Therefore, although Cai Jing's family had strict defenses, in Shen Xin's eyes, they were useless.

Not long after, Shen Xin and Wuqing arrived outside the attic where Cai Jing lived.

There were quite a few people in the attic, all of whom were responsible for serving Cai Jing, and the innate master specially invited by Cai Jing lived not far away.

But this is not a problem for Shen Xin.

He used the Heart Sutra of Returning to Dreams to clear the way, and whenever he met someone, he would make them fall asleep.

He walked along in a swaggering manner without causing any trouble.

After a while, Shen Xin and Wuqing came to the study where Cai Jing was.

The door of the study was open, and the lights inside and outside were bright. Cai Jing was sitting behind the desk, reading the Art of War.

Suddenly, two figures stretched out and appeared in the study.

Cai Jing looked up and saw only two people blocking the door. Due to the light, he couldn't see their faces clearly.

"Who is it?" Cai Jing shouted.

Even if he didn't see their faces clearly, he didn't think Shen Xin and Wuqing would be his servants.

"If you want to kill yourself, just shout." Shen Xin walked into the house and approached Cai Jing step by step.

Cai Jing obviously recognized Shen Xin, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

"You...who are you?"

"My name is Shen Xin. Didn't Lord Cai recognize me just now?" Shen Xin smiled and directly exposed Cai Jing's little thoughts.

"What brings you here, Elder Shen?" Cai Jing had no choice but to confess.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to see you because of your relationship with An Yunshan. I'm here to see you because of her."

Upon hearing this, Cai Jing turned his gaze to Wuqing.

He knew Wuqing. Even if he didn't, it wouldn't be difficult for him to guess her identity because of Wuqing's disability and she could just use a wooden stick.

"Why did Miss Wuqing come to see me?"

"Bang", Wuqing raised his crutch and released a stream of true energy, directly knocking Cai Jing to the ground.

In the past, even if everyone knew that Cai Jing was a treacherous prime minister, he would have to submit to him when he took over the position of prime minister.

But now, Wuqing has already withdrawn from the Shenhou Mansion, and the rules of the court cannot bind her.

Not to mention, Cai Jing was a treacherous prime minister, and her family died because of Cai Jing!

It has to be said that Cai Jing’s current position was not only due to luck.

He really had some skills that ordinary people didn't have. He was knocked down by Wuqing's sudden attack. Although he was not seriously injured, an ordinary person would have been angry a long time ago.

People like Cai Jing, who lived a life of luxury and held great power, were even more intolerable.

But Cai Jing endured it. He stood up quickly, as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile: "Miss Wuqing, if you have something to say, just talk it over. Why bother with violence?"

"Put aside your official rhetoric. I came to you today to find out the truth about the extermination of my Sheng family." Wuqing said in a cold voice.

Cai Jing did not reply. He was silent for a while, then turned to look at Shen Xin: "Elder Shen, I said, can you survive?"

"Speak!" A hidden weapon flew out from Wuqing's clothes and landed directly on Cai Jing's calf, piercing into it fiercely.

"Ah~"

Cai Jing screamed and fell to the ground, covering his legs.

"If you tell me, you may not survive, but you can die quickly. If you don't tell me, you can neither live nor die." Shen Xin chuckled and said to Cai Jing.

Cai Jing gritted his teeth and endured the pain, saying: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

"It wasn't your father who reported what happened back then. I discovered it myself. Your father and the others thought they were being secretive, but in fact, they couldn't hide it from me at all."

Chapter 145 Accept it as a dog

"They wanted to sue me for corruption. In fact, they didn't know that most of the money I embezzled went into the emperor's pocket."

"They can't bring me down at all, and the emperor won't kill me for this."

"However, I didn't kill anyone from your Sheng family. I just silenced the mouths of the other seven families."

"Swish", another hidden weapon flew out and pierced Cai Jing's thigh.

"Ah~"

Cai Jing screamed and stopped his hands near the wound. He gritted his teeth and his face turned red. It took him a while to recover.

"You left our family alone just to have my father killed by his own people so that he would not even have a clear conscience after his death." Wuqing said coldly.

"Ha, that's not what I meant. In my eyes, Sheng Dingtian and the other seven people are all the same."

"I left him here not to let your father be blamed and have no clear conscience even after his death, but to leave your family here for the emperor." Cai Jing chuckled and said.

"What do you mean?" Wuqing frowned and asked.

"Seven families were silenced, and the emperor needs someone to calm his anger. Put the hat of traitor on the Sheng family and kill the people of the Sheng family. In this way, the emperor will have an explanation to the court." Cai Jing said.

