In a daze, Chu Xuan could feel someone carrying him onto a carriage, but he was so weak that he couldn't resist at all.

Soon, the carriage stopped and Chu Xuan was carried up again. After walking for a while, he was thrown heavily to the ground.

Thinking that they had arrived at the destination, Chu Xuan struggled to open his eyes, but he had no strength at all.

At this moment, the door of the house was opened from the outside, and a man dressed in Tatuo clothing walked in.

"I've already said that there are too many people outside, so why don't you wear Tianji's clothes? Are you afraid that others don't know that there is a Tatuo person living here?"

The person who spoke was Kong Chenyang, and there was a lot of impatience in his tone.

Chu Xuan listened secretly and guessed that the person who came in should be the Alega from Tatuo that Lu Yanluo had mentioned.

Alega waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "So what if they know? There are many Tatuo people in the capital. I won't tell them that I am here to gather intelligence. What's so scary about that? But you, why did you capture the Night King? Are you going to kill him?"

It is no exaggeration for Chu Xuan to say that he heard excitement in Alega's words. This man was obviously a madman.

"No." Kong Chenyang denied: "Now is not the time to kill him. Besides, he should not die in my hands, but in the hands of his despicable father."

Alega sneered and said casually: "That's right, then how do you plan to deal with him? He can be a prince. Don't forget that you are still a small historian. Imprisoning a prince privately is a capital crime."

Kong Chenyang said impatiently: "I know, just take care of yourself, I will make the decision!"

Alega was frustrated and stood up and left in embarrassment.

Chu Xuan could feel Kong Chenyang staring at him, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Sir." A servant knocked on the door gently, with a hint of urgency in his tone: "Sir, His Majesty summons you to the palace immediately."

Kong Chenyang was silent for a moment, then hummed, "Got it, I'll go to the palace right away."

The emperor summoned him at this time probably because of Chu Xuan's matter.

Kong Chenyang looked back at the unconscious person, took out a pill from his arms and stuffed it into Chu Xuan's mouth. This pill was the same thing he had given Lu Yanluo before, but now it seemed that for some reason, Lu Yanluo had no effect after taking it, and she still remembered what she shouldn't remember.

Now the risk is on Chu Xuan, and he can only take another gamble. Kong Chenyang gritted his teeth secretly. He could only blame Chu Xuan for meddling in other people's affairs and causing them unnecessary trouble.

Only after giving Chu Xuan the medicine did Kong Chenyang leave with peace of mind.

After taking this medicine, one will be sleepy for at least twelve hours, which is enough time for him to go to the palace to deal with the emperor.

What he didn't know was that ever since Lu Yanluo knew that Kong Chenyang had a secret medicine that could make people lose their memory, she had prepared an antidote pill in advance, and Chu Xuan had already taken the antidote.

So not long after Kong Chenyang left, the effect of the drug on Chu Xuan wore off and he woke up.

After waking up, Chu Xuan discovered that this was not some other place, but a branch courtyard of the Confucius Mansion.

After the fire in the Kong Mansion, the Kong family moved to a villa. Although the emperor promised Kong Chenyang that he would choose another mansion for him afterwards, Kong Chenyang declined. After Kong Chenyang returned, the family continued to stay in the Kong family villa.

Chu Xuan dodged the guards in the other courtyard, secretly searched the yard, and finally drove to Kong Chenyang's study.

The environment in the study is very simple, with a bookshelf full of books on one side and a desk with paper, ink, brush and inkstone on the other.

Chu Xuan searched the study but found nothing. When he left, he suddenly remembered the secret room where Lu Yanluo had stayed for seven days.

Kong Chenyang is a meticulous person. If he wants to put something important in the study, he will definitely not put it on the surface. He will definitely...

Chu Xuan returned to the bookshelf and looked carefully, and sure enough, he found something wrong.

He discovered that there was an empty space under the floor in front of the bookshelf. Chu Xuan carefully pried open the floor and found a small box hidden inside.

Chu Xuan's heart moved, he opened the box to check, and frowned instantly.

Among them were the names of all the officials of Tianji, big and small, including the relatives and children of these officials. All their actions in recent years were recorded in the book.

These are all evidences of their corruption and bribery. Just one of them is enough to put the person on the list to death.

Chu Xuan couldn't help but be secretly shocked. Kong Chenyang usually kept a low profile, but he didn't expect that he had already figured out the inside story of so many officials. It was true that a barking dog would bite!

If Kong Chenyang used these things to threaten those people, I am afraid that by then, most of the officials in the entire court would turn against him and stand on Kong Chenyang's side.

But it was obvious that Kong Chenyang had let a wolf into the house this time. Chu Xuan was not polite at all and took away all the things and then restored the floor to its original state.

In order not to alert the enemy, Chu Xuan secretly sneaked out of the villa, hid the stolen book, and then returned to the room where he had been locked up before and pretended to be asleep.

Since Kong Chenyang didn't kill him, he must have sent him away secretly like he did to Lu Yanluo last time.

Sure enough, everything happened as Chu Xuan expected. Kong Chenyang hurried out of the palace and ran straight to where Chu Xuan was. He was relieved when he saw that he was still asleep.

Afterwards, Chu Xuan felt himself being carried up again and thrown into a carriage. The voices around him became fewer and fewer. Chu Xuan guessed that Kong Chenyang was going to leave the city.

About half an hour later, the carriage stopped. Kong Chenyang took Chu Xuan off the carriage and threw him on the ground at random.

"Your Highness, as the saying goes, life and death are determined by fate, while wealth and honor are determined by heaven. I wanted to kill you, but Miss Lu is innocent, and I couldn't bear to see her remain a widow because of you. But if I don't kill you, you just come up to me, so I have no choice but to resort to this last resort. If you are lucky enough to return to the capital, that's fine. If you... then you can only blame yourself for your bad luck."

Chu Xuan lay on the ground motionless. Soon, he heard the sound of a carriage leaving. Kong Chenyang was gone.

To be on the safe side, Chu Xuan waited for a quarter of an hour before getting up from the ground. He looked indifferently in the direction where Kong Chenyang left. This place was on a mountain fifty miles away from the capital.

"Master." Shen He appeared out of nowhere and knelt in front of Chu Xuan: "I have explained to Miss Cheng that I also have the master's things."

Shen He presented a stack of booklets, which were the names of the officials that Chu Xuan had secretly taken out of the Confucius Mansion.

When Shen He returned from the camp outside Beijing, he saw the mark left by Chu Xuan. He followed it all the way and found it. After that, he followed Kong Chenyang's carriage, waiting for an opportunity to rescue Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan nodded, jumped on his horse, and headed towards the capital.
