Huan Xuan was defeated and Sima Yao returned to the Forbidden Palace, but the atmosphere in Jiankang City became increasingly tense.

There are more and more cases of provoking trouble among the high-ranking families in Jiankang City, and the entire Jiankang City seems to have become impetuous. There is only one reason for this situation. The five stones in Jiankang City are out of stock!

Not only Duanmuhe, Tong Meng, but also Zhang Da and others were tired of dealing with it all day long. Even the Wei Jie sometimes had to take action personally to deal with these trivial matters that were originally just trivial.

Although the matter was small, all the people who caused trouble had a deep background. Ordinary imperial guards could not suppress these people. After a few days, Wei Jie finally couldn't help but go to court.

"Commander Wei, I heard that there are more and more people causing trouble in the city today. What's going on?"

At the beginning of the court meeting, Sima Yao called Wei Jie to ask about this matter. This was discussed by Wei Jie and Sima Yao in advance. This is called taking the initiative. No matter what, he should throw this hot potato into Xie An's hands.

"Back to the emperor, Wei Jie only arrested people to maintain the stability of Jiankang City. As for why these people caused trouble, I still have to ask Mr. An!" Wei Jie stood forward and said respectfully at Xie An.

Xie An smiled slightly and said with a caress: "The emperor doesn't ask about this matter, and the old minister also wants the emperor to report it!"

"I believe the emperor should know that the trend of taking Wushi Powder in Jiankang City has been around for a long time, and the Wushi Powder in Jiankang City has always been provided by Huaiyue Tower. Now Huan Xuan has returned to Jingzhou and has also taken away the people who have refined Wushi Powder in Huaiyue Tower!"

"What does An Gong mean?" Sima Yao frowned slightly.

"I have to find someone for them to refine Five Stones, can I disperse them?"

"If the emperor wants to restore stability in Jiankang City in the shortest time, this is indeed the best way!" Xie An said without hesitation.

"Now, in Jiankang City, I'm afraid that the only five stone scattered princes who refined by Concubine Yue alone can satisfy these idle young men in the city!"

Wei Jie frowned slightly, and Xie An actually came to expose Su Qiaoer's shortcomings in front of all the civil and military officials of the court. Isn't this to remind everyone that Su Qiaoer, who is now Yuefei, is born in a brothel?

Looking around, all the civil and military officials in the court really showed strange colors on their faces.

"An Gong..."

Sima Yao was angry, but in the end he just glanced at the guard level and swallowed the breath back.

"Taking Wushi Powder will only make people feel depressed, and it is a harmful thing after all!" Wei Jie said in a deep voice.

"Since no one has refined the Five Stones in Jiankang City, why don't An Gong take the opportunity to issue an order to prohibit anyone from refining the uniform and using the Five Stones in Jiankang City? It is also possible to use this to rectify the atmosphere in Jiankang City!?"

"General Wei said so much!" Xie An nodded and said.

"As the imperial court's Secretariat, I should completely eliminate such unhealthy trends, but..."

Xie An paused slightly and turned to Sima Yao and said, "The emperor clearly understands that the trend of taking Wushi Powder in Jiankang City has been around for a long time. If you want to completely rectify it, just a ban is probably far from enough!"

"This matter still needs to be carried out by compulsory means. General Wei commanded 20,000 imperial guards, and maintaining the stability of Jiankang City is his duty. The old minister thinks it is more appropriate to leave this matter to General Wei to handle!"

"The emperor can personally issue an edict, expressly prohibiting any acts of refining Wushi Powder and taking Wushi Powder in Jiankang City, and then handing it over to General Wei forcibly. Such a two-pronged approach will definitely be effective in rectifying the atmosphere in Jiankang City!"

Sima Yao and Wei Jie immediately looked at each other. They originally wanted to push this offensive incident to Xie An, but they never wanted him to retort it in a few words, and they could not refute it.

"General Wei doesn't speak. Are you unwilling to serve the court?" Xie An glanced at the guard stairs indifferently and spoke slowly again.

"An Gong, it's not that Wei Jie is unwilling to do so. Wei Jie is just worried about this matter. If the court's attitude is too tough, will there be any inappropriateness?" Wei Jie said with a tough bullet.

"Why don't you take the lead in saying something? It's better for the people of the city to know that you are resistant to the trend of taking Wushi San?"

"Oh, I don't want to do it, but I'm not trying to do it!" Xie An said in a sigh.

"How can old customs and bad habits be changed by me in just a few words? If you want to completely rectify the Jiankang atmosphere, you can only enforce them. When necessary, you can kill one to warn a hundred!"

"The national strength of our Great Jin Dynasty is becoming increasingly strong, and whether people's livelihood can become increasingly prosperous is all due to the move of General Wei!"

"Report to the emperor, Gong An, let me leave this matter to the Wei minister!" Just when the guard steps were in a difficult situation, Yuan Zhan's voice came from the door of the hall.

"Mr. An is busy with all kinds of things every day, so he naturally has no time to deal with such trivial matters. General Wei is also busy with military affairs. Let me leave this matter to Weichen. Weichen guarantees that after three or five days, no one in the city will dare to cause trouble in public. At the same time, Weichen will let Wushisan completely disappear from Jiankang City!"

Wei Jie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was almost forced to the corner by Xie An again. It was almost impossible to stop Wushisan. If nothing unexpected happens, the court will eventually compromise, and Jiankang City will be controlled by Wushisan again.

But Yuan Zhan said so decisively, how should he turn back then? Then he thought, Yuan Zhan is now the son-in-law of the Xie family appointed by Xie An Qin, and he probably won’t sit idly by!

Only Yuan Zhan dared to stand up and take this matter that would offend Quan Jiankang High Sect. Xie An did not dare to do so, nor did he dare to defend himself!

Yuan Zhanheng rushed out of the assassination, and Sima Yao naturally took advantage of the situation and decided without waiting for Xie An to react. However, at the same time, he ordered Xie An and Wei Jie to give Yuan Zhan the necessary assistance.

After going down the court, the Wei Jie felt a little shocked. While secretly shouting that it was dangerous, he went to find Yuan Zhan. But when he left the hall, he saw Yuan Zhan had already gotten on Xie An's carriage from afar. He could only sigh inwardly.

Yuan Zhan certainly did not realize that there was actually a secret battle between him and Xie An. The reason why he stood up was, just as he said in the hall, hating the Five Stones and wanting to share the worries of the court. However, Yuan Zhan may still be able to see through what he is about to face.

After returning to the military camp in a daze, another news from Duanmuhe gave Wei Jie a headache again.

Tong Meng disappeared. He has not returned since leaving the barracks yesterday evening. This is something that has never happened before. The military commander of the Hu Xiao Army is very strict. Tong Meng is also the commander of the Hu Xiao Army. It is even more impossible for him to deliberately violate military discipline. The only possibility is that something happened to Tong Meng!

Wei Jie couldn't help but think of Tong Meng's proposal before, and combined with Xie An's aggressive reaction in the court today, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

This Tong Meng, won’t he really assassinate Xie An, right?

Xie An went to court well, wouldn’t Tong Meng be...?

Wei Jie couldn't help but see the darkness in front of him. First it was Zhang Xiong, and this time it was Tong Meng again!
