In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband
Chapter 310: Catching the Mastermind
Xie Chengjin frowned tightly. He didn't expect that even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't trust him. But just when Xie Chengjin opened his mouth to defend himself, he was interrupted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"I know in my heart that you have also been wronged, but do you know by whom?" The prince looked at Xie Chengjin's expression and knew that Xie Chengjin had misunderstood his thoughts, so he hurriedly explained.
Upon hearing this, Xie Chengjin shook his head in distress, "Your Highness, I haven't heard of it yet, but this crime is too serious, and I cannot bear it."
"Don't you want to know who wants to kill you, Lord Xie?" The prince said in a gentle and persuasive manner.
"Could it be that Your Highness knows?" Xie Chengjin suddenly raised his head and looked at the prince hopefully.
But to Xie Chengjin's disappointment, the Crown Prince also shook his head and said, "I have no way of knowing, but I do have a plan that will let you know who is behind this."
After saying that, the prince motioned Xie Chengjin to come forward and whispered something in Xie Chengjin's ear. Xie Chengjin's eyes gradually widened.
"Your Highness, this..." Xie Chengjin was still a little hesitant, but when his eyes met the prince's gaze, Xie Chengjin made a decision in his heart. He decided to cooperate with the prince's plan, use himself as bait, lure the enemy deep into his territory, and take the opportunity to pull out all the "weeds" in the court.
Xie Chengjin returned to the Xie Mansion from the Eastern Palace. Su Zhizhi also heard about her being framed in the mansion. She looked at Xie Chengjin anxiously, "Ah Jin, what should we do now?"
Seeing that Su Zhizhi was very worried, Xie Chengjin hurried to comfort her and told Su Zhizhi about the plan between himself and the prince.
But Su Zhizhi was still a little worried. She looked at Xie Chengjin and said anxiously, "But will this really have no impact on you? If I remember correctly, those people didn't just want to attack you. My name was also among those reported."
"You don't have to worry about this. I will agree to everything and you won't be implicated. However, for the next period of time, you may need to control the situation in the mansion by yourself. But the prince and I will do it as soon as possible and won't make you wait for a long time." Xie Chengjin comforted Su Zhizhi.
Xie Chengjin returned to the mansion this time just to explain some things to Su Zhizhi. When he had almost finished explaining everything, the Dali Temple sent people to Xie's mansion to arrest Xie Chengjin and Su Zhizhi.
Xie Chengjin, however, protected Su Zhizhi behind him and said, "This is all my fault. My wife has nothing to do with it. I can go with you, but you must not lay a hand on anyone in my family."
The prince had already taken care of the Dali Temple. After hearing what Xie Chengjin said, the bailiffs who came to arrest Su Zhizhi naturally could not make things difficult for her. After taking Xie Chengjin away, they turned around and left Xie's house.
Su Zhizhi stood there and watched Xie Chengjin being taken away. Even though Xie Chengjin had warned Su Zhizhi before, Su Zhizhi still couldn't help but worry.
After Xie Chengjin was taken away, he was immediately thrown into prison. In order to expose the people in the dark, Xie Chengjin cooperated very well in "acting" in prison and endured punishment every day. After a few days, his body was covered with bruises and there were few pieces of good flesh left.
Su Zhizhi has often come to visit Xie Chengjin since he was imprisoned. However, seeing more and more wounds on Xie Chengjin's body, Su Zhizhi feels more and more uncomfortable. However, she certainly cannot terminate this plan now. Su Zhizhi can only feel distressed but can't do much.
Once again in prison, Su Zhizhi looked at the "dying" Xie Chengjin and hesitated for a long time before handing the elixir in her hand to Xie Chengjin. "The medicine in here can speed up the healing of your wounds. I know you want to find those people, but your own health is the most important thing."
Xie Chengjin took the thing, put it in his arms, and watched Su Zhizhi leave.
Su Zhizhi walked out of the prison in a daze. Not far from the prison, a figure saw Su Zhizhi and showed a meaningful smile on his face. When Su Zhizhi turned around and left, the figure left in the opposite direction.
When those who framed Su Zhizhi heard that Su Zhizhi left the prison in a lonely manner, they were immediately overjoyed. They had almost concluded that their plan was very successful and that Xie Chengjin was in great danger this time. In their eyes, the matter was already a foregone conclusion.
To celebrate, they have started partying in the restaurant, but little do they know that Xie Chengjin's men have been watching them in the dark, just waiting for them to reveal their identities so that Xie Chengjin's men can capture them in one fell swoop.
On Su Zhizhi's side, in order to make these people relax their vigilance, she began to run around in the capital, looking for people from the Dali Temple everywhere, just to be able to rescue Xie Chengjin.
In the eyes of those people, Su Zhizhi's behavior gave them more topics to talk about. As the sky gradually darkened, several people gathered in the restaurant. They got drunk and began to brag constantly to show how powerful they were. Even Xie Chengjin was not their opponent.
Coincidentally, Su Peizhi happened to go to the restaurant that day and heard someone in a private room seemed to be talking about Xie Chengjin. Thinking of Xie Chengjin's current situation, Su Peizhi couldn't help but listen carefully.
Su Peizhi actually overheard the whole process outside the box, and no one had discovered it yet. Now that he had evidence, Su Peizhi was filled with joy. He hurried back to the house to find Su Zhizhi and told her about his experience.
"Peizhi, are you serious?!" Su Zhizhi was also extremely surprised. If what Su Peizhi said was true, then it would be effortless.
Su Peizhi nodded vigorously. "Of course it's true. I heard it clearly from their own mouths. They hired someone to frame my brother-in-law. Those people must have been drunk and are probably still in the restaurant."
Su Zhizhi stood up quickly and walked outside without thinking. The enemy had already revealed a flaw, and Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin didn't want to play these boring games with these people anymore.
Su Zhizhi went straight to find Shen Wenjun, and Shen Wenjun quickly sent troops, following the clues given by Su Zhizhi, all the way to the restaurant. Just as Su Peizhi said, these people were still talking about Xie Chengjin in the box.
