The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Ye Xiaohan only took a glance at them and knew what they were guessing.

"Not all the clues are wrong. My subordinates must not make any big mistakes when doing things."

What this means is that he never keeps useless people under his command. Those who work for him will never make such a big mistake.

Then he put down the teacup and said directly: "There is no mistake in the clues. I have verified them all."

Wei Bai and others seemed to have thought of some clues, but did not fully understand them. They all looked at Ye Xiaohan with eager eyes.

If the clues are correct, then what is wrong?

Ye Xiaohan glanced at his subordinates calmly, opened his thin lips, and said slowly - "The timing is wrong."

"Initially we focused on searching the capital, and then focused most of our efforts outside the city."

Du Ziheng and others were stunned, frowned, and then relaxed.

As the representative of the think tank, Wei Bo immediately said, "Your Highness means that the timing of our initial search was wrong."

"While we were concentrating our efforts on the inner part of the capital, the young master was wandering around the capital and the outer circle of the capital. When we were concentrating our efforts on the outer part of the capital, the young master might have entered the capital. First, he might have hidden somewhere in the capital, or he might have left the capital and gone to other places. In short, we might have missed the right opportunity to find the young master, so we couldn't find any trace of him."

Ye Xiaohan said coldly, "Hmm", agreeing with Wei Bai's explanation. Du Ziheng also reacted quickly, with a stunned look on his face. After thinking about it, Wei Song finally figured it out and nodded slowly.

Ye Xiaohan added: "The capital is so big, and there are forces from all over the place mixed in it."

Therefore, if someone deliberately hides in the capital, it is not easy to find that person, especially a child. If it is an adult, it is not bad, because the government will strictly require them to apply for relevant household registration certificates, but if it is a child, it is very likely that he is hidden at home.

"Follow my orders, transfer some personnel back to the capital and intensify the search."

In addition to them searching for the whereabouts of the young master, there are also many people looking for the young master, including the emperor, royal members of various countries, people in the underworld, aristocratic families, and so on.

The order to find the young master was finalized, and then another piece of news came from the East.

Ye Xiaohan once had someone investigate Shopkeeper Duan, and now he has finally unravelled the mystery and found out Shopkeeper Duan's background.

Shopkeeper Duan is also the special envoy of Soul Stealer Yuanxi in Zhongyue Branch. He is from the Eastern Empire.

His real name is unknown, and outsiders often call him "Shopkeeper Duan" or "Special Envoy Duan".

He left the East Empire when he was a child and was brought to Zhongyue by someone. He stayed in Zhongyue for more than 30 years and changed his household registration to Zhongyue's citizen.

Over the past few decades, he worked his way up from the bottom of the Soul-stealing Yuanxi organization and was soon promoted to the position of special envoy of the branch.

Soul Stealer Yuanxi is the most powerful and established assassin organization, and Zhongyue is quite powerful among the four nations, so the position of Zhongyue branch is not for everyone. The person who can take that position is definitely not an ordinary person.

Ye Xiaohan made a direct judgment on the shadow guard.

"Special Envoy Duan has a great background."

"First, he arrived at Zhongyue early and learned about the situation inside Zhongyue in detail."

"Secondly, on the surface, he finally became the special envoy after going through layers of training. In reality, it is impossible for a person without any background to obtain the position of special envoy of the organization so quickly."

Wei Bai was indeed a wise general, and he quickly understood what Ye Xiaohan meant. "In other words, the process of Special Envoy Duan's gradual rise was just to create a gimmick for others, so that the process of Special Envoy Duan's rise to a high position would not be so noticeable."

"Yeah." Ye Xiaohan nodded.

Wei Song was puzzled and blurted out: "Your Majesty, Manager Duan is from the Eastern Empire, so could the Soul Stealer Yuanxi be a killer organization founded by the Eastern Empire?"

For hundreds of years, no one knew the exact origin of the Soul-Taker Kite.

As soon as Wei Song finished asking the question, he felt a headache. He looked up and saw Wei Bai looking at him angrily, and Wei Bai had not yet retracted his beating gesture.

"Why are you hitting me on the head?"

"I think you're stupid, Wei Song."

"Wei Bai, why are you crazy?" Wei Song curled his lips. He was asking the prince a question and he really didn't know what was wrong with Wei Bai. He started beating him for no reason.

Wei Song looked at Ye Xiaohan aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, look, Wei Bai is bullying me again."

"Enough." Ye Xiaohan "fairly" gave both Wei Bai and Wei Song a cold glare.

Wei Bai bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I shouldn't have hit Wei Song now. I should have waited until the meeting was over before beating him up."

Du Ziheng chuckled softly, his shoulders twitching. When he saw Wei Song and Wei Bai glaring at him, he quickly stopped talking.

Wei Song frowned even more. What a guy! Wei Bo didn't think there was anything wrong with hitting him. Wei Bo said he shouldn't hit him now, he should hit him later!

Ye Xiaohan didn't want to pay attention to them, and tapped the table with his big hands, making a slight knocking sound. This time the sound was irregular, implying his leisurely state of mind.

"Your Highness, look at Wei Bai, he doesn't admit his fault at all." Wei Song rarely complained and often let Wei Bai, a businessman, off. After all, Wei Bai was not a general, and his martial arts skills were far inferior to his. If he fought with Wei Bai, wouldn't he be laughed at by the people below?

The main reason he complained today was that he was seriously asking the prince questions, but Wei Bo beat him for no reason, preventing him from asking for advice.

"Your Highness, you see Wei Song is still so stubborn." Wei Bai replied unwillingly. Fortunately, they didn't discuss any important topics at the moment, so he dared to make a small fuss with Wei Song.

Ye Xiaohan stopped knocking and pointed at Wei Bai.

"Tell Wei Song what you want to say."

Wei Bai nodded and said to Wei Song, "Are you a tiger? Your Highness is not a great god. Can you tell from your fingers that the Soul-stealing Yuanxi above Shopkeeper Duan was founded by someone from the Eastern Empire?"

"I'm scolding you because I don't want you to ask the prince useless questions and bother him for nothing."

Wei Song's frown relaxed, "Ah?"

After thinking for a while, I said, "I didn't think it through. I asked that question subconsciously."

He turned around and nodded to Ye Xiaohan: "Your Majesty, please forgive my slowness."

Ye Xiaohan didn't say anything or respond, which seemed to indicate that he wanted to reveal the truth.

He was not as impulsive as Wei Bo. He knew that Wei Song was a military commander with a straightforward heart and would speak directly, so he did not argue with Wei Song directly. The reason why Wei Bo dared to treat Wei Song so casually and boldly was, of course, because the two of them were close friends.

Wei Bo then apologized and said that he acted impulsively.

Ye Xiaohan's eyes darkened slightly and he asked them to return to their original positions.

After a pause, the words he was about to say shocked everyone...
