The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

In the following days, the entire capital was shrouded in an atmosphere of panic. In the streets, alleys, teahouses and restaurants, people were talking and discussing, and their eyes were often cast towards the ministers' mansions with their doors tightly closed.

Every day, people would witness some ministers being forcibly taken away from their homes by the ferocious imperial guards. Although these ministers were not high-ranking officials of the first or second rank, they all held crucial positions in their respective departments. For a time, everyone in the court was worried that they would be the next one to be taken away.

At the same time, Xiao Jingyan, who was in the prison, was extremely worried. Since the day when he was arrested by the imperial guards without explanation, no one has cared about him. No officials came to interrogate him, and no jailer took care of him. He could only stay alone in this dark and damp cell, silently enduring the torment.

As time went by, the number of people imprisoned in the prison continued to increase. What frightened Xiao Jingyan was that most of these newcomers had more or less contact with him. At this moment, he finally realized: it turned out that Mu Jiuchen had already obtained irrefutable evidence before arresting him! However, he really couldn't guess how much evidence the other party had obtained against him. If the fatal thing was completely exposed, would the person who had been secretly supporting him still come to the rescue? Thinking of this, Xiao Jingyan couldn't help but sweat, and his heart became more and more uncertain...

Xiao Jingyan was born into a poor family and knew the hardships of life from a young age. However, with his intelligence and hard work, he finally stood out in the imperial examination, was able to enter the prosperous capital, and gradually became famous.

But Xiao Jingyan knew that if he wanted to gain a foothold in the capital, it was far from enough to rely on this fame. Just when he was confused and lost, he was fortunate to meet the little princess Mu Wan through amazing guidance. At first, they were just nodding acquaintances, but as time went on, Xiao Jingyan deliberately approached Mu Wan step by step, trying to enter her world.

After unremitting efforts, Xiao Jingyan finally succeeded in winning Mu Wan's heart and became an enviable prince consort. He thought he would be able to rise to prominence from now on, but reality dealt him a heavy blow. In the days after marriage, despite the blessing of the aura of the prince consort's identity, because he was always behind Mu Wan, his career did not achieve major breakthroughs and changes as expected.

Just when Xiao Jingyan was in distress, his fate took a turn for the better. One day, a mysterious person came to him quietly and expressed his willingness to help him get out of trouble and lead him to the core of power. So, under the guidance of this person, Xiao Jingyan began to carefully explore the field full of temptations and dangers.

As he got to know more about the power center, Xiao Jingyan gradually realized a profound truth: for a man, only by mastering power and wealth at the same time can he truly dominate his life and realize his ambitions and ideals. At this moment, he has already embarked on this road of pursuing power and wealth. How the future will develop is still unknown...

So, he maliciously encouraged Mu Wan to take over the affairs of the Charity Bureau. You know, the Ministry of Revenue allocates a considerable amount of money to the Charity Bureau every year, as much as 50,000 taels! As time went by, through some means and operations, he gradually accumulated some wealth. However, as greedy as he was, this little profit was obviously far from satisfying his appetite.

At this moment, the man with ulterior motives gave him another suggestion: "Look, those children do nothing all day long. It's not good to just eat and drink for free! Besides, they are all good-looking. They must pay something to be justified." Then, the man began to enthusiastically introduce many officials to him.

At first, when he informed Xiao Jingyan of the situation of these people, the simple and kind Xiao Jingyan was still confused and full of doubts. But as the days passed, every time those officials swaggered away from the Children's Welfare Bureau, he was always shocked to find that those children who were specially "cared for" and named, except for their faces that were barely intact, were covered with shocking whip marks and scars all over their bodies.

When Xiao Jingyan first saw this horrific scene, he felt a little guilty and self-blame, thinking that he was too cruel and ruthless. However, when the thick banknotes were continuously delivered to him, all the guilt instantly receded like a tide, disappearing without a trace...

Thus, an evil plan began to sprout in his dark heart - to get rid of those ugly children, and send those old and useless guys into the deserted mountains, leaving them to fend for themselves.

During this period, whenever he accepted ill-gotten gains, he would cleverly understand and firmly grasp the special preferences of those officials. In fact, to put it bluntly, he secretly caught the hidden handles of these officials.

As time went by, a mysterious person learned about all this and instructed him to use the evidence he had to threaten those officials, so as to obtain generous rewards in certain specific areas. Gradually, the silver he accumulated in his hands snowballed. However, when the mysterious person proposed to share the wealth with him, he was extremely reluctant. But at this point, he found that he had already been deeply involved and could not extricate himself. Because at this time, he was also threatened by the other party!

In this way, day by day, the mysterious man took more and more money from him. Fortunately, after seven long years, he still kept a secret for himself and quietly recorded every penny taken from him by the mysterious man.

He knew very well that there must be an extremely powerful and terrifying person behind that seemingly ordinary person. However, despite racking his brains to guess and reason, he still couldn't know exactly who this mysterious person was.
