That day, Xia Qie was strolling around the Old Summer Palace.

After eating and having nothing to do, Xia Qian, feeling bored, just went fishing everywhere.

As soon as I walked to the side of a rockery, something hit me on the head.

Xia Qi shuddered all over and quickly took two steps back.

Reaching out to touch his head, Xia Qi looked down at the ground and found that it was actually a carrier pigeon.

Xia Qi approached the carrier pigeon and saw that it seemed to be wounded by an arrow, and there was a small bamboo tube tied to its leg.

Xia Qi, a core staff member of the Flying Guillotine, narrowed his eyes and picked up the carrier pigeon on the ground.

The carrier pigeon was half dead and didn't move. Xia Qie took out the small bamboo tube and found a small note inside.

With a look of joy on his face, Xia Qian quickly opened it and took a look. Wow, this carrier pigeon had done him a great service.

Xia Jian happily spun around holding the carrier pigeon in his arms. If the pigeon hadn't had the arrow wound and blood on its body, Xia Jian would have almost bitten the pigeon a few times.

Xia Qian thought to himself: I'd better not stew the pigeon soup. If the pigeon dies because it can't be cured, I'll just bury it in a good place.

After putting the small note back into the small bamboo tube, Xia Qi picked up the pigeon and left.

After looking around to make sure there was no one else around, Xia Qi immediately headed for the Qinzheng Hall.

In the Qinzheng Hall, the emperor stared at the small note for a long time.

Su Peisheng almost stopped breathing, and Xia Qian almost pressed himself to the ground.

After a while, the emperor finally spoke: "Yunli died suddenly. The Zhen family should investigate and make a decision after finding the evidence of his crime."

Xia Qian quickly accepted the order: "Yes, I accept the order. I will take my leave."

When Su Peisheng heard the name Zhen family, he thought of Cui Jinxi from the Ministry of Punishment.

Originally, Su Peisheng was thinking of waiting until he returned to the palace and thinking of a way to get Cui Jinxi out, but now he no longer has this idea.

It is obvious that the Zhen family and the Seventeenth Master are doing something extremely rebellious. No matter how much Su Peisheng likes Cui Jinxi, he cannot sacrifice his own head.

The emperor threw a small note on the dragon table, and Su Peisheng accidentally saw the words written on the small note: The attempt to steal the sky and change the day failed, so I will lie dormant for the time being and wait for another day.

Su Peisheng's eyes almost went dark. It turned out that Prince Guo had such thoughts.

Su Peisheng was a little curious about how the Zhen family formed an alliance with Prince Guo.

The emperor did not issue an order to punish Zhen Huan again. Su Peisheng thought that it was probably because of Queen Chunyuan's influence. If it happened to someone else, they would have been executed without any evidence and would have been executed directly.

It was still useless. Xia Jian took his men to search the Zhen family and Zhen family members for seven days, but he did not find any serious crimes.

Just when Xia Jian was in a dilemma, he heard someone in the teahouse whispering, "You know the Zhen family, right? Zhen Yuandao had a daughter with the daughter of a criminal."

"Ah, no way, Zhen Yuandao has always been a gentleman, and I haven't heard that the Zhen family has a concubine?"

"Alas, you can only know a person's face but not his heart. I'm telling you this in secret, don't tell anyone else. The daughter of the guilty minister was originally named Bizhu'er, but later changed to He Mianmian."

"That's the mistress. Who would have thought Zhen Yuandao was so extravagant?"

"Hehe, speaking of Bizhuer, we have to mention Concubine Shu. The two of them used to be good friends."

"Ah! She is Master Seventeen's biological mother? How did you know?"

"Hey, isn't this the sister-in-law of my cousin's seventh uncle's eldest brother's son who has been meditating in Ganlu Temple?"

After that, Xia Qian heard no more noise.

When Xia Qi kicked open the door of the private room next door, the room was already empty.

Xia Qian understood that someone was deliberately providing the clues.

After seven days of investigation, the group of people could not find any major clues. Regardless of whether what the two people said today was true or false, it was better than nothing.
