Xia Yongsheng was so happy that he didn't know which way was which.

The voice became much louder.

Xia Yongyan, who was originally thinking about how to dispel Yuan Che's doubts, couldn't help but frown after seeing his brother's carefree and unconcealed attitude.

If Xia Yongsheng was not his only biological brother, Xia Yongyan would probably have taken his life.

"Don't talk nonsense, that is the current emperor, the bloodline of the late emperor."

"Big brother?"

Xia Yongsheng blinked, very confused.

"Brother, what about what Xie Lao San just said?"

"He did it on purpose, wanting to make the Emperor guess about us, and thus cost us our lives."

"what……"

After being hit by his brother, Xia Yongsheng's happiness immediately disappeared.

I didn't expect Xie Laosan would be so vicious.

He actually wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife?

"Is he trying to use your majesty's sword to get rid of us?"

Xia Yongsheng asked.

Xia Yongyan nodded.

"So you know what to say and what not to say?"

"Yes, I see."

Xia Yongsheng doesn't have much brains, but he respects his brother as if he were his own parents.

The eldest brother is like a father, and this is truly reflected in the Xia brothers.

The only pity is that the two Xia brothers are not good when it comes to treating other people.

They are worthy of their brothers, but they owe too much to others.

There is nothing that can be done about it. In the eyes of these brothers, they are the only family.

Other things like wives and children can be discarded at will.

They won't feel guilty about it.

.........

Xie Lin came out of the Sky Prison and looked at the prison, which was still poorly guarded. He couldn't help but frown.

What is Yuan Che doing?

"Thank you brother."

Zhao Zijian's voice sounded behind him.

Xie Lin turned around and saw Zhao Zijian standing in the corridor.

He did not go forward immediately, but stood there, nodding slightly.

"Long time no see, Brother Zhao."

"Yes."

Zhao Zijian stepped forward first and said, "I didn't expect to see Brother Xie again after we parted last year. I'm really sorry that I didn't speak up for Brother Xie when the Xie family got into trouble."

Zhao Zijian was one of the few people who dared to directly express to the old emperor that the Xie family might have been wronged.

But his weight was not great, and the old emperor would never listen to him.

Moreover, if the Zhao family had not been so well-established in the capital, Zhao Zijian would probably have been beheaded last year.

Where can I find the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice now?

Xie Lin smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. It has already happened."

No matter how many people say or how much they speak, the dead Xie Jiajun will never come back to life.

What does it matter whether you say it or not?

Xie Lin also didn't want to owe Zhao Zijian a favor.

Zhao Zijian came to a place not far from Xie Lin and stopped.

Knowing that they were now enemies, he did not get too close to Xie Lin so as not to make him uncomfortable.

"Brother Xie, are you wondering why there are too few people in the Heavenly Prison today?"

"Yes."

Xie Lin did not hide it either.

Zhao Zijian came here to tell him about this matter, but Xie Lin's frank admission still shocked him.

The sons of the Xie family are indeed generous and honest, but it's a pity that they were born at the wrong time...

Zhao Zijian sighed for a while before slowly speaking, "We have received an order from above to transfer two-thirds of the personnel guarding the prison to make it easier for the Lin and Xia families' gangs to come and rescue them."

"rescue?"

Xie Lin frowned slightly: "Yuan Che is so kind?"

"I also guess that he would not be so kind. According to my speculation, he did this more often to kill someone with a borrowed knife."

Just as Xie Lin wanted to use Yuan Che's knife to get rid of the Xia and Lin families.

The emperor also wanted to use the knife in Xie Lin's hand to get rid of the Xia and Lin families.

After Xie Lin dealt with them, he would issue an imperial decree of pardon, which would demonstrate his "benevolence and righteousness" but also highlight Xie Lin's bloodiness and cruelty.

This is why the Heavenly Prison was emptied, allowing Xie Lin to come and go freely.

Xie Lin smiled.

"Yuan Che really took great pains to plan for his own good reputation."

But I'm afraid Yuan Che will be disappointed, because I didn't kill all the members of the Lin family.

As for Xia Yongyan, he didn't even move.

But then again, since Yuan Che wants to use him to get rid of Xia Yongyan and the others so much, if he doesn't take action for the time being, can Xia Yongyan live longer?

Of course, Xie Lin was definitely not reluctant to see Xia Yongyan die.

He was just worried that if Xia Yongyan died, what would happen to the poisonous insect in Chan Chan's body?

Xie Lin withdrew his thoughts and chatted with Zhao Zijian for a while about the current situation in the world.

"If you defend Chang'an to the death, there will be only one outcome. Brother Zhao, you'd better make plans as soon as possible."

The princes had already stationed their troops a hundred miles outside Chang'an City, staring at the city with a covetous eye.

As long as they move, even if Chang'an is not conquered, the situation will definitely not be any better.

Just based on what Zhao Zijian said to him tonight, it would be okay for him to remind Zhao Zijian to find a way out as soon as possible.

Zhao Zijian nodded.

"I understand what you mean, Brother Xie."

Without further ado, Xie Lin nodded his thanks and left the prison under the cover of night.

Not long after, Yuan Che also received the news that Xie Lin had only killed Lin Qian.

"what?"

Yuan Che frowned tightly: "Doesn't he know that the Xia family and the Lin family are the accomplices in the murder of the Xie family army? I have already sent the enemy to him, and he doesn't want their lives?"

This made Yuan Che very confused.

I don’t know what Xie Lin is trying to do?

Yuan Che was very angry because he was unable to use Yuan Che to get rid of the ministers and relatives who had once helped him but had now been abandoned by him.

What made him even angrier was the endless stream of war reports.

One letter after another came from different directions, east, west, south, and north, and the content of the letters was all about his uncles who had occupied various places.

They will soon reach Chang'an.

Yuan Che had only been on the throne for one day, and the coronation ceremony was still being prepared. How could he tolerate the vassal king coming to kill him?

Immediately send ministers from the court to fight.

Not only that, he also listened to the military advisor and sent spies to alienate the relations between the vassal kings.

Not to mention that this trick works quite well.

The princes, who were not very united to begin with, actually started to fight among themselves due to Yuan Che's deliberate sabotage.

This is interesting.

Yuan Che can finally take a break for now.

At this time, Xia Chan and Xie Lin also left Chang'an City and rode their horses towards the southwest.

Let’s ignore the things in Chang’an for the time being. They will first go find an expert to remove the poison from Xia Chan’s body, and then come back to find Xia Yongyan.

As soon as they left Chang'an, the prison caught fire.

The fire killed many prisoners.

Among this group of prisoners, there were other members of the Lin family and Xia Yongsheng, but Xia Yongyan was missing.

He ran away.

Taking advantage of the fire, he escaped from the prison.
