The disgraced official I took care of was actually Zhu Houcong's childhood friend.

Chapter 547

On this day, after nearly half a year of planning, Wang Mingyue finally decided to take action against the Fang family.

The reason why the plan had been in place for so long was that Wang Mingyue wanted to train the group of people who were going to fight, but the training location could not be near the capital, otherwise it would be very easy for the Embroidered Uniform Guard to find out.

The selection of the people to carry out the deed was also very particular. Wang Mingyue directly selected some thirteen or fourteen-year-olds from the families of those exiled officials, and with Xia Yan's secret help, helped them change their identities.

In this way, even if the Embroidered Uniform Guard investigates, they will not be able to find the criminal officials, and if they cannot find the criminal officials, they will not be able to connect it to Wang Mingyue.

Xia Yan originally didn't want to pay attention to Wang Mingyue, but when she heard Wang Mingyue say that Zhou Chu actually had a child who was already two years old, Xia Yan couldn't sit still. If she could get her hands on this child, it would be a fatal threat to Zhou Chu.

As an enemy, Xia Yan knew Zhou Chu very well. This commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was extremely sentimental. If this child really fell into his hands, Xia Yan felt excited just thinking about it.

This incident made Xia Yan look at Wang Mingyue in a new light. He never expected that this woman would know information that he himself was unaware of.

This matter is not difficult to verify. The contrast between the Fang family before and after the child's birth shows that Fang Hong was even promoted to commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard by imperial decree after the child's birth.

All of this indicates that this child's identity is extraordinary.

The appearance of thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys is changing drastically, which is why Wang Mingyue chose these people. To prevent them from betraying her, Wang Mingyue even put poison in their mouths before they set off, so that they would immediately commit suicide if the situation turned bad.

In reality, Wang Mingyue didn't really care about her own life or death, but the thought of being discovered by Zhou Chu so easily was unacceptable to her. If she was going to do it, she wanted to do it perfectly.

Wang Mingyue also chose the right time to make her move, precisely when Fang Hong was leading the Imperial Guards out of the capital on business.

At this time, the Fang residence was almost undefended, with only some servants and gatekeepers. In the dead of night, more than twenty well-trained assassins under Wang Mingyue's command headed straight for the Fang residence.

Before the servants of the Fang family could react, many had their throats slit.

By the time Shen Qing realized something was wrong, the assassins were about to surround the room where Shen Qing was.

"Who?"

Seeing the many figures outside, Shen Qing's alarm bells rang in her mind, and she asked a question.

No one answered her.

This made Shen Qing's heart sink to the bottom; she realized that these people had come with ill intentions.

Although he didn't know what these people's purpose was, Shen Qing would never sit idly by and wait for his death.

She picked up the sleeping Fang Heng, opened a hidden door in the wall, and went inside.

Shen Qing built this secret room entirely because of Zhou Chu's influence. Having done business with Zhou Chu for so many years, Shen Qing's thinking was deeply influenced by Zhou Chu. When Zhou Chu dug the Zhou mansion into a maze of interconnected passages, Shen Qing had a similar idea in his mind.

However, at that time, Shen Qing was all alone and didn't care much about these things. It wasn't until Fang Heng was born that Shen Qing realized that if Princess Deqing knew Fang Heng's identity, it meant that not everyone knew, and that the news would eventually leak out.

These were all things Shen Qing had imagined. In reality, she didn't have a full understanding of the crisis she was about to face. Otherwise, she wouldn't have just built one secret room, but would have built a secret passage leading to other places like Zhou Chu did.

The sound of the mechanism turning was particularly jarring in the dead of night. Upon hearing it, the assassins broke down the door one by one, but by then the door to the secret chamber that Shen Qing had entered was completely closed, and they could not see where the entrance to the secret chamber was.

"There's a secret room with hidden mechanisms. Search it carefully; we can't stay here long!"

"The leader of the assassins said in a low voice."

Upon hearing this, the group of assassins began to carefully search the secret chambers and mechanisms within the room.

The secret chamber built by Shen Qing was not particularly ingenious, and the people she hired were just ordinary craftsmen. These assassins found the entrance to the secret chamber in about fifteen minutes.

The group entered the secret room, knocked Shen Qing unconscious, and snatched Fang Heng from her hands.

When Fang Hong returned and saw the corpse in the yard, his expression changed drastically. At that moment, Fang Hong realized that something terrible had happened in his family.

She rushed to Shen Qing's room and saw that the door to the secret room was open. Fang Hong's face turned extremely ugly.

She entered the secret room and saw Shen Qing, who was unconscious. She looked left and right but did not see Fang Heng. She carried Shen Qing to the side room and placed her on the bed.

At this point, Fang Hong was basically certain that these people were after Fang Heng.

Fang Heng's identity has probably already been discovered by some people.

These people must be heading towards Lord Zhou.

"Shen Qing, wake up."

After Fang Hong placed Shen Qing on the bed, he called out.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qing slowly woke up.

Upon waking up and seeing Fang Hong, Shen Qing immediately sat up, her face full of anxiety.

"They've kidnapped Heng'er! Go and save Heng'er!"

Shen Qing looked at Fang Hong with a pleading expression.

"Who are they?"

Although Fang Hong had already guessed it, her head was still buzzing when she heard Shen Qing say that.

She forced herself to calm down and looked at Shen Qing, asking him a question.

"I don't know. It was a group of men in black who suddenly appeared outside the room. I sensed something was wrong, so I carried Heng'er into the secret room, but these men quickly found the mechanism to the secret room."

As Shen Qing was speaking, she suddenly burst into tears.

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have built the secret room in the first place. I should have built a secret passage leading to other places."

At this moment, Shen Qing was completely at a loss and didn't know what to do.

"I'll gather manpower right now and find these people even if we have to dig three feet into the ground!"

Fang Hong gritted his teeth and said.
