Chapter 596: Criticizing the Emperor Behind His Back Is Considered Disrespectful

As the truth was investigated in depth, Xie Jin found that the Yun family was in a mess, which really fulfilled the saying "seven melons on one vine", and he reaped a lot of rewards.

Before coming to Shangning, he only knew that Su Ce's brother-in-law was the son-in-law of Yun Teng, the old patriarch of the Yun family, and the brother-in-law of the current patriarch Yun Yi. The Su family and the Yun family should have a common interest relationship, or it can be said that the Yun family was able to grow so fast under the protection of Su Ce.

After all, it is easy to get things done with someone in the court.

However, the facts were beyond their expectations.

Su Ce turned out to be the child husband of the Yun family, that is, the person Su Ce was supposed to marry was not his current wife, but Yun Xiang, the daughter of the Yun family, but for some reason - oh, well, it was probably because the daughter of the Yun family fell in love with Mrs. Su's brother, so Su Ce got rid of the identity of the child husband and married the current Mrs. Su.

But although he could not be a child-raising husband, Su Ce could not break away from the relationship with the Yun family. He was always controlled by the Yun family. In recent years, he climbed up step by step in the court and used his power to provide many conveniences for the Yun family. As Su Ce climbed higher and higher in the court, the power of the Yun family also grew larger and larger, gradually becoming the veritable "uncrowned king" in Shangning.

During the years when the emperor was in power, the Yun family took too many benefits and expanded their appetite. In the past few years, they even recruited soldiers and set up a private horse farm in Shangning, becoming a local overlord. Now that the empress has ascended the throne and the regent is in power, the Yun family wants to continue to use Su Ce's identity to satisfy their own desires, and they don't know how to restrain themselves, which attracted the attention of the regent.

As for Ye Yun, he was actually the product of Yun Yi and Yun Xiang's one-night stand when they were young, but Yun Xiang later married Yin Changhuai, the younger brother of Su Furen Yin, and Yun Yi also married the daughter of a wealthy family. In order to avoid family scandals, the Yun family asked the wet nurse to secretly take the child away.

After Yun Yi got married, Yun Die and Ye Yun became half-siblings.

After hearing the truth, Xuanyuan Yao was shocked for a long time: "This..."

"It's too messy, isn't it?" Xie Jin held the teacup and admired the little leopard's rare dumbfounded expression for a while, "I think it's messy enough."

Xuanyuan Yao frowned, digesting it for a long time but still a little confused: "Isn't Su Ce the head of the Su family? The Su family has existed among the powerful families in Dongling for a hundred years and is one of the four major families. Su Ce was born as the eldest son of the Su family. How could he be the child husband of the Yun family? Isn't this wrong?"

What went wrong?

"There are always absurdities in the world." Xie Jin said calmly, "I'm afraid this Su Ce is not the real Su family's legitimate son."

Xuanyuan Yao was surprised: "You mean, he is a fake?"

Xie Jin nodded: "If you want to check his life experience, you have to spend extra effort, but I think the real Su family's legitimate son should have died decades ago, otherwise all this is unreasonable - as for whether he died twenty or thirty years ago, it would be difficult to dig it out without a little effort."

After all, it has been sealed for too long, so long that the people who knew about it at the time may have been silenced.

Xuanyuan Yao frowned: "This involves decades ago, when we were not born yet."

He really didn't expect that the Shangning Yun family was so deep.

Xie Jin raised the corner of his lips slightly: "I thought you would be more interested in Ye Yun's life experience."

Ye Yun's life experience?

Xuanyuan Yao frowned, a look of disgust flashed across his face: "The Yun family is full of corrupt personal ethics, a place that harbors filth and dirt, and is simply the scum of the world."

Xie Jin leaned lazily on the couch, one leg across Xuanyuan Yao's knee, and took advantage of him unscrupulously: "Although I don't seem to be qualified to judge other people's behavior now, but brothers and sisters who do such things are indeed corrupt personal ethics, no different from animals."

Xuanyuan Yao was stunned, looking at him silently, and didn't speak for a long time.

"Ye Yun's leg disease is not congenital, but was poisoned by Yun Yi. In fact, Yun Yi may want to kill him because Ye Yun's existence is the biggest stain and evidence of his life." Xie Jin said in a faint voice, "Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. Ye Yun has a powerful backer behind him. The Yun family can't kill him, and they haven't found out who is behind Ye Yun yet."

Xuanyuan Yao thought, "The person behind Ye Yun..."

"Yao Yao can guess."

Xuanyuan Yao suddenly raised his eyes, with surprise in his eyes: "Is it you?"

Xie Jin shook his head: "To be honest, he and I are on the same side, but I didn't know this person until I came to Shangning."

Don't know?

Xuanyuan Yao looked at him for a moment, then stood up suddenly: "The one arranged by the master?!"

"Yaoyao, why are you so excited?" Xie Jin slowly retracted his legs, held his forehead and sighed, "So I came to a conclusion that the master should have known all the actions of the Shangning Yun family, and the relationship between Su Ce and the Yun family should have been clear in his mind."

Xuanyuan Yao's expression was calm, and he was silent for a long time before slowly sitting back: "So when we finish investigating the case and go back, if there are any omissions, the master will definitely think that we are not doing a good job or are lazy and slacking."

"You can think about it in a positive way." Xie Jin laughed, "This time we came out to investigate the case, in fact, it is the master's opportunity to give us a chance to accumulate political achievements. No matter what the final result is, the fate of the Yun family and the Su family is already determined. If we do a better job, we will naturally be rewarded when we go back. If we don't do a good job, we will definitely be punished."

Xuanyuan Yao's expression was really complicated. He stared at Xie Jin for a long time. He finally couldn't help but mutter: "Do you think the master is too deep and cunning? He hid it so deeply..."

"It is considered disrespectful to criticize the king behind his back." Xie Jin raised his eyebrows, "If the master knew about this, Yaoyao, you-"

"You just heard it wrong." Xuanyuan Yao's face was serious, and he said seriously, "I am praising the master for his wisdom and wisdom."

Xie Jin couldn't help but chuckle: "Do you think that I am young and my hearing is bad?"

Xuanyuan Yao glared at him.

"Yaoyao, you can coax me." Xie Jin's voice was a little lower, with a bit of bewitching meaning, "If you coax me, I won't complain to the master."

Xuanyuan Yao looked at him unhappily: "When are you still here with wild thoughts? Hurry up and get up to work."

As he said, he got up first and walked out.

"Yaoyao." Xie Jin called him, "Why are you in such a hurry? It's daytime now, it's not convenient to move, let's go at night."

Xuanyuan Yao paused and turned to look at him.

Xie Jin's smile deepened: "I won't complain, don't worry."
