C201 (1/2)

On the morning of the third day, at the assistant minister's office in the Ministry of Industry.

Just as Yang Jiancheng was dressed neatly, before even walking to the door, he smelt a thick stench of blood, and could not help but frown and ask: ”Where's the stench of blood coming from? Who would do something so unclean? ”

The follower said respectfully, ”I'll clean it up immediately.”

Yang Jiancheng was in a hurry to go to the morning assembly, so he did not ask too much.

However, when the attendant s opened the door, Yang Jiancheng saw a dozen or so heads lined up neatly in front of the door. They just so happened to be the group of people he sent out to kill Linglan last night.

Not a single one was missing; all of them were here.

Yang Jiancheng was so scared that he fainted on the spot.

The entire house was in a mess, Lady Yang herself did not dare to step out, and her pillar of support was unconscious, so no one had anything to do with her, so she could only ask Ministry of Punishments to deal with these people's heads.

This disturbance reached the imperial court.

When the Minister heard about this, the first thing he thought of was Little Tyrant Xie.

Ever since Xie Heng had entered the Dijing, these people had been living in fear and trepidation. If they slept until the middle of the night, even the slightest movement in the wind or grass could scare them awake.

Other than this man, there was really no one else who would dare to kill an assassin and send his head back to their master with such arrogance.

Xie Heng was currently in the Black Feather Camp, so he did not come to the meeting.

Old Emperor asked the officials, ”Who do you think did this?” At that time, no one dared to pour dirty water on Little Tyrant Xie.

Yang Jiancheng had been struck with bad luck this time. Today, his head was in front of his door, and it was possible that his entire family would be together tomorrow.

No one wanted to follow a piece of bad luck.

Until the court was dismissed.

Everyone walked out in small groups, and started discussing about the Yang Jiancheng family in low voices.

A few princes and sons of officials followed Zhao Feng back to the East Palace, and after they entered the Palace gates, they started to talk about it with ease, ”Because of my daughter's matter, Yang Jiancheng had broken off ties with Xie Heng, and even lost his own daughter. I really wonder how he managed to get himself into the position of Minister! ”

”After what happened today, who didn't know that it was Xie Heng who did it? But during the assembly, no one dares to say anything, even the Prince Rui did not speak up for Yang Jiancheng, haha. ”

”It's rare for the Prince Rui to have a brain like this, if he were to fight with the Little Tyrant Xie again, I feel that Xie Heng would be able to pull out his sword and kill him on the spot!”

”Isn't Yang Jiancheng a member of the Prince Rui? Now that it's like this, it's more or less the same as Xie Heng. ”

The few of them laughed as they chatted, but they did not forget to compliment Zhao Feng, ”The Crown Prince has foresight, and was on good terms with Xie Heng. Now that the Black Feather Camp was in his hands, the safety of his Dijing City was tied to him alone. Unless it is a heinous crime, the Emperor will not make things difficult for him. Such a simple matter, how is it that Prince Rui will not understand?

Zhao Feng laughed, and did not say much.

One of them said, ”I heard that Yang Jiancheng found out that Xie Heng is related to the State Duke Heng and wanted to borrow Xie Heng's cousin's help to do something.

”State Duke Heng?” Zhao Feng laughed: ”That was 20 years ago. How old is Xie Heng? Eighteen? Nineteen? Back then, how cleanly did those people from the State Duke Heng Palace die?
