"Xu brother, where is your backup plan?"
"Time is running out."
Yi Chen was starting to feel irritated. He had the intuition that even if Xu Xiaoxun was not killed by the Seventh Prince, the population disappearances in Tianfeng Prefecture over the years were very likely connected to him.
But he was powerless to do anything about it.
With the evidence he currently held, it would be a stretch to convict the Huang family, let alone perfect the case.
Either way, he was definitely not going to return the two hundred thousand taels he had 'borrowed' from the Family Head Huang.
"That Seventh Prince deserves to die; it's just a pity I can't do anything to him now. Once I'm comparable to a True Monarch, the first thing I'll do is take him down. The atrocities his minions have committed are enough for me to kill him ten times over."
"Alas, bring those cunning criminals up here, one by one."
In a bad mood, Yi Chen vented all his anger on the scum of Tianfeng Prefecture.
