Chapter 1811: Revenge
Translator: Lonelytree
“Hall Master, Sect Master has already agreed to meet you!”
Yuwen Xuhong once again passed through the secret passage in the residence and arrived at the small courtyard in the suburbs.
“Is that so? When?” Yuwen Xuhong couldn’t suppress the excitement and happiness on his face.
Recently, on the surface, he was reflecting on his mistakes in the residence, but in secret, he was secretly contacting the outside forces through the secret passage in the residence.
He had always wanted to win over the Yama Pavilion as a force in Jiang Hu.
As long as he could use the Yama Pavilion, then he could use it in the Imperial Court to eradicate his opponents.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to conceal his identity and put down his status. He hid in the Yama Pavilion and became a small assassin. Because he completed his mission effectively and had outstanding achievements, he was quickly promoted to branch hall master.
However, that was all he could do. It was impossible for him to enter the headquarters with his status.
He had concealed his identity and sneaked into the Yama Pavilion. However, with the Yama Pavilion’s status in Jiang Hu, it had become an existence that everyone feared. How could he not even find out the identity of one of the higher-ups?
Little did he know that after Yuwen Xuhong had infiltrated the Yama Pavilion, all his information had been placed on someone’s desk.
The reason why they didn’t touch him was because they wanted to see what he wanted to do.
Yuwen Xuhong, who still didn’t know that his identity had been exposed, had always been a small hall master. He was anxious and unwilling.
He wanted to be the overlord of the world. How could he be willing to stop at a small hall master? Moreover, if he wanted to control this force, he had to go to the headquarters.
However, he had plenty of patience.
However, with Lin Yuelan’s appearance, the two major powers in the imperial court, Noble Consort Zhou and Consort Liu De, had collapsed because of her. The balance of power in the imperial court had been broken. Moreover, the relationship between the State Guarding General, Jiang Zhennan, and the Crown Prince, Yuwen Yanyu, had gradually become closer. The officials in the imperial court had gradually moved closer to the Crown Prince. It was very obvious that they had the intention of supporting the Crown Prince.
If this continued, would he still have any hope of ascending to that position in the future?
Yuwen Xuhong became more and more anxious and impatient.
He had to deal a heavy blow to the Crown Prince’s power.
At this moment, the opportunity came.
Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan were privately mining two mines, one gold mine and one iron mine.
According to the laws of the Longyan Dynasty, once a metal mineral resource was discovered without the emperor’s decree, it was forbidden for a person, a family, or a local force to mine it. The person would be beheaded and sentenced to death!
Therefore, he wanted to use this opportunity to pull Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan down and get rid of the Crown Prince’s right-hand man. This way, even if Yuwen Yanyu was still sitting in the Crown Prince’s position, it was already on the verge of collapse. As long as he made use of some opportunities, such as getting Yama Pavilion to eliminate his opponents, he would be able to pull Yuwen Yanyu down.
As long as Yuwen Yanyu’s position as Crown Prince was gone, then in the Imperial Court, who else was more qualified to be the Crown Prince than him?
Good plan!
However, the plans were not as good as the changes!
Princess Linglong, who had married into his mansion, was actually a pawn to cover up the deal between him and the Black Clouds Kingdom.
However, he did not expect that Princess Linglong was not the real Princess Linglong. Instead, she was Zhou Wenya in disguise. Lin Yuelan found a flaw in her disguise and almost exposed his deal with the Black Cloud Kingdom.
Fortunately, they had no concrete evidence.
Imperial Grandfather had only grounded him in the Imperial Grandprince Manor to wake him up.
However, he didn’t expect that he would suddenly know such important news.
Lin Yuelan actually had so many businesses in her hands.
With the wealth in her hands, if she were to support any of the princes and grand princes with so much money and wealth, it would definitely be like adding wings to a tiger.
However, if the wealth in her hands supported Jiang Zhennan’s rebellion, it would be a great threat to the Yuwen family’s empire.
With money and soldiers, how could a rebellion not succeed?
This was a great taboo for every emperor!
Of course, this time, he definitely could not rashly run to the Emperor and expose Lin Yuelan.
He had to find out everything and see if the emperor knew about the businesses in Lin Yuelan’s hands.
He didn’t want to be like the last time, earning nothing and even getting himself losing stuff.
