On the throne, Dongfang Yingzheng felt even more headache after hearing Nangong Wudi's answer.
If this matter is not handled well, it will not only chill the hearts of countless soldiers of the Xia Kingdom, but also damage the face of the Xia Kingdom and make other forces laugh at the Xia Kingdom.
"Everyone, I intend to investigate this matter thoroughly. Which of you is willing to share the worries of the country?"
Looking at the civil and military officials throughout the dynasty, Dongfang Yingzheng asked helplessly.
Now the Xiao family's destruction in Zhongzhou must not be investigated with great fanfare. The matter has not yet come to light. If someone were to directly arrest Ye Yun for interrogation, it would probably make countless soldiers in Jizhou complain, so they could only investigate secretly.
After hearing what Dongfang Yingzheng said, all the civil and military officials in the court looked at each other. They who were noisy before seemed to have turned into wooden men.
After a long time, no one came out to take over the errand given by Dongfang Yingzheng.
Seeing this scene, Dongfang Yingzheng's expression turned grim. Just when he was about to scold the ministers directly, Lin Tianying, the national advisor of the Xia Kingdom, suddenly walked out.
"Your Majesty, this matter should not be made public. I am willing to send my elders to Zhongzhou to get to the bottom of this matter."
Lin Tianying bowed his head respectfully to Dongfang Yingzheng and said.
No one saw that there was a hint of smile on his face at this time.
After Lin Zhengbei left yesterday, he went to the residence of Right Prime Minister Murong Fuxing and told Murong Fuxing about Ye Yun's massacre of the Xiao family in Zhongzhou.
The news that King Dongfang Yingzheng of Xia wanted to appoint Ye Yun as the general of the country had long been leaked.
Murong Fuxing was thinking about how to make Dongfang Yingzheng give up this idea at home.
Unexpectedly, Lin Tianying took the initiative to come with evidence of Ye Yun's crime. The two hit it off, which led to the scene in the court today.
When Murong Fuxing comes out to expose Ye Yun's evil deeds, Lin Tianying will send people to Zhongzhou to collect evidence of Ye Yun's crimes.
At this time, regardless of whether Ye Yun did this or not, Lin Tianying had countless ways to make Ye Yun bear this crime. At this time, he proposed to send people to Zhongzhou to collect evidence, just to make his plan more rigorous.
On the throne, Dongfang Yingzheng couldn't help but soften a little after hearing Lin Tianying's words.
"good!"
"In that case, thank you to the Imperial Master for your hard work!"
………
After the court was dismissed, Lin Tianying and Murong Fuxing looked at each other tacitly and then returned to their respective mansions.
Here, after Lin Tianying returned to the Lin family, he directly summoned the elders of the Lin family. Although going to Zhongzhou was just a formality, he still had to do a good job on the surface to avoid being caught by others.
"Elders, Your Majesty has ordered me, the Lin family, to go to Zhongzhou City to investigate the murder of the Xiao family."
"Would any of you be willing to take a trip?"
In the hall of the Lin family, Lin Tianying looked at the elder of the Lin family sitting next to him and said in a calm tone.
After hearing his words, the elders below couldn't help but become confused.
"Master, why did your Majesty give me such an errand in the Lin family?"
"The matter concerning the Xiao family in Zhongzhou has been settled, isn't it?"
"Have there been any changes?"
The speaker was Lin Tianhu, an elder of the Lin family who was sitting in the seat below Lin Tianying. He and Lin Tianying were brothers from the same father and mother.
"Yes, there is news now that there is another hidden reason behind the extermination of the Xiao family in Zhongzhou. The murderer is most likely Ye Yun, who has become famous recently."
Hearing his brother's question, Lin Tianying answered directly.
As soon as these words came out, the Lin family elders present could not help but be shocked.
If this matter is true, then Ye Yun and Situ Yu, the lord of Zhongzhou City, are guilty of deceiving the emperor.
When Lin Tianhu, who was sitting next to the leader, heard this, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"Master, since your Majesty has assigned this matter, let me go to Zhongzhou!"
"This can also show our seriousness in this matter."
Murderous intent flashed through, and Lin Tianhu said calmly to Lin Tianying.
Seeing this, Lin Tianying felt that it made sense, so he agreed directly. After discussing some trivial matters of the Lin family, Lin Tianying asked the elders to disperse.
However, when Lin Tianhu was about to leave, Lin Tianying suddenly asked him to stay.
"Master, you asked me to stay, but you still have something to tell me?"
After the other elders had gone away, Lin Tianhu asked with some confusion.
"Um!"
"I have something to tell you here."
Lin Tianying said after hearing this, and then he told Lin Tianhu about Lin Zhengbei's arrival and about Ye Yun.
After listening, Lin Tianhu couldn't help clenching his fists and his face became extremely cold.
"This little thief Ye Yun really deserves to die!"
Cold words popped out of Lin Tianhu's mouth one word after another, making Lin Tianying feel a little confused.
"What's wrong?"
"Tianhu, you seem to be very concerned about this matter?"
Looking at Lin Tianhu, Lin Tianying asked in a confused tone.
Opposite him, Lin Tianhu quickly calmed down and said:
"It's okay, Patriarch. I just feel that these scoundrels who deceive the king and ignore their superiors should be cut to pieces."
Hearing this, Lin Tianying glanced at Lin Tianhu. It was the first time that he discovered that his younger brother regarded evil as hatred.
But he didn't think much about it. Seeing that everything was explained clearly, he asked Lin Tianhu to go down and prepare before setting off.
After saying goodbye to Lin Tianying, Lin Tianhu couldn't wait to return to his yard to pack his things.
"Ye Yun!"
"You kid dare to cut off my wealth, no wonder I'm ruthless."
"I will make you miserable and regret coming into this world!"
Lin Tianhu's resentful voice rang out in the room.
Although he is Lin Tianying's biological brother, he does not get many resources from the Lin family, which is not enough for his expenses.
So he secretly contacted the Xiao family in Zhongzhou, and relied on the power of the Lin family in Wangcheng in the Xia Kingdom to help the Xiao family settle some official matters.
Every year, the Xiao family in Zhongzhou would give him a large sum of money as a tribute for him to squander.
Originally, when he heard that the Xiao family in Zhongzhou had been destroyed and the murderer was missing, although he was very angry, he could only admit that he was unlucky.
After all, the Xianwu Continent is so big that the murderer can be found anywhere with just a cat.
Unexpectedly, today I learned from the head of my family that the murderer of the Xiao family in Zhongzhou was actually Ye Yun.
Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents. Lin Tianhu decided to torture Ye Yun well in order to eliminate the hatred in his heart...
