Chapter 68: The Cold Weather and Zhen Po

"What? Did you find out what's going on?"

Duke Zhen's face turned dark and he stood up immediately.

The servant was shaking with fear on his face. "My Lord, two days ago you ordered the people below to be quiet for the next two days. Except for one or two maids who go out to buy things every morning, we haven't gone out in the past two days."

"Get out, you bastard!"

Zhen Wood stepped over the threshold and walked out with a gloomy look in his cloudy eyes.

Some people have been urging for delivery these two days, so he arranged people to make incense as quickly as possible. Speeding up the process would inevitably cause some noise.

So he ordered the Duke's Mansion to keep a low profile as much as possible, and he himself did not go out due to illness, so naturally no one would suspect him.

Was there some variable that happened that he was unaware of?

When he reached the gate of the mansion, he saw that the dark mass of Yu Lin's army had really surrounded the mansion, making it impossible for anyone to escape.

He recognized the leader, Fan Chengfeng, the leader of the Yulin Army.

Zhen Wood smiled softly at him and said, "Lord Fan, this Duke is sick and recuperating. The Yulin Army surrounded my Duke's Mansion. What does that mean?"

"My Lord, you should still worry about whether the lives of everyone in your family can be saved."

Fan Chengfeng looked at Duke Zhen with a sharp gaze that contained a hidden murderous intent.

Three years ago, he took his sister to visit the Lantern Festival during the Lantern Festival.

Later... my sister got lost near Xiangyuan Yayuan.

Over the past two years, he has been looking for his sister's whereabouts, and he still has some hope in his heart.

If his sister's corpse became the cornerstone of the Duke's Mansion's wealth, he would disregard the emperor's orders and would wipe out the entire Duke's Mansion.

"Master Fan, what has happened to my family? Can you tell me a little?"

As they were talking, Jiang Li and Zhao Yi led a group of people and came towards the Duke's Mansion.

"Duke Zhen, do you know that a big event happened in the capital this morning?"

Jiang Li's expression was as cold as Yan Luo's, extremely cold and lonely.

Duke Zhen's heart suddenly skipped a beat, but he remained calm.

"What is it?"

"None of your business!"

Jiang Li's tone suddenly turned cold, and his eyes fixed on Duke Zhen with a hint of murderous intent.

The next second, Jiang Li raised his right hand and waved it gently: "Search!"

"yes!"

A large number of people quickly poured into the Zhen Mansion, and Duke Zhen's face quickly turned ugly.

"Without His Majesty's decree, Lord Jiang acted in this way. I will report it to His Majesty one day and let him judge for our country!"

“I wish you success.”

Jiang Li swaggered into the Duke's Mansion without even paying any attention to Duke Zhen.

Zhao Yi on the side was relatively kind. He looked at Duke Zhen with a smile, and said with a sinister tone:

"Didn't the Duke know about this? Xiangyuan Yayuan collapsed, and thousands of children's bodies have been dug out from underneath. We found the account book of Xiangyuan Yayuan in the ruins, and all the money went into your pocket~"

"Sir Zhao, isn't it a bit too arbitrary to think that I did it just based on a book found in Xiangyuan Yayuan? What if the murderer framed me?"

Duke Zhen's body swayed slightly, then quickly stabilized.

Account book, secret letter...

Those things were all in the secret room. The mechanism was so cleverly designed that they should not be found. Jiang Li and his companions were doomed to return empty-handed.

"Whether it is true or not, we will find out the truth anyway. You should just stay here and wait for me."

Zhao Yi smiled brightly and spoke out.

Not long after, Jiang Li came out with a group of people.

The group of people who came out with him also had a group of people captured by his men.

"Take them all down! Seal off the Duke's Mansion!"

Jiang Li was not the type of person who liked to explain. He just walked away with a cold face.

Duke Zhen originally wanted to refute it, but out of the corner of his eye he saw the box in Jiang Li's hand.

!!!

His pupils trembled again, and his face turned ashen.

Found it...

Jiang Li found the evidence so easily.

For some reason, Duke Zhen felt cold all over.

Xiangyuan Yayuan is renovated every year, so how could it collapse at will?

~~~

Jiang Youning was in a bad mood at the moment. She was rushing around looking for Jiang Wanrong.

Half asleep and half awake, she suddenly remembered that she had not put some talismans to ward off evil spirits on her sister. As a result, she ran to the next yard, only to find that Xia He was sleeping soundly, and her sister was missing.

But Jiang Youning had just rushed out of the yard and taken a few steps when she heard Jiang Wanrong calling her.

"Ningning, what are you doing?"

Hearing the voice, Jiang Youning breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister, where have you been? I came to give you some talismans, but I was scared to death when I found you were not there."

Jiang Youning patted his chest.

[Huh, I thought my sister was kidnapped and went to seek revenge on Duke Zhen, luckily it’s okay~]

What is a looting?

And why does my sister have talismans all over her face?

Jiang Wanrong twitched her lips, but did not take the initiative to tear me apart. Instead, she smiled and came closer to take a few more glances.

"Why do you need so many talismans? Why do you want to give them to me?"

I guess everyone outside knows about it by now, so Jiang Youning stopped pretending.

"Sister, there are many skeletons buried under Xiangyuan Yayuan. We have seen too many people who died tragically. It is better to avoid evil."

"Don't worry, sister doesn't need it.

Yes, you don't have to worry about bad things on weekdays, so you don't have to be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, and you don't have to worry too much.

If you are really scared, I will accompany you tonight."

"Is it okay?"

Jiang Youning's eyes suddenly lit up.

“…”

Jiang Wanrong's face turned red and she couldn't help but coughing twice.

Shouldn't she have asked that?

She suggested this because, firstly, her sister seemed genuinely frightened.

Secondly, she did find some things in the Duke's Mansion. Those things were enough to bring down Duke Zhen, but they were not enough for her to find the source of the evil incense, so she did not touch the evidence.

On the way back, she suddenly remembered that there was a little know-it-all at home. Maybe this evil little sister might know something too. Asking her might help her get the answer faster.

"Sister, why is your face suddenly so red and you're coughing? Are you okay?"

An expression of worry suddenly appeared on Jiang Youning's face.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly felt a little itchy in my throat, just go back and drink some water."

It was a comfortable little cotton jacket, and Jiang Wanrong couldn't help but laugh out loud.
