"No matter what happens tonight, no matter how big the noise is, don't come out." Fu Jingchao warned carefully.
Then he watched Shen Xingwan enter the yard, looked up at the moonlight, and realized that as long as tonight passes, everything will be over.
Shen Xingwan returned to the courtyard without feeling sleepy at all and drank a cup of tea to refresh himself.
"Miss Qi sent a message saying that she is fine at all." Qinghong ordered.
Shen Xingwan breathed a sigh of relief, everything was fine.
It seems that Mo Ju was bribed and used by others.
Dongqing opened the window and stood in front of it, lowering her head and playing with the dagger in her hand. In fact, her ears did not miss the slightest disturbance.
Qinghong learned from last night's lesson and carefully checked the place and room to see if there was anything strange.
Shen Xingwan lowered his head and read a book under the light.
What she didn't know was that after receiving a message from Jinghong Villa, Mo Beichen was riding over with people overnight.
The night is getting deeper and deeper...
"It's flooded! Someone come and put out the fire!"
A faint scream sounded outside, breaking the tranquility of the night.
It’s finally here…
Shen Xingwan stood up, opened the door and stood on the steps in the yard to look out, seeing flames shooting into the sky in the southeast direction of the garden.
"Who lives there?" Shen Xingwan asked in a low voice.
Qinghong carefully examined the direction of the fire and said, "It seems that most of the people living there are Jiangnan officials."
Soon everyone in the manor was alarmed, and even the housekeeper in Shen Xingwan's yard led people out to help put out the fire.
"Slave, are you asking what happened?" Qinghong said.
Shen Xingwan yawned, "Let's talk about it tomorrow. Let's go back to bed."
Shen Xingwan fell asleep peacefully, but some people couldn't sleep.
Mr. Zhou, the censor of the Salt Patrol, looked at the yard that was almost engulfed in flames, his face turned dark and ugly.
"What happened? How could the fire break out?" Mr. Zhou said angrily, "Quickly think of a way to put out the fire. Lu Shang is still inside."
The men under him were trembling, and such a big fireman was probably gone.
After Zhou Da became famous and calmed down, he still felt extremely uneasy. Was this fire really just an accident?
When Lord Zhou came to the main courtyard where the prince lived, the prince had just woken up and was a little surprised to see him coming, "It's so late, why is Lord Zhou here?"
Mr. Zhou bowed and sat down, looking like he was hesitating to speak.
"What happened?" the prince asked impatiently.
"There's a fire in the courtyard again, and my concubine lives there..." Mr. Zhou said hesitantly.
"Why do you feel sorry for Mr. Zhou?" The prince did not take this matter seriously and joked casually.
Master Zhou's face became more and more ugly, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "That concubine is Jiang Qian's daughter..."
"Which Jiang Qian?" The prince narrowed his eyes.
Master Zhou closed his eyes, "The daughter of Jiang Qian, the former largest salt merchant in Jiangnan."
"Pa!" The prince threw the tea cup in his hand to the ground. "Shouldn't the Jiang family suffer revenge from their enemies and be massacred without a single survivor? Why is his daughter alive?"
Of course, she was seduced by beauty. Jiang Qian's daughter Jiang Sang was once the most beautiful woman in the south of the Yangtze River. No one could match her in terms of beauty.
Faced with the pitiful beauty who was hidden away, Mr. Zhou, who was leading the investigation of the case, relented and changed the beauty's name and brought her into his back house.
Mr. Zhou dared to speak in the face of the prince's questioning.
The prince scolded angrily, "Do you have any brains? Others don't know why the whole Jiang family died. Don't you still know?"
Master Zhou also regretted it. Several years had passed, and Jiang Shang, who had become her concubine and renamed Lu Shang, had always acted very gentle and innocent, as if she didn't know anything.
Under the beauty's offensive, Mr. Zhou had long lost his vigilance.
Looking at the angry prince, Mr. Zhou said bravely, "Wei Chen is worried that tonight's leak is not an accident..."
The prince lowered his eyes and thought for a while, "How much does she know about the Jiang family?"
Mr. Zhou shook his head, "I have tried it out, but she is only interested in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She doesn't know anything about the Jiang family..."
"But…"
The prince answered in a low voice, "If what happened tonight is not an accident, then it means that she has been acting again and knows more than we imagined..."
Otherwise, no one would take the risk to plan this trick to get her away...
"See the prince!" The chief guard of the prince's palace came over and knelt down.
The prince said coldly, "What happened?"
The head guard said, "There were secret guards in the garden, but we didn't stop them."
In fact, the opponent's actions were quite careful. When they discovered him, he had already lurked out of the garden and did not confront them head-on.
The prince glanced at Mr. Zhou coldly, "You'd better pray that she doesn't fall into Fu Jingchao's hands."
The prince had an inexplicable premonition that it was Fu Jingchao's human beings who had done it.
And based on his understanding of Fu Jingchao, it is impossible for anyone who is worthy of his efforts to be without value.
"I asked him how could he come to the hunting meeting so easily this time." The prince arrived, not even waiting for him to think of ways to force him to come.
It seems very likely that he came here for the daughter of the Jiang family.
Mr. Zhou regretted it to death. He had known that he would not have brought Lu Shang here. In those days, Lu Shang tried her best to serve him, so he agreed in a moment of weakness.
"Your Highness, what should we do next..." Mr. Zhou said worriedly.
"Plan ahead." The prince finally said.
Fu Jing came to this side and learned that Jiang Shang had been successfully rescued, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
The last link in the evidence chain about Jiangnan salt tax has finally been completed.
Jiang Shang holds very key evidence in his hand, and with the account books obtained from Zhou Meidai, it can basically be over.
Now all that remains is to bring the evidence back to Beijing.
"It's impossible for the Crown Prince and Mr. Zhou to have no reaction at all." A man in Tsing Yi whispered, "Is the Crown Prince really sure of escaping unharmed?"
Fu Jingchao's eyes flashed with coldness, "The emperor is becoming more and more intolerant of the Fu family. We must find something to do for him."
"The prince must be beaten to death." Fu Jingchao said coldly, "I want to see what he will do when facing the prince."
It is said that the most ruthless people are the royal family, so let him add fuel to this drama.
The ambitious prince and the still powerful emperor. He wanted to see who would be more ruthless in a fight.
"If the prince is pulled down, Shengjing will be in chaos again." The man in green said, which would be a good thing for the Fu family.
The more unstable the royal family is, the more stable the Fu family will be.
"It's just time to take a breath." Fu Jingchao said quietly. The emperor's intention to get rid of the Fu family has become more and more obvious in recent years.
"Follow the wind..."
Suifeng immediately appeared quietly in front of Fu Jingchao, and Fu Jingchao said, "Go and keep an eye on Xingwan yourself. Don't let anything happen to her."
"Yes!" Sui Feng took the order and left.
The man in Tsing Yi looked at Fu Jingchao gossiping, "Tsk, tsk, this is the iron tree blooming, the heart of spring has sprouted."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I just treat her like a little sister."
