"Hehehe..." Jin Shuai couldn't help but sneer, a mocking look on his face. He slowly said, "Such a meticulously planned arrangement, it can be described as interlocking and step-by-step! However, Quan Dadao seems to be experienced in handling affairs, but in reality, he is extremely foolish! Didn't he realize that royal matters cannot be treated like child's play? He dared to come and claim kinship based solely on one side's account without verifying it from multiple sources. If this really comes true, it will become a huge joke! I wonder how things will develop next?" After saying this, Jin Shuai's lips curled up slightly, and he looked at Bao Zheng with great interest.

Bao Zheng, also smiling, replied, "Your Excellency truly has sharp eyes and keen insight! Hahahaha... You are absolutely right! Those two brothers, seeing their conspiracy about to be exposed, have started feigning madness and are causing a ruckus in my Kaifeng Prefecture. Clearly, they are trying to escape punishment by being convicted of insanity. But how could I so easily grant their wish? I have already submitted a detailed account of the entire matter to His Majesty; now we only need to await His Majesty's decision."

Upon hearing this, Jin Shuai burst into laughter again, then said, "Hahahaha... In my opinion, these two must be so desperate for a life of luxury that they're willing to take such risks, attempting to rise to the top through such despicable means. Since that's the case, why not simply send them to the mines and make them obediently dig for ore for ten years? This would create a stark contrast and serve as a good warning. Hehehe, wouldn't that be a brilliant solution?"

Bao Zheng nodded repeatedly in agreement and laughed, "Your Excellency's suggestion is excellent! If His Majesty ultimately entrusts this case to me for judgment, then I will certainly comply without hesitation. Hahaha... Sending these two ignorant fools to mine is indeed the best thing ever!" After saying this, Bao Zheng and Jin Shuai exchanged a smile, both quite satisfied with this idea.

On his way home, Jin Shuai muttered to himself as he walked, "If our Emperor Zhao knew this news, he would be greatly disappointed! There's nothing he can do about it, since he's destined to be childless! Oh dear, this is troublesome!" Thinking this, Jin Shuai couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Upon returning to the Jin residence, Commander Jin quickly returned to his daily routine, as usual. The days passed by at a leisurely pace, and before he knew it, several more days had gone by.

Early that morning, sunlight streamed through the window into the room. Jin Shuai had just finished breakfast and was about to rest when a servant rushed in, followed by a pallbearer. The pallbearer quickly approached Jin Shuai and, without any hesitation, said bluntly, "Your Excellency, the Emperor requests your immediate presence in the palace."

Upon hearing this, Jin Shuai was slightly taken aback, then asked with a wry smile, "It's only been a few days since things calmed down, why is something else happening? What is it about?"

The man standing to the side quickly replied, "Your Excellency, it concerns the Worry-Free Cave."

Jin Shuai had initially intended to dawdle a bit, but upon hearing that it was related to the Worry-Free Cave, his expression instantly turned serious. Without the slightest delay, he quickly got up, hurriedly changed into a proper set of clothes, and then sped off towards the palace with Liao Zi.
