mansion saw the imperial guards pouring in, they suddenly rushed over and surrounded them.

The servant was horrified upon seeing this and quickly ran to complain to Yun Bohou.

"Master Hou, it's not good!"

\"What's going on? Why are you in such a hurry?\" Yun Bohou frowned and asked the servant.

The servant swallowed his saliva and said, "The imperial guards broke into the mansion to search."

Yun Bohou frowned, stood up suddenly and walked straight out, and Li Muci hurriedly followed.

When Yun Bohou walked into a courtyard, he saw a row of imperial guards and imperial guards in a tense situation.

Qin Yixian had people search all over Kyoto for people from Fengyun Pavilion, and Yun Bohou knew about it. Qin Yixian was extremely powerful, and no one dared to stop him from doing whatever he wanted by making such a fuss. However, he was somewhat unhappy that someone was searching his house at will.

Yun Bohou's face suddenly darkened, "What are you doing?

Yun Bohou was a minister in the court, so the leader of the imperial guards gave him some face. When he saw Yun Bohou, he bowed and said, "I have been ordered to search for the traitors. Please help me, my Lord."

"There is no traitor in my house, please go back."

The leader of the Imperial Guards changed his expression, and Yun Bohou did not intend to cooperate. One must know that Qin Yixian was behind the Imperial Guards, and Yun Bohou's move was undoubtedly a disgrace to Qin Yixian.

"My Lord, why do you have to embarrass me? I am only following orders. If I let the traitor escape, I will not be able to report to Prime Minister Qin. Your Majesty, don't you agree?"

The threat in these words is very obvious.

Li Muci was looking at the arrogant look of the leader of the imperial guards, and he wished he could carve the words "even if you beat a dog, you must look at its owner" on his face, and anger was burning in his heart.

He has always been arrogant and looked down on others, but today someone actually bullied the Yunbohou Mansion. How can I tolerate him!

"What you mean is that there is a traitor hiding in my house. You will know if you live under my bed. Look at your ability. I don't know if you are a traitor or not, but if I don't kill you today, I won't call you my master."

After Li Muci finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to hit someone, but Yun Bohou scolded him, "Nonsense!"

When Li Muci was scolded by Yun Bohou, he immediately put away his sharp expression and lowered his head with a look of grievance.

Yun Bohou immediately changed his attitude and said to the leader of the imperial guards: "My son did not mean to offend me, please do not take it as an offense."

The leader of the imperial guards originally wanted to get angry, but when he saw that Yun Bohou's attitude had improved a bit, he didn't care.

"Let them investigate." In a blink of an eye, Yun Bohou ordered the guards to withdraw their troops. Upon hearing this, a group of guards made way for them.

The leader of the imperial guards curled his lips and showed a sly smile, "As expected of a marquis, you are sensible."

Although Yun Bohou was somewhat dissatisfied with the imperial guards' search of his mansion, he was also clear that there were no traitors in his mansion. However, he had already said this, and if he did not cooperate, he would be charged with harboring a traitor.

The General's Mansion has already witnessed Qin Yixian's ability to confuse right and wrong, and he cannot let the entire family fall into crisis because of this matter.

After thinking it over again and again, Yun Bohou decided to just endure it and let it go.

The leader of the imperial guards saw this and his face was filled with arrogance. He stared at Yun Bohou and Li Muci provocatively and shouted to his men, "Search carefully!"

Seeing Yun Bohou being bullied like this, Li Muci became furious. He clenched his hands suddenly and looked at the leader of the imperial guards with sharp eyes.

Upon seeing this, Yun Bohou hurriedly reached out and grabbed Li Muci's sleeve, shook his head, and signaled him not to be impulsive.

Only after Li Muci met Yun Bohou's eyes did he loosen his clenched hands and calm the anger in his heart.

After a while, the imperial guards did not find anyone suspicious and left in a hurry.
