The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 251: Steward Wang

Arrest the accomplice first to prevent the mastermind from murdering people to silence them and erase all traces.

As long as we get the accomplices in our hands, we guarantee they will tell us everything.

Ji Yun slammed the table again: "Okay! I'll go make arrangements and notify you in advance when everything is ready."

Ji Yunzhong didn't even drink a sip of tea and left in a hurry.

Before leaving, Yun Zhonghe told Jian Yue: "Remember to keep your statement and give your fingerprints."

A leaf fell from the tree in the yard. Autumn is on its way.

Xie Mingzhi and his son were whipped, their backs and buttocks were bloody. After the doctor treated him, Xie Mingzhi developed a high fever that night. Yan Ruolan quickly sent someone out of the house to ask for a doctor.

The delicate incense burner was filled with fragrance. Yan Ruolan was restless and walked around the room. After a while, she couldn't help yawning, her eyelids felt heavy, and she felt sleepy.

The two maids standing at the door were so sleepy that they were staggering. They tried hard to stay awake, but their eyes could hardly open.

About half an hour later, Butler Wang came with the doctor and the medicine boy.

"Butler Wang." A maid called out in a low voice.

Steward Wang waved his hand and whispered, "Go and guard outside the door. Don't disturb the doctor from treating the master."

"Yes."

The two maids were so sleepy that their minds were no longer clear. They didn't even notice that the doctor had been replaced. They walked out of the room with a heavy head and wanted to stand against the pillar for a while, but they slipped and fell asleep on the ground.

Steward Wang secretly wiped the sweat off his head and said in a weak voice, "Doctor Yang, please."

The doctor who came to treat Xie Mingzhi and his son during the day was Doctor Yang from Gui'antang.

"Doctor Yang" and the medicine boy quickly entered the room, while housekeeper Wang stood at the door to keep watch. He was trembling in his heart, secretly praying to God to help him.

Please don't let anything happen to him! Otherwise, he will die early.

If he hadn't been fed poison by the other party that time and was controlled by others, he would never dare to betray his master even if he was beaten to death. Now he is forced to do so. Sigh... Just live one day at a time!

Butler Wang stood with his back to the light, trembling with fear and looking decadent and depressed.

In the room, Jian Yue, dressed as a medicine boy, took out a porcelain bottle and shook it under the nose of the sleeping Yan Ruolan to ensure that she would not wake up halfway. Then he took out a pill, dissolved it in tea, and gave it to Xie Mingzhi to drink.

A moment later, Fu Wu, dressed as a doctor, was writing furiously on the table.

After an unknown amount of time, Wang's clothes were soaked with cold sweat. A gust of night wind blew by, and he suddenly shuddered.

Jian Yue and Fu Wu came out and nodded to him. Jian Yue whispered, "They won't remember what happened tonight. Just pretend nothing happened and don't show any abnormality. Then you won't be in danger."

Butler Wang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I will remember it." But in his heart he was saying: Ouch! God, please leave quickly! If you don't leave now, I will lose my life.

Butler Wang considerately closed the door and personally escorted the two out.

It was a dark night and no one could see the faces of "Doctor Yang" and the medicine boy.

After walking a distance from Xie's house, Ji Yunzhong walked out from the shadows with Fu Lang, Fu Liu and Fu Yun.

"Everything is going well." Jian Yue said without stopping.

Several people used their Qinggong skills to return to the Princess's Mansion through the back door.

In the Princess's Mansion, Doctor Mao was sitting in the side hall waiting. Knowing that Jian Yue was going out tonight, he was worried, so he drank tea and waited in the side hall.

Hearing the footsteps, Doctor Mao immediately stood up and looked towards the door.

Jian Yue didn't bother to take off her disguise. With red eyes, she took out two pieces of paper and showed them to Ji Yunzhong and Doctor Mao.

Although she was not the original owner, she couldn't help but feel incredibly angry when she learned that the original owner's uncle and his family were murdered for money.

After reading Xie Mingzhi's confession, the two men looked unhappy.

Who would have thought that the seemingly righteous Xie Mingzhi, in order to help General Rong embezzle Yan's wealth, actually asked the underworld boss Jin Batian of Qiongzhou to secretly imprison Yan Jingyu's family, and after transferring all the property, brutally killed the entire family.

Xie Mingzhi served in Qiongzhou for nine years. He distributed the Yan family's wealth properly and erased all traces of it. Only then was he recommended by the Minister of Revenue and General Rong to be transferred to the position of Vice Minister of Revenue.

His second brother Xie Mingjian took over his position as the lord of Qiongzhou Prefecture. After Xie Mingjian took office, Xie Mingzhi asked Xie Chujiao to give him ten shops and two farms from Yan Zhenzhen's dowry in order to let his second brother help him monitor Jin Batian and suppress the Yan clan.

In comparison, Xie Mingjian was the one who benefited the least from the Yan incident.

Ji Yunzhong looked at the long list of suspects on the second piece of paper, frowned and said to Jian Yue: "I will immediately notify the crown prince and send someone to secretly arrest Jin Batian and the relevant personnel and bring them to Beijing."

Jian Yue nodded: "The sooner the better. Tomorrow I will take these confessions with the prince to see the emperor."

That night, Jian Yue tossed and turned and couldn't sleep all night.

The prince met with Ji Yunzhong in the middle of the night. After reading Ji Yunzhong's confession and the list, he immediately deployed personnel and secretly sent them to Qiongzhou to arrest the person.

To ensure that nothing could go wrong, Ji Yunzhong also mobilized a group of secret guards who were secretly trained in Yanling Mansion.

In the side hall next to the prince's bedroom, candles were lit all night.

At Xie's house, housekeeper Wang was so worried that he didn't dare to sleep all night. As soon as he closed his eyes, he dreamed that Xie Mingzhi was holding a big knife and killing him.

Butler Wang endured the most difficult night, and before dawn the next day he went to hang around the main courtyard gate with dark circles under his eyes.

The two maids who had been sleeping last night had already woken up. They were terrified. They were lazy and slept during their shift. If the lady knew about it, they would lose half their lives.

The two of them quietly looked into the door.

The bedroom was quiet, without any sound. The master and his wife should be asleep, and they didn't notice them slacking off. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and tacitly agreed to keep their mouths shut.

"Butler Wang." The two maids were startled by the dark circles under Butler Wang's eyes.

Steward Wang said, "I'm worried about the master's injury, so I came to check on him."

A maid said, "The master and his wife haven't woken up yet."

"Then wait a minute." Butler Wang stood in the yard with his sleeves rolled up patiently.

The two maids were suspicious: When did Butler Wang become so easy to talk to?

However, the two did not dare to ask.

After waiting for another half an hour, Yan Ruolan called for help. Two maids hurried in, one went in and the other went to fetch toiletries.

Butler Wang waited for a while. He looked calm but was nervous. He went into the house to greet them. Seeing that Xie Mingzhi and his wife didn't seem to remember what happened last night, he finally put his mind at ease.

At 9:00 p.m. the next day, Jian Yue met the prince at the palace gate in a carriage and entered the palace together.

As soon as Emperor Jingzhen arrived at the Yangxin Palace after court, Eunuch Fu came over to report that the Crown Prince and Princess Mingyue wanted to see him.

Emperor Jingzhen was a little surprised that the Crown Prince came to see him with Princess Mingyue. Then he nodded and agreed.

Jian Yue followed the prince out of the side hall and followed Eunuch Fu into the Yangxin Palace.

"My son, I pay my respects to my father."

"Your Majesty, may your Majesty be blessed."

They both bowed deeply.

Emperor Jingzhen waved his hand and asked the two to...
