Chapter 222: The Snake Swallows the Elephant
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 next day, after the five elders jointly released the news of the establishment of the Law Enforcement Hall, the Xiao family was shaken, from the descendants to the ordinary guards and maids, everyone seemed to have a premonition, and at the same time guessed that the establishment of the Law Enforcement Hall was probably promoted by Xiao Chen.
The entire Xiao family was talking about the law enforcement hall, but Xiao Chen didn't care about it at all, 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 were all selected by the five elders from the Xiao family's descendants, of course, there were no people from the second and third masters of the Xiao family.
There are only twenty people, facing Xiao Chen at this time, everyone's eyes can't help but reveal a touch of admiration, for them, Xiao Chen is the pride of the Xiao family, without Xiao Chen, there would be no Xiao family today.
With a faint smile on his face, his gaze swept over everyone one by one, and at the end, Xiao Chen said calmly, "Do you know what the purpose of the establishment of the Law Enforcement Hall is?" ”
"Yes." In the face of Xiao Chen's inquiry, everyone replied in unison.
Obviously, the five elders had already introduced to them all the affairs of the Law Enforcement Hall, so Xiao Chen naturally didn't have to bother anymore, and 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 and third masters, no need to worry, I just want the truth."
The Law Enforcement Hall was established, Xiao Chen's first task was to start investigating the second and third masters, hearing this, the twenty people present did not change color much, as if they had expected it.
Respectfully responded, and then Xiao Chen let everyone disperse, and had already begun to attack the second and third masters, after everyone left, Xiao Chen looked up at the sky, and said in a flat tone, "Second uncle, third uncle, I hope you don't kill yourself." ”
Xiao Chen's side has already begun to act, and at the same time, another place in the Xiao family's 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 master and the third master of the Xiao family are sitting opposite each other, looking at the faces of the two, they are 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 gathered together, and the third master, Xiao Feng, took the lead in speaking, "Second brother, Xiao Chen, this kid set up a law enforcement hall as soon as he came back, this is obviously coming towards us, Xiao Qing's guy can't bear to attack us, but Xiao Chen, this kid, has no scruples, you and I have to prepare early." ”
had already 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 soon guessed that the biggest reason why Xiao Chen established the Law Enforcement Hall was because of the two of them.
Hearing Xiao Feng's words, the second master Xiao Mu pondered for a moment and said, "Third brother, you should understand Xiao Chen's energy, if you want me to say, forget it, now that Xiao Chen has returned, everything has gone in a big way." ”
In the face of Xiao Chen, Xiao Mu retreated, there was no way, Xiao Chen's reputation in the Xiao family was incomparable, and now that Xiao Chen had returned, it was almost impossible to compete for power in his hands.
proposed to give up, but after Xiao Feng heard this, he even refused, "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, and then the entire Xiao family will not be ours, and besides, there will be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince behind us. ”
Xiao Feng was unwilling to give up, and he actually said His Royal Highness the Prince, and when he heard His Royal Highness the Prince, Xiao Mu's face also changed.
To put it bluntly, the reason why Xiao Mu and Xiao Feng were able to control the financial power of the Xiao family and the other was able to control the Xiao family's army was that the help of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was indispensable, and this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was naturally Mo Feng, the crown prince of Lingfeng Kingdom.
is different from his father Mo Yao, as the current crown prince Mo Feng, for the Xiao family of Lingshan County, it is like a fish bone stuck in the throat, like choking in the throat.
In fact, this is not surprising, in the face of the existence of a country that is almost a country within a country, I believe that no emperor will allow it, but the Xiao family does not dare to make the slightest change because of Xiao Chen's existence, so there is no way.
It is precisely because he did not dare to make friends with the Xiao family that Emperor Mo Yao chose the strategy of befriending the Xiao family, but the crown prince Mo Feng was different, he did not choose to implement his father's policy and make friends with the Xiao family, but used another means to control the Xiao family, and this means is to support his own people to take the throne 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 the two seize power.
No one thought that there was a shadow of the royal family behind the Xiao family's infighting, and the crown prince Mo Feng had to say that he was indeed a very ambitious person.
Obviously knew that the Xiao family had Xiao Chen's existence, but he still dared to do so, his purpose may be to let Ling Fengguo have only one voice, and that is the royal family.
Hearing that Xiao Feng mentioned His Royal Highness the Prince, Xiao Mu was stunned, and seeing this, Xiao Feng continued.
"Second brother, I already sent a letter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince last night, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also replied that he would come in person, and now everything is ready, only this last kick is missing, Second Brother, we can't 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 hear from his words that the two of them seemed to be fully prepared, and only the last blow was needed to successfully oust Xiao Qing from the position of the head of the family, and then the power of the Xiao family would be in the hands of the two brothers.
Under Xiao Feng's continuous persuasion, in the end, Xiao Mu also gritted his teeth and chose to give it a go.
It was also when Xiao Feng and Xiao Mu were talking in secret, the imperial capital of Lingfeng Kingdom, the crown prince Mo Feng secretly left here, only bringing dozens of guards with him.
Riding a first-order demon beast chasing the wind horse, he quickly rushed towards Lingshan County, and sitting in the carriage in the center, Mo Feng's eyes flashed with a touch of coldness and whispered to himself.
"Xiao Chen, I know you are very powerful, but since I am the crown prince of Lingfeng Country, then I will never allow the existence of a country within a country in Lingfeng Kingdom, so the Xiao family has only one way to submit to the royal family."
When the words fell, Mo Feng's eyes closed slightly, a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and the carriage soon became audible, only the sound of horses' hooves kept ringing.
