But he was not released as soon as Fu Jichang said.

Apart from the good food, there were two men with knives and sad faces guarding the cell door during the day.

A new group of people came to guard the place at night.

Ji Xiaobei was a little anxious. What was going on outside?

Two days have passed and they have not been brought to trial, and no one has paid any attention to them.

He Ye was placed under house arrest in the mansion.

The residence of the Minister of War is heavily guarded.

The palace was in chaos.

The important official was implicated in the assassination of the emperor, which alarmed the court and the public.

The censors argued passionately in the court and impeached Fu Jichang.

Even his little problems were magnified infinitely.

Minister He was also caught in the crossfire. If it weren't for his past outstanding achievements, he would have been criticized to pieces.

Just then, Eunuch Fu hurried in and whispered a few words into the emperor's ear.

The emperor held his forehead and said, "I feel a little uncomfortable, I need to rest for a while!"

Upon hearing that the emperor was unwell, everyone in the hall fell silent and looked at him worriedly.

"Withdraw from the court, Prince, come here for a moment!"

The Emperor went into the back room.

Li Yunjiong followed in hurriedly.

After the footsteps outside had dispersed, the emperor behind him finally spoke: "The Dali Temple needs to hurry up. I want to find out the truth as soon as possible. Over there..."

The emperor pointed to the thick stack of memorials and said, "Memorials from other prefectures have all arrived. The insect plague is serious!"

"Your Majesty, the people who went to Ye County will be back soon..." Li Yunjiong said with a sad face.

"But, Prince, I heard that Huang Po fell ill on the way..."

Eunuch Fu said in a low voice.

Prince:......

"Also, that Huang Po is the court physician of Ji Xiaobei's family. When she finds out that Ji Xiaobei and the others are imprisoned, will she..."

Eunuch Fu added worriedly.

"Then don't let her know..." the emperor said angrily.

"Well, that's it!"

In fact, Ji Xiaobei had already left the cold storage last night and met Huang Po.

I told Mrs. Huang what had happened.

Mrs. Huang fell ill at that time.

"Father, the day for the people of the Kangju tribe to come to Beijing to pay homage is coming soon..."

Li Yunjiong said, "I think that as long as they arrive in the capital, everything will be clear. The guards who will pick them up are all first-class guards. Please rest assured, father!"

The emperor nodded and said, "Don't let anyone else know."

Li Yunjiong nodded, seeing that the big fish was about to take the bait.

Eunuch Fu looked at the father and son flirting with each other and felt a little puzzled.

Two days later, news secretly reached the palace that the Northern Frontier commander, General Feng, had already set out and was leading his men towards the capital.

That night, Xuyou also sneaked into Mingyi Lane and said something to Fu Jichang in the study.

The capital and even Anzhou seemed to be in a state of depression.

It seemed as if a storm was coming.

Fu Jichang stayed in his study every day, waiting.

It was the night that Tuomu entered the capital.

A group of people wearing exotic costumes successfully passed the defense of the Green Forest Army from Anzhou and entered the official road of the capital.

As soon as they stepped onto the official road, the soldiers who were ambushing on the roadside captured them all.

At this time, General Feng was approaching the capital from another route.

They were ambushed in the north city and all captured.

After a night of fighting, the fields in the north city were flooded with blood. When daybreak came, everything had been cleaned up, leaving only a few faint traces of blood in the grass by the roadside.

When the court was heard early in the morning, all the civil and military officials felt that something was wrong.

Fu Jichang and General Wei stood at the entrance of the hall covered in blood, and all the officials who saw them were shocked.

The palace door opened and a ray of sunlight shone in.

The emperor was already sitting on the dragon throne, wearing a yellow robe and looking solemn.

All officials knelt down and worshiped.

"General Feng, who was stationed in the northern border, led his troops to rebel. His crimes were extremely serious. They were all arrested last night. The criminal Feng Yuhou killed all the adult men in his nine clans, and exiled all the women and children..."

