Jiang Zhizhou's voice was very calm. "She was already dead when a few of us arrived. Not only that, if we had been a step slower, I'm afraid you would have to sleep underground forever."

Although Murong Qian had previously guessed that those people would not be soft-hearted towards her and Xiao Cui, she did not expect that they would be so cruel.

If Jiang Zhizhou hadn't arrived in time, she would have been suffocated to death in the dirt.

"You haven't told me yet, how did you get to that place?"

Murong Qian is just a boudoir lady, how did she get involved with those people?

When he thought of that possibility, Jiang Zhizhou's eyes filled with coldness.

Yang Qing has repeatedly told Murong Qian not to participate in their plan, but now, what is going on?

"I, I just want to help Brother Qing."

Murong Qian said, and told Jiang Zhizhou that he had accidentally bumped into Fu Bonian before Guesthouse was not living there and then found Matchmaker Zhai.

Jiang Zhizhou listened without saying a word. Finally, he said, "Because of this, you took Xiao Cui with you to the wild?"

"Yes, it is precisely because of this that I thought that this Fu Bonian must have some hidden secret. If I find out, I might be able to help Brother Qing secretly."

When Murong Qian looked at Jiang Zhizhou's serious face, he knew that this time, he had done something bad with good intentions.

"Fu Bonian has been able to serve as Minister of the Court of Judicial Review for so many years and is deeply trusted by the emperor. He must be outstanding."

Jiang Zhizhou's voice is very deep, but he is not too harsh on Murong Qian.

Moreover, although Murong Qian is considered a legendary woman here, Yan Prefecture is looking for an old fox who is almost a spirit. How can she be his opponent?

Seeing the sad look on Murong Qian's face, Jiang Zhizhou could only comfort her, "In the future, you must not act rashly. Besides, we have other plans for Fu Bonian's people."

"So, you have known for a long time that there is something wrong with Master Fu?"

Listening to Jiang Zhizhou's words, Murong Qian immediately raised his head.

"Yes, but it is not easy to catch his mistakes."

Jiang Zhizhou sighed in his heart, but when facing Murong Qian, his face remained gentle. "These days, you just have a good rest in the house, and you must not have any other thoughts."

Afraid that Murong Qian would not allow it, he added, "Xiao Cui has already paid a heavy price for this matter, so you don't want to put yourself in danger again?"

Hearing Jiang Zhizhou mention Xiao Cui again, Murong Qian felt a little sad. "I know, and I will never act recklessly in the future."

Seeing that Murong Qian had already listened to his persuasion, Jiang Zhizhou pointed to the dishes near the window and said, "Come, let's have a meal together."

Yan Prefecture A small courtyard Wuming

Fu Bonian After listening to the reports of his subordinates, his brows furrowed tightly.

When he heard that the two people were finally cleared away, his frown relaxed a little, but there was still no trace of joy on his face.

He looked back at the small courtyard behind him and said to his men, "Find another place to live and eliminate all traces here."

"Yes, sir!"

Fu Bonian strode out of this small courtyard, got into a carriage with an extremely ordinary exterior, and drove away.

After a while, the small courtyard began to smoke.

I don't know if it was because of the gust of wind, but the fire started extremely quickly. In the blink of an eye, the flames had already surrounded the entire courtyard.

And those Fu Bonian's men didn't leave until they saw that the house was almost burned to ashes Ruins.

The other group of people, on the other hand, were hiding in the dark from beginning to end, watching everything in front of them, calmly.

It wasn't until everyone left that they walked out of the hiding place and hurried away in the other direction.

Bu Er, told Yang Qing everything that happened outside these days in detail.

"Now that we've alerted the public, let's make the noise bigger."

Something else flashed in Yang Qing's eyes. "Just wait with peace of mind for the time being. I can't think of a few days when news will come from Capital City."

Bu Er was a little surprised when he heard what Yang Qing said, but he quickly figured it out.

Murong Qian Although Murong Qian hit the target this time, they frightened the snake Fu Bonian and made their previous plan fall short. However, their original goal was not here.

It's just that Mr. Fu is a little anxious.

"It's just that as a result, Master Fu will probably be more difficult to deal with."

Fu Bonian came to Yan Prefecture, originally for the case of Envoy.

Yang Qing shook his head. "No, he has already obtained the confession, and he probably wants to present it to the emperor as soon as possible."

"Go ahead and let Master Fu walk more smoothly."

"Yes!"

After Bu Er left, the prison door was opened again.

And Yang Qing saw that Master Fu appeared in front of him again.

It's just that at this moment, although he doesn't show it on his face, there is a bit more urgency in his eyebrows.

However, Yang Qing was well aware of his changes but did not reveal it.

"Yang Chengming!"

Fu Bonian had been standing in front of the cell door, looking at Yang Qing, and suddenly spoke.

He wanted to know whether the incident in the small courtyard was related to the person in front of him?

Although he had only been in Yan Prefecture for a few days, he had always been wary of the person in front of him.

Now Yang Qing, although he is in prison, Fu Bonian still feels that this world cannot trap him.

On the contrary, it provided him with a more convenient place to operate.

However, although his thoughts did not appear on his face, they made Yang Qing guess a lot.

"Master Fu, what advice do you have?"

Yang Qing looked at Fu Bonian with a calm expression.

"If this matter is reported to the Emperor, I'm afraid it will cause quite a shock. Although the Prime Minister will put in good words for you, you have to be mentally prepared."

Yang Qing lowered his eyes and said, "The common people thank you for your kindness."

Fu Bonian nodded, turned and left.

Bu Er appeared from behind. "It seems that Master Fu is planning to return to Capital City."

Yang Qing's voice was very calm. "The most important thing has been obtained by him, and it is useless to stay any longer. It is better to go back as soon as possible."

Speaking of this, Yang Qing asked again, "Over there, are you ready?"

Bu Er's face now had a different look. "Don't worry, young master, we have already prepared it and are waiting for our Master Fu to go."

"That way you can rest assured."

Yang Qing After saying that, he turned his gaze outside the cell door.
