If King Yao doesn't punish him properly, he won't be able to explain it to him.
"Qingyang gave you the account book just to force you to express your position. If you are indifferent, she might expose this matter at the King's Shoudian during this trip to Tianshui City." At that time, it was King Yao who accompanied Xue Zongwu.
Let's be embarrassed together.
"Besides, are you sure Qingyang only caught this sore part of your foot?"
Xue Zongwu said nothing with a sullen face.
The Shuangxi account book is just a trivial matter. If Qingyang only caught this piece of evidence, he wouldn't feel any pain at all.
But, would Qingyang be so gentle? She was just afraid that Shuangxi was just the tip of the iceberg for her to attack!
Qi Yunsheng also sighed, "How are you sure she didn't collect other evidence and wait to kill you? One of her most powerful confidants, He Yang, also appeared in Mangzhou three days ago. I sent someone
Followed him, but was quickly dumped."
He Yang? Xue Zongwu knew what he meant:
The lost account book may have been sent in by this person named He.
Besides, what else does He Yang do in Mangzhou? There are also many dignitaries gathered here. Is there any Qingyang target among them?
Qi Yunsheng continued: "If she wants to intimidate the court, she must establish her authority properly. She will no longer be an insignificant figure like Huang Liushou, but..."
Needless to say, Xue Zongwu's face was as dark as water.
No matter who is used as a target or used as a chicken to scare the monkeys, they will not be happy.
"So, what should I do?"
Just as Qi Yunsheng was about to speak, a pecking sound suddenly came from outside the door.
"master?"
Both of them recognized that it was Butler Yu's voice.
The first housekeeper is solely responsible for organizing the banquet tonight, and everyone is extremely busy. As the second housekeeper in the house, Housekeeper Yu has to temporarily take over many daily tasks.
As a junior, Xue Zongwu stood up and opened the door. He saw two guards standing at the door. Butler Yu stood between them and saluted him: "Uncle."
Qi Yunsheng was a little unhappy and asked in the study: "What's the matter?"
"The old lady has returned to Fanghua Hall. She said she is feeling unwell. Please come over."
Qi Yunsheng is sixty-two years old this year. His mother is still alive and she just celebrated her eightieth birthday last year. The old lady has a strong body and originally liked such lively scenes. However, in the past six months, she has been uncharacteristically unwilling to see outsiders.
Qi Yunsheng immediately stood up and said to Xue Zongwu: "You wait here for a while, I'll be back as soon as I can."
He has superb medical skills and does not use artificial hands to treat patients.
Xue Zongwu also stood up: "My father-in-law and I went to visit the old lady."
"You wait here, I'll come back as soon as I go." Qi Yunsheng knew that his mother was not sick, but was just having a bad temper. How could she let her son-in-law follow her and watch her?
Xue Zongwu mentioned this just out of etiquette, and of course he would not insist on it.
Qi Yunsheng walked out of the study, Butler Yu lowered his head slightly and followed him closely.
Xue Zongwu could still hear the conversation between the two coming from the garden: "What's wrong with the old lady?"
"The old lady said she was dizzy, short of breath, and had difficulty breathing..."
Xue Zongwu walked a few steps in the study and felt that Butler Yu was a little dull and not as attentive as usual.
However, the state of living people is good and bad, and their emotions are ups and downs. Who knows what happened to Butler Yu these days, and Xue Zongwu didn't bother to think about it.
Butler Yu's heavy footsteps hadn't completely disappeared, and Qi Yunsheng hadn't walked out of the garden. Xue Zongwu couldn't wait to flip through the account books on the table.
Is this account book really sent by Qingyang? Once Qingyang threatens it, how should I respond?
Do you want to make excuses?
Or is it a limited compromise with Qingyang?
Xue Zongwu was undecided.
He has held great power in recent years and has been going smoothly, but his opponent is Qingyang, an old witch who has been calling the shots in Bejia for nearly three decades!
If the evidence Qingyang has is just a bit of corruption in the state accounts, King Yao will not really do anything to him even though he will be displeased.
But looking at the few officials Qingyang had reported earlier, they would have done nothing if they didn't take action. Once they did, they would strike with precision, attack the enemy's vital points, and in accordance with the law and punishment, they would be able to conclude major crimes and serious crimes.
Xue Zongwu himself was vague about what he had done, but now he was a little worried that Qingyang would remember it more clearly than he did.
There is only one kind of person who is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, and that is not him.
what to do?
He Yang recently appeared in Mangzhou. In addition to secretly delivering the account books, did he also come to collect evidence of the Qi family? Everyone familiar with the matter knows that if Xue Zongwu is the backbone, his roots are rooted in the Qi family!
He could smell the ominous approach.
…
But Xue Zongwu didn't notice that his two hundred elite soldiers stayed outside Xiaotaoshan Villa.
The deputy general and personal guards were also left outside the Yangxin Hall.
A few breaths ago, even my father-in-law Qi Yunsheng walked away.
He Lingchuan's careful planning peeled off the protective forces around him layer by layer like peeling an onion. Now, Xue Zongwu himself is the only one left in the hall!
And as soon as Qi Yunsheng left, he immediately turned back and touched the account book on the case.
Xue Zongwu was so confused that he didn't even realize that his back was to the window.
The lattice windows of the Yangxin Hall are wide open, fragile and beautiful.
The sky began to rain again, as fine as freshly sifted flour.
This was the opportunity carefully planned by He Lingchuan.
The time and place are just right.
Hidden in the dark, He Lingchuan held his breath, his body as silent as a stone, but his essence, energy, and spirit had already been accumulated to their optimal state.
On your opponent's territory, you must be quick, steady, accurate and ruthless to kill Xue Zongwu!
The first strike is crucial.
He Lingchuan gathered strength with his feet and was about to break through the window; he grasped with his right hand and the Fusheng knife was ready at any time, and he was full of energy.
Just waiting for a shocking blow!
But at this moment——
…
Just as Xue Zongwu turned to the red-lined part of the account book, there was a loud noise outside, deafening:
Boom!
Enemy attack? He subconsciously grabbed his weapon, took two steps back, raised his head again, and saw the flames soaring into the sky to the west.
exploded!
And the scale is not small.
This is Qi Yunsheng's villa, and it is full of guests. How could such an accident happen during a banquet with guests?
After the fire, thick smoke billowed into the sky.
There was a lot of movement, and it looked like it was quite destructive.
Needless to say, there was an immediate commotion in the villa. From such a distance, Xue Zongwu could still hear the exclamations and footsteps coming from far and near, and someone loudly made arrangements: "Go quickly, send someone quickly..."
Xue Zongwu's bodyguards were originally waiting in the garden. When they heard the sound, they rushed over: "General?"
Qi Yunsheng was about to walk out of the garden when there were explosions everywhere. Instead, he hurried back in two steps and said in a deep voice: "Follow me!"
Neither the master nor the disciple are panic-stricken. When encountering such an accident, the first thing they do is to deal with the problem immediately and at the same time, they have one thought in mind:
Who was this explosion directed at?
Is it directed at Qi Mansion, Xue Zongwu, or other dignitaries in the villa?
It is true that Xue Zongwu has a vicious reputation, but Qi Yunsheng is not a good gentleman either. There are so many officials in the villa, how can there be no enemies?
