Jing Sui Yang was on the rooftop when he saw Minister He drive away all the women in the room. Then he found a box in the corner of the room, opened it, and saw something inside. The nervous and worried expression on his face disappeared.

He slowly put the box back to its original place and then slowly left the house.

Jing Sui Yang's gaze fell on the place where the box was hidden. After confirming that everyone had left, he waited for a while. When he was about to go down to check, Minister He, who was supposed to leave, turned back.

After looking around the house for a while, he checked the location of the box again, and then he seemed to be really relieved to leave the yard.

Minister He's suspicious nature forced Jing Sui Yang to be more careful. Now the entire mansion was in chaos. After confirming that Minister He had gone to the back house, Jing Sui Yang returned to the yard.

The yard was empty. This was Minister He's bedroom, and there wasn't even a servant on duty.

Just now, when Minister He was making love with Concubine Feng in the room, there were servants guarding outside. But now, there was not a single servant to be seen. Even if Minister He had given the order just now, it was not right. There must be something strange going on.

Jing Sui Yang was not in a hurry to get the box hidden by Minister He, but walked around the house first.

Soon, two things were found to be wrong. The place where Minister He had seen the box twice was a trap. He didn't know what was in the box, but it must be a bait.

Jing Sui Yang has discovered the trigger device of this mechanism, but there is no expert in Minister He's mansion who can detect his presence.

To be able to suddenly make such a move, either Minister He is too suspicious, or this old fox is testing whether there are any masters around who are willing to take his life.

Jing Suiyang was groping around the house to see if there were any other useful things when a small snake suddenly jumped out of his arms.

The little snake's black scales gleamed in the candlelight as it rushed straight towards the trap set by Minister He.

The little snake was so fast that when Jing Suiyang wanted to catch it, it had already run to the corner where the box was placed.

His Highness gave him this little snake for self-defense because he was afraid that he would be in danger during the mission. Seeing the little snake jump from the corner, climb onto the clothes hanger beside and avoid the trap, Jing Sui Yang's brows never relaxed.

"呲呲."

Jing Sui Yang imitated the way His Highness called the little snake and made a sound, but unexpectedly the little snake just turned its head and looked at him before turning its head back.

With a click, Jing Sui Yang looked in the direction of the sound. The little snake had triggered some mechanism. The bed board, which was fine just now, began to crack in the middle, making a crackling sound.

Just as Jing Sui Yang was about to go over to check the situation, he was stopped by the little snake spitting out its tongue.

As early as in the northern border, Jing Suiyang had witnessed the power of this little snake. It must have sensed some danger from its appearance.

Jing Sui Yang lowered his head and observed carefully, but did not find anything. However, he still followed the route the little snake had just taken, from the corner where the box was placed, and walked around to the bed.

At this time, the bed board had been completely separated, and the little snake was still tightly wrapped around the mechanism and refused to let go. Jing Sui Yang immediately stepped forward, pulled down the gauze curtain on the bed, and put away the rolls of paper and various booklets hidden inside the bed board. Then he grabbed the little snake and returned to the window along the same route.

After the little snake left the mechanism, the bed boards, which had made noises for a long time when it moved just now, closed together at an extremely fast speed. If someone didn't check and was unaware of it, they wouldn't have time to pull them back and they would have been left there forever.

"What a vicious method."

After Jing Sui Yang secured the packed things in his arms, he put the little snake in his arms, poured the unfinished wine on the ground, and when he left, he did not forget to use the pole by the window to pick up the mechanism containing the box.

In an instant, countless short arrows were shot out, and hurried footsteps were heard from all directions.

Jing Sui Yang did not leave in a hurry, nor did he go up to the roof again. Instead, he left the yard and waited for Minister He to return to the yard with his men. When he opened the door with a smug look on his face, he tied gunpowder on his sleeve arrows and shot three arrows in the direction of Minister He.

The first arrow was blocked by the master beside Shangshu He, and the second arrow shot at Shangshu's feet through dozens of guards. He was so scared that he squatted on the ground, holding his head and not daring to make another sound.

Jing Suiyang shot the third arrow at the house that had been filled with wine. The arrow was tied with gunpowder. The moment the arrow fell on the door, everyone's attention was attracted and the gunpowder exploded at that moment.

Amidst the countless screams, Jing Sui Yang distinguished the sound of Minister He being like a pig being slaughtered. His Highness had instructed that Minister He's life must be spared first and that he must not be allowed to die so easily. Jing Sui Yang then turned around with the little snake and went to light a fire somewhere else in the Minister's Mansion.

When Jing Suiyang left, the flames from the Shangshu Mansion shot up into the sky, and a corner of the Qu'an official road was illuminated. Liang Chongyue did not sleep either, but took Li Yu'an to the tallest building in the Princess' Mansion and watched the fireworks in the capital.

"Does it look good?"

His Highness's voice rang in his ears. Li Yu'an stepped forward, adjusted His Highness's cloak, and then kissed him gently.

"It looks good, better than the one at the Imperial Examination Hall."

Li Yuan's voice was crushed in the kiss. This tall building was built by his scumbag father in imitation of the Zhaixing Tower. There was no moon tonight, but the stars were brighter than the other.

Standing on the top floor of a tall building, it feels like you can really pick the stars with your hands.

After Li Yu'an recovered from his illness, piles of toilet paper were piled up beside him. Liang Chongyue hadn't indulged herself for a long time. The two of them used the sky as a blanket and had a lot of fun playing under the starry sky.

When Liang Chongyue woke up the next day, he saw the toilet paper piled up on the table like a small mountain, emitting a faint smell of cigarettes. Without waiting for Jing Suiyang to say anything, he knew at a glance that these were the toilet paper rolls that had been replaced in previous years.

Liang Chongyue randomly picked up a piece of paper. The paper had turned yellow and it was obvious that it was quite old. However, she never expected that it would be such a coincidence that the name she saw was Chu Mu.

Liang Chongyue handed the roll of paper to Li Yu'an, and then continued to search through the pile of rolls of paper.

"Minister of Personnel, Governor of Jingzhou, Magistrate of Bazhou... Minister He has been incredibly busy over the past ten years."

"Minister He must be terribly worried now that these things are lost. If those who offer him tribute every year knew that he still kept these things after all these years, they would probably want to kill him."

There was a chilling coldness in Liang Chongyue's voice. Li Yu'an and Jing Suiyang felt as if they had seen Minister He's body being placed in the hall, with the body parts already separated.
