Chapter 191: Pursuit

tion, or it could even be considered valiant.But seizing every opportunity to struggle, reveals the strength within.The long night has passed.Dawn ripped through the night.Jiang Wang occasionally glan...The incident took place at Xiao Lianqiao, and the victim was Zhao Xuan, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites.

Of course, the most important point is that the culprit is someone who has no gate to hell!

This also means that the time Zheng Xuan and others have been waiting for has finally come.

Of course, he couldn't do anything; he just had to wait.

And upon hearing the name "Little Lian Bridge," Jiang Wang instantly recalled the unassuming man from the paper figure shop.

When Xu Xiangqian was helping to handle the funeral of Xu Fang, he followed him to Xiaolian Bridge. At that time, he felt that the man in the paper figurine shop didn't seem like someone who would run a small business like this. However, he didn't want to cause trouble at the time, so he ignored it.

Now that I think about it, if I had "listened" back then, I probably would have been looking for death... That was the hell-without-gates Yama, a powerful expert beyond the outer realm!

And Xu Xiangqian at that time still wanted to buy on credit from others, borrowing again and again...

It's rather eerie thinking back on it now.

As for Zhao Xuan's death, Jiang Wang didn't have much of an opinion. This kind of "traitor" wouldn't win much sympathy anyway. All he thought was that now that he was a Qi minister, dying in Linzi was a slap in the face to the Qi court.

The Northern Imperial Palace was utterly crushed. After this incident, whether he could keep his current position remained to be seen.

Now, the Prefect of Northern Yamen, Zheng Shi, must have gone mad.

He was originally strong and capable, with masterful skills. He handled the security of Linzi City very well. As a rising star at the pinnacle of his career, he was poised for greatness with boundless potential. Further progress was assured, whether he remained in government or joined the military.

Now that this matter has blown up, being able to keep their current positions is already a sign of the Emperor Qi's great mercy. There will be no chance for promotion within the next ten or eight years.

Even if everyone knew that the Hell's Gate army displayed such formidable strength, agility, and precise timing in this operation, any other person sitting in the position of the Northern Ward Commander would have found it incredibly difficult to respond effectively.

This is the upper limit set by the North Barracks itself. While it is responsible for public security in Linzi, it does not have the authority to mobilize top-tier combat forces. The outer courtyard level is essentially the limit of what the North Barracks can handle.

But knowing is knowing, when things go wrong, someone has to be held accountable. Since Zheng Shi is in this position, the blame falls squarely on him.

It is said that Zheng Shishou, at Xiaolianqiao Bridge, personally reviewed the entire assassination operation. Then, he made a city-wide sweep and arrested many people, bringing them to Beiyaguan (a prison in ancient times). He almost emptied Xiaolianqiao Bridge, not giving anyone face. Now, during this time, no one dares to provoke him.

Judging from the forces deployed by Diyu Wumen this time, Yin Guan probably didn't need Jiang Wang's channels to enter Linzi. Perhaps when he made his request to Jiang Wang, he had other intentions. But these are all later stories.

"The 'Imperial Ruler of Song' is hiding in the paper figurine shop. It is said that the original owner of the paper figurine shop, who supposedly returned home to recover from illness, has completely vanished without a trace. However, the small Lianqiao patrol soldiers who pretended not to see anything suddenly died at home. It was soon discovered that this was done by his superior officer in order to cover up the truth. This patrol officer was bribed by the owner of a small tavern... In short, it's a messy affair."

Zheng Shi's abilities were absolutely top-notch. In a very short time, he reconstructed the entire process of how the members of the Hell's Gate infiltrated Linzi. This naturally included the "King Qin Guang" and "Officer Wang" who entered the city last...

The matter was handled by the owner of a cloth shop, who had some connections with the city gate guards.

But most importantly... he is under Chong Xuan's command!

Of course, he had disappeared before they could investigate him at Beiyuan.

A body was discovered in a sewer in a nearby neighborhood the following day. It appeared to be the result of drowning after falling into the sewer while intoxicated.

But everyone knows he was silenced.

While Chong Xuan was much cleaner than that deputy patrol officer, not even getting his hands dirty from start to finish.

