When Miao Yi put down the Star Bell, Yang Zhaoqing reported, "Sir, our men have already met up with the Xiahou family. They are all in place."
Miao Yi nodded and slowly paced around the loft. Gao Yan's matter had suddenly caused such a huge commotion. It was impossible for him not to have heard about it. Xiahou Ling wasn't the only one asking about it. Yun Zhiqiu, Xiahou Chengyu, Yuan Venerate Qing, and even Huangfu Jun. Y were asking about it.
In fact, he had only found out about Gao Yan's torture after hearing the news. He was keenly aware that it might have something to do with Long Xin. Long Xin was originally from the Guang family's western army. After the Xiahou family kidnapped Gao Yan, Miao Yi happened to be busy outside and arranged for Long Xin to take over.
After pondering for a moment, Miao Yi said, "Contact Long Xin and ask him what happened."
Yang Zhaoqing understood what Miao Yi was referring to and immediately did as he was told. He took out the Star Bell and contacted Long Xin.
After a while, Yang Zhaoqing stopped and reported, "Sir, Long Xin said he was the one who did it."
Miao Yi stopped in front of the table and put one hand on it. He stared at his feet and said quietly, "I want a reason!"
Yang Zhaoqing said, "I asked him. He said that when he investigated his wife's disappearance, he heard that the first person to take a liking to his wife was not Zhou Zhao's son, Zhou Aolin, but Gao Zihu, the younger brother of Duke Guang's concubine, Gao Zixuan, who is also Gao Yan's father. At that time, he suspected that Zhou Aolin had never seen Gao Zihu's beauty before, so why would he come to ask for her? Gao Zihu was the one who came on Zhou Aolin's behalf. Back then, Gao Zihu played with Zhou Aolin, so he suspected that Gao Zihu was the one behind it. However, there was no evidence. This time, Gao Yan fell into his hands and triggered his old hatred. Since Sir said to send a dead man to the Guang family, Gao Zihu couldn't help but vent his anger. I didn't expect things to escalate to this extent. "
Miao Yi tapped his fingers on the table. After a moment of silence, he said, "Tell Long Xin that I will take responsibility for this. I will not let him off easily if there is a next time!" He then took out the Star Bell and began to give everyone an explanation.
First, he informed Yuan Venerate Qing that he had already investigated the matter and that Long Xin had done this because of an old grudge and Yuan Venerate Qing hadn't known about it beforehand.
Next, he personally contacted Xiahou Ling to explain. Xiahou Ling replied: "It's useless for you to explain to me. Lord Guang Ling has clearly taken action. Can you be sure that he doesn't have any backup plans?" If Guang Ling Duke were to get involved at this time, things would become troublesome.
Miao Yi replied, "I will keep Lord Guang in check.
Xia Hou Ling: I hope you can keep your word. Otherwise, don't blame me for leaving you behind halfway.
Miao Yi: Don't worry, Albatross. I know what I'm doing!
On the city tower of the Netherworld Governor's Office, after receiving Yang Zhaoqing's message, Long Xin sighed faintly. He was rather ashamed, but also a little moved. He had caused such a huge commotion, and it was definitely not good for the Governor's reputation. Especially when it was mentioned together with the incident with Chu Zishan, it would undoubtedly solidify the Governor's reputation as a ruthless person. However, the Governor had no intention of pushing him out to clear his name. Instead, he wanted to bear the consequences of his actions …
In the main courtyard of the inner residence of the Heavenly King of Guang's Manor, Guang Mei 'er, who was holding the Star Bell in her hand, nervously came to her mother's place. She slowly entered the door.
Mei Niang, who was embroidering, glanced at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Guang Mei 'er walked to the side and bowed, then transmitted her voice, "Mother, Niu Youde sent me a message. He wants me to look for Father. He wants me to be the middleman and talk to Father face to face."
Mei Niang looked at the Star Bell in her hand and felt a little apprehensive. Her instinctive reaction was to stop her and asked, "Did he say what he wanted to talk about?" She vaguely suspected that it had something to do with the incident of Gao Yan being skinned alive.
Guang Mei 'er shook her head. "He didn't say."
Mei Niang hesitated for a while. However, after learning her lesson last time, she didn't dare to act rashly. She was afraid that if she stopped her, she would cause more trouble. She had some confidence in the internal affairs of the Prince's Manor, but when it came to military and political affairs outside, she had little experience. Moreover, she had suffered a loss once, so she was really uncertain. In the end, she put down the things in her hands and gritted her teeth. "I'll go with you to look for your Father."
When the mother and daughter found Lord Guang, he was handling official business in his study.
Hearing that Niu Youde wanted to contact him, Lord Guang let out an 'oh', then sneered and said, "Ask him what he wants."
After Guang Mei 'er did as she was told, she replied, "Niu Youde said he wants to confirm if His Highness is here first. He said that Father will naturally have a way."
Lord Guang gestured to Gou Yue beside him with his head. Gou Yue quickly let those who were in contact with Miao Yi inform Miao Yi.
The Star Bell in Guang Mei 'er's hand quickly reacted, but she didn't dare to speak for a long time. She even peeked at her mother from time to time.
Mei Niang's heart skipped a beat as she realized something. What was she afraid of had really come true. What should she do now?
Seeing the mother and daughter's reaction, Gou Yue noticed something and secretly glanced at His Highness. Lord Guang naturally noticed it as well. He slowly said, "Mei 'er, Father promises you that the past is in the past. Father will not pursue it anymore."
