"Miss Hongye, your father asked you to hand over the evidence of Ming Shaoxia to me?"

"Our Inspector, who is upright and loves the people like his own children, actually has evidence of crimes?"

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes, looked at Hongye in front, smiled, and said playfully.

The two "evidence of crimes" were heavily emphasized.

Not surprised, but probing...

This mysterious woman and her father not only knew the background of Ming Shaoxia, who was hidden very well, but also dug out such a thick stack of evidence. Who wouldn't be guarded and suspicious?

"Lord Chen Yan, why ask when you already know?"

Hongye heard this, stopped where she was, pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "What kind of person is Ming Shaoxia, don't you know clearly?"

Although her words kicked the problem back...

But that expression, that appearance, that tone, was as if saying Chen Yan, stop pretending, what the matter is, both you and I know clearly!

"Hahahaha!"

A deep look flashed in Chen Yan's eyes, his right hand rested on Zhu Yi's shoulder, his left hand raised lightly, and he pointed to the woman not far away.

"That man, get it ready for your Young Master!"

Hongye smiled knowingly, threw her right hand with force, and threw the tightly wrapped thick stack of items to Zhu Yi.

"Miss Hongye, forgive me for asking, we are not related, and can even be said to have no friendship at all..."

Chen Yan smiled indifferently and said meaningfully, "Why do you and your father want to help Chen so much?"

Having mixed for so many years, he knows a truth:

There is no free lunch in the world, and there is no pie falling from the sky!

Coming to Jingzhou to investigate Inspector Ming Shaoxia, someone helped and someone sent "evidence of crimes." Is this too much of a Deus ex machina?

And where in the world would there be kindness without reason?

Even the Great Chancellor's unusual care was based on the reason of Chen Yan's late mother...

Therefore, he held a skeptical attitude toward this "evidence of crimes" and this father and daughter!

"Lord Chen Yan, you are wrong..."

Hongye shook her head, curled her lips and smiled, and corrected, "My father is not helping you, but wants to save the people of Jingzhou!"

"He doesn't want to see them continue to be fooled, and still have to be grateful to the person who played with them!"

Word by word, resounding.

Full of righteousness.

How the people of Jingzhou were played in the palm of Ming Shaoxia's hand, she and her father both saw...

There are actually such selfless people in the world... Chen Yan muttered in his heart, smacked his lips, smiled ambiguously, and said, "Interesting!"

With this starting point, he definitely couldn't do it...

Chen's positioning of himself is selfish!

But is there really such a selfless person in the world who cares about righteousness, going to great lengths to collect and send "evidence of crimes," and wanting nothing?

"My father also knows that Lord Chen Yan will not easily believe it, so this file is only for your reference, Lord..."

Hongye seemed to see through what he was thinking through Chen Yan's playful gaze, and said.

After a pause, she continued, "We will meet again, goodbye!"

After speaking, she cupped her fists toward Chen Yan, didn't stay for a moment, jumped, turned into a stream of light, and disappeared into the vast night.

And Chen Yan didn't say a word, looking at the woman's departing back with interest.

It was just that his eyes became deeper and more playful, not knowing what he was thinking...

"Lord, this has a bit of the flavor of playing hard to get..." You Xian stepped forward at the right time, bowed, and reminded.

That "know you won't easily believe," that "only for reference," and the righteous words before, You Xian smelled the flavor of retreating to advance from it.

Full of routine rhetoric, it's hard not to make people think more...

"I know."

Chen Yan nodded and responded.

After a pause, he took the file from Zhu Yi's hand, weighed it lightly, and continued, "However, since they sent it, if I don't take a look, wouldn't I be failing Miss Hongye's hard work?"

As he spoke, he pointed lightly at the ground, signaling You Xian to clean up the bodies of the assassins.

Inside the room.

Zhu Yi guarded outside.

Chen Yan sat alone at the table, spread out the "evidence of crimes" file sent by Hongye, and after a quick scan, the corners of his mouth hooked into an arc, and he muttered, "Sure enough, as I expected, the Jinghong Society is a sickle forged by Ming Shaoxia for harvesting..."

