Bei Chenling frowned helplessly, looking tired, she pinched between her brows with two fingers, thinking about what to do next. These old subordinates of Duke Zhen Guo were more difficult to deal with each other, and they all had stinky and hard tempers, which cost Bei Chenling a lot of energy.

Yunyan just got in touch with one of the old divisions, trying to break into them and negotiate with the higher-ups, but they went into trouble. trace.

Beichenling was quite troubled by this, and had not rested for nearly half a month.

However, she couldn't think of any good countermeasures for this matter for a while. She sighed softly, shook her head, and instructed the people behind her:

"Let's see if you can find a chance to meet Sui Ming."

The man in black knelt down respectfully, and when Bei Chenling finished speaking, he said "yes" and wanted to retreat.

"Wait a minute."

Bei Chenling suddenly spoke.

His figure was stunned.

"You send someone to check the events of that year again. The case of Linping Village in Xingbei Queyang and the extermination of the Guogong family in Jingzhong Town must be thoroughly checked again to see if anyone survived."

Beichenling's words made the man in black very surprised. He knew that Beichenling had been brooding about the demise of the Duke of Zhenguo's house. He had checked it many times over the years, but there was still nothing new to discover, so he gradually stopped mentioning it. Why do you suddenly say that you want to review the old case from that year?

Even if you want to investigate the massacre at Duke Zhenguo's mansion, how could Xing Beiqueyang be involved? Moreover, these two incidents happened more than ten years ago, and it is really not easy to trace them now.

But what Bei Chenling ordered, he could only try to achieve, and could not raise objections, so after Bei Chenling finished speaking, he buried his head lower and replied respectfully:

"Yes."

Lin Aoxue came out of Bei Chenling's bedroom and walked along the path in the Prince Zong's mansion. Seeing that he was about to reach the gate of the palace, someone suddenly walked out and raised his hand to stop her.

"Lin Qianhu, please stay."

Again, such a plain and rigid tone.

Lin Aoxue raised her head and glanced at the man in the clothes of a servant of the palace. She sighed helplessly in her heart. There are so many truths today. She just met Bei Chen Ling and was immediately invited by Bei Chen He. I really don't know this father and daughter. What kind of medicine did the two of them sell in their gourds?

She stopped, her eyes implying the meaning of inquiry. The attendant did not change his face, with a business-like attitude:

"Your Highness has a request."

Lin Aoxue turned around again, and followed the cold-faced attendant to the other side of the palace. When they reached Bei Chenhe's study, the attendant sent Lin Aoxue to him and took the initiative to leave.

Lin Aoxue stepped forward and gently knocked on the door of the study, and Bei Chenhe's deep and heavy voice came from inside:

"Come in."

Lin Aoxue pushed open the door and walked in, knelt down and bowed her head in a one-knee salute:

"Lin Aoxue pays homage to the prince."

Seeing her, Bei Chenhe showed a kind smile on his face, got up actively, walked out from behind the case, personally supported Lin Aoxue's arms, and gently supported her:

"Lin Qianhu, I don't know what happened to the injury on your shoulder?"

Lin Aoxue kept her expression still, and answered respectfully with her eyes lowered:

"Thank you for your concern. The wound on the lower shoulder has healed a lot. I heard that the county master said that it was the prince who begged for mercy in front of the saint, and he can get rid of his sins. The great kindness of the prince will be remembered in my heart."

Of course, Bei Chenling didn't tell her about this matter. Yunyan told her about it later. Yunyan didn't know anything about Lin Aoxue's imprisonment at the beginning, but then the emperor got angry and made a big noise on Mingting Mountain. Yun Yan paid attention for a while and knew the follow-up.

Yunyan was a subordinate of Beichenling, she guessed that Beichenling wanted to stay with Lin Aoxue, and wanted to win over Lin Aoxue, so Yunyan did not hide everything like before, but picked up some irrelevant things and told Lin Aoxue, let him In the future, when Lin Aoxue handled the relationship between Beichenhe and Beichenling, she would be able to do more with ease and not be led by the nose.

