The Killer's Cleansing Manual

——Princess Mansion——

"Your Highness, the Prince Consort has arrived in Beijing."

Qi Zhaomian subconsciously wanted to get up, but when he saw her dressing-up through her glasses, he calmed down and urged Xiao'er to hurry up.

"How far is it to get home?"

The corner of Yue Liu's lips twitched: "The Prince Consort... The Prince Consort went directly to the Ministry of Justice and has no intention of returning home."

Qi Zhaomian paused and said nothing more.

Yue Liu carefully glanced at his master's expression. His profile was gloomy and he looked... probably not very happy.

Xiao'er put the last pearl hairpin away. The person in the mirror looked much more calm and dignified. Qi Zhaomian looked for a long time, then looked up at the snow outside.

It has been snowing non-stop at night these days. A few days ago, she was worried that Lin Shanjuan was too thin and might catch a cold. But today, when she heard that she was full of energy and didn't show up at all, she turned around and went to the Qingzhengsi?

Normally, she was the one who was most reluctant to go to the Qingzhengsi, always saying nonsense like "I don't want to go to work". How come her personality changed so much after being away for more than four months?

Qi Zhaomian walked to the window and Xiao'er helped her put on the fox fur coat.

"Who did the Prince Consort bring back on this trip?"

Yue Liu recalled the report from the garrison at the capital's gate: "Bai Shu, Qi Zhen, Hu Qun, and the rest of them. And... and Princess Annan."

"Ye Xi?" Qi Zhaomian turned his head. "Why is she coming along?"

Yue Liu didn't dare to say "I didn't know" and quickly knelt down: "I was negligent! I'll go now..."

"No need. What is she doing now?"

This "she" was probably asking Lin Shanjuan and Yue Liu: "They interrogated Hu Qun at the Qingzheng Division, and then took people to Zhao Xuan's mansion to arrest him."

Qi Zhaomian folded his hands and closed his eyes: "Prepare the car."

Yue Liu understood: "Prepare the car, Qingzhengsi."

Qi Zhaomian opened his eyes and changed his mind in an instant: "Prepare the car and enter the palace."

Yue Liu was stunned and ordered someone to change the destination.

Isn't it to go see the prince consort? After asking around about the prince consort, shouldn't the final thing be to go see the prince consort?

Qi Zhaomian sat in the carriage, listened to the noise outside, and closed his eyes to rest.

She really wanted to go to the Qingzhengsi just now. The man had been running around alone for so long, and now he had a lot of things to do. He must have obtained solid evidence from Hu Qun, so he went to arrest him without stopping.

She has worked hard, so you should go and see her. You can also pretend to be "loving" in front of others. Everything is reasonable.

But for some reason, when she thought about the fact that she had been away from Beijing for more than four months without a single letter, and now that she was back, he was ignoring her, she felt extremely uncomfortable!

She even doubted her appearance in the mirror... She really thought too much!

If you like being busy, don't come back.

-

On the way here, Lin Shanjuan learned that Zhao had declared a four-day leave, recuperating at home under the pretext of "catching a cold," and refusing to see visitors. Today was his last day.

It is impossible to find out whether he really did not see any guests in the past few days, or who he met, but this person is unlikely to escape even if he has wings.

Lin Shanjuan was wearing an eagle-embroidered robe and didn't care whose mansion it was, nor did he care whether the other party wanted to see him or not.

When I wear this outfit, even if he is bedridden, I can still stand right in front of him and watch him take his medicine!

The horse stopped in front of the Zhao Mansion. Lin Shanjuan raised his hand. Bai Shu understood and shouted loudly:

"Surround this place and don't let a fly escape!"

The guards responded in unison, divided into several small teams and trotted out, surrounding the Zhao Mansion in an instant.

The servant heard the noise and just opened the door. When he saw the scene, he was so scared that he hurried in to report and notified the palace soldiers to come and stop them and delay time.

Lin Shanjuan's right arm was injured. He got off the horse holding the reins with his left hand, and walked in with his hands behind his back.

The palace guards arrived just in time and saw that everyone had already opened their doors. They hurried over and just as they were about to stop them, Qi Zhen raised his token and said coldly:

"Qingzhengsi is arresting people, get out of the way!"

The palace guards were not as confident as them, so they did not dare to stop them. The three of them walked into the Zhao Mansion smoothly.

Just as I walked to the front yard, I saw a man who looked like a housekeeper coming towards me from a distance.

"I didn't know Mr. Lin was coming. I apologize for not welcoming you. Please forgive me. Please come in..."

Lin Shanjuan looked at his gesture and sneered, "I finally came here once, and you're asking me to leave?"

Bai Shu drew his sword like a King Kong and stood in front of the butler: "Hmm?"

The housekeeper's smile froze for a moment: "No, no, no! Our master has caught a cold, I'm afraid..."

Lin Shanjuan sneered: "I haven't asked you about your master yet, but you understand me so well that you even know what I want to ask."

Qi Zhen pushed the butler aside and stood there with his burly figure. The butler didn't dare to move forward another step.

"I'm going to check on him. You don't know, but I'm an expert at treating illnesses, especially those that appear sick. I can cure any illness I can. Lead the way~"

Seeing he couldn't get away with it, the housekeeper resorted to a delaying tactic, "No, no! Your Excellency, if the illness gets better, I'll be short-lived! Please move to the main hall, I'll go get the master."

Lin Shanjuan rubbed his brows, unwilling to waste any more time, and waved his hand.

Qi Zhen understood and moved a chair to place it behind her. He then gave a stern order: "Take this steward away and ask Lord Zhao to come out and see him!"

The guards obeyed the order, two of them arrested the housekeeper, and the rest of them divided into several teams to search for Zhao Xuan's whereabouts. The screams of the female relatives were everywhere.

Lin Shanjuan sat in the yard, sipping his tea leisurely, listening to the women's screams and cries, and scratching his ears impatiently.

The Zhao Mansion was not big, and soon several teams of people ran back.

"Director Lin, we've searched everywhere, but there's no sign of Zhao Xuan!"

Lin Shanjuan put down the teacup. He came quickly, so Zhao Xuan shouldn't have run away so quickly. After thinking about it, he saw the housekeeper standing beside him.

He stood there timidly, his guilty look saying, "I know where it is, just don't ask me."

Lin Shanjuan almost couldn't help laughing, and said with a stern face: "Bring the housekeeper here."

The guards stepped forward and forced the butler to kneel down. The butler looked at the guards around him in horror, then at Lin Shanjuan, wishing he could stick his head between the bricks.

"Villain... villain..."

"If you've made a good report, it's a reward from the Emperor. Once it's given to you, it's yours, and no one can take it away. But if you helped him escape, he'll at most give you some silver. But you won't be able to spend it, because I'll arrest you, and then—"

She lowered her head and looked at the housekeeper: "I'll find your silver and spend it."

The housekeeper didn't care about his own body, but he cared about his money. He almost cried when he heard this, and his lips trembled as he was about to confess.

Lin Shanjuan folded his hands and looked at the housekeeper calmly, "Tell me, where did you go?"

The housekeeper's eyes kept drifting in one direction, and he whispered, "Backyard, backyard children."

Qi Zhen then personally led people to look for him. After another commotion, sure enough, a man dressed in colorful clothes was brought out soon.

The makeup is heavy and exaggerated, and the hair is covered with hairpins, but if you look closely, you can still recognize it as Zhao Xuan.