……

Immediately, Ji Xiaobei and Qiu Jiaojiao were released.

Ji Xiaobei and Qiu Jiaojiao looked at each other, wondering what was going on.

The murder case has been solved?

Not far away, two low-key and luxurious carriages were waiting under the tree.

There were two men standing under the tree, looking at the two women walking towards them with smiles on their faces.

Ji Xiaobei and Qiu Jiaojiao looked at each other.

what happened?

Are they both okay?

Ji Xiaobei couldn't help but trot over and asked, "What's going on? Have you found out who the assassin is?"

Fu Jichang smiled and nodded, saying, "Let's go back first!"

Ji Xiaobei was an impatient person. He pulled Fu Jichang's sleeve and asked what was going on.

He Ye had already pulled Jiaojiao into another carriage.

"No, tell me what's going on? Otherwise I won't leave!"

Ever since Ji Xiaobei came into this world, she believed that nothing could be hidden from her.

This time I was kept in the dark.

Fu Jichang: Why can’t you be like Qiu Jiaojiao and just get on the carriage without asking any questions?

Ji Xiaobei: Then I am not Ji Xiaobei!

After getting on the carriage, Fu Jichang briefly recounted what had happened.

It took Ji Xiaobei a while to react before he realized:

"That is to say, you and the emperor knew long ago that General Feng was suspected of treason, so you caused chaos in the court, and you also hired the assassin?"

"Yes, the assassins were arranged in advance to make Feng Yuhou mistakenly believe that the barbarians from the Western Frontier were causing chaos. He thought that everyone's attention was on the barbarians from the Western Frontier. You and Miss Jiaojiao had contact with the barbarians from the Western Frontier. He thought that the emperor would not trust me and Lord He, so General Feng took advantage of the opportunity... The Green Forest Army pretended to be lax in defense and deliberately let him enter the official road of the capital, proving that he was committing a rebellion... and then caught him in one fell swoop..."

Ji Xiaobei: …

She felt that what Fu Jichang said was right, but she seemed to have something else to ask.

"Then, pointing Princess Yulin to you is also a trap..." Ji Xiaobei asked.

When he heard her question, a hint of surprise flashed in Fu Jichang's dark eyes.

"Yes, they are all fake..."

Ji Xiaobei: …

She couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Princess Yulin, who was actually being used by her father.

"Princess Yulin might be betrothed to Tuomu!"

Fu Jichang said.

Ji Xiaobei: Ah…

My God, Princess Yulin sounds like a pure and innocent woman, and she is going to marry Tuomu.

She thought of Tomu with his big nose, big eyes and big mouth...

There is a big gap between the two...

Fu Jichang noticed that Ji Xiaobei's expression was not right and said:

"The princesses can't escape this fate in the end. As members of the royal family, they have been pampered since childhood. When they grow up, they have no choice but to make contributions to the Great Northern Dynasty..."

Ji Xiaobei: Just be an ordinary person!

Ji Xiaobei suddenly thought of Huang Po.

She also made Huang Po sick!

"Po Huang...where is Po Huang?" Ji Xiaobei asked.

"Po Huang has gone to the fields in Anzhou with Lord Cao... and Lian Feng is also there..."

Fu Jichang said leisurely.

Ji Xiaobei: …

The two went straight back to Anzhou.

At home in Anzhou, Mrs. Lin and the others were still in a daze.

When they were at a loss of what to do, the guards at the door had already withdrawn.

There was no one at the door.

Curious neighbors dared to knock on their door.

Only then did Shitou realize that the man holding the knife had left.

The Niu family, who came to watch the fun every day, were gloating yesterday, but this morning they found that the guards at the door had left. They were so angry that they wanted to die.

I saw a carriage coming this way from a distance.

They stopped and looked back.

I hope another group of people will come and surround the Ji family. It would be so satisfying if the whole family could be executed.

The carriage stopped in front of the Ji family's door and Ji Xiaobei got out.

The Niu family ran away...
