Chapter 675 Secret

After saying that, he snatched the bowl from Liu Ji's hand, not even bothering to use chopsticks, and shoveled food into his mouth frantically with his hands.

He swallowed it without chewing it, and only slowed down when the gnawing and itching in his stomach eased.

"Give him a bowl of soup." Qin Yao hurriedly instructed, fearing that someone would choke to death in his own home.

Yin Le nodded to show that he understood, and took the person to the dining table nearby, where he was served delicious dishes, soups and snacks.

Qin Yao and his wife returned to the main seat, Qin Yao sat and Liu Ji stood.

"Madam, what did he say?" Liu Ji asked curiously. Wusheng spoke too fast just now, so he didn't hear clearly.

I only vaguely heard something like "abusing power for personal gain" and "seizing a large amount of land and houses of retainers".

But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already above everyone else and second only to one man, so does he still need to seize the land and houses of his retainers?

So, who is this person? Liu Ji was so anxious that he was scratching his head. If he couldn't get the secret today, he would stay awake until dawn.

Fortunately, his wife still doted on him and beckoned him to come closer.

Qin Yao whispered something in Liu Ji's ear, and Liu Ji opened his eyes wide and almost screamed out in surprise.

But he reacted in time, covered his mouth with his hands, and paced back and forth in the hall excitedly.

This is incredible, it turns out to be Prince Feng.

The secret that the martial artist heard was that Prince Feng abused his power for personal gain and bought the land and houses of his retainers and officials on his fiefdom at a price far below the market price.

It is said that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten, but in fact, neither of them is willing at all, and is only forced by the power of King Feng.

The younger generation of the official who was bought was dissatisfied and made some remarks in the street. As a result, he was exiled and died on the road.

This matter originally happened only in the fiefdom. With King Feng's means, as long as it was blocked in time, it would not be able to be spread out at all.

but!

It just happened to come out!

The imperial teacher suppressed the news and took it into the palace to discuss with the crown prince whether to suppress the impeachment news.

After all, Prince Feng still supports the Eastern Palace on the surface, and is a sharp sword against the Princess's Mansion.

Moreover, in the past few years, many of the princes of the Baili family have died or been demoted. Among the princes who maintain the royal orthodoxy, only Prince Feng is left who can make a difference.

For the sake of his country's future, the prince chose to suppress the news temporarily.

On that day, the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace was hosting a banquet at her residence, inviting young ladies from all over the capital to admire the peach blossoms and watch plays.

After the performance, the martial artist passed by the alley behind the prince's study and happened to overhear the Imperial Preceptor and the Crown Prince discussing Prince Feng's purchase of the land and houses of his subordinates and retainers at a low price.

Then they were discovered, and all the Black Cavalry of the East Palace were dispatched. On the surface, they said that there was an assassin, but in order to ensure the safety of the young ladies from each family, they personally escorted the young ladies back to their homes, but in fact it was a screening.

In secret, all the servants and maids who were active near the study at that time were taken to the dungeon and severely tortured.

It was soon discovered that one person was missing from the troupe, and as a result, the entire troupe died in the dungeon because of the martial artist's escape.

"Since you escaped, why did you come back?" Qin Yao asked puzzled.

Wusheng was busy eating. It took him a long while to react. He swallowed the food with difficulty and said in a hoarse voice:

"The class leader and others died because of me. I have no relatives or friends in this world anymore. I want to come back and expose this matter, and die together with the Crown Prince's Imperial Preceptor!"

Although the words were harsh, tears of regret fell on his face. "If I had known this would happen, I should have feared death and taken the blame alone, and would not have harmed the class owner and the others."

Liu Ji looked at him crying and handed him a handkerchief, "Wipe your tears, eat well so you can go on your journey."

Takeo: “???”

That's right, they will send him to the Beijing government office tomorrow. He only hopes that the "honest judge" mentioned by the boss, Lord Lu, the Jingzhao Yin, is really the honest judge of the people.

Otherwise, even if they protected each other, he would not be able to escape death.

Liu Ji did not miss the hope that flashed in Wusheng's eyes, and he felt even more sorry for the man.

Knowing this secret, he would die if he told it or not.

etc!

Liu Ji suddenly thought of something, his eyes were filled with fear, and he didn't have the time to tease Wusheng anymore. He quickly returned to Qin Yao and asked in a low voice:

"My lady, if Wusheng says that he has revealed the secret, we will be unable to defend ourselves! Will the black cavalry under the prince capture us and silence us as well?"

Even if Wusheng refuses to admit that he has told the secret, people still fear suspicion the most.

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, and the roots are eradicated, wouldn't their family of eight be...

"It's over!"

"It's over!"

Liu Ji slumped down on the armchair, touched the armrest, looked at the magnificent decoration in the hall, and thought about his bright future. Was all this going to leave him?

"Madam." Liu Ji came closer again, staring at the crying Wusheng warily, and said, "Let's hand him over to the national teacher and replace the teacher. What do you think?

Qin Yao was silent for a long time, and was also depressed by her reckless behavior of carrying the person into the house.

As expected, you can’t pick up men on the street!

This time, he picked up something that actually caused a big trouble.

The best solution now is to kill the person and cover it up, and pretend that what happened tonight never happened.

Maybe he sensed the murderous aura, but Wusheng stopped crying and slowly turned his head to look at the couple.

"Madam, are you not going to send me to the Jingzhao government office?" Wusheng asked vigilantly.

The couple did not reply, and the silence was suffocating.

Wusheng curled his lips and sneered, "In this world where everyone protects themselves and only cares about themselves, watching injustices happen before their eyes but watching coldly, it seems that there is no such thing as justice!"

He picked up the soup bowl, drank the last mouthful of soup, wiped his mouth, and stood up suddenly with an upright posture.

The martial artist raised his neck high, as if he wanted to trample these indifferent spectators under his feet.

He said, "I am full, madam, please do your work."

Awang immediately looked at Qin Yao, and if she said so, he would not hesitate to take action.

After all, as the master said, none of these people are upright people, and the most important thing is to protect themselves when encountering things.

Yin Le frowned deeply and walked quickly to Qin Yao, "Master? Do you really want it?"

She always believed that her master was definitely not the kind of person who would stand by and watch indifferently and not care about justice as Wu Sheng said.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be reborn from the ashes today!

Qin Yao met Yin Le's determined gaze, there was light in those eyes. She was different from them. Even though she had been deep in darkness, she still believed that there would be light in this world.

But in Yin Le's eyes, her master is her light.

Yin Le's confidence in herself made Qin Yao feel a little insecure - she was really not as good as she thought.

"Get started!" Wusheng shouted.

The sooner you die, the sooner you will be reborn. What’s the point of keeping people hanging!

Qin Yao glared at Wu Sheng unhappily, "You're lucky to have met me."

Yin Le was overjoyed, "Master!" She knew that she had not trusted the wrong person.

Qin Yao slapped the overjoyed Yin Le on the forehead and said, "What are you laughing at? Go, tie him up and gag him."

"Okay!" Yin Le didn't ask why, he just did what his master said.
