Ping'er and Pan'er were not bitten by poisonous snakes, and the black green on their faces was made by her special medicine powder. The child was safe and sound, and she and Xiao Linye were not in danger of their lives.

The spies and spies who followed Bai Yanshi went back to report their lives. They saw the little prince and the little princess' teeth marks bitten by poisonous snakes, and then they ignited the fire and burned it themselves, and nothing was left.

However, at night, the emperor and the queen who thought they were burned to death not only came back safely, but the guards brought from the capital actually surrounded the Bai Mansion and threw Bai Yanshi and all his family into prison, and were scheduled to be executed in a few days.

For a moment, Bai Yanshi and his family made terrified crying and begging for mercy, but they were still locked in a cell.

Xiao Linye also asked someone to release all the important news, saying that Bai Yan was afraid of finding out the facts of any crime, so he simply did not stop and burned the emperor and the queen to death in Daozhou and prevented them from returning to the capital.

In less than one night, everyone was panicked, especially those famous families, gentry and tyrants, who were afraid that the emperor would be angry and would not even dare to leave the gate.

The ones they fear most are the Zheng family, especially Zheng Qingfeng and Mrs. Zheng, who most want to put the emperor and the queen to death.

Now neither the emperor nor the queen were burned to death, and Bai Yanshi's family was locked in a cell and interrogated strictly. They could not imagine what would happen if Bai Yanshi confessed and vomited out evidence of the Zheng family's crime.

Zheng Qingfeng is a man without vision. Even his current official position was bought for tens of thousands of taels of silver. He was so scared that his palm was filled with fine and dense cold sweat. He said in a trembling voice, "Mom, what should I do now? If Bai Yan really made a move, we were damned behind our backs, would we still have a way out?"

Why are the emperor and the queen so lucky? They were burned for so long and never died? What kind of luck do they have? Is the Zheng family really dead this time?

Mrs. Zheng stared at her son's crying coldly, and scolded sternly, "What are you afraid of? What are you going to be confused? What does Bai Yanshi do have to do with us? Even if Bai Yanshi talks nonsense and there is no conclusive evidence, will the emperor and the queen believe him?"

Things have not reached an irreversible point. Does this stupid son actually want to expose his shortcomings to the emperor and the queen know?

Zheng Qingfeng was not as optimistic as his mother, and was so anxious that he was about to cry. "Bai Yanshi still had so many handles for us. He is dead now. What if he sacrificed his life and shook all the things we did? He had no evidence for this matter, but there was evidence for other things."

There was a burst of anger in the chest of Mrs. Zheng, forcing her to almost go crazy, "I was too careless and thought the emperor and the queen would be buried in the fire. Who expected that these two people were even more sinister and cunning than I thought. No wonder they had been killed countless enemies all the way over, but they were my love rivals. How could those who could defeat the deposed empress dowager and the late emperor and remove all the sons of the late emperor without getting dirty with their hands? "

"Qingfeng, there is only one way now." Old Mrs. Zheng looked at her eldest son with a ferocious face, like Shura crawling out of hell. "Only dead people can keep secrets. To keep our current glory and wealth, we can only kill Bai Yanshi and make him shut up completely."

Zheng Qingfeng, who had never had any skills, was startled by his mother's obedience, and there was a strong fear in his eyes, "Mom, is this really OK? How to kill someone in prison? What if he angered the emperor even more? Why don't we hand over the tax bank and admit our mistakes to the emperor and the queen and repent. I am really afraid of death, and I am even more afraid of the good days we have now."

After living a good life of wealth and wealth, who wants to fall into the mud and live worse than pigs and dogs?

Mrs. Zheng was so angry that she slapped her eldest son hard in the face, "Idiot! I have embezzled so much tax and silver. Do you think the emperor and the queen will let us go? That couple is not so kind. She wants to see us die more than anyone else. Do you understand? Even if we don't die, we will make it difficult for us to live and die! If you want to live such a life, then you will go by yourself. I want to eat delicious food, drink spicy food, dress well, and wear gold. Why do I have to be wronged by myself?"

Zheng Qingfeng covered his painful face and said aggrievedly, "Then do you think the cell is our family. You can go around and kill people when you want to. Things are not as easy as you think. Besides, the emperor and the queen are so smart people. If they are found out, we will take the initiative to send the handle to others."

Mrs. Zheng held back her anger and said, "Don't the jailers we raised before come in handy at this time? We need to do it ourselves? Poison the food or let the jailers pour the poison into Bai Yanshi's mouth in the middle of the night. In less than a few hours, he completely closed his eyes and everything became unproof."