"And the wealthy and commoners of Jingzhou are the pigs and leeks he raised fat!"

It cannot be denied that this Jingzhou Inspector indeed has great governance talent...

But his starting point for Jingzhou, working hard and racking his brains, was to raise the pigs fat before killing them, and to raise the leeks long before harvesting them!

Because such results are higher.

And Ming Shaoxia's operations are not much different from the operations of some politicians in later generations...

Establish an external enemy (Jinghong Society) as a glove for his own profit.

Then sing the white face while singing the red face, shift contradictions, solve opposing voices, and can further build his own image, harvesting more love...

Benefits were taken, reputation was gained, and status was consolidated.

It can be said to be brilliant!

And when Chen Yan's gaze moved to the end of the "evidence of crimes" file and saw the words left by Hongye's father at the end:

【Lord Chen Yan, the above is the evidence I have collected over many years.】

【But based on these years of observation, and my deduction, this person Ming Shaoxia is definitely not that simple!】

【He is probably brewing a bigger and more vicious plan!】

【Must be extremely careful and cautious!!!】

"Hongye's father is not simple..."

"Thought the same as me!"

Chen Yan's gaze paused on the exhortation with the thickest ink at the end, tapped his knuckles on the table, and said in a deep voice.

Even without Hongye's father's reminder, Chen Yan had already noticed something fishy...

Ming Shaoxia racked his brains to build the Jinghong Society and harvest the fat Jingzhou, it could never be for simple plundering of gold and silver for enjoyment.

It is very likely that there is a bigger plot!

Don't forget that Jingzhou is located in a key location...

Chen Yan slowly stood up, lay on the bed, crossed his legs, looked at the top, and muttered, "I remember the information You Xian found, that famous sword master has now passed away..."

"But he once accepted a girl with the compound surname Situ before he died!"

"Situ, Situ, who among these Jingzhou officials could it be?"

Before Chen Yan arrived in Anding, he had already looked at the list of high-level officials in Jingzhou, and none of them had the compound surname Situ...

Three days later.

The Post House.

Wang Xiong and the six of them came to Chen Yan's place together and reported: "Brother Chen, six thousand elites have been drawn from the twenty thousand Jingzhou troops..."

"We have all finished training!"

Dou Lu Ling and the others nodded silently in agreement.

"Didn't encounter any resistance, right?" Chen Yan, who was studying the map of Wangmu Palace Mountain, didn't even raise his head and asked directly.

"Sima Zu was a bit unhappy..."

Wang Xiong said truthfully.

After a pause, he changed the subject and continued, "But because of Brother Chen's handwritten order, he didn't say much!"

"Also relatively cooperatively handed over the military power..."

Don't look at Wang Xiong saying it so easily, but he used means in the process...

You must know that that is the control of the Jingzhou troops. Even if Chen Yan is now temporarily acting as the highest official in Jingzhou, Zu Ting would not easily spit it out.

Therefore, Wang Xiong set up a banquet, invited Zu Ting and other high-level Jingzhou military generals, and got them drunk...

"Now we just need Brother Chen's order to go straight to Wangmu Palace Mountain to suppress the bandits!" Dou Lu Ling took up the conversation, especially when he glanced at the map on Chen Yan's table, he couldn't suppress the surge in his heart and said sternly.

During these three days of training, he almost didn't let go of the map and had long wanted to lead troops to do a big job.

"Very good!"

Chen Yan nodded and praised.

These carefully cultivated clan descendants indeed have good abilities, and they could finish training in just three days. As a future military general foundation, it is a good choice...

Immediately, he turned his head to look at Yuwen Ze on the side and asked, "A Ze, what about your side?"

Yuwen Ze's gaze was stern, he cupped his fists and said in a deep voice, "The funeral has been prepared, and the news of the funeral tomorrow has also been spread..."

Now everything is ready, just waiting for the big show to start.
