Chapter 86 It’s scary to think about it carefully

Chapter 86: Terrifying Thoughts

Ye Xuan snorted coldly and was about to order Wang Feihu to put Zhao Wu in jail when he suddenly felt his arms twitching.

When I lowered my head, I met a pair of red and swollen eyes.

"Sir, you must help me and catch the murderer who secretly planned to kill my parents!"

With a sigh, Ye Xuan did not answer directly, but looked at Wang Feihu again and said, "Take him down, draw a portrait of the mysterious man, and issue a city-wide wanted notice!"

Wang Feihu clasped his fists and accepted the order, "Yes, sir."

Ye Xuan patted Liu Ruyan's back gently and tried to comfort her. However, Liu Ruyan was too sad at the moment and did not respond to Ye Xuan's words.

…………

The next day.

Mao Xiang held Zhao Wu's confession and sneered. He then looked at Ye Xuan who was sitting opposite him and said, "Ye Xuan, what do you think of this case?"

Ye Xuan frowned slightly and said calmly: "Someone wants to throw dirty water on us Jinyiwei, and Fatty Huang has become the target."

Mao Xiang snorted coldly and said, "It's not bad luck. He was chosen on purpose."

Ye Xuan smiled slightly and didn't respond.

With Fatty Huang's ostentatious personality, he wanted the whole world to know about his promotion to deputy captain.

It's no surprise that it's targeted by people with ulterior motives.

The only strange thing is that although the Jinyiwei had offended almost half of the civil and military officials in the court, there was still a small number of them who were wary of him.

However, if anyone really dares to design the Jinyiwei, even the three dukes and nine ministers would probably think twice.

After all, the Jinyiwei had just overthrown Yang Xian, the left prime minister of the Secretariat, and his head is still hanging at the gate of the Dali Temple to intimidate all officials.

To dare to attack the Jinyiwei at a time like this, one must not only be a powerful servant, but also a brave and intimidating person.

This time the person must be extremely conceited and he is sure that he will never let the Royal Guards catch him after taking action.

Mao Xiang pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you found any clues about that mysterious person?"

Ye Xuan shook his head, his eyes deep as he said, "I guess even that mysterious person is just a pawn thrown out by the real mastermind behind the scenes."

"Now that their plan has failed, I guess that mysterious person has been silenced long ago."

Mao Xiang nodded and said solemnly: "I think so too."

Ye Xuan said: "Sir, the real culprit behind the scenes has not been found, how should this case end?"

Ye Xuan was still thinking about the promise he had made to Huang Ying to rescue Fatty Huang.

Mao Xiang sighed and said, "I will report this matter to His Majesty in secret. The person behind this dared to plot against the Imperial Guards. I'm afraid that he doesn't even take the Emperor seriously."

Ye Xuan also nodded heavily, but had no plan.

The nature of this matter is so terrifying that it makes people think about it carefully. Given Ye Xuan's personality, he already regrets getting involved.

No matter whether the person behind the scenes wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife, murder the Liu couple, or had a personal grudge against Fatty Huang, it didn't matter if they framed him.

But all signs indicate that the person behind the scenes is targeting the entire Jinyiwei.

This makes people think deeply. Even if they have a grudge against the Jinyiwei, the worst that can happen is impeachment, or it is understandable to trip up the Jinyiwei within their ability.

After all, everyone knows that the Jinyiwei was supported by Zhu Yuanzhang. To deal with the Jinyiwei is to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang! Mao Xiang put away his worry, stood up, patted Ye Xuan on the shoulder, and said with admiration: "Wei Qingming is good in everything, but he is too indecisive. How about being a deputy captain and helping him for me?"

Ye Xuan immediately complained in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to promote me to be a captain, and the commander of the secret guards, but I didn’t agree.

You are just a deputy captain, and you want me to give up my dream of being a nobody. You are looking down on me.

Thinking this in his heart, Ye Xuan said very humbly: "Captain Wei is mature and steady, and is exactly the person I need to learn from. I am still very young and I am afraid I am not capable enough!"

Mao Xiang smiled meaningfully and said inexplicably: "I knew you wouldn't agree. You are indeed someone who refused the position of a thousand households that the emperor himself promised."

After saying that, he patted Ye Xuan on the shoulder, took the case file and confession of Fatty Huang and left the room.

Ye Xuan was the only one left standing there in a daze, his brain working at full speed.

When Zhu Yuanzhang proposed to promote Ye Xuan to the position of a thousand households, Mao Xiang was not present. How did he know about this?

Did Zhu Yuanzhang tell him?

Ye Xuan's intuition told him that this possibility was not high.

How did he know the pulse condition? And what was the intention behind it being mentioned seemingly unintentionally today?
Beat? Or shock?
"Is this old fox afraid that I will replace him?"

Ye Xuan shook his head and left the room.

The whereabouts of the mysterious man are unknown, and he is very likely to have been killed, which means that the clues of this case have been cut off, and it would be a waste of time to continue investigating.

So this case can basically be declared closed.

After understanding the final details, Ye Xuan could finally slack off again and sneak back home to catch up on some sleep.

Last night, Ye Xuan was busy getting Zhao Wu's confession and sending Liu Ruyan home until midnight. He got up without sleeping for a while and went to the Pacification Office to report the case to Mao Xiang.

Now that I’m done with this, I have to go back and have some sleep.

After returning home and taking a look at the potatoes that were growing well, Ye Xuan had a good sleep.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already dark.

It just so happened that Qiuyan had already prepared dinner with Xia Yu, so Ye Xuan sat at the table and prepared to live a wonderful life of eating and sleeping, but Chunfeng walked in with two people.

The two figures, one big and one small, were the brother and sister Huang Fatty and Huang Ying, who still looked a little haggard.

Fatty Huang pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly and was about to say something when Huang Ying beside him knelt down with a plop.

Just as he was about to kowtow, he saw his elder brother still standing there in a daze. He could not help but tug at Fatty Huang's arm, "Brother, you were able to return safely thanks to Lord Ye's help. Why don't you kowtow to your benefactor?"

Fatty Huang pulled his grabbed arm awkwardly and whispered, "Sister, I've told you so many times, what kind of relationship do you have with Lord Ye? We don't talk about this!"

Huang Ying indeed held her head up stubbornly and said, "Friendship is friendship, and kindness is kindness!"

As she spoke, her expression became stern, not like a younger sister, but more like an older sister who had raised a jerk brother. She simply stopped calling him brother and asked directly:

"Fatty Huang, I'm asking you again, are you going to kneel or not?"

"This...this..., I surrender to you!" Fatty Huang said helplessly, his knees softened and he was about to kneel down.

Ye Xuan was quick-witted and stepped forward to help Fatty Huang, saying, "Brothers, if you kowtow to me, won't that ruin my fortune?"

"Come on, come on, get up!"
