Chapter 430 Shock
Yuan Qifeng frowned slightly and shook his head, saying, "For the moment, I really don't have any clue. I've been an official for more than 20 years, and it's impossible to say that there are no people who are jealous of me. But I really can't think of who would want to kill me in this way. Maybe I have unintentionally made a mortal enemy without realizing it?"
"What should we do? We don't even know who the other party is." Liu felt even more depressed after hearing this. It felt like a knife was hanging over her head, and she didn't know when it would fall. "I don't know when the evidence was placed in our mansion. This time it's okay. Commander Zhao was careless and lost the so-called evidence. Next time, who knows what dirty tricks they will use. It's really hard to guard against."
Yuan Qifeng nodded in agreement: "We must be more careful in the future."
"Dad, Mom." At this time, Yuan Zian's voice rang out from the door: "I'm afraid the emperor has also tacitly approved of this matter."
Liu was startled when she heard this and turned to look at Yuan Zian and Yuan Zining standing at the door: "An'er, how can you guess the emperor's thoughts like this? How could the emperor..."
Thinking of this possibility, Liu broke out in a cold sweat.
"An'er, what you mean is..." In fact, Yuan Qifeng also had some guesses in his mind, but he was not willing to believe it.
"Dad, Mom." Yuan Zi'an sighed softly, walked into the house, and whispered, "Everything about today's incident is strange. The emperor didn't give us a chance to argue, as if he had already determined that we were guilty. Think about Eunuch Liu's attitude, he clearly had it all figured out. If the emperor trusted Dad, why didn't he even give me a chance to explain?"
"That's right." After what happened today, Yuan Zining seemed to have calmed down a bit. He said angrily, "If His Majesty trusts Daddy, why doesn't he let Daddy confront the man who hurt him? In my opinion, this might all be a play directed and performed by His Majesty himself, just to get rid of Daddy and our Yuan Mansion."
"Ning'er!" Liu scolded in shock, "Don't speak of His Majesty like that. How could His Majesty..."
Before Liu finished speaking, Yuan Ziyu's voice came in: "Mother, what Second Brother said makes sense."
"You'er." When Liu saw Yuan Ziyu, she hurried forward and held Yuan Ziyu's hand. She had already guessed that Yuan Ziyu must have hidden in that small world, but now that her two sons were there, she didn't dare to ask.
Instead, Yuan Qifeng asked, "You'er, did you let the guards outside the mansion see you return home?"
"Don't worry, Dad." Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "Of course I have to let them see it."
As soon as Eunuch Liu and his group left, Yuan Ziyu hurriedly left the Yuan Mansion and waited outside for a long time before finding a secluded place to leave the Qiongjiang Pavilion. She also deliberately let the guards guarding outside the mansion see her climb over the back wall to enter the mansion.
"That's good." Yuan Qifeng nodded.
"Little sister, where have you been today? Let me tell you, something big happened in our house today." Yuan Zining completely ignored what Yuan Ziyu had said before, and hurriedly wanted to tell Yuan Ziyu what happened in the house today.
"Second brother, I know everything." Yuan Ziyu said hurriedly.
"Ah!" Yuan Zining was confused. "Didn't you leave the house? You found out so quickly? Did Qingying and Qingzhi tell you?"
Yuan Zian pulled Yuan Zining and said, "Listen to my little sister."
"Oh." Although Yuan Zining was still a little confused, he shut up obediently and blinked at Yuan Ziyu, hoping that she would quickly answer his questions.
"Big brother, second brother, I know everything that happened today. I'll tell you in detail later." After Yuan Ziyu finished speaking, he took out a stack of letters and handed them to Yuan Qifeng: "Dad, this is the so-called evidence."
Yuan Qifeng took it, read only one letter, and then slammed the table in anger: "Damn it, they actually framed me like this."
Liu and the others also picked up a letter and read it. After reading it, they were all very angry.
Yuan Ziyou had naturally read all of these letters. Seeing that everyone had finished, he said softly, "Father, Mother, Big Brother, and Second Brother, you should all be mentally prepared for what I am about to say."
"You'er, go ahead." Yuan Qifeng took a deep breath and said.
Yuan Ziyou pursed his lips and said, "The owner of these letters is none other than the current emperor."
"What!" When they heard Yuan Ziyu's words, they all opened their eyes wide in shock. Even though Yuan Zining's guess just now was just a casual remark, now that Yuan Ziyu said it with such certainty, it made them feel a little unbelievable and somewhat unable to accept it.
"You heard it right. What my second brother said just now is very right. This is a play directed and acted by the emperor himself. The purpose is to get rid of our Yuan family, which is a thorn in his side." Yuan Ziyu narrowed his eyes and said while gritting his teeth.
There was no response, everyone was trying to digest the news.
Even though they guessed that Emperor Wen of Qi no longer trusted the Yuan family, Yuan Ziyu's words still had a great impact on them.
After a while, Yuan Zining asked, "Little sister, how did you know?"
"I heard it myself from Commander Zhao," Yuan Ziyou pointed at the stack of letters. "I stole these letters from Commander Zhao. They weren't left in Father's study by anyone. They were already on Commander Zhao. He came into the mansion to search just to find a pretext to take the letters."
"Damn it!" Yuan Zining pounded the table in anger. "How cruel is Your Majesty? No matter what, Dad has been guarding the border for twenty years. Even if he hasn't made any contributions, he has worked hard. It's too soon to just abandon him."
Then he said puzzledly: "I don't know why His Majesty would do this. Our Yuan family has never done anything to offend His Majesty."
Yuan Zian sneered, "Why else? Daddy's reputation is too high. Overshadowing the master has always been a taboo for kings."
Seeing that Yuan Qifeng remained silent, the two brothers hurriedly asked, "Dad, what do you think?"
Yuan Qifeng looked at the two brothers, then at Liu and Yuan Ziyou, and sighed, "If things are really as You'er said, I'm afraid our Yuan family will not be able to escape unscathed."
"Dad, do you mean that the emperor wants to kill us all?" Yuan Zining took a breath and said.
"Once the arrow is shot, there's no turning back." Yuan Qifeng said, "Today's incident has alerted the enemy. Given His Majesty's temperament, I'm afraid he won't let this go."
After saying this, he laughed at himself again: "How ridiculous that I, Yuan Qifeng, was loyal and devoted, but ended up with such an ending. It's really... ridiculous and pathetic!"
At this moment, Yuan Ziyou's voice filled with hatred rang out: "Dad, why don't we rebel?"
