After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven

Murong Feng then said, "Shi Pan, you just said that you only kicked and hit Lin Yutang, but it wasn't you who pretended to be a human and dumped the body."

Wang Shipan nodded hurriedly, remembering that he heard someone complain this morning, so he hurried to find the thin man. Who knew that the thin man turned around and said that he was the mastermind behind the incident, so he killed someone's name, and asked him to pay one million taels of silver as a hush money, otherwise he would report to the police.

But where did he even have a million taels of silver? In desperation, he turned to his own uncle. Minister Wang, a shrewd and calculating man, naturally understood the seriousness of the situation. He knew his nephew had been tricked by a charlatan. These people demanded exorbitant sums, but they certainly wouldn't keep their promises. With the matter looming, a thorough investigation was inevitable. If those charlatans turned against him, wouldn't he be left with nothing? Rather than that, he would be better off using the million taels as a tribute to the Crown Prince.

"In that case, you can go back. I will handle this matter myself." Murong Feng looked at Chen Zhu with a look of concern, which made Wang Shipan and Minister Wang feel relieved.

Minister Wang stood up shakily and pulled out ten silver notes from his pocket, offering them to him. Murong Feng, however, pushed his hand away. "You and I serve in the same court. Since you think of me at such a critical moment, it means you trust me. Please take these back. If I take them, how will I face my colleagues in the future?"

Murong Feng spoke in a high-sounding manner but refused firmly. Minister Wang was so grateful that he was speechless for a moment. This nephew Wang Shipan was his sister's child, but the Wang family had no sons, so they let the nephew take the surname Wang, and he became the only child of his Wang family. The future of the family would depend on him.

Minister Wang was so worried that his heart was in his throat. Now that he had received Murong Feng's promise, his spirit suddenly relaxed and his eyes rolled back, and he was about to faint.

At the same time, Xiluo came back quietly from outside and nodded to Yu Qingli. After a while, a pair of yamen runners rushed into the yard. The servant tried his best to stop them but they still rushed to the balcony.

"How dare you!" Murong Feng shouted angrily, frowning, but feeling annoyed in his heart.

"Your Highness..." The bailiffs were stunned. They looked around and knelt down hurriedly. "Excuse me, your servants. We have received information that the suspect in today's murder is inside Youbixuan, which is why we have offended Your Highness."

When Minister Wang heard this, his eyes rolled back and he fainted. Wang Shipan was not much better. He was shaking all over and just stared at Murong Feng.

"You're blind! There's only me, Minister Wang, and his nephew here. Where did this suspect come from?" Murong Feng said, snorting coldly, "Get out of here!"

The bailiffs immediately bowed and withdrew, but they were still angry with Murong Feng. They couldn't help but talk about how the eldest prince was arrogant and unconsiderate of his subordinates. This word spread from one person to ten, and then to a hundred, and somehow it reached Murong Shiling's ears.

That afternoon, Murong Feng was summoned into the palace by Murong Shiling. No one knew what the two of them talked about, but when Murong Feng left the palace, his face looked extremely bad.

After Murong Feng left the hall, an imperial edict was issued immediately, stating that Minister Wang was an improper official who had played games in a place with fireworks in broad daylight. He was punished by being demoted one level for six months as a warning.

Inside the eldest prince's mansion, there were bursts of loud "crashing" noises. Even from a long distance away, one could hear the sound of fine porcelain falling to the ground and the sound of mahogany flower stands collapsing.

Yu Qingli raised her head and glanced outside the courtyard wall calmly, a cold smile appearing at the corner of her lips.

She had indeed found out a lot of information by making a show of force today. Murong Shileng seemed to no longer suppress Murong Feng, but Murong Feng's unnecessary actions in the imperial examination had indeed aroused Murong Shileng's suspicion. Otherwise, how could Murong Shileng have the trouble to personally admonish Murong Feng for just a simple rumor?

The admonition is false, so the warning must be true.

Yu Qingli was very satisfied with Murong Shiling's reaction, but she had alarmed Murong Feng. What would he do next?

Yu Qingli took a look at the chess record and slowly placed a piece on the chessboard.

"Lili, you can't stay here. How can you achieve anything without taking care of the ends?" Murong Yanhui's usual playful voice sounded behind Yu Qingli again. She sighed helplessly. Why did the eldest prince's mansion feel more and more like the Prince of Yan's mansion? He came and went as he pleased. No one knew how he had avoided Murong Feng's ears.

"Whether the head and the tail can take care of each other depends entirely on the news brought by the young uncle." Yu Qingli turned her head slowly, her eyes as bright as stars. Murong Yanhui smiled brightly, and the curve of the corners of her lips was perfect.

"You always guess right, I'm almost losing interest." Murong Yanhui picked up a black piece and dropped it casually, "Has Lili heard of the Sea Shark Gang?"

"The Sea Shark Gang? Isn't that the bandit gang that's been causing a lot of trouble lately? It's said that they have a very wide influence both on land and at sea." Yu Qingli frowned as she spoke, "Could it be that the skinny guy is from the Sea Shark Gang?"

