After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

Qiu Guangquan was confused at this time.

A great panic enveloped him.

"Brothers, is there any misunderstanding here?" Qiu Guangquan spoke reluctantly to hide his panic.

We can't panic now and we can't lose our composure.

He took out a heavy purse from his bosom and stuffed it into the soldier's hand.

"Today is my mother's birthday party, brothers, come in and have a drink..."

The soldier expressionlessly slapped the purse out of Qiu Guangquan's hand.

"Master Qiu, we are following your orders, please don't make it difficult for us."

"take away!"

Two soldiers immediately surrounded him, grabbed Qiu Guangquan from the left and right, and dragged him out of the door.

"You have arrested the wrong person!"

"I am the Minister of Personnel! You can't arrest me at will!"

"Your Majesty! I want to see Your Majesty!"

The officers and soldiers of the Dali Temple ignored Qiu Guangquan's wailing and took him to the Dali Temple prison.

The rest of the people looked at each other.

Duke Jiang and Jiang Ci Yan looked at each other.

Everyone knew in their hearts that it was the prince who took action.

As long as the crown prince intervenes, even with the third prince, Qiu Guangquan will not be able to escape unscathed.

The third prince's helper is gone...

At this time, the Qiu Mansion was in chaos.

When Mrs. Qiu saw her son being taken away, she fainted on the spot.

Mrs. Qiu is still in a coma.

After Qiu Guangquan slapped her, Qiu Maner has been in a dazed state.

The other female members of the Qiu family kept crying.

Seeing such chaos, everyone felt reluctant to stay any longer and said goodbye.

After leaving Qiu Mansion, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

This time, the Qiu family has become the center of attention in the entire capital...

On the carriage back home, Jiang Ruoli was unusually silent.

She found that things were somewhat different from what she saw in the original book.

The original book did not give a particularly detailed description of Qiu Guangquan's incident, only saying that Qiu Guangquan had sex with a pair of twin siblings.

She naturally thought that Qiu Guangquan was just playing around.

But looking at the two siblings today, they were completely forced.

The two of them cried miserably and were completely unwilling.

This bastard author couldn't write clearly even with a God's perspective, and almost caused a disaster.

Jiang Ruoli couldn't help but curse the author of the original book.

Jiang Ci Yan also felt guilty.

If he had been more careful, he might have noticed the maid on the bed and prevented any harm in time.

Although Qiu Guangquan was too extreme, the maid and the servant were innocent.

Several people returned home quickly.

Jiang Ruoli saw that her brother looked a little depressed and guessed what he was thinking.

"Brother, are you still worried about the situation of the twin siblings?"

Jiang Ci Yan did not hide anything, nodded and sighed.

【Big brother, you don’t have to worry about it. 】

[In that situation, everyone knew it was a trap, so there was no point in caring about anything else.]

Thinking of something, Jiang Ruoli advised: "If you feel bad, you might as well send someone to find out and bring the two siblings to the mansion to work. This will also be a guarantee for them."

Under the current circumstances, the Qiu family will not be able to hold out for much longer.

Jiang Ci Yan looked at Madam Jiang and asked for her opinion.

After all, the mother has the final say at home.

Mrs. Jiang also felt sorry for the twins, so she agreed.

Jiang Ci Yan arranged people to keep an eye on the movements in the Qiu Mansion.

After everything was arranged, everyone went back to their rooms.

Jiang Ruoli lay in bed, but couldn't fall asleep.

Logically speaking, Qiu Guangquan was captured and the Third Prince lost a great helper, so she should be happy.

But she always felt something was wrong, as if she had missed some key points.

What is it......

-

"What did you say?!"

Xiao Yuheng grabbed the collar of the secret guard in front of him and questioned him harshly.

"Your Highness, the Minister of Personnel, Mr. Qiu, has been arrested for corruption and bribery!"

"Early this morning, Lord Zhu from the Censorate delivered the impeachment letter and evidence to His Majesty."

"This time the evidence is irrefutable. His Majesty has ordered that Lord Qiu be taken to the Dali Temple Prison. Lord Qiu is probably... in great danger!"

Xiao Yuheng pushed the secret guard to the ground.

His eyes were red and he was burning with anger.

The Chief Censor Zhu Wenliang is the prince's man.

Xiao Yujing, it's you again...

He was finally released from house arrest recently and has been busy with the transfer of Lingyunwei.

Yesterday, Qiu Guangquan sent someone to invite him to attend Old Madam Qiu's birthday party, but he was too busy and distracted to go. He didn't expect something like this to happen.

Fortunately, he did not go. If he had gone to the banquet today, Xiao Yujing would definitely have traced him back through Qiu Guangquan.

"Your Highness," Eunuch Liu said worriedly, "Will this matter implicate you..."

"No." Xiao Yuheng calmed down, "Qiu Guangquan has been taking bribes for many years by taking advantage of his position. He deserves to be arrested today."

Although he used Qiu Guangquan to insert a few people into the court, they were all minor officials and Qiu Guangquan himself didn't know about it.

Even if he was caught, the blame would not be put on him.

It’s a pity that after Qiu Guangquan’s incident, it will be difficult for him to get people into the court again.

Xiao Yuheng was filled with resentment.

What went wrong and why everything that happened recently went against him.

Xiao Yuheng looked up at the sky outside the window.

Could it be that even God won't help him...

At this time, the East Palace.

"Have you found it?"

Xiao Yujing sat behind the desk, looked at the secret guards kneeling below, and asked.

"Reporting to Your Highness, I have found it."

"The servant who delivered the evidence to Zhu Zhongcheng last night was arranged by Lord Xiao Jiang from the Zhenguo Mansion."

Jiang Ci Yan?

Xiao Yujing was a little surprised.

Having been a lone minister in the Zhenguo Mansion for so many years, he has never bothered to take part in party disputes.

What on earth had happened that made Duke Jiang willing to surrender to him?

Thinking of the chatterbox from the Jiang family.

Could it be that it was because she revealed the future fate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion that the Jiang family made the change?

"Your Highness, I have something else to report."

"explain."

"Although the young eunuch I assassinated on the night of the Autumn Hunt died suddenly, I have been investigating the matter."

"Yesterday we found out that before the young eunuch attempted the assassination, someone saw him meet the senior palace maid beside Concubine Jia."

Concubine Jia...

Xiao Yujing sneered.

This mother and son are really bold and presumptuous.

interesting.

......

Qiu Guangquan had been involved in corruption and bribery for many years. After being arrested, he confessed everything without much torture.

Qiu Guangquan confessed to his crimes.

Qiu Guangquan was sentenced to death and Qiu's house was ransacked. The officers and soldiers found a room full of gold and silver from the secret room in Qiu Guangquan's study, not to mention the furniture in the house, many of which were priceless antiques.

It can be seen how much money Qiu Guangquan has embezzled over the years.

Although the officials involved in this case are all minor officials of low rank, the coverage is too wide, with officials involved in nearly two-thirds of the departments.

The emperor was furious and ordered all departments to conduct a thorough investigation of their officials and not let anyone off the hook.

Jiang Ci Yan also became busy and returned home very late every day. Sometimes he would stay directly in the Hanlin Academy when he was very busy.

Mrs. Jiang felt very distressed, but she also knew that this was her duty as a subject.

On this day, Jiang Ruoli was playing Gobang with Mrs. Jiang.

Although she doesn't know how to play Go, she is quite good at playing Gobang.

Just when I was getting excited, I saw Jiang Ci Jin walking in.

"Little sister, the date has been set. Baixianglou will open on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month."

Jiang Ci Jin curled his lips and smiled.

"Little sister, can you please give me a favor?"
