Creak! The wooden door slowly opened, revealing an old face full of wrinkles.

The moment he saw Sun He, he wanted to close the door, but it was blocked tightly.

Sun He showed his token and said sternly, "The Dali Temple is investigating the case. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!"

Then, a sword was placed on the old man's neck. The old man's face was pale and he had no choice but to let the group of people enter the house.

In the small courtyard, there was a wooden table and a few wooden chairs, and the tea served had a strange smell.

The old man stood respectfully in front of the group of people, trembling with fear and his face slightly pale.

"You are Tang Yun, right? The former owner of Tang's Pawn Shop?"

"My name is Tang Yun, but the pawnshop under my name has long since closed down due to increasing losses. I don't know what the officials are looking for me for."

Tang Yun forced a smile, but it looked uglier than crying. After he finished speaking, Sun He sneered.

"Losing money day by day? But I heard that pawnshops are places where officials in the court launder money, and you, the shopkeeper, are so rich that you even built a house with five entrances and five exits?"

...

...

Tapping his fingers on the table, Sun He said slowly, "But later on, the officials were worried about being exposed, so they withdrew their investment and ran away. Although Tang's Pawnshop closed down immediately, it still maintained contact with the officials and did some shady things."

After he finished speaking, Tang Yun's face turned deathly pale. He wanted to escape but didn't dare to, after all, there was a shiny knife across his neck.

Finally, his legs and feet went limp and he knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

"Gentlemen, please let me go. Those officials kidnapped my wife and children and ordered me not to say anything!"

Hearing him crying, Sun He was not fooled, and said calmly, "I know that you have been lying, and I have already found out that your wife and child died a year ago."

"And you continued to secretly communicate with those officials in order to secretly collect evidence, just waiting for the day when you can avenge your dead relatives."

Sun He spoke word by word, and Tang Yun's eyes became redder and redder, but he quickly adjusted himself.

He sniffed and tried to force out a smile, "Sir, what are you talking about? I don't understand. I work wholeheartedly for you, sir, and I don't understand revenge! As long as I can serve you well, I will be satisfied!"

"Don't act in front of me. I'm not here to kill you. I'm here to investigate the case and collect some evidence so that I can convict the corrupt officials who committed the crime and remove their official hats to help you avenge yourself!"

"As long as you hand over the evidence to me, you can get your revenge, and I will find a way to protect you."

Sun He swore to the sky that what he said was from the bottom of his heart. Seeing that he did not seem to be lying, Tang Yun finally let down his guard a little.

Tears began to glisten in his eyes, and he knelt down again with a plop.

"Sir, my Lord, I have finally seen you! To be honest, my wife and children were beaten to death by evil men a year ago. I had no hope of seeking justice and could only pretend to be compliant, becoming their accomplice..."

"Old man, please stand up quickly!" The bodyguards at the side stepped forward and carefully helped the man up. "Give us the evidence, and we will help you punish the evildoers. We know that dealing with evildoers is not what you want."

"Okay, okay, okay, the evidence is here, here!"

Tang Yun rummaged in his arms, took out an envelope with trembling hands, and handed it to Sun He with both hands.

Sun He took it and looked at it. It turned out to be a list with the names of many officials in the court and a lot of money written on it.

"The people on the list are all officials involved in the official sales case. They are also evidence of the transactions of buying and selling official positions over the years. You must keep them in your possession and hand them over to His Majesty in person!

"If I can avenge my wife and children, I will die without regrets. Sir, take the evidence and leave quickly!"

Before he could leave, the whistling sound of an arrow was heard. Tang Yun's face changed and he stood in front of Sun He. He collapsed to the ground with an arrow in his chest.

Then, several men in black descended from the sky and fought with the accompanying masters.

"Sir, run away, run away quickly!"

"All my hopes rest on you. Run away, run away, run away!"

Tang Yun covered his chest tightly and vomited blood. Sun He gritted his teeth and before he could run away, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder.

With a flash of his body, the things in his arms were snatched away, and then all the men in black scattered.

"Sir, Sir... Ugh!"

Looking in the direction where the assassin left, Tang Yun's face became paler and paler, and his eyes were full of despair.

Sun He came over immediately, but before he could check, he was stabbed in the lower abdomen.

"Sir, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Actually, I lied. My sister is still in their hands. If they can spare my sister for the sake of my killing you, then we can save the last of our relatives."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all because of me that I've caused trouble for you, my death is not a pity!"

His hands went limp and Tang Yun completely lost his breath, but his eyes were wide open.

Sun He raised his hands with reluctance and closed his eyes. Then, he was carried to a nearby clinic by his bodyguards.

The doctors at the clinic tried their best to save the patient and finally saved his life, but the list was nowhere to be found.

Soon, the matter was reported to the palace. Su Lili also saw it in the memorial and felt sad.

[Alas, that old man is simply repaying kindness with enmity! Sun He originally wanted to help him! ]

[Now the only clue is broken, and the whereabouts of the important list is unknown. What a pity, such a pity! ]

Emperor Jian'an was also furious, but he could do nothing about it. After all, Sun He's injury was a work-related injury, so he sent someone to allocate some precious medicinal herbs as a token of sympathy.

Secretly, people were sent to track down the whereabouts of the list, and a dragnet was set up throughout the city.

It was another early morning. Meng Yiyi went out to buy sesame cakes for her father, and suddenly she saw a familiar figure.

Is it him? The young man I met by chance in the palace!

When Wei Xi saw her, he was also slightly stunned, and at this moment, his good friend suddenly spoke.

"Hey, what are you looking at? You are an unfeminine woman. You dare to covet the future number one scholar!"

"Haha, is she still a nymphomaniac? Brother Wei, let's go. Don't bother with this woman!"

Hearing the mocking words, Meng Yiyi immediately became furious, pulled out the whip from her waist, and slammed it heavily on the face of the mocker.

The skin was broken and there were several bloodstains. Even though Wei Xi felt guilty, he couldn't help but get angry because he felt sorry for his friend.

"Girl, they say a gentleman uses his mouth, not his fists. It's wrong for them to scold you, but you shouldn't hit them either."

"Let it go today, but don't do it again next time. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

Meng Yiyi laughed in anger, leaned over, clamped Wei Xi's chin with her fingers, and said provocatively, "Well, how exactly are you going to be so rude? How about telling me?"

“You, you…”

The beautiful little face was so close to him, and Wei Xi felt embarrassed and annoyed.
