The old house of Wen family in the capital.

Zhu Xiaochang knelt in front of the desk, his face full of a lonely look. Wen Changjin looked up at Zhu Xiaochang, stood up and helped Zhu Xiaochang up.

"Get up, this time I changed the topic of the policy theory temporarily. Your Majesty's intention is to implement the new policy. Your response does not go to Your Majesty's intention. Even if the article is beautiful, it will not be appropriate for the title. Get up quickly."

Zhu Xiaochang's face showed even more ashamed.

"I was careless. I should have thought that it was because of the new policy of Tongzhou. I just thought that maybe His Majesty wanted to suppress it, so I insisted on the original farming strategy."

Wen Changjin waved his hand, "First take a good rest first. In two days, I will send you to Fuzhou and do some things there. Even if you want to participate in the imperial examination, it will be three years later. You can't waste it now. If you make achievements, it will pave the way for your subsequent palace examinations."

Zhu Xiaochang was quite moved. Although the people outside the Gongyuan did not dare to say anything in person, they must be watching the fun in their hearts and must be laughing at him. Only the grandfather is sincerely caring for him.

"Then Xiaochang did not disturb his grandfather's rest and took his leave first and rushed to Fuzhou in two days."

Wen Changjin nodded and patted Zhu Xiaochang on the shoulder with a smile.

"Go and have a good rest, don't think about anything. This was originally intended for the Wen family and you. It is not necessarily a bad thing to suffer more setbacks in your youth. As long as you sleep on firewood and taste gall, you will eventually realize your dream."

The decadence on Zhu Xiaochang's face dissipated, he saluted Wen Changjin, and then left.

Seeing that someone disappeared at the gate of the yard, Wen Changjin's face suddenly became gloomy and he waved his hand to the side.

In an instant, several black shadows floated, falling in front of Wen Changjin like dead leaves. The old butler walked over quickly, bowing his body and not daring to look up at all.

Wen Changjin didn't say anything and went straight into the room.

The old butler followed closely behind, and those people followed in. In an instant, people knelt on the ground in the study. The old butler could not control his body's trembling. The fear deep in his heart made him breathe a little unstable.

"Master, it's all old slaves who are not good at doing things and have revealed their flaws. Otherwise, they wouldn't have found out the corruption case in Jinan Prefecture last year and ask the master for punishment."

Wen Changjin waved his hand and signaled the old housekeeper to stand up. The blacks subconsciously tightened their bodies, but they didn't dare to change their movements.

"It's really not worth letting Bai Qingyun escape. There were not many remnants of the previous dynasty. She probably didn't know that she was a member of the Xiao family, but don't do it for the time being, everyone should be cleaned to avoid being exposed."

The men in black all said that, one of them moved forward and bowed and said:

"Master, the left guardian in the palace is dead. It is said that he has survived seventy punishments and has not survived the last two levels. However, except for what we know, I have no more explanation."

Wen Changjin nodded and wiped the corners of his lips with a veil. It seemed that he could still smell the smell of an old eunuch on his lips.

"When the news is released, there are no people left. If these people know that the old guy is dead, they will definitely bet on it. Anyway, the descendants of the Xiao family can't find it, and they don't know that the girl is the Xiao family.

Just let him die with a secret. He thought I had already killed the last blood of the Xiao family. Oh, by the way, remember that the body needs to be checked. This old guy was too cunning and almost framed by him back then. Hei Feng did this himself."

The man called Black Wind quickly said yes, thought for a while and stopped moving.

Wen Changjin waved his hand, and the other men in black retreated, leaving only the old butler and the man named Heifeng. When the door was closed, the old butler also stood at the door and looked outside. Only then did the person bow down again.

"The factory guards did not seem to have stopped pursuing them. In order to release Bai Qingyun, Uncle Zhongyuan seemed to have had a secret talk with the dog emperor, but no one knew the content. Later, he rescued people and Fang Hua, who was very close to Uncle Zhongyuan, went to the factory guards again."

Wen Changjin frowned slightly, leaned forward, and looked at Heifeng with his hands supporting his knees.

"But what did you say?"

Heifeng shook his head, "There are many experts in the factory guards. This is also the news from Heiyan. He almost succeeded this time, but it also aroused Fang Jizhong's suspicion. He did not let Heiyan intervene in the matter arranged later. Fang Jizhong also said that Heiyan would not call him godfather in the future."

Wen Changjin snorted, "Baoshi, I can't do such a little thing well, what's the point of asking him to do?"

