"Lord Hu, what else do you have to say?”
Yang Xian stood up, looked down at Hu Weiyong, and sneered,
"Can't I capture these people? Did you catch the wrong person?"
Looking at the 'irrefutable evidence' on the papers, Hu Weiyong's imposing manner was deflated.
He knew that he no longer had the confidence to challenge Yang Xian. If he continued to stay here, he would only be humiliating himself.
"Farewell!"
Hu Weiyong reluctantly cupped his hands, turned around, and left.
Yang Xian sneered and sat back on the armchair.
" Sigh, it's boring for me to be the Left Deputy of the Ministry of Central Affairs…"
He stroked his beard and sighed.
"A mere council member dares to come and roar.”
"I still have to deal with it myself. I don't even have anyone to help me…"
Hearing this, the three subordinates standing at the side immediately trembled!
Lord Yang was pointing at them!
"This Hu Weiyong is too outrageous! Lord Zuo Cheng, I want to impeach him!”
"Yes! He had no respect for his superiors and roared in court! Did he think that the Ministry of Central Affairs was run by his family? I want to join him too!"
"We must impeach him! He was usually arrogant and despotic. Today, he did not even put Lord Zuo Cheng in his eyes. In the future, would he not even put the Emperor in his eyes?”
"It's just…"
The few of them agreed and all expressed their intention to impeach Hu Weiyong.
Seeing this, Yang Xian smiled.
"There are people outside the court who do not respect the law, and there are also people in the court who are domineering!”
He slapped the iron ruler and snorted.
"They all have to be dealt with!"
……
It was night.
Ying Tian, Li Residence.
"Master, master…"
Hu Weiyong kneeled at Li Shan Zhang's feet and cried,
"That Yang Xian is too arrogant!”
"He's just a Zuo Deputy, but he's already more awe-inspiring than you were back then! I've had enough today!"
In front of him was the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, Xiao He of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Korea, Li Shanchang!
One of the leaders of Huaixi Group!
Although he had retired from the position of Left Prime Minister due to his old age, he still had an extremely high prestige in the court and even in the entire Ming Dynasty!
"Weiyong, get up first."
Li Shan Chang, whose hair and beard were all white but still in high spirits, helped Hu Weiyong up and said with a faint smile,
"This old master already knows about the matter.”
"That Yang Xian is a new official after all. It's normal for him to be a little sharper. Why do you have to make things difficult for him?”
"You still have a long way to go. Didn't I tell you…that your future achievements are limitless? He was definitely not someone a mere Yang Xian could compare to.”
Hu Weiyong stood up and dusted himself off.
"Tell me, what was the result of your argument today?”
Lee Shan Chang took a sip of health tea and said softly.
He had completely entered a state of retirement. Everything he did was slow, as if nothing could make him anxious.
"Very bad."
Hu Weiyong sighed and said,
"Yang Xian brought out the evidence.”
"Even if we want to protect them, we can't protect them…"
Li Shan Zhang's expression changed.
"Evidence? He was sitting in the imperial court, so how could he know about Fengyang's situation? Where could he get any hard evidence?”
He put down his teacup and asked curiously,
"…Who gave it to him?"
Hu Weiyong shook his head.
"I don't know. He said that Liu Bowen received an anonymous grievance letter and the Imperial Censorate impeached him.”
He said in a deep voice,
"Yang Xian received the impeachment and evidence and immediately ordered the arrest. He didn't even leave any room for negotiation!”
"By now, those three unlucky fellows have probably been captured and are being escorted to the capital…"
"The students were thinking on the way here…They must have planned this beforehand! Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to complete all the procedures so quickly in less than a day!”
"That anonymous letter was definitely just an excuse! Liu Bowen might have already targeted them and been investigating them in secret!”
If it wasn't for his meticulous planning, how could he have launched such a thunderous attack and caught them off guard?!
"Liu Bowen? Is he that capable?"
Lee Shan Chang shook his head and laughed,
"If he personally went to Fengyang to investigate the case, it's possible, but he hasn't left Yingtian all these years.”
"Ha…I don't have the ability."
Hu Weiyong was slightly startled, but he nodded.
That was true.
Under Liu Bowen, Yang Xian was the only powerful character, and the relationship between master and disciple was not that good.
The others simply did not have the ability to infiltrate Phoenix Sun to investigate!
"Then Master…who do you think did this?”
Hu Weiyong said hurriedly,
"Huaixi is one, so we are more or less related to each other…"
"If Liao Yongzhong, Zhu Liangzu, and the others fail, a bunch of people will be implicated. With the temper of those in power, the more they deal with them, the angrier they will be and the more they will kill!”
"If that's the case, we'll definitely be heavily injured! When Liu Bowen, Yang Xian, and the others become powerful, how can we still raise our heads in the imperial court!”
If it weren't for the benefits, he wouldn't have the time to quarrel with Yang Xian!
This matter itself was not that scary. What was scary was that it would involve the aftermath in the future…
They were all ruthless people who founded the country. Who had clean hands?!
Therefore…he had to protect it if he could, and he had to do everything he could to protect it!
"You want to protect them?"
Li Shan Chang glanced at Hu Weiyong.
"Of course I want to…but I don't have the ability!”
Hu Weiyong replied with a bitter smile, then quickly cupped his hands and said,
"If my teacher makes a move, he will definitely be able to protect them!”
Lee Shan Chang sneered.
"Weiyong, you still don't understand.”
He shook his head and said,
"If I can't protect it, no one can.”
"Because this matter was originally exposed by the higher-ups!”
Hu Weiyong: "?!"
"Teacher! This…how can you say that?" He was shocked.
"I heard that the higher-ups have recently organized a secret team called the Embroidered Uniform Guards. The commander is General Er Hu.”
Li Shan Zhang said in a deep voice,
"This old man doesn't know the specific movements of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, but this old man knows that they have great power. Their duty is to monitor the officials and investigate everything!”
"Including your visit to my residence today, you might also be under the surveillance of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.”
Hu Weiyong: "!!!"
He jumped up and was about to close the door and windows.
"Ha…don't be so nervous. The Jinyiwei has just been established, so they can't eavesdrop on our conversation.”
Li Shan Zhang smiled and waved his hand.
Hu Weiyong nodded but still closed the window.
He wanted peace of mind…
"Why did you set up the Jinyiwei? What did the Jinyiwei do after it was established?”
Li Shan Zhang said softly,
"Why was Yang Xian promoted to Zuo Cheng of the Ministry of Central Affairs? And why did that anonymous letter appear in front of Liu Bowen's house?”
"String all these together. Once you understand, you will understand everything.”
