The reason why he was able to get rid of the two thorns that had pierced his heart was all thanks to Whitey.

It turned out that the person who had harmed Whitey's family was none other than Yuan Lang's grandson, the Prefect of Ming Lin Prefecture, Hou Qing.

Being influenced by his uncle's prime moment since he was young, he was extremely greedy.

When Yuan Ji was conferred the title of a Central Book Province official, Hou Qing, who was at that time just a county magistrate, wrote a letter requesting to be appointed as an official.

Then, Yuan Ji told Lin Qin's son, Lin An, who was previously the assistant minister of the Ministry of Public Affairs, about the matter and gave it to Lin An as a gift.

Lin An had only needed to do a little work to change Hou Qing from a small county magistrate that was less than a hundred li under his jurisdiction into a prefect of the rich and prosperous Ming Lin prefecture in the capital city.

At this time, Ye Feihan needed to suppress the power of Ye Lianhe, so he let Yuan Lin's people take charge of the imperial examinations, selection, and other matters.

Yuan Lang, Lin Qin, and Lin Mu were very old, and these tasks were very heavy and exhausting for them. Therefore, the two of them sent them to their sons, Yuan Ji and Lin An.

Even though Yuan Lang, Lin Qin and Lin Dong were giving their all, the two of them were already in a daze after obtaining such authority.

In less than half a year, the two had established a perfect system for buying officials.

There were people who had tried to get close to the emperor, but most of them had been blocked by the Yuan Lin gang in the three provinces. Occasionally, one or two books would fall into the hands of the emperor, but due to the emperor's fear of being seen by the night, he had turned a blind eye.

But today was different. Ye Lianhe had been working hard for many years and the time was ripe.

At this time, due to the efforts of the Yuan Lin Party, the citizens were seething with resentment, and what surprised Ye Lianhe the most was Hou Qing's desire for the Emerald Lingzhi bestowed by the late emperor of the Little White Family.

Hou Qing relied on his uncle and grandfather to be the prime ministers of the imperial court and acted without hesitation.

But, what he shouldn't have done was covet the imperial gifts.

Ye Lianhe knew that this was the best opportunity. Thus, he called for Gan Liao and Meng Li. Under the threat of benefits, the two of them could only become Ye Lianhe's' vanguard '.

Although the two of them knew that their chances of winning were great, the two of them who had been cautious for their entire lives were still trembling in fear in the hall.

However, what surprised Ye Lianhe the most was Ye Feian's sudden defection.
