Chapter 343 Heading to the Border Town
Two days after Lan Yi left.
Ye Hanting looked at all the evidence on the table.
In recent days, he has conducted extensive investigations, but has found insufficient evidence to prove that the Grand Canal Governor Sun Lin was corrupt and abused his power for personal gain.
It seems that Emperor Qingyuan was indeed targeting him in this round.
"Chiyan, simply pack up your things and prepare to leave."
Chi Yan's eyes lit up, "Master, are we going to look for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
The corners of Ye Hanting's lips slightly raised, "Quite smart."
"Okay." Chi Yan immediately went to pack up.
Ye Hanting was sitting alone in the house, when suddenly, the house was surrounded by people.
Several swords were placed on Ye Hanting's neck at the same time.
The Governor of the Grand Canal, Sun Lin, walked in from outside the door and looked at Ye Hanting who was sitting there steadily.
Even though there was a sword at his neck, he remained imposing and calm.
"Master Taifu, you are well-read and talented, so you should know what I am doing here."
Ye Hanting looked at him calmly, "You want to be in power? This is what happens when you follow His Majesty. You'll be the next one."
Sun Lin smiled awkwardly, "Master Taifu, I have long been your Majesty's right-hand man and have done many things for your Majesty in Jiangnan. You are just a chess piece that your Majesty has abandoned."
His eyes gradually became sinister, "Come here, search for the Xuanyuan Order and send Master Taifu on his way."
The person next to Ye Hanting reached out his hand to search him for something.
Ye Hanting's internal force shook, and several people's arms became numb instantly. The hands holding the swords were injured. Several people took a few steps back and barely stood firm.
Sun Lin's pupils shocked. Ye Hanting actually knew martial arts!
And the internal force is so strong.
Another group of killers rushed in, and Ye Hanting quickly dealt with them.
He picked up the fan on the table and stood up. The killers were groaning in pain on the ground.
Sun Lin swallowed his saliva, nervously drew out his sword and stabbed Ye Hanting.
Ye Hanting grabbed his wrist and effortlessly placed the sword on Sun Lin's neck.
Sun Lin's arms were completely restrained. In the face of absolute strength, his strength was not worth mentioning.
The killers besieged Ye Hanting again. Ye Hanting opened the folding fan in his hand and shot darts.
In an instant, there were several more corpses on the ground.
Sun Lin became even more terrified. The cold sword was at his neck, and Ye Hanting's oppressive voice came.
"Didn't you ask who this Master is and how much blood is on his hands?"
Sun Lin was sweating profusely and his legs were unsteady.
"Master Taifu, please spare my life. I will follow your lead from now on!"
Ye Hanting sneered, "The governor of the Grand Canal was investigated for corruption, destroyed the evidence, and committed suicide out of fear of punishment."
"No, no, no! Please, ahhhh, don't kill me!" Sun Lin's pupils dilated and his voice was hoarse.
Ye Hanting had an expressionless face. He held Sun Lin's hand and used the sword in his hand to cut his neck.
Warm blood flowed from Sun Lin's neck. When he fell to the ground, he still held the sword tightly in his hand.
"Master!" Chi Yan came in.
Ye Hanting wiped the blood that splashed on his hands with a handkerchief, then walked to the copper basin and washed his hands.
He said calmly, "Go and tell Li Nan, the governor of Jiangnan, and let him handle it."
"Yes, master." Chi Yan did it immediately.
When Li Nan arrived, he saw only corpses on the ground and the destroyed evidence.
The coroner came to examine the body, "Sir, Lord Sun committed suicide."
Li Nan looked at the traces of fighting in the house and guessed that the Grand Tutor must have found evidence of Sun Lin's favoritism and corruption.
Then Sun Lin came to assassinate the tutor, but the assassination attempt failed, so he committed suicide.
Ye Hanting is the current imperial tutor, and he is the living king of hell who decides life and death.
It only takes a thought to decide who to kill.
He looked at the clerk beside him who had a frightened look on his face and gave instructions.
"The Grand Tutor found evidence that Sun Lin was corrupt and abused his power for personal gain. Sun Lin came to assassinate him, but failed. He wrote a secret letter about what happened today and sent it to the capital."
"Yes, my lord."
Ye Hanting rode away with Chi Yan on horseback.
Chi Yan asked him, "Master, it will take us six days to get to the border town from here. It's a long journey. How about we take a carriage?"
"No need." Ye Hanting was very worried about Chu Li, so naturally the sooner the better.
Since Emperor Qingyuan is determined to eliminate him, Chu Li is also in danger.
Although he believed in Chu Li's ability, he still couldn't help worrying about her.
Chi Yan understood how anxious Ye Hanting was, so he jumped on his horse and caught up with Ye Hanting.
......
There were several clashes between the Great Chu Army and the Golden Scale Army.
During these times, Chu Li clearly felt that the Jinlin Kingdom was about to be unable to continue the fight.
The army was short of silver and food, and the people complained bitterly.
Chu Li discovered that the spy was Qian Cheng, and when he went to capture him, he had already escaped.
Four days passed and some military rations from the court began to arrive, which surprised Chu Li.
In addition to the grain and fodder delivered by the grain transport officers, Lao Liu also stored some grain with the help of his business empire.
Now that we have enough food and supplies, we need to prepare for the final battle.
Chu Li put on his armor and was about to go out when Mu Jiangge came to report anxiously.
"Commander, it's bad. The Xirong army took advantage of the situation and clashed with the Mu family army on the border."
Xie Jingchuan also came in panting, "General Mu has led the Mu family army to fight them for a day and a night, so the main force of the Mu family army cannot reinforce us."
Mu Jiangge analyzed in a low voice, "If the Golden Scale Army attacks us at this moment, our chances of winning are slim, but we are not afraid, we will fight if we fight."
After listening to what the two said, Chu Li arranged the combat deployment.
"Don't panic, follow the procedures and don't let the Golden Scale Army notice anything unusual."
"Yes, coach!"
......
The spy who was eavesdropping outside the tent told Chu Yue the news.
Chu Yue put his hand on the hilt of the sword and asked in confusion: "Aren't those Xirong people scared by my attack? How dare they come here?"
She changed her mind and decided to let Chu Li be surrounded by enemies. She would take action when he was exhausted.
Then another spy came to report, "It's not good, General, the Golden Scale Army... the army is pressing, ...
Chu Yue sat leisurely in the main seat, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not panicking, why are you panicking? Keep exploring!"
The spy left quickly.
An hour later the spy came back with the report.
"General, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Golden Scale Army are fighting fiercely. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has beaten Long Mohan so badly that he has no chance to defend himself. General Xie and General Jiang have teamed up to deal with their general Qian Meng, who is almost unable to hold on. Right now, the Great Chu Army has the upper hand!"
When Chu Yue heard this, her heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that Chu Li was going to win? If he led his troops to completely suppress the Golden Scale Army, his reputation would definitely be greater than hers from then on.
After this battle, Chu Li will surely be loved even more strongly by the people of Great Chu.
Then she would have no chance of becoming queen.
Chu Yue's eyes were gloomy, "Go and continue exploring."
After the spy left, Chu Yue called his secret guard and whispered something in his ear.
