Later, just a step ahead of the Ministry of Justice, they found the hidden place of Cui Cheng. His subordinates signaled, and Qi Xiaomian quickly gathered all the paintings in the room.
There was no time for further arrangements; as soon as they exited the small room, a person came down from above.
Yan Min?
Qi Xiaomian had seen and understood him before, but this was their first encounter. This person was capable and gave him the impression of being very much like Shi Yun.
Yongxin Marquis.
Yan Min greeted Qi Xiaomian, his sharp eagle-like eyes fixed intently on the small door. "May I go in and take a look?"
Qi Xiaomian stepped aside, revealing an empty room with nothing inside.
Yan Min was still determined to peek inside. He turned around and began moving boxes. It seemed unreasonable for such a secretive place to be empty; it needed to be filled with something to prevent anyone from nitpicking at the details later.
Qi Xiaomian was somewhat surprised by Yan Min's reaction. "Is Yan Daren helping me cover my tracks?"
Sighing, he thought that since he couldn't avoid being implicated later, and to prevent the Marquis from harboring any murderous intent towards him, he would express his stance early on and align himself with the Marquis.
On the surface, he resembled Shi Yun, but inside, he turned out to be a Mingze. Qi Xiaomian found this person interesting and decided to lend a hand.
Yan Min continued, "When I first entered Cui's residence, Gu Shangshu seemed to have made some gains. He was escorting several young men out, all of them handsome scholars with a bit of martial arts background. However, their walking style seemed different from that of normal men."
It was not surprising that the Imperial Teacher privately took in a few students.
Yan Min chuckled, "The Yongxin Marquis is still young; he's only been in charge of The Office of Censors for a few months. Strange cases have become rare. That kind of walking posture must have been developed through repeated interactions with others."
Tsk tsk, who would have thought that the high-ranking Imperial Teacher had such affairs behind closed doors? If His Majesty were to find out, he would surely be enraged.
How could the esteemed Imperial Teacher have such moral failings? If this were to spread, it would certainly affect His Majesty's reputation.
Therefore, even if the Cui Family was not proven guilty of treason this time, their outcome would not be much better.
Qi Xiaomian understood Yan Min's meaning and recalled the room full of paintings; suddenly, a complex mix of emotions surged within him.
After finishing with the boxes, Yan Min quickly began flipping through books, skimming through them with purpose. Fortunately, there weren't many; he soon found a few volumes and handed them to Qi Xiaomian.
As Qi Xiaomian opened one and glanced at a page, he closed it again. "What do you mean by this?"
He casually asked the Marquis to take them to Miss Sang; perhaps they would be useful in the future.
Qi Xiaomian remained vigilant and did not respond.
Yan Min explained, "Like you, I also have someone I need to protect wholeheartedly."
I envy the Marquis, who can freely interact with her in the world, while I can only silently guard her from the shadows.
To hasten the end of these troubling days, Yongxin Marquis, I hope you will take care of me in the future.
Please also take a moment to clear away any traces, Marquis. I have invited Gu Shangshu over; it’s best to handle such important evidence with all three of us working together.
Once the evidence was retrieved, Minister of Justice Gu Chen unexpectedly found his mood significantly improved despite the earlier frustrations.
The teams gathered at the Ministry of Justice Prison.
