After the waiters from Yun's Restaurant left the restaurant, Jiang Qu went to follow the suspicious Niu Er.

Niu Er came to the street and looked around furtively.

Jiang Qu thought to himself that this must be correct, it must be the thief who released the rat.

Seeing that no one was following him, Niu Er turned into a sparsely populated street, gradually reached the West Street District and entered the gambling house.

Jiang Qu became interested. Was he going to connect with someone?

If she is caught red-handed, Miss Feng will be able to turn things around.

Jiang Qu followed in.

Niu Er walked upstairs and entered the room. Jiang Qu went to catch him, but he kicked the door open and saw Niu Er fighting crickets with someone.

Jiang Qu was very upset. This guy was so cautious, but he actually came to the gambling house to bet on crickets.

He grabbed Niu Er's clothes and asked:

"Tell me, who ordered you to release the rat?"

Niu Er was confused. Seeing that it was Prince Rong's personal guard, he was almost scared out of his wits and stammered for mercy:

"Sir, it wasn't me. I explained that I was going to get something. If I have done anything to let the restaurant down, I will be struck by lightning and die. Sir, it really wasn't me. Please let me go.

And, sir, why are you here? Have you been following me all the way? Sir, do you want to play a few games?"

Invite him to cricket fighting?

Jiang Qu almost spat out a mouthful of blood, threw Niu Er away, and said angrily:

"With your IQ, you can't do such a thing as coming to the gambling room to fight crickets. Keep playing, silly boy."

After scolding Niu Er, Jiang Qu returned to the palace angrily.

He gained nothing, but the other person who followed him at night was attacked shortly after he went out.

Xu Mei was accused by Niu Er of having been to the rice warehouse, and after leaving the restaurant, she walked home with her head down.

As soon as she reached an alley, two men in black appeared and blocked her way.

Xu Mei turned around and tried to run, but two more people blocked the entrance to the alley.

Xu Mei retreated in fear:

"What are you doing? I put the mouse into the rice jar as you instructed. Do you want to kill me to silence me?"

The man didn't listen to her at all and approached. Xu Mei couldn't persuade him and shouted in fear:

"Help, someone is going to kill someone, help!"

The man in black raised his sword and rushed towards her!

Xu Mei thought she was going to die.

Suddenly, a black shadow fell from the sky and shot out several hidden weapons. When the men in black were avoiding the hidden weapons, they grabbed Xu Mei and took her out of the alley.

Xiao Yu sat in the yard:

"The people who went to deal with it haven't come back yet?"

Zhang Zhen frowned: "She is just a powerless woman. It is not difficult to deal with her. She should be back soon."

As soon as the two men finished speaking, the four men came back.

"Sir, that woman surnamed Xu was kidnapped. It was because of my subordinates' incompetence. Please punish them."

Hearing that someone was robbed, Zhang Zhen said angrily:

"Who kidnapped him?"

The four of them lowered their heads and dared not look at Xiao Yu. One of them said:

"He is a masked man with great martial arts skills, but he might be Miss Feng's man..."

Zhang Zhen: "Bullshit! How could Feng Qingluan find out about Xu Mei so quickly? Does she have a martial arts expert like that?"

They investigated Feng Qingluan, and found that the most powerful subordinate around her was the guard named Xue.

But he had been in the restaurant the whole time, so it was impossible that he was the one who rescued Xu Mei.

Several of his men were terrified:

"Sir, I failed in my duty. I am willing to atone for my sins. Please give me another chance."

Before they could finish their words, a cold light flashed before their eyes, and the man who was speaking had a bone nail stuck in his neck. Blood splattered, and he fell to the ground dead with his eyes wide open.

Seeing this, the other three lowered their heads even more, fearing that they would be the next to be killed.

Xiao Yu said: "It's not Feng Qingluan's, it's Prince Rong's."

Xiao Yu didn't expect that Xie Jin would leave the capital tomorrow and leave him such a mess.