Zheng Qingfeng sat in a depressed chair, his eyes were dull, as if tired of the days like this, "Mom, just make a decision on everything, no matter when you are."

Mrs. Zheng endured her words for a long time and finally blurted out, "Whether you are smarter and more alert, do you still need me to do it yourself? Do you think I want to worry about so many things. If the entire Zheng family depends on you, our whole family would have gone to drink the northwest wind long ago. If I could escape this disaster, I would never care about you again, so that you can feel good."

Zheng Qingfeng wanted to argue something, but when he reached his lips, he swallowed it again and could not say it anymore.

In Daozhou City, the Zheng family is the first family, with a wide range of connections and an illusion that people exist everywhere, whether in the yamen or in the market.

In her opinion, Mrs. Zheng wanted to poison Bai Yanshi, which was easy for her, because she had already inquired about the news before, and no one in the prison cell had changed into the emperor, and they were all the original prison guards. Since this is the case, no matter what she did, it would be too easy.

For dinner that day, the food that was added with poison was sent to Bai Yanshi.

However, just as Bai Yanshi picked up the bowl and wanted to eat it, the secret guards around Xiao Linye appeared, directly intercepted the food and gave it to the wild dogs caught from outside. The wild dogs quickly foamed at their mouths and swallowed completely in less than an incense stick.

The guards directly stopped the prison guard, interrogated them with special means, and asked sternly, "Tell me, who instructed you to poison Lord Bai? If you don't say that your whole family will not be able to survive!"

The jailer was beaten to the point of blood, leaving only half of his life, and regretted that his intestines were blue. In the extreme pain, he finally couldn't stand it anymore. He directly confessed to the Shangfeng who asked him to poison him, followed the clues and touched Mrs. Zheng's head all the way.

All the testimony was signed and even Bai Yanshi exposed all the dirty things the Zheng family had done before, with conclusive evidence.

Xiao Linye and Xu Muqing seized the opportunity and asked the guards and dead soldiers from the capital to surround the entire Zheng family's old house and directly led the people in.

Zheng Qingfeng couldn't help but be scared. When he saw the emperor bringing people to the army to seek revenge, his legs became weak and he fell directly to the ground.

Mrs. Zheng has seen big scenes. Even if someone pointed at her neck with a knife, she still remained calm and showed everyone's demeanor. She even laughed gracefully and calmly, "Emperor, Queen, I don't know what death penalty the Zheng family committed. It is worth the emperor and the queen brought so many people to arrest people."

Xu Muqing did not smile anymore this time, and she was too lazy to be silly with the old lady, "Don't have a show at this time. When the old lady wanted to bite the little prince and the little princess to death with a poisonous snake, and burn the emperor and the palace to death in the sea of ​​fire, did she ever think that this day would be the crime of regicide, but the nine clans were killed. Do you admit it or not?"

The old lady was very open-minded, "Is it Mr. Bai said? Did the emperor and the queen believe what Mr. Bai wants to kill the monarch. After the matter is exposed, he knows that he is dead. Of course, he wants to take someone to take the blame. The emperor and the queen have no conclusive evidence, so they will come to the Zheng family to arrest people. The old man is dissatisfied. If someone in the Zheng family commits a crime, the emperor and the queen have evidence, and the old man has nothing to say."

Xu Muqing was so angry that she laughed at the shameless old lady of the Zheng family. She was worthy of being the deposed empress dowager's sister. Her vicious attitude was exactly the same, which made her amazed.

"Of course it is not a crime of regicide. However, the Zheng family embezzled 500,000 taels of tax and silver. We must settle the accounts carefully. Xu Muqing threw the copy of the account book directly in front of the old lady. These embezzled tax and mined salt mines privately to make huge profits, but they were unwilling to hand the tax to the court. These things are always true. What else do you have to make a quibble?"

As the queen, Xu Muqing's aura naturally existed when she was majestic. The strong pressure on her body was emitted, which scared many of the Zheng family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law kneeled down, trembling with fear, and even more desperate in her eyes.

Mrs. Zheng said lightly, "It turns out that it's a tax silver business. The queen has no silver in the treasury, so I'm trying to find a way to ask for silver from the Zheng family? Then just say it's fine. The Zheng family is rich, and it's still worth tens of thousands or tens of thousands of taels of silver. There is no need to make some fake evidence to frame us. If you say that the Zheng family embezzles the tax silver, then you can send someone to search and find the silver. That's what I really committed, embezzle the tax silver."

