With the intervention of the Suspended Mirror Bureau and the testimony of Zhuo Dingfeng and Zhuo Qingyao, more and more evidence was found.
Xie Yu was also unable to clear his name of his crimes.
The fifteenth day after the incident.
Emperor Liang ordered Xie Yu to be imprisoned and executed in the autumn.
From then on, Xie Yu, the former pillar of the nation, was completely plunged into the abyss, and he still doesn't understand why Zhuo Dingfeng and Zhuo Qingyao betrayed him.
Everything was fine when I sent them out that day, but the next day they reported me.
To this day, he still doesn't know who the mastermind behind it all is.
"Congratulations, my lord, Marquis Xie has fallen from power!"
Inside the Prince Yi's residence, Mao Xiang handed the latest news to Xiao Jingyi.
Seeing this, Xiao Jingyi took the document and glanced at it, a slight smile on his face: "Xie Yu... take some men to contact him and ask him if he wants to live or die."
043 Purple Maiden's All-Night Invitation (Seeking flowers, ratings, and monthly tickets)
Xie Yu is an important character throughout the plot, and even his last letter becomes the key to overturning the old case of Chiyan.
Xiao Jingyi valued this aspect of him and planned to have him lead a team later.
He publicly revealed the truth about the old case of Chiyan, thereby prompting a reinvestigation of the case.
Once the truth comes out, Emperor Liang, who ordered the destruction of Lin, will certainly be held accountable.
There was only one outcome for Emperor Liang: abdication and relinquishing the throne to a more worthy successor.
Therefore, Xie Yu can be considered a rather important pawn in Xiao Jingyi's plan.
Upon hearing his order, Mao Xiang didn't hesitate and immediately bowed, accepting the command: "Yes, my lord, I will immediately send someone to secretly contact Xie Yu."
"My lord, what should we do with the people from Tianquan Manor?"
"Keep them for now. Zhuo Dingfeng and Zhuo Qingyao are only cooperating with us to sue Xie Yu because their families are in our hands. Since they are still alive, their families will naturally be kept as well."
"To prevent further trouble, and by the way, from time to time, give them their wives' keepsakes to remind them that the people are still in my hands."
As Xie Yu's sword, Tianquan Manor was doomed sooner or later, but Xiao Jingyi wouldn't discard it now; he would wait until later.
Don't blame him for being cruel.
If anyone's to blame, it's Zhuo Dingfeng and Zhuo Qingyao for choosing the wrong side from the start.
In factional strife, those who choose the wrong side deserve this fate.
Moreover, although it wasn't shown in the plot, Xiao Jingyi didn't believe that Zhuo Dingfeng was unaware of what he had been doing all these years.
It's impossible for Zhuo Dingfeng to have done things for Xie Yu without having his own selfish motives.
So it was a bit underhanded of Xiao Jingyi to have Mao Xiang capture the two men's wives, but he didn't care, as long as it was successful.
Tianquan Villa can no longer exist.
Moreover, Xiao Jingyi also intended to warn those martial arts forces that matters of the imperial court should not be concerned with by those in the martial arts world.
Ask, or die!
"Yes, I understand."
Mao Xiang nodded, inwardly agreeing with his lord's actions.
Even if Xiao Jingyi didn't say anything, Mao Xiang would wait until the two of them were completely worthless before eliminating everyone in Tianquan Manor.
"Go down."
"Yes!"
Watching Mao Xiang respectfully retreat, Xiao Jingyi stretched and yawned: "That feels good. With Xie Yu and the Duke of Qing down, all that's left are the Crown Prince and Prince Yu's other henchmen."
"Dealing with these people doesn't require too much effort, since I have evidence of their crimes. I'll just throw them out one by one and be done with it."
"Your Highness~"
Just then, a gentle voice rang out, and a person carrying a cup of tea slowly walked in: "Your Highness, I've seen you busy in your study these past few days, you must be very tired."
Her figure was graceful and alluring, adorned with mysterious and seductive purple, and her form-fitting purple dress accentuated her captivating curves.
Her purple hair, piled high, was adorned with several silver hairpins, resembling a rose blooming in the sunlight.
A butterfly wing-shaped pattern was painted under the corner of her left eye, adding an extraordinary noble air to her already captivating appearance.
Those captivating eyes also had a faint purple hue, like a pair of pearls hidden deep in the sea, dark yet dazzling.
She is none other than the sixth wife of the Prince's Mansion, Nian Zi, whose true identity is Zi Nu.
After the fall of Han, she was heartbroken and crossed the treacherous swamp to come to Daliang.
Her original intention was to clear her mind, but she later ran into Xiao Jingyi.
As the saying goes, love at first sight, lust at first sight.
Since then, she has been with Xiao Jingyi.
Later, realizing that Xiao Jingyi was in a bad situation, he recruited his old subordinates and opened the Mo Lan Xuan in the capital, where he also trained a large number of female assassins.
However, she did all of this secretly, with the aim of protecting herself and Xiao Jingyi's family.
"Nianzi, you're here."
