Censor Zhou understood the deep meaning behind it, and Zhou Gongjin naturally understood it as well.
They were either caught in an unprovoked disaster or someone had deliberately arranged it.
Censor Zhou continued, "Prime Minister, do you know why the blood letter from Yanzhou was not presented directly in the court, but was instead delivered by this humble official?"
"Censor Zhou, is there some other reason behind this?"
"There's no real story. It's just that on the day I was coming back from outside the city, I saw someone being ambushed and the guards in the mansion rescued him. That person happened to be a messenger from Yanzhou." Censor Zhou said slowly.
"That's quite a coincidence."
"Yes. It seems that this case has a special connection with me. I have no choice but to do my best to find out the truth." Censor Zhou said with a smile.
A quarter of an hour later, the two separated from the teahouse and went back.

Prime Minister's Mansion
"A'man, how's the investigation going?" Zhou Gongjin asked the burly man standing below. The man had an ordinary appearance, except for his sharp eyes, and he exuded a fierce aura.
"Sir, I have carefully investigated the source of the fire and it was indeed caused by the oil lamp. However, I saw residual kerosene on the ground near Xi's house. This must be an intentional act of arson and murder."
This was truly a murky situation. Regardless of the motives of the person behind it, he had now been dragged into the situation, forcing him to investigate thoroughly.
"Continue investigating. Also, secretly check on Zhang San, Qian, and Sun. Send some more people to keep an eye on the Mu Mansion." Zhou Gongjin ordered.
"Sir, do you suspect there is something wrong with the Mu Mansion?" Ah Man asked in surprise.
"It's not clear yet. Send someone to keep an eye on it first, and tell me immediately if there is any movement." Zhou Gongjin said in a deep voice.
"yes."
Late at night, a dark shadow appeared silently in the dungeon.
Bei Yutang leaned against the wall, opened his eyes and looked at the outsider.
"You're here."
An Ye walked into the cell, took out a package from his arms and handed it to her.
Bei Yutang took it from his hand without hesitation, spread out the oil paper, and revealed a fragrant roasted pigeon.
"What's the situation outside?"
"As you expected, Emperor Wenxuan has ordered Prime Minister Zhou, Censor Zhou, and Minister Yang to preside over this joint trial."
Before, he didn't understand why he intercepted the Yanzhou messenger and staged a killing scene, but now he finally understood.
Censor Zhou was a man of integrity, and he could not tolerate any injustice. When he saw the blood letter, he must have been furious, and he would have made a report to the court the next day. Meanwhile, they simultaneously struck the drum outside, one outside, the other inside, which had a far-reaching impact.
"Something happened to the Xi family too. The person who did it was a death squad from Prince Jin's Mansion."
Bei Yutang ate roasted pigeon while listening to his report.
"What's going on at the Gu company?" Bei Yutang asked.
"No. However, one of her trusted men left the city early this morning and hasn't returned yet."
Bei Yutang paused, "Which direction is he going?"
"Yanzhou."
Bei Yutang slowly put down the roasted pigeon in her hand. "Now send a letter to Lei Yuting and ask him to find that person. You don't need to control him, just closely monitor his every move. If he makes any move, tell me immediately."
"What do you suspect he will do?" asked Dark Night.
"It's not a doubt, but a certainty." Bei Yutang said firmly.
