After pretending to deal with a few small things, Feng Ye and Feng Qin went back to the post house with the things they found.

After entering the gate, Feng Qin ordered the guards and hidden guards to strictly protect the post house.Then he asked Jiang Yi to go to Feng Ye's room together, and carefully read the ledgers and letters.

The prefect of Zhihu Lake is obviously afraid of death, or he is cautious to save a way for future generations, so he wrote down all these things in detail, and it may become the key to his own or his descendants' life in the future.But I didn't expect it to become a reminder.

Afterwards, they called the prefect of Shifeng over again, and asked him to see whether the items recorded in the ledger between him and the prefect of Zhihu were true.

The prefect of Shifeng did not expect that the prefect of Zhihu could remember such details, and his face was very ugly for a while-with this record, his life might not be saved.

Feng Ye seemed to understand Shifeng's prefect's thoughts, "You are doing a crime and meritorious service, so don't worry too much. As long as you behave well, your life is safe."

After hearing this, the magistrate also felt relieved, and said: "These are indeed my contacts with Zhihu Zhifu. As for the things he gave to other people, I only heard him mention a few things, and I don't know the specifics."

Since the records of the prefect of Shifeng are correct, the records of other people must not be wrong either.

Feng Ye said: "Okay, you go down first. I'm afraid the road will not be peaceful, you just stay honest and don't run around, so as to ensure safety."

"Yes, yes." The magistrate responded and went down first.

"How do you think this matter should be handled?" Feng Qin asked.

Feng Ye looked at Jiang Yi, wanting to hear his opinion.

Jiang Yi said: "The evidence is convincing, and the Second Prince's faction can indeed be pulled down. However, if the two princes come forward, the Emperor will be happy at first, but when the matter is over, calm down, and you will inevitably feel that you are disregarding brotherhood. You may even be angry with you because this matter has not been resolved privately, and the royal reputation has been hindered with great fanfare. If it is more serious, maybe you will start to find out whether there is any calculation on your part."

"So it's best if you don't come forward for this matter. You can push this matter to the prefect of Shifeng. Let's say that he found out his conscience, repented and admitted his mistakes, and identified the whole matter. He also helped in the collection of evidence. In this way, the prefect of Shifeng has really done a crime and made meritorious service, and he can still save his life, which is a sure profit for him, and he has no reason to disagree."

"It's a good idea." Feng Ye nodded.

Feng Qin said: "Then let's do this."

After staying at Zhihu Lake for a few days, the group continued to return to Beijing.

Knowing that he had a chance to survive, the prefect of Shifeng suddenly regained his spirits, thinking all day about what to say to the Empress Dowager in order to make himself appear innocent and sincerely correct himself.Maybe when the emperor is happy, he will directly demote him as a commoner, saving him even exile.

After walking for a few days, they came to Guijin County. It was getting late, and they wanted to stay in the post house here for one night.

After dinner, everyone went to rest.Traveling is physical work, and at the end of the day, I really don't think about anything but sleep.

It was cloudy tonight, the moon and stars could not be seen, and it looked extraordinarily dark outside.The candles in the lanterns in the yard were almost burned out, and it was almost as bright as if there were no lights.

Feng Qin was sleeping soundly with Jiang Yi in his arms, when he heard a faint sound coming from the tiles on the roof.Like a cat accidentally stepping on a loose tile.

As a martial arts practitioner, Feng Qin has always been very vigilant.He woke up when he heard the sound, but didn't get up immediately.

The sound on the roof was very soft, but Feng Qin didn't believe that the "cat" would just step on the loose tiles every time.

After another soft knock, Feng Qin heard a very slight sound on the door, like the sound of paper on the window being torn.

Feng Qin instinctively held his breath, and looked at Jiang Yi carefully.Jiang Yi's breathing rate didn't change, he was obviously still asleep, and he didn't find any problems.

After a while, the lock on the inside of the door was removed from the outside, and a slight "squeak" sound indicated that someone was really plotting something wrong.

