Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister-Chapter 858 - 466: Not Much, Just Everything!

In an instant, Ye Jinghong returned.

"People from the Imperial City, I have no idea what’s gotten into them, suddenly so many came."

"By the way, why are you asking about this?"

Ye Jinghong, from within the Three Judicial Departments, showed a puzzled look. Those behind the Dao Realm are not simple, did this master do something again and offend someone?

Thinking of this, his face changed drastically, and his heart trembled.

Truly a living ancestor, what exactly did he do?!

"People from the Imperial City? Whose men are they?"

"On the surface, they’re from those families, but behind them are those princes. What exactly did you do?"

"Nothing much."

Chen Xuan said casually.

But the more he acted like this, the more Ye Jinghong felt the matter was definitely significant.

Otherwise, why would all these princes send people to Molan Mansion?

"I gathered some industries earlier, maybe some of them were theirs."

"Damn, you.....!"

Ye Jinghong really wanted to bow down to him, truly bold beyond belief, daring to pluck teeth from the tiger’s mouth, does he not want to live!

"How much did you actually take?"

"Not much... all of it!"

When he heard the first part of the sentence, Ye Jinghong was relieved, but when the word ’all’ came out, he really wanted to strangle Chen Xuan, how is this not much?

Damn... what a beast!

"Don’t blame me for not telling you, Great Yu’s princes are not allowed to engage in commerce, it’s the rule of the Imperial Family, so those few people put some industries in the hands of those families."

"So you’ve practically robbed them of what they eat, you should know the consequences." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Great Yu’s princes can’t engage in commerce?"

Chen Xuan asked in surprise.

As for Ye Jinghong’s words of warning, he completely ignored them.

"Yes, it’s a rule set by the Imperial Family when the former emperor was in power, and a decree was issued that whoever takes the throne cannot change it, otherwise they’ll be demoted to commoners."

"Why was such a strange decree issued?"

Chen Xuan asked.

"Because back then, several princes almost completely monopolized the business of the Great Yu Hundred Mansions, causing dissatisfaction among many. They were severely punished by the former emperor because of this."

"That’s why such a decree was issued."

Unable to help it, back then several princes teamed up and were too greedy, leaving no room for others to survive.

Relying on being Great Yu’s princes, they practically robbed openly, if you disagreed, the consequence would be losing your head.

Because of this, Great Yu almost fell into turmoil.

No matter how many families there are in Great Yu, even if you’re a prince, you can’t be so domineering as to cut off others’ livelihoods.

So they jointly petitioned to the former emperor, and the final result was all those industries returned to their rightful owners.

"Is Emperor Yu among these people?"

Chen Xuan was suddenly intrigued.

"No, the princes involved back then were all deprived of their eligibility to vie for the throne."

"And were punished by the former emperor to guard those turbulent places."

"By the way, there’s someone you’re quite familiar with."

Ye Jinghong suddenly said.

"Who?"

"Southern King! Although he wasn’t a prince at the time, he was one of the participants, punished by the former emperor along with the nineteenth prince to suppress the Stone Cave. But later he made great contributions, and Emperor Yu pardoned him, allowing him to return to the Imperial City."

"As for the other princes, unless... you know, otherwise, they can never return to the Imperial City for life."

Southern King!

Didn’t expect it to be him, and also involving the Stone Cave.

No wonder he did the thing of assassinating Marquis Ning, truly a bad character.

However, regarding those princes never being able to return to the Imperial City, Chen Xuan was not surprised at all, after all, if they come back, it would definitely be troublesome.

"It should be the former emperor’s deliberate act!"

Chen Xuan mused.

This way, it reduced Emperor Yu’s troubles and preserved these people’s lives.

After all, throughout history, many brothers have died for that position.

Even Emperor Yu did the same, back then he almost killed all those ’good brothers.’

Through battles and barrage, the skeletal remains piled up, eventually reaching this supreme position.

It’s even more cruel than the nine sons vying for power in a dynasty from Chen Xuan’s past life.

Back then, the fourth prince didn’t immediately kill when he took the throne.

But Emperor Yu was different, he killed them before ascending the throne.

However, now it seems those princes ended up benefiting from their misfortune.

"Damn, you’ve all been led astray, you’d better return those industries, those people are strong contenders for the throne. Once Emperor Yu... it’s certain they will inherit."

"You’ve offended them all, I don’t need to tell you the consequences, do I?"

He really didn’t expect Chen Xuan to offend all these princes at once, even Qin Hong too, damn it, it feels like he has no apprehensions at all.

"Could it be that he’s even daring to rebel?"

The moment this thought appeared, Ye Jinhong shuddered all over.

He now truly regrets boarding his ship, it’s a situation where one careless move leads to total annihilation, the kind where even bones are left behind.

"Return what?!"

Chen Xuan curled his lips, once this kind of thing is done, there’s no turning back.

Returning it, would they let him go?

What are you thinking!

Even Qin Hong probably wouldn’t.

"Don’t mess things up!"

Ye Jinghong was truly scared at this moment, really worried that Chen Xuan would act against those Dao Realm, it would be impossible to clean up the mess then.

"Don’t worry, I’m not that impulsive."

Chen Xuan calculated in his heart.

Unless he personally acts, none of his people are a match for them.

If he acted... forget it, it’s not worth risking for these minor characters.

Not that he’s afraid, considering his current abilities, few among those princes can compete with him, even Mr. Wu from the past, Chen Xuan doesn’t fear now.

Moreover, he also mastered the Rule of Space, though he won’t use it unless absolutely necessary.

But beating the small drives the big, this cycle is too bothersome!
