There has never been a story in the world about a master being driven away, but that's what Xia Shang did.
If word spread, I'm afraid it would scare people into speechlessness.
That is a strong master!
Where is the Grandmaster not held in high esteem?
Not to mention Jianghu sects, even among the major factions in the imperial court, the Grandmaster enjoys the highest power.
Others beg the master to be his disciples, but they dare not let others become their subordinates.
Xia Shang is good, a grandmaster who is willing to be his subordinate actually refuses?
Chunjiao couldn't believe it. She thought that even if Zhang Kui didn't obey the command, he was still a master. When it came time to fight with someone, he must be an absolute main force. How could he just drive him away?
But Xia Shang seemed to have made up his mind and had no intention of changing.
Zhang Kui left, leaving behind his belt.
Chunjiao looked at Zhang Kui's leaving figure and felt a little confused. She felt that things were not that simple, but she couldn't guess what Xia Shang was thinking.
"Really let him go like this?"
"What else could he do? He didn't obey the orders in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he was treading two boats. He didn't deal with the affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but was busy with a bunch of beggars. Such a person can only be a charlatan if he stays in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
burden."
Chunjiao thought about it again and showed a look of sudden realization: "Oh, I understand. Your Excellency must have told Zhang Kui something before doing this. His departure from the Metropolitan Procuratorate is only temporary. He must have some secret mission."
Xia Shang rolled his eyes at Chunjiao: "A person who doesn't even come to meetings, what important tasks do you think I will teach him?"
Chunjiao thought about it and felt that this was the truth.
"Then why did you let him leave so suddenly? Do you want him to break into the enemy and act as an informant for us?"
"Why do you always think I have ulterior motives in driving him away?"
"Really just want to drive him away?"
Xia Shang said no more, feeling that such questions were boring.
Chunjiao also asked: "If we really want him to leave, then he can't just leave so simply. If you join the Metropolitan Procuratorate, you will be there for the rest of your life. Only the dead can leave the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"
"He is the Grandmaster. Am I going to hunt down the Grandmaster because of such a nonsense tradition?"
Chunjiao really had nothing to say, and sighed: "You really shouldn't reply
Come on, after you came back, everything in the Metropolitan Procuratorate was in chaos."
With that said, Chunjiao was about to leave.
"Where are you going?"
"I just need to find a place to be quiet."
Xia Shang reached out and knocked on the door of another dungeon nearby. A cry for help came from inside: "Help, help!"
"There is another person, and you just leave like that?"
Chunjiao patted her forehead: "You were so angry that I even forgot about it!"
Only then did Chunjiao remember the assassin in black she had captured from the market.
The two of them did not go in, but simply exchanged a few words at the door.
"The identity of this person has been found out. He is from the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
"The Metropolitan Procuratorate?"
"That's the Metropolitan Procuratorate that the prince once organized. Now that the prince is dead, the forces on the prince's side are leaderless. There are also problems within his Metropolitan Procuratorate, and they are now scattered throughout the capital."
"This Li Xin is really causing trouble. At first, I thought that the Metropolitan Procuratorate would become our formidable enemy, but now the prince died suddenly, leaving a lot of mess behind."
"It is indeed a mess. The key point is that these people also claim to be from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which will make many people think that they are from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and even put the blame on us."
"Why did he want to assassinate Li Xiangyang?"
"It's to avenge the prince."
"Avenge the prince?"
"I don't know where the news came from recently, saying that the prince's death was related to the second prince, and that the second prince secretly poisoned the prince to death. This caused many of the prince's old men to unite and want to avenge the prince."
How could the news of the prince's death spread in the capital?
This matter is a bit strange. Even Xia Shang himself has not found out whether the matter is related to Li Xiangyang. Why do some people in the capital begin to believe that the death of the prince is related to Li Xiangyang?
"What are you going to do with the people inside?" Chunjiao asked.
Xia Shang thought for a moment: "It's better to hand it over to Li Xiangyang directly and see if he can ask anything else."
"What does this mean?"
"Don't you think such an assassin is too casual?"
Chunjiao was stunned for a moment, then asked back: "What do you mean, sir, that the people inside saying that the prince's death was related to the second prince was just a pretense? He also knows some other things.
Affection?"
"The opponent is the second prince. He has an assassin and a bow. With such a configuration, you want to kill the second prince? No fool would take such a simple action."
"But according to the spies' report, all the people who were chasing the assassin, the second prince, were killed in the alley. This proves that he is not alone."
"Isn't this good? If there is really a master helping secretly, why not just let the master take action? Let such a not-so-outstanding person take action?"
Chunjiao was silent and did not give an answer.
"You can guess from what he said that he did not intend to get rid of Li Xiangyang during this operation, and had prepared an escape route in advance. The master only appeared to help this person escape, and had no intention of taking action against Li Xiangyang. It was just
They didn't expect to meet us halfway."
"Then why did they do it?"
"Just look at the results. Li Xiangyang did not pursue the matter, and tried his best to control the fermentation of the matter, trying to make people not know about the matter. And this person said without any concealment that he wanted to avenge the prince. One party tried his best to cover it up
, but one party took the initiative to admit that the intention was to spread the news that the prince's death was related to Li Xiangyang. And Li Xiangyang did not seem to let the assassin get his wish."
"So this is the reason? I feel strange, with Li Xiangyang's small belly, how can he be willing to suffer the consequences of being dumb? But what impact will this have on all parties, and why does Li Xiangyang try his best to control things? In my opinion, that news
It’s nonsense. Who would believe it?”
"First of all, we assume that this news is fabricated. Although many people will not believe it, once the matter spreads and more people talk about it, even something that is unbelievable may become something else that is unbelievable.
Believe it or not, this incident will definitely be very detrimental to the reputation of the second prince. More importantly, this news gave the entire capital a reason to persecute Li Xiangyang.
If someone wants to harm Li Xiangyang but doesn't want anyone to know about it, he can send an assassin to kill him. Even if he fails to be captured, the other party can claim that he is an old subordinate of the prince because there are rumors from the outside that he wants to avenge the prince. Although this reason is very false,
But it is sufficient. After all, there are many old princes in the capital who have taken refuge with various forces. When everyone says so, Li Xiangyang will have no reason to pursue the new master who wants to seek revenge on the assassin.
Li Xiangyang will never let such a trend form, otherwise he will be in danger."
