Chapter 600: Battle of Wits and Tactics

Although He Xiao is not from Chiyan, he is still known as the Chiyan messenger. He has made great contributions in the case of the immortality medicine, and he is also a big celebrity in Lingxu City. As a result, the gods did not consider these things at all, and invaded as they said!

He Lingchuan saw that he looked unhappy, and patted his shoulder: "Come on, what can we do? Without the gods, there would be no Beijia."

Fu Shanyue said with a straight face: "I'm afraid they will treat me like this."

"I didn't attack you tonight, and I probably won't do it later." He Lingchuan was open-minded, "After all, you are different from me. You are the real prince of Chiyan. It would be difficult for even the gods to explain if they attacked the heir of the Fan Yao King casually?"

There seemed to be some accidents at the end of the invasion of the gods. I don't know if this is the reason why they gave up testing Fu Shanyue.

He changed the subject: "What does the Emperor say about Prince Huan's murder and arson? Has the instigator been caught?"

Fu Shanyue shook his head: "The Emperor summoned me and comforted me with kind words."

The fact is that after he entered Lingxiao Peak and saw the Emperor, he knelt straight down and kowtowed several times, but he didn't say a word.

This is because he was greatly wronged, and he was determined to show his attitude and must seek justice.

The Emperor comforted him with gentle words, and Fu Shanyue raised his head and vented at the Emperor.

He insisted that the instigator behind the murder and arson of Prince Lingxu must be the Yao family, the Minister of Agriculture.

The Emperor asked him if he had any evidence. Fu Shanyue moved him with emotion and reason, and recounted the difficulty of investigating the immortal medicine case. He became more and more excited as he spoke, and he was almost crying.

But there was no evidence.

It doesn't matter if there is no evidence. Just go to the street and ask anyone who you think is the mastermind behind the scenes?

Nine out of ten people will tell you that it must be the Minister of Agriculture or Madam Cen.

Isn't it obvious that she has to vent her anger even if she can't save her husband?

Isn't this human nature?

Emperor: "Without evidence, it may not be the family of the Grand Minister of Agriculture."

Fu Shanyue sneered: "If his family didn't harm me, why would they give me a big house?"

His retort made the dignified demon emperor speechless.

In the end, it had no choice but to call in the Grand Minister of Agriculture who was waiting outside.

Fu Shanyue was originally a rough and unscrupulous person. He was not afraid at all when he met the person involved, and he retorted to Yao Mao without any temper.

But Yao Xingning didn't show up from beginning to end. Maybe the emperor was afraid that the two of them had bad tempers and would become awkward as soon as they met, turning the court into a place for quarrels at the entrance of the vegetable market.

Fu Shanyue described the process in detail, and he and He Lingchuan laughed loudly.

He Lingchuan laughed a few times and covered his head. It hurt!

In short, the Grand Minister of Agriculture knew that his family had left a bad impression on the melon-eaters all over the country in this matter, and it was useless to make excuses. He could only express that the Yao family would definitely help investigate the murderer and prove their innocence.

Fu Shanyue gladly accepted it and said in front of the Emperor that he would ask the Minister of Agriculture about the progress every now and then.

The Emperor did not object, which meant he agreed.

Then he would go to the Minister of Agriculture later and ask him to investigate according to the Emperor's order.

The Minister of Agriculture also knew that it was not good, but he could not say anything.

When Fu Shanyue said this, he slapped a few deeds on the table and laughed: "The deed of Xiangxueju! Hahaha, I asked the Minister of Agriculture for it in front of the Emperor!"

"The Minister of Agriculture has other apologies, all of which belong to me." He pushed the deed in front of He Lingchuan, "Here, this Xiangxueju is for you as compensation for the burning of Panshan's house!"

He was very proud that his promise to recover compensation for He Lingchuan was fulfilled.

He Lingchuan put away the deed and thanked him sincerely.

Fu Shanyue was not a good person, but he kept his word.

"Then what?" he asked Fu Shanyue, "Is this matter settled?"

"No, there's more."

After the Grand Minister of Agriculture left the stage, the Emperor called Prince Huan over and apologized to Fu Shanyue in court.

Fu Shanyue then said he didn't dare.

It's strange that he didn't dare.

Seeing that Prince Huan was so arrogant yesterday, but he was so downcast today, it was obvious that he had been severely reprimanded by the Emperor.

Of course, Fu Shanyue knew that he was not convinced in his heart, but he had to apologize because of the request of his father.

"Prince Huan claimed that he had not met Yao Xingning recently. The palace only told him that Yao Xingning was away on business. He heard several palace people talking privately, and then he knew that Yao Xingning was crying all day because of her husband's accident. He was so angry that he came to trouble me."

He Lingchuan shook his head after hearing this: "This silly kid is really good to Yao Xingning, but he threw the thunder on his father's head."

If no one instigated him, Prince Huan's actions would be spontaneous and voluntary. Then the one who has to clean up the mess in the end is the Emperor.

Ha, who can really afford it?

"The Emperor doesn't want to accept it, so he ordered a strict interrogation of the guards around Prince Huan." Fu Shanyue said, "They are always with Prince Huan, and they know where Prince Huan is going. What's so difficult about placing a few palace people in advance to gossip and fan the flames on the road that Prince Huan must pass?"

"Strict interrogation can lead to punishment. Among them, there are many murderers who killed and set fire last night."

The Emperor is also trying to appease Fu Shanyue and secretly let him vent his anger.

"Can the interrogation reveal anything?"