Bei Chenhe and Bei Chenling's father and daughter were peaceful and harmonious on the surface, but behind their backs there was a fight. Lin Aoxue had this kind of awareness in his heart, so he naturally wanted to pick up what Bei Chenhe liked.

Lin Aoxue took the initiative to talk about the spring hunt, Bei Chenhe showed a guilty look on his face, shook his head helplessly and sighed:

"The third prince was originally entrusted with an important task, and His Majesty placed high hopes on him. Unexpectedly, the world is unpredictable. Now that the third prince's right leg has been broken, His Majesty is uncomfortable and inevitably provoked. This is what implicates you. Persuade me, this king spent some time, and when his anger subsided, I was able to say a few words for you, don’t take it to heart.”

Bei Chenhe pretended to be so heartbroken and felt sorry for the third prince, Lin Aoxue only sneered when he saw this, this Beichenhe is really good at acting, obviously it was his own plan, how could he be so faceless Pushing cleanly without skin, pretending that everything was an accident, that he didn't know anything.

However, there are additional meanings in his words. She was imprisoned because of the emperor's selfishness. The emperor did not care about his subordinates, but instead lost his temper and blamed the meritorious people. On the other hand, Bei Chenhe, the prince of his clan, was very interested in her, and he was always waiting for the opportunity to speak for her, and he was the one worthy of allegiance.

No matter how Lin Aoxue despised Bei Chenhe's scheming in her heart, she wouldn't seek a dead end to break Bei Chenhe. If Beichenhe wanted to play, she could only accompany him.

After Bei Chenhe finished saying this, Lin Aoxue showed a sad expression, made a look of forbearance, shook his head and said:

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I understand that at that time, it was indeed that I was not able to protect the Lord. Your Majesty was very generous even before I asked for my head. Your Majesty is kind-hearted, and I am grateful to you."

Lin Aoxue is very aware of current affairs. In the past few days, her state of mind has become more and more calm. Even if she faces Bei Chenhe, she can well hide her true emotions, and lock those hatred, pain, anger, and all negative feelings into the dark room. In the box, buried in the bottom of my heart, so that no one can see it, let alone Beichen Hesheng's suspicion.

Bei Chenhe looked regretful and very guilty:

"Hey, if this king hadn't invited you to participate in the spring hunt, I wouldn't have made you implicated in this matter. If you suffer from this innocent disaster, this king really hurt you!"

Lin Aoxue lowered her eyes, and there was a cold light deep in her eyes. Of course she knew that Beichenhe had harmed her, but she also understood that Beichenhe avoided serious words, and it was far from the time to fall out with Beichenhe. She finally had a hard time. It was only after this level that he gained Bei Chenhe's trust more and more deeply, and he couldn't give up halfway.

"Your Highness is serious, and your status is low. If there is no promotion from Your Highness, where would you have such an opportunity to participate in palace activities? It is really unpredictable. Your Highness did not know beforehand that such an accident would happen, please Your Highness not to blame yourself for it. only……"

Hearing that Lin Aoxue took the initiative to pick Beichenhe clean, with a grateful expression, Beichenhe breathed a sigh of relief, but then stopped when she was half-sentenced. Beichenhe was a little surprised and asked:

"how?"

Lin Aoxue let out a long sigh, with a look of loneliness and frustration on her face, and continued:

"It's just, now that I have offended the Holy One, I am afraid that the future will be blocked in the future, and it will be difficult to achieve great things."

Lin Aoxue lost the arrogance of the previous period, showing a different kind of tameness, which was exactly what Bei Chenhe wanted to see.

Bei Chenhe was quite satisfied with his work. When Lin Aoxue said these words, Bei Chenhe smiled slightly and nodded to comfort her:

"You don't have to worry that Your Majesty will be concerned about it. Your Majesty admires people who are down-to-earth and pragmatic. If you work hard, this King will definitely support you a lot, so that Your Majesty will change your opinion on you."

