Chapter 574: I think I have it under control

Because the emperor vomited blood and fainted during the morning court, the atmosphere that had finally eased up some time ago became solemn and gloomy again. This is the case in the palace, not to mention outside the palace.

Because of the good things done by Duke Chengguo, the capital city is now like boiling oil and water has exploded in an instant!

Since returning to the capital, Xu Dexing's family has lived a colorful and prosperous life.

And the painstaking efforts seem to have paid off. Either Xu Dexing and this official go out to drink, eat and watch a play, or Li and that lady make an appointment to go out to appreciate flowers, enjoy autumn, go to the lake and mountains to worship Buddha. Even

Xu Yuyao is as close to many young ladies of the noble families in the capital as best friends. Su Ziqiao seemed to have also taken advantage of the situation and got to know a lot of people, as if he had already integrated into this circle.

Since General Xu had chosen to take action and kill his own relatives for the sake of justice, he would not have done so without any preparation.

He was well prepared before he lifted the veil at the morning court and let everything be exposed.

So Xu Dexing's family was caught off guard, and they didn't have time to receive any news, let alone make any preparations, before they were all imprisoned!

Su Ziqiao didn't even have a chance to escape!

In fact, he was still confused in prison!

Not to mention the others!

Even Xu Yuyao, who was originally attending a party outside, was caught back halfway and directly imprisoned in the prison with the other female members of the Xu family. The youngest Xu Chong was so scared that he kept crying, making people's ears buzz, which made people even more upset and irritable.

Finally, Xu Dexing was so annoyed by the noise that he could no longer bear it and slapped him. Li immediately protected her son and yelled at him: "Why are you hitting him? He is still young, he knows everything, he is just afraid!"

Xu Dexing glared and yelled: "He doesn't understand, don't you understand? Don't you see what time it is now? You keep quarreling and crying, just wait for death!"

Li closed her mouth, protected Xu Chong, and soothed Xu Chong's fear through the thick railing.

Su Zijiao calmed down quickly, sitting in the corner without saying a word, his mind working quickly.

In the end, he had to wonder if his identity was exposed, otherwise he couldn't explain what kind of situation would make them all go to jail at once, without any signs!

Thinking of this, the panic in his heart slowly disappeared. His mood calmed down, and he became calm, as if he had it all planned out.

If that was the case, he really didn't have to worry!

After all, the one he was working with was the Dayong royal family!

If the people and officials knew that the Dayong royal family was colluding with the enemy royal family, the reputation of the Dayong royal family would be ruined. For this reason alone, the Dayong royal family would never let such a thing happen. Then we have to save his life, otherwise...

Xu Dexing paced back and forth restlessly, and inadvertently found that his son-in-law didn't seem to panic at all. He walked over with an idea in his mind, "Ziqiao, have you thought of a solution?"

Su Ziqiao just smiled faintly, "Father-in-law, don't worry, just wait, you will be able to get out soon."

Xu Dexing's face lit up, "I knew that you, my son-in-law, are so capable, you will definitely be able to get out!"

Su Ziqiao smiled and said nothing. What

he didn't say was that he would indeed be able to get out soon, but it was hard to say whether the Xu family could get out together.

However...

he changed his mind and said, "Father-in-law, such a big thing has happened, and we have no power or influence. I think the most urgent thing is to ask someone to go to Duke Cheng's Mansion and ask Duke Cheng to help deal with it and find out what is going on."

"Didn't you say you had an idea?"

Su Zijiao sighed, "I have an idea, but I can't guarantee that it will be foolproof! But if Duke Cheng is willing to come forward to help us, it will be different! Isn't this for all of us to leave this damn place as soon as possible? The longer the time drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for us!"

"But... now we are all in jail, how can we pass the message?"

Su Zijiao pretended to ponder for a while and said, "How about this, my mother-in-law and Yuyao are wearing jewelry, so let's use these jewelry to bribe the jailers outside, ask them to give us a piece of paper and a pen, and then ask them to send a letter to the Chengguo Mansion!"

Xu Dexing felt that this was the only way now.

He asked the women in the mansion to take out their jewelry to bribe the jailers, in exchange for paper and pen, and wrote a letter to the jailers. The jailer was a little hesitant at first, but Su Zijiao saw that he was hesitant, so he simply gave him all the valuable jewelry on the Xu family women.

Bracelets, gold hairpins, they are so valuable!

Finally, the jailer took the letter and promised to deliver it to the Chengguo Mansion, but he could not guarantee anything else.

The jailer did deliver the letter, and it landed in General Xu's hands. It was a pity that General Xu burned it directly after reading it, as if he had seen nothing.

He was a little reluctant, as there were also people in the Xu Mansion next door who were unaware of the situation. However, Xu Dexing had chosen this path at the time, so he could only blame Xu Dexing.

He did not seem to have any sympathy for the Chengguo Mansion.

If Mu Hua had not known all this in advance,

the consequences would have been disastrous! The people in the prison were confident, but in the end, what they hoped for did not come, but instead they were subjected to severe punishment!

At first, Su Zijiao was very confident. But when it was his turn to be interrogated, he could not hold on any longer and shouted, "I want to see the emperor!"

"See the emperor? Forget about it. The emperor is not feeling well now, and the government affairs are in the hands of the prince! The Prime Minister cannot see the emperor yet, and you still want to see the emperor? Dream on! I advise you to tell the truth, or you will be punished by our Dayong!"

Su Zijiao was stunned for a moment, and realized that there might be a serious problem with the emperor's health!

He became even more anxious, "Then I want to see the prince! Let the prince come to see me, otherwise I will make you regret it for the rest of your life!"

Su Zijiao insisted on seeing the prince, and finally had to report to the prince.

The prince thought about it and really went to the prison to see Su Zijiao.

"Your Highness, please dismiss everyone first. If a third person hears what I am going to say, I am afraid that the person who will be worried in the end will be you, Your Highness!"

Zhao Chengye waved his hand to let the others leave. "You want to see me? What do you want to say?"

Su Zijiao told him about his collusion with the Dayong royal family.

In fact, he could more or less guess who he was colluding with. At first, he found it hard to believe, but in the end, he found it ridiculous. He was also happy

because this was a bigger handle.

Su Zijiao concluded that the prince would be jealous after knowing this secret.

He felt that the prince would not dare to kill him because he had the evidence. Once the prince killed him, the evidence would be made public!
