When Qin Xu was stirring up trouble in the imperial city.

The Ninth Prince was sweating profusely in front of the Holy Emperor.

He handed over the photo stone.

The Holy Emperor's face turned gloomy after reading it.

"Do you think your second brother would do that?"

"I don't know."

"I don't know. Even though you knew, and knew your second brother wouldn't do that, you still brought this to me."

With a bang, the photo stone was thrown to the ground in front of the Ninth Prince, and the fragments cut the Ninth Prince's cheek.

"What do you want to do?"

Feeling the blood flowing on his face, the Ninth Prince's ferocity was aroused.

"I don't know if it was my second brother, but the evidence shows it was him. I have to ask him why he didn't let me go even though I was exiled to such a poor and remote place."

"I'm covered in wounds. How can these brothers have the heart to bear it?"

The Holy Emperor could feel the resentment in the Ninth Prince’s words, and even the hatred in his heart.

He never mentioned himself in every sentence, but was talking about his father.

"Forget about this matter. I will investigate and give you an explanation. Once you have recovered from your injuries, return to Bibo Mansion."

"Father! Why do you treat me like this?"

The ninth prince also risked his life.

"The moment I leave the Imperial City, I will die. You might as well kill me now."

"Do you really want to take my position? When you were little, you liked to be free and easy, but now you have forgotten that? I gave you freedom and let you leave the imperial city, but now I don't even recognize you anymore!"

"Father, at this point, I am not afraid of any crime of disrespect. I have changed, but you haven't changed?"

"Imperial City, I will not leave. I have already fought for the position of crown prince. You may punish me now."

The Holy Emperor's face was extremely gloomy. After all, his eldest son was talking back to him in a very tricky way.

But there was some tenderness and relief in his eyes.

How much like my former self.

At that time, he also participated in the competition for the crown prince, using all means and tricks.

Finally I got this position.

The appeal of this location is indeed great.

"Well, it's up to you. I'll leave the case to you. Just handle it yourself."

"Father..."

"I was wrong. You haven't changed. You are still as stubborn as when you were little."

"Go ahead, get down."

This was the first time the Ninth Prince saw his father and showed this expression.

At some point, he softened his heart.

If you don't want to make him sad, you have to tell him to go back to Bibo Mansion.

You can see that location and think about what that location represents.

He still gritted his teeth.

He turned and left the hall without looking back.

A eunuch appeared in the hall and silently picked up the fragments of the shadow stone on the ground.

"Xiaojiu, find someone to keep an eye on it."

"yes."

"He is exactly like me when I was young. He thinks he has some intelligence, is self-confident and a little conceited. He won't listen to other people's advice. He has a very stubborn temper and sometimes likes to go to extremes."

"I guess I was just like I am now, a little too ungrateful."

"well."

A heavy sigh was heard in the hall.

Soon the two pieces of news spread throughout the imperial city, and even throughout the provincial capital.

"The Ninth Prince brought the talisman and invited the Second Prince to the lobby of the Ministry of Justice."

"The Holy Emperor has summoned the six ministries and the cabinet to select a crown prince."

Among these two explosive news, one is more explosive than the other.

It was news that Qin Xu had ordered his men to take away several minor officials from the Ministry of Works. This was news that could not be any smaller.

These minor officials are all of that kind of people who hold low positions but great power.

Qin Xu never looked down on minor officials in this position.

If they become greedy, they will be much more terrifying than those Yuanwailang, Langzhong, Shilang, and even Shangshu.

He planned to find a group of such petty officials to take action against.

Now the high officials in the imperial city are all nervous, waiting for a storm, so it is really not appropriate for him to jump out and look for the scene.

Be steady.

First, take back the spiritual stones and crystals that these petty officials have kept for him. It would be a waste if they were in their hands.

The other thing is to send a signal to the monks in the imperial city.

He is not joking, he will really check.

Up and down, can we come and look for Qin?

Regardless of anything else, at least you have to express an attitude.