"Isn't it? He has quite a background." Murong Yanhui leaned closer to Yu Qingli, "That skinny guy's name is Sha Qianli."

"The leader of the Sea Shark Gang?!" Yu Qingli exclaimed. When had the Sea Shark Gang penetrated so deeply into Canghe? Why would a bandit gang penetrate so deeply into the Imperial Capital? And why did they deliberately target a wealthy young man like Wang Shipan?

"This is getting interesting. I originally thought it was just a drama of fighting for an official position, but now there is something else added." Murong Yanhui played with the Yunzi in his hand, his eyes slightly narrowed. The capital was probably about to be turned upside down, but who knew who would be the one holding the Qiankun Circle to subdue the dragon this time!

Murong Yanhui thought in his heart, turned to look at Yu Qingli, only to see her lowering her head in thought, with an unusual seriousness between her brows. It can be seen that this matter is complicated and confusing, and even Yu Qingli finds it tricky.

While the two were thinking about it, Xiluo suddenly rushed in. She saluted and greeted them casually while saying, "Miss, Your Majesty, something big has happened!"

"What's the big deal?" Murong Yanhui frowned slightly. He always knew Xiluo's temperament. It was rare to see her so flustered, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

"Miss, Prince, Lin Yutang has gone crazy! You should go and take a look. I'm afraid my son is making a big fuss in the government office right now!" Xiluo said all in one breath, and without waiting for Yu Qingli to react, she grabbed her and ran away.

Murong Yanhui angrily scolded Xiluo for being ignorant of etiquette, but he also followed Yu Qingli closely. Looking at Yu Qingli's undisguised anxiety, he felt mixed emotions in his heart.

This was the first time he had seen Lili care so much about a man, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger.

"Lili, why don't you just stay in the mansion? I'll go take a look..." Before Murong Yan could finish her reply, Yu Qingli interrupted, "No, I want to go too! How can I stay here alone?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Yanhui's face darkened even more. He held his breath and followed Yu Qingli closely to the government office.

After most of the day, the crowd at the government office gate came and went, and by this time there were no fewer people. Lin Yutang's voice could be heard from the distance, and it could be heard from his words that he was indeed a little excited.

Come to think of it, this old man saved his life, and Yu Qingli entrusted him with the task herself. Who would have thought that the old man would die in just one night? How could he feel at ease, and how could he explain this to Yu Qingli?

"If the prefect can't give me an explanation today, I will file a complaint with the emperor!"

"How dare you!" The gavel banged loudly, and the prefect grew impatient. "I haven't accused you of roaring in court, and you're turning the tables on me?"

"Even if you put me in jail, I will still stand up for this old man!"

"Well, don't think that just because you have a great reputation, this prefecture can't do anything to you!" The vein on the prefect's forehead was throbbing. "Come here, kick this crazy scholar out!"

"You dare! You dare!" Lin Yutang roared but was still carried out of the hall by the yamen runners.

"Get out!" A yamen runner pushed Lin Yutang's thin body hard and pushed him back into the crowd.

"Young man, forget it. It has always been the custom of the people not to fight against the officials. Zhang Laosan would be grateful to you if he knew about this." An old man supported Lin Yutang, and the people around him also started to persuade him.

A scholar who was taking the imperial examination stood up for an old man with no relatives or friends, and everyone instantly had a better impression of Lin Yutang.

"This is not a matter of fighting with officials. In this bright and clear world, under the feet of the emperor, is there really no law?" Lin Yutang continued to speak righteously.

Murong Yan glanced back at Yu Qingli, but saw that she had no expression on her face, and it seemed as if he had misread her previous anxiety.

"The king's law is for officials. We poor people don't care about the king's law. Having enough food and clothing is enough for us."

"Isn't it? That Zhang Laosan has never had any relatives, and suddenly a woman appears. You'd better not get involved in this mess, young man."

"That's right. I heard that the person who beat him up is a relative of Minister Wang. It's better not to mess with him, little brother."

Everyone was talking and pulling Lin Yutang, all for his own good, but Lin Yutang was stubborn and didn't buy it at all. He shook off everyone and rushed into the hall again, but was blocked by the yamen runners at the door again.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you are so resolute, but don't you know that a strong bow can be easily broken?" Murong Yanhui said worriedly, but his tone was always relaxed and happy.

Yu Qingli still didn't move. She stared at the future top scholar and thought about her past life. She felt that Lin Yutang should suffer a little. Otherwise, this man only knew how to rush around recklessly, full of knowledge but no brains. What good would it do her to save such a person? It would be better to let him be killed.

This time, Yu Qingli was testing Lin Yutang. She wanted to see how Lin Yutang would handle these problems.

Zhang Laosan's death was full of mystery. Coupled with the scene she had seen this morning and Murong Shiling's lesson, Yu Qingli quietly waited for Murong Feng to make his next move. Would he protect himself or continue his conspiracy? It was truly exciting.