Feng Qin didn't move, just quietly watching the man in black who entered the door.There was no wax in the room, and the wind was high in the dark night, so the man in black couldn't tell if he was awake, he could only judge by breathing.

Guessing from the sound of the roof just now, this person must not have come alone, there should be accomplices, but I don't know if those accomplices are hiding somewhere and waiting for help, or they have dispersed to search elsewhere.

The man in black began to rummage around, as if looking for something.

Feng Qin guessed that he was looking for the ledger.Otherwise what could it be?silver?It looks like this person's dress doesn't look like an ordinary thief, besides, which thief would steal into the post house?

The ledger was indeed hidden with him, but it was hidden under the pillow, and the man in black obviously would not be able to find any results if he rummaged through it like this.

After searching to no avail, the man in black stared at their bed.

Feng Qin closed his eyes and only narrowed his eyes, paying attention to the actions of the man in black.

The man in black walked to the bed softly, and after making sure that they would not wake up, he stretched out his hand to Jiang Yi.

Can Feng Qin let others touch Jiang Yi?That is absolutely impossible.So when the man in black was about to touch Jiang Yi, he suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the man in black's hand.

The man in black wanted to run away when he was startled, but Feng Qin would not let him go. He immediately got out of bed and started fighting with the man in black.

Jiang Yi who heard the noise also woke up, and after seeing Feng Qin fighting with a stranger, he immediately wanted to call someone.

But before he could yell out, the prefect of Shifeng yelled "help" came from outside.

The night guards heard the sound and rushed over immediately.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man in black turned around and ran outside.

Feng Qin turned to Jiang Yi and said, "Don't go out, come and lock the door."

After finishing speaking, he chased out.

Feng Ye and Song Qi also rushed out, and the rescuers of the men in black showed up, and the courtyard was in a mess.

The martial arts of these men in black are not weak, but their ruthlessness looks like some killer organization.

The guards were inferior in martial arts, and after a while, they could only roll on the ground.

Fortunately, the three of Feng Qin's martial arts are not bad, and they can deal with them with ease.

But there are too many people on the other side, so they have no time to worry about others.

Jiang Yi hid behind the door and did not show up.He doesn't know martial arts, and in the past, he could only add to the chaos, and Feng Qin had to be distracted to protect him, so it's better to just be honest.But if you don't go, you can't go back. It's inevitable to worry. At this time, he is also very grateful for his supernatural ability, which can ensure that Feng Qin is safe.

During the fight, the prefect wailed for a while, and in a blink of an eye, a man in black took the prefect hostage.

The man in black said: "Stand back, or I'll kill him!"

Feng Qin sneered, and said, "Whatever you want!" After finishing speaking, he rushed directly to the other party.

The magistrate screamed in fright, the dagger had already stabbed a hole in his neck.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the other men in black retreated one after another, preparing to escape.

And the man in black who fought with Feng Qin couldn't escape.

At this moment, the accomplice who wanted to save the man in black rushed forward, and the dagger rushed towards Fengqin.

"Be careful!" Jiang Yi rushed over in shock.

Feng Qin dodged immediately, the dagger only avoided Feng Qin's back, but left a knife on his arm.

It was too difficult for the man in black to see the injury of Feng Qin, and the prefect Feng Qin didn't care at all, so he immediately turned his target to Jiang Yi.

Just when the black man was about to hold Jiang Yi hostage, Feng Qin jumped and threw Jiang Yi to the ground.The man in black's dagger stuck into Feng Qin's shoulder, and when he pulled it out, blood spattered everywhere.

At this time, Song Qi's sword also arrived, directly piercing the chest of the man in black.

Seeing this, the other men in black didn't come forward to rescue him, and they fled together while they were concerned about Feng Qin's injury.

Feng Qin propped up his upper body, his face turned pale, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you okay?"

Jiang Yi supported Feng Qin's waist with one hand, pressed Feng Qin's wound with the other, and said in a panic, "How are you?"

