Beijing.

Wuzhuangguan backyard.

There were about twenty sacks placed in the huge backyard.

Xing Yue stood on the steps with a heavy expression.

He had seen cruel battlefields and villages where disease was rampant, but he had never seen so many ordinary people killed.

These are still children.

It can be seen from their skeletons that the oldest is only fifteen or sixteen years old.

Judging from the cause of death, in addition to some who died of abuse, some even died of drowning.

This shows that those children were not dead before they were put into sacks and sank into the river...it was not until they were put into the bottom of the water that they were drowned alive.

"Zi Yan, what are you going to do?"

Apart from Xing Yuan, the only person standing in the yard was Zi Yan who had rushed back.

Zi Yan was silent for a while. She thought about the evil of human nature, but she didn't expect that human nature could be so evil.

"The Feng family must pay the price for this." Zi Yan said slowly.

"Can it be done? We have no real evidence. As long as Feng Qingyan refuses to admit it, there is nothing we can do."

"Moreover, even if Feng Qingyan can't handle it anymore, he can throw out a few scapegoats and still get away with it, but we can't use other tricks." Xingyun sighed.

Dongling Academy has too much power in the court, and the Feng family is the mainstay. The two pillars of the Feng family, Feng Jiagui and Feng Yueheng, are both powerful Confucian scholars.

If they wanted to deal with the Feng family, they would definitely not be able to use outside tactics. If it weren't for the emperor's backing, they wouldn't even have the chance to fight.

"It'll be nice to get real evidence." Zi Yan raised the corners of her lips.

Why did she use such cumbersome methods? She didn't want to find a way to get the evidence.

The real evidence cannot be found in corpses. It must be something personal that is related to the Feng family.

"It doesn't matter what happens to you, just take care of your own affairs." Zi Yan said.

"I'm worried that the Feng family has noticed something." Xingyun frowned.

"Of course they have noticed something is wrong. Do you think a family like the Feng family is joking?" Zi Yan raised her eyebrows, "They have already sent out a private guard."

"Can you handle it? Do you want me to take action?" Xingyun said.

"Their private guards are well trained, but they can't compare with our secret guards." Zi Yan said confidently.

"That's true. I've seen their private guard, and it's indeed not strong enough. But you have to be careful. No matter how unlucky they are, they are well-trained. If you don't pay attention, the ship will capsize." Xingyun said calmly.

No matter what he said, he shared life and death with Zi Yan.

"It will be them who capsize the boat, not me." Zi Yan said, "You should dispose of these bones and put them in the cellar. They must be preserved and they will be used as evidence in the future."

"Don't worry, I will take care of it."

"Well, I'll leave this to you. I'm going out of the city to pick up people in a while. The guests from the grassland are both guests and helpers." Zi Yan said slowly.

"Go ahead."

…

"Two of you, have you already discussed it?" Feng Qingyan put his hands behind his back and looked coldly at the two men in front of him.

These two men were the two leaders of the Feng family's private army. Because one wore a white turban and the other wore a black turban on his head all year round, they got their nicknames, white turban and black turban.

.

"Master, I think there is indeed something fishy about this matter. Someone is causing trouble behind your back." The white turban frowned.

"Those two old women and their whole family have disappeared, probably hidden by others." The black turban also said.

"What I'm asking is what you have discussed what to do, not what has been said before." Feng Qingyan said with some dissatisfaction.

"It's very simple. We invite you to enter the urn. Since someone is watching us privately, we will set up a bait and let them come and bite." The white turban stretched out his palm and cut it horizontally in the air, with a smile on his face.

"Okay, you can arrange this matter. If it doesn't succeed in the end, then destroy all relevant information and leave no trace." Feng Qingyan came to the conclusion. He had left too much evidence in the past ten years, although

No one has ever discovered it, but I am still worried that there will be clues.

He has a cautious temperament. Even if there is a little trouble or doubt, he must deal with it in advance and cannot allow it to spread.

"Master, please rest assured."

"We can't let the master know. Don't say it until the last moment." Feng Qingyan emphasized again.

He hid this matter from his father, but he didn't think it was anything. In a family like his, he didn't go too far. Those aristocratic families in Jiangnan had more fun than his over-the-top young masters.

What's more, his father, the great scholar Feng Jiagui, also had his own way of playing, and he knew it very well.

"Young master, you don't have to worry. The master will not know about this." White Turban and Black Turban had already taken refuge with Feng Qingyan. Their nominal master was Feng Jiagui, but in fact they had joined Feng Qingyan.

But there's not much difference. Feng Jiagui and Feng Qingyan are both members of the same family, so they don't listen to whoever they listen to.

Anyway, they work with money. As long as the master's money is available, they will do the work.

After the black turban and the white turban left together, Feng Qingyan was the only one left in the room.

Feng Qingyan's face showed a gloomy look.

He had actually been aware of being exposed for a long time, but he didn't expect to be exposed in this form.

Who is the person behind it? He now has several related speculations.

The easiest ones to deal with are those families that have private conflicts with his family, and the hardest to deal with is...the Emperor Qi's family!

The current emperor Qi Xingyun is not easy to get along with. He wants to deal with the children of the aristocratic family, and it will take more than a day or two. If he wants to catch him, it will be troublesome.

No matter what, he will keep the trouble to a minimum.

Feng Qingyan walked to the wall and slapped his palm on the wall.

A sound of "Huh...".

A gap opened in the wall, and a secret room slowly appeared in front of you.

Feng Qingyan stepped into the secret room, glanced around, looked at the many calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, and the many books and other items on the desk. He raised his palm and took out a fire note.

"It's such a pity that I can't keep him!" Feng Qingyan sighed, with a look of regret on his face.

He couldn't keep the items he had collected for so long, but no matter how uncomfortable he felt, he couldn't act willfully.

With a movement of his palm, he polished the fire, and raised his hand to light the books in the secret room. After the rising flames gradually engulfed the secret room, he quickly ran outside.

After a while, a nearby maid noticed the flames and shouted in fright: "It's gone, it's gone!"
