However, one wrong step is a wrong step.

You have no joke, He Qianqian must die!

When Shen Yan arrived at He Mansion, He Qianqian was crying with her family.

"I've met Princess Youning." He Wentang led everyone in the He Mansion to salute Shen Yan.

His face no longer had the arrogance it once had, and was filled with respect.

"No need to be polite." Shen Yan's voice was cold, "He Wentang, please take a step to speak."

"Princess please."

He Wentang led Shen Yan to the study room, "Princess, please sit down."

The two sat down and He Wentang said, "I wonder what the princess is here for?"

"He Wentang, how much do you know about the assassination of Prince Ling?" Shen Yan asked.

"Princess, this matter has been settled. My daughter has paid the price with her life. Isn't it over yet?" He Wentang suppressed the anger in his heart.

"It's not up to you to decide whether the knot is over or not!" Shen Yan's eyes were cold, "Your daughter plotted against me and Prince Ling, and set fire to my shop, seriously injuring my subordinates, and even Prince Ling was injured. Do you think that Did this end so easily?"

He Wentang was silent.

"He Wentang, I believe you didn't know about this incident, so you and the entire White House can be freed from guilt." Shen Yan said coldly, "But before you followed Yan Chonghou, you did so many bad things, don't you have any thoughts in your heart? number?"

This time, He Qianqian disguised herself as Shen Yan and sneaked into the palace. Neither He Wentang nor Yan Chonghou knew about it. He Qianqian and Yan Zhaoyue conspired.

However, Emperor Xuande wanted to remove Yan's heavy position, so he took the opportunity to find an excuse.

Of course, He Wentang's position as mountain chief could not be preserved. He was smart enough to speak out on his own initiative, just as Emperor Xuande wanted.

"Princess Youning, what do you need from me to ensure that my family is safe?"

He Wentang was not particularly stupid. After thinking about it carefully, he understood Shen Yan's purpose.

"I want all the evidence of the crimes Yan Chonghou committed over the years, the more detailed the better, including all the people involved." Shen Yan said.

He Wentang stared at Shen Yan, and his heart was shocked. This time, Emperor Xuande was going to completely destroy Yan Chonghou's lineage.

"Princess Youning, Yan Chonghou is my brother-in-law. If I betray him, it is equivalent to betraying all my relatives. I will no longer have a foothold in the capital. It is possible that I will not even be able to survive."

He Wentang remembered Yan Chonghou's warning to him in the palace today.

If he had second thoughts, Yan Chonghou would definitely kill him to silence him, and his family would definitely not be able to survive.

"If you don't betray him, you and your family won't survive."

Shen Yan's eyes were full of coldness, "Now you have two choices before you. Give us what we want, and I will keep you and your family safe, and fight us to the end, and I will send your family on their way!"

He Wentang looked at Shen Yan and laughed.

"Princess Youning is so courageous. No wonder she is so respected by the emperor. It's really unfair for you to be a teacher in the academy."

He Wentang suppressed his smile and said, "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous. It's pitiful that my life has ended in such a bad state."

Shen Yan seemed to have given him two choices, but in fact, he had no choice.

"I can give the emperor what he wants, how do you ensure the safety of my family?"

He Wentang knew that Shen Yan did not want the evidence, but that Emperor Xuande really wanted it.

"When will you give it to me?" Shen Yan asked.

He Wentang replied, "Now."

Shen Yan smiled coldly, as expected, no one is a little white rabbit, but an old fox.

"When people are in the world of martial arts, they should always keep a guard up." He Wentang saw that Shen Yan was mocking him.

He stood up, opened the mechanism behind the bookshelf, and walked in. After a while, he came out holding a thick stack of account books.

He placed the account book in front of Shen Yan, pointed at it and said, "Everything Yan Chonghou has committed over the years is in it, including financial transactions, personal connections, the content of each meeting, etc."

Shen Yan picked up a ledger at random, opened it and saw that it was He Wentang's handwriting, which was recorded in quite detail--

In the Jiashen year, on the second day of March, Yan Chonghou received [-] taels of silver from the Annan prefect.

In the Jiashen year, on the sixth day of March, there was a meeting at Yan Mansion. The participants...

Jiashen year, the tenth day of March...

……

Piece by piece, every word is like a knife!

As people say, the knife stabbed by the person closest to you is the most deadly!

He Wentang thrust the knife directly into Yan Chonghou's heart. He didn't even have a chance to struggle.

At that time, He Wentang recorded these word by word just to save his life in the future.

Now, it really comes in handy.

"Very good. I believe the emperor will be very satisfied." Shen Yan looked at He Wentang and said, "Tell your family to pack your luggage. I will send someone to escort you away at midnight tonight."

"After you leave the capital, change your name. From now on, for generations to come, never set foot in the capital again!" Shen Yan warned.

"Thank you princess." He Wentang handed over.

After entering the capital, embarking on an official career, and finally reaching this point, He Wentang also figured out that no matter how famous or wealthy he was, peace and health were more real than being together as a family.

When Shen Yan came out of the study, there was a cry in He's house, and He Qianqian had committed suicide out of fear of guilt.

She didn't stop and went straight back to the palace with the evidence.

Royal study.

Emperor Xuande looked at the pile of ledgers half as high as a man in front of him, his face turned livid.

"You Ning, sort out the evidence." Emperor Xuande ordered, "Chen Fugui, go ask Yan Qing and Prince Ling to come into the palace to help sort it out."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Shen Yan, Xie Huaijing, and Yan Qing, together with the palace officials and hundreds of people in total, spent five hours sorting out all the evidence without eating or drinking.

By this time, it was completely dark.

"Your Majesty, arrest now? Or at dawn?" Shen Yan asked Emperor Xuande.

"Now!" Emperor Xuande never rested. He stood with his hands behind his hands, staring at the evidence, his heart freezing to the extreme.

"Seal the Shangshu Mansion and don't let me let out even a single mosquito!"

To be able to allow the kind and generous Emperor Xuande to issue such a huge death order, one can imagine how serious a crime Yan Chonghou committed.
