Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 433 Ye Chutang (Part )

Shen Yanchuan tilted his head, as if considering how to start his speech.

Finally, he gave the simplest and most straightforward sentence:
"Lord Zhongyong is not that stupid."

Xie Anbai: "..."

The tense and tangled emotions in my chest were suddenly disrupted by these words.

I felt a little angry and a little aggrieved, but after thinking about it, I felt that what Shen Yanchuan said was right.

In the end, Xie Anbai had no choice but to open the fan in annoyance and cover his face with it.

A muffled voice came out——

"……you're right."

If something happens to Xiao Chengxuan, those who are involved with him will definitely be investigated.

Xie Anjun is one of them!

It's only a matter of time before we find him.

Shen Yanchuan was not surprised by this: "Since he married that girl, it's not surprising that he would choose this way."

Before today, Xiao Chengxuan had always been the most powerful candidate for the crown prince.

It is understandable that Xie Anjun would choose to stand with him.

But no one expected that things would turn out like this today.

Xie Pei is an old fox who has never made his position clear. Who knew that Xie Anjun was so anxious.

Now even if I want to cut off all ties with Xiao Chengxuan, I can't.

Although Xie Anjun was involved in the incident, the entire Loyalty and Bravery Marquis Mansion was inevitably implicated.

——Isn’t it what I deserve for not being able to control my son?! ?

Xie Anbai got a headache whenever he thought about this.

He also didn't expect that his good brother could be so stupid!
Given the status of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, no matter who wins in the end, they will be polite to them.

Why bother to wade into this muddy water?

Now, the deeper you are involved, the more faults you will make!

But it's too late to say anything now.

With the downfall of Xiao Chengxuan, sooner or later the investigation will reach the people below.

Xie Anbai couldn't help but ask: "When did you know this?"

Shen Yanchuan said frankly: "Changzhou."

Xie Anbai was stunned: "You mean..."

Yes, didn’t Shen Yanchuan lead people to Changzhou to investigate Xu Jie?
Looking at Shen Yanchuan's calm and indifferent appearance, Xie Anbai felt a little nervous again.

"So...what did you find out?"

Of course, what he asked was in addition to what was said in the court.

Xie Anbai always had a hunch that Shen Yanchuan still had reservations.

Even though he and Xiao Chengxuan had completely fallen out.

Shen Yanchuan smiled and asked with interest, "What do you think I can find out?"

Xie Anbai was speechless for a moment.

Xiao Chengxuan was ruthless in forming cliques for personal gain and excluding dissidents.

If he hadn't been facing Shen Yanchuan, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

Whether it is Huo Yucheng, Ye Zheng, or even Xu Jie, they will only become a handful of ashes under his feet.

Xie Anbai frowned and thought of another thing.

"The fire in the grain warehouse in Changzhou was also caused by Xu Jie on purpose?"

This is a very common item in Xu Jie's testimony.

His crimes were so numerous that they were difficult to list, and this incident was not even mentioned specifically in the court.

Shen Yanchuan nodded.

Xie Anbai felt a tightness in his chest. Even though he hated officialdom and never liked to discuss these things, he couldn't suppress his anger at this moment:
"He is playing with the lives of tens of thousands of disaster victims like this!?"

That is the granary for disaster relief!

Xu Jie was burned to death!

"Why would he do that? What good would it do him? He—"

Xie Anbai suddenly stopped.

The reason why Xu Jie would do such a thing at any cost is naturally because it is profitable.

Or maybe... burning the granary meant more to him than the crime of dereliction of duty.

A vague guess emerged in Xie Anbai's mind.

"Could it be... that there is something wrong with the granary?"

Shen Yanchuan didn't intend to hide it from him, so he nodded and said calmly:

"The government warehouse for relief in Changzhou is empty."

"What!?"

Xie Anbai sat up in disbelief, thinking he had heard it wrong.

"Empty? How is that possible? That's a government warehouse! It stores tens of thousands of tons of grain! How could it be empty? If it's empty, then where did all the grain go?"

Shen Yanchuan looked at him quietly.

Xie Anbai slowly opened his eyes.

"...You mean, Xiao Chengxuan..."

He paused suddenly.

He didn't say the rest of the words, but he was still filled with shock.

In order to gain military power, Xiao Chengxuan first tried to win over Huo Yucheng, and then wanted to join forces with Shen Yanchuan, but unfortunately both failed.

In this situation, he is still hoarding food! ?
Xie Anbai opened his mouth, but in the end he only murmured:
“…He’s really crazy!”

Xie Anbai rubbed his face, but couldn't figure it out.

"Why would he do that?"

Although Xiao Chengqi's reputation has been rising in recent years, his foundation is weak. How could Xiao Chengxuan achieve such a state?
Once people become greedy, they will indeed fall into the abyss of desire and lose all reason.

Xie Anbai paced back and forth, hesitating for a long time before hesitantly asking:

"Then, these... you have reported all of them before?"

After returning from Changzhou, Shen Yanchuan went straight into the palace.

Now that he had found out all this, he should have submitted it to his superiors.

Shen Yanchuan said nothing and just drank a cup of tea.

Xie Anbai had already understood and was incredulous: "...Your Majesty actually allowed him to go this far?"

No wonder!
No wonder Shen Yanchuan chose to get involved and bring Xiao Chengxuan down!

If he hadn't reported it in court, that person would probably have continued to turn a blind eye and indulge Xiao Chengxuan!
But if that's the case, then——

"You just brought down Xiao Chengxuan like this. I'm afraid His Majesty will also be angry about you..."

Xie Anbai suddenly became worried.

Shen Yanchuan is indeed favored and valued by His Majesty, but no matter what, how can an outsider be compared with his own son?

Shen Yanchuan's move would definitely make Emperor Mu Wu feel resentful.

Xie Anbai thought for a long time before asking tentatively:

"You're not doing this just for yourself, right?"

This series of cases is so complicated that I don’t know how many people are implicated.

But Xie Anbai knew that there was one person among them who was extremely important.

——Ye Zheng.

Or, should I say...

Ye Chutang.
