Fengming didn't expect that the cooperation with the third prince Changmin would bring them such great help.
Because they had long regarded Sheng Jicheng as a thorn in their side, they had privately collected a lot of information related to Sheng Jicheng. Since they wanted to cooperate, Fengming naturally asked for a copy and gave it to Su Wei to analyze.
Su Wei's own intelligence team had just begun to deploy in Mingcheng, and the information they collected was naturally not comparable to that collected by the local natives. When he first got so much information, he was really impressed by Fengming, and began the analysis work with great enthusiasm. Following the clues, he actually discovered a huge network of interpersonal relationships. Su Wei analyzed one by one what kind of relationship Sheng Jicheng had with which adults in the court. It can be said that because of this information, Sheng Jicheng was almost naked in front of Fengming and others.
As for the fact that Feng Sanshi turned out to be Sheng Jicheng's man, fortunately, when Xin Wu was looking for storytellers to promote the story, he had already considered the possibility of being traced back by someone. He sent people to find local middlemen to contact those storytellers. Even if the middlemen were traced back, they would definitely not be able to tell who had contacted them.
Therefore, although Sheng Jicheng did know that someone was spreading rumors behind the scenes and the target was directly him, he had no way to control it. It is more difficult to guard against the people's mouths than to guard against the river. Even if he used his status as a prince to stop the storytellers from continuing to tell the story of his rise to wealth, he could not stop the mysterious small leaflets from appearing every day.
With the skillful manipulation of public opinion learned from Fengming and driven by Xin Wu's carefully arranged remarks, after a few days, Sheng Jicheng became the biggest scheming bitch in the eyes of the people of Mingcheng.
The eldest prince's investigation results on the incident in which Fengming and his companions were almost shot into hedgehogs in the camp outside the city also came out. Although under Sheng Jicheng's arrangement, he did not find any evidence directly pointing to Sheng Jicheng's arrangement. He had no choice but to follow Sheng Jicheng's sophistry and say that it was indeed a mistake caused by the soldiers' lack of skills.
But the eldest prince still took the opportunity to trick Sheng Jicheng and wrote to King Dong Yao. Although there was nothing wrong in arranging Sheng Jicheng, as a general and the direct person in charge of the camp outside the city, he should be responsible for the personal level of his soldiers. If the soldiers were not even proficient in archery, it would be irresponsible to the king, the kingdom, and the people. Sheng Jicheng must take responsibility.
Therefore, the eldest prince suggested not to return the tiger talisman to Sheng Jicheng for the time being. This move made Sheng Jicheng very angry. His control over the army was not stable enough. Although he had bribed many generals to become his men, he still had to rely on that small tiger talisman to mobilize more people.
Fengming separated some of Sheng Jicheng's interpersonal relationships that Su Wei had analyzed and told the Third Prince, asking him to start removing or overturning them, so that when they gave Sheng Jicheng the final heavy blow, those people would not come to help Sheng Jicheng and beg for mercy.
This was originally a matter of advantage for Fengming and the others, but strictly speaking, it was also beneficial to the Third Prince and his men. Therefore, they were not unhappy with Fengming's use of them, but instead felt that this cooperation was truly worthwhile. They had been investigating Sheng Jicheng's connections with ministers in the court for a long time, but with little success. They had unexpectedly figured it out so quickly. He didn't know that this was all because Fengming and the others had a golden finger.
After careful consideration, Uncle Xin Jiu sent a letter to Feng Ming, requesting to see Xin Wu.
When Xin Wu heard that Xin Yi was safe and sound, he was so excited that he cried and laughed. When he actually saw Uncle Xin Jiu and Xin Yi at Minglin Temple, he immediately hugged them and burst into tears. If that scene were put on a modern TV show, it would definitely be a tear-jerking scene of the highest level.
Because he really met Xin Wu and learned from Xin Wu the truth about the accident of the three members of the Xin family, Uncle Xin Jiu blamed himself extremely. He really regretted being deceived by Sheng Jicheng in the past few years, and even spent so much money to help the evildoer, and even almost harmed his own daughter again. With new and old grudges added up, Uncle Xin Jiu really wanted to rush to Sheng Jicheng's house, drag him out and kill him on the spot. Fortunately, he was dissuaded.
Thanks to efforts from many aspects, the situation was very good three days before the wedding of Sheng Jicheng and Bai Baozhu. They were almost just waiting for the wedding day to take revenge and put those two people under their feet.
However, an accident happened and Xin Wei disappeared!
Although Xin Wu had many things to arrange, she would go to Minglin Temple to see Xin Wei every three days. But on this day, the day of the three-day meeting came again, and Xin Wu waited and waited in Minglin Temple, but Xin Wei did not show up.
She anxiously sent people to look for him, and even risked her life to find the Third Prince to ask him to find out whether Sheng Jicheng was holding Xin Wei hostage and not wanting him to leave Prince Mu Yun's Mansion. However, the information she received back said that Xin Wei was clearly seen leaving Prince Mu Yun's Mansion early that morning accompanied by his attendants.
After Xin Wei left Prince Mu Yun's mansion, he should have gone out of the city and headed to Minglin Temple as usual. However, this time he unexpectedly stopped on the way and went to a jewelry store selling women's items. After entering the jewelry store, he was never seen coming out again. It was obvious that Xin Wei disappeared in that jewelry store.
Xin was confused and panicked when he heard that Xin was missing. He was like an ant on a hot pan, his mind was a mess and he didn't know where to start for a while.
Fortunately, Ye Xuwen was by her side. He stayed by her side when she was panicked and arranged for his men to investigate who were the people who appeared in the jewelry store with Xin Wei that day.
By the time Fengming and the others received the news and rushed to Minglin Temple, they had already guessed that Xin Wei must have been taken away by Bai Baozhu.
When they heard the news, everyone was stunned for a moment. Their focus had always been on Sheng Jicheng. Moreover, ever since Bai Baozhu was taught a lesson by Feng Ming in Jiangnan Pavilion, she had been staying at home obediently waiting to get married. She never left the house and never made any trouble. Her presence was so low that Feng Ming almost forgot that, in fact, for her, Bai Baozhu should be the most important person to deal with.
But fortunately, when they almost forgot about her, she jumped out and made trouble again, so don't blame them for not letting her go.
After bribing the coachman who drove Xin Wei's carriage that day with a large sum of money, he found out that it was not Xin Wei's intention to stop at the jewelry store that day. It was Sheng Jicheng who arranged for him to deliberately stop at the door of Jinlou, and then the follower who was responsible for taking care of Xin Wei took Xin Wei into Jinlou.
Afterwards, he drove the empty carriage for a walk outside the city, and then returned to Prince Mu Yun's Mansion. As for what happened after Xin Wei entered the Golden Building, it has not been investigated yet.
