Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 174 Behind the Scenes

Xie Xi took the veil and wiped it a few times on his face. The fragrance suddenly became full of fragrance. He felt that the fragrance was very good. He said with a smile: "Su Su is destined, how dare I not obey? I left Beijing last night to do something. I just returned to Beijing and heard that you had something to do here, so I ran over."

When Lin Zisu heard Xie Xi say this, she obviously valued herself very much. She was very happy, but said, "What I told you is not an urgent matter, and you don't have to panic like this."

The two chatted for a few words, and Lin Zisu talked about what he had seen in the clinic yesterday and listened to Xie Xi.

Liuying had already told Feng Renyuan a little bit, Lin Zisu added some details, and finally added his own guess and said: "I think that this group of foreigners in Shili Town have lived in Shili Town for more than ten years. If it were the spies in Beidi, they would have already penetrated into all parts of my Dayan."

Xie Xi looked solemn and nodded, "Su Su, this matter is crucial. I will ask my father for some people first. Let's go and investigate that Shili Town tomorrow."

After Lin Zisu finished talking about the Shili Town, Xie Xi then told Lin Zisu about his departure from the city.

Since that day, Xie Yan denied the proposal of marriage, so Xie Xi asked someone to inquire. The person who came to Lin’s mansion to propose marriage was the wife of Kang Chaoguang, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Kang Chaoguang, the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was from Guanzhong and was once the second place, which was considered to be a talent. However, he had no foundation in the court and had to hold a free position in Guanglu Temple. It was not until a few years ago that he did several things that were very consistent with the emperor's birthday, and then he was promoted to the position of Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

The Ministry of Rites has always been a gathering place for the party in Shannan Township. In recent years, many ministers of the Ministry of Rites have all come from Shannan. Kang Chaoguang, an outsider, was out of place among the Ministry of Rites. In recent years, he was repeatedly excluded by Qian Minzhong, the Minister of Rites. If it weren't for the emperor's suppression, he would have been removed from office and released from office.

After Xie Xi asked clearly, he sent someone to Kang Chaoguang's mansion.

Now Xie Yan has been imprisoned in the imperial prison, and King Wei has been placed under house arrest. To outsiders, the King Wei’s mansion is a crime that cannot survive, and he is afraid that he will not escape the blame.

After saying this, Xie Xi was afraid that Lin Zisu would not know Xie Hui's character, and said, "My second brother has been very good at calculating since he was a child. If he was the person behind the scenes, it would be no surprise. But he didn't know what kind of storm he wanted to cause."

At this time, Xie Xi knew in his heart that there must be something strange about Kang Chaoguang and had already made arrangements. Even if he found Kang Chaoguang, he would probably not be able to ask anything.

She remembered her previous life, where Xie Hui, together with Fang Luan and Zhang Ruogu, forced the palace together. Although she didn't know what would happen later, the hidden power of Xie Hui should not be underestimated.

Unlike Xie Xi's plan for himself, Xie Xi was just a prank, and this time, the person behind him was afraid that he wanted to drag her into endless storm.

Xie Xi simply told Lin Zisu several suspicious objects in his heart. When he talked about the second prince Xie Hui, Lin Zisu thought about it.

The Wei Palace was a first-class vassal king in Dayan. For many years, the censors were allowed to participate in the report and remained unmoved. In addition, the emperor was willing to protect him, so ordinary people would not lose any benefits when they came to the emperor to participate in the Wei Palace.

Lin Zisu said self-deprecatingly: "This person is much better than you. You used to plot against me and asked someone to go to the Zhuangyuan Building to spread rumors. He only had to find someone to come to my house to talk, and the city was full of storms."

The calculations here are one by one, aiming at Lin Zisu, but the one who hits Xie Xi's idea.

If this matter is only directed at the Wei Prince's Mansion, there is nothing to worry about, and I am afraid that the people behind the scenes will have some tricks.

After hearing Xie Xi say this, Lin Zisu frowned slightly and asked, "As for this, the proposal for marriage to me was not something that disgusted me by the Prince Wei Mansion, but it was also someone deliberately used a conspiracy?"

It was precisely because Mrs. Kang Chaoguang came to the Lin family to propose marriage that Xie Xi had heard of it and then went to the imperial court. Xie Xi then implicated what the King Wei Mansion did to the emperor, and then he made the move to investigate the King Wei Mansion.

Lin Zisu deeply agreed and nodded with a serious look.

In Corning's mansion, Xie Xi and Lin Zisu deduced the plot behind the scenes. However, Xie Hui, who was mentioned by both, was furious at the residence of Xisansu.

Only people like Xie Xi dared to make trouble in front of the emperor without hesitation. The emperor was worried about causing a big mess and had to pay attention to this matter.

But in Xie Xi and Lin Zisu's hearts, there are hidden worries.

The news he received was that Kang Chaoguang was promoted and went to the river to make up for the lack of the governor of the river and had already set off a day ago.

There are only a few people in the capital who can inspire Kang Chaoguang, so it is better to go back to Beijing and make plans.

Lin Zisu raised her eyes and told Xie Xi what she thought.

Lin Zisu remembered the bet between Xie Xi and Xu Wentao a few months ago. In order to win the bet, Xie Xi did not hesitate to fabricate rumors and spread them widely in the capital.

Xie Xi hurried out of Beijing to chase after him, led his men to chase him along the official road for a long time, and chased him to the land of the river, but he still failed to catch up with the convoy where Kang Chaoguang took office.

Just like the emperor was poisoned, it seemed that the emperor had a disease on the surface, but if you look deeper, you will find that Bei Di was involved.

Standing in front of Xie Hui was an old eunuch dressed in blue.

Looking back on this incident, the people behind the scenes obviously knew a lot about the movements in Beijing, and also knew that Xie Xi and Lin Zisu had a very unusual relationship, so they borrowed the name of King Wei's Mansion to propose marriage to the Lin family.

This time, the person behind the scenes was more straightforward than Xie Xi did, and she sent someone to her mansion to propose marriage. She was a celebrity of the emperor in the mouth of the people in the capital. This rumor was not pushed at all, but was directly transmitted to Xie Xi's ears.

When Lin Zisu mentioned the past without any worries, Xie Xi felt relieved and smiled: "There are only a few people who can call Kang Chaoguang. I will ask someone to ask who Kang Chaoguang is colluding with."

If Xie Hui is targeted, then he and Xie Xi will have a lot of trouble.

Xie Xi smiled and said, "Xie Yan has always been my second brother's minion. My second brother is willing to cut off his arm. That is, Xie Yan is a dog, and it has no value in my second brother."

Xie Xi nodded and said, "Yes, the mastermind behind this scene is a master, and even my reaction is calculated."

If you distinguish it carefully, it is not difficult to recognize that the person dressed in eunuch was actually the old man named Yu Shizhong.

After a while, Xie Hui had smashed a set of cups and plates from the front, and threw a piece of Tianhuang paperweight on the table to the ground. The paperweight fell to the ground, and a corner was missing.

Master Yu knew the value of these things, and a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.

Xie Hui was angry for a while, and finally calmed down a little, saying in a deep voice: "How did that Kang Chaoguang do things? Didn't he ask him to find someone to propose marriage to Miss Lin Er? Why did he propose marriage to that girl Lin Zisu?"
