Chapter 45 Xiao Shentian's Request
After reading Xiao Shentian's words, Xie Xunfeng nodded repeatedly and said, "Your Majesty, you said, as long as I can do it. I will definitely do my best."
Xiao Shentian glanced at Huangfu Chou.
Huangfu Chou still said to Xie Xunfeng expressionlessly, "With your help yesterday, we caught those assassins. After I took them back interrogation, I did get a lot of information. Your guess is right. The assassination case is closely related to the Jiaodong Yuan family and even Wu Guozhang! The most terrifying thing is that it is not just that. The assassins of the Yuan family revealed a lot of true and false information, not only involving the civil and military officials of the court, but also the princes and nobles! If we investigate according to the interrogation, Daxia will probably be in chaos. So, Your Majesty decided to put this matter aside and make it a small matter."
However, Xie Xunfeng already understood.
It seems that the Jiaodong Yuan family still has something.
Design it yourself and have them come to your door.
They knew there was a tiger in the mountain, but they still went there.
They made two plans, one of which was to kill Xie Xunfeng and his men.
The other set is the plan for being caught.
After being captured, these assassins leaked all the information they had prepared in advance to them .
There were a lot of true and false news mixed in it, but it involved almost all the nobles of Daxia.
Because there are so many people involved and it is so widespread.
The Yuan family was betting that the emperor would not dare to conduct a thorough investigation.
The emperor really didn't dare.
Because he didn't know how much of it was true or false?
If we wipe them out at once, Daxia will surely be in chaos.
Although Xie Xunfeng guessed what the emperor was going to do, he still pretended to be stupid at this time.
"Your Majesty, what do you want me to do?"
Xiao Shentian said with an unpleasant expression, "Actually, I didn't want to find you! After all, family disgrace should not be made public! If it weren't for Huangfu Chou's recommendation and Mo Xiaonian's support, I really wouldn't want to use you! However, seeing that your affection for the Third Princess doesn't seem to be fake, I think you are a person who can be trusted."
Xie Xunfeng looked at Xiao Shentian without responding.
Xiao Shentian stared at Xie Xunfeng and said, "If I can protect you, can you tell me the truth? Are you pretending to be stupid, or is there someone behind you?"
Xie Xunfeng looked at Xiao Shentian and said, "Your Majesty, can I trust you?"
Xiao Shentian nodded to Xie Xunfeng and said, "Of course you can trust me. If you help me this time, I will definitely help you! You still have a blood feud, right? With your own strength, it would be as difficult as climbing to heaven to seek revenge on the Great Zhou!"
Xie Xunfeng had a very accurate intuition about people, and he felt that Xiao Shentian was in urgent need of help at this moment.
"I'm pretending to be stupid to protect myself!" Xie Xunfeng replied to Xiao Shentian.
After hearing what Xie Xunfeng said, Xiao Shentian's eyes lit up.
There is no hiding anymore.
"According to some confessions they revealed to me yesterday, many people in Longyang have been infiltrated by the Jiaodong Yuan family. Not only that, there are also princes from various places, and the princes behind me. Their Yuan family dared to reveal this information to me so boldly. They wanted to challenge me, but it also shows that they already have enough confidence! There must be false information in those lists . If we investigate it in a high-profile manner, it will definitely make some people who have no intention of rebelling against me feel resentful! Let the Yuan family succeed! Therefore, I want to order you to investigate secretly! Find out the relationship network of the Jiaodong Yuan family." Xiao Shentian said with a frown.
"Why me?" Xie Xunfeng said to Xiao Shentian.
Xiao Shentian smiled bitterly and said, "Because you are not from Daxia! Moreover, your background is very clean! Moreover, you have the reputation of a fool to cover it up! No one will doubt you!"
"Moreover, you have been bullied by the powerful people in Longyang City over the years! You hate these powerful people! More importantly, you love my daughter. I think that as long as you pretend to be stupid, I am willing to trust you! Also, from the arrogant posture of the Yuan family, it can be seen that Longyang City has been infiltrated during the years when I was on the expedition. Except for Huangfu Chou and Chang Shi, there is no one around me who is worthy of my trust!"
