After hearing the story of looking for a midwife in the middle of the night from the secret guard, Oliver felt both embarrassed and at a loss whether to laugh or cry. In short, his mood was very complicated.
"I was in such a hurry last night that I didn't have time to think carefully." The secret guard was very worried.
"Forget it, let's end this matter here." Worried that Asher would punish them in anger, Oliver took the initiative to smooth things over. After all, there are already enough interesting rumors about him, so he doesn't care about one more.
"Go down." Oliver said, "It's okay."
The secret guard took the order and left. Asher poked his cheek and said, "Are you not angry?"
"What's there to be angry about? There are even more bizarre stories in the book." Oliver stood up, "Let's go and see the girl that brother rescued."
In the side room, Feng Yatou has woken up and is listening to Aunt Wang's story about how she was rescued last night.
"Palace Master." Seeing the two people coming, the secret guards outside greeted them one after another.
Oliver said at the door of the inner room, "Is it convenient for you to come in?"
"Of course, of course." Aunt Wang hurried over and opened the door curtain for the two of them.
"Let's go see Miss Zhang." Oliver said.
Feng girl leaned on the bed, looking at the two of them with some gratitude and some timidity.
"Don't be afraid." Oliver sat on a chair beside the bed, "We won't bully you."
"I know." Feng's eyes sparkled. "You are Mr. Shen. I've seen your portrait at the bookstall."
"Yes." Oliver smiled, "No one will bully you again."
"Thank you, sir." Feng's eyes were red.
After Ye Jin boiled the medicine, he also brought it over. As soon as he entered the room, he heard a secret guard outside saying, "Valley Master, Lord Qian is here."
"What is he doing here?" Asher frowned.
After hearing the words Master Qian, Aunt Wang and Feng Yatou were obviously a little panicked. Oliver comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'll go out and take a look."
"I'll go too." Ye Jin handed the medicine bowl to Aunt Wang and left the inner room with Asher and Oliver.
"I've met the young prince." After seeing Ye Jin, Qian Manman quickly knelt on the ground and saluted - this young prince seemed to be very fierce, so it would be better if there was less trouble.
"Is there something wrong?" Ye Jin asked calmly.
"I heard early this morning that the young prince's men rescued a girl last night?" Qian Manman said cautiously, "I didn't know what the situation was, so I came here to find out."
"Master Qian is very concerned about this matter." Ye Jin sat on a chair and drank tea.
Oliver clicked the "like" button for his sister-in-law, looking like a prince!
"Since I am a parent official, I should naturally be responsible for the local people." Qian Manman said with a respectful attitude, "How about handing this matter over to a lower official?"
"The rescued girl is fine now. If you are free, you can go check the Hongxiangyuan in the city." Shen Qianfeng stepped through the door. "There are people in this city who force women of good families into prostitution. Don't say that you have never known about it."
"Yes, yes, I failed in my duty." Qian Manman said, "I will send someone to investigate right away and will definitely give justice to the victim."
"Looking at the injuries on Miss Zhang's body, I guess the brothel owner is not a good person." Shen Qianfeng called two secret guards, "You must protect Mr. Qian at all times and don't let him be hurt by the bad guys."
"Yes!" The secret guards took the order and stood by Qian Manman's side like a protector.
Qian Manman complained in his heart, "Thank you very much, Leader Shen, for your concern, but ---"
"Don't you think it's too little?" Ye Jin interrupted him coldly, "If you think it's too little, I'll give you five more people."
"No, no, thank you very much, young prince." Qian Manman waved his hands quickly. Two of them would be fatal, let alone seven!
"Why don't you go quickly?!" Ye Jin frowned.
"Yes." Qian Manman hurriedly excused himself and walked out, almost tripping over the threshold.
Watching his back getting farther and farther away, Ye Jin shook his head, "I don't know how this idiot could have become a senior official."
"The world is so big, there are naturally all kinds of people." Shen Qianfeng said, "We just need to do what we should do."
"Let's go." Ye Jin said, "Let's go ask Aunt Wang if she still remembers the fire at Feng's house ten years ago."
