There was silence in the back hall of the Chen Mansion. The names Jiaotu and Yunyang were like two sharp knives thrust into Chen Liqin's chest. For a moment, his energy and blood surged, and his whole body became weak.

Mrs. Liang stood up, supported him, and asked in a low voice: "Master, maybe it's not a big deal?"

Chen Liqin sighed in his heart. The rabbit and the sheep are the twelve zodiac signs. It must be a big deal if two zodiac signs come to visit at the same time. How could an ordinary trivial matter alarm them?

He thought about it again and again and ordered the boy: "Invite them in..."

Before he finished speaking, a frivolous voice came from far away from outside the door: "No need to invite, we have already come in. It is rare that Mr. Chen is so polite to our ceremonial supervisor. It is really surprising. I was worried that Mr. Chen would not let us in."

Come in."

Everyone in the back hall looked at them at the same time, only to see Yun Sheep in front and Hare behind. They walked leisurely through the arch and went straight to the back hall.

Yunyang was dressed in black, which made his face fair and handsome.

He was seen holding an envelope in his right hand and slowly slapping the palm of his left hand, like a scholar and nobleman coming to a banquet with an invitation.

Yunyang looked into the back hall with a smile: "Hey, there are so many people here, are they discussing some important matter? Mr. Chen, we are here at the wrong time, why don't we come to visit another day?"

He stopped in front of the door, looked at the couplets in the back hall of Chen's house, and muttered: "Wen Tong means luck... Mr. Chen, I'm afraid Wen Tong will not be able to get luck."

Chen Liqin's heart skipped a beat as he looked at the envelope in the other person's hand... The person who came was indeed evil.

He whispered to Chen Wenzong, Chen Wenxiao, Liang and others: "I will discuss important matters with Lord Jiaotu and Yunyang. Please step back."

"Wait a minute!" Yunyang smiled brightly: "Mr. Chen, what we are going to talk about is nothing shameful. You can stay and listen."

Chen Liqin's face darkened.

Yunyang said with great interest: "Master Chen, don't you give me a cup of tea?"

Mrs. Liang quickly got up and walked out, raising her hand to greet the maid: "Make tea for the guests."

Yunyang nodded with satisfaction. He looked around and found that there was only one empty chair, so he turned and stared at Chen Wenxiao.

It wasn't until Chen Wenxiao stood up and got out of the way that he thanked him and greeted Jiaotu with a smile: "Jiaotu, come and sit down."

Yunyang's eyes swept over Chen Ji without stopping, and Chen Ji never looked at them. He just looked at the beams in the back hall without saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking.

Yunyang glanced at him again out of the corner of his eye, turned around and asked Chen Liqin curiously: "Sir Chen, what important matter was the Chen family discussing just now? Can you tell me about it?"

Chen Wenzong said coldly: "How can a guest come to the host's house to inquire about the family affairs? If you, the Chief of Ceremonies, want to make things difficult for us, you can just state your purpose directly, and there is no need to pretend here."

Yunyang raised his eyebrows: "Hey, you can't even ask? Is there any shameful secret in the Chen family? I, the secret agent, patrol the sky to share your Majesty's worries. The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are state affairs, so why shouldn't we ask?

?”

Chen Wenzong said angrily: "You..."

Mrs. Liang was worried that her son would offend the eunuchs and hurried back to the house and pulled Chen Wenzong aside.

She smiled and explained to Yunyang: "Two adults, what we have just discussed is a family matter. My third son of the Chen family was naughty when he was young and got into the bad habit of gambling. Now that he suddenly got a fortune, I will do this."

My mother was worried that he would make the same mistake again, so she wanted him to deposit the money in Chen's palace to prevent him from squandering it again."

Jiaotu said as if he suddenly realized something: "Is your name, the third son of the Chen family, Chen Wenxiao?"

Mrs. Liang was startled: "My lord, I made a mistake. My name is Chen Ji, the third son of the Chen family. Here, he is the one standing at the door."

Jiaotu glanced at Yunyang in confusion: "Isn't that right?"

Yunyang also became confused: "It's indeed wrong!"

When Chen Liqin saw the two of them looking like this, he suddenly became confused: "What are you two talking about?"

Yunyang stood up with a smile and handed out the envelope in his hand: "Master Chen, let's take a look at the contents of this envelope first."

Chen Liqin reached out to pick it up, and when he touched the envelope, he saw Yunyang pulling the envelope back again.

Yunyang looked at Mrs. Liang and said jokingly: "Madam, are there any Angong Niuhuang Pills in the house? I have to prepare them for Mr. Chen to prevent him from passing out after reading the contents in the letter."

Chen Liqin snorted angrily: "Master Yunyang, you can kill or cut him up as you please, but there is no need to tease me like this!"

He took the envelope from Yunyang's hand, shook the paper open and took a look, his brows suddenly relaxed.

This is not the message he wrote to Mr. Feng to beg the thieves!

It’s okay if it’s not!

However, when he looked down again, his expression became solemn again.

While Chen Liqin was reading the paper, he glanced at Chen Wenxiao who was standing aside.

As he watched, he suddenly roared at Chen Wenxiao: "Look at the good things you have done!"

