Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder's Daily Rise to Power and Face-Slapping

Chapter 320 Slapping the Face of the Treacherous Regent 15

“Xuanming is the eldest son of the Left Prime Minister. Having been by the Left Prime Minister’s side for so many years, he must know many unspeakable secrets. These should naturally be asked.”

"Chen An, Xuanming is in your hands. Let's see if you can get him to talk."

Leng Yuexing spoke in a calm tone, as if she were talking about something very ordinary.

Chen An's expression was resolute. Now that he had joined the Embroidered Uniform Guard, interrogation was just a routine task, and he had already done his homework.

The dark room was fully equipped. Chen An's eyes sharpened, and he took the first step by picking up a handy tool from the shelf next to him.

Xuanming wasn't too stubborn. Before Chen An even used the third tool, he couldn't help but wail and tell Chen An everything he knew.

Unfortunately, Leng Yuexing had the information given to him by the sapling as a reference, and discovered that Xuan Ming's confession was half true and half false, and that a trap had been set for him.

Upon learning this, Chen An immediately used the third tool that he felt was most suitable.

After using the third tool, Chen An and Xuan Ming were covered in blood.

Xuanming still refused to tell the truth.

Leng Yuexing frowned and then stepped forward.

"Chen An, you did a good job, but it's not only bleeding that causes pain; some pain that doesn't bleed is the most painful."

After Leng Yuexing finished speaking, he raised his hand and gently pressed an acupoint on Xuanming's body.

In an instant, Xuanming felt as if his brain was being hammered. The intense pain lasted only three seconds before he couldn't bear it any longer and blurted out everything.

Leng Yuexing noted everything down, then instructed Chen An to continue guarding Xuanming, while he dispatched the Jinyiwei he had previously chosen to jointly guard Xuanming.

Not long after Leng Yuexing left, twenty Imperial Guards arrived one after another, ten of them in the secret room and ten guarding outside.

Xuanming doesn't need so many guards, but to prevent the Left Prime Minister from rescuing Xuanming, Leng Yuexing arranged for more people to watch over him.

Shortly after Leng Yuexing left, the Left Chancellor also received news that Xuanming had been arrested.

Xuanming's failure to kill Leng Yuexing despite having so many assassins left the Left Prime Minister deeply disappointed.

After learning that Leng Yuexing and Chen An had guarded Xuanming for a whole night, the Left Prime Minister knew that things were not so simple.

He had a vague feeling that all of this was directed at him.

Having been in officialdom for a long time, the Left Chancellor sometimes managed to avoid many troubles simply by relying on his intuition.

Now, he places great trust in his intuition.

After pondering all night, the Left Chancellor sent his attendant to the palace to request leave, citing illness as the reason.

Other officials perceived this as the Left Chancellor showing weakness.

However, in the eyes of Leng Yuexing and Shangguan Jingzhi, the Left Prime Minister was clearly hiding other conspiracies.

In order to uncover the Left Prime Minister's conspiracy as soon as possible, Leng Yuexing secretly summoned the remaining Imperial Guards and ordered them to investigate the Left Prime Minister's unusual behavior.

Meanwhile, Leng Yuexing planned to infiltrate the Left Prime Minister's residence and investigate it.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jingzhi tried his best to stop it.

"Yuexing, these matters can be handled by the secret guards. You can rest in the palace and wait for their report." Shangguan Jingzhi held Leng Yuexing's hands tightly.

“If everything is left to others, then there’s no need for me, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, to exist,” Leng Yuexing said with a light laugh.

"Your bodyguards will protect you closely; leave the rest to me!" Leng Yuexing looked at Shangguan Jingzhi firmly.

Before Shangguan Jingzhi could say anything more, Leng Yuexing leaned over and silenced him with a kiss.

While Shangguan Jingzhi was stunned, he broke free from Shangguan Jingzhi's grip on his hand, chuckled lightly, and turned to leave.

As soon as Leng Yuexing's figure disappeared through the doorway, Shangguan Jingzhi's slightly upturned lips instantly vanished.

“Dark One!” Shangguan Jingzhi said in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, a man in black suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Yes!" the man in black replied in a low voice.

"Stay with Yuexing and don't let him get hurt!"

"Yes!"

After responding, the man in black darted out the window.

Outside the window, the night, thick as ink, quietly spread out, as if a huge and heavy black curtain was slowly descending, enveloping the entire world.

Leng Yuexing moved swiftly through the darkness, and soon he spotted An Yi following behind him.

He stopped, wanting to know who was following him.

After discovering that An Yi was wearing the unique black outfit of the secret guards, he realized that Shangguan Jingzhi had sent him to follow him, probably for the purpose of protecting him.

"Did Shangguan Jingzhi send you to protect me?" Leng Yuexing asked in a low voice.

An Yi was surprised that Leng Yuexing had discovered him so quickly. He paused for a second, then respectfully replied, "Yes!"

Leng Yuexing chuckled lightly, "Follow me, you're quite capable." With that, he turned and continued speeding towards the Left Prime Minister's residence.

An Yi followed closely behind Leng Yuexing, barely managing to keep up even at his fastest speed, and was quite surprised.

He was called Dark One because his abilities ranked first among the Dark Guards.

Even he could barely keep up with Leng Yuexing, which shows how powerful Leng Yuexing was.

Just as he was sighing, Leng Yuexing slipped into the Left Prime Minister's residence.

The Left Prime Minister's residence is located in the heart of the capital city. Its estate covers a vast area and boasts magnificent architecture.

The security measures at the Left Prime Minister's residence were extremely tight, with patrol teams moving between the courtyards and corridors inside the mansion.

Although they were dressed as servants, Leng Yuexing could tell at a glance that they were all trained martial artists.

The garden's rockeries, ponds, and other corners are also concealed with sentries to ensure that no blind spots can escape surveillance.

Seizing the opportunity, Leng Yuexing slipped into the Prime Minister's residence the moment they relaxed their guard.

Then, guided by his intuition, he found the Left Chancellor and his advisors who were discussing matters in the study.

He gently moved the glazed tiles off the roof, and the sounds from the study clearly reached Leng Yuexing's ears.

"Prime Minister, there is no time to lose; now is the time for us to take action!"

"Since the young master was arrested, he may have already revealed everything he knew."

"Although we've kept everything we've done a secret from him, if the Embroidered Uniform Guard discovers anything from his confession, then everything we've planned so far will be for naught!"

…………

The three advisors surrounded the Left Chancellor, talking amongst themselves. Although they didn't explicitly state their purpose, Leng Yuexing had already guessed it.

Xuanming previously mentioned that in recent years, the Prime Minister's Office has been secretly acquiring some blacksmith shops and pawnshops.

What could possibly require such a huge amount of money and ironware? It's nothing more than rebellion!

Leng Yuexing's previous lazy demeanor vanished instantly, replaced by a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

He considered whether to kill the Left Chancellor at this moment, but after thinking for a long time, he gave up.

If the Left Chancellor is killed at this time, then the Right Chancellor's injustice will have no way to be redressed.

He needs to arrest him after the Left Chancellor takes action.

After thinking it over, Leng Yuexing listened carefully to their plan. After their conversation, she quietly left the Left Prime Minister's residence and returned to the palace.
