Chapter 221: - The Snake Swallows the Elephant

To the people of the Xiao Family, the establishment of the Law Enforcement Hall was definitely an earth-shattering event, because the establishment of the Law Enforcement Hall meant a major cleansing operation within the Xiao Family.

The next day, after the five elders jointly released the news of the establishment of the Law Enforcement Hall, the Xiao family shook the whole clan, from the first line of clansmen down to the ordinary guards and maids, everyone seemed to have a premonition of what was going on, and also guessed that the establishment of the Law Enforcement Hall, I’m afraid, was promoted by Xiao Chen.

The whole Xiao family is talking about the matter of the Law Enforcement Hall, and this, Xiao Chen did not care in the slightest, 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 are the five elders selected from the Xiao family’s direct lineage clansmen, of course, there is no Xiao family second master and third master’s people.

Only twenty people, at this time, facing Xiao Chen, the eyes of all people cannot help but reveal a touch of worship, for them, Xiao Chen is the pride of the Xiao family, without Xiao Chen, there is no Xiao family today.

With a faint smile on his face, his gaze swept over the people one by one, and at the end, Xiao Chen calmly opened his mouth and said, “Do you know what the purpose of the Law Enforcement Hall was established?”

“I know.” Faced with Xiao Chen’s inquiry, the crowd answered back with one voice.

It was obvious that the five elders had already introduced to them about all the affairs of the Law Enforcement Hall, so naturally, Xiao Chen did not need to bother with more words, with a faint smile, Xiao Chen continued.

“Good, then today I will give you the first task, proceed to investigate the matter of the second and third masters, no need to worry, I just want the truth.”

The Law Enforcement Hall was established, and Xiao Chen’s first task was to start investigating the second and third masters, hearing this, the twenty people present did not change colour too much, as if they had expected it.

Respectfully answered, then Xiao Chen is let the crowd dispersed, has begun to the second master and the third master, after the crowd left, Xiao Chen looked up to the sky, said in a flat tone, “Second uncle, third uncle, I hope you do not seek your own death ah.”

Xiao Chen has already begun to act. At the same time, another part of the Xiao family 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 of the Xiao family and the third master the two sat facing each other, and looking at the faces of the two of them, it was obviously a bit ugly.

The second master’s name is Xiao Mu, the third master’s name is Xiao Feng, at this time the two gathered together, the third master Xiao Feng took the lead and said, “Second brother, this kid Xiao Chen formed the Law Enforcement Hall as soon as he came back, this is obviously towards us, that guy Xiao Qing can’t bear to lay hands on us, but this kid Xiao Chen has no scruples, you and I should make early preparations.”

The news of the establishment of the Law Enforcement Hall had been received long ago, and, with Xiao Feng and Xiao Mu’s identities, they obviously knew more about the inside story.

Moreover, they quickly guessed that the biggest reason for Xiao Chen to form the Law Enforcement Hall was because of the two of them.

Hearing Xiao Feng’s words, the second master Xiao Mu said after a moment of silence, “Third brother, you should understand Xiao Chen’s energy, I say, let’s forget it, now that Xiao Chen has returned, everything has already gone.”

Facing Xiao Chen, Xiao Mu retreated. There was no way. Xiao Chen’s reputation in the Xiao family was unparalleled. Now that Xiao Chen is back, it is almost impossible to fight for power in his hands.

The first time I heard this, I immediately refused, “Second brother, we have worked so hard for so long, are you willing to give up now? There is still one more step, just one more step to force Xiao Qing to abdicate, then the whole Xiao family will still be ours, moreover, we still have the Crown Prince behind us.”

Xiao Feng was unwilling to give up, and his mouth actually said His Highness the Crown Prince, hearing about His Highness the Crown Prince, Xiao Mu’s face also changed.

To be frank, the reason why both 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, after the help of the crown prince, and this crown prince, naturally is the crown prince of Ling Feng country Mo Feng.

Unlike his father Mo Yao, Mo Feng, the current prince, to the Xiao Family of Lingshan County, it was like a fishbone stuck in his throat, like a choking in his throat.

In fact, this is not surprising. In the face of an existence that is almost a country within a country, I believe that no emperor will allow it, but because of Xiao Chen’s existence, the Xiao family dare not make any changes in the royal family, and there is no way.

It is also because he did not dare to make enemies with the Xiao family, so the emperor Mo Yao chose the strategy of friendship with the Xiao family, but the crown prince Mo Feng is different, he did not choose to carry out his father’s policy to make friends with the Xiao family, but instead, he used another means, the intention to control the Xiao family, and this means, is to support his own people to the throne, control the Xiao family power.

There is no doubt that Xiao Mu and Xiao Feng are the people Mo Feng chose, so over the past few years, Mo Feng has spared no effort to help the two to seize power.

No one expected that behind the Xiao family’s infighting there was the shadow of the royal family, and Crown Prince Mo Feng, it must be said that he is indeed a very ambitious person.

Obviously he knew that Xiao Chen existed in the Xiao family, but he still dared to do so. Perhaps his purpose was to make Ling Feng have only one voice, that is, the royal family.

Hearing Xiao Feng mention His Highness the Crown Prince, Xiao Mu froze, and seeing this, Xiao Feng continued.

“Second brother, last night I already sent a letter to His Highness the Crown Prince, and His Highness also wrote back that he would come personally, now everything is ready, only this last critical kick is missing ah, second brother, at this time we cannot back off, otherwise everything that was done earlier, all for nothing.”

Xiao Feng then advised, and from his words, it is not difficult to hear that the two of them are ready to do everything, will succeed in driving Xiao Qing out of the head of the family, then the Xiao family power in the hands of the two brothers.

In the end, Xiao Mu also gritted his teeth and chose to let go.

At the time when Xiao Feng and Xiao Mu were having a secret talk, Prince Mo Feng left the imperial capital of Ling Feng Kingdom in secret, bringing only a few dozen of his personal guards with him.

Riding on the first-rank demonic beast Chasing Wind Horse, he quickly rushed towards Ling Shen County, while sitting in the centre of the carriage, Mo Feng whispered to himself with a touch of coldness flashing in his eyes.

“Xiao Chen, I know you are very powerful, but since I am the crown prince of Ling Feng Country, then I will never allow a country within a country to exist within the Ling Feng Country, so the Xiao family can only submit to the royal family this way.”

The words fell, Mo Feng eyes slightly closed, the corners of his mouth hanging a faint smile, the carriage soon became pin-drop, only the sound of horse hooves constantly sounded.