After saying that, he burst into laughter again.

"Wuqing, you want to kill me just to avenge your father, but your real enemy is not me, but the emperor."

"Yes, I am a treacherous minister, but your father's death has nothing to do with me. Your father's death was caused by the emperor's will."

"You want revenge? Then go and kill the emperor."

Cai Jing knew that this was the key to his survival.

He knew what kind of person Wuqing was. The real murderer was the emperor. If Wuqing didn't seek revenge on the emperor, how could he have the nerve to kill an "innocent" person like him?

And given her ruthless character, will she seek revenge on the emperor?

Just look at Wuqing’s conflicted expression at this moment and you’ll know it’s hard to say!

Cai Jing is also gambling!

"You are lying." After a while, Wuqing calmed himself down and glared at Cai Jing.

"Am I lying, or are you making excuses for the emperor? Wuqing, can't you read minds? Don't you know whether what I said is true or not? You know very well that what I said is true, but you just don't want to believe it."

Cai Jing looked straight at Wuqing. He was obviously the weak one, but he seized the opportunity and strengthened Wuqing.

"Pa", Shen Xin walked over and slapped Cai Jing on the face, then grabbed his sleeve and used Huimeng Heart Sutra to verify the authenticity.

Mind reading is not omnipotent, and with Wuqing's current state of mind, he is simply unable to read other people's minds.

What's more, what's in one's heart can be deceiving. Knowing that Wuqing can read one's mind, it's not difficult to do this temporarily with precautions.

But Huimeng Xinjing is different. In the dream, Shen Xin has plenty of ways to deal with Cai Jing.

Soon, Shen Xin got the answer he wanted.

Wuqing didn't know that Shen Xin would return to the Dream Heart Sutra, but he roughly guessed what he was doing. Seeing Shen Xin let go of Cai Jing and stood up, Wuqing hurriedly asked: "Is what he said true or false?"

"Really." Shen Xin replied.

"Really? If it's true, then...then I..." Wuqing was a little dazed and his body unconsciously stepped back.

But she forgot that her legs were disabled. As Wuqing moved, the wooden stick that supported her body suddenly fell off. Without support, Wuqing fell to the ground in an instant.

Seeing this, Shen Xin hurried forward and hugged her.

Wushuang was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Shen Xin tightly with both hands, like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw.

"Shen Xin, what should I do? What should I do?"

"I will avenge you." Shen Xin replied.

Wuqing heard this and quickly shook his head: "No, no revenge, I don't want anything to happen to you."

Regicide is no small matter. If Shen Xin helped her kill Cai Jing, it would certainly be unacceptable to the court, but he would be able to gain a good reputation in the world.

But the emperor is different. Even if he is a tyrant, if Shen Xin kills him, he will not be tolerated in the court and will be targeted by the court. The world of martial arts will also not tolerate him.

Killing corrupt officials and killing the emperor are two completely different concepts!

And this situation will not change even if Shen Xin runs to other countries.

As a regicide, emperors of other countries would naturally reject him.

It is also difficult for Shen Xin to survive in the underworld of other countries.

Wuqing didn't want Shen Xin to go to this extent for her, and she had not actually made up her mind to take revenge on the emperor.

"Don't worry. Even if I have to kill the emperor to avenge you, it's not now." Shen Xin patted Wuqing's shoulder gently and comforted him.

Wuqing opened her mouth and wanted to say that she actually hadn't made up her mind yet.

Shen Xin understood Wuqing's meaning: "Don't have so much psychological burden. The person sitting on the throne now is not worthy of your loyalty. Killing him and replacing him with another emperor may be a good thing for the Northern Song Dynasty."

"As for my part, I will do it quietly, and no one will know that I did it."

"Yeah." Wuqing nodded slightly, feeling extremely relieved.

To kill the emperor or not to kill him is an extremely difficult decision for Wuqing.

Now, Shen Xin helped her make up her mind, which saved Wuqing a lot of distress.

Her heart was at peace at this moment.

If possible, she wanted to hold Shen Xin like this forever and let time stop at this moment.

……

"Do you want to kill him?"

After a while, Shen Xin let go of Wuqing and put her on the chair next to him and let her sit down.

Then, Shen Xin turned his attention to Cai Jing.

"Is there any use for you keeping him?" Wuqing knew that Shen Xin wanted to take over the An family's business. If Cai Jing was alive, it would solve a lot of problems for Shen Xin.