When Lin Aoxue heard the words, her expression was quite excited and excited. She ignored Bei Chenhe's false help, and hurriedly knelt down on the spot, bowed her head, and said respectfully:

"Lin Aoxue thank you for your kindness, I will never forget it."

Great kindness will not be forgotten, great hatred will not be forgotten.

Bei Chenhe smiled kindly, leaned over and helped Lin Aoxue up again, then changed the topic and said:

"Aoxue, in fact, this king asked you to come here today because there is one thing I want to ask you to do."

He even changed the name of Lin Aoxue, and his attitude changed suddenly, completely different from when he never regarded Lin Aoxue as a confidant. Lin Aoxue felt a little more relaxed. Since she returned to the capital, she has been taking a step-by-step approach, being cautious, and now she has finally reached this point.

She gained Bei Chenhe's trust, and this was just the first step in her revenge.

"I don't know what the lord is talking about?"

Lin Aoxue quickly put away the excitement on his face and made an appearance of listening carefully to the teachings. Bei Chenhe was very satisfied with Lin Aoxue's attitude, so he planned to tell her the real thing today. Slowly speak:

"You know this person, there are always many unavoidable things. Although this king has some status in the court, His Majesty is concerned about the status of this king's royal family, and does not give this king real power. This king knows and understands very well. However, there are always some people who don't take this king's generosity in their eyes, and want to frame this king behind their backs and instigate the brotherhood between this king and His Majesty."

When Lin Aoxue heard this, her brows furrowed, and her face showed a look of shock, which immediately turned into anger, as if she couldn't control the anger in her heart, she involuntarily raised her voice:

"It really makes no sense!"

Bei Chenhe's face was heavy, he waved his hand sadly, and sighed:

"Aoxue, what you don't know is that there is a salt official in Fudu called Wang Dongfu. He used his power for personal gain. He sold the official salt produced in Fudu in private, and was discovered by the people in the court and secretly included a copy."

Lin Aoxue was shocked:

"Is there such a thing?! But what does Wang Dongfu's private sale of official salt have to do with the prince?"

Bei Chenhe motioned to Lin Aoxue to stay calm and waited quietly for him to finish speaking. Lin Aoxue patiently continued to listen to Bei Chenhe:

"Originally, none of these things had anything to do with this king, but the person who participated in this book, for some reason, actually stated in the memorial that this Wang Dongfu bribed this king with the money from the private sale of official salt in order to seek this king. Cover up the news for him, and make money, hmph, this man is very thoughtful!"

After Bei Chenhe finished speaking, Lin Aoxue pretended to be frightened and asked:

"This is baseless, does Your Majesty believe it?"

Bei Chenhe sneered:

"Your Majesty is so wise, how can you believe in such childish tricks, but there are many ministers in the court who advocate a thorough investigation of this matter. Although this king is not afraid of shadows, he can't stand others' framing, in case they are asked to fabricate some evidence. , won't let this king's reputation be ruined."

Lin Aoxue thought about it and nodded in agreement:

"This person is really mortifying! I wonder if the lord has any countermeasures?"

Bei Chenhe was waiting for Lin Aoxue to ask these words, the corner of his lips twitched, his eyes flashed a little coldness, and he said to Lin Aoxue:

"This is the reason why this king is looking for you today, Aoxue, this king wants you to go to Fudu. Before His Majesty sends the imperial ministers to Fudu, I will investigate for this king and investigate those people. Evidence that may have been fabricated will be destroyed in advance."

Lin Aoxue was extremely transparent. According to Bei Chenhe's description of the matter, she was able to guess the truth.

It must be true that the salt official in Fudu sold official salt privately, and he secretly bribed Bei Chenhe. There is also real evidence. Bei Chenhe said it in a high-sounding manner, as if others deliberately framed him. The evidence that might corroborate him was cleaned up.

And because Beichenhe was suspected by the emperor, Beichenhe couldn't send people from the Prince Zong's mansion to do this. Once he was caught, the Prince's mansion would suffer. Therefore, Bei Chenhe could only send people who had nothing to do with the clan prince's mansion. Among these people, Lin Aoxue was the first choice.

