"He actually helped the Crown Prince, openly seeking out beauties on the street, and his subordinates even set their sights on Jing Yi."
"Who gave him the guts! Who gave him the guts?!"
In the palace, Emperor Liang was trembling with anger as he looked at the news reported by Xia Dong.
Although he had previously considered following Xiao Jingyi's example and searching for beauties among the common people, he gave up when he found nothing.
But to everyone's surprise, the Crown Prince and Xie Yu hadn't given up yet. What's even more infuriating is that they publicly tried to steal the Prince's wife.
"And this Crown Prince, he has utterly disappointed me!"
"You keep saying that Jing Yi is a womanizer and a dissolute playboy, but how is he any better than Jing Yi?"
"He's not even as good as Jing Yi! How can I entrust the Great Liang to such a crown prince!"
Seeing Emperor Liang's furious expression, everyone in the hall lowered their heads and dared not even breathe, for fear of being implicated.
Only Eunuch Gao Zhan, carrying tea, entered and said, "Your Majesty, getting angry is bad for your health. Please have some tea."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Liang glanced at Gao Zhan and scoffed.
He gave a soft hum, but still took the tea and took a sip. Then he frowned slightly and said, "Gao Zhan, why is the tea so bitter?"
"Your Majesty, this is herbal tea. You instructed me to drink some herbal tea these days to reduce internal heat," Gao Zhan replied with an embarrassed smile.
"Pah, pah, pah! Next time, please change it to a different kind of tea for me. This tea is too bitter."
Only then did Emperor Liang realize that he had indeed said that. He glanced at the bitter herbal tea and immediately backed down.
"Ugh."
Emperor Liang then sighed and waved his hand, saying, "You may all leave."
"Gao Zhan, you stay here and give me a shoulder massage."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Gao Zhan obediently put down the teacup, then went behind Emperor Liang and massaged him.
At this moment, Emperor Liang closed his eyes and said calmly, "Gao Zhan, do you think I was too hasty in making Jingxuan the crown prince? Now it seems that Jingxuan is simply not up to the task."
His Majesty has decided to depose him!
Upon hearing this, Gao Zhan's expression changed slightly, but he quickly recovered: "Your Majesty, the princes are still young, and you are in your prime. It is alright for them to make some mistakes, after all, the Great Liang has you."
"Heh, you old codger, you're just trying to flatter me in a roundabout way."
Upon hearing Gao Zhan's words, Emperor Liang chuckled, feeling quite pleased.
Then he said, "Alright, I will remember Jingxuan's mistake this time. As for his abilities, I will observe him carefully. If he is really not up to the task, then I will appoint another crown prince."
Upon hearing this, Gao Zhan knew that the emperor was determined to depose him, so he stopped talking and focused on massaging his shoulders.
The next day, early in the morning.
Xiao Jingyi stood with his hands behind his back in the courtyard.
"My lord, Zhuo Dingfeng and Zhuo Qingyao have taken the written incriminating evidence to the Jingzhao government office."
"Whoo~"
Just then, a gentle breeze blew, stirring Xiao Jingyi's sleeves.
He squinted slightly, a faint smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to feel the breeze: "The wind's picking up; well, the Xie family might go bankrupt then."

"Mao Xiang, keep a close watch on the Xie residence and the Eastern Palace."
"I need to know as soon as possible when they met and what they discussed."
"And how is Qin Banruo being arranged with Prince Yu?"
Upon hearing this, Mao Xiang was startled and bowed, saying, "I have already ordered people to keep an eye on the Xie residence and the Eastern Palace 24 hours a day. Their movements will be reported to my lord immediately."
"As for Qin Banruo, she has already returned to Prince Yu's side as instructed by you, acting as our spy."
At this point, Mao Xiang asked, somewhat puzzled, "My lord, there is something I don't understand."
"You said."
Xiao Jingyi said calmly, his hands behind his back.
"Why did you still let Qin Banruo go back? He knows about your situation, and if he goes back and talks nonsense, there will probably be endless trouble."
This was what Mao Xiang was worried about regarding Qin Banruo. Looking at it from another angle, he felt that this woman either had to die or he should keep her by his side.
"I am just as worried as you are, but how could Qin Banruo possibly escape my grasp?"
Xiao Jingyi chuckled softly, "She has taken my poison and needs me to provide her with the antidote every month."
"In addition, I gave her a reason that she could never refuse in her entire life."
"Restore the reputation of the Hua ethnic group."
Xiao Jingyi said confidently.
As someone who had been through it all, he certainly knew the tragic history of the Hua tribe, how they were used by the emperor and then exterminated by him.
His efforts to clear the name of the Hua tribe were simply to help them exonerate themselves.
This undoubtedly moved Qin Banruo and made her vow to be loyal to Xiao Jingyi.
This is why Xiao Jingyi was able to let her go back so confidently.
He didn't believe that Prince Yu would dare to make such a guarantee.
But Prince Yu dared not, while Xiao Jingyi did.
This is the difference.
