Chapter 943 - 943 317 The Noble Consort is Dead_3

Chapter 943: Chapter 317: The Noble Consort is Dead_3 Chapter 943: Chapter 317: The Noble Consort is Dead_3 And on this day, the private target Feng Yin had predetermined, the only member of the Xu Family who had slipped through the net, Concubine Xu, made her appearance!

Just as Feng Yin had predicted, Concubine Xu left the palace to pay respects at her deceased brother’s grave.

Naturally, Feng Yin prepared to seize the opportunity to act and completely sever this cause and effect.

But… what greatly exceeded his expectations was not that Concubine Xu had many skilled martial artists accompanying her, making it difficult to kill her, but that before he could make a move, Concubine Xu’s carriage was already ambushed on the road ahead.

The assassination was over quickly.

With a loud boom, it was done.

Everyone involved in this expedition, from the guards to the palace maids and eunuchs, and even Concubine Xu herself, were all turned into bloody pulp in the blink of an eye!

This case, once it occurred, immediately shocked the entire Imperial Capital.

Assassinating a royal concubine in broad daylight!

This was a major case that reached the very heavens and shook the nine tiers, and it could no longer be described merely as audacious.

Feng Yin’s reputation, too, became so notorious that it was both purple and black.

Almost everyone reached a consensus that this was definitely Feng Yin’s doing; who else could it be? He had previously decimated the Xu Family, leaving only Concubine Xu, the sole survivor within the palace walls—it was a move to root out the problem completely!

Taking advantage of her return to pay respects, with Concubine Xu’s murder along the way, who else if not Feng Yin could have done it?

Therefore, Feng Yin had to pay the price. He must be apprehended and brought to justice to maintain the dignity of the royals and uphold legal order.

Even the Dark Division, no matter how tough, could only take a step back at such a time.

“There must be something fishy about this!”

“Who actually killed Concubine Xu has yet to be determined. But to assume without reason that it was Feng Yin’s doing—with such questionable possibilities, how could that serve as proof?!”

Bu Changkong returned to the Dark Division, thunderous with rage, “Investigate to the fullest extent, leave no stone unturned!”

Fei Wenya hung her head downstairs, not uttering a word.

Gu Yunbian was also silent.

Clearly, both had their own thoughts.

After the meeting, Bu Changkong kept several key members of the Dark Division behind.

“What are your thoughts?”

Bu Changkong asked with authority.

Without speaking, everyone’s gaze drifted toward Fei Wenya, intentionally or otherwise.

It had to be said that when it came to such matters, it was most appropriate for Fei Wenya to speak.

If nothing else… Fei Wenya was a member of the Fei Family, so even if she misspoke, there was room to maneuver.

Furthermore… this sudden turn of events obviously involved a struggle for power, and such manipulative schemes were not exactly their forte as martial artists.

And the one whose mind was quickest on these matters and who could keep up with the train of thought was none other than Fei Wenya, the scion of a military family.

“That damn woman was definitely not killed by Feng Yin!”

Fei Wenya said seemingly gently.

Everyone sported an imaginary black line across their foreheads, remaining silent for a long while.

It’s fine to curse that woman, but whom are you calling a dog?

“If it were Feng Yin’s doing, how could the Heavenly Judgment have shown no sign? This is the most obvious proof,” said Fei Wenya.

“Although Concubine Xu was born into the Xu Family, just being a woman, perhaps she truly hasn’t done anything that would merit a mention on the Heavenly Judgment. To use this as proof, it’s hardly convincing,” someone said.

“Are you implying she was innocent?”

“…”

“The crux of the matter now is that His Majesty has also focused on Feng Yin. How should we deal with this?”

“That damn…”

Just as Fei Wenya began to speak, Bu Changkong interrupted with an exasperated expression, “Mind your words! Is that someone you should curse at?”

“…Ahem, that dog… ahem, that woman… that Xu… something or other… What the hell am I supposed to say?”

Fei Wenya, unable to curse, suddenly found herself at a loss for words, even stuttering.

Everyone bowed their heads, barely suppressing their laughter.

What a peculiar individual.

Truly, if not cursing, then speechless?

Fei Wenya glared, “That dog… that cheap… that flirty… damn it, can’t you even let a person speak?”

Bu Changkong waved his hand in resignation, “Enough, speak your mind as you had intended.”

“Alrighty then!”

Fei Wenya said, “If you’d said so earlier, wouldn’t that have settled it? Damn it, you made me unable to open my mouth.”

“…”

Everyone was speechless.

You have the nerve to say that? When not cursing, you can’t open your mouth—is that some kind of peculiar trait?

Luckily, Fei Wenya then started to speak again.

“That damn woman was definitely not killed by Feng Yin; even the Emperor himself doesn’t believe Feng Yin did it; that much is clear,” continued Fei Wenya. “But now this shitty basket case has been dumped on Feng Yin’s head, and while you dunces seem not to understand, to me it’s pretty clear, quite normal. It’s something all ambitious and shrewd emperors would do.”

Everyone was stunned.

Wrongly accusing Feng Yin, and now it’s seen as ambitious and shrewd?

Are you now praising people instead of cursing them?

No, the comment was still an insult.

“Firstly, this is a fucking group—no, it’s the damn… the Xu family’s background power… beginning to fight back; and these bastards truly deserve to die. But now the situation is still unclear, the old Emperor… ahem, His Majesty needs them all to jump out, to see clearly. That’s one goal.”

“And the second purpose is… now the Dark Division’s power is so damn strong, and their influence so freaking significant. Plus, with Heavenly Clothes leaning toward our side, the military faction, it means our side’s strength is… a bit damn unbalanced. Think about it, military sector, influential families, Dark Division, Heavenly Clothes… damn it, it’s enough to sway the court.”

“Therefore, the Emperor… I mean, His Majesty won’t allow this situation to continue; so by using Feng Yin’s case, he’s aiming to suppress the power of the Dark Division a little, to restore some semblance of balance. Honestly, when you analyze it, it’s sinister to the extreme. Indeed, none who become Emperor are… every one of them is ambitious and shrewd, I tell you.”

Fei Wenya coughed twice, adding, “So His Majesty, fully aware that Feng Yin is not the killer, still agreed to issue the arrest. This is why. Those in politics have dirty hearts… all these twists and turns, you idiots naturally wouldn’t see through…”
