To the members of the Xiao clan, the establishment of the Law Enforcement Hall was definitely an earth-shattering event. This was because the establishment of the Law Enforcement Hall meant a great cleansing of the Xiao clan.
On the second day, after the five elders jointly announced the establishment of the Law Enforcement Hall, the entire Xiao clan was shaken. From the direct line of descent to the ordinary guards and maids, everyone seemed to have a premonition of something. At the same time, they also guessed that the establishment of the Law Enforcement Hall was most likely pushed forward by Xiao Chen.
The entire Xiao clan was discussing the Law Enforcement Hall. However, Xiao Chen did not care about this at all. At this moment, in the backyard of the Xiao clan, Xiao Chen looked at the twenty Xiao clan disciples in front of him. These people were all chosen by the five elders from the direct line of descent of the Xiao clan. Of course, there were no people from the Second Master and Third Master of the Xiao clan among them.
There were only twenty people. At this moment, when they faced Xiao Chen, they could not help but reveal a trace of worship in their eyes. To them, Xiao Chen was the pride of the Xiao clan. Without Xiao Chen, the Xiao clan would not exist today.
With a faint smile on his face, Xiao Chen swept his gaze across everyone. Finally, he calmly opened his mouth and said, "Do you know the purpose of the establishment of the Law Enforcement Hall?"
"We know." Faced with Xiao Chen's question, everyone replied in unison.
Obviously, the five elders had already explained everything about the Law Enforcement Hall to them. As such, Xiao Chen naturally did not need to waste his breath. With a faint smile, Xiao Chen continued.
"Alright, then I will give you your first mission today. Investigate the matter of the Second Master and Third Master. There is no need to worry, I only want the truth."
With the establishment of the Law Enforcement Hall, Xiao Chen's first mission was to investigate the Second Master and Third Master. Hearing this, the twenty people present did not have much of a change in expression. It was as if they had already expected this.
After replying respectfully, Xiao Chen dismissed everyone. He had already begun to make his move on the Second Master and Third Master. After everyone left, Xiao Chen raised his head to look at the horizon and said calmly, "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, I hope you don't seek your own deaths."
Xiao Chen had already begun his operation. At the same time, in another part of the Xiao Clan's courtyard, which was the residence of the second master of the Xiao Clan, the second master and the third master of the Xiao Clan were sitting opposite each other in a secret chamber in the courtyard. Both of them looked rather upset.
The Second Master's name was Xiao Mu, and the Third Master's name was Xiao Feng...................................... Xiao Qing............... Xiao Chen.............................
.... They had already received the news of the Law Enforcement Hall. Moreover, with Xiao Feng and Xiao Mu's status, they obviously knew more inside information. Moreover, they quickly guessed that the main reason Xiao Chen established the Law Enforcement Hall was because of the two of them.
Hearing Xiao Feng's words, the Second Master, Xiao Mu, said after a moment of silence, "Third Brother, you should understand Xiao Chen's power. If you ask me, let's just forget about it. Now that Xiao Chen has returned, everything is over."
Facing Xiao Chen, Xiao Mu wanted to retreat. There was no other way. Xiao Chen's reputation in the Xiao clan was unparalleled. Now that Xiao Chen had returned, it was almost impossible to fight for power in his hands.
He proposed to give up. However, when Xiao Feng heard this, he immediately refused, "Second Brother, we have worked so hard for so long. Are you willing to give up now? We are just one step away from forcing Xiao Qing to give up his position. At that time, the entire Xiao clan will be ours. Moreover, we still have the Crown Prince behind us. "
Xiao Feng was unwilling to give up. Moreover, he actually mentioned the Crown Prince. Hearing the Crown Prince, Xiao Mu's expression also changed.
To put it bluntly, the reason why Xiao Feng and Xiao Mu could control the finances of the Xiao clan and the army of the Xiao clan was because of the Crown Prince's help. This Crown Prince was naturally the Crown Prince of the Lingfeng Country, Mo Feng.
Unlike his father, Mo Yao, as the current Crown Prince, Mo Feng was like a fish bone stuck in his throat when it came to the Xiao Clan of the Lingshan Commandery.
In fact, this was not surprising. Facing a country that was almost a country within a country, it was believed that no emperor would allow it. It was only because of Xiao Chen's existence that the royal family did not dare to make the slightest move, so there was no other way.
Precisely because they did not dare to become enemies with the Xiao family, Emperor Mo Yao chose to befriend the Xiao family. However, Crown Prince Mo Feng was different. He did not choose to follow his father's plan and befriend the Xiao family. Instead, he used another method with the intention of controlling the Xiao family. As for that method, it was to support one of his own to take control of the Xiao family.
Without a doubt, Xiao Mu and Xiao Feng were the people Mo Feng chose. Therefore, in these few years, Mo Feng spared no effort to help them seize power.
No one would have thought that behind the Xiao clan's internal strife, there was the shadow of the imperial family. Crown Prince Mo Feng was indeed a very ambitious person.
He clearly knew that Xiao Chen existed in the Xiao clan, but he still dared to do this. Perhaps his goal was to make the Lingfeng Country have only one voice, and that was the imperial family.
Hearing Xiao Feng mention the Crown Prince, Xiao Mu was stunned. Seeing this, Xiao Feng continued.
"Second brother, I have already sent a message to His Highness the Crown Prince last night. His Highness the Crown Prince has also replied that he will personally come. Right now, everything has already been prepared. We are only left with this final step. Second brother, at this time, we cannot retreat. Otherwise, everything we have done before will be in vain."
Xiao Feng continued to persuade. From his words, it wasn't hard to tell that the two of them had already made all the preparations. They only needed one final strike to successfully remove Xiao Qing from the position of the Patriarch. At that time, the Xiao clan's power would be in the hands of the two brothers.
Under Xiao Feng's constant persuasion, Xiao Mu finally clenched his teeth and chose to go all out.
Just as Xiao Feng and Xiao Mu were having a secret conversation, Crown Prince Mo Feng secretly left the Lingfeng Country's imperial capital. He only brought a few dozen personal guards with him.
Riding a Rank 1 Demonic Beast, the Wind Chasing Horse, he quickly rushed towards the Lingshan Country. Sitting in the middle of the carriage, Mo Feng's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness as he softly muttered to himself.
"Xiao Chen, I know that you are very powerful. However, since I am the Crown Prince of the Lingfeng Country, I will definitely not allow a country within a country to exist in the Lingfeng Country. Therefore, the Xiao clan can only submit to the imperial family."
After saying this, Mo Feng closed his eyes and a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth. Very quickly, the carriage became so silent that one could hear a pin drop. Only the sound of horse hooves could be heard.
