Ajie clasped his fists in reply.
"After the action here, we've already notified them with the whistle. I guess they're closing in."
The study in the general's mansion.
Three quarters past noon.
After the housekeeper arranged the day's work, he calmly walked towards the study with water in his hand.
The study is a sensitive area and ordinary servants are not allowed to enter. The housekeeper has always been responsible for cleaning it.
Go into the study and put down the water, then turn back and close the study door.
He turned around and went straight to the bookshelf, moved a few books on the top shelf, took out a few folded papers from his arms, put them on the shelf, and then put the books back in their original places one by one.
When he put the last book in, he was held down by a pair of hands like iron clamps, unable to move.
"Butler, what are you doing?"
The butler forced himself to remain calm.
"No, nothing. I was just cleaning. This book is dusty. I took it down and dusted it."
"Oh? Why didn't I see you dusting?"
Chu Feng reached out and pressed the housekeeper's acupoints, and another secret guard moved the book away and took out the few pieces of paper that the housekeeper had just put there.
"What is this?" Chu Feng took the paper from the secret guard and waved it.
"Don't say you don't know. Chu Ming has been staying in the study, and I followed you in. We saw your every move clearly."
"How do you know?" the butler was surprised.
Chu Feng snorted coldly.
"We not only know about your affairs, but also about the border affairs and the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"How could it be? How is it possible?"
"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself! The general's family treated you well, yet you still had the guts to do such a thing. You're simply not a human being!"
"Everyone serves his own master."
Seeing that the truth was revealed, the housekeeper wanted to bite the poison hidden in his teeth, but Chu Feng directly broke his jaw.
"Want to die? Don't dream on. The general and his men should be back soon. Let the general deal with you."
Chu Ming found a rope, tied up the butler tightly, and threw him out of the study.
This action attracted many servants to watch and discuss. Chu Ruoyan and others also rushed over after hearing the news. When they learned the whole story, they were so angry that they trembled.
"Zheng Youcai, we have never treated you unfairly!
These things are evidence of treason and collaborating with the enemy. They will lead to rivers of bloodshed. Why are you framing us like this?"
Nangong Yunxue also came with Nangong Jiu in her arms.
Nangong Jiu grumbled and cursed.
[This damn old man is one of the culprits who caused the general's family to be exterminated.]
[He looks like a decent human being, but he does things worse than animals.]
"Xiao Wang, bite him!"
Xiao Wang followed orders in all his actions. He barked a few times at the housekeeper's face with his teeth bared, and then bit the housekeeper's nose, causing blood to flow out immediately.
The butler groaned in pain, his face full of fear.
Half an incense stick later, Nangong Honglie and his son returned home and rushed over quickly after receiving the news.
Chu Ruoyan gritted her teeth in fear: "Husband, he has no conscience..."
"Madam, don't be angry. He is Liu Heng's lackey and works for Liu Heng."
"Killing him and tearing him into pieces will relieve the hatred in our hearts!"
"Well, before I kill him, I have to interrogate him thoroughly."
The father and son, Chu Feng and others, took the housekeeper to the dungeon.
The study of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Prime Minister Xue paced back and forth between the desk and the door, his hands clasped together, muttering to himself.
"God bless you, Bodhisattva bless you, everything goes well..."
Prime Minister Xue sent almost everyone around him out to gather information.
This provides convenience for the secret guards responsible for monitoring it.
The secret guards looked at him with amusement as he prayed to the gods and Buddha, watching him running around like an ant on a hot pan...
I hope you won't be too disappointed.
The secret guards complained in their hearts and tried hard to control themselves from making any sound.
It was not until they heard the whistle that they smiled and pounced on the weird Prime Minister Xue at the same time.
"Prime Minister Xue, the Bodhisattva has sent us to take you to the prison."
Prime Minister Xue was shocked: "What are you going to do?"
"Isn't it obvious? I'll arrest you!"
Prime Minister Xue struggled violently: "Surrender to the authorities? What case? I am the Prime Minister of this dynasty."
The secret guard twisted his hands behind his back, causing him to scream in pain: "Ouch... Let go, let go!"
"We're arresting you, the Prime Minister! We advise you to cooperate and suffer less. Otherwise, don't blame us if we break your old arms and legs."
Two secret guards escorted Prime Minister Xue, who had become much more obedient, out of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The palace guards then surrounded the Prime Minister's Mansion tightly.
Li Yulin was so scared that he was shaking like a sieve.
"It's over!
It’s all over now!!
This thing must have failed, and now even my life is about to be lost!!!"
The Royal Guards’ headquarters.
Xue Huaian put on his armor and sat at his desk, waiting to receive the news so that he could lead the imperial guards to attack the palace.
After today, the Liu family's kingdom will become the world of my Xue family.
My son will be the master of that palace, and I myself will achieve my wish.
Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on Xue Huaian's face.
Because I was so engrossed in my thoughts, I didn't notice some subtle changes around me.
A few special whistles sounded, and the secret guards rushed towards Xue Huaian together.
Xue Huaian was a military commander with some experience in martial arts. When the secret guard pounced on him, he instantly regained his senses and jumped into defense.
"Quite quick to react! Commander Xue, the Emperor wants you to have tea in the prison. Come with us!"
"Why did the Emperor seek me out?"
"You'll know when you go there, won't you?"
"What if this commander doesn't?"
