After the rebirth of the wronged soft girl, the devil's crematorium

Zheng Weilan's face changed drastically when he heard this, "Nonsense!"

He immediately ordered his men to inquire about the recent rumors. Basically, after Su Si Niang's death, rumors had been circulating that the Jiang family had murdered her. Later, the rumor had inexplicably shifted to the Zheng family, with evidence even found in their own yard. What was there to understand? Either the Wang family was behind this, or the Jiang family was doing something to smear the Zheng family.

"What evidence? This is outrageous!" Zheng Weilan slammed the table in anger.

"The master of the house is in trouble!"

Zheng Weilan was furious when the doorman suddenly came to report, "That Xie..." He took a breath and said, "Chief Xie of Xuanwei is here."

Zheng Weilan opened his eyes wide and thought to himself: Not good! He hurried to the front yard to entertain Xie Yin, but just as he walked into the side hall of the front yard, he saw Xie Yin walking towards him with a smile.

"I've been to the Zheng family more than once or twice, so I'm pretty familiar with the route. I'm sorry I didn't bother you to walk around a lot, but I hope you'll bear with me."

"No way." Zheng Weilan laughed dryly and welcomed the person into the side hall.

As soon as Xie Yin sat down, he explained his purpose. Zheng Weilan was suspicious and angry when he learned that the body was found in the small courtyard behind Zheng's house.

"Thank you, Chief. My Zheng family has come this far thanks to you. What right do we have to plot anything else?"

Xie Yin smiled faintly, "I naturally know that you are frank, but this person's status is not ordinary, and I am afraid that he will bring trouble to you. In view of the fact that the Zheng family ancestors and you have served Your Majesty attentively, Your Majesty has specially allowed you to enter the palace to find a way to negotiate."

Zheng Weilan was stunned. "What's your identity?"

Xie Yin curled his lips, "A spy from the Northern Kingdom."

Zheng Weilan's face darkened. He stood up and said solemnly, "Chief Xie, you can't joke like that. First, I don't know where this person is from or why he's in my yard. Second, Chief Xie, do you have any idea how much trouble your words will bring us? Besides, who knows, it's possible some bastard is trying to take advantage of the situation and frame the Zheng family. If you want to put the blame on my family without investigating the cause and effect, you're dreaming!"

Xie Yin lowered his gaze, patted his clothes, and said, "I am here on orders. How could I say something I hadn't dreamed of? I am just reminding you to be mentally prepared. His Majesty is already waiting for you. You should quickly put on your official uniform and enter the palace."

Zheng Weilan's face lit up with realization, a bad feeling welling up in his heart. Regardless of whether it was true or false, regardless of who spread the rumor, he was likely to be abandoned today. After Xie Yin left, he hurried back to his study and asked Zheng Yanchen to go to the Yu residence. He then dressed and entered the palace.

After learning the news, the Yu family hurriedly sent people to notify the heads of the Qin family, Liu family and other families to come to the Yu Mansion for discussion. The Jiang family was unable to come here because of Su Si Niang's matter, so they did not show up.

Liu Wei, the head of the Liu family, felt funny after hearing the news brought by Zheng Yanchen. He was the one who sent the person out, and the killer was secretly trained by him, so how could he be a spy?

He was about to deny it, but then he thought, wouldn't this expose the Liu family? If this incident also implicated the Liu family in the crime of treason, then everything would be over. Thinking of this, the Liu family had no choice but to shut up.

"Xie Yin also said that they found letters exchanged with spies from the Northern Country on that person," said Zheng Yanchen.

Qin Feng, the head of the Qin family, snorted coldly, "Who knows, it might have been forged by Xie Yin, trying to frame us."

"This is why Father asked me to come. No matter who sent this assassin, we must not make any further moves. If he has another identity, it will really bring trouble to us."

Liu Wei's expression changed after hearing this. He believed that the assassin was one of his own, but if he was really a spy, he would be in trouble. He would need to have someone check his residence and background after returning.

Liu Wei's eyes also fell on Zheng Yanchen's. When he learned that Su Wan was assassinated, the people he could think of were the Yu family, the Qin family, and the Liu family. Now it seemed that it was the Liu family without a doubt.

"Master!" The servant of the Yu family ran in with sweat all over his face.

"What's the matter?"

The servant wiped his sweat and said, "Someone reported that Xie Yin surrounded Fengming Tower and took away many people, including prostitutes and officials. I also heard that this is the list he found on the deceased."

Yu Lang narrowed his eyes and asked, "A list? Do you know who's on it?"

"The one who hangs out with prostitutes all the time."

"Report!" While he was thinking, the doorman ran in again, "Master, someone from the palace came to report that His Majesty wants you to come into the palace."

The heads of the families could no longer sit still, their faces darkening as they listened to each piece of news. First, the Zheng family was invited in, then Fengming Tower was searched, and now Yu Langling was invited to the palace. What exactly did His Majesty want to do?

Yu Lang and Zheng Yanchen exchanged a puzzled look. Only their two families were invited. Did they really reveal something?

"Go tell the people in the palace that I will be there as soon as I am dressed."

"Yes."

Yu Lang turned around and looked at everyone. "Everyone, everyone, things are not going well at home right now. You should all go back quickly and don't move rashly. Also, don't leave any unclean things in your house. Also, please remember that we are all of the same blood, and we must all unite as one."

After saying this, Yu Lang bowed to the heads of several families. After sending the people out through the back door, Yu Lang told Zheng Yanchen, "Send a trustworthy person to find him and ask him if his subordinates have revealed anything."

Zheng Yanchen was lost in thought. Sending the Zheng family would be like using them as shields. His father was right; if he wanted to protect himself, he had to have leverage. But Zheng Yanchen still agreed; after all, the Zheng family was in constant contact with that person.

For a moment, all the big families were in chaos, and the emperor suddenly attacked without any warning. It seemed that he was prepared.

After leaving the Yu family, Zheng Yanchen did not return home directly. He first sent his long-time attendant to pick up his wife Liu Yurong, and the couple went to the Su Mansion.

"Liu Yurong is looking for me?" Su Wan, standing at the case, looked puzzled. Could it be that Xie Yin had found out about the Liu family, and they were trying to implicate the Su family? Su Wan was silent for a moment before ordering, "Liushang, have the servants go back and tell her I'm not here. Tell her that the Su family just had a funeral, which is not good for the child. Tell her to come back later if she has anything else to do."

"Yes."

Fang Jinyue, who was wearing light blue clothes opposite, smiled slightly at Su Wan's cautious look.

"Why are you laughing?"

Fang Jinyue: "Nothing, I just think you're beautiful when you're lost in thought."

Su Wan raised her eyebrows and returned to their topic, "Okay, now let's get down to business. You said you wanted to seek revenge on the Liu family. Do you have any evidence?"

Fang Jinyue crossed her arms and said, "Even if I had it, it's useless. Which ordinary citizen has ever successfully sought justice after being bullied? Even if there is evidence, what can we do if they pretend to be blind?"

Su Wan said calmly, "Then why did you come to the capital?"

"Because I trust you, you will help me, right?"

Facing Fang Jinyue's determined gaze, Su Wan smiled faintly, "Why should I help you? I am a daughter of the Su family. If I implicate my clan members because of you, I will be a sinner. Madam Fang, I am not that kind."

Fang Jinyue's expression remained firm, "But I am your chance to protect the Su family."

Su Wan raised her eyes and smiled, "I don't understand what my lady means."
