Please stop imagining things, I'm such a good person

Yuan Mansion.

After washing up, Yuan Qingfeng, the Minister of Rites, was about to rest when the housekeeper knocked on his door.

"Enter!"

The butler pushed open the door and walked in, respectfully taking out a letter.

"Master, there is an old man outside the door, saying he wants to hand this letter to you."

"The concierge wanted to drive him away, but he said that there was something important in the letter, and if they didn't pass it on, it would delay your important business, sir."

"The concierge was unsure, so he came to me with the letter."

Yuan Qingfeng frowned slightly, "Bring the letter to me."

The butler immediately presented the letter.

"Master, please take a look. If he is a liar, I will have the servants send him away right away."

Yuan Qingfeng opened the envelope and just after reading the first line, his casual expression immediately became solemn.

After finishing reading the letter, Yuan Qingfeng stood up suddenly, his breathing becoming heavy, "Where is the person who delivered the letter?"

The housekeeper was startled and immediately said, "I will invite him here right away!"

"Go!"

Yuan Qingfeng's eyes sparkled. If what was said in the letter was true...

Not long after, the old servant Uncle He was brought in.

Yuan Qingfeng got straight to the point, "Who asked you to deliver the letter?"

Uncle He said, "He's my young master!"

"Your young master is..."

"My young master is the son-in-law of the Yang family. This letter was given to me by my young master to deliver to you!"

son in law?

Yuan Qingfeng immediately locked onto Zhao Chenxi in his mind.

He also knew the son-in-law of the Yang family. If the letter came from him, then it would be credible.

However, the content of the letter was too shocking, so Yuan Qingfeng had to be cautious.

"Did your young master tell me the origin of this letter? And why did he ask you to come to me?"

Uncle He shook his head, "Sir, the young master only asked me to deliver the letter and didn't tell me anything else."

Yuan Qingfeng frowned. If he was not sure whether the contents of the envelope were true or not, he would not dare to present it to His Majesty rashly.

If it was a drama staged by the son-in-law and the Yang family, he would end up getting himself into trouble.

While Yuan Qingfeng was weighing the pros and cons, Uncle He spoke again.

"Sir, when the young master came to see me today, he also told me something."

"He said this matter was of great importance, concerning his life and death, and told me to come back in the evening and to give you the letter!"

Yuan Qingfeng didn't say anything. Judging from the son-in-law's performance, there was probably no problem, but he also had to be careful that this was a trap set for him.

In the letter, the son-in-law asked him to report to the emperor during the court session. After seeing the letter, His Majesty would conduct a strict investigation into the Yang family, and the son-in-law's safety would be guaranteed.

But if the letter is false, it would be a false accusation. With the power of the Yang family, he would at least be exiled and stay away from the court.

In more serious cases, he might not even be able to keep his official uniform.

As his thoughts raced, Yuan Qingfeng already had a plan.

Why should I listen to that son-in-law? I will meet Your Majesty alone after the court is dismissed tomorrow and present the letter then.

If it is true, then the Yang family will be confiscated and exterminated. If it is false, there will be no punishment.

As for the life or death of that son-in-law...what does it have to do with me!

Thinking of this, Yuan Qingfeng spoke up, "I know about this matter, Yuan De, send him out."

The butler immediately extended his hand, "Please."

After walking out of Yuan’s house, Uncle He returned along the same route, but suddenly his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.

Yang Suwen carried Uncle He and quickly returned to the Yang Mansion.

In the study, Yang Suwen said, "Master, you guessed right, the servant really went out."

Yang Ke's face was gloomy. "Who did you meet?"

"He met Yuan Qingfeng, the Minister of Rites. At first, the gatekeeper of Yuan's mansion did not let him in, but he took out a letter from his arms, and soon after, he was approached by someone in Yuan's mansion."

Yang Ke's heart sank immediately. He actually didn't think Zhao Chenxi had the courage to eavesdrop on his conversation. When Zhao Chenxi went out today, he asked Yang Suwen to keep an eye on the bookstore just to be on the safe side.

I didn't expect that I actually caught a ghost.

"And the servants?"

"Master, he is locked in a dark room."

Yang Ke's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "Go and take the son-in-law to the dark room!"

"Yes!" Yang Suwen took the order and left.

After he left, Yang Ke suddenly slammed his palm on the table.

"Damn it!"

The matter he was planning with the Kong family was too important, so he didn't tell anyone. Therefore, Yang Suwen didn't know about it. Otherwise, he could have stopped the old servant before he went to Yuan's house.

Yang Ke felt regretful in his heart. He should have listened to Kong Dongliu at that time and directly killed that traitor!

There is no other way now, we can only do it once and for all...

Yang Ke's face was grim, "Yuan Qingfeng, this is your fate!"

In the dark room, Zhao Chenxi looked at the sleeping Uncle He in horror.

Seeing this scene, how could he not know that he had been exposed.

Deep fear overwhelmed him like a tide.

"killed!"

Yang Ke pointed his finger, and Yang Suwen immediately drew his knife and stepped forward, chopping off Uncle He's head with one blow.

"Chi~"

Bright red blood splattered three feet high, and Uncle He lost his head in his sleep.

Zhao Chenxi was terribly frightened. As he stepped back in fear, his crotch became wet, and a faint smell of urine mixed with blood filled the dark room.

"Father-in-law! I know I was wrong!"

"I didn't mean to eavesdrop!"

"I promise that I will not tell anyone about this, and I will not step out of the room from today on!"

"Father-in-law, please forgive me!"

Zhao Chenxi kowtowed repeatedly, and did not dare to stop even though his forehead was bruised.

Yang Ke ignored him and said coldly, "Leave his body intact."

Yang Suwen had a piece of rope in his hand, and with a grim smile he put it around Zhao Chenxi's neck.

Zhao Chenxi struggled frantically, but how could a weak scholar like him be a match for a warrior?

The rope was tightly around Zhao Chenxi's neck, and as Yang Suwen exerted force, he began to suffocate.

"Yang Ke! I have already told Master Yuan Qingfeng about this. If you let me go, there is still room for this matter. Otherwise, the entire Yang family will be buried with me!"

Seeing that begging for mercy was futile, Zhao Chenxi threatened loudly again.

Yang Ke sneered, "Don't worry, you go first, I will send him down to accompany you!"

Under the candlelight, Yang Ke's face looked extremely gloomy and terrifying.

Zhao Chenxi’s eyes suddenly widened. He actually dared... He actually dared!

As Yang Suwen exerted his strength, Zhao Chenxi's consciousness began to blur, and soon he became a corpse.

Yang Ke was silent for a while and then said, "Clean him, change his clothes, and hang him in the room."

"As for this servant...let him sink into the river."

"Yes!"

Yang Suwen put the two bodies into the storage ring and walked out of the dark room.

......

In the second half of the night, a group of men in black quietly sneaked into Yuan's mansion.

The leader threw out a formation flag and led his men to charge in.

There are experts among the Yuan Mansion’s guards, but they are no match for this group of masked men in black.

Soon, with the death of the only two fourth-level warriors, everyone in Yuan’s mansion was slaughtered.

During this period, the sounds of shouting and crying for help, as well as the leaked energy from the battle, were all trapped in Yuan's mansion.

Two incense sticks later, men in black jumped out from the wall of Yuan's mansion.

The leading man in black put away the formation and quickly fled with everyone.

As the formation was removed, a strong smell of blood began to dissipate.

The abnormality in Yuan Mansion soon attracted the attention of the night watchman.

After discovering that the entire family of a third-rank official had been slaughtered, the night watchman immediately cordoned off the scene and passed the news to the palace.
