Changxing Hou Mansion.

"Early this morning, His Highness went to Minghe Palace to see His Majesty. Kang Haoming, the Minister of Punishment, was also there at that time."

"His Highness asked me to tell the Marquis that things have turned around. Please wait patiently."

"As I said before, your son will definitely be able to walk out of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment safely before midnight today."

After Deng Chuan cupped his fists and saluted, he said expressionlessly.

Hearing Deng Chuan's words, Geng Bingwen's heart moved and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the dissatisfaction on his face softened a little.

"really?"

Geng Bingwen hesitated and asked tentatively.

"Master Hou will know when he arrives."

"His Highness never breaks his promise."

Deng Chuan nodded affirmatively and answered slowly.

"Okay, then I will wait for the news at home!"

Geng Bingwen rubbed his neck, nodded slightly and said.

"But before that, the Marquis has one more thing to do."

As Deng Chuan spoke, he reached out and took out a piece of paper from his arms, and slowly handed it out.

"What is this?!"

Just as Geng Bingwen was about to stretch out his hand, he suddenly realized something, retracted his hand and asked in a deep voice.

One learns from every experience, and the last note directly caused a big mistake. Now he is more wary.

"This is the deceased's address."

Deng Chuan replied slowly.

"What's the use of a dead man's address?!"

"Is there something wrong with this person's origin?!"

Geng Bingwen first snorted disdainfully, then couldn't help but open his eyes wide and asked in surprise.

It was only then that he realized that since his son's accident, he had never thought of checking the identity of the deceased, and even now he still doesn't know who his son killed.

"If the Marquis is really curious, he can go and find out for himself. I believe he will not be disappointed."

Deng Chuan said meaningfully without changing his expression.

After Geng Bingwen listened, he hesitated for a moment, then quickly stepped forward, took the note, and took a serious look.

"The words have been brought. I'll take my leave."

"But if the Marquis wants to go, it's best not to go alone."

Deng Chuan left the last words, turned around and left.

After Geng Bingwen watched Deng Chuan leave, he thought for a moment, then immediately went to the pro-army guardhouse, called Xiao Huan, and rushed to the place on the note together.

...

A poor alley in the south of the city.

In a dilapidated house, Geng Bingwen and Xiao Huan stood side by side, and more than a dozen Jinwu guards were rummaging around in the house.

But Geng Bingwen and Xiao Huan had wry smiles on their faces, helplessly looking at this room where they could see every corner at a glance.

This was the address on the note. The dilapidated appearance of the house was a compliment. Apart from a table with missing legs and a pile of dirty bedding, there was almost nothing extra in the house.

"Master Marquis, are you sure there is what you are looking for here?!"

Xiao Huan looked at Geng Bingwen helplessly and asked questioningly.

Geng Bingwen didn't say anything. To be honest, he who was originally excited had already lost all confidence at this time.

He thought he could find some valuable clues to exonerate his son here, but seeing this scene, he couldn't help but feel that he had been tricked by his grandson again.

He really couldn't figure out what Taisun's purpose was in letting him come here.

"Your Majesty has already checked the identity of the deceased. This person was originally a scoundrel. He usually relied on deceit and abduction to make a living. He did many things that oppressed good people."

"But now it seems that he has not done anything well. Looking at the appearance of this family, the beggar will probably shake his head when he sees it. I'm afraid he won't even be able to open the pot, right?"

Xiao Huan shook his head, looked around and said.

But before he could finish his words, he couldn't help but smile miserably, because he realized that there wasn't even a pot for cooking in the whole house!

"Forget it, let's go back first."

After Geng Bingwen was silent for a long time, he waved his hands helplessly, turned around and walked out, having decided to return without success.

"withdraw!"

Xiao Huan smiled and shook his head, waved his hand and issued the order.

More than a dozen Jinwu guards agreed and all withdrew.

Xiao Huan was the last one to prepare to leave. However, just as he was about to turn around and leave with Geng Bingwen, he secretly glanced at the dejected Geng Bingwen, and then kicked the table with missing legs over with a cursing kick.

"and many more!"

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Huan suddenly shouted loudly, then opened his eyes in surprise and looked at the table that was on the ground!

After hearing this, the others turned around and looked into the room curiously, and then found Xiao Huan looking at something with wide eyes.

