My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

The head of the Gao family hurriedly winked, but the servant was intimidated by the deputy lieutenant's majestic aura and immediately told the truth about the sale.

"Okay! How dare you run away!" The deputy lieutenant immediately figured out the key and growled sideways.

The head of the Gao family hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, I didn't!"

"Arrest him and his family!" the deputy lieutenant gave the order, and the soldiers immediately began to arrest people.

The head of the Gao family was grabbed by the arm by two soldiers and struggled: "How dare you, Mr. Shu! I am the in-law of the county prince!"

The lieutenant, who knew the truth well, sneered and said: "Isn't it just a concubine in the back house of the county prince's house? Without your daughter, there are many women to take over. But you should think carefully about how to explain all this to the county prince."

After speaking, the deputy lieutenant waved his hand: "Lock him up and wait for disposal."

"Yes!" The soldiers escorted the head of the Gao family to the backyard and locked him up with his family.

Subsequently, the deputy lieutenant took charge of the entire Gao Mansion, confiscating all the valuables in the mansion as if it were a house raid, and took them all for himself.

Some of those who escaped took advantage of the chaos and rushed to the county government for help, but the county magistrate excused them on the grounds that civil and military administration should be divided, leaving them to fend for themselves.

The beautiful concubine who was on the bed of the head of the Gao family last night went to the brothel out of sight.

That night, a fire broke out in Gao's family. The whole family and more than 200 servants and maids who were able to escape were all killed in the flames. No one survived.

At the same time, the county magistrate Mr. Sun received urgent instructions from Shangfeng and ordered him to continue repairing the Zhuohe Bridge to benefit the people.

After Mr. Sun agreed, he looked at the leaving figure of the person who sent the order and secretly thought in his mind: General Qin, a counterattack is coming, are you ready?

At this time, Qin Junyi had already left Heifeng Village and appeared in the new emperor's chamber with Su Yunwan.

Seeing that the emperor had not returned to his room, the two went to the imperial study.

In the imperial study, the new emperor's hand holding a secret letter kept shaking: "Trash, it's all trash!"

"Holy Lord, be safe!" Prime Minister Xiao and the commander of the Wuyi Guards were summoned urgently, and they went inside to kowtow and salute.

The new emperor waved his hand impatiently: "Pingsheng."

"Your Majesty, what happened?" Prime Minister Xiao asked warmly.

"Gu sent out the top master in the palace, Eunuch Yuan, and the master in the clan second only to him, to steal Qin Junyi's head overtly and secretly, but they still failed."

The commander was shocked: "Then they..."

"Dead, all dead, the entire army has been wiped out! A peerless master has appeared in the Qin family to help, you must find out who it is!"

"I obey the order!" The commander took the order seriously.

Prime Minister Xiao pondered for a moment and said: "As far as I know, no one in the Qin family except Qin Junyi can fight with Eunuch Yuan. Now that he is seriously injured, he will never get up to fight again. Could it be something else?" What force is secretly helping the Qin family?"

"What do you mean, Ai Qing?"

"It's easy to add icing on a cake, but it's hard to give someone a moment's help. Now the Qin family's life seems to be hanging by a thread, but its foundation has not been completely destroyed. There's no guarantee that some people with ulterior motives won't take the opportunity to win over and use it for their own purposes."

"Check! Check all the suspicious people for me. I want to see who else dares to peek at the throne!"

Qin Junyi and Su Yunwan, who heard this in the dark:...

The two of them made eye contact and simply used their trick to throw the wooden box in through the open window.

"Clang!" A loud noise came from the side.

The commander shouted: "Protect" and drew his sword to stand in front of the new emperor.

The new emperor hid under the desk with a hiss.

The Imperial Guards on duty outside the palace filed in, vigilantly looking for the assassin.

The wooden box was not locked, and after being rolled over, some of the letters inside were scattered on the ground.

The imperial guard stepped closer step by step with his whole body tensed up, touched the wooden box with the tip of his knife, checked it was correct, and presented it to the new emperor.

The new emperor emerged from the table, adjusted his crown and dragon suit, coughed slightly, and calmly picked up the letter and read it.

Soon, his face turned livid: "Come here, Prince Li intends to rebel. The evidence is conclusive. Arrest all nine of his clans and bring him to justice!"

"...Yes!" The commander took the order and left.

Prince Li is the son of the eldest princess. He really wants to capture the nine tribes, and the Holy One is among them.

Prime Minister Xiao's heart skipped a beat and he quickly said: "Your Majesty, whose letter is this? Is there a conspiracy in it?"

"Come and see if these are Prince Li's notes!" The new emperor threw a letter to Prime Minister Xiao.

He often received peace notes from Prince Li, and they had studied together in the study room when they were children, so he knew the latter's handwriting very clearly.

After Prime Minister Xiao read it, the hand holding the letter shook almost imperceptibly, trying his best to hide the panic in his heart.

Before the new emperor came to power, he was a member of the new emperor's party on the surface, but in fact he secretly cast a wide net. Among them, he had an affair with Prince Li for a period of time. If this past was revealed...

The new emperor's face was ferocious: "If you dare to claim the throne of Xianggu, I will kill all nine of his clans!"

Prime Minister Xiao bowed and asked for orders: "Your Majesty, the source of these letters is unknown. Please investigate and review them carefully, in case there is any hidden secret."

"Yes, you will be responsible for trying this case and finding all the traitors hidden in the court and local areas!"

Prime Minister Xiao accepted the order and resigned. After walking out of the imperial study, he immediately summoned the imperial guards on duty and ordered them to search for the person who sent the message.

The new emperor in the palace also summoned the secret guards to guard him secretly and asked if he had seen anyone suspicious.

However, no one, whether it was the secret guards or the Royal Forest Army, found any clues.

Qin Junyi and Su Yunwan had quietly teleported out of the imperial city after the new emperor ordered the arrests.

Wearing black cloaks, the two walked on streets deserted due to the curfew.

Su Yunwan thought of something and said aloud: "Tell me, will the new emperor regard you as the person who manages the prince?"

"It's possible." Qin Junyi's eyebrows were gentle and he was smiling.

Su Yunwan chuckled: "That's really interesting. They consume each other, which gives you an advantage."

"It's an advantage for us." Qin Junyi looked sideways, gritting his teeth and emphasizing the word "we".

It’s already come to this point, what’s the difference between you and me?

"Okay, okay, it's just us." Su Yunwan smiled sweetly, and then let go of the hands, "After we leave this residential area, I will start sweeping the streets."

Qin Junyi expressed his disapproval: "Wan Wan, I will take you somewhere to rest for a night before taking action tomorrow. You were busy all night yesterday, so you have to recuperate."

"The main reason is that there are many variables in Heifeng Village, so finish your work as soon as possible and go back early." Su Yunwan rubbed his hands, feeling a little impatient to take care of things.

Who doesn’t know the joy of stocking up?

"I have been discussing with Zhong Wei and the Chu family all afternoon during the day to make predictions and countermeasures. Don't rush in the next day or two. You and the baby are more important."

Seeing that Su Yunwan was unmoved, he added: "I still have people in Beijing. Let them find out the inventory locations of those merchants first. We will take action tomorrow night and get twice the result with half the effort."

Su Yunwan saw that he could guess her plan to leave money in one hand and collect supplies in the other without having to say it clearly. Su Yunwan couldn't help but smile knowingly: "Okay, where can we spend the night?"

"Follow me!" Qin Junyi took her hand again and walked forward slowly.
