At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

Capital city, Xu Mansion.

"Father, Prince Mu and Prince Zhao, who were captured yesterday, have confessed everything."

Xu Miao walked into the study with a happy face and reported to his father.

"Well, immediately hand over the two people's interrogation statements to the palace, and ask His Majesty to personally issue an order to make a decision."

In the study, Xu Jinsong nodded.

However, his eyes were not looking at Xu Miao, but he was concentrating on painting.

"Father is indeed the wisest."

Xu Miao showed some emotion on his face.

"That old fellow Xiao Tiannan often opposed us. Now that he has completely fallen, we have one less opponent in the capital."

At this moment, Xu Miao's heart was filled with admiration for his father.

If Xu Jinsong had not asked him to wait yesterday, how could they have defeated the two powerful princes in the capital at once.

Unexpectedly, in the face of Xu Miao's compliment, Xu Jinsong's calm face revealed a hint of disdain.

"Xiao Tiannan and Mu Tianxin are just two useless pieces of trash. If I wanted to, they would have been killed twenty years ago."

Xu Jinsong snorted coldly, then raised his head and shifted his gaze from the desk to Xu Miao.

Hearing this, Xu Miao immediately showed an unnatural look on his face, not knowing what his father wanted to say.

"Xu Miao, feel the head on your neck to see if it's still there."

Xu Jinsong continued to speak, and his tone gradually became stern.

Xu Miao was stunned at first, not understanding why his father asked such a question.

But he did it anyway, and touched his neck with his right hand.

"Father, what does this mean?"

Xu Miao asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Humph."

"You colluded with ministers in the court and murdered officials from other places, causing the deaths of thousands of people. Touch your neck and see if you can bear this crime."

Finally, Xu Jinsong's gaze became completely sharp and he looked directly at Xu Miao.

Xu Miao was suddenly shocked.

"Father!"

There was a thud and Xu Miao fell to his knees on the ground.

"If I hadn't stopped them yesterday, I'm afraid the troops that showed up at Fenglai Inn wouldn't just be King Zhao and King Mu."

"How dare you do such a thing behind His Majesty and me!"

Xu Jinsong's voice became increasingly stern, and a very sharp light was reflected in his old eyes.

This was the first time he treated Xu Miao so harshly.

"Father, my son is wrong!"

Xu Miao didn't intend to defend himself at all. His father was the Prime Minister of the current cabinet. Since he said such a thing, he must know the whole story.

"Wrong? What's wrong?"

Xu Jinsong's eyes were still sharp.

"My son shouldn't have attacked Xia Yun!"

Xu Miao responded truthfully.

However, Xu Jinsong shook his head on the spot.

"Your biggest mistake was that you shouldn't have kept it a secret from me! And you shouldn't have done it behind His Majesty's back!"

"My Xu family has stood firm in the imperial court for decades, relying on our absolute loyalty to Your Majesty!"

"His Majesty was in that inn yesterday. Are you planning to kill him too?"

Xu Jinsong kept scolding people, without any regard for Xu Miao's face as usual.

"What great things can be achieved by colluding with a bunch of filthy cat lords?"

"Xia Yun was appointed by His Majesty himself as the prefect of Hangzhou. Can't you see that?"

"You actually dared to arrange hundreds of assassins to attack in Zhili. Look for yourself, Zhao Gongming has almost traced it back to me!"

Xu Jinsong shouted loudly and threw the memorial on the table directly to the ground.

Xu Miao, who was kneeling, took the memorial and looked at it, and was immediately shocked.

The memorial contained various pieces of information sent back by spies. Zhao Gongming's actions were getting more and more aggressive, and he had even traced the case back to the Xu family.

"I told you a long time ago that Zhao Gongming is a venomous snake that is not easy to mess with. You took action right under his nose. Do you really think he is a fool?"

Xu Jinsong looked at his disappointing son and suddenly sighed.

"Father, my son is wrong!"

Xu Miao admitted his mistake again, with a look of deep regret on his face.

"Fortunately, you didn't do anything more extreme yesterday, and His Majesty didn't suffer any harm."

"Your Majesty is obviously happier than us about capturing King Zhao and King Mu and getting rid of these two guys."

The anger on Xu Jinsong's face gradually subsided.

"Get up."

"Thank you father."

The two sang together.

"From now on, without my order, you are not allowed to attack Xia Yun again."

"have you understood?"

Xu Jinsong's gentle gaze revealed a stern warning.

"Don't worry, father. I understand."

Xu Miao nodded repeatedly

Hearing this, Xu Jinsong slowly sat down on the armchair and just looked at the scenery outside the window.

In fact, even he, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, was shocked by what happened last night.

Xia Yun actually massacred thousands of elite troops with only a hundred guards!

Such terrifying combat power is unique in the entire history of the Daliang Dynasty.

What matters to him most is the relationship between Xia Yun and His Majesty!

Although Her Majesty is the current emperor, she is, after all, just a young woman in her early twenties.

If there is really some unclear relationship between Your Majesty and Xia Yun, no matter how great his Xu family's achievements are, I'm afraid they will inevitably fall apart from Your Majesty.

That was the result he least wanted to see.

After all, deep in his heart, Xu Jinsong never had any thoughts of rebellion from beginning to end.

"Go ahead and pick out some good gifts and send them to Xia Yun, even if it's just for show."

Xu Jinsong waved his hand. At this moment, he looked as if he had aged by dozens of years.

"Yes, father."

Xu Miao carefully observed his father's every move and responded respectfully.

……

Half a day later, news of a great battle last night spread throughout the capital city like a violent storm.

By afternoon.

Almost everyone in the city already knew that last night two imperial princes led their troops to besiege Zhejiang Governor Xia Yun at Fenglai Inn.

Not only that, each of Xia Yun's personal guards is like a god of war, and each of them can defeat a hundred enemies alone.

In the end, after fighting all night, Xia Yun led hundreds of guards and slaughtered thousands of people!

And as word of mouth spread among countless people, things became more and more magical.

Some people said that Xia Yun possessed powerful martial arts and held a long spear, going in and out of the enemy army seven times.

Some also say that Xia Yun is surrounded by many experts, all of whom are extremely powerful martial arts masters.

There are too many to mention.

"Listen, they are all talking about you."

On the way from Fenglai Inn to the Ninth Prince's Mansion, Xia Yun and his group were walking on the street, and Xu Wan'er said with a smile.

"Let them talk."

Xia Yun smiled slightly.

Fenglai Inn was crowded with people and it was not a place to live for a long time. The place they were heading to now was a mansion in the capital that Xiao Yan had given him!