The morning passed quickly. With two ancestors standing beside him, Qian Manman naturally did not dare to be negligent or play tricks. He acted like an honest official and ordered the yamen runners to arrest people at Liu's house. The yamen clerk was a man who knew what was going on. He had made a lot of money by following Qian Manman over the years, so he secretly slipped out of the yamen through the back door and ran to Liu's house to say hello.
How could this little trick escape the eyes of Zhuiying Palace? However, they had already known about the collusion between officials and businessmen, so the secret guard did not stop them, but continued to lean against the tree leisurely, waiting to watch the show.
"What?" Liu Fu was at a loss after hearing what his master said. His family was already in a mess because of the loss of his beloved son. He didn't take it seriously when the eunuch reported that a girl had escaped from Hongxiangyuan last night. Who would have thought that the girl would be bumped into by the little prince? The highest official he had ever seen in his life was no more than the prefect, so when he heard the three words "little prince", he immediately trembled.
"I'm afraid there's going to be some blood this time." Master said from the side, "But Mr. Liu doesn't have to worry too much. After arriving at the government office, just blame all the faults on his subordinates, saying that you have recently given birth to the young master. It’s okay not to know anything about these things.”
"It doesn't matter how much money you pay." Liu Fu said hurriedly, "As long as I can avoid jail, I will definitely get some benefits from you, my lord and my master."
"In short, you only need to remember one thing." The master repeatedly reminded, "No matter what, you must make sure that the master is safe. No matter how powerful the little prince is, he cannot stay in Liusha City forever. As long as the master is safe, even if you are thrown into prison now, as soon as the little prince leaves, the master can release you. Do you understand?"
"I understand." Liu Ful nodded repeatedly.
"Master." The servant said anxiously outside the door, "Master Liu sent soldiers to take you to the government office for something."
"Remember what I said." The master repeated it again, then went out through the back door and hurried back to the government office.
In a short while, Liu Fu was brought to the government office.
"Young prince." Qian Manman said respectfully, "The person has been brought here. Where do you want to interrogate him?"
"Let's put him in jail first," Ye Jin said, "and then try him when we have time."
"...Yes." Although Ye Jin clearly looked free, Qian Manman obviously didn't have the courage to point it out, so he had to have Liu Fu taken to the dungeon first.
"When do you plan to interrogate him?" Oliver asked.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Ye Jin fed Maoqiu some water. "He is a rich but unkind man who seeks wealth and kills people. Let's keep him in prison for a few more days."
On the second day, the third day, and even the fifth day, Ye Jin still had no intention of interrogating Liu Fu. Every day, he and Shen Qianfeng just checked the case files together, which seemed like they were inspecting on behalf of the emperor. It was hard for Qian Manman and Liu Fu. They were originally on the same boat, but they were blocked by the secret guards and could not meet each other. They could only live in fear every day. In addition to being afraid of being exposed, they also had to worry about the other party causing trouble. After a few days, they were visibly thinner. Of course, it could also be because they were too fat before, so once they lost weight, it would be very obvious.
"How scared must one be?" Oliver clicked his tongue.
"It turns out there are officials who are so corrupt." Two stacks of rice paper two feet high were placed in front of Ye Jin. On top of them were the confessions that secret guards had secretly taken from ordinary people these past few days. They were full of the dirty deeds of Liu Fu and Qian Manman. , bullied the city and ran rampant in the countryside, doing all the immoral things.
"What are we going to do when we come down?" Oliver was holding a plate of grapes to eat.
"What should we do next?" Ye Jin looked at Shen Qianfeng.
Oliver:...
You could change the sentence structure a little bit.
"After these few days, I should be scared enough." Shen Qianfeng said, "I have done enough bad things to begin with, and yet I am locked in a dark dungeon. I don't know what my wild thoughts have become. If I don't interrogate him, I'm afraid he will Go crazy first."
"Then you can go and interrogate him." Ye Jin asked Oliver for some grapes to eat, "I won't take care of such things."
"It's been too long, Qian Manman is a ba5tard and a confused official, and most of the files from twenty years ago are missing. It's almost impossible to find answers from them." Shen Qianfeng said, "I just want Liu Fu to admit in person that he killed the whole family, I'm afraid. Somewhat difficult."
