"Liu Xi is related to Jiang Bie He?" Yao Yue asked in surprise.
" Not only is it related," Ye QingChen replied." It's a deep relationship." Jiang Biehe's wife was Liu Xi's goddaughter. If it weren't for Liu Xi's secret support, how could a mere errand boy like him have his current status in the martial world?”
"I see. So, Liu Xi had instructed Jiang Biehe to attack Jiang Feng's family?”Lian Xing said.
Ye QingChen shook his head and said," The Jiang family is just a merchant family. With Liu Xi's power, crushing the Jiang family is as easy as crushing a few ants. Why would it be so troublesome? This matter should have been planned by Jiang Biehe himself.”
"Legend has it that Jiang Biehe was once Jiang Feng's errand boy. They grew up together and were like brothers. If Liu Xi had not requested it from behind, what reason would Jiang Biehe have to frame Jiang Feng?”
Yao Yue sneered." Jiang Biehe is known as the chivalrous hero of Jiangnan. He has a reputation for being kind and generous, but he is a treacherous hypocrite behind his back. As long as Jiang Feng did not die, his past as Jiang Feng's attendant would forever be remembered by others. This Hero Jiang Bie He would naturally be dissatisfied.”
Ye QingChen sighed," A man's heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant. Jiang Feng treated Jiang Biehe with sincerity, but Jiang Biehe was too ambitious. He was ultimately an ingrate that could not be raised properly.”
Lian Xing raised her eyebrows and asked in an innocent voice,"Since this matter has nothing to do with Liu Xi, why is he so afraid that the Sword King will find out about Jiang Biehe? With Liu Xi's cruel personality, he shouldn't care too much about his godson-in-law, right?”
Ye QingChen said," Liu Xi is the Governor of the East Chamber. Although he has a high position and authority, there are countless eyes watching him. He has to be extremely careful with his every move. Those dirty things that are not convenient for him to do personally have been done by Jiang Biehe. After so many years, who knew how many things Jiang Biehe had on him, so he naturally had to protect him with all his might. I only slapped Liu Xi once. Even if I had to break one of his legs, he could only endure it!”
"If that's the case, why don't you seize Jiang Biehe and take down Liu Xi in one fell swoop, Master?" Yao Yue asked coldly. Liu Xi was in charge of the East Chamber and was a key figure in the Ming King camp. His death was like cutting off an arm of the Ming King.”
Ye QingChen shook his head," It won't be that easy. With Liu Xi's cunning, it's impossible for Jiang Biehe to get hold of any fatal evidence. Moreover, the Ming King has deep roots in the East Military Hall. Even if Liu Xi is killed, Cao Zhengchun will be there to replace him. He won't be a real threat to him." Instead of alerting the enemy, it was better to lure them out and not attack, making the enemy constantly on tenterhooks and in awe. This King will not make a move, but once I make a move, I will make the enemy eternally consigned to eternal damnation!”
Lian Xing smiled and said gently," Master, I admire your foresight. I believe that the supervisor of the East Chamber hasn't been able to sleep well recently."”
……
At the same time, what happened in the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'yamen spread throughout the Holy Capital at an extremely fast speed.
Everywhere in the streets and alleys, in the tea houses and taverns, people were talking about what had just happened in the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'yamen.
Those citizens who were lucky enough to go to the scene excitedly narrated how Ye QingChen had swiftly concluded the Jiang family's massacre case and slapped the supervisor of the East Military Factory mercilessly, causing waves of exclamations.
For the first time, the name of the ninth prince of Great Yan, Sword King Ye QingChen, was known by the women, children, and the elderly.
Heaven Immortal Tower, one of the most famous restaurants in the Sacred Capital.
In the private room on the top floor, two burly figures sat opposite each other.
Next to them was a window, and they could see half of the Holy Capital from the window.
Such a private room was extremely luxurious. Even a cup of tea was worth a hundred gold.
Moreover, it was not something that could be booked with money. Only the top figures with wealth were qualified to enter.
The two people in the private room were the most powerful people in the Holy Capital.
One of them was Great Yan's fourth prince, Han King Liu Che.
One of them was Great Yan's Seventh Prince, King Song Zhao Kuangyin.
Whether it was wealth or nobility, the two of them could be said to be at the extreme.
"Old Jiu has really made a big splash this time! Presumably, Imperial Father was also very satisfied with his performance.”
Liu Che said in a straightforward manner and downed the wine in his cup.
"Yeah, no one would have thought that Ninth Brother would be so powerful. Even Eighth Brother was tricked. I underestimated him before.”
Zhao Kuangyin also raised his glass and took a sip.
He was the same as Liu Che, both of them were from the military and had a large army.
However, he wasn't as boorish as Liu Che. Instead, he had a scholarly air to him and was a famous scholarly commander in the army.
Liu Che put down his wine glass and said calmly,""The battle for the crown prince is already very intense. Now that there's another vengeful Ninth Brother, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the future.”
Zhao Kuangyin nodded his head with deep emotions. There were only so many positions in the imperial court, and they had already been divided among the eight princes. If Ye QingChen wanted to forcefully squeeze in, he would definitely disrupt the old power structure.
"Recently, the Khitans, Xixia, Mongolia, and Jin Kingdom are all restless. It's really not suitable for civil strife. He hoped that Ninth Brother was really as he said and was only interested in Jianghu murder cases.”Zhao Kuangyin sighed softly.
Liu Che said,"The Great Court will be held in half a month. Ninth Brother will definitely attend." At that time, even if Ninth Brother wanted to hide his edge, he would definitely not be able to do it. Just what kind of ability did he have? He would know once he tried.”
……
Prince Ming's Mansion
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the main seat and looked at Liu Xi, who was kneeling at the foot of the steps, with a gloomy expression.
"Tell me, what happened to you at the Embroidered Uniform Guards yamen today?”Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.
A layer of cold sweat appeared on Liu Xi's forehead.
He knew Zhu Yuanzhang's personality very well. The calmer he was, the angrier he was. If he didn't answer well, he would be in trouble.
"Reporting to your highness, this subordinate was really forced into a corner today. That Jiang Bie He is a chess piece that I have hidden in Jianghu. I have entrusted him with many dirty things. Once this person falls into the hands of the Sword King, the consequences will be unimaginable.”Liu Xi said.
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked and shouted,"Bastard!" What are you doing? Do you want the Sword King to have something on me?”
"Your Highness, don't worry. This subordinate will definitely settle this matter as soon as possible. We won't let the Sword King seize our weakness." Liu Xi hurriedly said.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that the veins on his forehead popped out. This meant that before he could solve the problem, he would have to be controlled by Ye QingChen.
In these three days, he had already been slapped several times by Ye QingChen, but he had to endure it, shattering his teeth and swallowing blood.
This kind of feeling was really stifling!
