The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 540: Cold wind blows and heavy rain is coming

Xiao Yi's expression suddenly changed.

Jiang Suining was right, he was careless!

Ever since Xiao Ling was put under house arrest, there has been no movement from Guangyun Tower, so he ignored Mei Qinniang and the subtle connection between Jiang Suining and Mei Qinniang.

Mei Qinnan has someone under her command who can be used, so it is not difficult for her to help Feng Yimin enter the city.

A flash of anger flashed through his heart, but it only lasted for a moment, and Xiao Yi returned to his normal expression, looking at Jiang Suining and the others coldly.

"Even if Feng Yimin is in the Ministry of Justice, what can he do? Even if Pei Zhaozhi brings him before the emperor, it is nothing but empty talk."

Shen Yanxi said: "Your Highness, you can rest assured. We have no intention of sending the person to the emperor right now. We are also aware that we cannot identify anything with just Feng Yimin. But, Your Highness, the truth will eventually be revealed."

Xiao Yi sneered, "How ridiculous! This prince never thought that Lord Shen would be so naive. There are so many things in this world that are wrongly accused. The so-called "heaven's net is vast and nothing can escape it" is nothing but the self-consolation and prayer of the incompetent."

Shen Yanxi's expression remained unchanged, "Then we'll wait and see."

"Well, wait and see. This prince wants to see what kind of trouble you can stir up under the current circumstances."

Xiao Yi sneered, withdrew his gaze, and walked away.

Lin Jie, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately stood up and followed, and glanced at Jiang Suining when he passed by her.

Jiang Suining looked back calmly, without any disturbance in his eyes.

After Xiao Yi walked past Jiang Suining and the others, the sneer on his face quickly disappeared, replaced by a cold look.

He glanced at the leader of the secret guards next to him, who immediately understood and quickened his pace, heading straight for the imperial city.

The figures of Xiao Yi and his group had disappeared. Cheng Du leaned against a tree, looking at Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi lazily.

"The Fourth Prince has already believed that Feng Yimin is dead. Why do you have to tell him? Although he pretends to be indifferent, he might be behind your back."

"The Ministry of Justice has his spies watching over it. The news that Feng Yimin was secretly sent to the Ministry of Justice cannot be concealed. There is not much difference between telling it now and waiting until he returns to the Imperial City to find out." Jiang Suining explained, and then she turned to Cheng Du and said, "Thank you for today."

Originally, they planned to let the guards pretend to be Feng Yimin, and then find someone who was proficient in disguise through the black market. However, they did not expect that after entering the black market again, Cheng Du learned of their purpose and immediately volunteered.

Only then did they realize that Cheng Du was good at imitating and changing the voice. Although they had never seen Feng Yimin, according to the description of the secret guards who had heard Feng Yimin speak, Cheng Du adjusted little by little, and finally imitated him about 70% of the way he had done.

Cheng Du shrugged his shoulders, his tone very cheerful, "No need to thank me, it's not like I won't take the money anyway, and you guys are so generous, I should be the one thanking you."

Shen Yanxi took out the silver note that he had prepared long ago from his sleeve and handed it to Cheng Du, "It's five thousand taels as agreed before."

Cheng Du's eyes lit up, and he immediately reached out to take it, "I like people like you who pay quickly."

After counting and confirming that everything was correct, Cheng Du put away the banknotes and said with a smile: "Is there anything else you need me to do? As long as the money is in place, I can do anything from acting in a play to guarding the house!"

"Aren't you going back to the black market?" Jiang Suining asked.

"I'm not going back for now." Cheng Du patted the banknotes on his chest. "It's much easier to make money following you than in the black market. And according to the rules of the black market, I can't leave without permission. Now that I'm out, it's not that easy to go back. What's more..."

Cheng Du paused for a moment and did not say the rest of the words immediately.

"What's more?" Shen Yanxi asked.

"What's more, when I left the black market, I promised Yan Wu that I would find a way to meet his brother Yan Qi. Since I was entrusted with a task and received money, I naturally have to be loyal to him."

Shen Yanxi thought of Yan Wu and said, "Although I promised Yan Wu to deliver a letter for his brother, Yan Qi refused to say anything, so in the end, he sent a blank piece of paper."

"Yan Wu said that it was because you sent him a blank piece of paper that he believed his brother was still alive. Based on his understanding of his brother, he would never pass on any news to him."

Cheng Du took a deep breath and the lazy smile returned to his face.

"Anyway, I don't plan to go back during this period of time. I will stay in the Imperial City. If you have any questions, just come to me. In consideration of our pleasant cooperation, I can give you a 20% discount."

Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi agreed without saying anything else, and they began to return to the imperial city.

On the way into the city, the sky gradually became gloomy and there were signs of rain.

When the carriage was about to enter the imperial city, a cold wind suddenly blew up, causing the curtains on the windows to flutter.

Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi looked toward the imperial city ahead through the car window.

It was gloomy on top of the imperial city.

The already thin sunlight in winter was completely blocked by clouds.

The cold wind is howling and heavy rain is coming.

On the other side, the Fourth Prince’s Mansion.

As soon as Xiao Yi entered the mansion, the secret guards who had entered the city to investigate sent back news.

"Your Highness, the people we sent to keep an eye on him said that someone was indeed quietly sent to the Ministry of Justice today. However, he did not go through the main entrance of the Ministry of Justice, but was quietly sent in through the side door. And it was indeed Mei Qiniang who sent the person there, and he is now inside the Ministry of Justice."

After reporting the news, the leader of the secret guards looked at Xiao Yi carefully.

"Your Highness, why don't we hurry up and get rid of Feng Yimin before the news spreads, so as to prevent future troubles!"

"The person has been taken to the prison of the Ministry of Justice, so it's not that easy to take action." Xiao Yi said coldly, "Chu Yisheng was killed, Pei Zhaozhi will definitely take extremely strict precautions this time. How do you want to take action under such circumstances?"

The poison in Xiao Ling's body could not last too long. Burning down the prison of the Ministry of Justice and killing Chu Yishen was not so much to silence him as to completely annoy his father, push the whole case forward, and completely push Xiao Ling to death, so that the case can be settled sooner.

But now that Xiao Ling, the scapegoat, is no longer in front of him, if he takes action at this time, he will be asking for trouble.

Feeling his master's unhappy gaze, the leader of the secret guards immediately knelt down.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I didn't think clearly at the moment."

Xiao Yi waved his hand, signaling the other party to stand up. "After all, Jiang Suining and the others don't have solid evidence. We still have the upper hand now, so we should not act rashly at this time. But... it seems that we can't let them live too peacefully, otherwise they will only hold on to this matter."

Xiao Yi shifted his gaze to Lin Jie who had been kneeling beside him.

"After all, you have been in the Jiang family for so long. Have you found any weakness or handle on Jiang Suining?"