"I have an idea." Asher raised his lips.
Oliver said from the bottom of his heart, "It's not a good idea at first glance."
Asher laughed, "People who walk a lot at night are most afraid of bumping into ghosts, so we'll let him bump into him once."
That night, the secret guards used a reasonable and scientific method of drawing lots and finally selected the person to play the ghost. Of course, since he needed to speak lines this time, the secret guards who had previously been unable to speak clearly were excluded. They could only watch everyone getting ready with a slightly envious look in their eyes.
"It's me!" The secret guard who drew the skull was very proud, his expression as if he had won 2.5 million.
Ye Jin took a brush and dipped it in powder, turning his face pale.
Oliver sat aside and watched the excitement, and vaguely felt that he had seen the makeup artist from his previous life.
After half a stick of incense, Ye Jin successfully created a ghost.
"Do you know what to do?" Asher asked.
"I understand." The secret guard was extremely excited. This kind of thing was really thrilling.
"I want to go too." Oliver said.
"Okay." Asher obeyed his advice, "I'll take you to watch the fun tonight."
Ye Jin glanced at Shen Qianfeng.
"I'll take you there too." Young Master Shen was very tactful.
"I need you to take me?" Ye Jin said angrily.
Shen Qianfeng: ...
Oliver silently sent good guy cards to his brother in his heart.
In the middle of the night, everyone sneaked into the prison under the cover of darkness. To be on the safe side, Ye Jin found an excuse to replace the prison guards with secret guards during the day, so except for Liu Fu, all of them were his own people.
Liu Fu was drowsy when he suddenly felt his face getting cold and itchy. He instinctively reached out to scratch it, but his palms felt wet and slippery. He was instantly frightened and thought he had seen a snake.
"Hehehehe..." A hoarse laughter came from his ears.
Liu Fu sat up immediately and was so frightened by the scene in front of him that he almost peed his pants.
A fierce ghost in white clothes was standing in front of the bed, with a tongue that was a foot long in his mouth. Although Oliver said that only people who hang themselves would become like this, but due to Ye Jin's limited makeup ability, everyone agreed that this The shape was the scariest, so I ended up hanging my tongue on my teeth!
"You you..." There was a large wet spot in the middle of Liu Fu's pants, and he was about to roll his eyes.
"Don't you remember me?" The dark guard's voice was hoarse, especially creepy at night, "You have completely forgotten what I did twenty years ago."
"It's you!" Liu Fu had been in a daze for the past few days, and suddenly heard him mention twenty years ago. For a moment, his head felt as if someone had hit him with a heavy hammer, and his hands and feet were paralyzed.
"You still remember." The dark guard sneered, "I thought you forgot."
"Help---" Before Liu Fu could even finish shouting "Help", the evil spirit raised his hand and slapped him hard on the face, which hurt like a needle.
Liu Fu's eyes were even more horrified because just now his hand didn't touch him at all.
"Twenty years ago, I tried to harm my name, and twenty years later, I still want to harm my son." The nails on the secret guard's hands were sharp, "I'm here to demand my life from you."
"No, don't." Liu Fu's whole body was like chaff, "You also know what happened twenty years ago. Lord Fengzhuang kidnapped my whole family, and I, I had no choice but to do it."
Lord Fengzhuang? Everyone hiding in the dark was stunned for a moment. The master of Feng Village more than 20 years ago, Feng Yunlie's father?
"If he kidnaps your whole family, you will kill my whole family." The secret guard floated towards him again, "You are really a good brother."
"Don't come here." Liu Fu hugged his head and cried, "I am also desperate. If you really want to settle a score, you should go to him."
"Where's the jade?" The secret guard grabbed his throat, his fingers were cold, and his iron nails slowly dug into his flesh. "Did you know that I met the person I entrusted to me in the underworld? He complained to the King of Hell that I didn't keep my word. That's why I couldn't reincarnate for so many years. I feel so wronged..."
