Traveling through the emperor, overthrowing the empress dowager at the beginning

Just as Shen Qiu guessed, the number of thieves who broke into the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion was not large.

It is impossible to guard all the locations in the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion, and there is only one person guarding the back door of the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion.

Shen Qiu easily climbed over the wall and took care of the gatekeeper.

Then, Ye Chen led the imperial guards into the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion.

When he arrived at the ancestral hall, he saw many masked men attacking the gate of the hall. He could not hide his anger and rushed over with his men.

The masked men were very surprised. They had never expected Ye Chen to come charging in.

"Stop, stop them!"

The leader of the masked men not only wears a mask but also a turban, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

The man roared and rushed into the hall with a knife in hand.

Even if he encountered an emergency, he still wanted to complete the task.

"Dog thief!"

Chen Tao roared, raised his shield and attacked.

"Get out! Old bastard!"

The masked leader chopped down with his sword, creating a streak of sparks on the shield, and kicked Chen Tao away. Then he nimbly dodged Zhang Cheng's sword and swung his sword across, knocking Zhang Cheng over instead.

When the masked leader saw the blood, his eyes turned red and he was about to rush into the ancestral hall.

"You give me another try!"

The loud voice is breathtaking.

The masked leader shuddered all over, turned his head suddenly, and was immediately frightened to death.

But he discovered that in just a short while, all his men had been killed!

Ye Chen even brought his men and rushed to him.

"call out!"

With a sound of breaking through the air.

The masked leader felt a pain in his shoulder and cried out in pain, only to find that there was an arrow stuck in his shoulder.

"crossbow?!"

The masked leader recognized the weapon in Ye Chen's hand and then took a breath.

The crossbow arrow was so powerful that it pierced through his shoulder and nailed him to the wall.

He raised his knife to cut off the crossbow arrow, but Shen Qiu had already stepped forward and knocked the knife out of his hand with one sword.

"Ding!"

The knife in the masked leader's hand flew out, and the knuckles of his hand burst.

"what!"

Ye Chen stepped forward and pulled off the cloth on the masked leader’s face.

"Who are you? Who sent you?"

Ye Chen's eyes were cold, and his aura was breathtaking.

This masked leader looked very unfamiliar.

"I, I won't say anything!"

The masked leader's face suddenly turned ashen, and then quickly turned from blue to black.

Seeing this, Shen Qiu's face changed slightly. He immediately stepped forward and put his hand on the masked leader's neck to check.

"died."

Shen Qiu frowned slightly and said.

Hearing this, Ye Chen was slightly surprised, and then asked: "How did he die?"

"He must have taken poison. He must have hidden the poison in his mouth beforehand."

Shen Qiu reached out and pinched the masked leader's chin, looked into his mouth carefully for a while, and said.

"Tsk, are these guys still a bunch of dead men? Check for them, find out if there are any survivors!"

Ye Chen's face darkened slightly, and his tone was domineering.

Then he looked at Zhang Cheng beside him.

Zhang Cheng was stabbed, and his clothes were stained red on the chest.

"Go get a doctor! Treat the wounded!"

Ye Chen said quickly again.

Only then did Qin Man come out in shock.

"Master Ye!"

As soon as she saw Ye Chen, Qin Man felt her heart tremble.

From the first time I met Ye Chen to now.

How many times has Ye Chen helped her?

Qin Man was full of gratitude towards Ye Chen.

And whenever she encountered danger, Ye Chen would always come to her aid and help her out of danger every time.

"Miss Qin, are you okay?"

As soon as Ye Chen saw Qin Man, he hurried over to her, his tone gentle and eager, holding Qin Man's hand.

At this moment, Qin Man was wearing a light green brocade dress, and her temperament was pure and elegant, but the paleness on her pretty face showed that her inner panic had not completely subsided, giving people a feeling of pity.

Ye Chen is quite sympathetic to women.

When Qin Man felt her hand being held, she instinctively shuddered and wanted to pull her hand back, but when she saw that the person holding her hand was Ye Chen, she did not feel disgusted.

She even felt a little warm in her heart because of Ye Chen's caring inquiry.

"I am fine."

Qin Man's cheeks were burning, but she said.

"I'm glad you're okay. Who are these criminals? What on earth do they want to do by breaking into the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion?"

Ye Chen then asked doubtfully.

All these masked men are dead, not a single one is left alive. If you want to know the origins of these masked men, you can only ask Qin Man.

"Well, Mr. Ye, let's go outside and talk."

Qin Man pulled her hand back. After all, she was still a woman, and she felt embarrassed to have Ye Chen hold her hand all the time.

Ye Chen nodded in response.

The two men left the ancestral hall and came to the main hall of Jing'an Marquis Mansion.

"Mr. Ye, please take a look at this."

Qin Man took out a sandalwood box and handed it to Ye Chen.

At this moment, all the frightened and injured people in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion were comforted and treated.

She could also talk to Ye Chen with peace of mind.

And she also has unconditional trust in Ye Chen.

Ye Chen took the sandalwood box, opened it, and found several pages of silk inside.

The silk was covered with words.

"This is a letter my father wrote to me."

Qin Man's face was solemn as she said, "The people who broke into the Marquis' Mansion today wanted to steal these."

Ye Chen picked up the silk manuscripts and read them carefully page by page, his face gradually darkening.

The contents of these letters detailed what happened to Marquis Jing'an on the frontier.

From the lack of military supplies to being besieged by the Tubo army, begging for reinforcements in vain, and finally writing his last letter.

There were only four pieces of silk in total, but they represented the despair of 30,000 strong men.

"Miss Qin, you should have heard that His Majesty is now re-examining the Jing'an Marquis Mansion incident. Presumably, these masked men are here today to destroy the evidence!"

Ye Chen's tone was cold. The person who framed Marquis Jing'an was really lawless.

"I think so too."

Qin Man took a few deep breaths and suddenly said as if making a decision: "Master Ye, I have an unwelcome request. I wonder if you can agree to it?"

"what?"

Ye Chen looked at Qin Man in confusion and said.

"It's not safe to keep these letters with me. Please, Master Ye, pass them on to His Majesty!"

Qin Man's face looked a little bleak. She also knew that the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion might not be able to keep the evidence.

"no problem."

Ye Chen answered immediately.

Even if Qin Man didn't say it, he would take these letters away.

"Master Ye, you've helped me so much. If you need anything from me or the Marquis of Jing'an in the future, just let me know!"

Qin Man was quite moved and said.

"Oh."

The corners of Ye Chen's mouth turned up slightly.

"It just so happens that I do have something that I would like Miss Qin to help me with."