"It depends on the methods of the court judge." Fu Shanyue exhaled, "The Emperor said that the progress of the immortal medicine case must be supervised."

"By the way, on the way out of the palace, I also met several envoys from Baoshu Country, Xuluo Country, etc., all of whom came to express their condolences."

He Lingchuan understood that these countries, like Chi Yan, wanted to pursue the case of the elixir of immortality. As a result, the prince of Chi Yan was in danger twice in Lingxu City. They not only came to express their condolences, but also expressed their support to strengthen his reputation. The investigation of the elixir case was initiated by the Chiyan Kingdom, and all the demon kingdoms had the same interests in this regard.

Helping Chiyan Country means helping themselves.

He Lingchuan also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Prince Huan committed murder and set fire, and the royal family was greatly at fault. Then neither the emperor nor Bai Ziqi would want to provoke the Chiyan people again. And God has also tested He Lingchuan and will not touch him again for the time being.

This most powerful official force is limiting itself, which is great news for He Lingchuan.

"By the way, the emperor wanted me to move back to Floating Island, where the security is better. Well, I declined, saying that it would be more convenient to go to the city to track down and follow up. The emperor pointed me to the Pianxiang Villa in Qilin Mountain, where I can live. It is the old house of the guilty minister Chunyu. Their family was convicted seven years ago and their property was confiscated. The palace has been selling it for so many years. "

"It seems that he was once a wealthy man."

Lingxu City is really full of powerful people, and there are as many rich people as dogs.

"Of course. The Chunyu family has been operating in Lingxu City for more than two hundred years. They have served two prime ministers. They have a huge family income and countless industries. They are not comparable to the upstarts from a small family."

He Lingchuan wondered: "Then how did his house fall?"

A family with such a big tree and deep roots usually grows a giant tree in the local area. It is easy for no one to touch it, let alone expect it to decline in its own family fortune.

Usually only changes in the world and irresistible external forces will cause it to decline along the way.

Fu Shanyue glanced outside the door twice and lowered his voice subconsciously:

"It's a different day."

"Huh?" I don't understand.

"The new emperor came to power ten years ago." Fu Shanyue coughed lightly, "Before that, the Chunyu family was in the wrong position and once severely compromised the current emperor."

He Lingchuan let out a long "Oh" and understood.

Just like Hong Chenglue, he misjudged.

The Chunyu family has been around for more than two hundred years. They have probably seen all the storms in Lingxu City, but they have never experienced a dynasty change. After all, the late emperor reigned for more than three hundred years.

Isn’t this? Inexperience made mistakes.

Make mistakes and pay the price.

"Why don't you go and live in this Pianxiang Villa?"

"That was appointed by the emperor, there is no reason to explain it." Fu Shanyue smiled bitterly, "If you don't go, you can't do it. Moreover, the emperor blamed the Nancheng official office for the poor security and wanted to transfer people from Tongxinwei to protect Pianxiang Villa."

"What the hell!" He Lingchuan lost his voice.

Isn’t this protective custody?

It's called protection, but it's actually surveillance. Prince Chiyan caused so much trouble as soon as he entered Lingxu City, the emperor simply put him under his nose and sent people to stare him to death.

They were sent by Tongxinwei, who had a personal grudge against them.

It’s not that enemies don’t get together, the emperor did it on purpose, right?

It stands to reason that this kind of designated residence is semi-compulsory and semi-house arrest in nature. If it is used on the demon king and the prince who have not committed any crime, it will easily cause backlash and intensify conflicts between the two parties.

The Demon Emperor probably didn't do this normally, but Fu Shanyue was attacked twice. In order to ensure the personal safety of Prince Chiyan, isn't this a sufficient reason?

I sent people to keep an eye on you for your own good.

"It's probably because you were so aggressive at Lingxiao Peak that you embarrassed the emperor." No matter how much the prince of Fan Yao Kingdom takes Qiao, the emperor can take revenge with just a flip of his hand.

Fu Shanyue touched his nose.

Indeed, when he sued Da Si Nong earlier, it was a bit... fiery, and the emperor's explicit and implicit suggestions were useless, so he must be angry.

If he hadn't been the master of suffering, the emperor might have told him to get out.

"Actually, if you think about it at the best, the Fan brothers themselves are also uncomfortable. They have to look after the house and guard the gate for their enemies, and there are more people watching and pointing. If something happens to you, the emperor will only ask them, and The punishment will definitely not be lighter next time." He Lingchuan patted him on the shoulder, "Besides, what a blessing it is to choose a villa for nothing in the imperial capital, and it was given to you by the emperor himself."

Pan Shan's residence has been destroyed. As the prince of Chiyan, Fu Shanyue really needs a fixed residence in the lower city. He also has so many subordinates to settle down. Originally, Pan Shan's residence was too small and could not accommodate so many people. The emperor's designated mansion can be considered thoughtful if it is not mixed with other personal thoughts.

Fu Shanyue grinned. He had not thought about it from the perspective of the Fan brothers before.

When He Lingchuan said this, he felt much more comfortable.

But He Lingchuan knew in his heart that the emperor was killing two birds with one stone.

Both the gods and the emperor were pursuing clues about Dafang Hu. Fu Shanyue appeared in both places Bai Ziqi investigated, so it was logical that he became one of the suspects.

The emperor pressed him into Pianxiang Villa so that he could monitor his every move.

This move was performed beautifully and made Fushan Yue silent. He was truly worthy of being a king of a country.
