CH 209 Xiao Jun began to act
*****
Not even the night passed replaced with a slightly cold morning, Xiao Feng and Feng Xi who spent the night drinking wine and looking at the fireworks did not realize that the two were already asleep with Feng Xi hugging Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng woke up first when he felt his chest rising, he opened his eyes slowly and saw that there was an arm above his chest and a breath was blowing through his face, Xiao Feng looked to the side but did not wake up immediately.
"He hugged me from last night" Xiao Feng muttered in his heart while looking at Feng Xi's beautiful peaceful face while sleeping. Not long after he saw the girl's eyelids slowly opening, Xiao Feng quickly closed his eyes pretending to be asleep. Feng Xi opened his eyes and immediately glared as his hand was on top of Xiao Feng's chest hugging him.
"Well, I fell asleep like this" he murmured then quickly got up and took a deep breath and exhaled. He glanced again at Xiao Feng who was still asleep in his vision.
"Thank God he hasn't woken up, otherwise I'm like a fool hugging him" Feng Xi said.
"Who is stupid" said a voice heard behind him and when he saw it Xiao Feng was awake. Feng Xi quickly stood up.
"Ehm, there's nothing just that we're like fools sleeping here haha" Feng Xi said with an awkward laugh, Xiao Feng just smiled. Then he stood up and tidied the chair back into the storage ring.
"Haaahh well because it's morning we should go home" Xiao Feng said then held Feng Xi's hand and took her flying, the girl just kept silent not resisting when Xiao Feng held her hand, however the smile and red hue were clearly imprinted on his face.

Xiao Feng had already returned to his residence but this time with Feng Xi, the two of them were in Xiao Feng's study. Shortly after, the door was knocked.
"Boom!"
The door opened and the figure of the beautiful girl who turned out to be Law Minister Chen Nian, Chen Nian was slightly surprised to see Xiao Feng with a girl.
"Ehmm, sorry the prince seems to be bothering me" Chen Nian said, Xiao Feng smiled.
"What did Minister Chen see me? asked Xiao Feng. Chen Nian then took out a small book and gave it to Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng accepted and read it.
"Hmm, the two vice ministers are corruption 500,000 gold coins and this is a very large amount and the father ordered Xiao Jun to investigate" Xiao Feng said after reading the contents of the book.
"Right Prince, the King had written the edict this morning, but there was something strange"
"What's that?"
"According to the information of the two vice ministers who committed corruption were people from the faction and supporters of the Third Prince, how could he hand over his person to be executed" Chen Nian said, Xiao Feng stroked his chin.
"Looks like the king has given a lot of money to strengthen the army and for the sake of getting the appreciation of the third Prince you give up his own person on the other hand he can use this opportunity to break ties with corrupt officials and clean up his name, I believe that at least some of the corrupted money goes into the Third Prince's personal pocket" said Feng Xi who from earlier listening, Xiao Feng also confirmed what Feng Xi said.
"Hmm it makes sense also what you said" Xiao Feng said.
"Miss's words are absolutely correct, we from the law division also concluded this but the new miss heard can immediately conclude really miss has sharp intuition" Chen Nian said with a smile praising Feng Xi.
"Hahaha that's just an estimate and don't call me miss, just call me Feng Xi" Feng Xi said and left Chen Nian shocked.
"It turns out you are the famous Bai Feng Xi, greetings to Miss Feng Xi I am Chen Nian from the Youngzhou law ministry" Chen Nian said as he cupped his hands together.
"The rumored lady minister is tough and great in Youngzhou's history I am truly honored to meet you" Feng Xi exclaimed.
"Xiao Jun lately had a relationship with Ling Xu Yuan, I don't know what he meant to come to Youngzhou but if he helped Xiao Jun from behind, I don't know if he was going to help Xiao Jun from behind, I'm afraid that Xiao Jun has other plans" Xiao Feng said
"What does the Third Prince mean to want to clear the barrier?"
"Hmm the king has spent a lot of money and of course the state treasury is thinning, even if Third Prince Xiao Jun makes a mistake as long as he gets the evidence and the money can be returned, I think the king will pretend not to see it let alone he has the king's word will certainly be more free to act" said Feng Xi. Xiao Feng and Chen Nian nodded in affirmation.
"I didn't expect Miss Feng to know about the court of the palace, usually the cultivators don't really understand the affairs of the kingdom" Chen Nian praised, Feng Xi just smiled.
"She has definitely understood because she is Princess Xiyun of Qingzhou" Xiao Feng said in her heart, she did not reveal Feng Xi's true identity to others.
"Tell everyone we should not make this mistake because I thought that Ling Xu Yuan would not help Xiao Jun that simply, especially if he was also always by Huang Zhi Yan's side, we all know that all the kingdoms and empires on the surface look good but actually compete with each other and there is a possibility to seize other kingdoms and control the world" Xiao Feng said.
"Does Ling Xu Yuan mean to disturb Youngzhou?" ask Chen Nian.
"It is not impossible, this number one young man has big ambitions, later I will tell Yuan Li to send another person to watch Ling Xu Yuan's movements" Xiao Feng said.

On the other hand Xiao Jun was now facing King Xiao Dong.
"Greetings to father," said Xiao Jun, Xiao Dong who was reading the report stopping his activities.
"What makes you panic?"
"Dad, the treasury of the palace was broken into and the cash stored in the coffin had been stolen"
"What,," Xiao Dong was startled then stood up "Explain!"
"I after receiving direct orders to conduct an investigation started from the palace treasury, but officers found that the chest where the money was stored was lost and even the notebook was also lost" said Xiao Jun
"How dare, I just want to punish the corrupt even lost cash" Xiao Dong said furiously and saw Xiao Jun who was still kneeling.
"Isn't this too coincidental, are there insiders working together?" xiao Dong asked, Xiao Jun simply kept silent.
"Why don't you answer?"
"I'm sorry my father is worried that the evidence is not enough and in the end I will be accused of framing high-ranking officials"
"Say!"
"I've interrogated corrupt officials, there's one involved and he's Chen Zhou the deputy state revenue ministry and he's assigned as the state treasury supervisor, Law Minister Chen Nian this morning met Second Brother. Chen Zhou is the person most suspected of carrying cash and he is the person of second brother" Xiao Jun said.
"Hmm, I see, you've arrested and interrogated Chen Zhou first. If you are really involved investigate everything, do not miss it" Xiao Dong ordered
"Good dad!"
