At the beginning of the whole thing, the last thing Chang Jiyang should do was to go to Xie Shixiu and tell him the whole thing, because Xie Shixiu would not easily believe him, Xie Shixiu was in the camp of King Ding from beginning to end, no matter what happened, he put the interests of King Ding first.

What's more, Xie Shixiu is so wary of himself and his eldest brother, how can he easily believe his and his eldest brother's words? Even if he felt that this matter was a little strange, he would not doubt King Ding because of this.

If Liu Xun went to tell Xie Shixiu about this matter, he was afraid that Xie Shixiu would inevitably believe it, and the eldest brother would say these words to Xie Shixiu, but he was afraid that he would not be able to get half of the benefits, but he would have a suspicion.

I'm afraid that now Xie Shixiu has told King Ding about this matter, so that the eldest brother will offend two people at the same time, whether it is in King Ding or Xie Shixiu, he will not be able to get half of the benefits, and may even be framed by the two of them.

Ji Yao couldn't help but be a little worried, saying that it was impossible for King Dingwang to let go of his eldest brother for the sake of doing so many things for King Ding's loyalty before his eldest brother.

Not to mention that now the eldest brother ran to Xie Shixiu to sue King Ding, and almost disrupted King Ding's plan, even if the eldest brother didn't do anything on weekdays, as long as it threatened King Ding's interests, King Ding would never let him go.

What loyal servant, what feeling, it is all ethereal.

"Tsk, alas, this matter is indeed what I did, it was too impulsive, but it has happened, and now there is no way to do it, so I have to take one step at a time, I just hope that the Xie family can survive the current catastrophe unharmed." Chang Jiyang's heart was also very chaotic, he didn't expect things to develop to such a point, he frowned and turned around and said, "I'm going to go out on duty in a while, let's not talk about these things for now, wait until I come back and listen to the wind outside......"

Chang Jiyang walked past Ji Yao as he spoke, but a faint and almost imperceptible fragrance passed under Ji Yao's nose, this fragrance was very familiar, but Ji Yao couldn't remember where he smelled it for a while.

"Where else did the eldest brother go?"

Chang Jiyang was about to walk out, and coldly heard Ji Yao's words behind him, because there was a ghost in his heart, he almost tripped over the threshold nervously.

He stabilized his emotions and turned to look at Ji Yao lightly: "I didn't go anywhere else, I went home directly after I came out of Tongxie's house......

"Oh?" Ji Yao's nose shrugged slightly, and he raised his steps and approached Chang Jiyang, "Then how can the eldest brother have the smell of rouge gouache that only his daughter's family has?" Could it be that Xie Shixiu is okay? ”

Chang Jiyang twitched the corners of his mouth, and looked at Ji Yao helplessly: "What are you talking nonsense?" How could it be the smell of Xie Shixiu? As far as your nose is smart, I didn't ask what the smell was, maybe it was passed on to me by the girl in the Xie family's mansion. Okay, let's not talk about it, don't dwell on these useless things, you can go with your business, I have to go. ”

"Good ......" After Ji Yao responded, he still stepped forward to ask Chang Jiyang about the smell on his body, Chang Jiyang was startled, turned around quickly with a somewhat uneasy expression, and walked out of the house.

Talking about what is the smell of fat powder passed on to him by the girl in the Xie family's mansion, although Ji Yao didn't remember where she smelled this smell for a while, she could tell the difference between ordinary rouge gouache and tribute rouge gouache.

Because the gap between this ordinary rouge gouache and the tribute rouge gouache is too big, it is simply a world of difference, how can it be that a little maid is qualified to use it?

This kind of rouge gouache has always been only used by people with prominent status, looking at the appearance of the eldest brother, I think it must be to see the sorrow, dyed with the fat powder smell on the body.

Ji Yao was really helpless at the moment, she tried everything she could, but she couldn't stop the eldest brother from reconciling and reconciling worries to continue to communicate, looking at the momentum of the development of eldest brother and reconciling worries, it wouldn't be long before the eldest brother would plant a big heel on the elixirs.

"Miss, I've got a letter."

Chang Xi waited for Chang Jiyang to leave, and then cautiously walked from not far away, twisting his head very carefully to look around as he spoke, for fear of being listened to.

Ji Yao took the letter handed over by Chang Xi, opened it, and saw a concise sentence written on it: The demise of the Xie family is a foregone conclusion, don't muddy the water.

"The Xie family is really going to perish, it seems that the prince is completely sure this time, I think King Ding has begun to prepare for a counterattack at this moment, it seems that there will be a bloody storm in Jinling soon, we have to prepare in time."

Ji Yao looked at the direction where Chang Jiyang left with some concern, very troubled in her heart, and only hoped that this change would not involve the Chang family.

It's just that things are developing much faster than Ji Yao imagined, two hours after she received this letter, Chang Jiyang has not returned from duty, and the Xie family has already had an accident.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department personally led people to seal up the Xie family and put everyone in the Xie family in prison, but the reason for the arrest was very ambiguous.

Although they were ordered to investigate the case of the Xie family's previous rebellion this time, they only said lightly to the outside world: "The Xie family has committed an unforgivable crime, and if anyone in the Manchu Dynasty argues for the Xie family, they will be treated as accomplices, and they should be punished for the same crime." ”

Xie Shixiu didn't expect things to develop so quickly, he was still thinking about how to delay time this morning, so that he could find some evidence to protect the Xie family, but he was caught off guard by the people of the Criminal Department.

He was even annoyed in his heart, he hadn't had time to tell King Ding about Chang Jiyang's coming to him today, so how could King Ding avoid Chang Jiyang's lies and rescue the Xie family?

Xie Shixiu faintly felt that the Xie family seemed to be really going to end......

"Little brother, come here."

Xie Jingxian was not as pessimistic as Xie Shixiu, his cloudy old eyes looked back and forth on the jailer not far away, he thought about it, the jailer in front of him was short, with a yellow face and thin muscles, thinking that he must have never eaten anything good on weekdays, and his life must be very poor, as long as he gave him enough money, he would definitely be able to help him get out of prison.

"What do you want to do, old immortal?" The jailer cursed and cursed, but he still walked this way, and before the jailer could react, the silver with a little temperature was suddenly stuffed into the palm of his hand.

The jailer tossed the weight of the silver, a smile flashed on the corner of his mouth, and his tone was much kinder: "I don't know what Lord Xie means?" ”
