Sang Qingxiao exclaimed in surprise, "How can this be true?"
Li questioned, "Could it be a mistake?"
Qi Hao added, "Even if his hands are long, he wouldn't be able to reach the Office of Censors."
Miss Sang overlooked one person.
Qi Xiaomian reminded her, "Regarding the Fox Demon Case, I was almost tricked, but it was Miss Sang who helped me out."
"You don't need my help," she replied politely. "If it weren't for a few obstacles at that time, a mere Old Demon would be no match for you."
Sang Qingxiao continued, "Now that you mention it, I realize it's that Right Deputy Censor, isn't it?"
Qi Xiaomian nodded.
"I had only heard his name and never seen him; I almost forgot there was such a figure in the Office of Censors. After the Fox Demon case, he applied for sick leave. I thought he was hiding from me because he had something to hide, but little did I know he was secretly collaborating with Qi Hao and digging a big pit for me."
"Are you sure it's him? Do you have evidence?"
"As soon as I left Jingjing City, he withdrew his sick leave and returned to the office. My people sent word that he was particularly interested in the cases I handled and took a pile of case files back to study. He even attempted to break into my office."
"When my people stopped him, he was relentless. When they used my name to intimidate him, he scoffed at it."
"His attitude changed too quickly; just a few months ago he was avoiding me, and now he's openly provoking me. Such a shift suggests he has some backing or knows that I'm about to face trouble."
"The likelihood of having backing is slim; after all, who has a greater ally than I do?"
"Thus, it's more likely the latter. Coupled with what I've heard recently, I'm about seventy to eighty percent sure it's him. I've already sent word back for my people to investigate thoroughly; it won't be long before we gather evidence."
Sang Qingxiao frowned and shook her head again. "Even if he's managed to deal with a few Prefects, those Old Foxes in the Jianghu world, especially the Liang Family, should not believe him."
Qi Xiaomian said, "Seeing is believing; there are indeed soldiers outside the city, all fully equipped and armed."
"But during a confrontation between two armies, there should be time for communication. As long as they talk, lies can easily be exposed."
Qi Xiaomian reminded her that currently in Yanzhou City, the guards are on high alert and are all Qi Hao Ren's men. They are already spread throughout the city openly; there must be even more hidden forces. Moreover, among the Jianghu people, many are also his allies.
"If I were Qi Hao," he continued, "I wouldn't give either side time to communicate. I'd arrange for people to stir up trouble secretly. As long as both sides see bloodshed and develop enmity while occasionally fanning the flames of conflict, this battle would be set!"
"Then why does he insist on fighting this battle?"
"There are many benefits to gain."
"He has finally gathered strength; wouldn't that consume quite a bit as well?"
So what? He believed that the sacrifices made by others for him were only to be expected. Lies would eventually be exposed, and by then, if things went well, he would have already leveraged the power of the court to deal with those who refused to listen to him. It would be just like standing alongside the Liang Family to eliminate them together.
By that time, the martial world would truly regard him as their leader. He would directly label anyone in the Jianghu who defied him as a rebel, and several military forces from different provinces could testify for him. After all, it would indeed lead to conflict, and he would easily claim a significant achievement.
