Chapter 196 Jue Ye
Ling Xiao felt that if he did not come out incognito, even if he sat high up in the court, he would only be greeted by officials and listen to their nonsense. He would be a blind man and would not be able to see what he wanted to see.
It was not until all the people in Beizhou starved to death that he learned about the epidemic here, but it was too late. Even with his great power, he could not save Beizhou.
Fortunately, he listened to Yier.
"Snapped!"
Damn it, Ling Xiao slammed his fist on the table again. These are the ministers he supported with so much money.
Ling Xiao was extremely angry. He was determined to clean out the corrupt officials in the court when he returned. He would never tolerate such corrupt officials devouring his Great Yan Dynasty.
Moreover, he would have to promote future officials from the general public.
Imperial examinations are the best way to select talents. Ling Xiao plans to focus on organizing the autumn examinations this year and next year after he returns.
"Master, An Thirteen is here."
At this moment, a guard came to report.
"Let him in."
Wasn’t An Shisan recuperating with Su Nanyi in the city? Why was he here now? It was obvious that he had something important to report to him.
Soon An Shisan was brought in.
"Greetings, my master." An Shisan immediately saluted.
"What are you doing here? What happened to the Madam and the Young Master?"
Ling Xiao asked nervously, and his heart started beating wildly as he asked.
An Shisan: "My Lord, the Madam and the Young Master are all fine. Madam sent her subordinates to help. Madam has captured Lord Jia. According to Lord Jia, the man behind him is called Lord Jue..."
An Shisan reported to Ling Xiao everything Su Nanyi had told him, and then took out a bag of pills and a letter.
Ling Xiao heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then he took out the letter to read it.
The letter was written by Su Nanyi. She described in detail the process of capturing Lord Jia and what she had learned during the interrogation.
After reading the letter, Ling Xiao couldn't calm down for a long time.
Lord Jue, this name made him think of a prince before the late emperor, a prince named Ling Jue.
He is the late emperor's uncle, so Ling Xiao should call him Uncle.
He was a prince who failed in the fight for the throne, and was exiled to Beizhou by Emperor Jingde at that time.
Just judging by his age, if he were still alive, he should be over eighty years old. According to Su Nanyi, that person is probably in his thirties, so that person should be Ling Jue's grandson.
If he is really the descendant of Ling Jue, then attacking him makes sense.
But why he was called Jue Ye, Ling Xiao had no idea, and he didn't have the mind to think about it.
"How is Lord Jia now? Was he killed by the Madam?" Ling Xiao asked.
An Shisan bowed and replied, "My Lord, I don't know. Madam didn't tell me."
Ling Xiao frowned and said, "I understand. Now that you are here, you don't have to go back. Go down and take a rest. I will assign you a task after your arm is healed."
"Yes, sir, I will take my leave."
An Shisan bowed and left.
Ling Xiao immediately wrote a reply letter and informed Su Nanyi of his situation. He told her for two reasons. One was to see if she had any good suggestions.
The second is to report safety to Su Nanyi.
Originally, Ling Xiao thought that since he had been staying here for quite some time, he wanted to bring the mother and her two children here. But thinking about what they had experienced and the man named Lord Jue who was eyeing him covetously, he decided to give up.
Let them go back. He is worried about the long journey.
Just let them wait in the small county town. The small county town is not conspicuous and should be safe.
After the letter was written, Ling Xiao sent an elite soldier to deliver the letter to Su Nanyi. On the other side, in an unknown village in Beizhou, from the outside, this village is no different from an ordinary village, but after entering the village, you will find that this village is very different.
The topography of this village is exactly as shown in the Bagua map. People who are not familiar with the topography will get lost when they enter the village.
In the center of the village, there is a house that looks like a palace.
Once entering the palace, people who are familiar with the court will find that the design of this hall is exactly the same as the Golden Palace where the emperor holds court.
At the top is the emperor's dragon throne. This chair is no different from the dragon throne the emperor sits on, and it is shining with gold.
There are nine steps on both sides, made of pure gold, which are bright enough to blind people's eyes.
Below that is the palace, with court officials standing on the left and right sides attending court, one side civil and the other military.
And on the golden dragon throne, sat a masked man wearing a bright yellow robe.
If Lord Jia were here, he would definitely recognize this as his master, Lord Jue.
His face couldn't be seen clearly under the mask, but his eagle-like eyes were staring at a letter on his desk.
The anger in his eyes almost burned the letter in front of him.
The content of the letter broke his calm heart.
His plan was perfect, but something went wrong in the middle and Lord Jia actually escaped with the bomb.
He had been counting on those bombs to attack the capital and seize that position.
That position was the dream of not only my grandfather but also my father. It became their obsession and mental demon, especially my father, who died of depression at a young age.
He was determined to get that position.
However, he did not expect that the damned Lord Jia would desert the battlefield and ruin his plans.
I am so mad at him, I am so mad at him!!
"Someone is coming."
He shouted outside the hall.
Immediately, four men in black came in, bowed to him and said, "Master!"
These four were the most skilled guards around him. As a descendant of the royal family who was exiled here, he was not qualified to have secret guards.
These four people are by his side every day to keep him safe.
Master Jue said in a deep voice: "Go down and make arrangements. You must arrive at Jiuzhou City in two days and kill that man for me.
This time I must succeed, I cannot afford to fail, I will kill him at all costs."
"Yes, master."
After receiving the order, the four of them retreated immediately.
Jue Ye clenched his fists. He had let Ling Xiao escape once or twice, and this time he would definitely kill him.
He just didn't believe that the man was made of iron and could not be killed.
Thinking of the two times he failed, Jue Ye was so angry that if Ling Xiao was in front of him, he would definitely torture him to death.
He spent a huge amount of money to subdue all the bandits in Phoenix Mountain, but they were all wiped out by that bastard Ling Xiao.
Originally, he wanted to move his base there, but fortunately he didn't move there, otherwise his old nest would have been destroyed by that bastard Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao didn't know that he was going to face another big crisis. Now he came to the canal digging site in person.
The canal has been dug through the Moduan Mountains, and the subsequent grouting is now being done.
Seeing so much glutinous rice paste being poured down, Ling Xiao felt distressed. He called the Governor of Jiuzhou beside him and said, "Tell them to stop."
