Chapter 339 Unraveling the Mystery, Turning the Tide Against the Enemy
Through meticulous investigation, the conspiracy was gradually unveiled.
Su Jinxiu became increasingly determined in her investigation of the Zhao family's conspiracy. She did not overlook any small clue and, like peeling back layers of an onion, gradually approached the truth.
She started by contacting rivals who had made contact with the mysterious figure, spending a large sum of money to bribe some of their confidants and obtain some key intelligence.
"It is said that the Zhao family is secretly colluding with a certain prince in an attempt to completely destroy the Marquis's mansion."
This news shocked Su Jinxiu. She knew that once the prince was involved, things would become extremely complicated and dangerous.
But Su Jinxiu did not back down; she continued to dig deeper. Through investigating the Zhao family's financial transactions, she discovered some unusual fund flows, all of which ultimately ended up in a mysterious account.
"Who exactly is behind this account?" Su Jinxiu wondered.
After making inquiries and conducting covert investigations, Su Jinxiu finally discovered that the account was related to the prince who colluded with the Zhao family.
Meanwhile, Xiao Ling also began a reorganization within the Marquis's residence. He rigorously interrogated the servants who were behaving suspiciously, and finally, one of them couldn't withstand the pressure and revealed the truth.
"It was the Zhao family who instructed us to sabotage and create chaos within the Marquis's residence."
These testimonies further confirmed Su Jinxiu's suspicions that the series of troubles encountered by the Marquis's mansion were indeed a conspiracy meticulously planned by the Zhao family.
However, just when Su Jinxiu thought she was about to uncover the whole conspiracy, a new crisis emerged.
Realizing that Su Jinxiu's investigation was nearing its core, the Zhao family decided to strike first. They reported to the imperial court that the Marquis's residence was illegally possessing weapons and plotting a rebellion.
"This is utter slander!" Xiao Ling was furious upon hearing the news.
Upon hearing this, the emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the Marquis's residence.
Suddenly, the Marquis's mansion was plunged into a huge crisis.
"We must find evidence as soon as possible to prove the innocence of the Marquis's family," Su Jinxiu said anxiously.
She accelerated the investigation, analyzing the clues and intelligence she collected day and night.
During this process, Su Jinxiu discovered correspondence between the Zhao family and some court officials, which revealed how they plotted to frame the Marquis's family.
"Finally, we've found the crucial evidence." Su Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this time, the imperial investigators had already arrived at the Marquis's residence, and the situation was extremely critical.
Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling decided to turn the tables and lure the enemy out.
Faced with the Zhao family's false accusations and the imperial court's investigation, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling quickly calmed down after a brief period of anger and anxiety, and decided to use a counter-strategy to deal with the crisis.
“Since they think we’ll just sit here and wait to be killed, then we’ll give them an unexpected counterattack,” Xiao Ling said with a determined look in his eyes.
Su Jinxiu nodded slightly, her eyes gleaming with wisdom: "We need to make them slip up on their own."
They first deliberately created a false sense of chaos and panic in the Marquis's residence, making the Zhao family believe that the Marquis's residence was in dire straits.
"The Marquis's mansion is probably doomed this time." The servants whispered among themselves, and these words naturally reached the ears of the Zhao family.
Seeing the state of the Marquis's residence, the Zhao family was overjoyed, thinking their conspiracy was about to succeed, and began to lower their guard.
Xiao Ling secretly sent some trusted confidants, disguised as traitors from the Marquis's mansion, to pass on false information to the Zhao family.
"The Marquis is already preparing to flee, and the Marquis's mansion is in complete chaos."
The Zhao family believed it to be true and couldn't wait to further attack the Marquis's mansion, so they began to act more openly.
At the same time, Su Jinxiu closely monitored the Zhao family's every move and collected evidence of their crimes.
"We must find something to hold against them so they can't recover."
During this process, the Marquis's residence also faced enormous pressure. The imperial investigators constantly searched the residence, causing it many inconveniences.
"Hang in there, everyone. The truth will come out soon," Xiao Ling reassured everyone.
In order to achieve their goal as soon as possible, the Zhao family colluded with some treacherous officials in the court, attempting to expedite the conviction of the Marquis's family.
"As long as you can eliminate the Marquis's mansion, you will all reap the rewards," the Zhao family patriarch said to the treacherous officials.
However, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling saw through all of their schemes.
Just when the Zhao family thought they had victory in their grasp, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling suddenly made their move.
They presented the evidence of the Zhao family's crimes to the emperor, and at the same time exposed the fact that the Zhao family colluded with treacherous officials.
"Your Majesty, the Zhao family has framed the Marquis's family; their intentions are despicable."
Upon seeing this evidence, the emperor was furious.
"How dare you plot and scheme under my very nose! I will not let you off lightly."
The Zhao family was immediately thrown into panic.
But they were not willing to accept defeat and decided to go all in and launch a final counterattack.
"Even if I die, I'll drag the Marquis's mansion down with me."
The Zhao family has gathered all its strength, preparing for a final showdown with the Marquis's mansion.
