The eldest lady is reborn, get out of the way!

"You are such a loser! You call yourself the best assassin in Qianshan Tower, but you can't even kill Jiang Mao who is seriously injured!"

Xie Ji smashed a teacup in anger, causing tea to splash everywhere. The man in black standing by the window looked cold.

"Thank you, sir. You and I are not in a superior-subordinate relationship."

The man in black looked at Xie Ji coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes undisguised.

Xie Ji has been through a lot, so how could he be afraid of his murderous intent?

"If I can't kill Jiang Mao, I will die sooner or later. Am I afraid that you will kill me?"

Xie Ji knew Jiang Mao very well. As long as he got the evidence and presented it to the emperor, he would surely be killed.

This killer from Qianshan Tower seems to live up to his reputation, but in fact he does not live up to it.

When the man in black heard Xie Ji's words, his eyes flickered: "There is still a chance."

Xie Ji looked at the man in black with sharp eyes: "Is there still a chance? He is someone that even the official post on the road can't kill."

"We are in the capital, at the feet of the emperor, with two first-rank officials. Do you think that the capital garrison and the city defense army are just for nothing?"

The man in black seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied with Xie Ji's underestimation of his ability. He said in a calm voice: "Master Xie, don't forget it."

"We assassins are better at assassination."

Xie Ji narrowed his eyes when he heard the man in black's words: "I hope you are better at assassination as you said."

The man in black looked at Xie Ji, who didn't seem to trust him, and asked, "Lord Xie, you don't seem to trust me?"

Xie Ji glanced at the man in black coldly: "Whether you believe it or not depends entirely on your own ability."

"Even if I don't believe you, you can only live up to your reputation as the best killer in Qianshan Tower if you can get the job done."

After hearing what Xie Ji said, the man in black said nothing more and jumped out of the window and left.

As soon as the man in black left, Xie Yi arrived.

Xie Yi held a bowl of ginseng tea in his hand, "Father."

Xie Ji wiped off the traces left by the man in black on the windowsill and went to open the door.

Xie Ji saw Xie Yi revealing a gentle smile and stepped aside to let him into the study.

Xie Yi looked at the wide-open window of Xie Ji's study, and frowned slightly on her pretty face: "You have just recovered from the cold, so you should not open such a large window."

Xie Yi put down the ginseng tea, walked to the window and lowered the window frame. When he looked down, he saw some sand and soil that had fallen to the window sill.

He was cautious and did not tell Xie Ji about this discovery.

Seeing that he looked normal, Xie Ji even smiled at him and said, "Isn't the government office busy these days?"

After Xie Yi returned to Beijing, Emperor Rong'an arranged another job for Xie Yi, making him a deputy minister in the Ministry of Works.

Xie Yi shook his head slightly. Since he insisted on returning to Beijing, he must have angered the emperor, so the emperor sent him to the Ministry of Works.

Xie Ji looked at Xie Yi without changing his expression, and a trace of guilt rose in his heart.

If it weren't for the eldest son, Yier would have had a better future.

Now Yier has returned to the capital for him, which has also angered His Majesty.

Xie Ji thought for a while and said, "Why don't I go and ask His Majesty to transfer you back..."

"Father." Xie Yi interrupted Xie Ji: "Given the current situation at home, I don't want you to run around for me anymore."

"If the father insists on doing this, then he is being unfilial."

Seeing that Xie Yi disagreed, Xie Ji had no choice but to keep silent.

Xie Yi suddenly said, "The ginseng tea is getting cold, father, drink it while it's hot."

Xie Ji drank the ginseng tea obediently.

Xie Yi didn't say anything more and said goodbye to Xie Ji.

But after Xie Yi left, Xie Ji's expression became even uglier.

Now that he is no longer at the center of the court, he receives less information.

As for the Prince of Wei's Palace, it is now even more closely connected with the Prince of Xiping's Palace.

Although Xie Ji knew that the King of Wei was an unreliable person, he did not expect him to be so cold-blooded.

Once he fell from power, the King of Wei never even thought of visiting him.

Xie Ji's eyes darkened. Since the King of Wei was so unkind, he should not blame him for being unjust.

The Xie family and the Prince Wei’s Palace are both inseparable from the affairs of Jiangnan.

-

Prince Wei's Mansion.

Just as Xie Ji expected, King Wei is now also worried about the corruption case in Jiangnan.

As he was a prince, and a favored prince at that, countless people came to give him silver.

But there must be a channel to send silver to the prince.

This channel is the Xie family, and the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is one of them.

The King of Wei looked at the scholar-like man in green shirt, his face gloomy: "You mean the bulk of the money sent by Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is in the King of Wei's Mansion?"

This person was none other than Master Chi, the lawyer beside Xie Ji.

"Every penny of the money sent from Jiangnan must be recorded in the account book. If Your Majesty doesn't find a way soon, not only will you have no chance to become the Crown Prince, but you will also have a hard time protecting yourself."

King Wei looked at Master Chi coldly and said, "How dare you threaten me?"

Master Chi shook his head decisively: "Your Majesty, I am not threatening you. I am just pointing out the dilemma you will face next."

King Wei looked unhappy: "So... are you here to give me some advice?"

“I do have a plan, but I don’t know whether His Majesty is willing to implement it.” Master Chi’s eyes were extremely cold, even a little creepy.

King Wei glanced at Master Chi and said, "Speak."

"Since we cannot win over the Duke of Ying and the Duke of Lu, we can find a way to get rid of them."

At this moment, Master Chi was like a poisonous snake, spitting out scarlet snake tongue, damp and vicious: "If there are more serious crimes waiting for them, then what they find out will not be credible."

"How can a person who has a bad character come up with real evidence?"

"At that point, even if the evidence is true, it will become false."

When King Wei heard what Master Chi said, he couldn't help but feel a little curious: "What is the bigger crime you are talking about...?"

"Collaboration with the enemy, treason."

Master Chi spat out these four words coldly.

The King of Wei couldn't help being shocked for a moment, but he quickly realized, "Impossible."

"Anyone can frame the Duke of Ying and the Duke of Lu for these two crimes, but no one will believe them."

King Wei looked at Master Chi with a somewhat disappointed look. He thought that Master Chi could come up with some amazing ideas that would make everyone applaud.

Both the Jiang and Lu families were military generals who had fought on the battlefield. They had extremely high reputations not only in the court but also among the people.

It is more believable to say that the two families were colluding with the enemy and committing treason than to accuse them of corruption.

Master Chi smiled slightly: "Such a charge does not have to be true. As long as Your Majesty is suspicious and has some evidence that seems true or false, that is enough."

"The so-called killing is to destroy one's heart."

"Isn't your majesty afraid that the Jiang and Lu families will become too powerful to be feared by the emperor?"

After hearing Master Chi’s explanation, King Wei couldn’t help but be moved.

If he could use these two charges to catch both the Jiang and Lu families in one fell swoop, it would be a great thing for him.

"I wonder if Master has any solution?"

"If you need people, I have plenty."

When Master Chi smiled, he knew that the King of Wei would definitely be interested in this idea.
