Was the whole group wiped out in the previous life? Reborn to drag the crippled king into the bridal

Chu Xuanhan had returned home for a long time and had been sitting in the study with a gloomy face.

Leng Feng and Leng Yan stood aside, both with their heads down, not daring to even breathe.

"Are you speechless?" Chu Xuanhan shouted, "Does this king keep you like wooden sticks?"

Leng Feng actually had an idea, "Should I go and capture Yihe tonight and have the master personally interrogate her?"

Chu Xuanhan said angrily, "Idiot! Do you think the people in the General's Mansion are dead? If it were that simple, why would I worry about it?"

Since he chose to marry into the General's Mansion, he wanted to take advantage of their power. If he offended them badly, how could they help him?

Leng Feng knelt down on one knee and said, "Master, please calm down. I am a warrior and I really don't have the brains. Please forgive me if I said something wrong."

Although he and Leng Yan were both guards, there was a big difference in their intelligence and strategies, so he was responsible for doing the work while Leng Yan was responsible for following closely.

It can be seen at this moment that Leng Yan would rather remain silent and be scolded by Chu Xuanhan as a wooden man than to speak and be scolded again.

Chu Xuanhan's eyes were sinister, "If you know you have no brains, just shut your mouth. I will never count on you again."

"Yes, master..." Leng Feng responded in a low voice, not daring to say another word. He decided to learn from Leng Yan in the future, so that even if he was scolded, he would have company.

Chu Xuanhan glanced at the clepsydra and saw that it was almost time to leave the court, so he ordered, "Hurry up and prepare the gifts and go to the Minister of Works' residence."

"I obey your command!" Leng Yan responded and retreated. The moment he walked out of the study, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Soon after, the Ministry of Works' Mansion.

Chen Qi brought his eldest son Chen Jingxu to welcome Chu Xuanhan.

Chu Xuanhan did not go to the main hall, but took Leng Feng and Leng Yan to the study.

Chen Qigang had just returned from work, and he didn't know about Chen Qigang's visit to the general's mansion, but he knew something big was going to happen when he saw his gloomy face.

He quickly ordered someone to serve tea, followed Chu Xuanhan to the study, and watched him walk to the chair behind the desk and sit down.

Before tea was served, Chu Xuanhan asked Leng Yan to tell him about what happened today. Leng Yan was originally the bodyguard given to him by Chen Qi.

Chen Qi and Chen Jingxu were sitting below, their expressions becoming more and more solemn the more they listened, and in the end they were even puzzled as to why Chu Xuanhan did this.

Chen Jingxu was furious when he heard this, and regardless of Chu Xuanhan's identity, he harshly blamed him, "Your Majesty, how could you be so confused?"

Chu Xuanhan was unhappy, but he had to give him face, "I regret it too, but I don't know how I got over it at that time."

He did regret it, and even after he hit a wall and returned to Prince Qi's Mansion, he blamed Leng Feng and Leng Yan for not stopping him at the time and took his anger out on them.

Chen Qi didn't blame him, but he felt something was wrong. "Strange, the prince has always been calm and has never been so impulsive."

Chu Xuanhan was slightly embarrassed. “I can’t figure it out either. On the way to the General’s Mansion, I thought this was feasible. I only calmed down after I got back.”

At this moment, the servant brought some tea, so they stopped talking and waited until the servant left before continuing to talk in order to avoid being overheard by others.

Chen Jingxu took advantage of the fact that they were meeting in private and refused to give Chu Xuanhan face. "Is the prince perhaps bewitched by that concubine's daughter?"

"Xu'er, pay attention to the rules." Chen Qi scolded and looked at Chu Xuanhan, "Please don't be offended, Your Majesty. He is a little impatient."

"We are all family, it's okay." Chu Xuanhan suppressed his anger, "But although I like my concubine, I won't indulge in women."

Chen Qi tactfully changed the subject, "If it was really Yihe who did it, it would be fine. If it was someone else, it would be an attempt to alienate the prince and the general's mansion."

"After I returned home and calmed down, I also thought about this matter, but there have been many things going on recently, and my mind is very confused. I don't know what to do."

Chu Xuanhan thought for a long time in the mansion, but his mind was filled with either Mo Yaohua's crying face or the child who was already dead at birth.

He even thought of Yuchi Jiuyue occasionally. The chaotic news of her death made it impossible for him to think calmly about important matters, so he came here.

Chen Jingxu said: "Catch Yihe and torture her to extract a confession. If it really isn't her, force her to confess. At least give an explanation to the General's Mansion."

Leng Feng was overjoyed when he heard this. He had suggested this before and was scolded. Now he wanted to see how Chu Xuanhan would respond.

Before Chu Xuanhan could even open his mouth, Chen Qixian scolded him, "Stop talking nonsense. Have you read all these years in vain? You haven't made any progress at all!"

Chen Qi paused and continued, "Once Prince Qi really does this and Chaoxia goes back on her word, the relationship between Prince Qi and the General's Mansion will deteriorate."

Chu Xuanhan echoed, "This is what I think too. If this is really the person behind the scenes, no matter what I do, he has a back-up plan."

Chen Jingxu reacted quickly this time, "Because the prince was hit by his first move."

Chu Xuanhan took a deep breath and said, "I know that this matter cannot be repaired. I just want to know what to do next."

Chen Jingxu didn't say anything else, nor did he dare to offer any advice for fear of being scolded. He just looked at Chen Qi and drank tea comfortably.

Chen Qi pondered for a while, "Continue to interrogate Zhaoxia. If she insists that it was Yihe, let her die to prove it. Otherwise, we will interrogate the person behind it."

Chu Xuanhan glanced at Leng Yan, "Leng Yan, did you hear clearly?"

Leng Yan responded respectfully, "I obey your command, my lord."

Chen Qi looked at Leng Yan and said, "Let Leng Feng try the case. Leng Yan is too soft-hearted."

Leng Yan explained, "Sir, I didn't dare to use harsh measures again because of what happened to Xing Hong last time."

He was really afraid of the rope after being bitten by a snake once. He was worried that he would die from excessive torture and there would be no one to use him next time.

"No matter what the reason is, you are not as good as Leng Feng in this aspect." Chen Qi knew the abilities of both of them well.

Leng Yan stopped making excuses, "Your Excellency is right, I shouldn't quibble."

After Chen Qi made his decision, Chu Xuanhan returned to Prince Qi's Mansion.

Leng Feng immediately went to the dungeon to interrogate Zhao Xia. He wanted to use his strengths to get a good result.

What Chen Qi said was true. Leng Feng's torture methods were indeed more severe than Leng Yan's. They were simply inhumane.

In just one hour, Leng Feng had tortured Zhao Xia beyond recognition, but she couldn't die even if she wanted to.

Leng Feng threatened her, "My ancestors were born in the Ministry of Justice and were later sent to the Heavenly Prison. I have my own way to interrogate you."

Zhaoxia was so weak that she could barely breathe. "I confess. I confess. I confess everything. It's not Miss Yihe, but Miss Jinqiu..."

"Jinqiu?" Leng Feng was stunned. "Is she the concubine's maidservant?"

Chaoxia felt a sweetness in her throat and spat out a mouthful of blood before answering, "Yes..."

Leng Feng could not easily believe such a confession, and continued to interrogate, "Why did Jinqiu want to harm his master?"

"She didn't want to harm the concubine..." Zhaoxia breathed three times, "but wanted me to put the blame on Yihe..."

"Keep going!" Although Leng Feng was not as smart as Leng Yan, he was not brainless and had some ideas in his mind.
