After coming out of the Ministry of Justice, Shen Jiayu was not in a hurry to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion. She still had her own things to do.

Shen Jiayu was in the carriage, looking at Zhao Yan and said, "Thank you for bringing me here. You must not tell anyone what you just heard."

The two of them were very relaxed when talking in private, without too much restraint, just like friends who had known each other for many years, and Shen Jiayu spoke more casually as well.

Chaoyan has not yet recovered from what happened just now, but she knows that what happened just now is no trivial matter.

"Well, I won't tell anyone, but Qi Binwei and I once made an agreement that as long as one of us wants to ask, we must not lie. If he asks if I heard anything today, I can only tell him."

"There is such a thing..." Shen Jiayu muttered softly, "This is a matter between you two. If he really wants to ask, you should say whatever you should say. Don't be embarrassed. This matter will be known to the world sooner or later."

Maybe after Qi Binwei knows this, it will help advance the development of the plot, which is a good thing.

Chao Yan breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to break her promise. "That's good. I'll take you back home."

Shen Jiayu shook his head. "I still need to buy some things outside. Just stop the carriage at the entrance of the alley ahead and let me get off."

When they reached the entrance of the alley and the carriage stopped, Shen Jiayu said goodbye to Chaoyan. She really had something to buy, but she had to go somewhere else after that.

Not long after, the guards following Shen Jiayu were dealt with by Shen Yi. He just pressed their dizziness points and put them in a corner. They would wake up when Shen Jiayu finished his work.

"Shen Yi, you are really good at acupuncture!" Shen Jiayu had witnessed this from the side.

Shen Yi is a big and strong man, a rough guy, but his movements are agile and unique. In no time, he pressed the acupoints of the person who was staring at Shen Jiayu.

Shen Yi was particularly proud of being praised, and raised his head high, "Who am I? I am the first, I can learn anything, and I am good at everything I learn! If you want to learn, I can teach you, it's very simple. You are so smart, you will definitely learn it if I teach you. When you are better than Zhao Ji in the future, you can return to the young master, and we can meet often."

Speaking of this, Shen Jiayu's eyes flickered.

If I want to go back, I have to improve my martial arts skills. It's not good to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion forever. I have no chance to train. How can I improve my martial arts skills?

"You teach me, and I will learn slowly after returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

The two of them went to the courtyard, talking and laughing. After Shen Jiayu learned some words, he rarely came to the courtyard.

If Wen Xiangzhu didn't really want to see her, she wouldn't come. Things that can be solved with letters should be solved with letters.

Some new items were added to the courtyard, making it look more down-to-earth and not as cold as before.

This time Wen Xiangzhu did not summon her alone, but gathered them in the small courtyard.

Li Xiner, who hadn't been seen for many days, was also there. She saw Shen Jiayu suppress his excitement and nodded to her as a greeting.

Shen Jiayu naturally greeted him as well.

They had their own division of labor and were placed in various places by Wen Xiangzhu. The one with the best place was Shen Jiayu. Although others were also sent to the mansions of aristocratic families, they mostly did odd jobs and had little contact with others.

Zhao Ji stood beside Wen Xiangzhu. Seeing that all ten people had arrived, he said, "I have read the intelligence you have collected. There is nothing wrong with it."

"This time, the Master has an important task for you to do. Everyone must do this well. A sorcerer named Chen Muke has come to the Third Prince Qi Rui. You must do your best to investigate his background. Don't miss any details. If you can find any evidence or mistakes of Chen Muke, the Master will reward you!"

Zhao Ji talked about many things one after another, but Shen Jiayu only listened to half of them.

Chen Muke...

She remembered this name. He was the biggest villain in the book.

He possesses supernatural powers but has an extremely vicious heart. He becomes the third prince's guest, gains power and becomes an accomplice of the evildoer, causing the people of Yunli Kingdom to suffer terribly. In the end, Yunli Kingdom is under his control and the third prince is just a puppet.

Qi Binwei pretended to surrender and was willing to become Chen Muke's knife, and secretly eliminated some people who hindered him.

It is impossible for the villain to survive to the end, Chao Yan's sacrifice

He was also Wen Xiangzhu's enemy. It was he who had been to Linyue City and offered advice to Cheng Boyi, a friend of Wen Xiangzhu's father, which led to Cheng Boyi stabbing Wen Xiangzhu in the back, killing Wen Xiangzhu's family, and becoming the lord of Linyue City.

She didn't set a time for Chen Muke to appear, but she didn't expect him to appear so soon.

Wen Xiangzhu was so nervous, he must have found some clues, so he called them here this time to find out more clearly.

She now remembered a very important thing that she had not been able to remember before. It was to find Chen Muke, the biggest villain in the book, and help Wen Xiangzhu resolve the hatred in his heart so that he would have a chance to be influenced by Song Qinghong.

Song Qinghong had been recuperating at home these days after an accident, but he had never visited her, and had not even written her a letter of condolence. It turned out that it was because he had found out about Chen Muke's affair.

Shen Jiayu's thoughts drifted far away, but he was finally frightened back by Zhao Ji's summary.

"Everyone, please remember what I just said!"

Zhao Ji's voice was like thunder in the dark night, deafening.

Ten people answered in unison: "Yes!"

The call was over, and as expected, Shen Jiayu was kept again. Since she worked in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she could get the most information.

Shen Jiayu told Wen Xiangzhu everything he had heard today and waited quietly for Wen Xiangzhu's next move.

She was also thinking that once He Congshuang was escorted out of Kyoto, she would find an opportunity for the two of them to meet.

A trace of surprise flashed across Wen Xiangzhu's narrow eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. As if he remembered something, he asked, "How is Song Qinghong's health?"

When asked this, Shen Jiayu was no longer sleepy. She wished that Wen Xiangzhu was thinking about Song Qinghong, which was exactly what she wanted.

He said something half true and half false: "She is not feeling well. Ever since she was frightened by He Congshuang, her health has not been good. Song Yuanbai also did not let her leave the house, and she was in a depressed mood. Zhao Yan also came to the Prime Minister's House to visit her several times and gave her a lot of pills. Only then did Song Qinghong feel better."

According to her observation, Wen Xiangzhu would become more interested every time Chao Yan was mentioned.

This time was the same. After Wen Xiangzhu heard Chao Yan's name, there was a subtle hint of meaning between his eyebrows.

"Come to think of it, I haven't visited Song Qinghong either. I'll be drinking tea at the Tea Alley in the west of the city on my day off in three days. You can find a chance to bring her here."

What Wen Xiangzhu said was an order.

She had no choice but to obey and take Song Qinghong to the tea lane in the west of the city three days later.
