These two things came together, and suddenly a thread connected them in Shen Jinyu's mind. Something was about to come out. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and an answer suddenly appeared. He suddenly grabbed Qi Yue's hand. He raised his hands and said anxiously: "Tang Yuanqing, Tang Yuanqing is the little prince of Dongta!"

"What?" Qi Yue was so shocked by Shen Jinyu's words that she almost jumped up. She gently touched Shen Jinyu's hand to calm him down a little, "Why did you get this answer?"

Shen Jinyu expressed his thoughts in a few words. Qi Yue was even more calm than Shen Jinyu after hearing this. She gritted her teeth and forced herself to lower her voice and said: "Then if Tang Yuanqing is really the little prince of Dongtao, then the entire Jin Dynasty will I don’t know how corrupted the Dongta people have become, so we have to go back quickly! The emperor is alone in the imperial city, and it won’t be that simple for the spies from the Skybreaking Army to cause trouble!"

Shen Jinyu nodded, and the group secretly speeded up their pace.

However, things were far worse than they imagined.

When their carriage entered the imperial city, Qi Yue in the carriage opened the curtain and looked out, only to see that the normally bustling streets were empty of people at this moment, not even a single vendor setting up a stall.

The beggars who usually huddled at the entrance of the alley begging for food and sleeping have now disappeared, and even the stray cats and dogs have disappeared.

The carriage drove back to Shen's Mansion. The door of Shen's Mansion was closed tightly, and there were not even any servants standing guard outside.

The entire Imperial City of Jin Dynasty revealed a strange character.

Yin Baiyi stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a long time, the door opened a small crack. Fu Sheng revealed a pair of alert eyes from behind the crack in the door. When he saw it was Yin Baiyi, he knew that Shen Jinyu was back. He opened the door and hurried out to stand. He whispered under the carriage: "Master Marquis, madam, come into the mansion quickly, something big has happened in the imperial city! Mr. Song Yao and Song are hiding in our mansion!"

Song Yao was hiding in the mansion? Why hiding? Shen Jinyu took Qi Yue's hand, got off the carriage and entered the mansion without saying a word.

After the door of Shen's Mansion was closed, Fu Sheng dared to speak in a normal voice, "Oh, Lord Marquis, you are finally back. We have all been on tenterhooks these days, fearing that something might happen to you and your wife while you are out!"

Shen Jinyu: "What happened in the Imperial City?"

"Here, eh! I don't understand, and I'm not very clear either. Go and ask Mr. Song," Fu Sheng said with an ugly face.

Shen Jinyu didn't waste any time and went straight to the courtyard where Song Yao usually lived in the mansion. At that time, Song Yao was huddled in his bedroom. The door was closed and he didn't even open the window. Shen Jinyu walked to the door and shouted,

"Song Yao!"

The room was quiet for a moment, and then there were footsteps. The footsteps came to the door. Song Yao opened the door from the inside. As soon as he saw Shen Jinyu, he pulled him and Qi Yue into the room and closed it again. The door.

Shen Jinyu: "How..."

Song Yao: "Now Jiang Huai'en, the governor of Tingzhou, has led a rebellion. A few days ago, the emperor summoned him to the palace to discuss the new sea trade law that will be implemented next year. Unexpectedly, Jiang Huai'en secretly led 10,000 troops to surround the imperial city and guard the imperial city with him. Also with me were the newly appointed officials from various places in the Jin Dynasty in the past year, as well as the Dongtao assassins who were dormant in the court. The emperor and Lord Qin were trapped in the palace, and I escaped alone. The emperor took the jade seal passed down from the country and hid. Entering the secret passage prepared in advance, Jiang Huai'en killed several ministers and is now leading people to search the palace one by one. Even Lin Qingqiu was trapped by the rebels of the Sky Breaking Army."

"The rebel is not Jiang Huai'en, but a native of Dongtao. Tang Yuanqing is the little prince of Dongtao." Shen Jinyu said the matter directly. Song Yao was so shocked that he opened his mouth and was speechless for a long time. Finally, Stuttering: "How did you know that Tang Yuanqing is the little prince of Dongta?"

Shen Jinyu turned around and left, "I'll explain to you on the way. First, take someone with me to the Tang Mansion. By the way, where is Zheng Li?"

"At home, there is a chaos outside now, and the ministers are all closed at home,"

"Song Yao, you and Yin Baiyi will take everyone to Zheng Li's mansion and capture him for me."

Song Yao nodded, "Okay..."

Before he finished speaking the good words, Qi Yue interrupted him,

"No, just me and Zhao Zhao will go. Yin Baiyi is very skilled, let him follow you," Qi Yue took the initiative to take the job.

Shen Jinyu subconsciously wanted to refuse. He didn't want Qi Yue to take the risk, so Qi Yue could just be responsible and stay by his side. Qi Yue saw Shen Jinyu's thoughts, and she smiled, "I'm not defenseless. Weak woman, I am a well-known double sword bride, why don't I use such a good helper? Leave this matter to me and Zhao Zhao, you go find Tang Yuanqing, I will capture the person and give it to you."

What Qi Yue said made sense. Even though Shen Jinyu didn't want to, he agreed. Qi Yue was not a person who would only cling to him for help. She was brave and resourceful. She was a wife who could fight alongside Shen Jinyu.

Having said that, they no longer wasted time. Qi Yue changed into a set of clothes that were convenient for movement and followed Zhao Zhao to Zheng Li's mansion.

Zheng Li's mansion was heavily guarded and had been protected by guards. Zhao Zhao used the old method of sneaking into the mansion and killing the people standing guard at the door. Then Qi Yue and him entered the mansion directly, and the two of them touched Zheng Li's bedroom. Here, knock people unconscious and take them away.

Shen Jinyu and Song Yao led people to the door of Tang Yuanqing's residence. Along the way, he briefly described Tang Yuanqing's affairs. Song Yao sighed that he didn't expect it, he didn't expect it at all.

There was no one at the entrance of the Tang Mansion, not even a person standing guard. It looked normal, but Shen Jinyu knew that this mansion was a killing ground. He secretly ordered the people he brought to surround the Tang Mansion. , he himself stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Not long after, a man dressed as a servant came and opened the door.

Shen Jinyu: "Tell your master that Marquis Jinyun has the courage to ask for an audience."

The servant followed the order and came out not long after, bowed to the side, stretched out his hand to guide Shen Jinyu, "Please, Mr. Marquis,"

Shen Jinyu followed the guidance of the servants and entered the mansion. The decoration of Tang Yuanqing's mansion was very simple, and it didn't even look like a third-rank minister.

The servant led Shen Jinyu around the front hall and into a wide courtyard. Tang Yuanqing was wearing a green shirt, lighting a lamp and setting up a table in the courtyard, drinking tea alone. Seeing Shen Jinyu coming, he did not Standing up and saluting, Shen Jinyu only raised her hand to make a gesture of invitation. Shen Jinyu walked over and sat opposite Tang Yuanqing, smiling slightly and saying:

"The little prince of Dongtang is so elegant and cheerful,"

Tang Yuanqing also smiled, "Master Hou, it's much faster than I thought," he raised his hand to fill the tea cup in front of Shen Jinyu, "Master Hou, drink tea. I grew it myself, and I harvested a few this year. It’s very rare,”

Shen Jinyu raised her hand to pick up the tea cup, but did not drink it. She only played with it in her hand, "You entered the imperial city thirteen years ago, and it has been five years now. The little prince is really patient."
