Chapter 166 Jiang Yuyan: Are you doing this for me?
Liu Xi came over not long after Cao Zhengchun left.

Ever since being criticized by Lin Bei last time, Liu Xi has restrained himself a lot and his original plan has been put on hold.

There are two Murongs in the Jiangnan martial arts world, one is the Murong family located in the Ming Dynasty, and the other is the Gusu Murong.

During the last Xingzilin incident, Gusu Murong's conspiracy to rebel was exposed by Lin Bei.

No matter how weak the Song State was, it would be easy for it to crush the Gusu Murong family.

The garrison was sent directly to the scene, and in less than half a day, Yanziwu was captured.

As a result, they actually found Murong Fu's family tree in Sanhe Village, proving that they were the remnants of the Yan State.

So many years have passed, and the combined lifespan of the Three Yans was only a few decades. No one cared about the identity of the descendants of Yan.

After all, if we really talk about this, there are so many dynasties in history that are more noble than them.

All I can say is that the people of Gusu Murong clan have problems with their brains. After being emperor for a few days, they don’t even know their last names.

Most importantly, the Song official who was in charge of the confiscation did not find any weapons or armor in Murong's house, and there were not even a few military books. There were only martial arts secrets and some gold, silver and jewelry that were better than nothing.

Several generations have been plotting rebellion, and this is it?
After the news spread, the Gusu Murong family became a laughing stock.

In other words, Murong Fu had been beaten to death by Lin Bei, otherwise he would have committed suicide out of shame and anger.

As for the four great generals, A'zhu, A'bie and a few others, they escaped the disaster because they were wandering around in the martial world.

Because of Gusu Murong's incident, the situation of the Murong family has become awkward. We all have the surname Murong, so who knows if your family is also plotting a rebellion?

Fortunately, Murong Wudi, the current head of the Murong family, came up with a solution in the first place.

He directly handed over his family's genealogy and sent his eldest daughter Murong Shu into the palace to show that he had no intention of rebelling.

Liu Xi had originally set his sights on Murong Wudi's two daughters. This was originally the best opportunity. He could directly put a hat on the Murong family. Wouldn't he be able to control them then?
Unfortunately, after being beaten by Lin Bei, he can only endure it now.

Even knowing that Lin Bei had already left the palace, he did not dare to act rashly.

This time he went to see Jiang Yuyan because something big happened in the capital.

"Reporting to the Queen, after the copper mold of the Baoyuan Bureau was stolen some time ago, counterfeit currency cases have occurred frequently in various places, and there are signs that they are getting worse."

Jiang Yuyan looked at Liu Xi expressionlessly when she heard this and asked, "Master Li and the others all know about this?"

Liu Xi nodded and said, "I have already informed them."

"So you couldn't come up with a charter?"

"This……"

Liu Xi said cautiously, "Originally, this matter should have been handled by the Six Gates and the Divine Constables, but now Lord Guo and Lord Liu are both busy with important matters, so I'm afraid they don't have the time to take care of it."

What he meant was that he and other ministers were unable to command the Six Gates and the Divine Police Department.

Jiang Yuyan was of course aware of this. The three institutions, the Six Gates, the Divine Constable's Department, and the Dragon Guard Villa, basically only took orders from Lin Bei, so those ministers naturally could not command them.

Moreover, Liu Dufeng and Guo Juxia had already informed her of this matter long ago. Before Liu Xi came to report, the Six Gates and the Divine Police Department had already been investigating the case of the theft of the bronze mold.

And clues have been found, but we have not yet found out who stole the bronze mold and who is the mastermind behind it.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have been countless cases of privately minting copper coins, but this is the first time that someone dared to steal the imperial court's copper mold to make counterfeit coins.

Ordinary people cannot accomplish this. After all, casting copper coins requires a large amount of copper, which ordinary people simply cannot get.

And there are only a few companies that can mine copper in Ming Dynasty.

Even if they didn't do this, they are still related to it. If it came from abroad, the problem would be even bigger.

Collaboration with the enemy and treason are serious crimes in any era.

Jiang Yuyan looked at Liu Xi for a while and said calmly, "Do you mean you want to take this case?"

Liu Xi's heart tightened, and he lowered his head quickly and said, "I dare not?"

Jiang Yuyan sneered and said, "Know your position clearly. If I find out that you are messing around outside, you'll be in trouble!" "Yes!"

Liu Xi kowtowed and left.

During that time, he didn't dare to look up at Jiang Yuyan. When he went out, his face had turned ashen.

Since Lin Bei was controlling him, Liu Xi had to accept it because he was the emperor.

But who is Jiang Yuyan? She is just a daughter of a lowly person, and she was almost sold to a brothel.

In the past, let alone a royal concubine, even the queen was nothing in Liu Xi's eyes.

Now he can only endure it.

Before leaving, Liu Xi glanced at the two guards standing outside and said, "Protect Concubine Yan. If anything happens to her, none of you will be able to escape!"

Under normal circumstances, these two people should have made assurances repeatedly.

But they just glanced at Liu Xi and then looked away.

Liu Xi, who was already in a bad mood, became even more furious.

He narrowed his eyes and asked in a cold voice: "Whose people are you?"

Just as the two guards were about to answer, a familiar voice came from behind Liu Xi.

"They were arranged by me, Liu Xi, do you have any objection?"

The expression on Liu Xi's face froze for a moment. He turned around stiffly and saw Lin Bei's face.

Just as he was about to kneel down and admit his mistake, Lin Bei kicked him.

Liu Xi didn't dare to hide, nor could he hide, and was kicked out on the spot.

After he landed on the ground, he couldn't get up for a long time. The young eunuchs who came with him didn't dare to go over to help him. They knelt down in front of Lin Bei, trembling and not daring to make a sound.

After Lin Bei glanced at these people, he said to one of the two guards: "Haitang, I'll leave these people to you. I don't want to see them again!"

Shangguan Haitang, who was dressed as a guard, quickly responded, "Yes!"

Then he called on other guards to drag away the eunuchs who were crying and begging the emperor for mercy.

Before Lin Bei left the palace, he had already dispatched Shangguan Haitang, Gui Hai Yidao and Duan Tianya to protect Jiang Yuyan's safety.

Shangguan Haitang and Gui Hai Yidao were in the open, while Duan Tianya was hiding in the dark using the ninjutsu he learned in Japan.

If anyone wants to attack Jiang Yuyan and the baby in her belly, the three of them will take them down immediately.

With the three of them here, Jiang Yuyan cannot be hurt unless someone of Ximen Chuxue's level takes action.

What's more, Jiang Yuyan herself has the skill of transplanting flowers and trees, and she has absorbed a lot of internal energy. Even if she can't win, she can escape without any problem.

The young eunuch who followed Liu Xi was dealt with, but Liu Xi himself was lying on the ground like a dead dog.

Lin Bei didn't say he would punish him, so Shangguan Haitang and others didn't do anything, but they didn't call the imperial physician for him either.

After lying down for most of the day, Liu Xi finally got up.

His face looked very ugly, and the severe pain in his chest told him that Lin Bei's kick had broken several of his ribs.

If he was kicked in the dantian, all his martial arts skills would be ruined.

While being shocked that Lin Bei's martial arts had become stronger, Liu Xi also had to consider his future position.

Given the emperor's ruthlessness, if he dares to disobey again, I'm afraid he will show no mercy the next time.

The collusion with those people outside the palace must also be temporarily cut off to avoid being discovered by Lin Bei.

All in all, he had to stay safe for the next period of time.
