The emperor received the news early in the morning. After Xiao Heitan left the mountain yesterday, he went straight into the city at night. He went to the Marquis Guanjun's Mansion under cover of darkness and broke the legs of several young masters in the mansion.

Not a single one is left behind.

This operation is really Xiao Heitan, still the same as before, revengeful.

How come he looks so happy?

Little black charcoal, make as much noise as possible, the louder the better. I can only have some free time when the people below are busy.

Anyway, these people's hearts are not on political affairs, so it doesn't matter whether they attend the court or not.

As a result, just after noon, the secret agents reported that all the people who had recently broken into Xiao Heitan's mansion had been poisoned without exception.

Was it Xiao Heitan who did it?

He specially called the people he sent to protect Xiao Heitan to question them. According to them, Xiao Heitan had no time to do these things.

She went to the Marquis Guanjun's Mansion last night, then returned to her own home and has not gone out since.

I just went to Tianxia Diyilou for a stroll this afternoon and then went straight back.

Who lied?

Or has someone else taken action?

Many families were poisoned, and they were all wealthy and powerful. This incident had a great impact.

By the evening, the latest news came from the Dali Temple that the people in these mansions were poisoned because they accidentally ate a kind of poisonous young leaves. These young leaves were a bit like green vegetable leaves, and after being cooked, they were mixed in with the vegetables, making them difficult to distinguish.

This kind of leaf is chronically toxic. One or two doses will not be fatal to a person, and it can cure the disease. However, even after the cure, it will still have some impact on the body's functions to a greater or lesser extent.

What is more puzzling is how these families were able to purchase these poisonous leaves at the same time, and just by coincidence, every family ate them.

I checked all the information I could, but still had no clue.

There is no problem with the source of the vegetables, there is no problem with the transportation process, and everyone who has passed through these vegetables has been checked and found no problems at all.

So, in the end, it became an unsolved case.

The officials have been wondering if Little Black Charcoal has some magical powers? Or maybe because she is blessed by God, so people who cause trouble to her will be inexplicably unlucky?

Shen Ruyi didn't know this. By the time she found out, it was already the next day.

Or was it the young prince who told it to her just for fun and as a joke.

After hearing this, she felt that the poisonous leaf sounded familiar.

They called the Great Sage and asked him about it. Well, it turned out that the culprit was here.

The Great Sage gestured happily, saying that it was he who did it. He asked his younger brothers to pick them and send them to those mansions.

Also asked him if he was smart?

It's smart enough, but a little too smart.

"Great Sage, you have to hide yourself when there are outsiders around. If you are too smart, others will keep an eye on you. I am afraid I can't protect you."

"Don't worry, my Lord. I will punish anyone who wants to harm me. I'm not afraid. I've got some big guys as my little brothers. They're very powerful."

"Great Sage, you don't understand. Military force is not what is more terrifying. What is more terrifying is the human heart and conspiracy.

Remember, keep it when there are outsiders around. Also, don’t tell anyone about the poisonous leaves these days, just us a few people know about it, remember?"

Not to mention others, even the current government, if they knew you had this ability, there would be a high probability that they would not be able to resist and would want to take action.

It couldn't understand what its owner said, and it was a little confused, but the Monkey King still agreed reluctantly.

It knows that its owner will not hurt it. Since the owner has emphasized this, it will listen.

What’s interesting is that no one made a big fuss about looking for or investigating the lost items in the villa.

It was Shen Ruyi's action that caused many households to spontaneously replace their teacups with a new batch.

The servants in the mansion walked more lightly without realizing it, for fear of displeasing their masters and getting into trouble.

At the same time, these mansions also strengthened their defenses, fearing that thieves would come to their homes again.

This group of thieves are so lawless. So many things just disappeared out of thin air. There is not even a wheel mark and no clues.

The most annoying thing is that even though a lot of valuables are missing from my home, I can’t report it to the police and let the government search for them openly.

Because the sources of these things cannot withstand investigation.

When the servants on guard were asked, they knew nothing about anything. They said everything was normal and they didn't know what was going on, and they didn't neglect their duties.

Everything was normal, how did these things get lost? Then, a group of servants suffered again.

With his own efforts, Shen Ruyi directly made the business of the martial arts shops, martial arts halls and escort agencies in the city boom.

The demand for guards in each mansion has also increased.

We can't look for it openly, so we can only send people to look for it secretly.

I would be unwilling to give up if I don't find it. I spent so much effort to save up that little fortune.

But they were all hidden in those villas, originally to leave a way out.

Who knew that it would end up in the mouth of a thief. Whenever I think of this, I feel sick.

Now I think about it, the reason they did this in the first place was because they were scared by the thieves from the Marquis Changning's Mansion.

That's why I thought of the cunning rabbit having three burrows.

Now thinking back, not only did the Changning Marquisate lose valuables, but the Crown Prince also died. Could it be a revenge killing? Rather than simply asking for money.

Otherwise, they would lose their wealth, but they would be fine. Bah, bah, bah, you can't think like that.

Now that I think about it, it seems so wrong. Could it be that the Changning Marquis's Mansion has attracted a bandit?

Otherwise, everything was fine before, but their family had the trouble first. Because of the trouble in Changning Marquis Mansion, they thought that the property should not be left in one place.

It's really a case of being too clever.

Thinking of this, he sent someone out to inquire to see if there was anyone else who had lost property like his own family.

Upon asking around, I found out that many families had lost their things at the same time.

When everyone discussed it, they all had different ideas and practices, so everyone lost something, and not a single family lost anything.

Therefore, they all hated the Changning Marquisate. It was your fault that the thieves were attracted here.

People always like to look for reasons in the outside world.

Start looking for trouble for everyone in Changning Marquis' Mansion.

Therefore, the position of the Crown Prince of the Changning Marquisate has not yet been completely determined.

The Marquis of Changning was impeached in a letter, alleging that he had raped women, killed people to steal treasures, and accepted bribes...

There were piles of evidence, all of which were conclusive, and it gave the officials a headache.

He was directly ordered to be arrested and put in Tianlao to await trial.

He had just promised the Queen Mother to spare Marquis Changning's life, but after seeing these evidences, it seemed difficult to spare Marquis Changning's life.

I was just about to send someone to ask the Queen Mother's opinion whether it would be possible to exchange the lives of other male members of the Changning Marquis' Mansion.

As a result, when the Queen Mother heard the news, she died of anger on the spot.

The official listened to the old witch suddenly die, and was unable to react for a moment or two.
