After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields Chapter 675

Chapter 675 Secret

After saying that, he grabbed the rice bowl from Liu Ji's hand, without even using the chopsticks, and frantically shoveled the food into his mouth.

Hardly chewing, just swallowing, until the gnawing and itching in the stomach was relieved, then he slowed down.

“Give him a bowl of soup.” Qin Yao quickly ordered because she was afraid that someone would choke and die in her own home.

Yin Le nodded to show his understanding, and took the person to the dining table aside, where good dishes, soup, and snacks were served.

Qin Yao and his wife returned to the main seat, with Qin Yao sitting and Liu Ji standing.

“Madam, what did he say?” Liu Ji asked curiously. Wu Sheng just spoke so fast that he didn't hear clearly.

Only vaguely heard about "abusing power for personal gain" and "seizing large amounts of land and houses from followers".

But His Highness the Crown Prince is already above ten thousand people and below one person. Do you still need to seize the land and houses of his retainers?

So, who is this person? Liu Ji was so anxious that if he couldn't find out the secret today, he would keep his eyes open until dawn.

Fortunately, the lady still loved him very much, and she waved for him to come over.

Qin Yao whispered something in Liu Ji's ear. Liu Ji's eyes widened and he almost exclaimed.

But he reacted in time, covered his mouth, and paced back and forth in the hall excitedly.

What's amazing, it's actually Prince Feng.

The secret that Wu Sheng heard was actually that Prince Feng used his power for personal gain and bought the land and houses belonging to the officials in the fiefdom at a very low price below the market price.

It is said that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, but in fact they are not willing at all, they are just forced by the power of King Feng.

The younger generation of the purchased official was dissatisfied and made some remarks in the street. As a result, the person was exiled and died on the road.

This matter was originally only in the fiefdom. With King Feng's method, as long as the blockade was blocked in time, it would not be spread at all.

but!

It just happened to come out!

The Imperial Preceptor suppressed the news and went to the palace with the news to discuss with the prince whether to suppress the impeachment news.

After all, Prince Feng openly supported the East Palace, and he was a sharp sword against the Princess Mansion.

Moreover, the princes of the Baili family have been dying and being demoted in recent years. Among the princes who uphold the legitimacy of the royal family, Prince Feng is the only one who can achieve success.

For the sake of the country's grand plan, the prince chose to suppress the news temporarily.

That day, the Princess of the East Palace was hosting a banquet at her residence, inviting ladies from various families in the capital to enjoy the peach blossoms and watch a play.

Wu Sheng passed by the back alley of the Prince's study after finishing the play, and happened to hear the Imperial Master and His Highness the Prince discussing the matter of Prince Feng's purchase of the land and houses of his subordinates' officials at a low price.

Then they were discovered, and all the black knights from the East Palace were dispatched. On the surface, they were assassins. In order to ensure the safety of the ladies from each house, they personally escorted the ladies back to their houses, but in fact they were conducting screenings.

In secret, all the attendants and maids who were active near the study at that time were taken into the dungeon and tortured.

It was soon discovered that one person in the troupe was missing. As a result, the entire troupe died in vain because of Wu Sheng's escape.

“Since you escaped, why did you come back?” Qin Yao asked confused.

Wu Sheng was busy cooking. He paused for a while before he realized what he was doing. He swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty and said hoarsely:

“The leader and others all died because of me. I have no relatives or friends in this world. I want to come back to expose this matter and die together with the prince's imperial master!”

He spoke harshly, but tears of regret fell on his face, "If I had known this, I should have been afraid of death and shouldered the blame alone, so I wouldn't have harmed the class leader and the others."

Liu Ji saw him crying with tears in his eyes and handed him a handkerchief, "Wipe your tears. Eat well before you go on the road."

Wu Sheng: “???”

That's right, they will send him to the Jingfu Yamen tomorrow. He just hopes that the Qingtian Grand Master Jingzhao Yinlu mentioned by the class leader is really the Qingtian Grand Master of the people. If not, they officials would protect each other, and he would not be able to escape death.

Liu Ji did not miss the flash of hope in Wu Sheng's eyes, and felt even more pitiful for this man in his heart.

Having known such a secret, he would die if he told it, or he would die if he didn't tell it.

etc!

Liu Ji suddenly thought of something, his eyes were frightened, and he had no time to tease Wu Sheng anymore. He quickly returned to Qin Yao and asked in a low voice:

"Madam, if Wu Sheng says that he has told the secret, you and I will have nothing to argue with! Won't the prince's black knights also arrest us and silence us?"

To put it bluntly, even if Wu Sheng refused to admit that he had told the secret, he would be most afraid of suspicion.

Once the seeds of doubt are sown and eradicated, wouldn't their family of eight—

“It's over!”

“It's over, it's over!”

Liu Ji fell down on the Grand Master's chair, touched the armrests of the chair, looked at the magnificent decoration in the hall, and then thought about his bright future, would all these have to leave him?

"Madam." Liu Ji came up again, staring at the crying Wu Sheng with vigilance, and said: "Let's hand him over to the national teacher and replace the teacher. What do you think?

Qin Yao was silent for a long time, also depressed by her reckless behavior of carrying the person into the house.

Sure enough, men on the roadside are not allowed to pick it up!

This time I picked up a big trouble.

For the current plan, the best solution is to kill the person and hide it, and pretend that tonight's incident never happened.

Not sure if he sensed murderous intent, Wu Sheng stopped crying and slowly turned his head to look at the couple.

“Madam, aren't you going to send me to Jingzhao Mansion Yamen?” Wu Sheng asked warily.

The couple did not reply, and the silence was suffocating.

Wu Sheng curled up the corner of his mouth and said with a scornful smile: "In this world where everyone protects themselves, only for themselves, watching unjust cases happen in front of their eyes but looking on with a cold eye, it seems that there is no justice at all!"

He picked up the soup bowl, drank the last sip of soup, wiped his mouth, and suddenly stood up, his posture upright.

Wu Sheng raised his neck high, as if he wanted to trample all the indifferent spectators under his feet.

He said: "I'm full, Madam, please do it."

A Wang immediately glanced at Qin Yao, and she said that he would not hesitate to take action.

After all, as the elder said, none of these people are righteous people, and the first thing to do is to be sensible and protect oneself when encountering difficulties.

Yin Le frowned deeply and walked quickly to Qin Yao, "Master? Do you really want it?"

She always firmly believed that Master was not the kind of person Wu Sheng described as someone who would stand by and be unjust when things happened.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be as reborn from the ashes as she is today!

Qin Yao met Yin Le's resolute gaze. There was still light in those eyes. She was different from them. Even if it was dark in the past, she still believed that there would be light in the world.

In Yin Le's eyes, her master is her light.

Yin Le's confidence in herself made Qin Yao feel a little less confident - she was really not as good as she thought.

“Do it!” Wu Sheng shouted.

Died early and was reborn early, what's the point of hanging people!

Qin Yao glared at Wu Sheng unhappily, "You'll be lucky if you meet me."

Yin Le was overjoyed and said, "Master!" She knew that she had not trusted anyone.

Qin Yao slapped Yin Le on the forehead, who was overjoyed, "You're laughing your **** off, go and tie him up and gag him."

"Okay!" Yin Le didn't ask why, he just did as the master said.
