This is why Xie Yuzhen wanted to recruit Dian Wei; otherwise, he might have taken action directly against someone else.
But Dian Wei still refused him ruthlessly: "Hurry up, is there anything else? I'm waiting to go back and guard the gate for the prince."
"Whoosh!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding area erupted in an uproar.
Those who were nearby heard Xie Yu's words just now.
Become a great general and enjoy wealth and honor.
They all want it!
Unfortunately, they were not strong enough and could only look on with envy at Dian Wei.
But Dian Wei not only refused these offers, but now he's even declaring that he'll go back to guard the gate for Xiao Jingyi.
Yes, following Prince Yi is a good idea.
But wouldn't it be better for him to be the general himself?
Everyone looked at Dian Wei as if he were a fool, while Xie Yu's face grew even more gloomy, because he felt an unprecedented humiliation.
This made his face turn as black as charcoal.
"How dare you speak to Lord Xie like that!"
At this moment, one of Xie Yu's guards spoke up indignantly.
"What, you're not convinced? Want to fight me?" Dian Wei looked at the guard who stepped forward with disdain.
He could take down such a small guy with a single punch.
Noticing his gaze, the guard was immediately terrified and took several steps back.
Seeing this, Dian Wei did not look away as before, and showed the token again: "It seems that you are their leader. Now look carefully, this is the Prince's token. These people are insubordinate and disrespectful to the Prince and Princess."
"Therefore, the prince ordered them to be killed as a warning to others. If you are not satisfied, you can go and find the prince."
"Is there anything else?"
"No," Xie Yu said in a deep voice, his face grim.
"Okay, if there's nothing there, then I'll be going."
With that, Dian Wei pushed his way through the patrol battalions and swaggered away.
"My lord, are we really going to let this man go?"
At this moment, Zhuo Dingfeng asked Xie Yu in a low voice.
Xie Yu glared angrily at Dian Wei's retreating figure: "If you were to make a move, how confident would you be?"
"If all of us take action, a little trickery will be enough to kill him," Zhuo Dingfeng whispered.
Seeing this, Xie Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Kill him."
"Yes, my lord."
Zhuo Dingfeng immediately waved for the people from Tianquan Manor to follow, and they disappeared into the crowd.
..
Meanwhile, after returning to the palace, Yaoyue and Xiao Jingyi spent some more time together before she left.
Because Mao Xiang has arrived.
Now all the women in the Prince's Mansion know that Mao Xiang is Xiao Jingyi's new subordinate and does many things for him.
So when she saw him coming, Yaoyue didn't bother Xiao Jingyi anymore and tactfully withdrew.
"Speak, what is it?"
After Yaoyue's figure disappeared, Xiao Jingyi looked at Mao Xiang and said.
"My lord, as you instructed, we have taken control of all the people from Tianquan Manor. These are the jade pendants on their bodies, and some of them are relatives of Zhuo Dingfeng."
"it is good."
After glancing at the items Mao Xiang had brought back, Xiao Jingyi nodded in satisfaction: "What about the forces that are on good terms with Tianquan Manor?"
"The investigation has been completed, including that of Madam Zhuo Dingfeng's family and other brothers-in-law. Several commanders have already led their men to attack them."
"Ah."
Xiao Jingyi nodded. He was becoming more and more adept at using the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He nodded and said, "Don't leave any of these people alive."
Since we've started, we must nip it in the bud.
Since the feud has already begun, Xiao Jingyi won't hold back and will give them a family bucket of instant noodles.
"Yes, I will pass on the message immediately."
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...
Just then, Dian Wei strode back, carrying one leg in each hand, as if dragging two dead dogs, and came to Xiao Jingyi.
"Your Highness, what you told me to say really worked! That scoundrel actually sent people to kill me."
"These are the two leaders. Please take a look, Your Highness."
Dian Wei pointed to the two people who had collapsed on the ground; they were Zhuo Dingfeng and Zhuo Qingyao.
The two were originally ordered to kill Dian Wei, but they were killed by Dian Wei instead, and only the two of them survived in the end.
"Oh?"
Xiao Jingyi glanced at the two men, raising an eyebrow slightly: "You idiot, you didn't kill them, did you?"
"Your Highness, I just knocked them unconscious. You said these two shouldn't be killed, how could I dare to kill them?"
Dian Wei scratched his head and said.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi shook his head and chuckled, then looked at Mao Xiang: "These two are yours. Someone will assist you later. No matter what methods you use, I need them to confess Xie Yu's crimes tomorrow."
"Then take the evidence to the yamen to accuse Xie Yu."
"Yes, my lord, I will not fail you!"
As he spoke, Mao Xiang looked at Zhuo Dingfeng and Zhuo Qingyao with a gloomy expression.
