Prince Hatred looked at Xiao Yan with a solemn expression:
"I just thought it was strange, so I sent a message and ordered someone to follow me secretly. Later I found out that the Liang family had arrested a group of people, tortured them severely, extorted confessions, and tortured them in every possible way, as if they wanted to find out something. Afterwards, they secretly escorted them back to Beijing. .”
"My people followed them all the way until they were approaching the capital, and they unexpectedly learned the identities of those people. The people captured by the Liang family were actually the Xiao family who should have died long ago. The father of Governor Xiao was because of his harsh treatment of Yu. After he was killed, the infamous Xiao Jinan, the head of the Xiao family, was still alive, but he changed his name and surname and took the rest of the Xiao family into hiding in Jiangnan over the years."
"What did you say?!" Wen Xinhou was shocked.
Cao Dejiang also stood up suddenly: "You said Xiao Jinan is still alive?!"
Feng Qiuli blurted out: "Impossible! When the Xiao family was bloodbathed, Xiao Jinan's body was clearly seen by many people."
"Yes, Xiao Jin'an is obviously dead."
"How can the Xiao family be still alive..."
"Is it a mistake?"
Everyone else in the palace was in an uproar because they hated the king's words.
Who doesn't know how Xiao Yan "tortured" the Xiao family, how he killed his father and brothers, stepped on the bones of other members of the Xiao family and gained a reputation as a ruthless person, and then gradually became the most favored servant before the emperor, and then was killed by Emperor An Chongyong took charge of the Privy Council.
Xiao Yan was a lonely minister and had nothing to worry about behind him. That's why Emperor An reused him, and the whole government and the public were wary of him because he didn't have any weak spots around him.
Who dares to provoke a man who can kill his father and his relatives?
But now Prince Hate said that the Xiao family was not dead at all, so Xiao Jinan was still alive and well. How could this not be shocking? !
Emperor An never expected that the Xiao family was still alive. He suddenly looked at Xiao Yan: "Xiao Yan, you are so brave. How dare you deceive me?!"
Xiao Yan tilted his head and said, "Your Majesty's words are serious. Wei Chen has never told Your Majesty personally that Wei Chen killed the Xiao family."
"Why didn't you, you..."
Emperor An wanted to yell and scold him when he spoke, but when the words came to his lips, his face turned green.
Xiao Yan said quietly: "Wei Chen just told Your Majesty that Wei Chen was not on good terms with his family and had a miserable life when he was young. He told Your Majesty that Wei Chen has no close relatives since he was young."
"Your Majesty feels that Wei Chen killed his father and killed his relatives. He thinks that I am ruthless and ruthless. He also feels that I have violated human relations and is not tolerated by the world. From now on, I can only rely on Your Majesty, so I can be used. Wei Chen has never interacted with me from the beginning to the end. You said that Wei Chen killed the Xiao family."
Emperor An's face turned pale: "You..."
Xiao Yan raised his head and said, "Your Majesty has a misunderstanding. I am just being considerate and following your wishes. How can I deceive you?"
"you!!"
Emperor An was so angry that he was trembling with anger at Xiao Yan's shameless words. When he looked into his clear eyes, he was extremely angry, but he was even more uneasy.
When Xiao Yan first rose to prominence in the palace, a chance encounter allowed him to see his talent. After he was promoted to the twelfth prison, he did everything he wanted. He was a suspicious person, so he would naturally check out Xiao Yan's background. When he knew He entered the inner court because he was treated harshly by his father and turned against him, so he became interested in being important.
He deliberately gave Xiao Yan a chance to show his face, and Xiao Yan also wanted to turn against the Xiao family. He found a name to offend the Xiao family, viciously killed the Xiao family, abandoned all filial piety and etiquette, and killed the Xiao family to death. Despised by everyone.
Emperor An saw that he was a lonely man, and even did anything to win his favor. In addition, he later became like a bereaved dog with no one to rely on except himself as his master, so he was relieved to use him seriously. He gradually gained power and became a confidant, and even handed over the Privy Council to him. Got him.
But now he was told that everything Xiao Yan showed was false.
He had never killed the Xiao family, nor had he killed his father or any of his relatives. After he entered the palace, everything was false, which also meant that Xiao Yan had been playing tricks in front of him all these years.
Emperor An was extremely uneasy.
Someone who could hide it from him hid the Xiao family in the south of the Yangtze River and concealed the fact that he had been performing in front of the saint for many years. What did Xiao Yan do?
What is the purpose of gaining his trust? !
Cui Lin didn't notice anything was wrong, but was surprised that the Xiao family was still alive, and...he was full of injustice: "Prince Hatred, what are you talking about? When will I send people to Jiangnan?"
"How do I know that I shouldn't ask Cui Shangshu himself?"
"Don't slander me, I've never let anyone go there!"
"Cui Shangshu said there is no such thing as no one."
It would be fine if he continued to argue, but Cui Lin almost fell down in anger because he looked like he was not arguing with him.
Prince Hate didn't want to say anything more to him. He ignored the anger on Cui Lin's face and turned to look at Xiao Yan, who looked indifferent.
"My people intercepted the letters that those people sent back to the Liang family in the capital, and found out that it was Taishi Liang. They had long suspected Xiao Yan's identity, suspected that he was not the son of the Xiao family, and also suspected that there was something fishy about his repeated targeting of the aristocratic family and the extermination of the Lu family. So I brought the Xiao family back to the capital and used it to plot against Xiao Yan."
"They took the opportunity to intercept this group of people and learned a shocking secret."
Grand Master Liang felt his heart beating fast when he heard what Prince Hatred said. He indeed sent people to Jiangnan to investigate the affairs of the Xiao family and wanted to find out Xiao Yan's details, but there was no news from the people he sent. He just pretended that they had not yet They found important things, but they didn't expect that they had already found the Xiao family, and they were stopped halfway by Prince Hatred.
At this time, when he heard the "shocking secret" from Prince Hatred, he subconsciously wanted to interrupt, but it was already too late.
"Twenty-three years ago, the third daughter of the He family married Xiao Jin'an, the eldest son of Xiao. After the He family was wiped out due to a conspiracy, the He family daughter hanged herself in the house to save the Xiao family. The Xiao family did indeed There was a legitimate second son, but he died not long after he was born, but after the He family's daughter died, the legitimate second son came back to life."
"The Xiao family said to the outside world that the child was sick and was sent to another village to be raised when he was young. In fact, the child who was brought back later was not the Xiao family's son at all."
"The Xiao family named him Yan, treated him well, and never let him show up to the outside world. Everyone thought that the Xiao family didn't like him, but in fact it was because of the so-called direct descendant. He is not of the Xiao family at all, they are just trying to cover up his identity and pave the way for what he will do in the future."
Prince Hatred looked at Xiao Yan and said word by word:
"Xiao Yan is not a son of the Xiao family, but the youngest son of He Wenzhuo, the third master of the He family. He is also the only bloodline of the He family left in the world. He is the direct grandson of the He family, He Yan."
"The Xiao family hid him in the house for many years, changed his name and surname, and then gave up the entire Xiao family's connections and family fortune in Beijing, pretending to break up with him, and even faked his death for everyone in the Xiao family, just to allow the He family bloodline to be normalized. Win the favor of my father and re-enter the court as the son of the Xiao family!"
