Xu Tianze happily stepped into the Third Prince's Mansion. He felt that he had gained a lot today. However, before he had taken a few steps, he heard the resentful voice of Long Musi behind him.
"You finally decided to come back. If you hadn't come back, I would have thought you were enjoying yourself in the brothel." Long Musi glared at him, his eyes full of resentment.
Xu Tianze turned around under Long Musi's death stare and scratched his head awkwardly: "How could that be? We finally got the clue we were missing. Why didn't we come back so quickly?"
Facing Xu Tianze's fawning look, Long Musi looked unhappy. If it weren't for the people below reporting that Xu Tianze was still quite well behaved and at most asked two young men to accompany him for drinks, he would probably have rushed in and tore Xu Tianze apart.
But even so, he was a little unhappy. You went to a brothel and didn't ask a beautiful woman to accompany you, but asked two young men. As if no one knew your preferences, it was wrong to ask women.
As expected, he shouldn't have let Xu Tianze go to that place. He had agreed too hastily.
"You'd better get reliable information, otherwise..." Long Musi looked at Xu Tianze with gritted teeth. He was unhappy and got angry when he saw Xu Tianze's smiling face.
Xu Tianze stepped forward, put his arm around his shoulders, and said mysteriously, "Don't worry, I'm doing the job, and you're still worried? I worked so hard to get this, you have to respect the fruits of my labor."
Long Musi smiled slightly, said nothing, and watched Xu Tianze's performance quietly.
No one cooperated, and Xu Tianze couldn't continue pretending, so he simply pulled Long Musi into the study and analyzed the evidence given to him by Xuedie together.
"The evidence is quite detailed. It seems that this person has been paying attention to it since your father and brother started investigating." Long Musi flipped through it again and again.
The color of this paper is a bit dark, and there are some traces of rubbing on the fine details. I guess it has been taken out and looked at repeatedly by people.
Such a person, who appeared inexplicably to offer help, was enough to make Long Musi wary, even if there was no conflict of interest for the time being. Moreover, he was able to receive such a secret clue spanning three years.
He must be a high-ranking and powerful figure in Shangjing City. As a rising star, he has no access to the affairs of the Xu family, and he has to oppose the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion or the Jiang family, so it must be those families.
"How credible is this evidence?" Xu Tianze nodded and directly asked the question that concerned him most.
He had also thought about what Long Musi was thinking, but for him, the enemy of his enemy was his friend. He didn't mind being used as a knife by others. As long as he could get revenge and learn about his father and brother from the emperor, he didn't care.
He originally thought that the Xu family was abandoned, but from the emperor's mouth, he heard that there was another hidden story, so he had to find out.
If his father and brother were still alive, he would also ask them if they really didn't mind the death of his mother and sister-in-law. Could they be so cruel?
"It's highly credible, and it also shows that Xu An is indeed in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, but not in Song Yu's hands." Long Musi pondered. He was also shocked by the news. He didn't expect there would be such an operation.
"What do you mean?" When Xu Tianze heard the news about his nephew, he walked around the desk and came to Long Musi.
After taking the letter from Long Musi and reading the contents, Xu Tianze looked at Long Musi with a strange look on his face. Xu An was in the hands of the old Duke of Zhenguo, but Song Yu didn't know about this.
The reason why Song Yu released the news that Xu An was in his hands was, just as Xu Tianze and the others thought, just to lure Xu Tianze back to the capital.
What was the purpose of the Duke of Zhenguo hiding Xu An? What role did he play when Song Yu took action against the Xu family?
"Perhaps we need to focus on checking the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion." Long Musi knocked on the table.
"You go and investigate. I'll bring down the Jiang family first." Xu Tianze gritted his teeth. He didn't want to drag it on any longer.
Since Song Yu released the news and the old Duke Zhenguo did not reveal it, he will definitely not reveal his true identity easily.
While Long Musi was investigating in secret, he was in the light, taking revenge, which could attract more attention and make it easier for Long Musi to act.
Long Musi nodded. He understood Xu Tianze's thoughts. Although Xu Tianze had always been heartless in the past three years, even revenge was just a joke.
But in fact, Long Musi knew Xu Tianze's eagerness for revenge, as well as the ruthlessness hidden under his unrestrained face, and his paranoia of not giving up until he achieved his goal.
He never thought that Xu Tianze had changed, so he had to say something about him. Why should he advise others to do good when he had not experienced their suffering?
He just wants to accompany Xu Tianze like this, accompany Xu Tianze to seek revenge, and accompany Xu Tianze to spend the rest of his life in peace. What else can he ask for?
"Your Highness, Mr. Jiang Liu of the Jiang family requests to see you." The old butler knocked on the study door at the right time.
Long Musi and Xu Tianze were stunned when they heard this, then they thought of something and looked at each other and nodded.
"Take it to the main hall, I'll be there soon." Long Musi took the letter from Xu Tianze's hand, opened the secret compartment and put it in, without forgetting to reply to the housekeeper.
"Your Highness, Mr. Jiang Liu specifically requested to see the young master." The butler hesitated a little, but answered again.
"Got it. Go ahead." Xu Tianze replied to the housekeeper and looked at Long Musi. "This Jiang Liuye was originally thinking about how to find an opportunity to contact him, but I didn't expect him to come to my door."
Mr. Jiang Liu is also a top figure in the capital, but he is not famous for his intelligence, but for his vanity and dissatisfaction with the second master of the Jiang family.
The second master of the Jiang family is also the current head of the Jiang family and the current Minister of Revenue. He is also a capable person who can stand out among the brothers of the Jiang family. Currently, the Ministry of Revenue is the main one among the six ministries.
Mr. Jiang Liu has been dissatisfied with Mr. Jiang Er for a long time, and has embarrassed Mr. Jiang Er in public several times. Now he comes to find Xu Tianze, probably because he wants to cooperate with Xu Tianze and pull Mr. Jiang Er down.
There was no need for Xu Tianze and Long Musi to think too much. They just needed to move to the main hall and meet Mr. Jiang, and they would know what his plan was.
As soon as Xu Tianze entered the main hall, he saw a fat man in yellow loose clothes. The fat on his face almost made his eyes invisible, but his expression was serious.
He carries an aura of power that makes people dare not underestimate him.
"Sixth Master Jiang came to the Third Prince's residence and asked to see my nephew by name. I wonder what he is doing?" Xu Tianze stepped in and sat directly on the main seat.
Before Mr. Jiang Liu stood up to answer, he saw Xu Tianze passing by him and even sitting directly in the main seat.
There was a glint of shrewdness in his eyes. He had always felt that Xu Tianze's status in the Third Prince's Mansion was not low. Now Xu Tianze's behavior of directly taking the main seat further confirmed his idea.
Since this is the case, there is no need to take the slight shame and anger that arose in my heart just now seriously.
As he thought about this, Sixth Master Jiang smiled and sat down on the chair again: "I came here because of Master Xu's plan to deal with the Jiang family."
