For everyone in the Xiao family, the establishment of the Law Enforcement Hall is definitely an earth-shattering event, because the establishment of the Law Enforcement Hall means a major purge within the Xiao family.

When the five elders jointly announced the establishment of the Law Enforcement Hall the next day, the entire Xiao family was shocked. From the direct clan members to the ordinary guards and maids, everyone seemed to have a premonition of something. At the same time, they also guessed that this The establishment of the Law Enforcement Hall was probably driven by Xiao Chen.

The entire Xiao family was talking about the Law Enforcement Hall, but Xiao Chen didn't pay any attention to it. At this time, in the backyard of the Xiao family, Xiao Chen looked at the twenty Xiao family children in front of him. These people They were all selected by the five elders from the direct descendants of the Xiao family. Of course, there were no second or third masters of the Xiao family among them.

There were only twenty people. Facing Xiao Chen at this time, everyone couldn't help but show a hint of admiration in their eyes. To them, Xiao Chen was the pride of the Xiao family. Without Xiao Chen, there would be no Xiao family. today.

With a faint smile on his face, his eyes swept over everyone one by one. Finally, Xiao Chen said calmly, "Do you know the purpose of establishing the Law Enforcement Hall?"

"I know." Faced with Xiao Chen's inquiry, everyone replied in unison.

Obviously the five elders had already introduced them to all the affairs of the Law Enforcement Hall. In this way, Xiao Chen naturally did not need to waste any more words. With a faint smile, Xiao Chen continued.

"Okay, then I will give you the first task today, and start investigating the affairs of the second master and the third master. There is no need to worry, I only want the truth."

The Law Enforcement Hall was established, and Xiao Chen's first task was to investigate the second and third masters. After hearing this, the twenty people present did not change their expressions much, as if they had expected it.

He responded respectfully, and then Xiao Chen asked everyone to disperse, and had already started to attack the second and third masters. After everyone left, Xiao Chen raised his head and looked at the sky, and said in a calm tone, "Second uncle, third uncle , I hope you don’t seek death.”

Xiao Chen has already started taking action. At the same time, in another part of the Xiao family compound, this is the residence of the second master of the Xiao family. At this time, in a secret room in the courtyard, the second and third masters of the Xiao family The two of them were sitting opposite each other, and looking at their faces, they were obviously a little ugly.

The second master's name is Xiao Mu, and the third master's name is Xiao Feng. At this time, the two of them gathered together. The third master Xiao Feng was the first to speak, "Second brother, Xiao Chen established a law enforcement hall as soon as he came back. This is obviously towards us. Come on, Xiao Qing can’t bear to attack us, but Xiao Chen has no scruples, so you and I should make preparations in advance.”

They had long received the news of the establishment of the Law Enforcement Hall, and as Xiao Feng and Xiao Mu, they obviously knew more about the inside story, and they quickly guessed that the biggest reason why Xiao Chen established the Law Enforcement Hall was because of the two of them. people.

After hearing what Xiao Feng said, the second master Xiao Mu said calmly for a moment, "Third brother, you should understand Xiao Chen's energy. If you ask me, let's forget it. Now that Xiao Chen has returned, everything is over."

Facing Xiao Chen, Xiao Mu retreated. He had no choice but to do so. Xiao Chen's reputation in the Xiao family was unparalleled. Now that Xiao Chen has returned, it is almost impossible to compete for power in his hands.

He proposed to give up, but after hearing this, Xiao Feng refused and said, "Second brother, we have worked hard for so long, are you willing to give up now? There is still one step left, just one step away from forcing Xiao Qing to abdicate. At that time, the entire Xiao family didn’t belong to us, and besides, we still have the eldest prince behind us.”

Xiao Feng was unwilling to give up, and he actually mentioned the eldest prince. Upon hearing the eldest prince, Xiao Mu's expression also changed.

To put it bluntly, the reason why one of Xiao Mu and Xiao Feng can control the Xiao family's financial power and the other can control the Xiao family's army cannot do without the help of the eldest prince, and this eldest prince is naturally the eldest prince of Lingfeng Kingdom, Mo Feng Luo is Mo Jie’s brother.

Unlike his father Mo Yao, as the eldest prince, Mo Feng was like a fish bone stuck in his throat to the Xiao family in Lingshan County.

In fact, this is not surprising. Facing an existence that is almost a country within a country, I believe that no emperor would allow it. However, the Xiao family's presence prevented the royal family from making the slightest move, so there was no other way. .

Precisely because he did not dare to make enemies with the Xiao family, Emperor Mo Yao chose the strategy of making friends with the Xiao family. However, the eldest prince Mo Feng was different. He did not choose to implement his father's policy and make friends with the Xiao family. He is using another method to control the Xiao family, and this method is to support his own people to rise to power and control the power of the Xiao family.

There is no doubt that Xiao Mu and Xiao Feng are the people chosen by Mo Feng, so in the past few years, Mo Feng has spared no effort to help them seize power.

No one thought that behind the infighting in the Xiao family there was the shadow of the royal family, and the eldest prince, Mo Feng, had to be said that he was indeed a very ambitious person.

He knew clearly that Xiao Chen existed in the Xiao family, but he still dared to do this. His purpose may be to make Lingfeng Kingdom have only one voice, and that is the royal family.

Hearing Xiao Feng mention His Highness the First Prince, Xiao Mu was stunned. Seeing this, Xiao Feng continued.

"Second brother, I sent a message to His Highness the First Prince last night, and His Highness the First Prince also replied, saying that he will come in person. Now everything is ready, only the last step is needed, Second Brother, We cannot retreat at this time, otherwise everything we have done before will be in vain."

Xiao Feng continued to persuade, and it was not difficult to tell from his words that the two of them seemed to be fully prepared. They only needed one last blow to successfully drive Xiao Qing out of the position of head of the family. At that time, the power of the Xiao family was in the hands of these two brothers.

Under Xiao Feng's constant persuasion, Xiao Mu finally gritted his teeth and chose to give it a go.

While Xiao Feng and Xiao Mu were having a secret conversation, the eldest prince Mo Feng secretly left the imperial capital of Lingfeng Kingdom, taking only dozens of personal guards with him.

Riding a first-level demonic beast chasing the wind horse, he quickly rushed towards Lingshan County. Sitting in the carriage in the middle, Mo Feng whispered to himself with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Xiao Chen, I know you are very powerful, but since I am the eldest prince of Lingfeng Kingdom, I will never allow a country within a country to exist within Lingfeng Kingdom. Therefore, the Xiao family can only submit to the royal family. Road."

After the words fell, Mo Feng closed his eyes slightly, with a faint smile on his lips. The sound of needles quickly became audible in the carriage, and only the sound of horse hooves could be heard continuously.