He had been in office for many days, but not a single monk had come to see him. The local officials were so rude.

"Sir, the criminals have been arranged, please take a look..." The voice of an inspector interrupted Qin Xu's thoughts.

"Tell the brothers that if the amount found during the investigation can be seized, the 20% will be yours."

"Sir...sir...it's against the rules."

"The Overwatch Council is being reformed, and the emperor has granted special permission. If anything goes wrong, I will be responsible. Just do it."

"Don't worry, sir. We will do our best."

The Inspector didn't know what was wrong, but he felt very motivated.

Qin Xu was preparing to spend a lot of money in the imperial city.

He only wants 30% of the spiritual stones he has obtained, and the rest will be distributed to various parties according to certain proportions.

Every time the Supervisory Office makes a profit, one portion will go to the treasury and one portion will go to the superiors.

Manage your own little piece of land of the Supervisory Council well, use the spiritual stones to pave the way, and be invincible.

Going further, he wants to rely on spiritual stones to create a pure community of interests that does not discuss politics.

With the help of this community of interests, they seized the dynasty’s spiritual stones, spiritual crystals, and spiritual objects.

His target was the middle and lower level officials and the leaders of various prefectures and cities.

The Ministry of Industry was his first external target, and with the help of the Ministry of Industry, he made the Supervisory Council an ironclad entity and screened out those who were not sociable.

Departments like the Ministry of Industry have always been the hardest hit.

There are many places where he can take advantage of the situation.

For example, if a large formation is to be built in a certain place, they would make up some excuses, such as there are monsters or bandits nearby, or the labor cost is extremely high, and then make a false report.

If the people who monitor, allocate funds and apply for applications are all in the same group, then a world will be created in which only the Holy Emperor will be injured.

When all the monks focused their attention on the battle for the throne among the nine princes.

Qin Xu can slowly dig into the corners of the dynasty.

So when he heard that the Ninth Prince had come out of the palace, he "invited" the Second Prince, and he couldn't wait to take action against the Ministry of Works.

Originally, he planned to bring back the three ministers who had bailed out the fifth prince, and find an excuse to squeeze more money out of them.

Now I can only put it aside temporarily.

The atmosphere in the Punishment Hall is completely different from that here in Qin Xu.

Nangong Wuxin was feeling a little depressed and a little angry at the moment.

Who would understand? I was listening to music and fishing at home when I was taken away by my ninth brother.

He could never have imagined that the assassination of Xiaojiu could be related to him.

He doesn't fight or compete with his older brothers or younger brothers outside, and he will give way to them if possible.

He is gentle and modest, and has never gotten angry with anyone.

To say that he is a modest gentleman is not enough to describe him.

Even so, he was "invited" to the lobby of the Ministry of Justice by his ninth brother on the grounds of being "suspected mastermind behind the scenes."

This is what makes him depressed.

As for what makes me angry, I just don’t know whether it was done by the eldest brother or one of the younger brothers. Do they have any martial ethics at all?

Even someone as harmless as him was framed.

"Ninth brother, you know me well. Can I do such a thing?"

"We are brothers."

"Brother, I don't believe it either, but the facts are right here."

In front of the two of them was a photo stone that the Ninth Prince had just taken out.

"Slander, slander, he slandered me!"

"I'm not that mean, your second brother."

I added in my mind, if your second brother had taken action, you should have turned into ashes by now.

"Second brother, I believe everything you said, but..." The Ninth Prince pointed to the photo stone.

Nangong Wuxin was also a little speechless. You are going to fight for life and death with someone, and you still need to place the photo stone in advance?

Regardless of the details, now even if everyone thinks according to previous knowledge, the assassination has nothing to do with him.

But the moment you take out this photo stone, it will be a decisive blow.

What's more, no one dares to say that he really didn't do it.

The Ninth Prince looked at his second brother with a frown on his face, and felt a little happier.

Now it’s finally not him who is showing up.
