The corpses of Chen Qian and his entourage were found in the woods outside the city of Hanzhong, according to the soldiers defending the city, Chen Qian and his party hurried out of the city before dawn, judging from the direction of the road, their destination should be Luoyang, but on the way suddenly encountered a black hand, so that all of them died in the wilderness.

After learning of Chen Qian's death, Zhi Ze was not in a very good mood for a few days, and he was stuffy in the house alone. A huge palace is no longer as lively as it used to be. The officials sent by the imperial court investigated for many days, but they did not find out who was behind the murder of Chen Qian, and what information Chen Qian hid from us that day has become a mystery that can never be solved.

"Get out! Get me out!" I went to visit Zhize that day, but I didn't want to see a maid who had just arrived at the door and walked out of the room in a panic with a tray. "What's wrong?" I asked softly as I saw tears in her eyes.

"Niangniang, the prince hasn't eaten all day..."I looked at the food on the tray and understood, such strange things happened one after another, Zhize must be very uncomfortable in his heart. "Come, give it to me. I sighed, took the tray from the maid's hand, knocked on the door, and walked in.

"Didn't you say let you all go out for me?" Yuan Zhize sat at the table with his back to me, his slightly arched back revealing indescribable exhaustion, and when he heard the footsteps, he thought it was another subordinate who came to persuade him to eat, and his voice was a little impatient.

I walked over slowly and gently placed the tray on the edge of the table. "Eat something, only when you are full will you have the energy to find out the real culprit. Seeing his haggard appearance, I couldn't help but feel a faint pain in my heart. "Xiaoxiao, is it you?" Yuan Zhize was surprised by my appearance, and hurriedly pulled over the stool on the side and said, "Come, sit down." ”

I sat aside and comforted him with kind words: "People are kind enough to bring you food, and you are still scolding, you really don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings, your body is important, eat something quickly." Yuan Zhize looked at me, sighed, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, and then threw the chopsticks heavily on the ground: "How can I eat it!" After saying that, he tore his hair with both hands, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out.

"Okay, okay," Seeing that he was angry, I hurriedly stepped forward to calm his anger: "There is no impermeable wall in the world, and it won't be long before we can figure out who the real murderer is." "They are too arrogant!" Yuan Zhize lowered his head, only to see that the muscles of his face were tense, and from time to time there was a squeaky sound of gnashing teeth. "Smack-" Yuan Zhize slapped his palm heavily on the table, and the wooden table in front of him fell apart in an instant, and the sound of cups and plates falling to the ground drowned out my screams.

"Who is sneaking around outside, get out of here!" Yuan Zhize roared angrily, and a hesitant figure flashed outside the door, it turned out to be Yuan Zhiyu. These few logs are in a bad mood, the military affairs in Hanzhong have always been handled by Yuan Zhiyu, and he is very busy, and it is a little surprising that he suddenly has time to come to the door today.

Yuan Zhize walked in silently, picked up a stool and sat down, looking sad, Yuan Zhize calmed down his emotions and said "You are here" as a greeting.

The two brothers sat silently opposite each other like this, and Yuan Zhize asked slowly after a long time: "How is the investigation of that matter?" After the investigation of the imperial court, Yuan Zhize did not give up, and let Yuan Zhiyu continue to investigate, but looking at Yuan Zhiyu's face, it seemed that there was not much progress.

"To no avail. Yuan Zhiyu's answer was not surprising at all. Yuan Zhize also seemed to know this, and did not blame Yuan Zhiyu. "Third brother, you said that I am being led by the nose everywhere now, what should I do?" Yuan Zhize sighed, and his words were full of indescribable desolation.

The muscles on Yuan Zhiyu's face twitched and whispered, "Chen Qian's words are very right, the top priority is to find out that inner ghost." "Pull it out?" Yuan Zhize's mouth flashed with a wry smile: "How can you find out?"

"It's... I can't help it. Yuan Zhiyu was speechless for a while, hesitated for a moment and then continued: "Big brother, I think these things are bound to happen, this pool of water in Hanzhong is too mixed, Yang Pu, Father, Second Brother, and even other forces exist, the only thing missing is our henchmen, the fish and dragons are mixed, and it will inevitably give people room to use." ”

"What can be done about this? My assumption of the position of king of Hanzhong is not the result of a power struggle, and besides, I have a heavy army in hand, and others will inevitably not be wary. Yuan Zhize shook his head helplessly.

Yuan Zhiyu pondered for a moment, as if he had made up his mind: "Big brother, the problem we are facing now is that we only have military power and cannot control the government affairs of Hanzhong, why not..." ”

Yuan Zhize fell heavily on the back of the chair, looked at the sky with his eyes, and said in a low tone: "Don't worry, even if he leaves, my father will never send a person who is close to us to be the Taishou of Hanzhong." "Unexpectedly, father and son are also wary of each other, and it seems that the family affection of this royal family is also discounted.

"Hehe, doesn't my eldest brother educate me from time to time, I don't know if I'm blessed, maybe this is also an opportunity!" Yuan Zhiyu laughed instead, as if he had already made a bamboo in his chest. "Oh, what can you do, tell me about it. Yuan Zhize raised his head and looked at him with interest.

Yuan Zhiyu sold the guanzi, sneered twice and said: "There is a way, but we need to do something unruly..."
