After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Chapter 675 Secret
After saying that, he snatched the rice bowl from Liu Ji's hand. He didn't even bother to use the chopsticks, and frantically shoveled the food into his mouth.

He almost didn't chew it and just swallowed it. He didn't slow down until the gnawing and itching in his stomach was relieved.

"Give him a bowl of soup." Qin Yao quickly ordered, fearing 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.

I only vaguely heard things like "abusing power for personal gain" and "seizing a lot of land and houses from diners".

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 loved him very much and waved him 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.

It’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 methods, as long as the blockade was sealed 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 supports the East Palace and is a sharp sword against the princess's house.

Moreover, the Baili family's princes have been killed and demoted in the past few years. Among the princes who maintain the orthodoxy of the royal family, only Prince Feng is able to achieve success.

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

On that day, the Crown 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.

After Wu Sheng finished the play, he passed by the back alley of the Prince's study 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 said 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.

Secretly, 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 was missing from the troupe. 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 with difficulty and said hoarsely:

"The class leader and others 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 master!"

He spoke harshly, but tears of regret fell down 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 your way."

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. Otherwise, with their officials protecting each other, he would not be able to escape death.

Liu Ji didn't miss the flash of Qi Yi in Wu Sheng's eyes, and he felt even more pitiful for this man.

Knowing such a secret, he will die if he tells it, or he will die if he doesn't tell it
and many more!

Liu Ji suddenly thought of something and his eyes were frightened. 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 can't argue! Won't the prince's black knights arrest us as well and silence us?"

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

Once the seeds of doubt are planted 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 warily, 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 can’t pick it up!

This time I picked up a big trouble.

For now, 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 the Jingzhao Mansion Office?" Wu Sheng asked warily.

The couple didn't reply, and the silence was suffocating.

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

He picked up the soup bowl, drank the last mouthful of soup, wiped his mouth, and suddenly stood up, his posture tall and straight.

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."

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

After all, as the elder said, none of them are righteous people, and protecting themselves first and foremost when faced with trouble.

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

She always firmly believed that her master was not the kind of person Wu Sheng described as a cold-shouldered, unjust person.

Otherwise, she would not be reborn like she is today!
Qin Yao met Yin Le's resolute eyes. 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 this 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.

Die early and be 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 didn't believe she had missed anyone.

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

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