Ajie clasped his fists in reply.

"After the action here, we have already notified them with the whistle. I guess they are closing in."

The study room of the General's Mansion.

Three quarters of a hour.

After the housekeeper arranged the day's work, he calmly walked to the study with water in his hand.

The study is a sensitive area that ordinary servants are not allowed to enter. The housekeeper has always been responsible for cleaning the room.

Go into the study, put down the water, then turn back and close the study door.

He turned around and ran straight to the bookshelf, moved a few books on the top shelf, took out a few folded papers from his arms, put them on the shelf, and then put the books back in place one by one.

When he put the last book in his pocket, he was held down by a pair of hands like iron pliers, unable to move.

"Butler, what are you doing?"

The butler tried to remain calm.

"No, nothing. I was just cleaning. This book is dusty. I took it down and dusted it."

"Oh? Why didn't I see you dusting?"

Chu Feng reached out and pressed the housekeeper's acupoints, and another secret guard moved the book away and took out the few pieces of paper that the housekeeper had just put there.

"What is this?" Chu Feng took the paper from the secret guard and waved it.

"Don't say you don't know. Chu Ming has been staying in the study, and I followed you in. We saw your every move clearly."

"How do you know?" the butler was surprised.

Chu Feng snorted coldly.

"We not only know about you, but also about the border and the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"How could it be? How could it be possible?"

"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it! The general's family treated you well, but you still had the guts to do it. You are simply not a human being!"

"Everyone is his own master."

The housekeeper saw that the truth was revealed and wanted to bite the poison hidden in his teeth, but Chu Feng directly broke his jaw.

"Want to die? Don't dream on. The general and his men should be back soon. Let the general deal with you."

Chu Ming found a rope, tied up the butler tightly, and threw him out of the study.

This action attracted many servants to watch and discuss. Chu Ruoyan and others also rushed over after hearing the news. When they learned the whole story, they were so angry that they trembled.

"Zheng Youcai, we have never treated you unfairly!

These things are evidence of treason and will lead to bloodshed. Why do you want to frame us like this?"

Nangong Yunxue also came carrying Nangong Jiu.

Nangong Jiu groaned and cursed.

[This damn old man is one of the culprits who caused the general's family to be exterminated. ]

[Looks like a decent human, but does things worse than animals. ]

"Xiao Wang, bite him!"

Xiao Wang followed orders in all his actions, barked a few times at the housekeeper's face with gritted teeth, and then bit the housekeeper's nose, causing blood to flow out immediately.

The butler groaned in pain, his face full of fear.

Half an incense stick later, Nangong Honglie and his son returned home and rushed over quickly after receiving the news.

Chu Ruoyan gritted her teeth in fear: "Husband, he has no conscience..."

"Madam, don't be angry. He is Liu Heng's running dog and works for Liu Heng."

"Killing him and cutting him into pieces will relieve our hatred!"

"Well, I have to interrogate him carefully before I kill him."

The father and son, Chu Feng and others, took the butler to the dungeon.

The study room of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Prime Minister Xue paced back and forth between the desk and the door, clasped his hands together, and muttered to himself.

"May God bless you, may the Buddha bless you, may everything go well..."

Prime Minister Xue sent almost all the people around him out to gather information.

This provided convenience for the secret guards responsible for monitoring it.

The secret guards looked at him with amusement as he prayed to the gods and Buddha, and watched him running around like an ant on a hot pot...

I hope you won't be too disappointed.

The secret guards complained in their hearts and tried hard to control themselves not to make any sound.

Only after hearing the whistle did they smile and pounce at the same time on the mysterious Prime Minister Xue.

"Prime Minister Xue, the Bodhisattva sent us to invite you to the prison."

Prime Minister Xue was shocked: "What are you going to do?"

"Isn't it obvious? I'll arrest you!"

Prime Minister Xue struggled violently: "Restoring to the case? What case? I am the prime minister of this dynasty."

The secret guard twisted his hands behind his back, causing him to scream in pain: "Ouch... let go, let go quickly!"

"We are arresting you, the prime minister! We advise you to cooperate and suffer less. Otherwise, don't blame us if we break your old arms and legs."

Two secret guards escorted Prime Minister Xue, who had become much more obedient, out of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The palace guards then surrounded the Prime Minister's Mansion, making it impossible for anyone to get out.

Li Yulin was so frightened that he was shaking like a sieve.

"It's over!

It's all over now! !

This must have failed, and now I’m even going to lose my life!!!"

The Royal Guards’ headquarters.

Xue Huaian put on his armor and sat at his desk, waiting to receive the news so that he could lead the imperial guards to attack the palace.

After today, the Liu family's empire will become the world of our Xue family.

My son will be the master of that palace, and I myself will achieve my wish.

Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on Xue Huaian's face.

Because I was so absorbed in my thoughts, I didn't notice some subtle changes around me.

A few special whistles sounded, and the secret guards all rushed towards Xue Huaian.

Xue Huaian was a military commander with some experience in martial arts, so when the secret guard pounced on him, he instantly came to his senses and defended himself.

"You reacted pretty quickly! Commander Xue, the emperor wants you to have tea in the prison, come with us!"

"Why did the Emperor look for me, the commander?"

"Won't you know when you go there?"

"What if this commander doesn't?"

"Do you have the right to say no? All the people in the land are subjects of the king."

As he was speaking, the secret guards had already surrounded him.

After all, he was a master from the Imperial Palace. Xue Huaian's kung fu was no match for the secret guards. He was pinned to the ground and unable to move as soon as they started fighting.

Several people quickly pressed his acupoints, tied him up with ropes, and half-supported and half-lifted him to drag him out.

Several generals of the Imperial Guard heard the commotion and came to investigate.

"Who are you?"

"The Emperor's secret guard." A secret guard showed his badge.

"What has Commander Xue done wrong? Why do you treat him like this?"

"Murdering the Emperor and Empress, confusing the royal bloodline!"

The generals were shocked: "What? Did you make a mistake?"

"As the commander of the Imperial Guards, the son of Prime Minister Xue, and the brother of Concubine Xue, would the Emperor easily issue an order without evidence?

Concubine Xue and the eldest prince have been captured, and their crimes are set in stone. I advise you to see the situation clearly and not stand on the wrong side. "

After the secret guards put the man in jail, they went back to report.

"My Lord, Prime Minister Xue has been brought to justice!"

"My Lord, Xue Huaian has been brought to justice!"

Emperor Dong Ling was relieved and gritted his teeth: "Did the arrest process go smoothly?"

"Xue Huaian resisted, and someone from the Imperial Guards asked why he was arrested. I told them the truth."

"Well done! Pass the order to search the Prime Minister's Mansion and the First Prince's Mansion, take all the people from Yigan to jail to await trial, and all nine members of the Xue family to prison."

"Yes!" The secret guard took the order and did it.

Eunuch Wei asked, "Your Majesty, where are the people in Renhe Palace?"