He said that he seemed to have suffered an unjust injustice, in order to arouse Lin Aoxue's sympathy and let Lin Aoxue do things for him eagerly. This was his last test for Lin Aoxue.

If Lin Aoxue went to Fudu according to her words, it would be considered as secretly obstructing the imperial commissioner's investigation. He had obtained Lin Aoxue's handle and would be able to completely control her. But if Lin Aoxue refused to fall into the trap because he was afraid of being implicated, then Bei Chenhe could naturally send someone else, and he would not have to continue to test Lin Aoxue, and directly put her on the list of abandoned children.

Lin Aoxue clearly knew the powerful relationship of this matter, but she had to devote herself to it. Bei Chenhe wanted her to show enough sincerity, and Lin Aoxue also needed Bei Chenhe to give her more trust. This was an unequal transaction.

Even though Lin Aoxue knew this, she had to nod her head in agreement, because she had no other way to go.

"I will live up to the prince's entrustment."

The smile on Bei Chenhe's face was more sincere. There was a dim light in his eyes, which made it difficult to see his true thoughts. He stepped forward and patted Lin Aoxue's uninjured shoulder with a smile:

"Aoxue, I am really pleased to have you to share my worries for this king. During this period of time, you should use the excuse of recuperating, not to go out any more, and go to Fudu secretly."

Lin Aoxue sneered in her heart, Bei Chenhe even thought about the tricks for her, so she took advantage of the fact that the injury on her shoulder was not yet healed, and it was easy to get away, and let her do it.

She respectfully responded, and when she was about to leave the study, Bei Chenhe suddenly said to her:

"There is a Lianyun Village in Fudu. If you have any doubts about this matter, you can contact the people in the village by secret words to get information."

Lin Aoxue thanked Bei Chen for the congratulations, and carefully wrote down the secret words of the connection, and then she respectfully left the Prince Zong's residence.

After leaving the Prince Zong's mansion, Lin Aoxue went back to the inn and packed up her things. Taking into account the injuries on her body, she brought a lot of wound medicine and gauze.

Because it was a secret mission, Lin Aoxue didn't tell anyone where she was going. When it got dark, she took her luggage, secretly left the inn, disguised herself, changed her residence, and left the capital before the curfew.

Not long after Lin Aoxue left, a carriage slowly drove from the capital to the city gate. The guards guarding the city stopped the carriage. The curtain of the carriage door was lifted.

The carriage drove smoothly on the official road, and the direction it went was also Fudu.

Fudu is not far from the capital, on the west side of the capital, Lin Aoxue traveled all the way, but arrived in half a day. When she arrived in Fudu, the sky was still dark, and she found a reasonably clean place in the woods outside the city. After resting for a while, when the city gate opened in the morning, she packed her bag and walked quickly into the city gate.

After entering the city, Lin Aoxue vigilantly circled the city a few times, making sure that no one was following behind her, and then she fell into a hidden street again, changed her clothes again, and changed her face.

When she left the capital, she bought a few masks in advance to wear on her body. She didn't know how to disguise herself. Wearing only half a mask was easy to attract people's attention. Anyway, the task to be performed this time did not need to show her face. Simply take the whole mask to cover your face, so that it is easy to hide your identity.

In addition, Lin Aoxue put on another mink robe and a bamboo hat on her head, mixed in with the crowd and walked through the city to Lianyunzhuang, which is located in the northeast of Fudu.

Lianyunzhuang is a restaurant, Lin Aoxue walked in, and the second child greeted him enthusiastically, leading Lin Aoxue to find a place to sit down at will, but when the second child asked, "What would you like to order?", Lin Aoxue calmly asked. Opening:

"Half a catty of beef is shredded into three-quarters and seven-point slices, and if you have another jar of Liyun drunk, it must be a good aged wine!"

The shop assistant's pupils shrank, and then he smiled cheerfully, and sang aloud:

"Wait a moment, the guest officer, come here!"

Lin Aoxue waited for a while, and Xiao Er delivered the dishes she ordered according to her words. After Lin Aoxue carefully checked the non-toxicity, she waited for someone while eating. , Could it be that she secretly said something wrong just now?