"My lord is wise!"
Mao Xiang was taken aback, then immediately bowed and said.
"Stop flattering me. Go and send men to keep an eye on things. I'll be waiting for your news."
"Yes!"
Mao Xiang then withdrew, while Xiao Jingyi confidently looked up at the sky: "With the Xie family down, we should now worry about how to get Gao Shun to take over the patrol battalion."
Meanwhile, outside the Jingzhao Prefecture.
Zhuo Dingfeng and Zhuo Qingyao exchanged a glance.
"My child, it's all my fault for dragging you down with me."
Zhuo Dingfeng looked at Zhuo Qingyao with some guilt.
Last night, Mao Xiang told him the whole truth, and Zhuo Dingfeng finally realized that he had been deceived by Xie Yu all along and was now suffering greatly as a result.
He felt hatred, anger, and regret for his greed.
“Father, I don’t blame you, but this time when I go in, my life is uncertain, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to see you off in your final moments.”
Zhuo Qingyao said sadly.
Upon hearing this, Zhuo Dingfeng's expression also turned somewhat dejected.
If he could, he wouldn't want to enter the Jingzhao Prefecture either, but his entire family's lives were in Mao Xiang's hands. He knew that if he didn't do it, not only would he die, but his whole family would die too.
Left with no other choice, he had to agree.
"Oh, let's go."
"it is good!"
Soon the father and son arrived in front of the yamen, and Zhuo Qingyao took the drumsticks and began to beat the drum vigorously.
In an instant, it attracted the attention of everyone inside and outside the government office.
.
In the Su residence.
"Sect Master, Zhuo Dingfeng and Zhuo Qingyao have already entered the Jingzhao Prefecture with the evidence of their crimes."
Li Gang walked up to Mei Changsu and knelt down.
Upon hearing this, Mei Changsu was taken aback, but then laughed and said, "Hehe, I didn't expect Jing Yi to be so ruthless. Tianquan Manor has helped Xie Yu do a lot of dirty things over the years."
"If this gets out, Xie Yu will definitely die."
"Yes, now that Xie Yu has fallen, the Crown Prince and Prince Yu are back to square one."
"The same starting point?"
Mei Changsu shook his head and picked up the plaque of the Minister of Revenue: "Have you forgotten the female corpse we discovered yesterday?"
While Xiao Jingyi was making his plans, Mei Changsu was also busy these days.
Since Xiao Jingyi wants to deal with Xie Yu, then he will deal with the Ministry of Revenue.
Yesterday, he, along with Yan Yujin and Xiao Jingrui, uncovered the case of the corpse hidden in Lanyuan, and now a media storm is slowly brewing.
I'm afraid that once Xie Yu's case is over, his case will follow immediately.
"Understood."
When Li Gang saw the sign, he immediately realized what it meant.
"By the way, the Xie Yu case will definitely cause a sensation in the capital these days. Tell those who are publicizing the Lanyuan case to hold off for now. It's not too late to make a move after the Xie Yu case is over."
Upon hearing this, Li Gang nodded: "Yes!"
Li Gang then got up and left, leaving Mei Changsu alone in the room.
"Hehe, Jingyi, it's really nice and relaxing to work with you."
"I originally thought it would take several years, but now it seems that my wish can be fulfilled in less than a year."
For the first time, Mei Changsu felt that planning the entire capital's court was not a difficult task, and at the same time, he admired Xiao Jingyi even more.
...
That morning, the news spread throughout the capital that the owner of the powerful Tianquan Manor, along with his son, had filed a lawsuit against Xie Yu for his crimes.
Upon learning the news, the Suspended Mirror Bureau immediately reported it to Emperor Liang.
Emperor Liang initially couldn't believe it, but when he received the list of crimes, he was so shocked that he immediately collapsed into his chair.
"This...this...."
"Xie Yu, how could he be so audacious?"
Looking at the bloody evidence of his crimes, Emperor Liang gasped for breath, his gaze falling on Zhuo Dingfeng and Zhuo Qingyao kneeling below the stage.
"Speak, you all speak!"
"Are these things real? None of them are real!"
"Aren't you two family friends with the Xie family? How did things come to this?"
Emperor Liang was furious; at that moment, he was like an awakened lion, ready to bite.
"Your Majesty, my Tianquan Manor and the Xie family have been friends for generations. However, many years ago, when my wife was giving birth, the child was killed by an assassin called by Xie Yu. In recent years, I have been deceived by him."
"So I was so angry that I wanted to die with him!"
Zhuo Dingfeng said with a resentful look. He wasn't lying; he truly hated Xie Yu now.
Seeing this, Emperor Liang sat on the throne with a cold face. Although he did not say anything, everyone knew that he was in a bad mood.
"Take him away."
"Summer and Winter".
"The minister is here."
"I order you to thoroughly investigate the Xie Yu case and produce results within half a month, without any mistakes!"
"Yes!"
Xia Dong immediately accepted the order and then led Zhuo Dingfeng and Zhuo Qingyao away.