Feng Qin was in pain, but in order not to worry Jiang Yi, he still said, "It's okay, a small injury."

Feng Ye came over to help Feng Qin up, and said to Jiang Yi, "Help him heal. There is no serious injury, so it's not a big problem."

"Okay." Jiang Yi hurriedly got up, and took another look at the magistrate who was also bleeding from his neck. It seemed that the situation was not very good.In the end, he decided to help Feng Qin first.

Song Qi withdrew his sword and said, "I'll just bandage that magistrate first, he won't die for a while."

"Okay." Jiang Yi nodded, and followed Feng Ye and Feng Qin into the room.

Song Qi said to the guards: "If you are injured, go back to the room and wait for the doctor. If you can still tidy up here, strengthen your defenses. Then come and find the doctor."

"Yes." Several guards who were still able to move responded.They knew that Feng Ye attached great importance to Song Qi, so Song Qi's words must be useful.

In the room, Feng Ye asked, "Do you want me to help?"

Jiang Yi said, "No, I can do it myself."

"Okay, I'll go out and make arrangements first." Feng Ye left first after speaking.

"Can you hold on?" Jiang Yi took a pair of scissors.Cut off the clothes around Feng Qin's wound.

"It's okay." The pain is painful, but not to the point of endangering one's life.

Jiang Yi gathered the power in his hand and hung it on the wound.

The itch from the healing wound made Feng Qin tremble instinctively, but he couldn't scratch.

After a while, the wound healed and the pain was gone.Only then did Feng Qin regain his energy, and he hugged Jiang Yi and sat on his lap, "How can I thank you? How about a promise from my body?"

Jiang Yi wanted to stand up, but was held here by Feng Qin, so he couldn't get up at all, "Who made a promise with you. Let go, I'll go and see the magistrate."

"Why don't you need it, I'm so sincere." Feng Qin laughed.

"Hurry up and go to bed and lie down. I'll ask Song Qi to make you some side medicine. After all, you're injured, and you'll have to rely on him for the recovery," Jiang Yi said.He was indeed frightened just now, but Feng Qin didn't seem to be so worried after making such a fuss.

Feng Qin didn't let go, held Jiang Yi's hand, and said softly, "Stay with me for a while."

Since he couldn't go out for the time being, Jiang Yi simply relaxed and leaned against Feng Qin.It doesn't feel good to be woken up suddenly in the middle of the night, but in this situation, he is sleepy but unable to sleep, which is also a bit uncomfortable.

"The people who entered our house used incense, but you were not overwhelmed." Feng Qin laughed.When he went out, he saw a half-burned incense stick on the ground.Looking at the elder brother and Song Qi, no one entered, maybe they knew that the loss outweighed the gain, so they decided not to go.As for the magistrate, it should have never been used, and he probably wanted to keep it for questioning.

"I'm immune to this kind of thing, so I'm fine. You should wake me up earlier." Jiang Yi said.

Feng Qin squeezed his hand, "You are not a martial artist, and you cannot control your breathing. So if you wake up, the other party will know."

Jiang Yi nodded, "What are these people here for? Account books? Letters?"

Feng Qin said: "It should be. The man rummaged through the room after entering the room, but he couldn't find it before walking to the bed. Probably because of this."

"The other party must have come prepared, and their martial arts are very high, and they want to retreat together. From this point of view, it looks more like a gangster." Jiang Yi analyzed.

"It should be. Ask Song Qi about the details tomorrow. This has made everyone quite tired. Let's rest after work."

"Ah."

After hugging for a while, Jiang Yi went to visit the magistrate.The magistrate had already fallen asleep. Although the wound had been bandaged briefly, it was obviously not effective. Song Qi added sleeping ingredients to his decoction, and he was fast asleep right now.

Jiang Yi asked Song Qi to prescribe a prescription for Feng Qin, and he used his supernatural power to heal the magistrate's wound.Compared with Song Qi's life-threatening injury last time, Feng Qin and Zhifu's injuries were considered very light, so although they were tired after healing, they were not so tired that they would fall asleep immediately.

