C1163 South of the City Tang Family
After bypassing the Gathering Excellence Palace, Ye Tian arrived in front of the Imperial Study at the side of the Hall of Diligent Government. The guard at the door naturally recognized Ye Tian. Just as he was about to bow, Ye Tian waved his hand and quietly walked to the door and started listening.
Inside the Imperial Study, Chu Yue was looking at Chen Zhongxiu with a face full of anger, and asked: "There is evidence and evidence all around, what else do you have to say for yourself?"
Chen Zhongxiu was trembling with anger as he pointed at Wei Ju and said, "I admit that my son Hao Tai did want to bully Tang Fei, but he didn't succeed and he didn't have the courage to kill her father. There was another reason for her father's death. This is clearly framing. "
Chu Yue frowned as she listened and said, "Tang Fei had already pointed out that Chen Haotai was trying to bully her and had even killed her father with the staff. More importantly, all the neighbors had already investigated the place where Tang Fei lived, and they all saw the guards of the Chen Mansion enter and leave the Tang Family at noon on the day of her father's death.
Chen Zhongxiu's voice trembled as he spoke, "Your Majesty, I've heard about the matter that happened that afternoon. Hao Tai received a strange letter saying that Tang Fei was threatened by evil people and wanted my son Hao Tai to help her. Who would have known that after Hao Tai brought his men to the Tang family, Father Tang was already dead."
"No matter how bad my son's character is, he didn't dare to continue harboring malice towards Tang Fei. He only checked the scene briefly and then went to report to the authorities." There was naturally an official record of Ministry of Penalty as well. However, who would have thought that Lord Wei would frame my son today? Please investigate this matter thoroughly. "
At this point, Chen Zhongxiu turned his head and looked at Wei Feng with hatred. He gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, your subject suspects that someone has set a trap to deal with me, the Minister of Government."
No matter who the real culprit is, Chen Haotai is the first suspect. According to the laws of the empire, he should first send him to the Ministry of Penalty prison, to be interrogated. At the same time, Sir Chen, as the Minister of Government, should have been a role model for officials of all levels, but he has no children. It is obvious that he no longer possesses the qualifications to continue serving as Secretary of State. "
Chu Yue lowered her head in hesitation as she heard Wei Ji's words. After a long while, Chu Yue raised her head and said, "Pass the decree, detain Chen Haotai immediately."
Chu Yue glanced at Chen Zhongxiu and continued, "Sir Chen, you are in charge of the Ministry of Government and Government. There are many matters and you must be physically and mentally exhausted. Go home and rest for a couple of days."
Chen Zhongxiu kneeled on the ground and kowtowed deeply towards Chu Yue. He said in a deep voice, "Since it's your majesty's order, this subject will definitely obey. However, this matter is indeed fishy. There are people secretly controlling the situation in the imperial government. This old official is uneasy.
Chu Yue nodded and said softly, "I understand."
Chen Zhongxiu's face darkened. He stood up and slowly withdrew his Imperial Study.
Ye Tian stood outside and quickly left when he saw Chen Zhongxiu about to come out. At the same time, Ye Tian was also puzzled in his heart. Chen Zhongxiu didn't seem to be a fake. Could it be that someone really wanted to frame him?
Thinking up to here, Ye Tian was shocked. He immediately realized that Chen Zhongxiu was Qin Ruhua's old subordinate and was undoubtedly a Qin Family faction within the imperial court.
This time, if Chen Zhongxiu was really framed, could it be someone from the Lin Clan did it?
Had the struggle for the Party really reached the point of a life and death struggle?
After coming to this conclusion, Ye Tian stared wide-eyed, and said with a hint of exasperation: "I worked hard to build a base in my own plane group, and not only did I grasp Lunar Clan, Suo Clan, Tiger Clan, and Wolf Clan plane in my hands, I even created a Bright Moon Alliance. I didn't expect that in the end, there would be another fire in the backyard."
After saying that, Ye Tian's face gradually flushed red, and he said again: "Party struggle right? The officials of the imperial court didn't know how to unite properly. They were divided, yet they still wanted to take someone's life, didn't they? "If I don't properly punish you officials, you will not know of my power."
Ye Tian tried his best to calm his anger. He lifted his foot and quickly left the palace, walking towards the south side of the city.
An hour later, Ye Tian followed his memory of the Tang Clan's location and quickly found an old courtyard not far away from the southern city gate.
The Tang clan's residence was situated between two shops. From the width of the wall, one could tell that the courtyard wasn't very large.
The gate of the yard was broken beyond repair, and through the crack of the door one could see the house inside. It looked like an old house that had not been overturned in many years, and it looked like a poor family.
Ye Tian looked left and right. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he lightly pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.
The courtyard was a mess. Broken water vats and fallen wooden racks were scattered on the ground. It was obvious that no one had cleaned the place in a long time.
