As night falls, Jincheng is shrouded in black clouds and becomes deathly silent.
The people outside the door were exhausted mentally and physically, and the pain brought them overwhelming pressure. Unexpectedly, behind the closed door, the people here were singing and dancing, drunk and dreaming, and were so happy.
In the night sky, three black shadows fell silently on the roof.
Although An Xiyue doesn't know martial arts, fortunately Yu Wenjing and Mei Shuqing are good at martial arts, and they can carry An Xiyue without being discovered by anyone.
At this time, Mei Shuqing looked in one direction and whispered softly: "We came in through a corridor just now. Once we entered this courtyard, it felt very familiar. It seemed that I had secretly followed Ma Dachuan two days ago. My wife has been here before, but in order not to alert others, and it was daytime, I didn’t follow up to take a look, but I know this is Xu Wei’s mansion.”
An Xiyue said: "The sealed-up Prefect Xu's house? Xu's house has obviously been ransacked and the gates have been sealed. This person is so brave. He dares to open a brothel in Xu's house and openly solicit customers. Aren't they afraid? Will their heads be in danger if the Emperor discovers it?"
"Based on my many years of experience with Nangong Yuanyi, there is generally only one kind of situation like this." Yu Wenjing blinked pretending to be profound. He raised his chin slightly, as if waiting for the two's compliments.
An Xiyue rolled her eyes and interrupted Yu Wenjing, "What you want to express is that there are people in the court who are good at being officials. This is the survival rule of the officialdom."
Yu Wenjing knew that An Xiyue was very courageous, but he didn't expect that she was also very transparent as a woman. Nangong Yuanyi had said before that it was impossible for Xu Wei to embezzle such a huge amount of money based on his ability. Besides, no matter how courageous Xu Wei was, After all, Concubine Ying in the palace must be deeply loved by the emperor. He should not dig his own grave and ruin the future of Concubine Ying and the sixth prince. However, he did not expect that Xu Wei would plead guilty so quickly and things would progress smoothly.
Afterwards, behind the calm situation in Jincheng turned out to be a bigger storm.
Suddenly, the pile of flowers that Li Yun'er pulled on the ground frequently appeared in An Xiyue's mind. At first, she thought that Li Yun'er might throw something into it, such as mixing up a note for sending a message or other tokens. Unexpectedly, except for a large The flowers she piled up for venting turned out to be nothing.
Previously, she thought she was overthinking or seeing things wrongly. Now looking at the yard at her feet and recalling Li Yun'er's last look, An Xiyue finally understood what she wanted to express, "Perhaps all The secrets are all in this Xu Mansion."
"Yue'er, what did you think of?" Mei Shuqing asked tentatively when he saw An Xiyue's serious expression.
"Xu Wei has been the prefect of Jincheng for decades. His father and ancestors all lived in Jincheng and were quite wealthy. It is impossible for such a century-old family to kill the Xu family's prestige with just an imperial edict from the Holy Emperor. "
Because Xu Wei in his previous life did not die, but was exiled and was never allowed to return to Beijing.
An Xiyue knew that perhaps a lot of things had changed because of her arrival, but Xu Taishou, who had no relationship with her, would never die so easily, no matter in his previous life or in this life.
Suddenly, sparse footsteps came from the quiet courtyard. The leader nodded and bowed, for fear of offending the nobleman.
Through the hazy night and the candle lights on the corridor, I saw a beautiful man in rich clothes slowly walking closer and closer.