"Once you enter the gates of my Embroidered Uniform Guard, even the hardest steel will melt."
041 The wind is rising, so the Xie family will go bankrupt! (Seeking flowers, ratings, and monthly tickets)
Zhuo Dingfeng and Zhuo Qingyao were eventually dragged away by Mao Xiang, and Xiao Jingyi didn't even bother to look at them.
Dian Wei was rewarded, and then he scurried out of the palace.
Their target was the sesame seed cake shop.
"Looks like this guy's interested."
Watching Dian Wei's departing figure, Xiao Jingyi shook his head and chuckled, "Eating the pancakes was an excuse; he really wanted to woo the proprietress."
He saw right through Dian Wei's thoughts.
Since the day the two went out together, Dian Wei has been eating a lot of sesame cakes these days.
Does he really like that sesame seed cake?
Naturally not.
Instead, he had his eye on the shop owner.
However, Xiao Jingyi also sent people to investigate the woman. She had a clean background and was not sent by anyone, so he did not stop her.
He then picked up a brush and wrote a letter, which he asked Hou Ji to deliver to Huang Zhong.
These days, Huang Zhong has secretly returned to the capital, awaiting his summons.
However, with so many people around these days, he has been communicating with Huang Zhong solely through letters.
...
Meanwhile, in the dungeon of Prince Yi's mansion.
Mao Xiang sprayed a bucket of cold water at Zhuo Dingfeng and Zhuo Qingyao respectively.
"Swish!" "Swish!"
The two were startled awake by the cold water. Just as they were about to get up, they found themselves bound hand and foot, their acupoints sealed, unable to use any internal energy.
"Who...who are you!?"
Zhuo Dingfeng was astonished, then turned his gaze to Mao Xiang, who was wearing a ferocious mask.
“Master Zhuo, you have no right to ask questions.”
Without wasting words, Mao Xiang stretched out his hand, which was covered in black leather gloves, and pinched Zhuo Dingfeng's chin. Then he took out a jade pendant and placed it in front of him.
"You should be very familiar with this jade pendant, right?"
"This is...."
Zhuo Dingfeng stared intently, his pupils dilated, and his body trembled violently: "Second brother! It's second brother's! What have you done to Dingyu!"
"Don't rush, Master Zhuo, this is just the appetizer."
Mao Xiang clapped his hands, and a member of the Imperial Guard entered the dungeon, dumping a large pile of tokens on the ground.
Zhuo Dingfeng was very familiar with these things; in fact, many of them were things he had given away before.
Now it has fallen into Mao Xiang's hands; how could he not know what this means?
The people of Tianquan Manor have all fallen into the hands of the person in front of us!
"Who...who exactly are you? I clearly remember going to kill that man, and then he killed me instead. Could it be...could it be that you are Prince Yi's men?!"
At this moment, Zhuo Dingfeng thought of a terrible possibility, and even his breathing became rapid.
He knew that if it was indeed Prince Yi's men who captured him, it would be truly terrifying.
A charming prince who has been overlooked by everyone now has such powerful subordinates.
That means he was faking it all to mislead everyone, and that he had a very powerful organization under his control.
Just thinking about it sent a chill down Zhuo Dingfeng's spine.
"Why are you so disobedient? I've already told you you have no right to ask questions."
Then Mao Xiang said in a sinister tone, "Listen carefully to what I'm about to say. From now on, every half hour, we will kill one of your family members until you confess what you've done for Xie Yu all these years."
“You can refuse, but I can kill your entire family, including your wife, son, and pregnant daughter-in-law.”
"you!"
"No no no!"
Zhuo Dingfeng wanted to say something more, but Mao Xiang covered his mouth. Then he checked the time and said, "Start the timer now."
Meanwhile, outside the dungeon.
A woman stood there quietly; she was Gong Yu, the top courtesan of Miaoyinfang.
She was beautiful, skilled in music, and highly proficient in martial arts.
Her father, Xiangsi, was the assassin responsible for killing the princess during her childbirth.
Over the years, she harbored deep hatred for Xie Yu and had always wanted revenge. This time, Xiao Jingyi borrowed her to explain the truth of what happened back then to Zhuo Dingfeng and Zhuo Qingyao.
Of course, it wasn't just her; there was also a middle-aged man beside her, who was one of the assassins who participated back then.
To avoid being silenced, she faked her death and was brought back by Xiao Jingyi a few days ago.
He possesses the handwritten letter from Xie Yu ordering his assassination years ago.
I don't know how much time had passed, but the night had grown deep.
Mao Xiang walked out of the cell and glanced at Gong Yu: "Miss, please."
"Okay." Gong Yu bowed and then walked towards the prison cell.
.....
"Humph!"
"What a fine Xie Yu! What a fine Xie Yu!"