She blinked suspiciously, Bei Chenhe only told her about Lianyunzhuang ordering food like this, and someone will come to meet her, but what is the situation now?

Almost everything she ordered was eaten, but the wine remained untouched.

Lin Aoxue had been sitting in the inn too much, so after the food on the plate bottomed out, she reluctantly paid the money and got up and left the inn.

As she walked, she thought to herself whether she was negligent.

About a hundred steps from the restaurant lobby to the door, Lin Aoxue was not walking fast. As soon as she left the restaurant, a carriage came from outside the village and stopped steadily in front of the village gate. No one came down either.

Lin Aoxue kept observing the movements around her. The carriage looked extremely strange. She paid more attention to it, but as it approached, she quickly retracted her gaze and continued to walk forward casually.

Just when she was about to miss the carriage, the person inside opened the door curtain and smiled at Lin Aoxue.

Lin Aoxue stopped in her footsteps, she felt as if a thunderstorm exploded in her mind, making her stunned in place, looking at the person in the carriage in disbelief, her eyes revealing the shock that could not be concealed.

Fortunately, her eyes were hidden under the hat, otherwise people would see clues.

The person in the car beckoned to her. She wanted to pretend to turn a blind eye, but when she turned her head to leave, she saw the person in the car shake out something from the cuff, which was a white jade plaque with no words.

She also has a piece of this jade card, which Bei Chenhe gave her last time when he captured the thief who broke into the palace at night for Bei Chenhe.

Lin Aoxue's pupils shrank, she felt that her breathing was about to stop, and a burst of blood rushed to her forehead. She clenched her fists hard to calm herself down, and then swallowed a mouthful of saliva, suppressing her shocked emotions. Hearing his rumbling heartbeat, he strode forward with difficulty and walked towards the carriage.

Every step she took felt extra heavy.

She stepped into the carriage and sat down on the side. The carriage moved immediately, the ruts rumbled, and she left Lianyunzhuang.

Even when she was sitting in the car, Lin Aoxue still found it difficult to calm down. The shock in her eyes hadn't subsided. She deliberately turned her eyes away and didn't look at the person sitting beside her, so as not to be noticed by that person.

"Master Wang is on an errand today. If you want to look for him, you can wait for him on the way back after sunset."

The woman beside her had a calm tone, a calm expression, a two-pointed smile on the corners of her lips, and a slight alienation in her politeness. , even though it was someone Lin Aoxue was familiar with, it was someone she had never seen before.

Lin Aoxue felt an inexplicable chill in her heart, which wrapped her heart bit by bit, and then jumped up her back until she felt chills all over her body.

Her hands on her knees trembled involuntarily, resisting the urge to clench her fists, keeping herself rational and focusing on the current affairs first.

The carriage drove for about half an hour and stopped outside an old house.

"You hide here first, wait until the evening, and then come back here, I will come to pick you up and leave Fudu."

Lin Aoxue got off the carriage, and heard the woman beside her calmly finish speaking in a familiar voice and an unfamiliar tone, and then lightly lowered the carriage door curtain.

Lin Aoxue heard the sound of the carriage starting behind him and speeding away into the distance.

She walked into the old house with trembling legs. The house was clean and people came to clean it from time to time, but there was no one around. Lin Aoxue entered a room at random and stood there for a long time, stunned. , I don't know what to think.

Her shoulders drooped down, her back hunched a lot, and she looked very haggard.

"Why is that?"

Lin Aoxue muttered to herself with red eyes.

Why is the person in the car Yunyan?

Although Yun Yan had already put on makeup and had a veil on her face, Lin Aoxue was so familiar with her that she recognized her eyes at a glance.

Even though the carriage had gone away and nearly an hour had passed since this shocking reunion, she still failed to adjust her mentality, and she still failed to adapt herself to this sudden and huge blow.

The words Yun Yan said when she was comforting her in her ears were still in her ears, and she thought that their positions would be opposite in the near future. But she never expected that this day would come so quickly.

