Chapter 43: The Man Behind the Scenes
As soon as Lan Ying finished speaking, Yang Wanli couldn't help but asked, "So this matter is really related to the royal family?"
Lan Ying shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. The person behind the scenes might be using this to deliberately sow discord between the martial arts world and the royal family."
Yang Wanli looked at him with a unhappy expression.
Seeing this, Lan Ying continued, "Through our investigation, apart from the emperor who has Chan Meng Xiang, only Prince Qi Xuanyun of Prince Yu's Mansion has it.
It is rumored that Prince Yu has been bedridden since childhood. If Chanmengxiang is used properly, it can relieve pain, so Prince Yu specially asked the emperor for it.
We have also investigated and found that the Chanmengxiang in Prince Yu's mansion was registered every time it was used, so there is no possibility of misappropriation. ”
What's more, this is the prince's life-saving medicine, and Prince Yu will not allow anyone to take advantage of Chan Mengxiang.
"The imperial court has been dissatisfied with the martial arts world for a long time. This matter is most likely instructed by the emperor?" Yang Wanshan said affirmatively with a cold light flashing across his face.
If it was really the emperor's order, he wouldn't mind killing him.
Lan Ying shook her head helplessly, and couldn't help but sigh when she thought of the results of her investigation.
Who could have thought that this incident would be related to the dispute over the throne that took place in the imperial court forty years ago? The more we investigate, the more frightened we become. I'm afraid the court and the martial arts world are going to be in chaos.
The person behind the scenes just wants to stir up the underworld and the court. No one knows how big his plan is.
Yang Wanshan frowned and asked, "Is there any other hidden secret?"
Lan Ying nodded, looking helpless, "In addition to the emperor and Prince Yu's palace, there is another person who once owned Chan Mengxiang."
The three of them were shocked and asked at the same time, "Who?"
Lan Ying looked at the three people and spoke slowly, "Do the three seniors remember the disaster that happened forty years ago?"
"Forty years ago?" Yan Yunchu's expression tensed and he had some guesses in his mind.
"Could it be that incident?" Jiang Chonglin also moved.
Lan Ying nodded and said, "Forty years ago, there was a palace coup in Dayong. Prince Xuande led his personal soldiers to rebel and besiege the palace. The current emperor came to the rescue and the massive rebellion ended. At that time, Prince Xuande was shot and injured by an arrow from the current emperor. The struggle for the throne came to an end and the then King Yi became the new ruler of Dayong."
Yan Yunchu frowned. Back then, Prince Xuande was quite famous in the martial arts world, not only because of his powerful martial arts, but also because of his kindness to the people.
But no one expected that the famous Prince Xuande would eventually embark on a path of treason, which is truly sad.
Yang Wanshan held Lan Ying's hand and said, "What's going on? Tell me now!"
He no longer wanted to look at the investigation results in his hand. He just wanted to hear him say who had harmed his daughter.
Lan Ying took a deep breath, his expression difficult to read, "I have found out that when Crown Prince Xuande was arrested for treason, he was unwilling to be humiliated, so he took the Crown Princess and the loyal servants of the Crown Prince's Mansion and set fire to the Crown Prince's Mansion, ending his life in a tragic way."
Yang Wanshan frowned, "Speak to the point."
Is this what he wanted to hear? He just wanted to know who murdered his daughter.
Lan Ying looked helpless and continued, "In the end, it was the prince's personal guards who didn't want to see the prince's bloodline cut off, so they risked their lives to rescue the prince's youngest son, which prevented the prince's bloodline from being cut off."
Yang Wanshan frowned, his face gloomy, and he had a bad feeling in his heart, "So, what you mean is..."
Lan Ying nodded, "You are right. The one who arranged all this was not the imperial court, nor the Xuanyin Sect or the Shenji Camp, but the descendants of the Crown Prince Xuande."
Yang Wanshan staggered.
Prince Xuande had also been around the world in the past, so he had some impression of him.
But he never expected that it would be his descendants who killed his daughter.
Lan Ying sighed and continued, "This descendant of Prince Xuande is good at forbearance and strategy. He used the special properties of Chan Mengxiang to make us mistakenly believe that the court wanted to take action against our major sects in Jianghu, so that we would confront the court."
Lan Ying: "As for whether the Xuanyin Sect, the Shenji Camp, and the Taishan Sect are cooperating with the imperial court or with the descendants of the Crown Prince Xuande, based on the current investigation results, it is not completely certain."
This is also the brilliance of the person behind the scenes.
After all, who knows whether the person who is in contact with the cult and Taishan Sect is from the imperial court or the person behind the scenes.
After listening to this, Jiang Chonglin couldn't help but take a breath.
"In this way, the man behind the scenes will be perfectly removed, allowing us to fight against the imperial court, the Shenji Camp, the Xuanyin Sect, and the Taishan Sect. When we are seriously injured, he will appear at the end and reap the benefits."
Yang Wanshan said slowly: "In the end, he can easily take over the imperial court, and weaken the strength of the martial arts sects, and become the actual person in power who controls the martial arts world and the imperial court."
Yan Yunchu couldn't help but say, "Even if we and the imperial court both suffer losses, the emperor has a good son, so it won't be his turn, right?"
Lan Ying smiled bitterly and explained, "The struggle for succession in the imperial court is getting more and more intense. The strength and strategy of the several princes are average. The only one who can be considered popular is Prince Yu. However, Prince Yu has few heirs, and Prince Yu's eldest son has been bedridden since childhood. Prince Yu's mother's family is not very powerful, so they cannot compete with the other princes."
Lan Ying: "The fight for the throne is extremely dangerous. Since he dared to make such a plan, it means that he does not take the emperor and his son seriously. If he wants to seize the throne, he will have to purge the royal family. It is said that there are many officials in the court who are loyal to Prince Xuande."
The three of them thought about it carefully and couldn't help but gasp.
This boy's scheming is really frightening.
"Since you have found out all this, have you found out who this person is and where he is now?" Yan Yunchu asked impatiently.
This boy is extremely scheming, and if he is not careful he might take them all into account. The consequences would be too serious, so we have to be on guard.
Lan Ying shook his head. "This man is very cunning. When we rushed over, the place was empty and there was no clue left. But we can be sure that this man has had contact with the court officials who were once loyal to Prince Xuande, and he even has people in the Supervisory Office."
Yang Wanshan's expression changed, and he looked at him in disbelief, "So, if I can't find the person, I can't avenge my son?"
Lan Ying: “…”
Yan Yunchu said, "Brother Yang, don't worry, we will definitely catch this man and avenge our niece Yunxi."
Jiang Zhonglin also comforted him, "Brother, since the other party came prepared, they must have a backup plan. Now that we know someone is deliberately causing disputes between the court and the martial arts world, we must not fall into their trap."
