“I’m sorry, I really can’t arrange this.” Bai Shizu frowned.
“What?” Lin Yi blinked. Even Brother Bai’s words are useless?”
Cross-supervision between the four heads of the Safety Inspection Division was an official rule. Even with Bai Shizu’s background, it was not something that could be ignored.
If he really did that, he would have to pay the price for falling out with Lin Yi.
Don’t forget, he was still in the middle of atonement.
Once this matter was stirred up, one could imagine how passive the situation would be. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they would definitely not choose to take this step.
“To be honest, Brother Lin, our investigation of Han Jiechen has ended and we didn’t find any problems. So, from the perspective of the procedure, he is now free.”
Bai Shizu paused for a moment and then changed the topic.” However, his condition isn’t too good. He’s being taken care of by his younger brother, Han Zhongyue. Brother Lin, if you want to see him, you’ll have to ask Han Zhongyue first. See if it’s convenient.”
“Han Zhongyue?” Lin Yi raised an eyebrow. The son of the Han King and the second daughter of the Lu family in the Liao capital?”
“Brother Lin is quite well-informed.”
Bai Shizu said this, but his expression was not surprised at all.
“Brother Bai’s arrangement is pretty smart,” Lin Yi replied.
“Why don’t I understand what you mean, Brother Lin?” Bai Shizu was confused.
“You’re playing dumb with me again.”
Lin Yi laughed and turned to leave.” Alright, I won’t trouble you then. I’ll think of something myself.”
Bai Shizu’s expression darkened as he watched Lin Yi leave.
“Should I go and take a look?” asked the deputy.
Bai Shizu shook his head.” Send a message to Han Zhongyue. Let him deal with it himself. It’s not good for us to get too close to the Lu family of Liaojing Prefecture.”
Although the two sides had cooperated on the matter of the Han Imperial Residence, their goals were not exactly the same.
The Lu family of Liaojing Prefecture was definitely not easy to deal with.
Once the dust settled and they really replaced the household register of the Han residence and supported Han Zhongyue to officially ascend the throne, the cracks between them would soon be exposed.
Bai Shizu and the higher-ups of King Qin’s Mansion had a clear understanding of this.
In their eyes, the Lu family of Liaojing was just a knife, a swift knife used to get rid of the Han residence.
Once the Han Imperial Residence fell, the mission of this swift saber would be accomplished.
At that time, it was inevitable that there would be a reckoning. The only difference was how tactful the Lu family of Liaojing Prefecture was.
Therefore, although the two sides were cooperating, they still maintained a certain distance.
Bai Shizu’s mission was only to control King Han himself. As long as it was Han Zhongyue or Han Jiechen who would take over the position, King Qin’s Mansion did not care much.
Ultimately, the only guiding principle was to maximize the benefits.
“What if Lin Yi makes a scene?”
Bai Shizu smiled and sat down leisurely on the stone bench. He crossed his legs.” Then let’s enjoy the show.”
Lin Yi had already met up with Han Changshi.
After hearing Lin Yi’s words, Han Changshi’s expression became even more serious,”So my king is really dead…”
He was already mentally prepared for this outcome, but now that Lin Yi had confirmed it, he couldn’t help but feel a little dizzy.
King Han was the absolute pillar of the Han Imperial Residence. Once King Han fell, it also meant that more than half of the Han Imperial Residence had fallen.
“You really have a lot of responsibilities now.” Lin Yi looked at him seriously.
To be honest, if it wasn’t for the second-in-command of Guardian Han, the Han Residence would have already changed hands.
“I will not bow to them.”
“The crux of the problem now lies with my family’s heir,” said Minister Han with determination.
It was obvious that since the Han Imperial Residence was destined to change its master, he would definitely stand on Han Jiechen’s side. After all, Han Jiechen was the only heir that the Han Imperial Residence had acknowledged.
As for Han Zhongyue, even though it had been proven that he was the King’s son, he was still an illegitimate child.
Moreover, it was obvious that he was just a tool pushed by the Lu family of Liaojing Prefecture to seize the Han residence.
If he really succeeded in ascending to the throne, it was likely that the Han Imperial Residence would have the surname Han or Lu in the future.
“I’m curious, why didn’t they just kill Han Jiechen?” Lin Yi asked.
The reason why the other party kept the crazy King Han was because the transfer procedures had not been completed. This was understandable.
However, it was hard to understand why Han Jiechen, who had also gone mad, was left alive.
So far, Han Jiechen was Han Zhongyue’s only competitor.
From the perspective of Prince Qin’s Mansion, they might have kept Han Jiechen alive to contain Han Zhongyue.
But from the standpoint of the Lu family and Han Zhongyue, no matter how one looked at it, getting rid of Han Jiechen was the most reliable solution.
“They wouldn’t dare.” Guardian Han shook his head.
“Why not?” Lin Yi asked curiously.
” There was once a tragedy in the Han Imperial Residence that almost led to the extermination of the entire family. To prevent the tragedy from happening again, the ancestors placed a curse on their own bloodline.”
” As long as it’s someone from the same generation as me,” Han Changshi said with a sigh,” the curse will take effect immediately and kill anyone of the same generation, whether it’s done personally or by someone else.”
“I see.” Lin Yi said.
The existence of this bloodline curse caused the Lu family of Liaojing Prefecture to be cautious. It could be considered that their ancestors had blessed them.
” They must be thinking of ways to break the curse,” Han Changshi said worriedly.” If they succeed, there’s no turning back.”
“Then what are we waiting for? We’ll go straight to the door and ask for him.”
Lin Yi walked away.
“Huh?” Han Changshi was stunned. You want him back just like that?”
Lin Yi waved his hand.” I’ve seen Han Wang. The news must have reached them by now. We can’t delay any longer. I’ll go over now. You go gather the remaining masters.”
With that, Lin Yi’s figure disappeared, leaving Han Changshi dumbfounded.
He had been thinking about rescuing Han Jiechen for several days, but he still couldn’t think of a perfect plan, so he had been hesitating.
Lin Yi’s sudden action caught him off guard.
In the end, Guardian Han stomped his foot and cursed for the first time. If this wave of recklessness doesn’t produce a result, my Han Imperial Residence deserves to be annexed!”
Then, he cursed and shook people everywhere.
In fact, he was also very clear that the initiative of the current situation was completely in the hands of the other party. If he continued to hesitate, it would only increase the chances of the other party winning.
Lin Yi’s forceful intervention disrupted his rhythm, but it also disrupted his opponent’s rhythm.