Heifeng quickly knelt on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Forgive me, Master, Heiyan is not good at killing people directly. But logically speaking, Bai Qingyun was troubled by this and used the black gold poison that he gave to the eldest prince back then. He definitely lived for half a month, but there was no news for the past few days.

I heard that early this morning, Zhongyuan Bo went to Tongzhou to open a semicolon and helped Liu Renli build the road. It was estimated that it would take a long time to go there, so he also took Bai Qingyun."

Wen Changjin narrowed his eyes and the old emperor changed the question temporarily, which was a warning to the Wen family and even kept Zhu Xiaochang away from the court.

He had long thought of such an arrangement, but the more he did, the less he was worried.

Because only by punishing yourself is a kind of trust in yourself. If you do nothing, it will make people uneasy. At most, you will be fined for one year. However, Bai Qingyun was protected in Huichun Hall without any leakage. The identity of the princess of the previous dynasty made him really worried.

"Since I've been to Tongzhou, I think the factory guards have not sent many experts, right?"

Heifeng nodded, "I heard from Heiyan that all the factory guards all started to verify the officials in various courts. They were just routine and sent six people to follow him. One was probably following Bai Qingyun, and the other wanted to know Zhou Heng and the others at any time."

Wen Changjin didn't rush to speak, thought for a while, and looked at the old butler.

"Don't contact Heiyan for the time being. Since he is suspected, the contact may reveal our whereabouts now. If you take people there in person this time, the medicine under Heiyan may not be reliable. Zhou Heng's medical skills are indeed too powerful. He is not Liu Renjie of the past.

Although this black gold poison has been stored for many years, I am always afraid that it will be unstable. No matter what method you use, even if you use some people, you will still kill her. I want her to be Bai Qingyun forever, otherwise those old guys who return to the mountain will definitely not support us."

Heifeng quickly knelt down when he heard this, with a decisive expression on his face.

"Don't worry, Master, Heifeng will kill this person even if he takes his life. Heifeng will leave for the time being."

After Yan Bi Heifeng stood up, opened the door and disappeared into the night. The old butler stood in front of the door and looked at it. Then he closed the door and returned to Wen Changjin, standing with his hands down.

Wen Changjin sighed, raised his head and closed his eyes and raised his hand to rub his eyebrows.

"Is there any news from the third brother?"

The old housekeeper hurriedly approached, "The third master said that all the old people on Yingzhou are safe, and the Sichuan area has been arranged. Even if the master makes it, the money and corresponding things are all ready, and they will be shipped to Changping in batches within half a month."

Wen Changjin sighed, his figure seemed to be a little hunched, and his face was exhausted.

"I think that the emperor's health is getting worse day by day. If you wait patiently, you can get the prince to the throne in one or two years, so we still have to endure it. Don't reply to the second prince for the time being.

If we really take action, the veterans in the court will not sit idly by, especially if King Ning is the first to stand up, we are not sure that the affairs of the eldest prince cannot be repeated."

The old butler nodded. He understood what Wen Changjin meant. If he had taken action at this time, he would not have been sure of it, and he would not have been justified. It would be safe to support the prince as a backup option.

"Young Master Xiaochang seems to understand what the master means. He is eager to participate in the imperial examination, and even more so that he can get the master's approval."

Wen Changjin waved his hand, "This kid still needs to be tempered. Although he is more talented than the eldest prince, he is also very ambitious. If I really help him to the throne, it would be fine if I am alive. If one day I pass away, the first unlucky person will be the descendants of the Wen family."

The old housekeeper was speechless. Wen Changjin was not worried about nothingness, but that it was absolutely possible. You can see from the means of dealing with the maids around him.

"The old slave has nothing to say, but did the emperor really want to let the prince succeed to the throne?"

Wen Changjin smiled, and this strange smile appeared on his gloomy face, which made people creepy.

"What should be prepared is already ready. If we really want to attack the Wen family this time, there is nothing to say. We are justified in supporting the prince to succeed to the throne. The imperial edict for succession has been hidden."

The old butler paused. Obviously, these were not controlled by him. He was shocked. It seemed that he had asked what he shouldn't have asked, so he quickly bowed and bowed.

"I'm so arrogant, so I'll arrange for Mr. Xiaochang to travel south."

Wen Changjin nodded and signaled him to retreat. The door was closed again before he stood up and walked towards the study.

A bottle on the bookcase twisted, and with a crunch, the bookcase started to move.

A secret passage appeared in front of me, slowly walked down, twisting a candlestick on the wall, the hidden door of the bookcase had been closed, a candle was lit, and I held it up and slowly walked downwards.

The passage was very long. After walking for a long time, it seemed that there was wind in the passage. I raised my hand to block the candle, walked to another door, took out the key, opened the door lock, and a strong smell was emitted in a huge secret room.

