The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Zhong Ling heard this, tears welled up in his eyes, and he smiled slightly and said: "Brother, I know the good intentions of Master. I know what choice to make..."

As she finished speaking, a wave of reminiscence welled up in her eyes as she thought of her master, the owner of the Blood Cloud Tower who was considered notorious by outsiders.

Who would have thought that the leader of such a killer organization actually had a heart to save the people of the world. He was committed to finding a wise ruler to serve him!

The master initially chose one of the princes and accepted him as his apprentice, but as he grew older, he found that the other party met his requirements.

However, he is too cruel and ruthless.

Therefore, the Blood Cloud Tower in his hands had been secretly divided into two: one was an organization specializing in assassinations, and the other was an organization specializing in collecting intelligence.

The assassination organization was finally passed on to the prince, but the organization for collecting intelligence was handed over to Zhong Tian and Zhong Ling when the owner of the Blood Cloud Tower was dying!

Outsiders did not know the relationship between the two siblings and the Blood Cloud Tower. They only knew that they were the first and second on the assassin list. But they did not know that they were the direct disciples of the owner of the Blood Cloud Tower.

The owner of the Blood Cloud Tower only accepted three disciples in his life! In addition to the two of them, there was another one who was a member of the royal family chosen by the other party.

In fact, Zhong Ling went to Jiang Fan not only because Jiang Fan had the ability to save her brother, but also because of Jiang Fan's identity. At the beginning, she did not kill Jiang Fan not only because of her own principles.

Moreover, because Jiang Fan met her master's selection criteria, Zhong Ling had the idea of ​​getting close to Jiang Fan after seeing the changes in Huaining County.

The purpose is to help Jiang Fan, fulfill his master's last wish, and do something for the people of the world.

"This time, we have found some clues about Su Yuanguang's matter. Let's find a chance to tell him, maybe it will be useful to him!" Zhong Tian smiled at Zhong Ling.

Her sister probably doesn't realize yet that she has been deeply influenced by Jiang Fan without realizing it, and is now deeply trapped in it.

Zhong Tian didn't want to intervene. During the time he was living in the Prince's Mansion and interacting with everyone, he got to know Jiang Fan better.

Combined with Jiang Fan's performance in Huaining, he was actually quite satisfied with Jiang Fan. Therefore, he did not want to stop his sister's feelings.

But, if Jiang Fan is really unable to bear the heavy responsibility, or is a hypocrite, he will kill Jiang Fan himself and return his life to him!

........................

At this time, in the eldest prince's mansion, Ye Ren and several other court officials were meeting secretly with the eldest prince, the third prince, the fifth prince, and a group of court officials.

"Grandpa, my father has entrusted the matter of Su Yuanguang to Jiang Fan. Will he save Su Yuanguang? If so, then my plan to use Su Yuanguang to scare off the court officials will probably be ruined!"

The eldest prince looked at Ye Ren with a worried look on his face.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ren said with a hint of sarcasm on his face, "So what? For Jiang Fan, this matter is a matter of neither advancing nor retreating! He has no choice, and this plan will be our ruthless plan to bring him down to the ground!"

"Do you think he has the ability to overturn Su Yuanguang's case? Not to mention that the chief clerk is dead and there is no evidence, it is impossible for him to find the hundreds of thousands of dan of grain!"

As soon as Ye Ren said this, Huang Zhenren nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Your Highness, don't worry. We have acted carefully on this matter. No matter how powerful Jiang Fan is, there is no possibility of breaking the impasse! This matter is the most difficult for him! If he doesn't take this matter, those court officials who want to rely on him will definitely retreat. If he takes this matter and fails to save Su Yuanguang, it will also make those court officials feel disheartened!"

"He will even be given a useless reputation because of this. Even the people who first supported him can't be saved. Who else would dare to support him?!"

Fan Xian nodded and said, "Prime Minister Ye and Minister Huang are right. Once Su Yuanguang is convicted and executed, those court officials who want to rely on Jiang Fan will be deterred. Even if they know that it was us who did it, what can they do? The effect of this kind of deterrence is enough to be fatal!"

"Even if a prince who doesn't have the support of the court officials ascends to the throne, if any of the other princes raise their arms and the court officials accuse him of being unworthy of the position, he will be driven off the throne."

The eldest prince, the third prince and the fifth prince nodded when they heard this. A prince without much foundation and without support might be overthrown even if he sat on the throne.

Even if Jiang Fan got the support of two major military groups, there are more than two major military groups in the entire Dayan.

Moreover, most of these two major military groups are at the border. By then, it will be too far to help Jiang Fan!

Speaking of which, if the prince wants to ascend the throne, the support of court officials is also extremely important.

"Should we publicize this matter..." The eldest prince Jiang Yi looked at Ye Ren and Fan Xian.

Ye Ren and Fan Xian looked at each other and smiled, "Of course we have to publicize it. The bigger the better. When Jiang Fan fails, he will suffer even more backlash!"

The other court officials also nodded. The more widely this matter was publicized, the greater the deterrence to Jiang Fan would be.

Soon, the next day, the whole capital was spreading a rumor that tax grain from Hejianzhou was stolen and Hejian Governor Su Yuanguang was suspected of major corruption. The eighth prince Jiang Fan took on the task of investigating the case.

The moment the news came out, it spread throughout the capital in less than half a day.

Suddenly the whole capital was talking about it, but most of them were talking about Jiang Fan's investigation. As for the corruption of Governor Hejian, not many people were interested.

What the people were discussing was whether the Eighth Prince Jiang Fan had the ability to get to the bottom of the case.

Although Jiang Fan is extremely talented in all aspects, that is relative. After all, the things involved in investigating a case are somewhat complicated.

Even a person with outstanding talents may not necessarily be an expert in solving cases. The people were immediately divided into two camps as to whether Jiang Fan could successfully solve the case.

One group believes that Jiang Fan will definitely be able to investigate the case thoroughly. These people are Jiang Fan's die-hard fans and think that Jiang Fan is omnipotent. Whatever comes to his hands, he can easily solve it.

There is another group that is relatively clear-headed. They believe that the sudden and inexplicable disappearance of 500,000 dan of grain is such a mystery that even the god of solving cases may not be able to solve it.

Even though Jiang Fan is extremely talented, his ability in investigating cases may still remain to be seen.

Some people who were curious even started betting. Some bet that Jiang Fan would not be able to solve the case, while others bet that he would be able to solve the case.

The bets on both sides were one to one, and it didn't favor either side.

In addition to the Pankou incident, the people of the entire capital city had engaged in several large-scale violent incidents in order to determine whether Jiang Fan could solve the case.

Those who believe that Jiang Fan can solve the case are angry and indignant towards those who say that Jiang Fan cannot solve the case. Those who believe that Jiang Fan cannot solve the case also have their own opinions.

Neither side would give in, and the final result was that the two sides kept arguing and arguing, and then they got angry and armed conflict broke out.