Mei Niang's heart skipped a beat. She understood what His Highness was hinting at, so she quickly gave Mei 'er a look.
Guang Mei 'er then braced herself and said, "Niu Youde said that he had no intention of offending you, Father. He had contacted us about the Vitality Sect before. Bao Lian had followed him for many years, so he wanted to plead on Bao Lian's behalf. As for which side the Vitality Sect should side with, he didn't want to interfere at first. However, Gao Yan had gone too far and insulted him. He had no choice but to interfere. She only said that Miao Yi had contacted them, but didn't say that Miao Yi had contacted her personally.
Lord Guang had no intention of pursuing who Miao Yi had contacted, so he sneered again, "Is he not going to give me an explanation for the incident at the phantom market?"
After Guang Mei 'er informed him, she immediately conveyed Miao Yi's intention. Miao Yi obviously changed the topic, "He didn't know about Gao Yan's torture beforehand. It was done by Long Xin in private. After investigating, he found out that it was caused by the old grudge between Long Xin and Gao Zihu. This matter involves the old grudge between Zhou Aolin and Long Xin for stealing his wife. If Father wishes to know the truth, you can ask Gao Zihu. He doesn't intend to mention this matter to anyone else. He also pretends that Father sent people to destroy his reputation didn't happen.
He hopes that Father will be magnanimous and let this matter go. "At this point, there was nothing he couldn't say about this kind of private contact without evidence.
Mei Niang's eyes flashed. She muttered to herself, 'Gao Zihu is actually related to Zhou Aolin stealing Long Xin's wife. What role did he play?'
Lord Guang and Gou Yue looked at each other. As expected, it was related to that matter. Niu Youde was clearly telling them that if they dared to act recklessly, he would expose the matter of the Guang Clan allowing their family to steal the wives of their subordinates.
Lord Guang raised his chin at his daughter, indicating for her to reply, "Are you threatening me?"
Guang Mei 'er told Miao Yi, but after receiving his reply, she became hesitant again.
Lord Guang shouted in a deep voice, "Speak!"
Guang Mei 'er was shocked. She quickly told him Miao Yi's original words, "It's not a threat, it's a warning. He won't have a good life facing the Ying Clan anyway. His life is already worthless. If Father insists on making things difficult for him, he will just fight to the death. No one will have an easy time … Father, that's it. He said there's nothing else to say. He said that if Father insists on being unreasonable and bullying others, then let Father do as you see fit. He will accompany you anytime!"
After she said this, she secretly clicked her tongue. Mei Niang also secretly stuck her tongue out. She realized that this Niu Youde was quite daring.
Bang! Lord Guang slammed the table and stood up, shouting, "Insolent! Does he really think that I can't do anything to him? "
He was furious. He thought that Miao Yi was going to ask him for peace, but in the end, it turned out that he was just threatening him. This was intolerable!
At the side, Gou Yue's expression changed drastically as he took out the Star Bell's external communication device. He said, "Your Highness, something big has happened!"
Gou Yue didn't care that his wife and daughter were beside him. He quickly turned around with a grim expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
Gou Yue said with a serious expression, "A large number of jade archives have suddenly appeared all over the realm, all aimed at Ying Jiuguang. One of them claims that during the battle of the Black Dragon Lake, the Ying Clan sent five million elites disguised as bandits to ambush Niu Youde. The Eastern Army clearly only lost two million men, but they exaggerated it to three million. They also claim that in order to win the battle, the Ying Clan didn't hesitate to kill the hundreds of thousands of captives that Niu Youde's side had pushed to the frontlines. The commander who led the Eastern Army's five million elites disguised as bandits was none other than Marquis Ying Wuman. He was captured alive by Niu Youde, and is still in his hands! "
The Duke of Guang narrowed his eyes.
Gou Yue continued, "Secondly, in order to cover up his shame, Ying Jiuguang spared no expense in exchange for the hundreds of thousands of hostages and over a million corpses that Niu Youde had captured from the Black Dragon Lake. He also released the captured members of Virtue Assembly Hall and rehabilitated them. He also promised to promote Niu Youde to the position of Celestial Street's Governor and Patrol Inspector. For this, he purchased ten thousand trillion Yuan Immortal Pills as compensation to Niu Youde, with the intention of getting Ying Wuman back!"
The Duke of Guang inhaled a breath of cold air. Ying Jiuguang was afraid that this matter was like a piece of yellow mud falling into his pants. Even if it was not shit, it would still be shit. The people who were arrested in Juxian Hall were indeed released and rehabilitated. Niu Youde was indeed promoted in the name of suppressing the bandits.
Gou Yue said, "Thirdly, Concubine Qin accused Ying Jiuguang of acting under his orders. In order to help Heavenly Concubine Zhan Ruyi ascend to the position of Heavenly Empress, she did not hesitate to sacrifice her body to frame the Emperor, causing him to be demoted. When Imperial Concubine Houqin and her family discovered that Ying Jiuguang had the intention of rebelling, Ying Jiuguang forced them to think of a way to murder Lord Qing. Her entire family was terrified and did not dare to provoke Ying Jiuguang, so they fled with their entire family. In order to avoid being implicated in the crime of rebelling, Imperial Concubine Houqin and her family wrote this letter to expose Ying Jiuguang. The jade archive has the seal of Imperial Concubine Houqin and her family on it. We don't know if it's real or not, but it won't be difficult to verify it. "