Ye Tian walked into the front room quietly. However, it was clear that the room was a mess. The furniture had already fallen to the ground. Although there was still a mattress on the bed, it had been torn to pieces. It looked as if there had been a fierce battle.
Ye Tian frowned and looked at the door of the side room. The half-pulled curtain by the window was lightly blown by the breeze.
Ye Tian raised his foot and walked straight to the side room.
At this moment, a black object shot straight at Ye Tian's forehead.
Ye Tian quickly took a step back and dodged the black thing. He looked over and saw a tall girl holding a wooden stick and looking at Ye Tian vigilantly.
Ye Tian waved his hand and said anxiously: "Don't be scared miss, I mean no harm, I just came to take a look."
The woman didn't answer. She just leaned against the corner of the wall with a stick in her hand and stared vigilantly at Ye Tian.
Ye Tian looked carefully at the woman. Although she didn't have any makeup, she was naturally a beauty. From the looks of it, she had some of the same feeling as Zi Xuan from the TV show Immortal Sword Heroic Legend .
Laughing, Ye Tian was a bit amused and said: "You are? Tang Fei? "
This time, although she still didn't put down the stick in her hand, the woman finally spoke up.
"You know me?"
Ye Tian nodded and said with a smile, "I'm not the only one who knows you, I'm afraid that all the people here know you."
However, Tang Fei gritted her teeth and said, "You dog officials only know about the common people. My father was killed by you. You still want to harm me? Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me."
Ye Tian pouted and gave Tang Fei a big thumbs up, saying, "You're ambitious. "But I'm not here to harm you. I'm sent by Her Majesty to investigate the cause of your father's death."
Tang Fei coldly snorted and said, "Two hours ago, Her Majesty sent someone to ask me a question. Now that another you popped out, who knows which one was real and which one was fake? "
Ye Tian stretched out his hand and pressed it down, "Put down the wooden stick first, let's sit down and talk. If you really don't trust me, how about I tie my own hands and feet? "
While speaking, Ye Tian tore a piece of silk from the bed and tied up his hands.
Tang Fei stared at him for a long time, not knowing how Ye Tian had tied himself up.
Tang Fei, who came from a poor family, had probably never heard that there was actually a martial skill called the Silver Lunar Secret Technique.
Ye Tian raised his tied hands and looked around to let Tang Fei see everything clearly. Then he said, "That should be enough, right?"
Staring at Ye Tian once again, Tang Fei's expression finally relaxed a little and she slowly put down the wooden stick in her hand.
Ye Tian smiled and sat on an overturned chair. He gestured Tang Fei to sit on the edge of the bed and asked, "Tell me, you, your father, and Chen Haotai, what exactly happened?"
Tang Fei still had a puzzled expression on her face. She turned her head to look at Ye Tian and said, "Are you really the messenger sent by Her Majesty?"
Ye Tian shrugged and said, "How could that be fake?"
After saying that, Ye Tian lowered his head and touched the token hanging on his waist. He continued, "You're from Beijing, you should know that this token is not something that anyone can wear, right?"
Tang Fei took a closer look at the golden command medallion with dragon engravings on it, and said hoarsely, "You are from the royal family."
Ye Tian nodded: "Yes."
"Can we begin?" Ye Tian asked again.
Tang Fei looked away apologetically. She lowered her head and looked at the corner of her clothes. Then, she stood up and bowed deeply towards Ye Tian. Then, his eyes turned red and two streams of hot tears flowed down his cheeks.
"That day, I was shopping on the streets when I met Young Master Chen …"
Just as she said this, a strong gust of wind blew through the window and struck Tang Fei right in the face.
That gust of wind was clearly a type of wind attribute Magic Fluctuation, as it formed a ripple visible to the naked eye in the air. Tang Fei obviously did not have any basic magic or martial arts skills, so when she saw the strong wind blowing towards her, she cried out in surprise, but she did not have enough time to dodge.
Ye Tian frowned slightly. The silk cloth that was tied around his hands had long been turned into ashes. His fingers bent slightly and a Photoelectric Current came out. With a "crackle" sound, the wind in the air disappeared completely.
However, when the two magic skills clashed, a shockwave was created. The shockwave from the collision caused Tang Fei to fall backwards.
Ye Tian suddenly moved, turning into a shadow and appeared beside Tang Fei. He reached out to grab her, and then pulled her into his embrace.
"Are you okay?" Ye Tian asked.2
Tang Fei's slim waist was tightly hugged by Ye Tian. In a few seconds, her face blushed and she quickly broke free from Ye Tian's embrace.
Standing at the same spot, Tang Fei bowed again and said, "I, I'm fine."
Ye Tian's gaze turned cold as he turned his head to look outside the window.