"In, back then, back then, I handed it over to Lord Feng." Liu Fu was so frightened that he was out of his wits. There was a stench under his body. He was obviously frightened and lost control. "I, I, I... "
The secret guard was filled with disgust. This was too disgusting.
Seeing that Liu Fu was dying, and that he had already asked almost everything he had said before, Asher whistled briefly, and after the secret guard heard it, he raised his hand and knocked Liu Fu unconscious, then turned and left the prison.
"Good acting." Oliver praised.
The dark guard is slightly proud.
"Let's go." Ye Jin covered her nose, "It smells terrible."
Everyone returned to the study and sorted out their thoughts. Now the thread of events was basically clear. More than 20 years ago, someone wanted to hand over the Xuanhai Jade to the emperor, but was assassinated on the way and unfortunately died. Before he died, he entrusted the Xuanhai Jade to Feng Fei's father whom he met by chance. However, because of Liu Fu's talkativeness, Feng Yunlie's father knew about it and coerced Liu Fu to hand over the Xuanhai Jade, which led to the tragic case of the extermination of the Feng family.
"Why do both Baijian Villa and the Emperor want the Xuanhai Jade?" Oliver couldn't understand. One was from a family of swordsmen, and the other was the emperor. How magical was this piece of jade that it would attract two parties to take action together?
"I have written a letter to the emperor. Since he sent Xiang Lie to look for it, he must know the secret." Shen Qianfeng said, "Wait a few days to receive a reply from the palace, and the mystery about Xuan Hai Yu will naturally be solved."
"The bones of the Sawtooth Camp on Yunya Peak, the broken sword in front of the Monkey Monkey Cave, and the Xuanhai Jade in Liusha City, all point to the Sword Worship Villa." Asher said, "With so many coincidences added together, it seems that this You must go to meet Fengyun Lie."
"Nine times out of ten, I guess that Sword Worship Villa is involved with the King of Zhou." Ye Jin said, "It seems that although he acts low-key, he is not a fuel-saving lamp."
"Now we can only stay in Liusha City." Shen Qianfeng said, "We will wait for the emperor's reply and the second-class Southwest Supervisor to come before we can leave."
"It's okay to wait." Asher said, "If the Feng family is really involved with the King of Zhou, it will have been a hundred years, so there is no rush for this moment."
The next morning, the bailiff came hurriedly to report that Liu Fu had gone crazy.
After hearing the news, Qian Manman was shocked at first, and then hurried to the dungeon to check. He saw Liu Fu sitting in a pile of filthy things, muttering to himself with a dazed look in his eyes. It was obvious that he was really crazy.
In an instant, Qian Manman's eyes flashed with ecstasy. Previously, he was worried that Liu Fu would not be able to endure the pain of prison and confess the dirty things that the two of them had done over the years. Now, it was good, and he could completely get rid of the whole thing - it was too easy to put all the blame on the madman.
Seeing that fleeting joy, the secret guard beside him felt contempt in his heart. He was really not a good thing. Even if they were just using each other, they had been living together for ten years. Now when he saw this scene, his first reaction was Be happy.
After Oliver and others learned the news, they also sighed in their hearts.
Such an ending can be regarded as good and evil will eventually be rewarded.
"Crazy?" Feng Fei was stunned after hearing the news.
"Yes." Oliver nodded, "You have avenged the extermination of your family 20 years ago. You don't have to pay with your life."
"...Yes." Feng Fei nodded, "Thank you all, heroes."
"What are your plans for the future?" Oliver asked him.
"I haven't thought about it." Feng Fei shook his head, "For so many years, my goal has always been revenge." When he learned that Liu Fu had gone crazy, he was a little confused for a moment.
"If you're willing, I can introduce you to a martial arts school." Asher said, "If you learn martial arts well, even if you can't become rich, you can at least support your family."
"Really?" Feng Fei was surprised.
"Return the child to the Liu family." Asher said, "Then I will send someone to escort you out of the city."
"Yes." Feng Fei nodded, "Thank you, Palace Master Qin."
"How about taking her with you?" Oliver pointed.
Feng Yatou, who was hiding behind the pillar, was startled, turned around and ran towards the back room.
Feng Fei blushed.
