In a secret room in the Shi Mansion, Yu Zhongqian quietly flipped through the books in his hand. These are all collected and sorted out by Fengtiandao for more than ten years, and they list in detail how much wealth the eldest prince Yu Zhongcheng has collected from these gangs over the years, and how he laundered this wealth through the Wynn Gambling House of the Daxi family and shared the spoils with the Daxi family.

In addition to looting through these gangs, Yu Zhongcheng also used his status as a prince to support and profit from the Daxi family's business in gambling houses, medicinal herbs, and the gray areas of Kyoto.

It can be said that Yu Zhongcheng used his status as the eldest prince to cooperate with the financial resources and power of the Daxi family, and formed a cancer-like existence on the commercial map of Kyoto and the other four states of the Yu family.

It took a full day and a night for Yu Zhongqian to finish reading these materials, and let out a long sigh: "I didn't expect that the eldest brother has reached such a point of madness for the sake of interests. ”

"These are only half of the things in Beigong Yan's hands, I don't know what else will be in the other half. Shi Zhiyi sat opposite Yu Zhongqian and quietly accompanied him for a day and a night. "Then again, how did you suddenly think of competing with your eldest brother for the throne? ”

"I just want to stop these crazy behaviors of my eldest brother," Yu Zhongqian looked up at Shi Zhiyi, "He hasn't ascended the throne yet, it's already like this, if he sits on his father's throne one day, I don't know how many people will suffer." ”

"Could it be that your father doesn't know anything about your eldest brother's behavior? Even Beigong Yan can get so many things, I don't believe that with the energy that Emperor Jingchang has mastered, he will have no idea what his son is doing. ”

"I can't guess what my father thinks, maybe most of his energy is occupied by government affairs, and he doesn't have time to stare at his eldest brother. But whether it's for myself to fight for the position of the prince, or to stop my eldest brother's move, I won't waste your hard work!"

The next day, the imperial historian Hong Licheng wrote a letter to the court, listing the eight major crimes of the eldest prince Yu Zhongcheng, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were shaken. This Hong Licheng was one of the first officials to turn around to Yu Zhongqian after Emperor Jingchang suspended the establishment of the prince, and as the imperial history of supervising the world on behalf of the Son of Heaven, it was naturally the most suitable for him to stab the fatal shot of the great prince.

Hong Licheng naturally knew the risks involved, but when Yu Zhongqian handed over the evidence of the eldest prince's misdeeds to him, he actually had no choice. Rather than the two ends of the first rat, and in the end it is not pleasing everywhere, it is better to fight to the death and seek wealth and danger.

When Yu Zhongcheng saw the evidence that was more than a foot tall and bound into a book, he couldn't help but feel a little dizzy. Although he is a bit of a rough man, he is really careful when doing these things, so as not to leave any evidence and tricks. He couldn't imagine how his third brother got so many of his own handles?

Of course, Yu Zhongcheng naturally would not admit defeat like this, but took a step forward and said to Emperor Jingchang: "Father, the son is guilty, but what Hong Yushi said is also untrue. For example, colluding with bandits to rob and trade in business, Erchen didn't know about it before, but my subordinate Wang Hao did it under the pretense of using my reputation, how could Erchen, as a prince, do such a thing that hurts heaven and reason?"

"Where is this Wang Hao now?" Emperor Jingchang's eyes narrowed, and a fine light flashed.

"When Erchen sent him out a few days ago, he did not return for a long time, presumably because he knew that what he had done had been exposed, and he absconded in fear of crime, and I was also mobilizing people to find out his whereabouts. ”

"Since you said that Wang Hao did all this, then Hong Yushi accused you of joining forces with the Daxi family to extort Chinese medicinal materials, casinos and other merchants in Kyoto, and even directly causing accidents to murder competitors, etc.? Could it be that Wang Hao also did it? The Daxi family is your mother's mother's maiden family, have you and your uncles and cousins never talked about this?"

"It's true that the ministers don't know anything about this matter, maybe Wang Hao and some worshippers of the Daxi family joined forces to hide it from me and the people of the Daxi family, and it is also possible. Da Xi Xiunan, the second son of the Da Xi family, is in Kyoto, and his father might as well summon him to come and ask what is going on. ”

When Da Xi Xiunan came to receive the order, he was naturally like the eldest prince who had already prepared in his heart, and insisted that he and his family did not know about it.

"Your Majesty should know that Zai Xia and other elders in the family do not come to Kyoto very often, and the family's business here is usually taken care of by the worshippers. This conversation has been in Kyoto for more than ten years, and he doesn't know how to collude with Wang Hao in the East Palace, and the two of them have done this series of sensational things in an embarrassed way, and they actually concealed it from our family. ”

"So where is the talker you are talking about? Did you also abscond in fear of sin?"

"Your Majesty, Tan Yingshou and Wang Hao are in a mess, and they may have a premonition that what they have done will be revealed, so they have absconded. ”

At this time, Yu Zhongqian took a step forward and saluted Emperor Jingchang and said: "Father Qi, it is a coincidence, there was also a person named Tan Yingshou on Erchen's side before, claiming to be the worship of the Daxi family in the detention village to seek refuge, what he said is different from what Da Xi Shi Brother said, Erchen implored his father to summon him to come and confront Da Xi Shi Brother face to face to prove his innocence?"

"Accurate!"

That night, Shi Zhiyi went to the detention village to rescue Helian Mingzhi, and when he escaped, he used the exclusive body method of the Daxi family to glimpse the light, and Tan Yingshou saw it in his eyes, and determined that the person he was chasing was Daxi Xiunan, the second son of the Daxi family.

In his opinion, Da Xi Xiunan deliberately did this, wanting to plant the blame for this fire to himself, in order to avenge the disagreement caused by himself and him because of trivial matters such as jealousy. Therefore, that night, after chasing Shi Zhiyi away, Tan Yingshou did not return to the detention village at all, but reflexively entered Kyoto City.

Kyoto Castle has a population of tens of millions, and it can be said that it is difficult to find one of them. Tan Yingshou wanted to live incognito in Kyoto like this, but the belongings he had saved in the Daxi family over the years disappeared with that fire, and he, who was accustomed to being lavish, began to worry about the resources for cultivation and food and accommodation.

When the third prince Yu Zhongqian expressed his intention to compete for the position of prince, he knew the disagreement between the Daxi family and the three princes, and he sensitively found an opportunity, and found an opportunity to come to the third prince and spit out the secrets of the Daxi family in Kyoto that he knew, so that he could get a new backer and no longer have to live secretly.
