In September, I was given my clothes, and the days went by like flowing water.

The child abduction case that shocked the country has finally come to an end. Fei Lu was the mastermind from the beginning to the end.

No one among the nobles in the capital knew about the children he kidnapped one after another.

Some of them were trained in Mandarin and entered the palace or were assigned to the palaces of princes and princes. Most of them were still in Lonely Garden.

As for the prince's cousin, he accepted Fei Lu's bribe to open a salt tunnel for him to transport people.

But he didn't ask anything about what Fei Lu did, and used this to excuse himself, saying that he just thought Fei Lu was smuggling some goods.

If he had known that he was bold enough to do such a thing, he would have reported it to the court as soon as possible.

In addition, he only walked the salt road twice for Fei Lu, and he could only be convicted of accepting bribes. He was also smart, and in the end he was dismissed from office and never renewed.

Finally, the emperor personally came forward and warned the prince not to promote officials impartially and to rely on nepotism;

The situation with the Eighth Prince was even more serious. Although he had nothing to do with what Fei Lu did, he was actually in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, so it was really disappointing that such a big mistake had happened.

After the decree was issued, the eighth prince was deprived of his job in the Ministry of Punishment, and the prince was expelled to the Ministry of Works. The cleaning supervisor was asked to do such a thankless job as building river embankments and waterways. The treatment of these two people seemed to be inseparable. The crime of "knowing someone unknown";

Surprisingly, the grandson Zhou Xian and the tenth prince Zhou Yan were granted some power, and the third prince was finally released on the same day.

This practice of giving each fifty big boards and big sticks and jujubes together is also in line with the emperor's style of conduct.

At this time, Yan Taoxue had no intention of speculating on the Holy Will. After returning home that day, he carefully recalled everything that happened in Xue Mansion.

The more I studied, the more frightened I became. I was not in the mood to play pretend games with my wife. Except for going to court, I never left the door or took a step forward every day.

When he was sleeping, he claimed to be ill and refused all visitors, including disciples of the tenth prince Zhou Yan.

He was thinking about something that happened a long time ago, and there were so many things in his mind like a tangle.

There was a vague feeling in his heart. If he didn't sort it out at this time, he was afraid that he would be in disaster in the future.

Du Heng was freeing up his hands these days, planning to help his aunt take care of Sheng Yu and her mother-in-law, when Xue Feibai came to the door.

The purpose of Xue Feibai's trip was to come to her to kill someone, or someone who was not so easy to kill. Although this person had no official position, no rank, no rank, he had been walking around the capital all year round.

Because of his congenital deficiencies, he had countless thugs around him, and the secret guards and doctors were also ordered by the emperor Jinkou.

This man can also be regarded as a legend in Beijing. He was born in a family businessman and used his talent to take the family business to a higher level. However, what is more seen in Beijing is that he is carefree and indulges in drinking and sex.

This person has no intention of pursuing an official career, but he is very attentive to beauty. I heard that men and women are not taboo.

A few years ago, there were still cases of torture and murder of women, but in recent years it has become much less common.

He even made fun of Lin Zhijun twice when he met him. Lin Junyun once "fixed" him for this matter, and Concubine Long probably remembered it.

The tragic death of the Lin family was probably due to Concubine Long's handiwork.

This person is not the nephew of Imperial Concubine Long, Long Wanzong.

The emperor favored Concubine Long, and his nephew also became more and more popular.

He is also very good at business and likes extravagant concubine Long Guifei. Most of her money comes not from the Ministry of Internal Affairs but from this nephew;

If any rare treasures were collected, they would be presented to the Emperor without any pity. Every year, there were countless tributes.

This was also the reason why the emperor, who was secretive about his emotions and anger, was particularly tolerant of him.

Du Heng remembered hearing his brother say before that Long Wan Zong seemed to be engaged in a lot of shady business, and things like loan sharking were not worth mentioning.

Du Heng thought for a while and had a vague idea in his mind, but it was difficult to implement, so he made an appointment to go to the spot with Xue Feibai.

See, as long as a person only wants to do evil, there is nothing he can't think of.

"I have been avoiding Long Wanzong, but he is really too bullying..."

Just as Xue Feibai was racking his brains to make up a reason, Du Heng raised his hand to stop him:

"Although we have a cooperative relationship, I still have principles and bottom lines.

I won’t do things that touch my bottom line, and I won’t ask you why if I think it’s okay.”

Xue Feibai was so moved that his eyes filled with tears. Where could he find a partner like Du Heng who was ruthless and talkative?

No wonder he was unwilling to cooperate with me at first. If he were Du Heng, he would probably be willing to go it alone.

Having such a partner is like finding a treasure, Xue Feibai thought happily, and naturally agreed to take action with Du Heng.

***

Du Heng and Xue Feibai watched Long Wanzong for several days respectively and found that his whereabouts were extremely irregular.

In the past few days, he went to the third prince Zhou Pan for a drink, went to the tenth prince's house to congratulate him, went to the palace to deliver things to Concubine Long, and went to the outskirts of Beijing to handle business matters.

One of the places he often visited was Qinlou and Chuguan, but he was exposed to both rain and dew and never lingered in any brothel! It was really strange!

Du Heng considered himself a patient person, but when faced with someone like Long Wanzong, he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

The only way to kill him with a high chance of success is to kill him with poison, but neither she nor Xue Feibai has an insoluble poison.

Moreover, this man cherished his life very much. He knew that there were many people who wanted his life. He had to test the poison before eating, and there were doctors around him.

Just when both of them were at a loss what to do, Long Wanzong was very drunk that day. After coming out of the casino, he lost everything.

He suddenly lost his temper and kicked the servants beside him. How could those servants dare to fight back?

After being beaten violently by him in the street, only two people were left standing, and one was a trembling old doctor.

After beating the man, he seemed to be in a good mood. Long Wanzong walked to a brothel next to him, leaving only guards on the ground.

Du Heng and Xue Feibai looked at each other, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! They followed up from the other side of the brothel.

"Mom, what good stuff have you got here? Let me see... burp~"

Long Wanzong staggered in, hugged the girl casually, looked at her carefully with squinted eyes, and then threw her away in disgust.

"Hey~ Isn't this Uncle Long? What kind of wind has brought a rare visitor like you here? Come on, come on, please come in. I guarantee your satisfaction, Auntie Ying!"

When the madam in red and green saw Long Wanzong, she felt more affectionate than when she saw her own father. She immediately pushed away the guards who were supporting him and hugged him personally.

After a while, dozens of girls were called, standing in a row of ten for him to choose from.

Long Wanzong looked at the heavily made-up faces of the girls and felt depressed. His eyes were filled with the smiling peach blossom eyes of that person...

He raised his eyes inadvertently and pointed his index finger at random - "It's up to you!"
