Tianxiang Tower.

"By the way, you might as well tell General Geng that the reason why I can control all of this is because in the entire Kyoto, in any corner you can't think of, my people may be hidden."

"The traitor who was caught in Tianxiang Tower is my person, the shopkeeper of Tianxiang Tower is my person, and even Xie Linzhou's most trusted butler, Sun Xuan, is also my person!"

"Including those who all evacuated Kyoto after this incident, there are also people from this palace among the hidden piles in the north!"

"They are all my people, how can Xie Linzhou and Zhang Yu fight with me?!"

After Zhu Yunxi was silent for a moment, he spoke again and spoke eloquently, with a sneer showing contempt for all things in the world on his face.

After hearing what Zhu Yunxi said next, Geng Bingwen, who was already dumbfounded, completely stayed on the spot. He looked at Zhu Yunxi in disbelief, and his face gradually turned pale.

As far as he knew, after the chaos, except for the shopkeeper of Tianxiang Tower, everyone else involved in the matter seemed to have died!

He couldn't imagine what kind of reasons could make those people willing to die for the grandson in front of him? !

An invisible fear swept through my body instantly!

"Your Highness just told me this matter, aren't you afraid that I will tell him?"

After hesitating for a long time, Geng Bingwen finally came to his senses and asked tentatively.

"you will not."

Hearing Geng Bingwen's slightly tentative question, Zhu Yunxi smiled, shook his head and said.

Faced with Zhu Yunxi's confident answer, Geng Bingwen frowned slightly.

It was only then that he suddenly realized that he could not see through the dandy grandson in front of him who was once called a waste by the world.

Deep in those smiling eyes, there seemed to be a cruelty hidden in them that made him think deeply.

"Or it would be more appropriate to use another word to describe it, that is..."

"You do not dare."

Zhu Yunxi paused for a moment, then started to add again, the smile at the corner of his mouth became even stronger.

But looking at this meaningful smile, Geng Bingwen couldn't help but feel nervous. An invisible fear instantly emerged from the back of his neck, and his entire back was soaked with cold sweat in the blink of an eye!

"Okay, since His Highness is so candid, from now on, I am willing to be His Highness's pawn. If you have any assignments, please feel free to speak out!"

Geng Bingwen tried his best to calm down the fear in his heart, stood up, bowed respectfully, and said categorically.

At this point, he had no choice. He had to take a gamble and place his hope of rescuing his son on the grandson in front of him.

Moreover, if he refuses, I am afraid that even if he tries his best to rescue his son, both father and son will eventually die in the hands of the grandson in front of him! Because he knows too many secrets!

He was convinced of what Zhu Yunxi just said, and dismissed everything he heard from his mind, not daring to write down any details!

"Very good, then from now on, you and I are in the same boat."

“Every success is a blessing, a loss is a loss.”

Zhu Yunxi nodded with satisfaction and said meaningfully.

"That's natural."

"But I dare to ask, Your Highness, how do you plan to rescue the dog?"

"Although the child is not a great talent, he is my only relative. If something happens to him, I really don't know how to live alone."

Geng Bingwen agreed, looked at Zhu Yunxi expectantly, and asked with concern.

"Regarding your son's matter, I have found out the whole story. It's just because someone insulted you in public at Fushou Residence. After your son heard it, he impulsively killed him with the help of wine."

"There is a reason for everything, and there is room for mitigation. There is a fundamental difference between intentional homicide and manslaughter."

"So he won't die."

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said slowly and comfortingly.

"But the friend who drank with him disappeared after the incident. I don't know where he is. Even if there is a reason, I'm afraid no one can confirm it."

Geng Bingwen said with a bitter face and some helplessness.

"Renben Palace has found it for you."

Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, reached out and took out a piece of paper from his arms, and slowly handed it to Geng Bingwen's hand.

Geng Bingwen looked puzzled and hurriedly opened the note and took a look and found an address written on it.

"Could that person be hiding here?!"

Geng Bingwen looked up at Zhu Yunxi and asked in surprise.

"It's not hiding, that's where he lives."

Zhu Yunxi shook his head and said affirmatively.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"But even if this person is found, it can only prove that the child committed manslaughter. How can we keep him safe and sound?"

