Chapter 975: Catch the Big Fish
"Why, you don't understand?"

Outside the Cabinet Office, after Yue Heng helped Yan Yidonggang into the carriage, he immediately heard the Prime Minister ask this.

Yue Heng gave a bitter smile.

"Teacher, you must have a reason for doing this."

He lowered his head and said seriously: "But I am indeed a dull student. I hope the teacher can help me solve my doubts."

In fact, he and Yan Yidong were not teacher and student in name. He did not enter the officialdom through the imperial examination, nor was he a student of Yan Yidong. But after entering the cabinet, Yan Yidong taught him a lot. The two of them had already been teacher and student for a long time, so privately, they both called each other teacher and student.

"You are much calmer than before."

Yan Yidong smiled and said, "But I have lost a lot of my early vigor... Fortunately, I am doing pretty well today."

Yue Heng scratched his head.

"Those assassins are small fry."

Yan Yidong changed the subject and immediately got down to business: "I know what you are thinking... but even if Li Jingzhe can break their minds and get something out of them, so what?"

"Could it be that even if they give out the mastermind behind it, it will be useless?" Yue Heng was slightly stunned.

"If they say on the spot that they are from Xuanmeng, what will you say?" Yan Yidonggang asked slowly.

Yue Heng was not surprised: "This is not surprising, but since it is a lie, there must be a flaw. I believe that with Lord Li's ability, he will be able to get the truth."

"Haha, who knows whether it's true or not?"

Yan Yidong laughed and said, "You said they are not from the Xuanmeng, so they are not? If they say they are from the Yuan family or the Lan family, they can deny it."

Yue Heng was startled again, then he scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "It seems... that's the truth."

"With the capabilities of Mingjian Pavilion, it will not be difficult to find out the origins of these people and the people behind them."

Yan Yidong continued: "But you want to overwhelm them in the cabinet meeting hall... It's impossible."

Yue Heng lowered his head and nodded slightly.

At that time, he was assassinated and saw a group of assassins being captured. He was so hot-blooded that he thought of this method hastily. Naturally, he thought it was flawless, but when Yan Yidonggang said this, he understood.

It is simply impossible to rely on a few minions to directly point the spearhead at the aristocratic family in those circumstances.

"Doing so will only lead to a stronger backlash."

Yue Heng whispered: "The students thought it was too simple."

"The people from Xuanmeng were found by me."

Yan Yidong closed his eyes and said softly.

Yue Heng’s eyes widened instantly.

"Fu Qingzhou has returned, the Northern Barbarians have been pacified, and Marshal Hong has begun to chase after the Xishuo Army. There is no way the aristocratic family can sit still. If I don't invite them here, am I going to watch you die? After you die, I will be buried with you?"

Yan Yidong said calmly: "Yuan Ye sealed the city, naturally to find out the people from Xuanmeng."

"Not only that……"

He suddenly smiled and said, "Yue Heng, what do you think will happen to those assassins you caught?"

"Either he was silenced or he was rescued." Yue Heng said immediately.

"yes……"

Yan Yidong did not open his eyes, but asked again: "But, they are imprisoned in the Hell, right?"

"right……"

After Yue Heng responded with one word, he suddenly realized something and his eyes lit up: "Anyone who can break into the Nether Prison is definitely not an ordinary person!"

"That's right." Yan Yidong opened his eyes and looked at him, smiling with satisfaction: "What Yuan Ye needs to do is to drive out the people from Xuanmeng while robbing the prison, and put the blame on Xuanmeng. In this way, he can make up for what he failed to do today."

"Those who are capable of attacking the Xuan League and robbing the Nether Prison are not mediocre people, but must be well-known figures. Once such people are caught, their identities and origins will be clearly revealed, and no one can shirk their responsibility!"

"Yue Heng, when it comes to doing something, either don't do it at all, or do it right away!" "If you want to fish, fish for big fish!"

……

"master."

In the carriage, Gu Jinchen lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister Yan must have a trick up his sleeve... Do we really have to send people to the Hell?"

"You don't blame me?"

Yuan Ye did not answer, but instead asked an irrelevant question.

Gu Jinchen was stunned: "Why do you blame me?"

"I sent people to assassinate you without even telling you." Yuan Ye said with a smile.

Gu Jinchen didn't pause for a second and immediately smiled: "Master, you are joking. I am where I am today because of your support. So what if you want to kill me? What's more, you didn't tell me because you were afraid that I wouldn't act well and would reveal the secret."

"hehe."

Yuan Ye grinned: "You are really a good dog. Lan Xiyu is a child who has picked a rough diamond."

Gu Jinchen didn't show any dissatisfaction on his face, instead he smiled even more flatteringly: "Thank you for the compliment, Master."

"Okay, let's get down to business."

Yuan Ye quickly put away his smile: "We were indeed careless this time. The one who protected Yue Heng and the others must be Xuanmeng... Although Xuanmeng leader Baihe Zhenren is a big shot, she doesn't have such a keen sense of smell. Most likely, it was that old man Yan Yidong who invited her here."

"But... this is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

He narrowed his eyes and said quietly, "Master Baihe, do you dare to take action in the capital?"

Gu Jinchen was a little puzzled: "She doesn't dare?"

"She didn't dare."

Yuan Ye smiled coldly and said, "Even if Ming Jian Pavilion is on the side of Xuanmeng right now, as long as she takes action... it may not be possible."

Gu Jinchen was still puzzled: "How could it be? Could it be..."

As soon as this question was raised, he suddenly realized it!
"Ning Wuwang!"

His pupils shrank and he blurted out: "It's Ning Wuwang!"

"good."

Yuan Ye nodded with satisfaction: "If Bai He doesn't take action, Young Master Ning won't take action; but if she shows up and fights with Young Master Ning, Ning Baimei might show up."

"You young people may not know that Ning Baimei dotes on his son to an unbelievable degree, hahaha..."

Gu Jinchen heard this and did not ask any further questions. He just asked carefully, "So what you mean is that Master Baihe doesn't dare to do it, but Master Ning can do it?"

"Haha, very clever."

Yuan Ye smiled and said, "However, I am looking forward to her taking action. If you want to fish, you have to fish for big fish! How could I not know what Yan Yidong is thinking? He just wants to trick out the well-known masters on our side, and after they are exposed, he will use their identities to attack us..."

"But in this world, strength is everything!"

"As long as we kill all those who show up, then we will have the final say. Whatever we say will be the truth."

He narrowed his eyes, stroked his beard, and said confidently: "We have Master Ning, the Xuanxing, and they have Xuanxing but dare not use it. It is clear at a glance who is stronger and who is weaker!"

"Master, you are indeed far-sighted and thoughtful!"

Gu Jinchen sincerely praised: "So, shall we start today?"

"No hurries?"

Yuan Ye sneered: "Leave them alone. Those trash in the Nether Prison... Although they are trash, they are also cultivated by us with our energy. They can't provide anything in a short period of time."