She is worthy of being a noble lady who has experienced storms. The evidence is in front of her and she is unwilling to admit that her psychological quality and courage are no worse than Xiao Linye.

"Old lady, is it fun to turn right and wrong into black and white? I don't want to tell you so much nonsense. Is there any problem with the account book? There will be officials from the court in Daozhou to check it again, but now you are suspected of murdering the lives of the emperor and the queen, so no matter what, you have to stay in the prison for a few days. When you find out, you are innocent, and I will naturally let you out."

Emperor Xiao Linye's majesty was revealed, "But the iron-like evidence is in front of you, it is amazing that you can't let go. I think you can't escape this time. Come on, put all the people in the Zheng family in prison and find out the truth of the matter."

"You can't keep me, Your Majesty, this is a fraudulent evidence. The Zheng family did not evade taxes, nor did they kill the monarch. You must reason with your master." Old Mrs. Zheng said loudly with excitement, as if bone-eroding hatred swept over, making her whole body more ferocious than before.

Xiao Linye thought that this old poisonous woman wanted to burn them alive, and her anger couldn't help but rise, "You don't have to worry about any crimes that you want to add. No reason. I will try three times. If there are any evidences for the Zheng family, all the serious crimes committed by the Zheng family will be taken away!"

Those who came from the capital only ordered Emperor Yu and the Queen's guards to capture the people without any politeness. Soon all the masters of the Zheng family were arrested, and all the crying, screaming, and begging for mercy were heard.

Xu Muqing said behind, "Old Madam, if you want a poisonous snake to bite the little prince and the little princess to death, I will give you a big gift, please wait and see. By the way, you have poisoned Lord Bai's food, and those people have all been tricked, and it's okay for you to argue. I will show you more evidence of the crime and let everyone know what your Zheng family has done that is harmful to the world."

The men, women, young and old of the Zheng family were dragged down and imprisoned, and the whole world became pure.

Xiao Linye asked Xu Muqing, "Where is the abandoned yard you mentioned? Let's go and take a look."

Xu Muqing rolled her eyes dripped, and she didn't know what she thought of, leaned against Xiao Linye's ear and said, "Don't worry, I think the butler of the Zheng family is quite old, and it seems to be about the same age as Mrs. Zheng. At this time, she was still working in the Zheng family's old house. She didn't want to go back. Would she be too loyal?"

Xiao Linye quickly understood what she meant, "Otherwise, you can separate the servants and select a maid and a manager with great importance to interrogate them separately, and maybe you can ask for any useful clues."

Xu Muqing kept nodding her head, her eyes narrowed into a line with a smile, "It's still my husband who understands my thoughts, especially the butler, who is a bad old man, and he still refuses to delegate power. If you say there is nothing wrong with it, I don't believe it."

Xiao Linye rubbed her hair, turned around and ordered Feng Wu and Feng Liu to be responsible for the interrogation.

After talking about the housekeeper, Xiao Linye and Xu Muqing went directly to the abandoned yard, and their keen intuition told her that there must be some ulterior motives hidden there.

The guards and palace maids searched the abandoned yard in a carpet style, and there was no suspicious thing except the items used in the past.

Xiao Linye felt that everything was handled too cleanly, as if he was deliberately hiding something, and he vaguely smelled out an unusual meaning.

Just when they felt that there would be no discovery, a guard staggered and his body hit a bloody stain in the corner of the wall. With a rumbling sound, the door of the secret room was actually opened at this time.

It was a very small bedroom located in the dormitory, which only accommodated two people in and out. It was filled with wooden boxes and locked, and it looked very precious and important.

Xiao Linye and Xu Muqing moved out the wooden boxes and found a way to open them. There were some land deeds and land deeds inside, and another box contained a thick diary.

Xu Muqing opened her diary and focused on the latter part, and then she found important content in the following articles.

Zheng Qingfeng was not the biological son of Mr. Zheng, but the one whom Mrs. Zheng and others had to frame him after they had a baby.

Old Master Zheng did have a husband and wife with Lin before, and she turned her from a pure and flawless girl to a woman. She had been pregnant with children, but later she fell out in more than a month and found a way to give birth to someone else and ran over to deceive him.

At the beginning, Mr. Zheng was kept in the dark. It was not until Zheng Qingfeng was five years old that he discovered that he had a smart and sensitive second son and third son. In order not to affect the future of his two sons, Mr. Zheng swallowed the humiliation.

