When the second prince entered the Denwen Drum Courtyard, he immediately saw Tan Hanchi standing upright.
Although the scholar's face was pale, his eyes were bright and he did not look as dying as he had imagined.
The second prince couldn't help but shrink his pupils.
Zhufeng had previously found out that when Sheng Mingcheng was planning to attack Tan Hanchi, he had sent people to investigate this Zhuozhou official.
Although he occasionally strengthens his body on weekdays, he obviously has no strength to tie a chicken. Today, he suffered thirty major blows, but he still has some strength left?
Thinking back to the fact that Tan Hanchi escaped unharmed from the killers sent by Sheng Mingcheng before, and said that there was no expert guidance behind him, the second prince would not believe it no matter what!
Who in this capital city has such powerful hands and eyes? Not only did he understand the small moves of the Duke of Qing, but he also rushed to rescue Tan Hanchi and encouraged him to come and beat the drum to make things worse!
The second prince looked around and suddenly fell on Qiao Zhongguo beside him.
Today, Qiao Zhongguo repeatedly insisted on picking up Tan Hanchi personally. Although there was no difference with his usual personality, he had finally pinched the lifeline of Duke Qing. His attack was so sharp and deadly that people had to doubt it.
However, Qiao Zhongguo has always been peaceful and his military power is gone. With his ability, it is probably difficult to discover what Duke Qing has done...
After such analysis, the second prince had already figured out who the person behind Tan Hanchi was!
Prince...
Looking at the Yong Dynasty, there is no other person except him who has such means and scheming!
As for Qiao Zhongguo, he was probably ordered by the prince to keep Tan Hanchi alive.
The Qiao family is so close to the prince?
If the man on the dragon throne knew about this matter, it would surely bring a lot of trouble to the prince and the Qiao family...
Just within a few breaths of seeing Tan Hanchi, countless thoughts flashed through the second prince's mind and he made a choice.
Now that he is still young, it is not appropriate for him to confront the prince head-on.
When Sheng Qishan saw Qiao Zhongguo, he should have known that his Qingguo Palace could not be saved.
If Sheng Qishan had sense, he would have known to exchange the chips in his hands for something in time.
For example, to protect the bloodline of the Duke of Qing, and ask him to give Sheng Mingcheng and Sheng Xiuran a way to survive!
The moment Qiao Diyi saw the second prince appearing, he immediately hugged Qiao Jiaojiao and hid back in the crowd.
Qiao Jiaojiao saw the second prince standing motionless through the curtain hat, and she couldn't help but secretly complain:
[Damn the male protagonist, he might be thinking of some bad idea again! 】
[With dad here, Tan Hanchi will definitely be able to reach the Jinluan Palace safely. The Qingguo Palace will definitely fall! 】
[Based on the male protagonist’s scheming, he must make the last profit before Duke Qing falls! After all, the list of those who had cheated to get higher rankings in previous Chunwei years is still in the hands of Duke Qing! 】
[This list is awesome, because the people on it are all more or less officials in the court or local areas. Just follow the list and make sure it's accurate! 】
When Qiao Diyi heard this, he was already stunned!
After the little sister went to sleep last night, his father called him, his eldest brother, and Brother Tan into the study, and then said the same words as the little sister!
At that time, the eldest brother said that this list must not fall into the hands of the second prince, and then Brother Tan came up with a plan!
Qiao Diyi tossed and turned all night, and even now when he thinks of that plan, he still feels horrified.
He doesn't think Brother Tan's methods are too ruthless, but he really admires his thoughtfulness and good at guessing people's hearts!
According to the younger sister's prediction, Brother Tan was supposed to be the counselor beside the second prince.
The thought that the Qiao family would have such a terrifying enemy scared him so much that he couldn't sleep a wink all night!
Next, let’s see if Brother Tan’s guess is accurate!
After all, the Qiao family has made complete preparations according to Brother Tan's plan!
In the carriage at the entrance of the alley, Qingguo Duke Sheng Qishan had already put away the slump on his face.
Sheng Mingcheng thought that his grandfather had thought of another countermeasure, so he quickly raised a flattering smile.
At this time, Sheng Qishan rushed out of the car and shouted: "Go back home!"
Sheng Mingcheng asked carefully: "Grandpa, what should we do next?"
Sheng Qishan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were full of determination!
"Cheng'er, our Qingguo Duke's mansion will fail."
Sheng Mingcheng was so frightened by these words that he almost peed his pants!
"It can't be done? Grandpa, what do you mean it can't be done?"
At this time, Sheng Qishan no longer had the time or thought to blame his stupid grandson.
No matter how useless it is to complain, when the building is about to collapse, people's instinct is still to preserve the last trace of their own blood.
"Cheng'er, you heard grandpa say that if you interfere in the marriage and business rankings, once the coffin is finalized, it will be a capital crime for the whole family to be executed."
Sheng Mingcheng trembled when he heard this. He didn't expect that his temporary arrogance would kill everyone in the Duke's mansion!
"Don't cry! There's no point crying now! You must remember what grandpa says next no matter what!"
"Grandpa has a list in his hand, which records all the people who have bought positions and served as officials and ministers in the past three terms. What the second prince wants is this list."
"After we go back, grandpa will give you the list and keep it safe. Then you go to the second prince and tell him that if he wants the list, he must keep you and Ran'er!"
"You are of no use, so there is no need to think about revenge. Just let the second prince ensure that you have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life. Then...then you can let the second prince accept her!"
"You hand over one-third of the list to Ran'er and tell her not to be stupid and keep the list well. The second prince will naturally treat her well!"
The carriage moved forward in a sparkling way, and inside the carriage were the earnest words of Sheng Qishan.
His grandchildren are stupid, but he has to pave the way for them!
Sheng Mingcheng burst into tears when he heard this, and the regret and hatred in his heart really threatened to overwhelm him.
"Grandpa, where are you? Where are your parents? We have such a big family in the Duke of Qing's Mansion——"
Sheng Qishan closed his eyes tiredly and let out a long sigh.
"After you take the list, grandpa will write a confession and hang it on the beam of the ancestral hall, praying for the grace of God to leave a trace of my blood in the Qingguo Duke's family."
"You just need to hide the list, find the second prince, and do what grandpa just said."
"grandfather!"
Hearing this, Sheng Mingcheng couldn't bear it any longer, hugged Duke Qing's legs and cried bitterly.
"It's my grandson who deserves to die! My grandson will go to see the second prince and the prince right now. My grandson will also go and beat the drum to see the Holy One. Just say that it was all done by my grandson!"
Sheng Qishan shook his head. Perhaps he had seen through this fatal situation, but he calmed down.
"With your stupid virtue, can you possibly interfere in Chunwei's affairs?"
"That's all, I should have thought that this day would come sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly..."
The Qingguo Duke's carriage sped away, and faint heartbreaking cries could be heard in the carriage.
On this side, Qiao Diyi was watching his father pick up Brother Tan attentively, when a strong man next to him suddenly made a gesture to him calmly.
Qiao Diyi's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw this!
Sheng Qishan has returned home!
He returned the gesture, which meant—
Start closing the net!
