Prince Qi's Mansion, study room.

"Your Highness, there is news from the palace that the emperor has decreed that the first prince Jin Wang Xiao Jue will preside over the case of Liangzhou generals smuggling salt and iron."

Pang Hu is reporting to Xiao Jie the latest situation he just found out.

Xiao Jie pretended to be injured and couldn't go out, so Pang Hu naturally became his best eyes and ears, and specially went out to inquire and collect information for him.

Although the emperor ordered or ordered not to enter Qi Palace, it was for outsiders. After all, Xiao Jie was not imprisoned in the palace.As Xiao Jie's personal guard, Pang Hu can come in and out freely with Xiao Jie's token.

After listening to Pang Hu's report, no matter how calm Xiao Jie was, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

He knew that with Wang Chong's IQ, he couldn't think of such a brilliant plan, nine out of ten it was Xiao Huang's idea.

As expected of a son of planes full of intelligence, Xiao Huang's counterattack caught him off guard.

Just as Xiao Huang guessed, he was indeed taking advantage of his own assassination to deliberately pretend to be wounded, with the purpose of disturbing the royal party's hearts, further dividing the royal party officials, and weakening the royal party's power.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Huang used him to pretend to be injured, and took the opportunity to deprive him of the presiding judge qualification for the case of Liangzhou generals smuggling salt and iron.

If this case is not presided over by him, his plan to divide and win over Wang Cheng's general will not be easy to operate.

The only good thing is that this case will be presided over by Jin Wang Xiaojue.

King Xiao Jue of Jin is also the cannon fodder villain in the original book. His mother and concubine Lu Xianfei was born in the Lu family of Fanyang, and his uncle Lu Lin is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

In the original book, Xiao Ji didn't want Wang's family to dominate, and had been secretly supporting Lu's party to contend with it.With the downfall of the Royal Party and the death of Xiao Jie, the one who benefited the most was the Lu Party. They became the most powerful force in the imperial court. After walking for a long time, they were also easily wiped out by Xiao Huang.

This may be the reason why Xiao Ji chose Xiao Jue to preside over the case of Liangzhou generals smuggling salt and iron. He wanted to use the Lu Party behind Xiao Jue to weaken the power of the Royal Party as much as possible.

When necessary, I can also consider cooperating with Xiao Jue and Lu Dang to deal with Wang Dang and Xiao Huang together.

After all, everyone knows the saying, there are no permanent enemies, and there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests.

In addition, he had to install someone of his own in this joint trial of the three divisions to have a certain right to speak.

Xiao Jie even thought of a very suitable candidate.

That is his father-in-law Su Jing.

Su Jing's current official position is Guozijian Siye, second only to his father Guozijian Jijiu Su Hong. This is an official position from the fourth rank, in charge of Confucianism and teaching. There are seven schools of laws, books, and calculations.This official position is very noble, but there is not much real power.

If there is no accident, when Su Hongzhi retires from office, Su Jing will succeed him as the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine, continuing the Su family's tradition of a scholarly family.

But Xiao Jie knew that his father-in-law, Su Jing, was not a person willing to be mediocre. He had always been unwilling to study in the Imperial College, and wanted to change to an official position with real power.

As long as a person has an idea, he will be easily used by others. Now Xiao Jie intends to take advantage of Su Jing's pursuit and pull him into his camp.

As long as Su Jing is drawn into his camp, it will be difficult for Qingliu, represented by Su Hong, to stay out of the matter.

Xiao Jie asked Pang Hu to bring Zhou Yuyi, who was sent by Xiao Ji to treat his injuries, to see him.

Pang Hu took the order to leave, Xiao Jie took out the jade whistle from his bosom and blew it out the window.

A moment later, a masked man in black slipped into the study silently and knelt down in front of Xiao Jie.

"Subordinate Jia Shiyi sees Your Highness."

Jiayi took people to Yuyang to help Xiao Jie find someone, and the Jiayiyi Xiao Jie in front of him didn't know how capable he was.

He secretly activated the skill "Looking at the Fire", and soon the attribute panel of Jia Yi Yi appeared in front of him.

Character: Jiashiyi

Command: 68

Force: 81

Intelligence: 77

Politics: 52

Charisma: 58

Xiao Jie was relieved, his martial arts were only a little worse than Jia Yi's, and his intelligence was even a little bit higher, so he just happened to help himself with a dirty job.

Xiao Jie lowered his head and wrote a name on the paper, and handed it to Jia Shiyi.

"You set off to Lujiang overnight and help me kill the person above. Remember, it must be clean and neat without leaving any traces, so that everyone will think that he died of a sudden illness. After it is done, I will reward you a lot."

Jia Shiyi took the paper, without looking at the name on it, directly clasped his fists and said, "This subordinate will definitely fulfill his mission."

Xiao Jie waved his hand, and Jia Shi flew away in an instant.

As soon as Jiashiyi left, Pang Hu brought Zhou Yuyi to the study to meet him.

As soon as Imperial Physician Zhou walked into the study and saw Xiao Jie, he froze instantly.

He was ordered by the emperor to come to Qi Palace to treat Xiao Jie's wounds, but who knew that once he entered the gate of Qi Palace, he was put under house arrest without even seeing Xiao Jie.

He kept protesting, but no one paid any attention to him at Prince Qi's mansion. Even though good wine and good food were offered to him every day, he was always worried and didn't know how Xiao Jie's injury was.

He was worried that if Xiao Jie died of serious injuries, there was a high probability that he would also be buried with him.

It's just that he never imagined that the Qi Wang Xiao Jie who everyone said was seriously injured was sitting upright on the chair at this moment, looking at him with a smile, and he didn't look seriously injured at all.

"Doctor Zhou, thanks to your ingenious hand rejuvenation, Gu's injury has almost healed, and you can return to the palace tomorrow." Xiao Jie smiled and expressed his gratitude for his treatment.

Doctor Zhou was completely dumbfounded. He had been in Qi Palace for so long and only saw Xiao Jie for the first time tonight. How could he have treated his injuries.

He also vaguely guessed that Xiao Jie was fine at all, but he was just pretending to be hurt.

"Your Highness, forgive me, the villain dare not deceive the emperor." Zhou Yuyi lowered his head and did not dare to look at Xiao Jie, and muttered.

Xiao Jie smiled lightly: "You can tell the truth to my father, but if you talk nonsense with other people, I guarantee that not only you, but your whole family will die without a burial."

Physician Zhou was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Your Highness, please forgive me, I dare not."

Xiao Jie nodded slightly, as long as he knew he was afraid.