Yunyan said that she was Beichenhe's chess piece. Since Beichenling had a rift with Beichenhe, why was she on Beichenhe's carriage, as Beichenhe's informant, who came to meet her to complete this mission.

There were many voices roaring in Lin Aoxue's heart, making her wonder which one she should believe.

Yun Yan's identity, in her heart, once again became an unsolved mystery.

She really wanted to believe in Yunyan, but it was really hard to believe.

She didn't know how to open her heart in the face of such clouds, she could only curl up cautiously, lest her impulsive emotions would lead her into the abyss of doom.

Lin Aoxue clenched her heart tightly. She felt as if a cool breeze was pouring into her chest from all directions. As soon as she exerted force, the wound on her shoulder hurt. Empty, suffocating disappointment.

She hated being so suspicious of herself, and hated the unpredictable future and the unpredictable relationship between people. She took a few deep breaths and tried her best to regain her consciousness and keep herself calm.

Lin Aoxue stayed in the old house until sunset, and when the last rays of sunlight dissipated, darkness fell, and the gray sky not only enveloped the entire Beichen, but also enveloped Lin Aoxue's heart. Little by little the gathered light went out.

The night wind was blowing, and it was chilling to the bone.

Lin Aoxue left the house and stayed on Wang Dongfu's way home according to her words. She was waiting at the corner of the street. When there were fewer and fewer people on the street, lanterns were hung at the entrance of the shop, and a person strolled over not far away. .

Wang Dongfu drank wine and was very drunk.

He heard that the imperial envoy was coming to Fudu in two days to investigate the private sale of official salt. The matter was a certainty and there was no possibility of changing it. He knew that his death was imminent, so he had made all preparations.

Someone is going to use his family's life to buy the evidence of his private relationship with the prince. He can't struggle, can't resist, he can only resign himself to fate, and when he comes back from an errand today, he went to the restaurant, ordered the best wine, and drank it. After a while, maybe when I get drunk, I can forget the pain, forget the fear, and die more calmly.

When passing the street, he staggered under his feet, fell to the ground with a thud, and his eyes instantly turned red.

He regretted it extremely, for his own selfish desires, and for what he had done over the years. If he hadn't been complacent, how could he have caused such calamities today.

As soon as he fell down, a pair of unfamiliar shoes appeared in front of him. He felt that he was being grabbed by the collar and lifted up. The scene changed before his eyes. He had been taken into the box next to him, and the one that appeared in front of him was a The stranger wearing a hat was grabbed by the neck, and the mask hidden under the shadow of the hat looked like a ghost, making Wang Dongfu's face turn pale with fright.

At this moment, he even thought that he had done too many bad things, so an evil spirit came to claim his life.

"Where is the ledger for the private sale of official salt?"

Lin Aoxue held Wang Dongfu's collar, put his hand on his throat, and asked straight to the point.

When Wang Dongfu heard this, although he was scared, his consciousness became clearer. He opened his eyes wide, trying to see Lin Aoxue's appearance, but the mask blocked his sight and completely concealed Lin Aoxue's appearance.

"Are you an imperial envoy?"

His eyes widened, and instead of answering Lin Aoxue's words, he asked.

Lin Aoxue looked at him indifferently and asked again:

"Where is the ledger?"

Seeing that Lin Aoxue didn't reveal his identity and only kept asking about the whereabouts of the ledger, the fearful expression on Wang Dongfu's face dissipated a little, he laughed twice, shook his head and said:

"You can kill me. Since you are not an imperial envoy and don't have the emperor's sword of Shang Fang, I won't tell you."

He had expected that on this day, the lord would definitely send someone to kill him, but the evidence had already been hidden by him. Even if he died, as long as the imperial commission came to Fudu, he would be able to obtain the evidence. , it is possible to keep it.

Lin Aoxue didn't expect Wang Dongfu to say such a thing, her face became solemn. It seemed that this operation was much more difficult than she expected. If Wang Dongfu refused to cooperate, then she would change if she wanted to find the evidence in his hands. extremely difficult.