Xiao Yu said:

"Send someone to keep an eye on Prince Rong's mansion and find a chance to kill that woman!"

Early the next morning, Xie Jin set out for Minzhou to provide disaster relief.

In the next few days, Feng Qingluan collected evidence.

On this day, Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Hou Zhizhi led people to Prince Jing's Palace.

"Sixth Prince, there is new progress in the Yun's Restaurant hygiene inspection case. Miss Feng sued the Sixth Prince's people for planning the case. Please ask your people to come with us."

Xiao Yu's people were taken away.

Prince Jing also knew about this. Xiao Yu lived in his house, and since the guest was involved in a lawsuit, he went to take a look as the host.

When they arrived at Jingzhao Prefecture, Feng Qingluan had already arrived.

When he saw Feng Qingluan again, the smile on Xiao Yu's face became even more sinister.

Ji Shao of the Imperial Food Department saw Prince Jing coming and stood up to greet him:

"Your subordinate pays respect to His Royal Highness Prince Jing."

Xie Ji smiled and said:

"Master Ji, I am here to listen to the trial. You can do whatever you want to do and just pretend that I am not here."

Ji Shao: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Feng Qingluan stood in the hall.

She was suing Xiao Yu's men for bribing the people at Yun's Restaurant to release rats into the kitchen.

The trial began, and Hou Zhizhi slammed the gavel:

"Feng Qingluan, you said someone asked Xu Mei to throw a mouse into Mili to frame the Yun's Restaurant. Do you have any evidence?"

Just as Hou Zhizhi asked this question, a report came from outside:

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu has arrived."

Everyone looked out the door.

Xie Yan walked in from the main door.

He took over all the duties of Crown Prince Xie Heng and held an extraordinary status.

Seeing Xie Yan, Xiao Yu’s face darkened.

Send off Xie Jin, and there is another Xie Yan.

Although Xie Yan and Feng Qingluan divorced, he still had feelings for her.

When Feng Qingluan was framed at the palace banquet before, he argued with reason and also strongly protected Feng Qingluan's marriage.

In fact, Xie Yan was also a strong rival for him in the competition for Feng Qingluan.

Seeing Xie Yan walk over and sit down opposite him, Xie Ji sneered:

"King Chu, why are you here? This is none of your business, right? Are you here to help the former Princess Chu?"

Xie Yan said coldly: "King Jing, please don't worry about this. Sir Ji, continue."

Xie Yan's eyes have been on Feng Qingluan since he came in.

There has never been a break in the turmoil surrounding this woman.

Xie Jin is not in the capital, so he will be the one to protect Feng Qingluan from being harassed by that lunatic Xiao Yu during this period of time.

Because there was a problem in a restaurant, two princes came to sit in the hall.

Hou Zhizhi and Ji Shao felt uneasy. Hou Zhizhi said:

"Ms. Feng, do you have any evidence for the question just now?"

Feng Qingluan said: "Yes, bring Xu Mei up."

Xu Mei is one of the maids in the kitchen who is responsible for cooking.

Xu Mei walked up and knelt on the ground.

Feng Qingluan said: "Who instructed you to do this? Point out the person."

Seeing Xu Mei, Zhang Zhen half-squinted his eyes, and saw Xu Mei pointing at him without hesitation:

"Sir, he came to me three days ago and gave me a hundred taels of silver, asking me to go into the kitchen and throw the rat into the rice jar after 9:00 p.m. the day before yesterday. Here is the silver note."

She took out the silver bills and placed them on a tray, and a bailiff brought the tray to the hall.

Hou Zhizhi looked at Zhang Zhen:

"Zhang Zhen, Xu Mei testified that you ordered her to frame Yun's Restaurant. Do you plead guilty?"

Zhang Zhen strode to the hall and said in a deep and loud voice:

"My Lord, I don't admit it! She said it was me who ordered it, right? She randomly pointed to another person, did that person also order her? Big sister, do you have evidence or witnesses? If not, I will sue you for slander!"