"I saw you guys chatting." Oliver's eyebrows curved, "How is it?"
Feng Fei nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Shen." Although it was only four or five days, there was some mutual understanding between them. They were both poor people, so naturally they would be extra considerate of each other.
Two days later, the secret guards secretly escorted Feng Fei and Feng Yatou out of the city, drew a route map, gave them money, and watched them go north. As for the child, he was also taken out of the farmer's house and brought to Liu's house at night.
A few days later, Southwest Supervisor Shi Fangxuan arrived in force with his people. Qian Manman was still secretly happy about Liu Fu's madness, but suddenly he heard that Mr. Fang was coming. He was startled and hurriedly climbed out of the c0ncubine's bed to greet him. Unexpectedly, before he could get dressed, he was directly Wuhua was tied up and thrown into prison.
"Young prince." Fang Xuan was sweating on his forehead. He had not known about such a cowardly official in his jurisdiction for a long time. It was obviously dereliction of duty.
"That's fine this time." Ye Jin looked at him coldly, "Don't let me run into this kind of thing a second time."
"Yes." Fang Xuan said, "This official will definitely work hard to govern."
"Deduct one year's salary and leave." Ye Jin had gained experience as a prince. "Go and investigate the matter in Liusha City and reexamine all the unjust, false and wrong cases."
Fang Xuan took the order and left. Ye Jin said unhappily, "It's more tiring than singing an opera."
Oliver put down the melon seeds and ran over to help his sister-in-law squeeze her shoulders.
The secret guard's eyes filled with tears. My wife became more and more considerate, which was completely unbearable.
"Palace Master." The secret guard came in with a letter, "He's from the palace."
"Take it apart quickly." Oliver's eyes lit up.
Shen Qianfeng opened the letter and saw that it contained two full pages. Ye Jin was shocked, "So many?"
"This page is all about reminding you to put on more clothes and eat more meat when it's cold." Shen Qianfeng handed him one of the pages.
Ye Jin:...
Let’s just say that things like brother are really annoying!
"What about the Xuanhai Jade?" Asher asked.
"It's related to Biquan Xi." After Shen Qianfeng read it, he handed the letter to the others.
Oliver sighed, "Sure enough..."
Compared to the nagging mother-in-law who told Ye Jin every detail, Chu Yuan gave very little description about the Xuanhai Jade, only saying that it was related to the Biquan Seal. As for other things, he couldn't explain them clearly for the time being, so he specially sent his trusted eunuch to come.
"Where is the person?" Oliver looked outside the door.
"It's coming, it's coming." The secret guard rushed in with a man on his back, "This gentleman is walking too slowly."
"It's you." Ye Jin recognized him as Chu Yuan's chief eunuch named Sixi. He had grown up with Chu Yuan since he was a child. He had contributed a lot in the battle to seize the heir, so he was considered his number one confidant. .
Oliver thinks the name is easy to remember, Sixi Little Balls.
"I've met the young prince." Sixi panted, obviously unable to keep up with the rhythm.
"Thank you for your hard work." Oliver expressed comfort to the manager of Xiaowanzi, because the secret guard always ran very fast, which was a bit cruel for a fat eunuch.
"Young Master Shen, you're welcome." Sixi drank two glasses of water before finally taking a breath.
"The emperor sent his father-in-law to talk about Xuanhai Jade?" Shen Qianfeng asked after closing the door.
"Yes." Si Xi nodded, "Long Live Lord said that the matter was confidential, and he was afraid that something might happen while writing the letter, so he asked me to come to see the young prince in person."
"Well, go ahead." Ye Jin poured him another glass of water.
"In theory, only the royal family can know the secrets of the Biquan Seal and the Xuanhai Jade." Sixi said, "But before leaving, His Majesty specifically instructed that Palace Master Qin and Young Master Shen are also family members, so there is no need to be shy about it."
Oliver and Asher looked at each other and both wanted to laugh.
Chu Yuan had a lot of tricks up his sleeve and clearly wanted to use Zhuiying Palace to solve the problem, but this time it sounded like he had suffered a loss.
It turns out that those who can become emperors are not good people...
