Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Just as Du He continued to order the search, a shout came from outside the door.

"Who gave you the courage to come to Duke Chen's mansion to cause trouble?"

"Get out of my way!"

Just as he finished speaking, the door of the room was kicked open, and Hou Junji, with a murderous look on his face, walked in murderously.

The four Eastern Palace Qianniu outside the door were controlled by Hou Junji's personal guards.

When Hou Junji saw that his son-in-law's room was in a mess, as if it had been ransacked, he immediately roared in anger.

"stop!"

"Du He, what do you mean?"

"If you don't give me a perfect explanation, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Fortunately, he still had a little good impression of Du He, but he didn't expect that this guy would turn around and destroy his house.

Inside the room, Xi Junmai and Donggong Qianniu, who were originally continuing the search, also stopped what they were doing.

They dare not act rashly at this time, otherwise they would die without knowing how.

Du He showed no fear at all. He said calmly, "Duke Chen, have someone close the door first."

"I will show you something later. If you still want to blame me, you can kill me or chop me up as you please."

Hou Junji was confused, but his anger had not subsided. He saw that his son-in-law lowered his head and remained silent, as if he had done something wrong.

"Someone, close the door."

Hou Junji waved his hand, and a personal soldier behind him quickly closed the door of the room.

In his territory, he was not afraid of any trouble caused by the people brought by Du He.

Du He handed the secret letter to him and said in a deep voice: "Duke Chen, do you recognize these letters?"

When Hou Junji took the letter and read it, his eyes widened suddenly. Wasn't this the secret letter in which he and the prince discussed the uprising?

How could it be in Du He's hands!

Hou Junji's gaze passed through Du He and fell on his son-in-law Helan Chushi, and his teeth were grinding.

"Helan Chushi, what's going on!"

Apart from him and the prince, the only person who handled these letters was his son-in-law.

In the past he called Helan Chushi a good son-in-law, but today he called him by his name, which shows how angry he was inside.

"Dad, I haven't had time to destroy these letters yet..."

Before Helan Chushi could finish his words, Hou Junji slapped him in the face.

"Crack~"

"You're kidding me. You wrote this letter two or three months ago, and you haven't destroyed it yet?"

Hou Junji is not an ordinary person, let alone a three-year-old child. How could he believe his nonsense?

If Du He hadn't discovered it, I'm afraid that as a good son-in-law, he would have kept the evidence.

When I'm in a bad mood one day, I'll suddenly give him a fatal blow.

The more Hou Junji thought about it, the angrier he became. He wanted to draw his knife and chop him to death with one blow.

"Du He, it's a good thing you discovered it early, otherwise there would be endless troubles."

"I admit that I spoke to you a little too loudly at first. Uncle Hou apologizes to you."

Hou Junji experienced the tragedy of surviving a disaster again, so he apologized to Du He with a very sincere attitude.

Du He shook his head and said, "Uncle Hou, the matter is not over yet. Did you notice that there is still a letter missing?"

"what!"

Hou Junji looked panicked, and he quickly checked the stack of letters in his hand.

After reading it, he found that the most important letter was not there.

An ungrateful person who can never be fed!

I must kill you today!

"Qiang~"

Hou Junji pulled out a knife from the hand of his personal soldier beside him, and walked towards Helan Chushi step by step with a gloomy face.

"Father, spare my life!"

"I really didn't keep any of the letters to myself. Apart from these, I burned all the other letters."

Helan Chushi slowly retreated, his foot just happened to trip over a piece of broken wood, and his body fell heavily to the ground with a thud.

As Hou Junji approached with his knife raised, he stared at his legs and kept backing away.

"Tell me, there's another letter. Where did you hide it?"

The sharp blade was pointing at Helan Chushi's throat. If it went forward an inch, he would bleed to death on the spot.

"Dad, everything I said is true. If there is any falsehood, I will be struck by lightning and die miserably!"

"Dad, please spare my life for Haitang's sake."

Hou Haitang was the name of Helan Chushi's wife, who was deeply loved by Hou Junji.

He pulled his wife out, hoping to soften his father-in-law's heart.

“Will you tell it or not?” Hou Junji remained unmoved and moved the sword in his hand forward a little.

The skin of Helan Chushi's throat had already touched the blade, and the blade only needed to move forward slightly to pierce his throat.

After being frightened to a certain extent, Helan Chushi's panicked heart became calm.

He knew very well that as long as he didn't reveal the whereabouts of the last letter, these people would not dare to kill him.

On the contrary, as long as he took out the last letter, he would be dead for sure.

"Dad, I'm not hiding anything."

"If you still can't get rid of your hatred, just kill the child with a knife!"

Helan Chushi's tone was calm, and he closed his eyes after he finished speaking, looking as if he was ready to die.

"You..." Hou Junji was almost injured by anger, and the hand holding the knife was shaking with anger.

But the whereabouts of the last letter was unknown, and only his son-in-law knew about it, so Hou Junji did not dare to kill him.

"Clap clap~"

"Wonderful, really wonderful!"

Du He clapped his hands and shouted "wonderful".

While Hou Junji was interrogating Helan Chushi, he also started investigating the room.

Unexpectedly, he actually found some clues.

Hou Junji frowned and said, "Du He, the letter hasn't been found yet, don't gloat over it."

"If it's exposed, you'll be killed."

Du He was the main planner of the palace rebellion. If anyone leaked the news, Du He would be killed.

Du He gave Hou Junji a reassuring look, and then waved to Xi Junmai who was not far away.

"Jun Mai, climb up this beam and see what's on it."

"Yes, sir." Xi Junmai spat twice into his hands, rubbed them evenly, and quickly climbed up along the beam that Du He pointed to.

He lives in the mountains and has been climbing trees since he was a child. Climbing a beam is easy for him.

"It's over!"

Helan Chushi's pupils shrank and his body fell weakly to the ground.

Because at the top of the beam, he hid the last letter.

"found it!"

Xi Junmai shouted excitedly, then pulled out a brocade box from the top of the beam.

He slid down the beam quickly and handed it to Du He personally.

Du He opened the wooden box and took out a letter from it. Hou Junji also leaned over nervously.

"That's right!"

"This is the last letter!"

Hou Junji's voice was filled with joy.

Today, thanks to the clever Du He, otherwise it would be difficult for him to find the letter.

"You ungrateful bastard, I will kill you today for the sake of justice!"

Hou Junji put aside his last concerns and gave the order in a cold voice.

"Come here, drag this ungrateful bastard away and beat him to death."

Two bodyguards rushed forward quickly and carried Helan Chushi out.

“Father, spare my life…!”

Helan Chushi struggled frantically, turned around and begged Hou Junji for mercy.

Hou Junji's face was extremely angry and he remained unmoved by his pleas for mercy.

After a cup of tea.

Two guards came back and reported: "Master, the thief has been beaten to death."

"Well, you go and tell the housekeeper to bury him with honor. After all, he is a member of my Hou family." Hou Junji said with a heavy heart.

It's a bitter feeling to be betrayed by a trusted son-in-law.