Lin was caught and began to feel restless. Especially Old Master Zheng later liked to linger in the Huajie Streets and Alleys, which made her love and hate her. So she bribed those who had Huayou disease, which made Old Master Zheng get Huayou disease, and even planned to cause him to get tuberculosis.

The last diary records that Mr. Zheng decided to kill Lin, let her die suddenly, and completely disappear from the Zheng family.

However, Xiao Linye and Xu Muqing could imagine that Lin was not killed, but Mr. Zheng died first.

Xu Muqing actually saw this bloody grudge and grudge, and was so shocked that his eyes were about to fall out.

She showed Mr. Zheng’s diary to Xiao Linye, “Husband, you guessed it is indeed correct. Lin is worthy of being a marquis. His ability to harm people is simply amazing. He is really a master of home fighting. She will kill her husband who wants to kill her."

Xiao Linye couldn't help but sigh, "The women in the Lin family are all tough characters, and no one can beat them. They are very powerful. The crime of intentional homicide and affair are enough to make Mrs. Zheng die miserably. These evidences are enough."

Xu Muqing shook her head and said seriously, "Of course these are not enough. What we want to investigate is the whereabouts of the tax bank. At best, she was ruined and embezzled 500,000 taels of tax bank is the biggest thing. Those are the hard-earned money of the people."

She shook her diary, "I guess the old lady wouldn't guess there would be a secret room here, otherwise she wouldn't have let the evidence stay for so long, and the paper would have turned yellow."

Xiao Linye smelled the rotten and moldy smell and couldn't help but say, "Mu Qing, otherwise we can go out here, and we don't seem to find any useful clues."

This abandoned yard is gloomy and covered with dust, making it uncomfortable to stay.

Xu Muqing retreated from the yard without any objection, waiting for the result of Feng Wu and Feng Liu's interrogation.

However, an hour passed, Feng Wu and Feng Liu came to pass the message, saying that nothing had been interrogated, and the butler's mouth was as tight as a clam shell and could not be pried open.

If it were before, Xu Muqing would definitely be surprised, but at this moment, she already had the answer in her heart.

Zheng Qingfeng should be the son of the butler and Mrs. Zheng. He holds huge wealth in his hand. Of course, the butler is not a fool. Even if his wife and son are all dead now, there is also a head of the Zheng family to be his strongest backing. After weighing the pros and cons, he is certainly willing to protect Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Zheng Qingfeng.

Xiao Linye's eyes were sarcastic, and he said a few words coldly, "Silly."

Are you still not seeing the situation when you die? The Zheng family is in great trouble, and there is no possibility of a salted fish turning over. He still dreams of having wealth and prosperity.

Xu Muqing suddenly became excited. She turned her head and said to Xiao Linye, "Your Majesty, why don't we come and interrogate this time. It's not far from the truth. We are idle."

Xiao Linye looked at her helplessly and docilely, and said to her, "If you want to interrogate, then interrogate. As long as you find it interesting and happy, I have no objection to everything."

So, the butler of the Zheng family was quickly brought to the emperor and the queen, with heavy shackles on both hands and feet, looking very embarrassed, and his eyes were filled with fear. Even so, he still had a little thought in his heart. Even if he had sex with his current wife and sons, he would have to exchange for wealth and glory.

Xu Muqing held a cup of tea that emitted a scent of misty fragrance, and still had a smile on her face. When she saw the butler's eyes, she looked like the most terrifying female ghost, so scared that she couldn't help but tremble.

"I heard you are unwilling to reveal anything about the old lady, right? Butler, the old lady seems to be very good to you. I really admire you for your loyal treatment."

The butler's head was hanging low and he didn't say a word, for the final persistence in his heart.

"I'm really very strong. Have you never tasted the taste of torture? Do you want to try it in front of the emperor and the palace?" Xu Muqing looked at the butler's lifeless look, and the anger in her heart couldn't help but surged up, giving her the urge to hit someone.

The housekeeper finally spoke, "What Caomin has always done is his own affairs. I don't know what the old lady did in private, and I don't know where the old lady and the master committed the crime. The emperor and the queen are going to kill and cut, please listen to the emperor, and the Caomin has nothing to say."

Xu Muqing actually laughed, "Butler, I'm afraid it's not because of loyalty. Do you really think that the dirty things you and the old lady did without knowing it? That's absolutely impossible. Zheng Qingfeng is not the old lady's son at all, but the evil seed of the old lady and you. Do you really think that you can cover this secret for the rest of your life without telling anything?"

The housekeeper's body steeply stiffened, and he raised his head in disbelief, and the blood on his face disappeared completely.
