This incident caused an uproar in the capital, and the people were outraged. The emperor followed public opinion and ordered the case to be solved within ten days.

The announcement of the results of the imperial examination, originally scheduled for mid-March, was postponed due to this incident and is now scheduled for the end of March.

It didn't take much trouble to get to the bottom of the case. The inside of the villa was thoroughly searched, and naturally the account books and Buddhist scriptures that had been put back were found. In addition, they also found correspondence between the manager and the person behind the scenes in the villa, and the final finger of blame was pointed at the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.

There are still many doubts, such as why they were so bold as to kidnap a centurion in broad daylight, and the masked man did not seem to be from Youhe, so why did he bring Fuyin to Youhe.

As a victim and a witness, Fu Yin only said what he could, such as how he fell into a coma, how he discovered the trick here after waking up, and how he tried every possible way to save himself.

All the people who could prove his claims are dead. There is no evidence to prove his claims, so he can say whatever he wants.

Some officials investigating the case suspected that Fuyin had killed the people in Youhe. After the coroner's examination, it was found that all these people died of suicide - they died by hanging their necks, not homicide.

No matter how bizarre the incident was, Fu Yin, as a victim and witness who had made great contributions, finally escaped unscathed.

On the night when Shangguan Yi was arrested by the Dali Temple, Shen Huaixu felt extremely relaxed both physically and mentally.

After finding out about Youhe and knowing that the person behind it was Shangguan Yi, she wanted to use Fu Yin's disappearance to expose the matter.

The method of shifting the blame is a bit dirty, but it works.

Shangguan Yi created Youhe. To put it simply, it was for gold and silver. To put it more broadly, the people who came out of Youhe were placed in the backyards of officials. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was forming a clique for personal gain.

In short, this time not only Shangguan Yi, but the entire Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion cannot escape.

There are also the monks of Baiyun Temple. They know everything that happens in the villa. The reason why they never tell anyone is, firstly, because of the power of Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, and secondly, the bald monks can also go to Youhe to have fun. For this reason, they even help the evil and help Youhe choose prey.

All these evil deeds are appalling.

"Fuyin, how did you make those people commit suicide?"

Shen Huaixu was very curious about this.

She was worried that the people in Youhe would say something they shouldn't. Before Fu Yin left, he just said that he would handle the matter and asked her not to worry. So she let him go, believing that nothing would cause too much trouble.

Unexpectedly, his method was to make them commit suicide.

After Fu Yin was cleared of suspicion, he returned to his house in Changlefang. When living alone, he still liked to rest in the space.

"It's just mental control." He described it lazily, his eyes slightly narrowed, like a lazy big cat, but without the arrogance of a cat. He patiently explained, "It's a higher level of mental attack. Few people in the tribe can control it freely. I have only recently mastered it. Because it is too toxic, the tribe leader will not let us use it easily. Shen Huaixu, you are really lucky to have me by your side."

Chen Huaixu held the little tabby cat in his arms and pinched its ears, causing the usually flattering cat to meow coquettishly.

"Yes, yes, I am so happy every day when you are by my side." She admitted perfunctorily.

Hearing the perfunctory tone in her words, Fu Yin snorted in dissatisfaction.

Chen Huaixu pretended not to hear, "It's no exaggeration to say that you are a humanoid killing weapon. From now on, if you face a mental breakdown, you must enter the space immediately."

"Got it." Fu Yin pinched his earlobe, pretending to be indifferent. "The person who ordered me to go to the palace tomorrow, are you free tomorrow?"

Hearing this, Shen Huaixu couldn't help but worry. Fuyin didn't agree with the idea of ​​'imperial supremacy', and his knees wouldn't bend so easily. If he entered the palace and offended the emperor...

"You know what to do after you meet the Emperor, right?"

Fu Yin was silent for a moment, then said reluctantly, "I know."

"That······"

"I'll bear with it."

Shen Huaixu continued to test, "What if you can't bear it?"

Fu Yin fell silent again, then suddenly smiled evilly and said in a dangerous tone, "I'll kill him, and you can take the throne of the emperor."

Shen Huaixu's heartbeat suddenly slowed down, and he felt a little hot in his ears. He lowered his eyes and stroked the little cat that was about to fall asleep, "... Thank you. The old man has a good temper. You are polite and considerate. Don't say anything unpleasant. He won't force you to rebel."

As if he had heard it and yet not, Fu Yin said "hmm" as if he didn't care, and then asked again: "You won't be going to the palace tomorrow?"

Shen Huaixu said unhappily, "Do you think the palace is my backyard? I don't want to go there even if there's nothing wrong. There are too many rules."

"Oh." Fu Yin said with a disappointed tone, "If you could accompany me, I could perform better."

Knowing that he was pretending to be pitiful, Shen Huaixu ignored him.

The next day.

Fu Yin entered the palace early in the morning. He had promised Chen Huaixu last night that he would be very considerate in all etiquette after entering the palace today, but his expressionless face showed no joy or anger.

Chen Huaixu went to the Prince's Mansion to find Chaohua early in the morning, and on the way he ran into Cangheng, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

After a brief greeting between the two, Cang Heng left in a hurry.

For some reason, Chen Huaixu felt that Cang Heng seemed to have changed a little, but because he had something on his mind, he didn't think about it too much.

Arriving at the courtyard where Chao Hua lived, Shen Huaixu discovered that she was about to go out. "Are you planning to go out?"

Zhao Hua, who was adjusting her clothes, heard Chen Huaixu's voice and asked in surprise, "A Xu, why are you here?"

After saying that, he remembered to answer Shen Huaixu's question, "I want to go to the palace to visit my grandmother. How about you accompany me?"

Seeing that she looked very healthy and her cheeks were rosy, Shen Huaixu vaguely guessed the purpose of her entering the palace.

She thought about it and agreed.

The two of them rode in the same carriage, and Shen Huaixu asked about Shangguan Ruoyan. After the Shangguan family took Shangguan Ruoyan away from the clinic, they never heard any news about Shangguan Ruoyan again.

The clinic said that Shangguan Ruoyan not only broke her leg, but also suffered serious internal injuries.

"You've asked the right person." Chao Hua's eyes sparkled as he spoke of this. "Shangguan Ruoyan really brought this upon herself. She was hit by a mad horse and was badly injured. She hasn't woken up yet. By the way, how did you end up at the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion? And how did they let you in so easily?"

Chen Huaixu told her about the second young lady of the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion, and Chaohua suddenly realized, "So it's her. She really has the confidence. You may not know that the Shu family has a red-lettered iron certificate awarded by the emperor's grandfather. Her grandfather made great contributions to stabilizing the previous dynasty's officials in the early days of the founding of the dynasty, but later resigned and returned home, away from the court. Her father was not as talented as her grandfather, but he was diligent and considered a good official."

She suddenly leaned close to Jiang Huaixu and said mysteriously, "By the way, the Second Young Master's wife took advantage of the chaos in the Shangguan family a few days ago and went back to her parents' home. Isn't that a coincidence?"

The two smiled at each other and said thoughtfully, "It seems that this Second Young Master's wife is a smart one."