Seeing that the magistrate was fine, Feng Ye said: "You should go back and rest quickly. I will let someone protect the magistrate in the house."

"Okay, then I'll go back first."

Back in his room, You Xing was holding the pharmacy written by Song Qi, ready to go to the pharmacy next to the post house to buy medicine.The doctor there was invited over, and someone must be waiting in the pharmacy at this time.

Seeing Jiang Yi coming back, Song Qi smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a simple recuperation."

Jiang Yi: "Okay. You should go back to rest early, and we'll talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do."

"Okay." Song Qi agreed, and went back first.

The medicine will last for a while, Feng Qin has already changed his clothes, and dragged Jiang Yi to the bedside.

"Go to bed first, Youxing will call me when the medicine is ready." Feng Qin said.

Jiang Yi was indeed tired, so he washed his hands in the basin at the end of the bed, and went to bed.

Feng Qin put his arms around him, once again lamented the blessings of the heavens, and thought that when he returned to Beijing, he must go to the Buddhist temple to burn incense.

The night attack obviously proved that this place was not safe, but considering the variables on the road and the injuries of the guards, they decided to stay here for a few more days.And let people rush back to the palace to deliver the letter, asking the emperor to send some more people to protect and support.

Asking for help in a timely manner can make the emperor pay attention to this matter, and it will also help the strict investigation later.

After the magistrate woke up, he was even more sure that the second prince wanted to kill him to silence him, and he became more determined to bring down the second prince. If the second prince was unkind first, don't blame him for being unrighteous.

There is not much distance from here to the middle of Beijing. Three days later, Xu Lin was ordered to bring people to protect Feng Qin and the others back to Beijing.

"Uncle." Feng Qin greeted him, smiled and called out.

Xu Lin sized him up, then patted him on the shoulder, "How is it? Are you injured?"

Feng Qin said: "Small injury, it's fine now. Uncle came sooner."

"When I heard that you were attacked, your mother, concubine and grandfather were in a hurry. I rushed here day and night, and I was relieved to see that you were fine." Xu Lin was also really relieved, and planned to write a letter back later, so that his father And sister don't worry.

"Let uncle worry about it." Feng Qin said: "Go in first. Brother is setting up defenses, so I didn't hear you coming."

"It's okay." Xu Lin followed Feng Qin into the post house, and the accompanying guards were also arranged by the post house steward.

After seeing Feng Ye, Jiang Yi and Song Qi also gave medicine to the injured guard and came back.

"Uncle." Jiang Yi saluted.

"Hello General Zhengqi." Song Qi cupped his fists.

Xu Lin nodded to Jiang Yi, then looked at Xu Lin, "Shouldn't you be calling after Feng Ye?"

A layer of red appeared on Song Qi's fair face.

Xu Lin was still waiting there.

Song Qi saluted again and called "Uncle", and Xu Lin was satisfied.

Feng Ye and Feng Qin told Xu Lin everything about this period of time.

Xu Lin said: "I will send more people to protect the magistrate. You should also pay attention to safety. We will return to Beijing in three days."

"it is good."

Three days later, the group returned to the capital.Maybe it was due to increased human protection, the other party did not show up again, but they arrived in the capital smoothly.

After entering Beijing, Feng Ye, Feng Qin and Xu Lin brought the magistrate and evidence to the palace to face the saint.He denounced the second prince with the prefect's famous words, while Feng Ye and Feng Qin only took on the role of escorts, picking themselves up completely.

The emperor Longyan was furious, and immediately sent someone to investigate, but the second prince did not startle the snake, and it would not be too late to ask in the morning.The magistrate was also imprisoned in Dali Temple for a while, and if he is convicted in the future, he will be dealt with lightly according to this exposure.

After leaving the imperial study room, the first thing Feng Ye and Feng Qin did was to pay their respects to the concubine mother.

Xu Lin didn't hand in the paperwork in advance, so he couldn't enter the harem, so he left first.
