"You...who are you!"
Sheng Mingcheng spoke in a trembling voice, his legs almost turning into cotton.
"do not move!"
The voice behind the ear was deep and cold, irresistible.
Then a big hand reached into Sheng Mingcheng's arms and took out a stack of banknotes and a tightly wrapped envelope.
When Sheng Mingcheng saw this, he immediately started struggling fiercely.
No matter how stupid he is, he can see now that this group of people has been waiting here for the list in his arms!
who is it!
Who knew a long time ago that the Qingguo Palace would be destroyed, so he stayed here and waited.
Who knew long ago that the Duke of Qing had such a list!
"Your Highness is indeed a mastermind! The list has been found!"
The man in black lowered his voice and spoke solemnly.
When Sheng Mingcheng heard this, he felt like the world was spinning!
The second prince!
It is indeed the second prince!
Who else knows about Chunwei's fraud, and who wants this list so desperately!
Grandpa regards the second prince as his final savior. Who would have thought that the second prince is the real life-saving talisman of their Qingguo Palace!
"Master——"
Sheng Mingcheng opened his mouth in despair and despair, but before he could shout, he was knocked unconscious by a palm!
The two men in black looked at the Sheng brothers and sisters who were both fainting on the ground. They suddenly looked at each other and smiled, grinning under the black cloth.
According to the eldest young master's instructions, these two people need to be moved to a nest to prevent them from being easily found by people sent by the court or the second prince.
That's right, the true identities of these two people are actually the Qiao family's secret guards!
According to Tan Hanchi's guess, Duke Qing knew that he could not protect himself, so he would definitely do his best to preserve the blood of the Duke's family.
Both Sheng Mingcheng and Sheng Xiuran were embarrassed, so they could only place their chips on the second prince.
And the only thing that can make the second prince's heart flutter is the list that General Qiao mentioned!
After all, Tan Hanchi was sure that Duke Qing would let Sheng Mingcheng escape with the list before the palace issued an order, and then find an opportunity to find the second prince.
The Qiao family only needs to arrange for people to stand guard at various exits of the Qingguo Palace. Anyone who sees Sheng Mingcheng and Sheng Xiuran sneaking away without their servants must have a list!
They have no power to tie the chicken, so they can just grab the list.
At this time, Qiao Tianjing had a flash of inspiration and thought of a trick.
Regarding Chun Wei, my father will definitely stand up for Brother Tan at the Jinluan Palace. This move may arouse the suspicion of the second prince and make him target the Qiao family in advance, so he must cause some trouble for him.
For example, when snatching the list, pass the blame to the second prince, and then keep Sheng Mingcheng and Sheng Xiuran.
After Sheng Mingcheng survives, he will definitely hate the second prince for taking away his last support.
A dandy with no brains like Sheng Mingcheng, who is used to rich clothes and fine food, will definitely become even crazier once he is cornered.
At that time, all he had to do was use his mouth to tell the truth that the second prince had known about Chunwei's fraud for a long time, but deliberately covered it up in order to gain benefits from it.
Sending a few more people to fan the flames and make the matter bigger will be enough for the second prince to be very anxious!
In the study that night, when they heard Qiao Tianjing's words, Qiao Zhongguo and the others all gave a thumbs up in unison.
Tan Hanchi said bluntly, "Brother Qiao, it has to be you who kills people and punishes the heart!"
Qiao Diyi looked uneasy, "The twists and turns you literati make are really terrifying!"
Qiao Zhongguo smiled pretendingly, "Boss is indeed half as charming as I was back then!"
Qiao Tianjing narrowed his eyes and smiled modestly, "I'm good at giving out awards and giving people trouble."
——————
After Tan Hanchi was taken into the palace, Qiao Diyi took Qiao Jiaojiao back to Qiao Mansion.
He specifically took leave today and was sitting in Qiao Zhongguo's study, anxiously waiting for news from the secret guard.
About half an hour later, two figures fell outside the study window.
Qiao Diyi, who was very skilled in martial arts, stood up immediately when he heard the noise, only to see two men in black with their heads and faces covered jump in.
"How is it?" Qiao Diyi asked straight to the point.
"Return to the Second Young Master, fortunately you have lived up to your destiny!"
The man in black handed an envelope, a thick stack of banknotes, and two sachets to Qiao Diyi.
"Did you get the sachet back too?" Qiao Diyi finally had a smile on his face.
The man in black in front of him smiled.
"In compliance with the eldest young master's instructions, they must be left penniless, so even the jewelry on Miss Sheng's body was taken off and kept in the sachet."
"Good brothers, thank you for your hard work. I will tell dad the truth when I come back!"
Qiao Diyi dealt with everyone so carelessly.
The secret guard hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, then disappeared into the darkness and retreated.

You can hear the needle drop in Jinluan Hall at this time.
Emperor Yong held the dragon chair tightly with both hands, so hard that his veins popped out!
Just now Tan Hanchi entered the palace, and Emperor Yong asked him about his grievances. Tan Hanchi was neither humble nor overbearing, and bluntly said that Chun Wei was unfair, making everyone take a breath of air!
Emperor Yong asked him again what evidence he had, and Tan Hanchi boasted boldly, saying that his article was the evidence!
At this point, everyone thought that Tan Hanchi had gone insane and suffered from hysteria after failing the exam, so he went to beat the Dengwen drum fearlessly.
But when the person was already in front of him, Emperor Yong asked him to recite the article and let so many great scholars and knowledgeable people in the hall judge him.
As a result, Emperor Yong was stunned as soon as Tan Hanchi opened his mouth.
Because he had just read the article Tan Hanchi recited two days ago, and even praised it in front of the prince!
Xin Ruizhi, the Minister of Rites, was still a little bit lucky. No matter how Tan Hanchi argued, he only had to insist that Chunwei was absolutely fair and just.
But who would have thought that Tan Hanchi could recite Chun Wei's poem word for word!
But this article is still one of the top three, and it was just submitted to the Holy One two days ago!
Hearing this, Xin Ruizhi looked gloomy and defeated, and his two limbs were fighting, already knowing that his death was imminent.
"Okay - okay - okay -"
Emperor Yong said three words in a row, but the next moment he pulled off the bead string from his wrist and smashed it to the ground!
"Chun Wei was originally supposed to select knowledgeable, ambitious and talented people for the imperial court and the Yong Dynasty, but now he is actually being used by people with ulterior motives to use power for personal gain and deceive superiors and subordinates!"
Everyone in the palace was a little confused when they heard this.
This article is indeed good, but is it too early for the Holy Spirit to make this conclusion...
It’s not impossible that this person’s article was scrapped because it was anticlimactic.
Seeing everyone's confused expressions, Emperor Yong suddenly stood up and said angrily: "Xin Ruizhi, get out of here!"
"This is one of the first and third articles you submitted to me. You can't help but hear it, right?"
When Xin Ruizhi heard that the color inside was as white as snow, he crawled and knelt down to the palace and shouted for mercy to Emperor Yong.
Only then did all the courtiers suddenly realize.
This student’s spring work turned out to be a first-class masterpiece!
Xin Ruizhi is really bold and dares to tamper with Chunwei!
He's finished!
