"What? I am your husband, you don't even believe me?" Xiao Yujue gently stroked Mu Jingyan's cheek and comforted, "Don't worry, when I go to the morning court later, I will ask my confidant to plead for your brother and give him a first

Rescue from prison. As for the others... I will find a way slowly."

"good."

Mu Jingyan stopped crying. With Xiao Yujue's clear guarantee, she felt much more at ease.

She turned around to get the decorated jade pendant for Xiao Yujue. Suddenly the window swayed slightly, and a figure flashed in.

Mu Jingyan was shocked and hurriedly turned around and slapped the black shadow.

The black shadow took a few steps back, stood firm and knelt down.

"Sir, please see His Highness the Crown Prince."

Mu Jingyan looked closely and saw that the person looked familiar. "Who are you?"

"The subordinate is General Mu's secret guard, and he is ordered to investigate the whereabouts of the employer who bought the killer's silence and the food and salary."

Xiao Yujue looked at Mu Jingyan and was sure that this person was indeed Mu Jingrui's confidant, and couldn't help but feel happy.

"What did you find?"

"That day General Mu had already led his employer out and asked his subordinates to secretly follow him, but he could not alarm the snake. General Mu had told him that if something happened to him during this period, all the results of the investigation will be reported to His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Tell me quickly, what did you find? Who is the employer behind the scenes?" Mu Jingyan asked impatiently.

The secret guard bowed and replied: "The employer behind the scenes is Zheng Binghang, the second master of the Yi Yonghou Mansion."

"No wonder..." Xiao Yujue sighed secretly. Mu Jingrui should have noticed it for a long time, but he has not taken action for a long time. He should be concerned about Shangguan Wanning's feelings.

"Did you find out where Zheng Binghang hid the batch of food and weapons?"

The secret guard shook his head in disappointment. "Not sure. But his subordinates followed him for a few days and found that he was very close to the King of Qin. By the way, he would go to the villa on the outskirts of the city every other day."

Xiao Yujue was not surprised that Zheng Binghang and Xiao Zhenting got close to each other. But why did Zheng Binghang go to other places so frequently?

Could there be something else?

"Your Highness?" Mu Jingyan saw Xiao Yujue thinking and not speaking, and called out tentatively.

Xiao Yujue came back to his senses and instructed the secret guards: "Continue to monitor and find an opportunity to sneak into the Yigong Hou's Mansion to see if you can find some clues. After all, it is not easy to hide such a large number of food, pay and weapons. Safety is the most important thing.

, be careful.”

"Yes." The secret guard stepped back with his fists.

Xiao Yujue sighed heavily and turned to look at Mu Jingyan.

"The only way to save your brother is to find food, pay and weapons, and expose Zheng Binghang. But... in this way, the entire Yiyong Marquis' Mansion will inevitably be involved. At that time, if you move your whole body, you may have a bloody storm in the court.

”

"What does Your Highness mean?"

"Xiaoyan, you should know that your brother doesn't want to completely break up with the Yiyong Hou Mansion. It's best to get back the food and salary first, and then make a long-term plan."

Xiao Yujue comforted Mu Jingyan a few more words and went to the morning court.

Mu Jingyan's thoughts could not calm down for a long time. She felt uneasy whenever she thought of her brother being locked in a cell and endured hardship.

The night is slightly cool, the moon is in the sky, and the sound of insects is blowing away at night when the heat is fading.

Shangguan Wanning changed into a night-distance dress, avoided the patrol guards in the mansion, and quietly entered Zheng Binghang's study.

She found the key to the secret room in the dark compartment. Just as she was about to leave, she saw another black shadow flashing in.

Shangguan Wanning was frightened and hid under the cabinet as soon as she was shorter, and pulled the curtain to block her body.

She tried her best to calm down her heartbeat and secretly poked out a little to see.

With the bright moonlight shining in outside the window, she saw a man in black rummaging in the study, as if he was also looking for something.

Who is he?

Shangguan Wanning hid under him and didn't dare to move.

She watched helplessly as the man in black found the box containing the keys in the secret room.

Empty?

The man in black had a stiff body, as if he was a little strange. After putting down the box, he went to search for official documents.

Shangguan Wanning was a little stunned.

From the behavior of the man in black just now, it can be seen that he does not seem to have a clear goal.

What exactly is he looking for?

After a long time, the man in black seemed to have nothing to find and walked away from the window.

"If you have a thief, catch the thief..."

A shout came from the front yard, which made Shangguan Wanning come to her senses instantly.

She guessed that the thief who was discovered should be the man in black just now. She didn't dare to stay in the study room for more, so she hurriedly ran out.

Shangguan Wanning had just walked past the turn when she saw Zheng Binghang hurriedly entering the study.

She immediately changed into Ye Xingyi when she recalled what happened just now, and was still scared. She was sure that something had changed that she didn't know.

Shangguan Wanning did not dare to delay and immediately asked Lutong to issue a secret code to notify Sun Jinyao.

The matter was of great importance. She did not dare to lie to others. While the Yiyong Hou's Mansion was catching the thief, she asked Lu Tong to stay in the room instead of her. She quietly took a fast horse from the stable and slipped out in the chaos.

She rushed to the villa in the suburbs of the city, and Sun Jinyao, with a dozen strong men and several big cars, was waiting near the villa.

"Brother Yao."

Sun Jinyao came forward and helped Shangguan Wanning get off the horse.

The two walked aside, and Shangguan Wanning asked quietly: "Can these people trust them?"

"They are all unemployed refugees. After they finish the business, they will leave the capital after taking the money. They don't know anything."

"That's good."

Shangguan Wanning led everyone into the villa in the suburbs of the city and was about to go to the secret room, but was stopped by Sun Jinyao.

Sun Jinyao's expression became very serious.

"Brother Yao, what's wrong?"

"We're late." Sun Jinyao had heard some movement and looked down again.

Shangguan Wanning followed his gaze and saw the ground full of messy and noisy footprints extending to the other side of the secret room.

She hurriedly ran over and took out the key. With a "click", the door of the secret room came and a strong palm wind came towards her.

Sun Jinyao was quick-witted and pushed Shangguan Wanning away with a quick hand. He waved the folding fan in his hand and shook the attacker several steps back.

"Miss Shangguan?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

Shangguan Wanning and Xiao Yujue were both a little surprised.

Xiao Yujue signaled his subordinates to retreat, walked over and looked at Shangguan Wanning, and smiled and said, "It seems that our goals are the same. But... the goals seem to be different."

Shangguan Wanning was a little panicked. She glanced around and there were dozens of boxes in the secret room, with seals from the government sticking on it.

"I have checked it, it is the lost food, pay and weapons of the court. It seems... this time, the Mansion of the Yi Yonghou may..."

Shangguan Wanning's face was pale.
