Chapter 136

"Zhongshan, Qingzhou, you two go notify Dan Mingxuan and have him search the area nearby. We will head back to the Guanyin Temple first." Yan Weichi looked toward Shangguan Xi and asked skeptically, "Your Highness, are we not capturing An Yuanqing anymore? He is the best candidate to bring down the Duke's Mansion." Shangguan Xi found Yan Weichi’s thinking far too naive. Putting aside the fact that one should only be held responsible for one's own transgressions, even if An Yuanqing’s crimes were blown out of proportion, it would at most affect the reputation of the Duke's Mansion. Toppling the Duke himself was absolutely impossible. Furthermore, the Empress possessed the resolve to sacrifice a limb to save the body; who knew if the Duke of Anguo would choose to sacrifice a pawn to protect the castle? The value of An Yuanqing was nowhere near as great as Yan Weichi imagined.