Zhong Xuan Sheng very "considerately" cut off all clues, preventing Beiya from tracing them back to Zhong Xuan Zun. Beiya indeed didn't find any relevant leads, but this person was indeed under Zhong Xuan Zun's command, so naturally, he attracted Beiya's attention.

The less you can find out, the more suspicious it becomes.

No one doubted that Zhongxuan, residing in the Jixia Academy, harbored ill intentions towards the State of Qi. However, his “lax command over his subordinates” was an undisputed fact. The evidence was conclusive: his subordinates assisted in organizing the assassination plot orchestrated by Yangting remnants.

After leaving Lord Bowang's mansion, Chong Xuan looked up at the sky and saw that it was very bright.

"How are you" Jiang Wang walked up to ask.

Today's a meeting of the core members within Chongxuan family. Chongxuan Chu Liang and Chongxuan Ming Guang are both attending, and even Chongxuan Sheng Yuan, the fourth uncle who resides on an island, Chongxuan Ming He, has sent a representative.

What needs to be discussed is self-evident.

Since this kind of meeting Jiang Wang and Fourteen couldn't attend, they could only wait for the results.

However, they all remained outside the residence of Marquis Bo Wang, demonstrating their support for Chong Xuan Sheng.

...Chongxuan glanced at him, then at the Fourteenth, and suddenly smiled: "Everything is under control!"

Though Chong Xuan was still at the Jixia Academy, his businesses had already been dismantled.

Although Wang Yiwu was in charge, this part of the business originally belonged to Chong Xuan's family. Even Wang Yiwu couldn't stop Chong Xuan's family from reclaiming their power. Unless Chong Xuan himself stepped forward and used his influence within the family to turn things around. However, this was a paradox, as he was in the Ji Xia Academy and couldn't leave, nor did he know what was happening outside.

And until today, Chong Xuan Sheng could finally say that he had achieved his purpose of spending a huge sum of money to send Chong Xuan Zun into the Jixia Academy!

"Didn't those elders all support Chongxuan Zun in the past How come they let go so easily this time" In Xia Shan Biefu, Jiang Wang pursued details.

Zhong Xuan Sheng sneered: "Family interests come first. Back then, they were even willing to give up... him. Today, giving up one Zhong Xuan Zun is nothing."

In this sentence, the "he" naturally refers to Chong Xuan Sheng's biological father, Chong Xuan Fu Tu.

“They are different,” Jiang Wang shook her head. “The situation involving Chongxuan is not that dangerous.”

“Therefore, the family was not so resolute in their ‘abandonment’ of him. They have only retracted his business dealings and have not revoked his inheritance rights. He remains the most powerful contender for the chieftain position.”

"Second only to you." Jiang Wang added.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Then, Chongxuan laughed triumphantly: "Second only to me!"

Not until today had he, for the first time, gained an advantage over Chongxuan Zun in their competition. While Chongxuan Zun was superior in cultivation talent, in terms of management, he had officially left Chongxuan Zun behind.

Who can lead the Chongxuan family towards a brighter future From now on, Chongxuan Sheng will receive more support.

"How does he distribute his business" Jiang Wang asked again.

“Uncle Mingguang should take a share, after all, it’s his son’s business, and I trust him to handle it... The rest goes to the elders of the clan and me. Uncle Si didn't help Zhongxuan, but he also didn't take his business.”

"Remain neutral," Jiang Wang muttered.

Chong Xuan said, "I could have taken more, the bigger share. Because I and Chu Liang's father led the Battle of Qiyang, we are the ones in the Chong Xuan family most unlikely to collude with Yang Ting's remnants. To completely get rid of the influence of this matter and reassure people in Qi State, we must take over."

Jiang Wang fully understood why he loosened his grip and let the benefits pour out: "Those elders took Heavy Xuan Zun's business, so they always had to be wary of Heavy Xuan Zun's resentment. How could they wholeheartedly support him in the future"

Zhong Xuan burst into laughter, a sound of pure delight unlike anything he'd ever felt before. Lou Yue personally went after the thieves. Prince Jin could intervene at any moment, and Jing Ting would also closely monitor the movements of the True Ones. Once a strong individual showed themselv...
