Xie Changkang felt that he was great to be able to get close to Prince Yu. After all, no one had his ability. Xie Yunzhuo, who the Xie family had always placed high hopes on, was demoted. It was a failure that no one in such a big family could get close to the rich and powerful. And now that he was close to Prince Yu, the benefits he would receive in the future could not be measured in money.

On the way back, he asked Lu Hai beside him: "Have the people who went with him come back?"

"Not yet."

Xie Changkang frowned, having a bad feeling, and went back home first.

At night, Xie Changkang was subdued at home by someone around him. This person was his most trusted subordinate, who couldn't help but ask: "Why did you betray me!"

Lu Hai's eyes were cold and he said calmly: "My name is Lu Hai."

Xie Changkang widened his eyes and said, "He is still alive!"

The door opened, Xie Yunxiao stepped in and said, "Yes, he's still alive. Are you disappointed?"

"Then, my father, was it you who did this?"

Xie Yunxiao found a seat and said calmly, "You know I have the ability to kill you, why haven't I killed you yet? If it weren't for the fact that we are all members of the Xie family, do you think you would be alive until now?"

Xie Changkang's eyes were fierce, and he gritted his teeth and said, "How dare you betray your master and ancestors! Beast!"

Xie Yunxiao said calmly with a cold look in his eyes: "Although you didn't die in my hands, you..."

"Who has it?" Xie Changkang has always suspected the death of Xie Changsheng.

Xie Yunxiao snorted coldly, "You don't know!"

Xie Changkang thought that since he had Xie Yunxiao's people around him, his father would naturally have some around him. He didn't expect that he was so cunning. Thinking of his father being in the Xie family at that time, and Xie Xinnian being the head of the family, he couldn't help but ask, "Is it Xie Xinnian?"

No, he was only fourteen years old at that time. He thought of a figure and said, "It's her! You are General Qilin!"

"No wonder, you kicked me out as soon as you took office, because you were afraid that I would do something bad. What do you want to do!"

Xie Changsheng is naturally smart in the Xie Mansion, but it is a pity that his intelligence is never used in the right way.

Xie Yunxiao had a cold face and did not respond. Indeed, he knew too much and could not stay.

Gu Xinghui walked into the house leisurely and said, "There are quite a few women and children in the house." He then found a seat and said to the man lying on the ground, "Are you Xie Changkang, the sinister boy?"

He had heard Xie Yunxiao talk about this man since he was a child. He was the most sinister brother. But today, he was far inferior to Xie Yunxiao.

"Prince Hui!" Xie Changkang couldn't believe it. How could Xie Yunxiao be in cahoots with Prince Hui?

He had an instinctive fear of the royal family. The higher up the person was, the easier it would be to kill him or her than to crush an ant.

"You have a good eye."

"What does Prince Hui want to do?"

Gu Xinghui curved his lips and said, "It's nothing, just tell me exactly how you bought the position."

This was aimed at Prince Yu. Xie Changkang refused and remained silent. Being an enemy of Prince Yu would also mean death.

Gu Xinghui said slowly: "It's fine if you don't want it."

He ordered Cheng Lin, "Go and bring me his eldest son."

"Yes!"

"Wait!" People have weaknesses, especially when their lives are controlled by others, it is the most frightening. He never thought that one day he would fall into the hands of King Hui.

Now it seems that the family rules are right, and he is seeking his own death. He turned to Xie Yunxiao and kowtowed, saying: "Let's grow up together, and the child will call you uncle, please."

Prince Hui couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you say he was your relative when you were colluding with Prince Yu?"

The sound of his kowtow was his regret. Now he was a fish on the chopping board, a pawn in this political struggle. It was too late to regret. He said, "I was wrong, I was wrong. I will do anything if you let them go."

The sound of his kowtows became louder and louder, and it was obvious that he was jumping to death.

Prince Hui immediately spoke up, "Stop him!"

Finally, he knocked heavily on Xie Yunxiao's foot, but Xie Yunxiao did not move, only frowned. He said condescendingly: "You are afraid of Prince Yu, I will teach you, just give up the people in Duke Du's Mansion who gave you the position. I will protect your wife and children."

Xie Changkang was being held captive, unable to move. He looked up at Xie Yunxiao and said, "Swear!"

Xie Yunxiao said calmly: "I don't bother to swear, you can believe it if you want."

A single word was more convincing than an oath. Xie Changkang believed it. He knew Xie Yunxiao and said, "Okay."

Xie Changkang was picked up and taken away.

The matter did not escalate immediately, and Xie Changkang handed it over to the Ministry of Justice, whose assistant minister was in charge of the case of buying official positions. The people involved were related to the previous matter of buying and selling official positions, so the new and old accounts were presented together not in the court, but in the emperor's study, Wende Hall.

Prince Hui did not show up, but the official who was in charge of the matter did. Even if there are fish that slip through the net, their power should not be underestimated.
