The turmoil of Cheng Xuan's marriage with the county lord of Lingrong has not yet passed, listening to the harsh gossip outside, Cheng Jinzhi's heart is not comfortable, and he always feels a little sorry for his eldest brother and the county lord of Lingrong who has always regarded her as a sister. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The matter of Tu Lingsi has not yet settled, Gao Heng entered the palace in the past two days, although Emperor Zhou did not ask about this matter in person, but the more calm it is, the more Cheng Jinzhi feels uneasy, lest this is the calm before the storm.

At this moment, she looked at Gao Heng and Cen Feng in front of her with serious expressions, and her spirit couldn't help but become nervous, and she threw the half-bitten osmanthus pine nut candy in her hand back into the plate, and sat down on her knees seriously, even the remaining sugar crisp in her mouth became tasteless.

"Cen Changsi came to the palace today, do you think that the attack that happened in the Tu Ling Division a few days ago was indeed done by someone sent by this king, so you want to come to Xingshi to ask for the guilt?"

Gao Heng's tone was tepid, and there was even a hint of disapproval, obviously knowing that the purpose of Cen Feng's trip was not as he said.

"Your Highness said with a smile, if the subordinate wants to come here to ask the teacher, how can he come alone without bringing people? This is not the style of our Spirit Slayer Division. Cen Feng only smiled lightly when he heard this, "Besides, in the eyes of the lower officials, with the wisdom of His Royal Highness King Yan, it is definitely not the kind of stupid thing that will do evil with great fanfare, but still leave evidence to expose itself and make people have traces to follow." ”

"Cen Changsi has won the award, maybe someone thinks that this king is so stupid, right?" The corners of Gao Heng's mouth hooked a cold arc, "Besides, even if Cen Changsi thinks that this king will not do this, if his father is deceived by some people with a heart and believes in this, then this king will not be able to argue." ”

"Since Your Majesty has delayed the conclusion of this case, it is naturally because of some doubts in your heart. Cen Feng pondered for a moment, his eyebrows moving slightly, "Otherwise, after His Majesty learned of this matter that day, according to the saint's usual resolute and resolute temperament, how could he delay and not summon His Highness to the palace to inquire about the reason?"

"Speaking of which, this king can have a few more days of peaceful life, and he has to thank Cen Changsi. ”

Gao Heng said and raised his eyes to look at Cen Feng, who understood his heart, and his originally cold gaze gradually became calmer.

Because he was in the court that day, Cen Feng did not report the attack on Tu Lingsi to Emperor Zhou in time, and the prince was eager to exonerate himself and blame Gao Heng, so he deliberately instructed two close ministers in the court to inform Emperor Zhou of the matter.

But what is puzzling is that at that time, it was less than a few hours before the attack on the Soul Slaughter Division, and Cen Feng, as the head of the Soul Slaughter Division, did not say a word about the details of this matter, but these two ministers could clearly know that those assassins had the token of the Yan Wangfu hidden on their bodies, so they also inadvertently deepened the doubts in Emperor Zhou's heart.

"Being upset is always a bad thing. Maybe it's because of this that Your Majesty feels that something is wrong and doesn't directly blame Your Highness, right?"

Cen Feng said lightly, and suddenly said meaningfully in an emotional tone.

"I really didn't expect that this old case could cause such an uproar and attract the attention of all parties. ”

"It's going to get worse. Gao Heng's eyes condensed slightly, and he exhaled a little heavily, "If this king's expectations are not bad, the imperial brother will use Wei Yan as a scapegoat this time." Although he couldn't be sure how many clues Gu Chen had that were unfavorable to him, Wei Yan was the person who had the most contact with Gu Chen back then, and he couldn't escape no matter what. ”

Seeing Cen Feng's head in agreement, Gao Heng continued: "Since the imperial brother missed such a capable minister and gave up the household department, he must not let Wei Yan sacrifice in vain, and will always find ways to make the best use of things, for example, let Wei Yan tell his father that he was instructed by this king to commit this heinous mistake. Coupled with the fact that the attack on the Soul Butcher Division that day was used as an aid, on the surface, isn't it the evidence that is conclusive?"

"But you... But what reason does Your Highness have for doing so?"

At this time, Cheng Jinzhi, who was only listening quietly and not making a sound, suddenly couldn't help but interject.

"Your Highness was not short of money back then, so why did he take the risk of sending someone to rob the disaster relief officer's silver? Besides, since the money was robbed, where did it end up and where did it go?"

As she spoke, she looked at Cen Feng very seriously: "Chief Cen Division, your Spirit Slaughter Division is so powerful, can't you find out the whereabouts of this batch of stolen silver?"

The amount of stolen silver was huge, and Gu Chen said that the reward he received was only a small part of it. It was precisely because he was in urgent need of money to make up for the heavy losses caused by the shipwreck, so it was understandable to use it to revive the Qinghe Gang. But the other big head, the part that the prince has gotten, I have not found anything so far. ”

Cen Feng said with self-reproach, his eyebrows tightened a lot involuntarily, and he seemed to resent his powerlessness in this matter.

"But it's really strange, no matter how I send someone to track it down, this batch of stolen silver is like evaporating from the world, and I can't find a trace of it. ”

Gao Heng's eyes turned slightly when he heard this, and his eyes were sharp: "Will he want to use it to fill a vacancy somewhere?"

"The lower officials have also thought of this, and they have also sent people to start from here. Cen Feng tightened his cheeks and said, "Although some traces of corruption and fraud have indeed been found, these things are not within the jurisdiction of the lower officials. Moreover, Wei Yan is the head of the household department, and everyone knows the benefits that the prince has sought from the household department over the years, even His Majesty ......"

"That's right, it's not that my father doesn't know, it's just that he just turned a blind eye. Gao Heng smiled coldly, with a cold look in his eyes, "As long as the imperial brother doesn't go too far and doesn't make any big trouble, in addition to knocking on the side, the father will definitely not move this matter to the table and let the civil and military officials discuss it." ”

"It's not a matter of a day or two for your father to protect the crown prince, even I, an outsider, can see it, can the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty not see it?"

Thinking of Emperor Zhou's previous intentions to protect the prince, Cheng Jinzhi was depressed for a while, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he complained bluntly.

It wasn't until he felt Gao Heng's awe-inspiring gaze projected from the side that he couldn't ignore that he realized that Cen Feng was still present, and he hurriedly covered his mouth with some embarrassment.

"Princess Yan is really fast-talking. Cen Feng looked at Cheng Jinzhi and said with a smile, "It's just like this, it's okay to talk about it behind closed doors, but you can't mention it in front of Your Majesty." ”

"That's natural, I also believe that Cen Changsi is a person, and he will never chew the root of his tongue in front of His Majesty, so he relaxed and blurted out. ”

Cheng Jinzhi said in a mocking tone, and also replied with a slightly far-fetched smile.

But as soon as he thought of what the two of them had just said, the worry in his heart unconsciously increased a little, and the smile on his lips gradually faded and was covered with a layer of solemn color.
