"Have you found the royal belongings in the Sheng family's hands?!" The man in black could hardly hide his anxiety in his tone.

You know, the emperor and his uncle both attach great importance to the bandit who looted the capital, and promised to reward anyone who catches him with a huge sum of gold.

In that case, wouldn't the entire prize money go to him? !

But the next second, Sheng Dehai said like a bachelor:

“No.”

"Then...then what clues did you find that night that showed the secret guards from the first house sneaking into the courtyard of the second house?!" the man in black asked in a conciliatory tone.

“No…I didn’t find anything.”

Sheng Dehai felt a little empty for no reason. He lowered his head to avoid the black-clothed man's gleaming eyes.

The man in black did not lose heart and continued to ask:

"That... is because you happened to see Sheng San using magic to kill several officials last night. Does this mean that he is the bandit who looted the capital?"

"No...no..."

"So what evidence did you find to prove that Sheng Sanqian was responsible for all those things?"

The man in black felt that the ten thousand taels of gold in his mouth had grown wings and flew away in an instant. But he still patiently asked kindly.

"Evidence? I didn't find any evidence! Those were my inferences, hehe...they were inferred..."

Sheng Dehai was quite at a loss and smiled awkwardly at the man in black.

Man in Black: ...

He clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves in anger. If he hadn't tried his best to hold back, he would have punched the other person in the face.

Sheng Dehai seemed to have sensed the black-clad man's anger. He did not dare to take action and said in a joking manner:

"Oh! Sir! Although it's just a guess, I figured it out with my own hands!"

"Think about it! In the past, when we were considered unlucky, only one strange thing would happen each year. But this year, several strange things happened one after another! And strange things happened wherever the exile team went! Don't you think it's too coincidental?!"

"Looking at the entire exile team, apart from Sheng San who likes to study unorthodox methods, who else would do such a thing?!"

Man in Black: ...

Thank you, I have already thought of such a simple reasoning...

He was too lazy to talk nonsense to this person. The scabbard in his hand shook, and the sharp sword that had been retracted earlier whizzed out again and directly hit the neck of the Shengde pirate.

"Idiot! The Prime Minister has already thought of these things you mentioned! Otherwise, why would he go to the trouble of letting you monitor them?!"

"From now on, you will closely monitor all the activities of the Sheng family's eldest house! If you find any abnormal behavior from them, report it to us immediately!"

"The members of the Sheng family are very vigilant. We will not get too close to the exile team, but will always follow you from a distance. Just send a message to us quietly according to the old method."

After saying that, he looked Sheng Dehai up and down again.

Not only was his body covered with a lot of smelly unknown objects, but many of the whip wounds were already red, swollen and rotten.

The hatred in the black-clothed man's eyes was so strong that it was about to overflow. He took out two small bottles of medicine from his pocket and threw them at Sheng Dehai without any hesitation.

"If you don't want to die, take one pill from the red bottle every day, and apply the medicine from the blue bottle to the wound. Don't die before you complete the mission!"

Thinking that his master's big plan still depends on this person. Fu changed his tone to a gentle one and comforted him:

"The people in the Sheng family's first branch are actually very soft, so don't try to force them. Just do more superficial work like before. Besides, they know you are a relative, so they definitely won't mind revealing some secrets to you!"

"You know, the seriously injured Sheng Jinghai and the fifth son of the Sheng family are still in our hands. Our adults have also guessed that the third son of the Sheng family is not a simple character. He is willing to bring his family to follow the exile team just to paralyze us."

"I guess he is also gathering forces in secret, preparing to fight to the death with us in Liuyun County to save Sheng Jinghai and Sheng Tiance. Hehe..."

Having said this, the man in black couldn't help but laugh sinisterly a few times and lowered his voice even more.

"Little did they know that our Lord had already guessed their thoughts. He had already laid a net in Liuyun County, waiting for them to come and swoop in."

"Then, we will catch all the troublemakers belonging to the Qin Wang faction!"

The man in black spoke in a gloomy tone, his eyes gradually filled with bloodthirsty madness.

"I think by then, the remnants of the Qin king in the Southern Qi border army will have been cleared out."

