News spread quickly in the capital. What Jia Huan did on the first night spread throughout the capital the next day.

He was sitting in the lobby of the restaurant, eating Beijing's specialty food and listening to other diners discussing matters in the Huang Mansion.

"...In the entire Huang Mansion, only Mr. Huang's study burned down, and it did not spread to other places at all. It's really strange. Such a big fire should have burned down all the surrounding houses. In the end, only Mr. Huang was missing.

The fire went out in the house, it was so strange."

"Yes, that's right. I heard that the fire only burned to death Mr. Huang. Except for the injuries sustained while putting out the fire, no one else in the Huang Mansion was burned to death."

"I heard someone say that this may be retribution." The speaker lowered his voice.

"Well, well, it is said that the ghost came to take revenge." Others also lowered their voices.

"I don't know what Mr. Huang did that made people angry."

"I definitely didn't do anything good..."

"..."

Because the death was so bizarre, Mr. Huang's reputation was greatly questioned, and the entire Huang family was implicated.

Originally, the emperor wanted to issue a decree to give his confidant a posthumous honor, but after hearing the mysterious death of Mr. Huang and the rumors among the people, he gave up his previous idea.

Of course, at this time, the emperor still regarded Master Huang as his confidant, but he did not expect that Master Huang had betrayed him.

The emperor was just worried about who should give the position of Jiedushi in the capital.

This was a position that was related to the safety of the entire capital city and the safety of his emperor, and it had to be handed over to the most trusted person.

The fourth prince was more troubled than the emperor.

Mr. Huang's surrender to the Fourth Prince is equivalent to the Fourth Prince taking control of the capital in his own hands. Even if he really leads his troops to force the palace, the Fourth Prince is sure of victory.

But now Lord Huang suddenly died, the position of the Jiedushi of the capital changed hands and returned to the hands of the emperor, and the fourth prince lost control of the capital.

I don't know if I can succeed in winning over the new Jiedushi.

The fourth prince's head was as big as a bucket, and many plans were almost put on hold.

The prince has no idea about Lord Huang's death, he is just a minister, so let him die.

Oh, this man is the uncle of the woman he loves, so he can reluctantly let his Dong Palace Chief Shi go to the royal family to offer incense on his behalf.

To say that the person who had the greatest impact after Mr. Huang's death, besides the Huang family, was the second young wife of the Duke's Mansion, the Huang family.

Without the support of her powerful uncle, the Huang family's position as head of the house was on the verge of collapse. Her sister-in-law had been eyeing the housekeeper's power and wanted to take it away.

I used to be afraid of Huang's uncle, but now...

Jia Huan didn't know that killing an enemy would have such a big impact on the Duke's mansion. After killing the most direct enemy, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Master Huang is the executor of the Qin family's plan, and he is the one who gave the order to eradicate the Jia family.

On the contrary, the fourth prince did not pay attention to such an ant-like existence in the Jia family, and turned around and forgot about it.

After Mr. Huang died, he couldn't even remember the Jia family.

He thought Lord Huang had eliminated all the Jia family, but he didn't know that all the people sent out by Lord Huang had been killed by Jia Huan.

Once Mr. Huang died, the Jia family was considered safe.

However……

Jia Huan saw that the young man walking ahead also had a big head.

Why did Jia Heng come to the capital?

He took two steps forward, grabbed Jia Heng, and dragged him away.

"Second brother? You have indeed come to the capital." Jia Heng was slightly surprised when he saw Jia Huan, and then regained his composure.

Jia Huan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why did you come to the capital?"

Jia Heng: "I'm getting married. To make it easier for me to get married, I wrote to my father-in-law and asked him to help me get through the official affairs department and transfer me to the capital."

Jia Huan asked: "My father, mother and sister Chen'er have also come to the capital?"

Jia Heng: "Of course, my parents will help me prepare for the marriage."

Jia Huan's eyebrows wrinkled.

If Jia Heng did not come to the capital, the fourth prince would definitely not remember him and the Jia family.

But not only did he come to the capital, he also wanted to marry the daughter of a marquis. If the fourth prince found out about it, he remembered that he was from the Jia family...

Jia Huan raised his hand and rubbed his forehead.

Jia Heng took his hand out of Jia Huan's and said softly: "Second brother, you don't want me and my parents to come to the capital, are you afraid that something will happen to us?"

Jia Huan raised his eyes and stared at Jia Heng.

Jia Heng also stared at Jia Huan and whispered: "Brother's death was not an accident, right? You asked my parents to find me to help them avoid danger, right? Did you find out something before you resigned?

Capital City?”

Jia Huan knew that Jia Heng was smart, but he didn't expect that he would be able to find something wrong with Jia Yan's death.

Jia Huan: "How did you find out?"

Jia Heng: "I heard my father tell me about the fire at my eldest brother's house. The fire burned abnormally. It couldn't have burned so fast unless someone added something to aid combustion. In addition, when the bodies were collected at the end, the number was wrong.

Although the body was moved out of the bedroom, who knows whether it belongs to the Qin family or his maid?"

Jia Heng continued: "I have always felt that Mrs. Qin was a woman who was restless at home. The death of her eldest brother made me suspect that Mrs. Qin and her adulterer had done this."

Jia Huan raised his hand and patted Jia Heng on the shoulder: "Since you know this, why are you still coming to the capital? Aren't you afraid that the people behind it will attack you and your parents again and eradicate the roots?"

Jia Heng said: "This is the capital, and the people behind the scenes can't be so rampant. Besides, I am the son-in-law of the Hou Mansion, and I have the backing of the Hou Mansion."

Jia Huan: "Even the Hou Mansion cannot afford to offend the person behind the scenes."

Jia Heng hurriedly asked: "Second brother, what do you know?"

Jia Huan sighed: "Don't regret it."

Jia Heng hurriedly shook his head: "I just want to know the truth and I won't regret it."

Jia Huan brought Jia Heng to his residence and told him about the fourth prince and Master Huang, as well as the whereabouts of the Qin family.

Jia Heng was stunned when he heard this.

He did not expect that his family would be involved in the royal family's conspiracy.

It took a long time for Jia Heng to react.

He gritted his teeth: "I knew Mrs. Qin was not a good person. My eldest brother would regret marrying Mrs. Qin. Now, he doesn't even have the chance to regret it."

Jia Huan sighed: "I'm not speaking for the Qin family. Although she is a licentious person, the death of my eldest brother was not caused by her, but by the fourth prince and Mr. Huang."

Jia Heng suddenly raised his head and stared at Jia Huan: "As soon as I came to the capital, I heard about Mr. Huang being burned to death in his study. Is it, was it you who did it?"

Jia Huan did not deny it, but nodded: "I am just treating others in their own way."
