I want to make progress

Chapter 115 The Provoked Emperor
Meng Nanchen clenched his fists, feeling extremely angry, but he dared not say anything in front of his biased father.

"But if it is found out that it was done by the Liangyi Sect, I will not let them go no matter if they are human or ghost!"

The Duke Protector's eyes were filled with sadness, his son!

"Investigate it for me! Send the people out and investigate thoroughly! I want the truth!"

The next morning, news of Meng Xichen's death spread throughout the capital, shocking everyone in the capital. So what if he was in a high position and had great power, and no one dared to offend him? You still have only one life, and if someone says he can kill you, it doesn't matter if you are the son of a powerful family or a beggar on the street.

How arrogant Meng Xichen was in the past. When he walked on the streets of Beijing, his face was his business card. Who dared to provoke him, who dared to stop him, and who dared not give him face? He was truly a bully in Beijing and no one could do anything to him.

But now, in broad daylight, a man broke his leg and became disabled on the street. That was not enough. A fire broke out and both the man and his farm were destroyed. Not even a body was left. It was as tragic as it could be.

This was a firm wake-up call for those dandy young men in the capital who relied on their family background to act arrogantly and domineeringly. They could be arrogant and domineering, and indulge in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, but they must never go too far.

Otherwise, you won’t know how you died, and who knows when you will be retaliated against. After all, you only have one life.

Even this bastard Meng Xichen could be killed, so those of them whose family background is not as good as Meng Xichen's should be even more careful.

All of a sudden, throughout the capital, all the dandy young men who used to call their friends and chatterboxes became well-behaved. They stayed at home and studied and practiced calligraphy, and didn't want to go out to play at all!
The emperor who received the news in the palace was also surprised. Although the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion was his maternal family and Meng Xichen was his cousin, this did not mean that he liked this cousin. On the contrary, the emperor extremely disliked this cousin.

He indulged in eating, drinking, gambling, whoring, and bullying, and did many evil things in private. If it were anyone else, he would definitely not have a good ending, but this cousin happened to be born in the Duke of Protectorate, so even though he knew that he had done many evil things, he could only turn a blind eye.

What's more, the empress dowager loved her nephew very much, and his grandmother and aunt doted on him even more. Although he was the emperor, he could not resist the protection of these elders. Otherwise, he would have brought Meng Xichen to justice for what he had done.

But it was really shocking that such a person who had given him such a headache was killed and his body was burned without leaving any trace.

The emperor immediately became interested. He wanted to know who was so bold, and he was also afraid of anyone who dared to do such a thing.

But before the emperor could ask more questions, the empress dowager came in a hurry, pulled the emperor aside with grief, and clamored for him to investigate the matter thoroughly and avenge her most beloved nephew.

The emperor was already having a headache because of the incident at the Nine-story Building, and now hearing the empress dowager's crying, his head felt buzzing and about to explode.

Not daring to delay, he quickly agreed. This was much easier than asking him to cover up for Meng Xichen and turn a blind eye to his crimes. For the sake of peace of mind, there was no harm in agreeing.

The emperor knew very well that the person who had the courage and ability to kill Meng Xichen must be no ordinary person. However, after hearing the reports from the prefect of Shuntian and Gu Changting during the morning court, the emperor became furious.

He never thought that it was the work of Liangyi Sect again.

Yes, just before the morning court session, the fire on the manor was put out. The Jingzhao prefect had not slept all night and had been guarding the side. As soon as the fire was extinguished, he immediately rushed into the manor, which was burned to the point of ruins, to look for Meng Xichen's body in the house. The body of Meng Xichen was identified by the people of the Huguogong Mansion, and it was confirmed that there was no doubt that the wounds on the body were consistent with what Gu Changting said.

Of course, the inconsistencies were also made consistent by Gu Changting. This was not a difficult problem for Gu Changting. The only thing that puzzled him was Li Xuan.

This person was so mysterious that he couldn't figure him out. He was obviously the boss of Jiuchonglou and should be a member of the imperial court, but he cooperated very well and concealed the existence of Fu'er.

For a moment, he couldn't understand whether Li Xuan did this because of Fu'er or had other intentions. The only thing he was sure of was that Li Xuan had no ill will towards Fu'er.

However, he could never feel at ease with this unpredictable person. But he could not care less about so many things at this moment. In any case, he could not let Fu'er have any involvement in Meng Xichen's death.

There was the Jiuchonglou Rebellion and the death of Meng Xichen. Time and again, the Liangyi Sect caused so many troubles that the emperor was really angry. Did he really think that the court did not exist? They dared to do these things when they were being severely cracked down upon.

Killing the candidate of Darong is to cut off the foundation of Darong. Now he wants to kill the third son of the Duke of Huguo. He is simply crazy. This is a provocation to the majesty of the emperor! Provoking the majesty of Darong!

The Liangyi Sect must be destroyed!
The emperor was furious, and this time not only did all the major government offices in the capital arrest members of the Yi-Yi Sect, he also sent out troops, determined to completely eradicate the Yi-Yi Sect in Dayong.

The emperor's intentions and the monarch's power were fully demonstrated at this moment. The emperor never showed mercy to those who wanted to overthrow the dynasty.

From then on, the entire Dayong began to eradicate the Liangyi Sect, especially in the capital, where the suppression force was more powerful and the Liangyi Sect suffered a fatal blow.

For example, the students in the academy that Gu Changning was worried about who were suspected to be members of the Liangyi Sect, even though they were students of the academy, were locked up by the court without hesitation. There were many other such people.

The imperial court followed the principle of "it is better to kill ten thousand people by mistake than to let a thousand go". This time, the Liangyi Sect lost more than it gained.

The investigation into Meng Xichen's death was in full swing, but Shu Yunfu was sleeping soundly. She had a high fever and did not wake up until the afternoon. When she woke up, her limbs were sore and her body was sticky. She felt so uncomfortable that she thought she had a fight with someone last night.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to call for help, suddenly what happened last night flashed through his mind, and his pale lips curled up in a self-deprecating arc. Didn't we just have a fight last night!

No! I should say I was beaten up. No wonder I felt so bad.

"Swift!"

Her voice was hoarse and a tearing feeling came from her throat. She couldn't help but frown. Is she sick?

"Miss, you're awake!"

Although Shu Yunfu's voice was small, Yuyan, who had been waiting outside, heard it clearly. She happily parted the bead curtain and ran in. As expected, she saw the young lady who had woken up. She was so excited that tears came to her eyes.