Seeing this, Geng Bingwen turned around hesitantly and returned to the house, came to Xiao Huan's side, also looked at the table that was on the ground, and then couldn't help but show surprise in his eyes.

"It's a secret grid!"

Geng Bingwen couldn't help shouting in surprise.

I saw that there was a hidden compartment under the table that Xiao Huan kicked to the ground!

At this time, the hidden compartment has cracked, and there seems to be something hidden inside!

Like paper!

Xiao Huan didn't say anything, just stepped forward, opened the secret compartment, and pulled out the contents!

It is indeed paper, and it is a letter!

"It's a secret message! A secret message to contact the Northern Yuan court!"

"The person who was killed was spy Bei Yuan!"

"It's really hard to find anywhere without wearing iron shoes. It takes no effort at all to get here!"

Xiao Huan said loudly in surprise while looking through the letter.

Upon hearing this, Geng Bingwen immediately took the letter from Xiao Huan's hand and read it carefully.

"The letter mentioned that the Northern Yuan court ordered spies lurking in Kyoto to conspire with the rebels to create chaos and disrupt the imperial court!"

"Congratulations, Lord Marquis, it's good now. If it's true, not only has your son done nothing wrong, he has also made a great contribution!"

Xiao Huan turned to look at Geng Bingwen and said excitedly.

"Great! My son is saved! My son is saved!"

"Commander Xiao, please accompany me to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit and report this matter to His Majesty!"

Geng Bingwen almost cried with joy. He carefully put away the letter and looked at Xiao Huan excitedly and said.

"That's natural!"

"Without further ado, let's set off!"

Xiao Huan agreed with a smile, raised his hand and saluted, signaling Geng Bingwen to go first.

Geng Bingwen nodded and immediately walked out quickly.

Xiao Huan followed, a strange smile flashing across his face that was hard to detect.

...

Minghe Hall.

"These young people are so audacious! How unreasonable!"

When Geng Bingwen and Xiao Huan rushed to the palace, handed the letters to Zhu Yuanzhang and explained everything, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but angrily said.

"Your Majesty, facts have proven that the son of the Marquis was indeed deceived by thieves and used as a pawn."

"I didn't expect that the remnants of the Hu Party would actually collude with Bei Yuan's spies, and they would actually try to create chaos in Kyoto by framing Zhongliang. They deserve to be damned!"

"Fortunately, it was discovered in time. Otherwise, if they succeeded and implicated the Geng family, if something happened to the Marquis of Changxing, it would probably chill the hearts of the army's lieutenants!"

Xiao Huan bowed his hands and said loudly.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but frown slightly. He had not thought of this at first, but when Jing Xiaohuan said this, he realized it.

Fortunately, I had the intention of protecting him at that time, otherwise once I fell into the trap of the thieves and severely punished Geng Bingwen and his son, Geng Bingwen's old army members would definitely have a grudge and their military morale would be ruined!

Perhaps, this is the real purpose of the thief!

"Geng Qing, I'm in trouble for you."

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Geng Bingwen and said seriously.

"It's okay to be a minor minister, as long as the truth is revealed!"

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

Geng Bingwen shook his head and said with gratitude.

Only then did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Now that the matter has been found out, not only is your son not guilty, he has also indirectly made a great contribution! After the case is concluded, I will definitely reward him heavily!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said with approval.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, can that dog..."

Geng Bingwen bowed his hands gratefully and asked tentatively.

"Okay, let's go to the Criminal Department to pick him up and take him back to the house."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said slowly.

Geng Bingwen agreed and left immediately.

At this moment, footsteps sounded, and Kang Haoming, who came after hearing the news, slowly walked into the hall under the guidance of Wang Defa, and happened to meet Geng Bingwen face to face.

"You came just in time. The truth has been revealed. Geng Xuan, the son of Geng Qing, has been released from the prison immediately."

Zhu Yuanzhang saw Kang Haoming coming and said loudly in a hurry.

"Yes!"

Kang Haoming was stunned for a moment, and then immediately agreed. He gave Geng Bingwen a few words and asked Geng Bingwen to go directly to Tianlao to pick him up with his token.

Until now, he was still confused. Although the person sent by His Majesty to deliver the message had already given a general idea, he still looked confused. He didn't know what happened. He only knew that the identity of the deceased had been found. Geng Xuan. It's unjust...