Upon hearing this, Geng Bingwen hurriedly bowed respectfully, full of gratitude, and then hesitantly asked.

"Don't be impatient, Mr. Geng. You'll find out when you get there."

"Don't forget, you must bring someone from the Criminal Department with you when arresting someone, so that if something goes wrong, General Geng will not be able to explain why."

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand, said something with a smile, then got up and walked out.

Geng Bingwen agreed, looking at Zhu Yunxi's back meaningfully, a trace of solemnity flashed between his eyebrows.

"By the way, does Mr. Geng know who led the men to arrest the Young Master and then took him directly to the Ministry of War without explanation?"

When Zhu Yunxi walked to the door, he suddenly stopped, glanced sideways at Geng Bingwen behind him, and asked with a smile.

"Who?"

Geng Bingwen was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously.

"The commander of the heroic cavalry guards, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong."

Zhu Yunxi answered casually, and he walked straight out of the door and disappeared into the night.

Hearing Zhu Yunxi's answer, Geng Bingwen was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but squint his eyes. A trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, and his determination to surrender to Zhu Yunxi became stronger.

Immediately afterwards, Geng Bingwen hurriedly left Tianxiang Tower, changed into the regular clothes that had been prepared in the carriage, and immediately rushed to the Criminal Department.

His son Geng Xuan was originally a governor general affiliated with the Zuojun Governor's Mansion. He was working in the same yamen as Li Jinglong, who was also affiliated with the Zuojun Governor's Mansion. When the incident occurred, if Li Jinglong had thought a little about his colleagues, things would have happened. It would not have developed to this day.

But since Zhu Yunwen was banned from the Jinxiu Palace, all the officials in the court and the government who belong to the Jinxiu Palace faction have been cautious and cautious, walking on thin ice. Li Jinglong did not dare to be careless at all, for fear that someone would catch him again, and even he would fall down. mold.

But he didn't expect that his selflessness would unexpectedly help Zhu Yunxi.

...

A shabby alley in the east of the city.

Geng Bingwen and the new Minister of Justice Kang Haoming took advantage of the darkness to finally find the house recorded on the note.

In addition to the officials from the Ministry of Punishment, he was accompanied by Jin Wuwei.

Kang Haoming originally planned to notify Li Jinglong, the commander of the Knight Cavalry who had previously participated in the case, but was forcibly stopped by Geng Bingwen and notified the Jinwu Guard instead.

After Xiao Huan received the news, he immediately followed him personally.

"The person the Marquis mentioned is here?"

Kang Haoming looked at the dark house in front of him and asked in a low voice.

"Exactly!"

Geng Bingwen nodded affirmatively.

He didn't say a word about how he found this place, let alone any notes. He only said that he was concerned about the safety of the children and sent the housekeeper to lead people to investigate and find out.

"Commander Xiao, the rest will be left to you."

Kang Haoming turned around and glanced at Xiao Huan next to him, and said slowly.

Although the other party was just a witness, Kang Haoming had some doubts about this person since he disappeared for no reason. He guessed that there must be some hidden secret, so he brought so many people here.

"Don't worry, he can't run away."

Xiao Huan smiled and agreed, waved his hand, and rushed in with his men.

Soon, a burst of exclamations and shouts came from the house. After a short period of noise, it became calm again, and no fighting broke out.

"Master Shangshu, Lord Marquis, they have been captured, you two can enter."

Not long after, a Jinwu guard trotted out from inside, came to Geng Bingwen and Kang Haoming, bowed his hands and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Geng Bingwen rushed in eagerly.

Kang Haoming remained calm and walked in slowly with steady steps.

In the courtyard, a middle-aged man was kneeling on the ground being escorted by two Jinwu guards, looking panicked.

Xiao Huan stood aside with a livid face, glaring condescendingly at the middle-aged man.

"Are you the one who accompanied my son to drink at the Fushou Residence?!"

Geng Bingwen rushed over quickly, pointed at the middle-aged man on the ground, and asked in a deep voice.

Kang Haoming followed slowly, looking thoughtfully at the anxious Geng Bingwen with complicated eyes.

He had some doubts. How did Geng Bingwen find out the clues that even the Cavalry Guards had not found...