Wang Dongfu was not even afraid of death. What was the reason why he refused to hand over the ledger and had to wait until the imperial commissioner came to investigate?

Lin Aoxue pondered this question over and over in her heart. She put herself in Wang Dongfu's point of view to consider this question, and came up with two conjectures. First, he knew that Bei Chenhe had decided to give up his chess piece, so he gave up on himself and took revenge by killing himself. Beichen congratulations.

Second, there might be some other reason why he had to keep the ledger and give it to the imperial commissioner.

For a person his age, the thing he cares most about is his own life, and it should be the life of the young and old. Lin Aoxue felt as if she understood something. She saw Wang Dongfu drinking in a daze, but it was actually difficult for her to stay awake.

There was a look of pity in Lin Aoxue's eyes, but she still said with a cold face:

"If you don't tell me the whereabouts of the ledger, then I will go to your house to kill you now!"

This threat obviously played a very effective role. Wang Dongfu's face turned pale for a moment, but the next moment he laughed with red eyes again. Son, mad, as if mad:

"Hahaha... You can't kill, my wife and my son have been taken away long ago, as long as I die, as long as the account book is in the hands of the imperial envoy, they will release my wife and son, I beg you, kill I……"

Tears flowed down, Wang Dongfu laughed wildly from the beginning, and then hysterically begged Lin Aoxue to kill him. Lin Aoxue's brows were furrowed by his appearance, and he was helpless for a while.

Although Wang Dongfu was right and wrong, she probably understood what happened. In order to ensure that the evidence of Wang Dongfu's collusion with the prince's mansion could be handed over to the imperial envoy, they deliberately seized it. Wang Dongfu's wife and son, Wang Dongfu must keep the secret, and take the initiative to hand over the evidence to the imperial envoy.

At that time, Wang Dongfu will surely die, but his wife and son will be saved.

It is for this reason that Wang Dongfu gave up his struggle and hid the evidence. Only his family knew the whereabouts of the evidence. In this way, even if Beichenhe sent someone to silence him, his wife and children could tell the whereabouts of the evidence. Tell the chaperone.

He is a selfish person. He actually doesn't want to die, but when he is certain to die, he finds in his conscience that he is willing to use his own death in exchange for the peace of his wife and children.

Lin Aoxue felt very melancholy in her heart. Under her indifferent gaze, there were hidden emotions of pity and sadness. She guessed who was targeting Bei Chenhe behind her back, and would she be the same person as Sui Ming?

At the moment, Wang Dongfu refused to take the initiative to hand over the evidence, and another person who knew the whereabouts of the ledger was arrested. Lin Aoxue was in a dilemma. Her face was a little ugly. If she could not find the ledger, her own efforts would be in vain. Once the ledger is found, it will once again undermine the outsider's plan against Bei Chenhe.

Lin Aoxue's heart was biased towards the secret plan against Bei Chenhe's forces, but she still managed to find the unfavorable ledger for Bei Chenhe. It's not that she doesn't want Bei Chenhe to be hurt, but this time, even if it hits the imperial envoy, it is far from being able to truly shake Bei Chenhe.

Beichen He is like a dormant beast, he has been waiting for the opportunity, as long as he makes a shot, he will be hit with a single blow.

Therefore, he seldom gave others a clue. In the court, even if there were more remarks against Bei Chenhe, there would always be more people standing on Bei Chenhe's side. It is impossible for the emperor to really treat Bei Chenhe. Once he easily commits the crime to a prince who has no military power, he will appear to be narrow-minded, so he will fall into the limelight and be ridiculed by the world.

Such a situation is something that the emperor does not want to see anyway.

Therefore, even if Wang Dongfu and Beichenhe do have private contacts, as long as the circumstances are not particularly serious and there is no power struggle in the capital, for Beichenhe, apart from the damage to his reputation, it will not bring any damage to his reputation. any substantial damage.

It is precisely because of these reasons that Bei Chenhe has no fear.

Lin Aoxue analyzed the root cause thoroughly, she stared at Wang Dongfu coldly, and sneered:

"You are so naive. Do you really think that if you hand over the ledger to the imperial envoy, you can save your family's life?"

