"What?" Mrs. Xia Wang's eyes widened in disbelief, her voice trembled and she shook her head repeatedly, "Impossible, impossible, she wouldn't do this to us, she is mine..."

Xia Ziming glared back at her unspoken words.

Mrs. Xia Wang realized that she had almost caused a fatal disaster, and when she thought about her daughter actually wanting her to die, she broke down and burst into tears.

No one who studies medicine is stupid, and Xia Ziming's mind is not slow at all. At this time, he has already made several guesses.

The worst-case scenario is that Su Yurou already knows their true identities.

Why did he lure Du Lanzhi to kill Xia Qingyao that day, and why did Su Yurou lure Jin Yiwei to kill them now.

Xia Ziming felt sad for a while and almost shed tears.

Is this the cycle of cause and effect?

Seeing the Xia family couple acting like this, Cao Qianhu sneered. He turned around and walked to Lin Rong: "Commander, please give me your instructions?"

Lin Rong looked at the Xia family expressionlessly.

Originally, the misappropriation of property should be the responsibility of the Shuntian Mansion Yamen, but it was not the turn of their Jinyiwei people to take action.

But the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenyuan sent a message to visit, and when they met, they sued the Xia family.

To this day, he still doesn't understand why that Miss Su looked like "I told you an important piece of information, how can you thank me?"

But what Miss Su clearly revealed was that Marquis Zhenyuan requested that this family be severely punished.

Although Zhenyuan Marquis Su Yinqiu did not hold a high official position, he had many connections in the court. Lin Rong did not want to offend Zhenyuan Marquis. Since he had already ordered his daughter to ask for help, he simply sent someone to handle the matter for him.

Thinking of this, Lin Rong ordered in a deep voice: "The Xia family will be taken to Zhao Prison and will be dealt with in accordance with the law after strict investigation. The Xia family's property will be counted and sealed from now on."

"Yes." Cao Qianhu responded immediately and turned around to order his warriors and captains to take action.

When he heard that the whole family was going to prison, Xia Ziming's legs softened and he fell to the ground.

But Mrs. Xia howled because of her family property: "You are unreasonable, why did you raid our house? We didn't do that at all! You are trying to force me to death! My old lady is no longer alive, no longer alive!"

Cao Qianhu walked up to Mrs. Xia, pulled out the embroidered spring knife with a clang, and sneered: "If you don't want to live, can I help you?"

"You...I, I..." Old Mrs. Xia muttered, her face covered with tears and runny nose, but she did not dare to say another word.

Lieutenant Lux held Xia Ziming's shoulders and led him outside. The rest of the Xia family, whether they were crying or fainting, were also forcibly dragged out.

Xia Qingyao and Xia Xingqian were together, and neither of them resisted. Therefore, the Jinyi Guards did not do anything to them, and only pushed them twice before getting into the prison car.

The Xia family's master and his servants crowded into more than a dozen prison cars and drove to Zhao Prison amid the crowds of people watching and talking.

Prince Chen's Mansion, Yanling's residence.

Murong Zheng's slender eyebrows were furrowed, his long and narrow eyes narrowed in displeasure, and he listened to Gao Li's reply with a stern face, but the corners of his mouth curved in an evil way.

"...So now, the Xia family is all locked up." After Gao Li said this, he bowed his head and stepped aside.

Murong Zheng's nails dug into the delicate cloud pattern on the brocade sleeves, and he said in a deep voice: "I knew this family was not a good one."

Ye Ping, a close guard, looked at Murong Zheng worriedly, and carefully considered his words to persuade: "Your Majesty, please don't be impulsive."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Gao Li's fair, beardless face wrinkled into the skin of a bitter gourd, "your own health has not improved yet. Besides, regarding the matter of Jin Yiwei and the Xia family, you still don't know and don't know the reason behind it.

It’s so rash to intervene.”

Murong Zheng raised his eyes, smiled, and casually ordered: "Pei Yu, Ye Ping."

"My subordinate is here." Two close guards saluted together.

"Come with me." Murong Zheng stood up, straightened his dark blue wide-sleeved robe, took a folding fan and went out, casually ordering, "Gao Li, prepare your horse."

"Hey, Your Majesty, my servant will go right away." Gao Li sighed, knowing his master's temper, he could only gallop to prepare the horse.

Zhao prison was filled with ghosts and gloom, and only the torch inserted sideways by the cell door brought a glimmer of light to the entire corridor.

Occasionally, screams of execution and begging for mercy echoed through the corridor, which made people's hair stand on end.

Xia Qingyao was locked up with Mrs. Xia, Mrs. Xia Wang, her second aunt Dong, her third aunt Qu, Xia Qingxuan and other girls. Diagonally opposite were the men of the Xia family.

Xia Qingyao sat on the damp straw, her nose filled with the smell of blood and moldy rot. Looking around, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Su Yurou bit back the Xia family and had the ability to bury the entire Xia family with her, which she did not expect.

Now she must think of a way to protect herself, not only to protect herself, but also to protect her second brother.

"Who is Xia Ziming, come out!" Outside the prison, a jailer shouted loudly with a whip.

Xia Ziming, who was in the cage diagonally opposite, trembled all over, hunched his neck and hid in the crowd, but was pushed out by Xia Ziying: "He is it!"

Xia Ziming fell to the ground and looked back at his second brother in disbelief: "You..."

"Come out with me." The jailer dragged Xia Ziming out by his neck like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered.

The chains rattled, and the jailer said as he walked: "Don't worry, you will be next."

Xia Ziying immediately turned pale with fear: "We were not the ones trying to seize the property, it was Xia Ziming himself who did it!"

"Shut up, shut up, everyone!"

The patrolling jailer struck the prison cage with a whip, and the loud sound echoed in the dark prison, which was quite shocking.

This feeling of the knife hanging above their heads and not knowing when it would fall made everyone in the Xia family nervous.

Xia Wang and Xia Qingxuan hugged each other and cried, and cursed Xia Ziming together:

"You're an old guy. He's willing to give up his life for money. He doesn't have to involve his whole family."

"We have finally had two good days, and dad is making such a fuss. Is the family going to eat or drink less?"

The two cursed the second and third wives, and everyone was filled with indignation.

Mrs. Xia felt sorry for her eldest son, slapping her thigh and angrily yelling: "Shut up, all of you! If it weren't for the fact that you have no ability, no income, all of you have so many things to do, and you want to marry and take concubines, how can the boss go there just for money?

Do this kind of thing?

"If the boss is really convicted by them, do you think that all of you can escape? Why are you arguing!"

Mrs. Xia's last words made everyone feel sad. The female relatives cried loudly, and the servants also cried and lamented their misery.

At this moment, there was a "clatter" of unlocking at the end of the corridor.

The bright sunshine outside shone in, illuminating the steps in front of the door.

The jailer trotted up to meet him respectfully and flatteringly, saluting with his waist.

The person leading the way said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please go this way."

Then Xia Qingyao heard a familiar voice: "Where is the Xia Court?"
