Xiao Lichen chased out of the hall, but Tao Yuwei was no longer there.
Thinking of what he had heard from her, he secretly instructed two Xiaoyu Guards working in the palace to pay more attention to the suspicious people around Emperor Jianchang.
Afterwards, he ordered people to send the children rescued from Funiu Mountain back to their respective homes.
He brought his personal bodyguard Hei Yan and several Xiao Yu guards and went to Huo Wei's home, where his entire family had been imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice.
When he arrived at the sealed Huo Mansion, he sat in a wheelchair and was pushed by Hei Yan into Huo Wei's study.
In the study, he indeed found the painting that Tao Yuwei mentioned.
He got a list of people from the painting.
Without bothering to read the contents above, Xiao Lichen hurried away with the list.
Inside the Xinwang Palace.
After hearing the news that the guard Yin Gen had inquired about from the palace, the eighth prince Xiao Chengyan was so angry that his whole body was shaking and his eyes were red.
"Xiao Lichen actually blocked our Future Pawnshop. He deserves to die!"
Qiancheng Pawnshop is very important to him.
He had people open more than 20 pawnshops in various prosperous areas in the capital, monopolizing the entire pawnshop market in the capital.
He specializes in collecting very valuable items. Many old items are pawned. Qiancheng Pawnshop's booming business brings him a lot of money every month.
It was with these silver coins that he had the confidence to gather people and secretly win over talented people from all sides, including the martial arts world.
The other industries he owned only earned limited money.
His way of making money was uprooted in this way.
It was all thanks to that crippled guy, how could he not hate him?
"Your Highness, the soldiers from Funiu Mountain have been incorporated into the imperial court. Regarding the business in Nancheng, His Majesty has ordered the Xiaoyu Guard to rush to Lingzhou in the northwest to investigate. Should we eliminate those people there completely?"
Xiao Chengyan angrily punched the pearwood table, causing it to collapse with a loud bang. His hands were covered in blood, but he seemed not to feel the pain. His chest kept heaving, and there was a vicious light in his eyes.
His good cousin always made things difficult for him. Every time, he could accurately destroy his plans and he was almost becoming his nemesis.
He must find a way to get rid of this troublesome Xiao Lichen as soon as possible.
With Xiao Lichen around, it would be difficult for him to accomplish his great cause.
The business of human trafficking is very profitable. They carefully hid in the dirty and messy South City so that they would not be discovered by Xiao Yuwei.
It can be seen that these people's information network is pervasive and has reached a very precise level.
Xiao Lichen is not a person to be underestimated. In the past, he underestimated him.
From now on, he must take it seriously.
His good father was very good at dealing with his adult sons.
In order to curb the power in their hands, after these dragon sons came of age, they were only given a nice title, a royal mansion, and some imperial farms. They had no fiefdom, no real power, and were not allowed to participate in court affairs. They could only receive the monthly salary issued by the court to make a living, which almost undermined their rights.
This group of princes are considered the most aggrieved and least dignified princes in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It is even worse to suppress them than some ministers in the court.
As the emperor's biological son, he was not trusted, but his good father turned around and reused the son of his favorite uncle, Prince Yong.
All the real power and important positions were given to Xiao Lichen, who was very popular and looked more like a prince than these princes.
If you don’t know, you might think that Xiao Lichen is the emperor’s good son.
Why should he be treated differently?
Sooner or later, he will definitely trample Xiao Lichen under his feet.
Seeing that his master had hurt himself in anger, Yin Gen hurried over, took out a handkerchief and tried to wipe his hands, but Xiao Chengyan dodged it.
"We don't need to worry about the northwest. I'm sure my good uncle, the Prince of Junshan, is no pushover. If he tries to trip up Xiao Lichen, I'll be happy to sit back and watch the fight!"
"Fortunately, the master had foresight and took action in advance. Tian Linwen did not say anything nonsense before his death, which ruined the master's plan."
Yin Gen said thankfully.
When Xiao Chengyan heard the name Tian Linwen, he felt inexplicably lost.
He always felt as if he had lost something terrible.
