Jiaojiao was still not waking up.
In her dream, the man who escorted her out turned back and groped his way back to the ancestral hall in the thick smoke.
Feng Shangshi was gone, and there was chaos outside. Many people took advantage of the chaos to escape.
Some people covered their faces and ran out.
The man couldn't find anyone, and seeing the fire growing more intense, he turned and left. He walked along the familiar route to a house, and seeing no one around, he jumped over the wall and went in. He continued to climb over several yards and stopped at a house.
There was a middle-aged man with a goatee waiting in the pavilion. When he saw him come back, he hurried out to greet him.
"How is it?" asked the man with goatee.
The black man shook his head: "Jiaojiao has been sent away, but Feng Shangshi's whereabouts are unknown. According to the plan, if the Feng family is in trouble, it is estimated that many people will escape."
Goatee nodded: "Fortunately Feng Shangshi was prepared in advance, otherwise the Feng family..."
He changed the subject, "I wonder how the Crown Prince is doing lately... We should be on the list too. From today on, I have no choice but to disappear! Luckily, I, Qin, am alone and can hide away at any time. I'm afraid the others won't be able to do the same! I don't know how many innocent people will be implicated this time."
There were severe floods in the south, followed by a major epidemic. The Crown Prince had been away for several days, and the last time he sent news to the palace was five days ago. It was unknown what his current condition was.
The man in black sighed: "This Third Prince is too cruel."
The man with the goatee said, "Let alone the Third Prince, even the Jiang family has been suppressed by the Feng family for so many years. Now that the Feng family has no powerful younger generation emerging, the Jiang family has produced one. They must also want to take this opportunity to completely turn the tables."
It just hurt innocent people.
The man in black then asked the goateed man, "Master Qin, have you confirmed that the letter has been delivered to the Crown Prince?"
Lord Qin nodded. "Brother Yuming, don't worry about that. The two groups going this time are the Crown Prince's trusted confidants who stayed in the capital. They are highly skilled in martial arts and are also very alert. For such a serious matter, there must be no mistakes! Otherwise..."
Otherwise, the prince's line would be completely finished, and even the prince himself would be in danger of losing his life.
The man called Brother Yuming still had a frown on his face.
"It's getting dark soon. I wonder what the situation is like at the Feng family. I'll take this opportunity to go check on them. Sir Qin, please take care of yourself. I won't be coming over for a while."
Feng Shangshi had prepared a fallback plan beforehand. Even before she could discern the Third Prince's specific actions, she knew something bad was about to happen. If the Feng family were to face a calamity, the Crown Prince's faction would surely be no exception.
Unexpectedly, the Third Prince pulled off a combined attack. Taking advantage of the Crown Prince's absence, he first controlled several court officials and then took down the Feng family. Such a covert and effective strike was undoubtedly due to the Jiang family's involvement.
The Feng and Jiang families had always been at odds. The Feng family possessed abundant resources and extensive connections, and like the Crown Prince, they were considered the purest and most accurate fortune-telling family. Meanwhile, the Jiang family, like the Third Prince, while also distinguished, remained inferior.
Princes have always been ambitious. The Third Prince was no exception, otherwise he wouldn't have recruited the Jiang family. However, he always acted cautiously, not revealing his cards until he was absolutely certain. If it weren't for the Feng family, no one would have known that the Jiang family was under the Third Prince's wing.
By the time the Feng family discovered this, it was too late. The Crown Prince was thousands of miles away, providing disaster relief, and he had no power to return and defend himself. Outside, he was like a tiny ant, helpless to be crushed by the Third Prince's men.
Fortunately, Fengshang Food had asked everyone to prepare a retreat early in the morning, so that they could save their lives in an emergency.