Seeing Zi Nu approach, Xiao Jingyi chuckled, took the tea she offered, and said with satisfaction, "Of all the teas in the entire palace, I think the one you brew is the best."
As he spoke, he took a sip of tea, and the fatigue from days of planning seemed to lessen somewhat.
He then put the teacup aside, put his arm around Zi Nu's waist, and said, "You must be very tired these days, managing so many businesses for me."
This is also why Xiao Jingyi accidentally discovered that Zi Nu had a very strong talent in business, so he intended to cultivate her and let her manage most of the property of his royal palace.
It can be said that Zi Nu is now the economic manager of the Prince's mansion.
All accounts, big and small, would pass through her hands.
"I am not tired."
Zi Nu shook her head, pursed her lips, looked up at the man she had been longing for, touched his face, and said softly, "Serving Your Highness is not tiring at all."
"I've been quite busy these days and haven't had much time to spend with you. Now that things have been resolved, I'll spend more time with you."
Xiao Jingyi tapped Zi Nu's forehead and said affectionately.
"real?!"
Upon hearing this, Zi Nu's eyes lit up, and she looked at Xiao Jingyi with excitement.
"real."
Seeing him nod, Zi Nu cheered and then hugged his neck like a woman in love, saying coquettishly, "Your Highness, I want you to go shopping with me. Last time you and Sister Yue'er went shopping."
"Okay, I'll go with you."
"And another thing, I want you to accompany me and pamper me tonight."
"accompany,"
"And there's a sunrise."
"No, are you sure you can get up early? Every time you accompany me, you're exhausted."
"Oh dear, Your Highness, how could you say that? It would be very inappropriate if someone heard..."
Zi Nu blushed slightly, then stood on tiptoe and whispered in Xiao Jingyi's ear, "Then let's stay up all night and sleep after watching the sunrise."
Ouch?!
An invitation to stay up all night?
Xiao Jingyi listened with a meaningful smile on his face.
This might have been difficult before, but since the last lottery, I can now stay up all night, or even a whole day and night.
I must say, you're really brave.
However, I like it~
He patted Zi Nu's shapely buttocks and said, "Alright, it's decided then. Tonight, I, the king, will definitely pamper my beauty."
Zi Nu didn't say anything, but instead rested her head on Xiao Jingyi's chest with a happy expression on her face.
She also touched her stomach.
Oh, belly, you'd better live up to expectations this time!
After eating so much, it's about time something happens.
..
Meanwhile, inside the palace.
Emperor Liang was lying on the dragon throne, and Gao Zhan was massaging him.
He has been very unhappy these past few days.
One of them was Xie Yu, a trusted and highly regarded minister. Even if Xie Yu was involved in factional struggles, he didn't care.
However, Xie Yu's crimes were confirmed one by one, which greatly displeased Emperor Liang.
The minister I trusted was actually such a scoundrel?
It made him feel like he'd been slapped in the face, and he was quite uncomfortable.
Secondly, there was the dispute between the Crown Prince and Prince Yu.
With Xie Yu's downfall, the patrol battalion under his command naturally needed to be taken over again.
The two are currently arguing fiercely over who should take charge of the patrol battalion, and they almost came to blows today.
In the end, it was he who got angry that the two of them finally calmed down.
"Gao Zhan, I am very displeased. The Crown Prince and Prince Yu are fighting so fiercely over a mere patrol battalion."
"Do you think I don't know what they're thinking?"
"Humph!"
"They don't even know how to restrain themselves."
Emperor Liang spoke with a tone full of helplessness.
"Who do you think would be a suitable candidate for this patrol battalion?"
Upon hearing this, Gao Zhan immediately smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are putting this old servant in a difficult position. This old servant knows nothing about matters of the court."
"But in my humble opinion, this Great Liang belongs to His Majesty. You can give the patrol battalion to whomever you want."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Liang raised an eyebrow: "I must say, you old codger speak so comfortably, unlike my two sons, who are always arguing and fighting. Don't they know that what I give them is truly theirs?"

The more Emperor Liang talked, the angrier he became.
why?
It's all because of the Crown Prince and Prince Yu; they've corrupted the atmosphere of the court.
He did nothing all day but stare at the patrol battalion, constantly embroiled in factional strife, which he found laughable.
"Gao Zhan, besides those two, who else in the patrol battalion do you think would be suitable?"
Emperor Liang squinted, enjoying the massage.
"Your Majesty, the patrol battalion is responsible for protecting the security of the capital. If you feel that the Crown Prince and Prince Yu are not suitable, you can always look for other princes or their people."
Gao Zhan replied once and then said nothing more.
His words were essentially meaningless.
If not the Crown Prince and Prince Yu, then give it to someone else.
But when Emperor Liang heard this, he thought of one person: Prince Jing!
"Yes, how could I have forgotten Jingyan?"
Emperor Liang was actually quite wary of his son, Xiao Jingyan, because he had a good relationship with the Lin family and Lin Shu back then, and it was after that that the rift between father and son gradually deepened.
However, his target was not Xiao Jingyan, but Gao Shun, the person Xiao Jingyan had reported his achievements to a few days ago.
