The dispute between Bingbu Cen Bilang and the Brocade Guard has escalated, causing panic throughout the capital. The more astute noble families have already closed their doors and locked them, strictly forbidding anyone from entering or leaving.

  British public Shen Xiaohai was slightly restless, even forgetting to put on a dignified posture in front of He Shi, frowning with an uneasy expression.

  Although He Shi was a bit dull, she had heard about the dispute between Jin Yiwei and Cen Bilang today. She also knew that her husband, who was good at flattering people, was worried about something, so she couldn't help but feel anxious in her heart, and even her hands and feet didn't know where to put them. Stammering with a small heart, she asked her husband: "Will Shi Tongzhou implicate you too?"

  After all, Shen Xiaohai had also done a lot of "business" with Xingfu's forces in Tartary, especially since he was involved in the war horse business. No matter which one is said to be exposed, it will be a disaster for the British Consulate.

  It's just a pity that the last time Song Chuyi came to Guo Gongfu as a guest, she unfortunately had an accident and didn't get any information out of her mouth.

  But then she thought again, the news of Shi Tongzhou's return was also received by Jin Yiwei and Zhen Nan Wangfu, probably the Song family really didn't know the inside story. She couldn't help but feel a little strange about herself, picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon, and forgetting to visit Zhen Nan Wangfei more often. Otherwise, maybe she could have heard something.

  Shen Xiaohai was already annoyed, and now with He Shi saying this, he became even more vexed. He slammed his hand heavily on the table: "He hasn't even ascended to the throne yet, and you're worrying about this first? Don't worry, I won't die that easily!"

  Xing An and the others followed Chen Xiang to De Sheng Gate to intercept Kan Bi Liang's party, but there was no news about Xing Fu. Others didn't know what kind of person Xing Fu was, he knew that he wasn't someone who would wait for death with folded arms. If he had no other way out, it was impossible for him to let Kan Bi Liang and the others enter the city so easily.

  Besides, the three law enforcement agencies all have Xing Fu's trusted followers. As long as the case is still handed over to the people of the three law enforcement agencies for trial, Xing Fu will not possibly be punished. He was flustered, but not excessively worried.

  He was worried that Xingfu's relationship with Shengshang was not enough for Shengshang to let the matter go easily.

  He was scolded by him, and he didn't dare to say anything more. His two hands were tightly clenched together, and he glanced anxiously at the window from time to time. Shen Xiaohai had already sent someone out to investigate the news, and it was about this time that there should be a message coming back.

  Fortunately, they didn't have to wait for too long before a servant girl came in to report that Tianyuan had returned. Tianyuan was one of Shen Xiaohai's most trusted men and had been following him for nearly twenty years. He had now risen to the position of general manager and was known for being extremely astute and tactful. It was precisely because of this that Shen Xiaohai felt at ease sending him out to gather information.

  The autumn air had already cooled down, but Tianyuan was still drenched in sweat. He didn't even have time to wipe it off before he rushed towards Shen Xiaohai and He Shi, and with a thud, he knelt down on the ground.

  "Don't kneel down yet, tell me what's going on outside!" Shen Xiaohai hastily got up and anxiously pointed at him, asking: "What's happened?!"

  Tianyuan panted and replied, "Young Master, the stalemate between Governor Cen and Commander Chen has become very intense. In the end, they almost came to blows. The Ministry of War officials were no match for the Imperial Guards, and a deputy officer from the Arsenal was even beaten to death."

  Is someone dead?! He's eyes widened in shock, and he hastily covered his mouth to stifle the exclamation that was about to escape.

  Shen Xiaohai's face turned even darker. The Ministry of War had lost a man, and that old scoundrel Xun Bilang would definitely not let the matter rest. This thing was likely to get bigger and bigger. How could Chen Xiang be so stupid as to actually order his subordinates to kill someone?!

  Tianyuan finished speaking, his breathing had calmed down a lot. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued: "Later on, they started fighting, and at least two or three people died in the Ministry of War. The Imperial Guard also suffered casualties. After that, people came from the palace."

  "Has someone come out of the palace?!" Shen Xiaohai finally couldn't help but interrupt Tianyuan, asking urgently: "Who is it?! Have they taken everyone away?"

  "It's An Gonggong, with an imperial edict. Tian Yuan still felt a lingering fear and took a deep breath: "Xuan Shen Shangshu has entered the palace with Shi Tongzhou."

  This is the end! Not only did He's face turn pale instantly, but Shen Xiaohai was also shocked to the point of being almost unable to move, and it took half a sound to fall back into his chair.

  Xing Fu didn't stop Qian Bi Liang, he must have gone to Sheng Shang to plead for mercy, but now it seems that even if Xing Fu used all his skills, he couldn't stop Sheng Shang.

  "It's a bit late today, go to the Longningbo Mansion tomorrow and make an early visit." Shen Xiaohai quickly calmed down and instructed He Shi: "See if you can get some information out of the Song family."

  He's fingernails had almost pierced his palm, and he hadn't heard Shen Xiaohai's words for a moment. It wasn't until Shen Xiaohai coughed several times that he came to his senses, with a hint of tears and dissatisfaction in his voice, and retorted: "What's the point of going to Changning Bo's mansion? I've been there several times and it's useless. Now it's even more useless. It's better to go to Zhen Nan Wang Fu to gather some information. After all, they caught Shi Tongzhou and took him to see Cen Shangshu, maybe they know something."

  Shen Xiaohai was truly fed up with He's foolishness and slapped her, causing her to stumble. She spat on the ground and said, "Do you know what? It's precisely because the Longning Marquis' estate has nothing to do with this matter from start to finish that they can be asked about it. The Ye family is already involved in this, Ye Jingchuan and Yuan Hong, what truth can you expect them to tell you? If they were really willing to tell you, would they hide the matter of Shi Tongzhou from you? On the other hand, it's the Song family, Old Master Song being a cabinet minister and having no interest in this matter, perhaps he might be able to tell you something."

  Mr. He was confused by his words, and after holding back tears for a while, he finally understood the meaning of his words, and nodded slightly after a while.

  Shen Xiaohai turned around and reminded Tian Yuan: "You go to Uncle Lao's place to ask, see if any message can be passed out from the palace."

  Although his father was old and useless, his mother was only a nominal member of the imperial family by marriage, but this also had its advantages. After all, news from the palace could be obtained to some extent.

  Tianyuan knew that this matter was a matter of life and death, and he did not dare to delay. He immediately nodded in agreement and went to the warehouse to receive the gift.

  Xingfu's funeral bell is about to ring, but the British Consulate cannot die with him, he must think of a way.
