It was a turn of the day that Chen Nian faced King Xiao Dong in his study and it just so happened that Xiao Jun was there as well. The two engaged in a serious conversation and paused for a moment when they saw Chen Nian enter.
"Greetings to the King, greetings to the Prince" said Chen Nian
"Is there anything important until Minister Chen comes this early? Xiao Dong said.
"Right King, I want to report something related to the investigation of the theft of state money" Chen Nian said, Xiao Jun who sat beside Xiao Dong immediately said.
"Mentri Chen, isn't the money theft case related to the corruption case, father has ordered me to investigate. Why did Minister Chen interfere?" xiao Jun said, sounding from his tone slightly displeased.
"I don't dare to fight with the Third Prince, but this involves a member of the Chen family, of course as the head of my family it is impossible to be silent, I investigated quietly and after everything was clearly reported to the King" Chen Nian said, Xiao Dong nodded in understanding because the theft suspect was indeed from the Chen family, as Matriak naturally Chen Nian would investigate as well.
"Mentri Chen investigated secretly or wanted to free Chen Zhou?" ask Xiao Jun
"I do not dare, King if investigating secretly it is a mistake I am ready to accept punishment, but let me give a report first"
"Dad, I'm sure that Minister Chen has other intentions" Xiao Jun said as he glanced at his father. Xiao Dong was still listening to their debate.
"Officials must be concerned about the state, if they do not have personal intentions there is no need to feel guilty, Minister Chen please tell your report" said Xiao Dong, who made Xiao Jun slightly unhappy.
"Well King, in the investigation Chen Zhou was not the perpetrator of the disappearance of money and state records but the head of income Zhao Xue" said Chen Nian
"Do you have any evidence?" ask Xiao Dong
"I not only have evidence but have also caught the thief and the money has been saved back in the treasury and the notebook I have found, in order to prevent Zhao Xue from running away from the responsibility I had already detained her and she also admitted that the one who committed the corruption that the Third Prince had arrested was a plot. He slandered Chen Zhou for fear of being discovered" Chen Nian explained, Xiao Jun was secretly surprised to hear Chen Nian's explanation.
"The money is back?"
"True King"
"Mentri Chen you are obviously forced to take out the stolen goods to save Chen Zhou and all of you look for people to blame" Xiao Jun exclaimed.
"I don't dare the Prince, this King is proof of Zhao Xue's conspiracy and the thieves' plot" Chen Nian said as he took out a small book and handed it to Xiao Dong. Xiao Dong accepted it and read the contents of the book. After a while of reading he closed the book and put it on the table.
"Mentri Chen can find thieves and money in a few days, this is a great service but because it acts without orders then your mistakes are redeemed by your services alone, he said, I order Law Minister Chen and the Third Prince to cooperate in investigating the corruption case" Xiao Dong said
"I take orders"
"You take orders"

Elsewhere Ling Xu Yuan was reading a book and enjoying his tea, before long his bodyguards came to his face.
"Young Master, there is news from the spy that Xiao Jun will be here in an hour" said the bodyguard, Ling Xu Yuan put down his book.
"It seems that Xiao Feng has already solved the problem. Xiao Jun must be so angry he thinks I'm just smart and can't do anything" Ling Xu Yuan said.
"Is this Xiao Feng so great, that he realizes the Young Master's trap" the bodyguard said, Ling Xu Yuan chuckled
"He could occupy two positions out of the four Great Young Masters by himself, quietly building the Black Crow pavilion which was famous for having equal royal power and as an expert Prince in the state system,,,, he said,, then surely he is great" Ling Xu Yuan said
"We leave Youngzhou and we don't have to wait for Xiao Jun, I'm lazy to meet people I've helped but are still useless" Ling Xu Yuan said
"Good Young Master"

The news of Ling Xu Yuan's departure had already been predicted by Xiao Feng, based on the report from the person Yuan Li had sent to supervise the residence, he said, Xiao Jun who had also heard that Ling Xu Yuan had already left Youngzhou was also upset in his heart.
"If this has to be accelerated, he won't help me until the end then I alone will finish it" Xiao Jun murmured.
"What percentage of our army's preparations have been made?" xiao Jun asked his bodyguard.
"According to reports it should have been 90% coupled with the help of cultivators as soon as the next month we are ready" replied the bodyguard.
"Good then"

Chen Nian who had already returned from facing the king was certainly a little calm as his family members could be saved, he rushed towards the prison to pick up Chen Zhou. But the fun did not last long as a bodyguard reported that Chen Zhou was found dead in prison with his entire body turned blue. Chen Nian immediately ordered to take care of Chen Zhou's corpse and he rushed towards Xiao Feng's residence.
"Prince!" greet Chen Nian when he arrived at the residence and it was seen that Xiao Feng was reading the report.
"What's wrong?"
"The prince just told me that Chen Zhou was found dead in prison" Chen Nian said, Xiao Feng was shocked and kept the book he read on the table.
"Why is this, how did he die?"
"According to great information it was likely that Chen Zhou was poisoned, as both of his eyes were reddened and all of his fingernails and hands were turning blue"
"Let's get me to see Chen Zhou" Xiao Feng ordered as he stood up.
"Good Prince!"
Xiao Feng and Chen Nian then headed towards the Chen family residence to the west of the palace and there were already seen many people from the Chen family surrounding the large black coffin and a woman in her 40s seemed to cry in front of chest. When he saw the arrival of Xiao Feng everyone immediately saluted.
"Here you go, I'm here to see Chen Zhou" Xiao Feng said
"Please Prince"
Xiao Feng approached the coffin and indeed saw a man in his 50s lying stiffly inside the coffin. Xiao Feng opened the eyelids of Chen Zhou's corpse and was indeed not white but rather red like blood, Xiao Feng then looked at his blue fingernails. Instantly the shadow of his mother who died when he was a child crossed his head.
"Why Chen Zhou's death feature is the same as that of a mother when she died, it is not according to the physician that the mother died from illness" Xiao Feng murmured in his heart. Then Xiao Feng looked towards Chen Nian.
"I'll investigate this and you'll take care of Chen Zhou's body, properly mummified it and give it to his family" xiao Feng said as he handed over a small chest containing gold coins that were removed from his storage ring.
"Good Prince"
Xiao Feng immediately left the residence and headed for the central pavilion.