"The 200,000 troops in the North have completely come under the Prime Minister's wing. The big event that the Prime Minister has been preparing for can now be put on the agenda... hehehe..."

Sheng Dehai was also extremely excited by what he said, and his eyes glowed green.

Although he didn't understand what he meant by the last sentence, just the previous ones were enough to make him so excited that he couldn't sit still.

Who could have imagined that his emotions would fluctuate so drastically that day.

Because of the successive attacks from the eldest wife of the Sheng family, the situation had fallen to the bottom, but now it has turned around and got the promise from the man in black.

As long as you listen to them obediently, you can not only take revenge on the Sheng family, but also live a good life without worries about food and clothing in the future!

Sheng Dehai's eyes lit up, and his previous arrogant attitude disappeared. Like a pug, he fawned on the man in black:

"Yes, yes, yes... Sir, you are right! From now on, I will do whatever the Prime Minister says! I will always be at your service without any complaints... complaints..."

However, before he could finish his words, he felt a pain in his hand.

When he looked down, he found that the man in black had stepped heavily on his hand.

“My lord, you…” Sheng Dehai raised his head and looked at the man in black in disbelief.

After the man in black finished drawing the cake, he started beating it with a stick.

She pressed hard with her feet, causing Sheng Dehai's fingers to rub and make a crackling sound. She said sinisterly:

"Sheng Dehai, I'm warning you. This is the last chance that the Prime Minister will give you."

"The master said that if you dare to let others take advantage of you again like before, you will ruin the soup we have prepared for a long time..."

"He will just have someone throw you into the Dragon Abyss!"

The black-clothed man's cold voice lingered in his ears, and Sheng Dehai's subconscious shuddered.

Dragon Valley...

That was where the Southern Qi royal family punished the secret guards.

It is said that there are all kinds of extremely cruel torture methods in it. Some people were even hung with one breath, and after being tortured for decades, they were allowed to die!

For those who were thrown in, death was a relief!

When Sheng Dehai heard the name, he was immediately frightened. He didn't care about the pain coming from his fingers, and hurriedly assured:

"My Lord, please let me go. This time... I won't do that again! I will definitely find out the steps of Sheng San's method before arriving at Liuyun County!"

The man in black sneered, but his footwork increased a bit. Ignoring Sheng Dehai, with a twisted expression of pain on his face, he said grimly:

"I told you the story of the Prime Minister in Liuyun County just to let you know the truth and avoid making mistakes. If you dare to reveal a word of this..."

The man in black's tone became increasingly gloomy, like a ghost whispering in the dark night.

"That's the result of being thrown into the Dragon Abyss Valley..."

"Yes, yes, yes... I know... I know... I will never reveal a single word to anyone..."

At this moment, he clearly realized the gap between himself and the other party.

Without his status as a doctor of the Ministry of Rites, he was just an ant that could be crushed to death at will. How could he dare to show any temper in his tone?

The man in black snorted in ridicule and said coldly:

"Go back quickly to avoid suspicion."

Then he disappeared silently in the wind and snow.

Sheng Dehai felt like he had just had a nightmare.

After making sure that the other person had really left, 꺳 let out a long sigh of relief and collapsed powerlessly on the snow.

No matter what, as long as he completes the task assigned to him by the man in black, not only will all the members of the Sheng family die a miserable death, but he can also return to the capital to enjoy his life.

Thinking about the good days ahead, Sheng Dehai couldn't help but feel happy. He stood up, brushed off the snow on his body, and prepared to return to the exile team.

But in an instant, suddenly a ball flew towards me from a distance.

Go straight to his eyebrows!

“Ouch—”

Sheng Dehai was unable to dodge and was hit directly. He was also unsteady and rolled down a hillside nearby.

“Help! Help!”

This place was quite far from the exile camp, and he shouted several times but no one came to rescue him.

The slope was high and steep, and he rolled all the way down, hitting his head hard several times.

He tried his best to grab a branch to steady himself and climbed onto a small platform on the mountainside not far away.

As soon as I climbed up, I saw a pair of small and exquisite reed shoes suddenly appeared on the snow in front of me.

Then, I heard a soft, yet extremely cold voice coming from the front:

"Uncle, you're really in the mood. You just finished planning something important and are here to go skiing?"

Sheng Dehai: !!!
