The mistress was reborn and broke off the engagement, the regent cried and begged to marry into the

Lord Wan received the order and dispatched personnel to investigate. After investigation, it was discovered that the deceased were not from the same family.

After all, there is no such thing as a complete family consisting entirely of young and middle-aged people. It is hard not to think about it carefully and feel terrified.

Xie Qiuguang and the two brothers of the Wei family were listening to books leisurely in the teahouse, completely ignoring the disturbances in the court.

They don't want to know, but the matter is too big.

Ordinary people will inevitably discuss it after dinner, and occasionally listen to it.

"Tell me, who did that family offend? To wipe out the entire family, what a huge vengeance this is."

"Who told you they were a family? The latest news is that they are not a family."

"Yes, yes, I also heard that they are not from the same family. Since so many weapons were found, they must be the people in charge of guarding."

"Is this difficult to investigate? If we check who owns the house, we will know."

"That's the weird thing. The owner of the house has been dead for many years. You can't ask him in the underworld, right?"

Wei Jingyan supported his chin with his hand: "Your Highness, who do you think is so brave? Weapons alone are nothing, there are also multiple sets of armor. Even a fool can see what the mastermind behind this is trying to do. But the location of that house is very strange. Brother, don’t you think so?"

He looked like he was just watching the fun, not minding any trouble. It had nothing to do with them anyway.

Xie Qiuguang picked up the snacks on the plate and tasted them, and found that they tasted good.

He winked at Ling Ze. He quickly asked the chef in the palace to learn how to cook it and send it to Hai Tong to taste in the evening.

Ling Ze rolled his eyes and walked away. He found the owner of the teahouse and paid for the recipe of the snacks.

Not only that, they also have to promise not to open a store to sell the products.

The boss knew that he was from the palace and believed in his integrity.

Wei Yuyou took a sip of tea and said, "Many people are in a state of panic. Regardless of whether they are really related to this matter or not, it is difficult to clear suspicion once they are involved. Sometimes, what matters is not the truth, but who benefits in the end."

"It's boring. It's easy to clear the suspicion. Just find a scapegoat." Wei Jingyan was fed up with this trick of those people.

East Palace.

The Crown Prince met with Lord Wan and said, "What are you investigating? After all, your nephew lives nearby. This is such a serious matter. Not only does he live nearby, but he should be arrested and interrogated even if he passes by. Hurry up and get your nephew to move away, and seal up all the mouths that need to be sealed."

Lord Wan trembled and said, "Yes, I will send him away immediately."

"Wait." Wang Duyun thought carefully and said, "This matter cannot be concealed. We must report everything we find out to our father."

The prince hesitated: "Our people are involved. If we report it, I'm afraid the emperor will be furious."

Wang Duyun smiled: "That's why we have to report it. Don't forget, it's not just our people involved. The third and fourth brothers are also involved. If we report the truth, the youngest one will be disliked. But the fourth brother has always been fascinated by mountains and rivers..."

If you are suspected, the consequences are self-evident.

The prince nodded in understanding: "Do you know what to do?"

Lord Wan's forehead was covered with sweat. "I understand. I will go to the palace immediately to report to His Majesty."

The Third Prince's Mansion. Study.

Xie Chengming grabbed the inkstone and threw it at the kneeling person below him: "Why not choose any other location? Choose that one."

The one kneeling nervously was Lord Zhao of Zuo Fengyi, who did not dare to dodge when the inkstone hit his head.

Pain came and blood flowed down my cheek.

He was even more humble: "My son just bought this house and hasn't lived in it for a few days."

Why buy a house?

Place it in the outer room.

As luck would have it, I lived next door, and the people around here saw him coming in and out several times.

Xie Chengming suppressed his anger and said, "I don't care what you did in the past. If you dare to drag your feet on important matters, you know the consequences. Fortunately, it is not just you who is involved. The Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince are also not at peace. The Crown Prince will probably report the truth, so you must be frank."

Lord Zhao quickly agreed.

Xie Chengming rubbed his temple and waved his hand: "Go down. Teach your son well."

"Yes." Lord Zhao stood up and bowed before leaving. If this matter is not handled properly, the family property may be confiscated.

courtyard.

Chen Yan walked into the room and bowed: "I have found out everything. The case does involve the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fourth Prince's people."

Shangguan Moyu frowned slightly: "It's really too coincidental. Why did they buy a house nearby?"

Too much of a coincidence indeed.

Chen Yan replied, "Lord Wan's nephew ran away from home because of a quarrel with his family. He bought the house he saw a month ago and lives in it quite comfortably. Lord Zhao's son has a mistress, so he bought a house for her."

"As for the Sixth Young Master of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, I heard that he was doing some shameful things in the house there. Passers-by heard the roars of wild animals and the screams of people. The house was given to him by his parents when he turned fifteen, and it has been two years now."

The sixth son of Yong'an Marquis Mansion, Li Shihang?

Shangguan Moyu couldn't help but think of her cousin. It wouldn't be her who would implicate everyone...

No, it's impossible.

Planning requires people, but more importantly, it requires time and planning.

The person who had such a plan could not be my sixteen-year-old cousin.

Shangguanfu.

Huan Shuang pulled out a letter from her sleeve: "As you expected, the Fourth Prince wants to meet."

Shangguan Haitong took the letter and burned it after reading it.

She stood up and smiled: "Change my clothes."

"Yes." Huanshuang served.

Alone again, Shangguan Haitong went to the empty house.

The guard opened the door and raised his hand to invite you in.

Shangguan Haitong walked into the room, took off his veil and said, "What's the matter, Fourth Prince?"

Xie Qiheng poured tea leisurely, not showing any eagerness: "Miss, please."

With a faint smile, Shangguan Haitong sat down.

After pouring the tea, Xie Qiheng slowly said, "Miss, have you heard about the biggest event in the capital right now? May I ask, Miss, how would you break the situation if it were you? Now I see everyone as the mastermind, but also as if no one is behind it."

Shangguan Haitong held the tea but didn't drink it: "How could the Fourth Prince be involved in this? Could it be..."

Xie Qiheng said tentatively: "It's just to keep a few servants for fun. I really don't know anything about the weapons."

Really? If you don't know, why would you panic?

Shangguan Haitong smiled and said, "If it were just a few people, Your Highness wouldn't be so worried."

"It is indeed people, but there are too many of them." Xie Qiheng smiled, "Miss, can you help me solve my problem?"

To relieve worries? To be a scapegoat, right?

Shangguan Haitong nodded: "The Tibetans are not a problem. I don't know how many they are..."

Xie Qiheng did not answer first, but asked back: "How do you plan to hide, young lady? I can't feel at ease unless you tell me clearly."

"Four words, hiding the tree in the forest." Shangguan Haitong smiled.

Hiding trees in the forest...

Xie Qiheng exclaimed: "Wonderful. The girl is really wonderful."

Shangguan Haitong took a sip of tea and said, "Have you forgotten, Fourth Prince? The commander of the Beijing Suburban Camp is your man. He can not only help hide the people, but also train them. But the number of people should not be too large, the upper limit is fifty. What do you think, Fourth Prince?"

Fifty……

Xie Qiheng frowned: "Can't you think of another way? At least one hundred."

Shangguan Haitong shook his head: "Your Highness, fifty is the limit. Lord Wan and Lord Zhao have been implicated, and the burden of investigating the case may fall on Zhu Changji. He is responsible for patrolling the surrounding area, so it is not difficult for him to bring the person back to the camp."
