Shangguan Qinghe and Baili Ye checked the surveillance footage together.

In the Sky Prison, after Shangguan Yi received the note, he sat very calmly on the bed in the cell. A few bundles of weeds were spread on the bed. Shangguan Yi was not affected at all. He closed his eyes as if he was asleep.

However, only he himself knew that his heart had been churning for a long time.

In the surveillance footage, Shangguan Yi's expression seems calm, but in fact it hides deep calculations.

Shangguan Qinghe stared at the screen, frowned slightly, and said softly:

“Looking at his expression, he must be very confident in what he has in his hands. He feels that these are his support.

At least before he leaves Daxia, his accomplices will be afraid because they don’t have evidence.”

Baili Ye looked stern and nodded:

"Shangguan Yi has worked hard for so many years and has many complicated relationships.

The evidence of his conspiracy and violation of law and order is sufficient to convict him, and what remains is to find evidence against his lackeys."

The two continued to check the surveillance, trying to find more clues from Shangguan Yi's words and actions.

Suddenly, a mysterious figure appeared in the picture. The person was wearing a black robe, and his face was covered by shadows, so his true appearance could not be seen clearly.

Shangguan Qinghe and Baili Ye looked at each other. This man looked like the eldest son of King Rui.

The two were guessing in their minds when they saw Shangguan Xiao asking the jailer to open the cell door. He walked into the cell carrying a food box.

"Your Highness Prince Yi, oh no, it should be Shangguan Yi, your experience this time is not what our palace wants.

We have been close friends for many years, and now we are about to part ways. This prince has brought some food to see you off."

Shangguan Yi opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

"Haha, Your Highness is really thoughtful. However, even though I have ended up like this, there are still people who come to see me off. Please thank King Rui for me."

Shangguan Yi said in a calm tone.

Shangguan Xiao placed the lunch box on the table, slowly opened it, and said with a smile:

"This is your favorite dish that I specially asked the chef to prepare. Your Highness Prince Yi, please enjoy it." Shangguan Xiao said.

Shangguan Yi took a look at the food on the table and sneered:

"I appreciate your kindness. I just had a meal and haven't digested it yet. Why don't you put it aside and eat it later?"

Shangguan Xiao said:

"That's fine. Father has sent someone to your residence tonight to look for the account books.

Don't worry, once we get the account books, father will ensure that you leave Daxia safely."

After saying that, Shangguan Xiao sneered and left the Heavenly Prison.

Here, Shangguan Xiao caught a mouse and fed it the food in the food box. After a while, the little mouse kicked its four legs a few times and died completely.

When Shangguan Yi witnessed this scene, his face suddenly turned gloomy, and a trace of astonishment and anger flashed in his eyes.

He bit his lip and murmured in a low voice: "Prince Rui, what a cruel method, Shangguan Xiao, how dare you do this!"

His seemingly calm expression was broken, his fists were clenched tightly, and veins bulged on the back of his hands.

Then, Shangguan Yi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

His eyes became sharp and he began to think about how to deal with the situation.

He knew very well that Shangguan Xiao's move was undoubtedly to find the account books and then kill him to prevent future troubles.

After calming down, Shangguan Yi did not panic. He sneered and said to himself:

"Shangguan Xiao, do you think you can get rid of me like this? It's not that easy!"

At this moment, a figure fell silently into the shadow behind Shangguan Yi.

He stepped forward and reported quietly: "Prince Rui's Mansion sent people to the palace to look for the account books. Our secret guards were no match for them and lost to them."

Shangguan Yi was furious: "What did you say? A bunch of rubbish, the account book fell into their hands?"

Seeing his master so angry, the man quickly said, "They searched around and found it and left. I went to check again, and the secret room and study were empty. There was nothing left."

Shangguan Yi's pupils shrank, he stepped forward, grabbed his collar and asked:

"You mean to say that the account books, correspondence, and other things in the study and the secret room are gone?"

After hearing this, the visitor lowered his head and said timidly, "Yes."

Shangguan Yi asked coldly, "Who took it? Go check it for me. You must get it back before we leave tomorrow, otherwise I will hold you responsible."

"Master, those things seem to have disappeared out of thin air. Even the goshawk is nowhere to be found."

Shangguan Yi was furious. He gritted his teeth and said:

"No matter what method you use, I just want the result. Send someone to the south to clean up the mountain first to prevent any trouble."

"Yes."

"Go."

After receiving the order, the man left in a hurry. Shangguan Yi paced back and forth in the cell, his anxiety growing stronger.

He knew very well the importance of those account books, correspondence and other things. They were the key to his life and the capital for his future comeback.

Now that these things are missing, his situation has undoubtedly become more dangerous and more difficult.

At the same time, Shangguan Qinghe and Baili Ye continued to stare at the surveillance footage.

"It seems that things are more complicated than we thought. Let's hand over the evidence we found to the emperor and let him make the arrangements.

After all, we don’t know where the mountain Shangguan Yi just mentioned is, and we have to let the emperor arrange the follow-up matters.”

Shangguan Qinghe frowned and said.

"Okay, let's go." Baili Ye said.

The two of them came to the imperial study together, where the emperor and the prince were both there.

They handed over all the account books and evidence they had recovered from Shangguan Yi's mansion to Shangguan Chengwei.

And reported to him everything he saw on the surveillance footage.

When the emperor saw the evidence and the transactions in the account books, he was furious. He slammed the table and said:

"How can this be! This unfilial son is indeed not as good as his own son. He actually joined forces with King Rui to rebel."

Shangguan Qinghe comforted her and said:

"Grandfather, don't be too angry. Anyway, now we know who is involved in the case. We just need to follow the rules and disrupt their plan."

Baili Ye nodded and agreed, "Yes, fortunately everything is in time. Xiaohe and I don't know the situation in Daxia. Shangguan Yi just asked his men to go to the south to deal with the situation on the mountain. We have to arrange for someone to follow up."

After Shangguan Chengwei heard this, his face became very solemn.

After thinking for a moment, he said:

"This matter is indeed something that we cannot take lightly. I will send someone I trust to follow up and handle it.

Shangguan Yi, Prince Rui and their gang dared to commit treason, which is a heinous crime and must not be forgiven lightly. "

Shangguan Qinghe and Baili Ye said in unison:

"Grandfather Huang is wise and wise."

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

Shangguan Chengwei continued, “Prince, the most urgent task right now is to ensure the stability of the court.

Father has given you three thousand Jingwei troops. Tonight, secretly arrest the officials on the list. Do not make too much noise and cause panic."

"Yes, Father."

Then the emperor shouted, "Where is Gao Bin?"

Instantly a figure appeared: "I am here."

"Go and follow Shangguan Yi's men. If I'm not mistaken, the mountain he's talking about is Shadow Mountain."

"Yes, I obey!"

Gao Bin came and went without a trace, and disappeared as soon as he responded.
