Butler Ji's series of questions gradually calmed Ji Chuan's irritable and angry heart.

He served as the Jiedushi of southern Xinjiang for many years and had a smooth career in the local area. With the Prince of Yong in the capital, the emperor had trusted him for many years and never had any doubts about him.

But now, first Xu An rebelled, and then he was suspected and even abandoned by the emperor, and the affairs at home were even more of a mess.

He had three children. His daughter died, his eldest son was detained by the emperor, and his youngest son was crippled by Yao.

All of these things seem to have nothing to do with Qiao Xi, but if you think about it carefully, they are all related to Qiao Xi.

Xu An was a loyal man, and because of Xu's father's affairs, they acted in secret, and those who knew about it had already been silenced.

That's why he dared to do Cao Ying a favor and promote Xu An to be the military commander of Liang Province, because he was sure that Xu An was loyal to the court, or to him, Ji Chuan.

He was even more certain that Xu An could not possibly know the truth about his father's death.

But the result was that such a brainless person suddenly knew everything and was bold enough to rebel.

He rebelled and even lost two states under his jurisdiction.

Bixiang was Qiao Xi's maid. Could it be that things were not as he had previously understood, and Xu An learned the truth from Bixiang?

But Qiao Xi knew all this, took the initiative to find Xu An, and sent Bixiang to Xu An, pushing everything onto Bixiang?

Qiao Xi has been with the emperor for many years and has secret channels, so it is not impossible that he knows some secrets unknown to outsiders.

Similarly, it is not surprising that she would know that the Prince of Yong is her son, and even that she was involved in the death of the Qiao family.

The more Ji Chuan thought about it, the colder his back felt.

The Qiao family is full of tough people. If Qiao Xi knew the truth of that year, she would definitely seek revenge.

So...is the robbery of tax grain the beginning of her revenge?

She was not really abducted to northern Xinjiang by Su Heting.

This was a revenge plot she and Su Heting conspired together.

The more Ji Chuan thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.

No wonder when Ji Yao went to northern Xinjiang at the beginning, although Su Heting was not enthusiastic, he did not imprison her.

It was only after Qiao Xi arrived in northern Xinjiang that Su Heting changed his attitude towards Ji Yao.

Because Qiao Xi gave him the imperial grain, which solved the urgent problem in northern Xinjiang, Su Heting no longer needed help from southern Xinjiang.

If the two were in cahoots, then the quarrel between the couple at the Liangzhou Inn was just a show.

A show performed for him and the emperor.

They were all deceived by Qiao Xi.

If everything was as he guessed, it was Qiao Xi who was behind Xu An and fanning the flames, and Qiao Xi and Su Heting had joined forces.

Then it's no surprise that Xu An was able to successfully seize his two states, because the Xinjiang Northern Army must have been involved behind the scenes...

Thinking of something, he turned around and walked out, "Go, go to Liu Cai's house."

He wanted to verify his guess.

Butler Ji didn't know what he was thinking, but seeing that he transferred his suspicion of himself to Qiao Xi, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed.

Half an hour later.

A guard came up to Ji Chuan and said, "Sir, we found a secret passage in the house."

Sure enough.

Ji Chuan's eyes were gloomy.

No wonder Nanny Liu took the initiative to ask to go to northern Xinjiang to serve Ji Yao and let him see the jade token.

He thought she was really trying to buy Liu Cai a better future, and she clearly gave the jade token to him on purpose.

Nanny Liu picked up the jade token many years ago, and for her to suddenly do this, it could only be Qiao Xi's instructions.

Qiao Xi was testing him. He recognized the jade token and locked it in the study, which proved that he was involved in the Qiao family's affairs back then.

These two bitches played a trick on him together.

So, it was Qiao Xi who burned down his study and robbed his storeroom. No wonder the jade token disappeared after the study was burned down.

Qiao Xi would let Madam Liu test him like this. After getting the jade token back, Qiao Xi might also test Ji Yao.

If she tested Ji Yao, with Ji Yao's intelligence, she would probably sell out all the Ji family.

Yes.

He must have said everything.

Ji Yao died miserably because Qiao Xi must have plotted against her and killed her.

That idiot!

Just as stupid as the Yao family, the Yao family must have believed the instigation of Qiao Xi and others and dared to go against him.

"Use all means to find the Yao family father and daughter, kill them without mercy, and try to save the young master's life."

The eldest son is in the hands of the emperor, and no one knows what will happen to him. If the younger son can be saved, even if he is disabled or invalid, as long as he can carry on the family line, he must be saved.

After giving the order, Ji Chuan gritted his teeth and followed into the secret passage. After entering, he was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.

The secret passage is so big that not only can people enter, but if it were bigger, it could even accommodate carriages.

