But the failure actually came from Chu Jingxing, who was always confident and in control of the overall situation!
Xiao Mingyu looked at him angrily, suddenly stood up and poured tea on his face, sneering: "How dare someone like you say you can accomplish great things! In the face of great things, you can't even control your pitiful self-esteem and vanity, so irrational! What else can you do?!"
How can the people under him entrust their lives to him and work hard for him
Chu Jingxing, who had anticipated Xiao Mingyu's anger, did not show any panic. He looked at Xiao Mingyu calmly and said softly, "Don't be so excited."
But this made Xiao Mingyu even more angry. He slapped the table with his hand, shaking the room for a long time, and asked him coldly: "What do you mean?! Could it be that the results of our Xiao family's Jingying over the years are destroyed just like this?!"
Chu Jingxing raised his hand and poured himself a cup of tea, his expression still cold: "I didn't expect it..." He paused, motioned Xiao Mingyu to sit down, and then said: "I actually thought Dong Siyuan had killed Shen Chen and Wei An, so I led the Third Young Master Lin over, and then let Xiao Xiazi speak in front of the emperor and say a few words about the relationship between the Third Young Master Lin and Shen Chen..."
In this way, even if Shen Chen and Wei An are dead, the evidence is still in Dong Siyuan's hands, and Young Master Lin will also be suspected by Emperor Longqing. It is simply killing two birds with one stone.
But who knew that the timing was not right.
It should be said that Wei An and Shen Chen are really powerful, and Dong Siyuan is too useless. Even with so many people in his hands, he couldn't do anything to Shen Chen, and in the end he was controlled by Shen Chen and Wei An.
Xiao Mingyu couldn't help but sneer: "You are just too greedy and have too many little thoughts. Otherwise, how could such a thing happen?"
What the Xiao family lost this time was not just a few people.
The Xiao family's son-in-law has now been reprimanded, his salary has been cut, and even his title is almost lost. Other members of the Xiao family have also been implicated to some extent.
What’s terrible is that the case is still ongoing, and it seems that they will not stop until the entire Xiao family is wiped out.
If this goes on, the Xiao family will be finished soon!
At the beginning, King Linjiang once said that if they went against him and still supported Chu Jingxing, they would pay the price. Now, not long after, they finally tasted the price, and the price was so heavy.
He believed in Chu Jingxing and placed all the Xiao family's chips on him, but now, Chu Jingxing did not give him the proper return and even caused him to suffer such heavy losses.
He originally supported Chu Jingxing despite the pressure from the second and third wives.
What happened now means that he will no longer have the say in the Xiao family from now on.
Chu Jingxing hummed: "Yes, I am too cautious. This time, the responsibility is indeed mine."
He admitted his fault so straightforwardly. Xiao Mingyu was so angry that he couldn't vent it anymore. He had to change the subject angrily: "It's come to this point. There's no point in saying more. What should we do now?"
This matter seems to be involving more and more people, and who knows who will be implicated.
Chu Jingxing knew what he meant, and said without hesitation: "Don't worry, Dong Siyuan won't reveal more. Your Xiao family's losses will only be so far."
Xiao Mingyu didn't quite understand and looked at him doubtfully: "Do you have a way?"
Ever since Emperor Longqing got angry, the Ministry of Justice has been investigating the case as if it had taken medicine.
But Shen Chen found all the evidence after he went there, so they didn't have to think about it at all. Zhao Er and others, the military households in the teahouse, and the families with the surname Wen confessed everything.
In addition, the Jinyiwei caught Dong Siyuan on the spot when he was about to commit a crime.
No need to say anything, the criminal was caught red-handed.
The situation is now out of control, so he came to Chu Jingxing in a hurry.
Chu Jingxing was so calm and composed, and he was so patient that he was a little unsure of his bottom line. It took him a long time to calm down and asked him, "Why do you do that?"
Chu Jingxing smiled like a fox, and the hostility that had been lingering on his face suddenly dissipated. He smiled and said, "I can't tell you this. Anyway, don't worry, this matter will only end here, and no one else will be involved. If it's just the current situation, with your ability, it shouldn't be a big problem to deal with the aftermath, right?"
Xiao Mingyu sat across from him suspiciously, looking at the clear tea in the cup. After a long while, he said, "How can I trust you? The bet I placed on you before has now all come to fruition."
Chu Jingxing glanced at him and said, "Shen Chen will die soon. Is this enough for you to bet again?"
Will Shen Chen die
Xiao Mingyu was a little nervous: "The situation is already like this, you should stop acting recklessly. Shen Chen is unfathomable and often acts unexpectedly. You'd better be cautious about what you want to do."
"Don't worry." Chu Jingxing looked at the painting screen not far away indifferently, and then retracted his gaze and looked at him directly: "I have been preparing for this day for a long time. No matter what happens, Chu Jingwu and him will die."
Shen Chen had ruined so many of his problems that they had already fallen out.
This time, Dong Siyuan's matter was Shen Chen blatantly slapping him in the face, declaring war on him, and telling him how powerful he, Shen Chen, was.
In that case, he just takes the challenge.
The success or failure depends on one's ability.
In just a few days, the public opinion in the capital changed from everyone discussing the issue of the crown prince to discussing corruption in the guards. Amidst all the discussions, the Prince of Zhennan was finally cleared of his grievances and released by the Ministry of Justice.
The Zhennan Palace had prepared a brazier and pomelo leaves early in the morning. When he stepped over the brazier and kowtowed to the old princess, she asked him to use the pomelo leaves to wash and bathe. Then she said, "Finally, I see him coming out. I can finally feel relieved..."
Her health had been deteriorating, and this time she was only able to get out of bed after hearing the news that Prince Zhennan was safe and sound.
Zhuang Rong quickly supported her and said softly, "Grandma, don't say such things..."
The old princess smiled and nodded his head: "Don't worry, grandma knows it clearly in her heart. What's the big deal? You are old, and there will always be such a day, it's just a matter of time."
He waved and called Wei An to his side, with mixed feelings: "This time it's really thanks to you, An An."
If it weren't for Wei An, no one in the Zhennan Palace would have the ability to clear the Zhennan Prince's grievances.
At most, she would risk her life and kill herself in front of the Tai Chi Hall to prove her innocence.
But doing so would bring bad luck to Emperor Longqing, and the foundation of the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion would be completely destroyed.
She pursed her lips and said after a while: "Thanks to you."
