"Tan Qinghui made a great effort this time. He withstood the pressure from outside and did not torture or coerce Zhao Shiqin into confessing." Baili Yanqing also inquired about the situation in the prison. "But what should we do now?"
"Send the evidence to Tan Qinghui and rescue Zhao Shiqin."
Baili Yanqing raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Did you think of taking this opportunity to pull Fan Heng down?"
"Didn't you also say that Fan Heng didn't leave any flaws? Moreover, even if there were flaws, Father would not punish him. Why bother doing this for nothing?" Su Chenyu knew that with Emperor Wei Jing's current reliance on Fan Heng, he would never do anything to him just because of the medicinal materials. "It's better to take this opportunity to clean up the mess!"
No matter what Baili Yu's current relationship with the Baili family is, he still has the surname Baili. If someone points him out in the future, he will be more or less affected by the Baili family.
If Baili Yanqing came forward to expose this matter personally, others would only think that Baili Yanqing was putting justice above his own.
"Moreover, Zhao Zihang rejected Fan Heng today. Fan Heng will definitely not accept this and will definitely put pressure on Tan Qinghui. We can't wait any longer."
Baili Yanqing understood what Su Chenyu meant: "Okay, I'll take care of this matter. It's also my job to clean up the mess."
Su Chenyu did not ask Baili Yanqing about his plan in detail, as there would not be any problem after all.
The next day, Baili Yanqing sent Zhu Yi to take inventory of the Baili family's property. When Zhu Yi was taking inventory in a remote warehouse, he unexpectedly found a room full of precious medicinal herbs, which were exactly the same as those that were replaced in the palace.
Zhu Yi did not dare to delay and immediately reported the matter to the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture.
Tan Qinghui immediately took the yamen runners to the warehouse to investigate the situation. It turned out to be the batch of medicinal materials that had been replaced in the palace, but why did these medicinal materials appear here?
The location of this warehouse was too remote and had been vacant for a long time. If Baili Yanqing had not asked Zhu Yi to take inventory of all the properties in the mansion, Zhu Yi would not have discovered that this warehouse was full of medicinal materials.
After several investigations, Tan Qinghui found that all the evidence pointed to Baili Yu, so he immediately sent people to arrest Baili Yu.
Upon hearing that Baili Yu was arrested, Fan Heng got angry: "Baili Yu, this idiot, didn't I tell him to destroy all those herbs? Why did he keep them?"
The subordinate asked tremblingly: "My Lord, what should we do about Baili Yu? He knows a lot about us. If he tells everyone, it will be very unfavorable to us."
Fan Hengxin sat down and calmed down for a while before continuing, "Since Baili Yu did this, he should bear the consequences himself. As for the things he did for me, is there any evidence to prove it?"
This was Fan Heng's smartest move, a verbal hint, but Baili Yu figured it out on his own and we can only blame him for misunderstanding the meaning.
"But……"
Before the subordinate could finish his words, Fan Heng glared at him and said, "Why, do you want to go with him?"
The subordinate immediately shut up. Fan Heng snorted coldly: "Bai Liyu is a member of the Bai Li family after all. I don't believe that Bai Li Yanqing can really kill his relatives for the sake of justice. Isn't the most important thing for these nobles to value face? He won't really let Bai Liyu get into trouble."
"Then, sir, are we going to do nothing?"
"Let's wait and see." Fan Heng was certain that Baili Yanqing would definitely not ignore Baili Yu. The most regrettable thing he realized was that he had not used this matter to threaten the Zhao family.
Thinking of what Zhao Zihang said to him that day, Fan Heng's eyes flashed with cruelty. If Zhao Zihang couldn't do what he wanted, he would become an obstacle to him. He had to think of a way to get rid of him...
