At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be
Chapter 97 The storm is coming!
"This is an inn. You do your thing and I'll eat mine." The empress replied to Xia Yun suddenly.
The current situation has exceeded her expectations, and she really wants to see what Xia Yun will do next.
Normally speaking, no normal person would cut off a prince's hand directly like Xia Yun did.
What's more, the father of this prince is the Prince of Zhao, who controls 20,000 elite cavalry of the imperial court.
But Xia Yun did just that.
Based on her understanding of Xia Yun, this bastard's ruthlessness was only one aspect of his character.
On the other hand, Xia Yun's scheming is extremely vicious, as can be seen from the fact that he continues to exploit those wealthy businessmen in Dai County.
There is a high probability that Xia Yun at the moment is hiding some kind of calculation!
"Whatever you want." Xia Yun shrugged with a smile.
He was not too worried about Xiao Ling'er's safety. After all, he was not blind.
When the conflict broke out with Xiao Chaogui and his group just now, he found that many people in the crowd quietly stood in front of Xiao Ling'er.
It was obvious that those people were protecting Xiao Ling'er's safety.
This also completely fits Xia Yun's guess about Xiao Ling'er's identity.
As a member of the royal family and a good-looking young woman, it is impossible for her to walk around in the world without being protected.
As time slowly passed, the turmoil that occurred in Fenglai Inn finally spread throughout the capital.
The Ninth Prince's Palace, inside a courtyard.
Xiao Yan, who was drinking and admiring the moon with his family, received a hurried report from his servant.
"Sir, something happened at Fenglai Inn!"
In just a few dozen breaths, the servant informed Xiao Yan of the whole story.
Even though Xiao Yan was always optimistic and cheerful, he couldn't help but look horrified.
"Is the news true?"
Xiao Yan looked at the servant with a frown on his face.
"In reply to your Highness, what I said is absolutely true. Lord Xia did have the right hand of Xiao Chaogui, the Prince of Dongcheng County, chopped off in public."
"I'm afraid that by now, the news has already reached Prince Zhao's mansion."
The servant wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked extremely nervous.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's frightened face immediately gave way to a bitter smile.
"It's only been half a day, and Xia Yun has dared to cause such a disaster. The King of Zhao is usually the most protective of his people, so this matter will definitely not end well."
Xiao Yan began to ponder in his heart.
"But the incident was caused by Xiao Chaogui after all. From my observation of Xia Yun, he doesn't seem to be a rash and reckless person. He might have other intentions."
After a while, Xiao Yan still couldn't figure it out, so he decided not to waste any more time.
"Pass on my military order. Quickly dispatch a team of imperial guards to accompany me to Fenglai Inn!"
Xiao Yan stood up, the look of surprise and bitter smile disappeared from his face, replaced by a look of decisiveness and determination.
No matter what Xia Yun wants to do, he has to save Xia Yun's life first.
"Come to think of it, it's been a while since I last saw that old dog, King Zhao!"
Xiao Yan looked in one direction of the capital city and uttered words that only he could hear.
Not long after, Xiao Yan left the Ninth Prince's Palace, accompanied by a large group of black-armored cavalry!
Prince Mu's Mansion.
"Father! Something happened! Xia Yun cut off Xiao Chaogui's right hand at Fenglai Inn!"
Mu Chun, the prince of the Mu Palace and also the governor of the Nine Gates, rushed into the study of the palace.
Mu Tianxin, who was practicing calligraphy in the study, showed a look of surprise on his face when he heard Mu Chun's words.
"Which Xiao Chaogui?"
Mu Tianxin wondered if he had heard it wrong.
Xia Yun?
The newly promoted governor of Zhejiang?
Cut off Xiao Chaogui's right hand?
"Who else could it be? The second-generation descendant of the Zhao family, Xiao Chaogui!"
"He has been caught by Xia Yun and hung on a pillar in the street. I'm afraid he will die soon!"
Mu Chun was panting. He had just learned the news and rushed to the study immediately.
After confirming that he did not hear wrong, the surprise on Mu Tianxin's face first turned into astonishment and surprise.
But soon, a very deep light emerged in Mu Tianxin's dry pupils!
"The opportunity has come!"
Mu Tianxin slapped the desk with his right hand and stood up on the spot.
"Father, are we going?"
A hint of hesitation appeared on Mu Chun's face.
He remembered that his father had clearly told him not to go out and cause trouble.
"Of course I want to go!"
Mu Tianxin smiled grimly.
"That old man, Prince Zhao, is probably on his way now, and the one in Prince Nine's Palace must not be idle either."
"At a time like this, how can we miss the Mu Palace!"
As Mu Tianxin spoke, the smile on his face became increasingly gloomy.
After a while, Mu Tianxin and Mu Chun left the Prince Mu's Mansion.
Behind the two of them, followed by a large group of black-armored infantry!
Capital city, Xu Mansion.
In the house filled with the fragrance of agarwood, Xu Jinsong lay on a bamboo chair with his eyes slightly closed.
On the left and right stood two girls, about fourteen or fifteen years old, gently fanning themselves with palm-leaf fans.
At the same time, the young cabinet minister Xu Miao stood respectfully beside a table.
Just now, he had reported to his father what happened at Fenglai Inn.
"Xiao Chaogui...it was you who instigated him to go."
Suddenly, Xu Jinsong turned his head slightly, opened his eyes and looked at Xu Miao, and a rather vicissitudes of life voice came out of his mouth.
"In reply to father's words, Xiao Chaogui's affairs have nothing to do with my son."
Xu Miao responded directly.
Indeed, strictly speaking, he hadn't even met Xiao Chaogui today, let alone the word "incitement".
"Xiao Chaogui's concubine is Chen Yuling, and Chen Yuling is the daughter of Chen Hanzhi. Humph, they found a suitable person to stir up trouble."
Xu Jinsong withdrew his gaze from Xu Miao and snorted meaningfully.
Hearing this, Xu Miao broke out in sweat on his forehead, but he still maintained his calm expression.
"Father, according to reliable information, Prince Zhao and Prince Nine have already led people to the Fenglai Inn. I am worried that there will be a fight between the two of them when they meet."
"Father, as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, shouldn't you issue an order to prevent the situation from escalating further?"
Xu Miao spoke successively.
At this moment, Xu Miao really seemed to be committed to serving the country and the people.
However, after Xu Miao finished speaking, dozens of breaths had passed before Xu Jinsong finally gave an answer.
"Since the stage has been set up, there's no harm in letting them go on stage and sing first."
Xu Jinsong's words were still filled with profound meaning.
He has always turned a blind eye to his son.
There are some things that even if he knows, he will not say them in front of Xu Miao.
"Your Majesty, you should immediately submit a memorial to inform His Majesty of the matter. Remember not to conceal anything."
Xu Jinsong, who had closed his eyes again, seemed to remember something and added.