Lin Aoxue's words undoubtedly stepped on Wang Dongfu's sore spot. Hearing this, he immediately jumped his feet and yelled furiously:

"Why not?! They promised me!"

Because of drinking, all his emotions were rapidly magnified at this moment. Fear, anxiety, anger and confusion, one after another impacted his mind, causing him to be in chaos and gradually lose his mind.

"Heh...why are you so excited? I'm afraid you know in your own heart that those who took your wife and children are somewhat credible. The lord has been covering you for so many years, and it's okay to be ungrateful. Now faced with such a thing, You didn't ask the lord for help immediately, but instead joined those outsiders to frame the lord, it's really disgusting!"

"No! I didn't!"

Wang Dongfu's mind was confused and his mind was not clear. He was confused by Lin Aoxue's words. He couldn't distinguish right from wrong. He just kept staring at the mask on Lin Aoxue's face.

"You still said no? If you are really loyal, why don't you take the initiative to destroy the evidence that may endanger the prince? With the power of the prince, is it possible that you can't protect your family? You are so stupid!"

The more Lin Aoxue said, the more flustered Wang Dongfu's mood became. By the last sentence, he couldn't bear it at all, he clung to Lin Aoxue's arm and burst into tears. He cried with tears all over his face, grabbed Lin Aoxue's cuff with all his strength, sobbing and sobbing beyond words.

The pity in Lin Aoxue's eyes gradually turned into indescribable sorrow, she sighed softly, and said:

"If you still have a little self-knowledge, you should tell me where the ledger is, and I will report the matter to the lord, saying that you have sincerely repented. The lord has a kind heart and will definitely find a way to save your family."

When Wang Dongfu heard what Lin Aoxue said, his whole person became excited. He opened his mouth and widened his eyes with a look of disbelief.

"Is your lord really going to help me?"

Although Lin Aoxue felt that he was pitiful, there must be something to hate about poor people. She mentioned Wang Dongfu's ungratefulness in her words just now, which was not biased. She glanced at Wang Dongfu indifferently and said:

"You and the lord have been in contact for many years. Has the lord ever arrested your wife and children to threaten you? Which side is more trustworthy, and do you not care about yourself?"

At the end, her tone has become very stern, and her face under the mask is distorted. Fortunately, with the help of the mask, Wang Dongfu can't see her expression behind the mask.

Every word she persuaded Wang Dongfu was comparable to Ling Chi to her.

In order to convince Wang Dongfu to obtain evidence against Bei Chenhe, she actually praised Bei Chenhe so much, which really surprised her.

Wang Dongfu burst into tears and knelt on the ground with a plop, full of remorse.

He crawled forward for two steps, hugged Lin Aoxue's trousers suddenly, and said emotionally:

"I hid things in a private house! In the third drawer to the left of the bookshelf in the study..."

Wang Dongfu had just finished speaking when suddenly a sharp arrow flew towards him with a swish from a distance. Lin Aoxue raised his hand to grab it, but took a step too slowly. The arrow brushed Lin Aoxue's five fingers, and she only caught the last tail feather, while the other one. The tip of the sharp arrow had already sunk into Wang Dongfu's vest.

Lin Aoxue grabbed Wang Dongfu abruptly, and when he checked it again, he was out of breath. The arrow sunk directly into his heart, and even if Daluo Jinxian descended to the world, he couldn't save him.

In response to this sudden change, Lin Aoxue's expression changed sharply. She gritted her teeth sharply, and threw Wang Dongfu's body to the dark place in the corner of the eaves. Before being discovered that there was a murder here, she quickly got away.

It's not that she doesn't want to take Wang Dongfu's body away, but because the secret that Wang Dongfu worked hard to hide has been exposed, and the black hand who secretly manipulated everything has also known the whereabouts of the evidence, so she must go to Wang Dongfu's private house immediately and compete with the other party. Speed, take a step slower, and the final outcome is a world of difference.

The evidence must finally fall into her hands.