Mrs. Liang was confused and hurriedly came forward and asked, "What's going on, master? Why are you so angry with your son for no reason?"

Chen Liqin threw the paper into Liang's arms: "See for yourself, this is the result of doting on him every day!"

Chen Wenxiao didn't know the reason at first, but when he heard this, he finally remembered what he had written to the Secret Service, and his face suddenly turned pale!

He subconsciously glanced at Chen Ji, then turned to look at Chen Liqin: "Father, I was forced to write it down. I never did those things!"

"Oh?" Jiaotu said playfully: "Master Chen, you mean that our Secret Service has tortured you to extract a confession? May I ask if you had any injuries on your body at that time?"

Chen Wenxiao murmured: "No...no."

Jiaotu let out a chuckle: "That's strange. There are no injuries on your body. How did we force you to write this confession? Please don't frame us, otherwise we will arrest you again and verify it."

Chen Liqin looked at Chen Wenxiao angrily: "Stop sophistry!"

It wasn't until he saw this confession that he suddenly understood that all the misdeeds on Chen Ji's body over the years were all caused by Chen Wenxiao.

Did Chen Ji explain it? Of course he did, but at that time Chen Ji complained about injustice, and he didn't believe it at all.

But now, Chen Wenxiao confessed everything in his confession, and the truth has been revealed.

Chen Liqin's face turned blue and red for a while, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Chen Wenzong looked at his father, then at his mother, and suddenly became confused: "What confession did Wenxiao write?"

As he said that, he leaned over to take a look.

But Liang quickly folded up the confession and said as if nothing had happened: "You have nothing to do here. Wen Zong and Chen Ji, please leave first."

"Wait, Chen Ji?" Jiaotu stood up and asked doubtfully: "My wife said earlier that the name of the third son of the Chen family is Chen Ji. This is written in the confession. Chen Wenxiao planted all the gambling debts on Chen Ji...

Hey, boy, is your name Chen Ji?"

Chen Ji was startled: "It's me."

The White Rabbit clicked his tongue twice: "It's so unlucky to help my brother take such a big blame. Earlier we also heard that there was an unfilial concubine in the Chen family who was addicted to gambling, but we didn't expect that he was framed."

Chen Ji suddenly turned his head to look at Mr. Liang, then looked at Chen Liqin after a moment, and said in disbelief: "Mr. Chen, is what Mr. White Rabbit said true?"

When Chen Liqin heard this, Mr. Chen, his heart stung again: "Yes..."

Mrs. Liang hurriedly grabbed his arm: "Master, this is a scandal in the Chen family. It must not be spread anymore."

Chen Liqin flicked his sleeves, threw Mr. Liang aside, and asked angrily: "How long will you continue to favor Chen Wenxiao? People have already come to you with confessions to prosecute. Do you still think this matter can be covered up?"

Yunyang smiled and started to make peace: "Mr. Chen, please don't get me wrong. We were cleaning up the documents before evacuating Luo City and accidentally turned over this confession. Mr. Chen loves the people like his own children. After coming to Luo City, he did everything himself.

Luo

The city is well maintained, which makes me admire. When we turned to this confession, we both felt that we should not keep this thing, so we sent it to return it. We had no intention of launching an attack. After all, I, the Secret Service, also

Never mind this kind of thing."

Chen Liqin remained silent.

He always felt that what happened today was a little weird. It was as if Yun Yang and Jiao Rabbit had come all the way to defend Chen Ji, but it happened to be this matter, and it happened to be at this time.

He knew very well what a cruel and ruthless person the secret agent Zodiac was, and he would not believe a word of it when the other party said that he returned the confession because he admired him.

But here's the problem, what kind of characters are the twelve zodiac signs under the command of the internal minister, and why would they come specifically to stand up for Chen Ji?

The more Chen Liqin thought about it, the more confused he became.

At this time, Yun Yanggong cupped his hands and said: "Since the confession has been delivered, we will not disturb you anymore and take our leave."

After saying that, he suddenly stepped forward, leaned over Chen Liqin's ear, and said in a very low voice: "Mr. Chen, do you still remember what you wrote in Prince Jing's Mansion? I am afraid that my Secret Service knows more than you do.

There is more than you can imagine.”

Chen Liqin's expression suddenly changed!

It turned out that the other party really knew about this, and the confession was indeed in the hands of the Secret Service. The purpose of the other party's trip to send him a confession was to beat him.

Chen Liqin lowered his voice and asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Yunyang actually didn't know what Chen Liqin had written, but Chen Ji asked them to say it. He also didn't expect that Chen Liqin would have such a big reaction when he heard this.

But the play must go on.

Yunyang said with a smile but not a smile: "Mr. Chen, we haven't decided what we want to do yet. We will tell you when we think about it. White Rabbit, let's go."

He turned and left, followed by the rabbit.

When passing by Chen Ji at the door, she turned her back to the others and asked in a whisper as quiet as a mosquito: "Master Chen, how is my performance? If you are satisfied, I will reward you."

Before Chen Ji could react, Jiaotu had already left with a chuckle.

There was deathly silence in the back hall of the Chen Mansion, except for the sound of Chen Liqin's heavy breathing.
