"Sir, this..." Liu Jue didn't dare to look directly at the golden dress and stammered, "Do we...should we report it?"
Xie Li looked at him with a gentle expression, but his words were very cold, "If you know the information and fail to report it, you will be punished with the same crime."
Liu Jue's body suddenly trembled and he quickly took two steps back, "The official was just confused. This matter must be reported to the emperor!"
King Runan had been sentenced to death. Xie Li was in a good mood and didn't want to argue with him. He raised his chin and said, "The backyard hasn't been searched yet. Let's go and take a look."
"Yes." Liu Jue stretched out his hand and carefully led the way, "Thank you for your invitation, sir."
The group of people arrived in the backyard, looking menacing, and it was obvious that they were coming with bad intentions.
King Runan's family has been controlled for a long time. Several concubines gathered around and kept begging to let them go.
Princess Runan stood aside with an ashen face, guarding her two sons behind her, staring closely at Xie Li, the leader, with alert eyes, "What on earth are you going to do? How can the Runan Palace allow you to be so presumptuous!"
"Isn't the princess clear about what we are going to do?" do what?"
Princess Runan was stunned for a moment, and then she saw the golden robe in Changfan's arms. She was so frightened that she froze in place, but she still defended her husband, "This...this is impossible...this is framed by someone, and the prince will never do it." in this way!"
"The prince and the princess have a deep love for each other, so it is understandable that he speaks for him." Xie Li's smile remained unchanged, not affected by Princess Runan's words at all, "I just don't know if the emperor will believe these words if he hears them. ?”
"you!"
"Princess, you should save some energy." Xie Li interrupted her with a calm expression, "In case you end up on the road to hell and cannot catch up with the prince."
Princess Runan was extremely angry, but she had no choice but to do anything. She was facing a dead end. Even if she made a big fuss, it would only increase the pain.
"Presumptuous! Why are you talking to my mother-in-law?" Yuan Tian jumped out, pointed at him angrily and cursed, "You use a chicken feather as an arrow, do you think you are a good bird?"
Xie Li looked at him, his eyes full of horror.
However, in just one month, Yuan Tian's appearance changed drastically. Although his cheeks were sunken and his body was weak due to the torment of men and women, he was still a handsome young man.
Nowadays, Yuan Tian's face is powdered, and his face seems to have rolled around in a white flour vat. He also sipped the lipstick, and his clothes are also colorful.
If Yuan Tian's facial features hadn't changed, Xie Li would have almost not recognized him.
Seeing that Xie Li didn't say anything, Yuan Tian was smug and thought he had scared him, so he immediately got angry and said, "My father's matter has not been settled yet, and you guys barged in and bullied our family. Who gave you the courage! "
After saying that, he stamped his feet angrily.
Xie Li was startled by his actions and couldn't help but take two steps back, a trace of disgust flashed across his face.
Seeing his expression, Yuan Tian suddenly became angry. He put his hands on his hips and asked sharply, "Good Xie Li, what's that expression on your face?"
Xie Li did not want to talk to him, so he waved his hand casually and said in a deep voice, "The family members of the King of Runan will be imprisoned. No one will be left behind. Anyone who tells the story of King Runan's crimes will be given a lighter punishment."
"yes."
"Xie Li, you bastard, you..."
Yuan Tian wanted to say something more, but the people brought by Xie Li tightly covered his mouth to prevent him from disgusting others.
"Thank you, sir, let's..." Liu Jue looked at Xie Li aside, then at the gold and silver treasures in the front yard, and whispered, "What should we do now?"
Xie Li's expression did not change and he spoke slowly, "Take your book and follow me into the palace."
When Liu Jue heard this, he immediately cheered up and responded quickly, "Yes."

Yongcheng Houfu
Fang Xu sat in front of the case, looking down at the account books in the house with a serious expression.
Shen Ji was not far away from her, holding an embroidery needle and tinkering with the embroidery pattern. Next to his hand was a steaming soup potion, and on his lap was a soup potion that Fang Xu often used.
"lady."
In the silence, Shen Ji slowly opened his mouth.
Fang Xu raised his head when he heard the sound and met his eyes with doubts in his eyes, "What's wrong?"
Shen Ji put down the embroidery sample in his hand, looked very calm, and said warmly, "Cen Zhenjiang and King Runan have been arrested, and the gold and copper mines have been sealed."
Fang Xu naturally knew the news, but he had to pretend that he had just heard it and asked softly, "How come it's so fast?"
"Maybe I can't wait any longer." Shen Ji raised his eyes, his eyes fell on her face, and said with a smile, "Unfortunately, most of the gold mines were stolen, so the reward this time may be smaller."
Fang Xu frowned, pretending to be surprised, "How could the gold mine be stolen? Has anyone found out who did it?"
Shen Ji shook his head slowly and said in a low voice, "The person behind the scenes acted very safely and cautiously without any clues."
Fang Xu frowned even more tightly and murmured, "How could this be so..."
Shen Ji chuckled, looking helpless, "The emperor was furious and ordered a strict investigation of the whereabouts of those gold mines. He also searched my place and Lian's house."
Fang Xu paused with his fingertips, and the ink dripped onto the paper, smearing it all over.
"Searched you?" Fang Xu felt surprised and his face changed, "Don't you trust the emperor the most? How could..."
Shen Ji looked at her with a slight smile on his lips, "How many of the king's casual words can you trust easily?"
Shen Ji sat up straight and met her eyes, "That's all I want. Young Master Lian and the one above are cousins, and they made great contributions on the day they seized the throne. Now that they are being investigated, they are so angry that they are cursing."
Fang Xu's eyes flashed, his eyes fell on him, and he said softly, "You told me this, but what are your thoughts?"
"Madam, you are smart." Shen Ji smiled, with soft eyes, "I have discussed with Xie Li. I should plan more for myself in the future. It is impossible to save my life by putting all my wealth on Jun Xin."
Shen Ji paused, covered his eyes, and said warmly, "Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. This is true. General Song's incident reminds me every day. Xie Li also lived a life of trepidation. Loyal ministers may not be good. In the end, we just want to protect ourselves wisely."
Hearing this, Fang Xu lowered his eyelids as if thinking, with no trace of happiness or anger on his face.
After a while, Xucai quietly said, "In your opinion, why do you protect yourself so wisely?"
Shen Ji pursed his thin lips and met her gaze, a little nervous for no reason, "To expand my own power, now Xie Li and Qingfeng and I are of the same mind. Above the court, we hug each other, and outside the court, Xie Li is on good terms with Mr. Lian and is his brother-in-law, which gives him even more confidence."
"If the new emperor is still transparent, we will be loyal ministers, but if..."
Shen Ji swallowed the rest of his words, but his meaning was clearly stated here, making it difficult for people to guess.
Fang Xu was silent for a while and then said softly, "On the day he seized power, he relied on the support of many people to get to the position. If his original intention is not there and the loyal generals disperse, who else will be his backer?"
Fang Xu sighed softly, "I hope that child can understand."