Putting the candle on one side, covering her mouth and nose, and looking at a corner, a man slowly raised his head, and as he moved, the sound of iron chains colliding sounded.

Wen Changjin smiled and glanced at the food box that had not been moved.

"It seems you have heard that your daughter is not dead. Are you very happy that you didn't eat even if you were so happy?"

The man stared at Wen Changjin, his eyes as if he was hungry, but he didn't say anything, but just made a whimpering sound.

Wen Changjin covered his mouth, as if he was a little surprised. He walked closer and pulled the chain. Then the man turned to Wen Changjin and fell straight down. However, he could see clearly that the underside of the robe was empty and there were no legs, as if he had disappeared from under the hips.

"I forgot that your mute hole was sealed and I couldn't shout, right? Well, I admit that it was me who sent someone to kill her, and she was poisoned by me like you. Although she is not dead now, she is not far from death.

Do you remember Black Rock?”

The man's eyelids shook and raised his head in an instant. The name seemed to directly evoke some of his memories.

"It seems that I still remember that the black rock you raised, I asked him to whip your daughter with a thorn. The iron thorns were all soaked in the black gold poison, and the whole back was covered with whips. I think she was not so lucky to cut off her legs and survive, right?

Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk, I must have felt very wonderful when I was raised by the wolf cub, and I didn’t agree to let Heiyan enter the factory guard back then, but I think this is an opportunity. I was so loyal to you back then, but how did you treat me?"

Wen Changjin looked at the man with a smile, raised his hand and poked him a few times. The man seemed to have breathed smoothly. After being thrown away by Wen Changjin, he leaned on the ground and kept gasping.

The man got up with great effort, "It makes you so excited, and even came to me to tell you this. It was nothing more than failure. He was so angry that he wanted me to be anxious."

This sentence hit the vital point. Wen Changjin bared his teeth and showed a fierce look. He grabbed the man's collar and forced a face full of scars to lift it up.

The eyes seemed to be about to crack, staring at Wen Changjin, but there was still a smile on his lips, and the smile seemed to be the biggest irony.

"Don't look at me with this gaze. You actually wanted to kill me back then. You think I was too ambitious. At that time, my daughter was discussing marriage with the eldest prince. At this time, you actually asked Heifeng and the others to kill me. I naturally had to fight back in order to survive. Your only flaw was that Heifeng was already my person, right?

I think if you caught me back then, I would probably be more cruel than my methods. We, the Wen family, would not have been left behind. I just didn't expect that Wu Laoqi could even fight his life to carry the last princess of your Xiao family and run away. He is really loyal!

Now, Wu Laoqi is dead. I am afraid your daughter doesn’t know her life experience, but don’t worry, I won’t let her live.

The identity of the remnants of the previous dynasty, whether I or the factory guards, would want to catch her, and even the old people from Yingzhou and Sichuan Province wanted to use it."

The man raised his head and smirked.

"Daughter? It's good if you die, the Xiao family has no worries. In this life, the things we have to bear are too heavy. In the next life, we can be healthy even if we live in an ordinary family."

The man's expression was extremely calm, but this expression made Wen Changjin very angry, as if he punched the cotton, and Wen Changjin stomped his feet.

"All the Xiao family owns is in my hands. It is impossible to rebel against Liang and Wei, but I can let these people follow the prince and support the prince to throne, at least not let them live like mice in the darkness and walk in the passages all over the underworld."

The man's chest was even more violent, obviously he was so angry that he could not control his emotions.

"Haha, it's not impossible to get the throne, but you want to get the support of Yingzhou and Sichuan. Without my Xiao family, how can you mobilize it?"

Wen Changjin squatted down, all the unhappiness and annoyance just now disappeared, staring at the man's eyes, admiring the scars on his face, and then slowly said:

"My third son Wen Tianfeng and your daughter were born one day. At that time, you hid from the court and took my Tianfeng to the rally. There was a birthmark like a geese on my son Tianfeng's arm. Maybe you didn't pay attention, but many people who attended had memories.

Speaking of this, I really want to thank you for making me less talkative. After that, the prince will take office. The court will be my Wen Changjin’s one-man show. If you deal with these Zhu family members, once the time is ripe, I will let Tianfeng represent the Xiao family.”

The man was holding the ground and yelling to climb over. He was out of control and hadn't seen this for many years.

Wen Changjin seemed to be feeling a little more relaxed. His chubby body turned, rushed to the man flexibly, raised his hand and poked him a few places, and the roar stopped abruptly in an instant.