No wonder the house was robbed before. They couldn’t find anyone. They could even hide underground, so there was no point in looking for them.

With this passage, it is so convenient for them to enter and exit Yincheng. It is possible that they took the father and daughter of the Yao family out through this passage.

That's not a traitor at all, it's clearly someone playing tricks right under his nose.

Ji Chuan was so angry that he kicked the butt of the housekeeper in front of him, "Waste."

Since you suspected that it was Qiao Xi's doing, why didn't you remind her earlier?

In this way, he could imagine that when the emperor asked him to silence Nanny Liu, Qiao Xi had already arrived in Yincheng, and he could also think that Liu Cai might not be dead, and the fire in the Liu family was strange.

He was reminded only now, and for no reason he was fooled by Qiao Xi and ended up in this predicament.

Thinking of this, Ji Chuan kicked again in anger.

Everyone was walking with their heads bent in the tunnel. After Ji Chuan's first kick, Butler Ji was still able to keep his balance.

But before he could stand firm, he was hit again. Butler Ji was so anxious that he could only pull the clothes of the person in front of him.

Bang!

He simply pulled down the pants of the guard in front, revealing his bare buttocks.

It's already this late, and they're still showing him a man's butt. What a bunch of nasty things! Ji Chuan was so angry that he stepped on Butler Ji's body and walked forward.

But Butler Ji was not dead, he was still breathing.

He was stepped on alive like this, especially when Ji Chuan stepped on his thigh. The man's instinct to protect his vitals made him move subconsciously.

With this movement, Ji Chuan lost his balance and fell forward.

The guard in front hadn't even pulled up his pants when he was knocked over by the force of Ji Chuan falling over from behind.

The result was that Ji Chuan fell on the guard, with his face facing the guard's anus.

puff!

Before Ji Chuan could get up, he was completely exposed to the exhaust fumes.

Puff! Puff! Puff puff puff…

The guard had eaten a lot of beans today and had accumulated a lot of anger in his stomach. After being frightened, he completely lost control of himself.

For a moment, the secret passage was dead silent!

Apart from the farts that the guards could no longer hold back as they became more nervous, and Ji Chuan's breathing that was so heavy that it sounded like he was trying to kill someone, there was nothing else to hear.

No one dared to express their anger.

Ji Chuan was almost suffocated and tried to get up several times but failed. The guards behind him wanted to help, but Butler Ji blocked their way.

The guard in front was blocked by his naked buttocks. In the end, it was the tough butler Ji who climbed up tremblingly and helped Ji Chuan up.

Ji Chuan had been a famous figure for most of his life, but he had never lost face so badly. All his embarrassment turned into punches and kicks, which landed on the naked guard.

When he had fought enough, he came out of the secret passage and found the ruined Taoist temple, where he saw many traces of barbecue.

He thought about how he was looking for thieves everywhere in the city, while Qiao Xi and the others were enjoying good food and drinks and watching him laugh.

Ji Chuan felt a surge of anger in his chest again. He rushed back to Ji Mansion, wrote a letter of denunciation, and asked his guards to send it to the capital.

He wanted to expose Qiao Xi's true face to the emperor and he wanted Qiao Xi to be doomed.

That evening, he wrote three more letters with the same content, and instructed, "Use the top-grade carrier pigeons I've carefully raised. Send two to the emperor and one to Cao Ying at different times..."

He whispered an order.

He was worried that Qiao Xi and Su Heting would intercept his carrier pigeon, so it was just a deception during the day.

He spent many years training these top-notch racing pigeons, and they have never made any mistakes.

Even if Qiao Xi was guarding outside the city, he would definitely make sure she didn't notice him this time.

As long as one of them delivers the letter, Qiao Xi will be dead.

Ji Chuan thought viciously.

On the hillside outside the city.

Captain Zhou handed a carrier pigeon to Qiao Xi, "Master Eight, this is the second one."

Qiao Xi unfolded it and saw that the content was the same as during the day. He used his inner strength to crush the letter into powder, which flew away in the wind. He ordered, "Guard it again."

Since Ji Chuan had guessed everything, he must have expected that she would be on guard.

Captain Zhou received the order and hurried down with his bow and arrow.

After guarding for a whole day and night, they captured another pigeon, bringing the total number of Jichuan's three pigeons killed. Captain Zhou Qianfu said, "My subordinates and I didn't dare to blink, and we didn't miss any of them."

Little did they know that Ji Chuan had learned his lesson and did not release the last carrier pigeon from the city.

Instead, he asked the servants in the mansion to disguise themselves as ordinary people, carry the carrier pigeon in a backpack, and walk a hundred miles outside the city before releasing the pigeon.

That was already outside of Qiao Xi's surveillance range...
