Chapter 522: The Wind and Rain Comes
(First update!) )
Zhang Guling died, and was killed by the masked man in black on the way to the palace at the order. Following Qinyi, the Duke of Chengguo, Zhang Guiling had an accident.
Qin Yi and Zhang Guiling are both powerful people in Jingzhao. Mo said that they used to have that kind of power, that is, ordinary officials, and the death of two in a connection was already a sensation enough.
Moreover, they were all involved in the Jingzhao Silver Treasury incident, and they were killed one after another, and the murderer didn't know who it was. The situation of these two people is too similar, what is the doorway in this?
This matter made the court officials talk a lot, and Shao Lianyun, the secretary of Dali Temple, and Liu Jinyun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, felt that their heads were too big. Qin Yi's affairs have not yet found any clues, and now that Zhang Guiling has been killed again, without the urging of the prince and the officials of the political hall, they have already strictly ordered their subordinates to investigate with all their might.
What can you find if you go all out to track it down?
The most panicked person is Zhu Xuanming. It was he who ordered Zhang Guiling to enter the palace, and on the way to the palace, Zhang Guiling was killed. It seems that someone has long known that Zhang Guiling will enter the palace and ambush him on the road in advance, so that he can succeed so smoothly and leave safely afterwards.
Wouldn't it be too far-fetched to say that this matter has nothing to do with him?
Zhu Xuanming didn't dare to think about it deeply, so he had to immediately summon the officials of the Zhan Mansion and ask them to analyze the situation. He Zhao and the others were silent, but Peng Yifang shook his head and said, "The minister thinks that His Highness doesn't need to pay attention to this matter for the time being. The murder of Lord Zhang was so sudden that no one thought of it, so let's wait for the results of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department to come out. ”
Zhu Xuanming's face darkened, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "Wait until the results of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department come out." Rumors of Jingzhao are all spreading! ”
No wonder he was so angry, after Zhang Guiling's death, Jingzhao faintly rumored that Qin Yi and Zhang Guiling's death knew too many things, so they were killed. This "person" directly pointed to the crown prince Zhu Xuanming.
With this point, there are even rumors that the people behind the Jiangnan Silver Treasury are actually the crown prince, Qin Yi and Zhang Guiling. It's just a representative of the crown prince. Now the Jiangnan Silver Treasury affair has exploded. Qin Yi and Zhang Guiling became substitutes for the dead ghosts, Yunyun.
These are all faint rumors, and Zhu Xuanming can't stand up to refute them, otherwise it will be tantamount to admitting that the rumors are the truth. He was just as the rumors had said. So. He could only pretend that he hadn't heard the rumors. It is still handling major military and political affairs as usual.
Rumors stop at wise men, Zhu Xuanming has never been a wise man, he actually cares about these rumors very much. I care to death. not only privately sent people from the East Palace to quell the rumors, but also summoned officials from the Zhan Mansion to pretend to ask about the future situation.
Now, that's how the officials of the Zhan Mansion answered. Ignore it, how can he do it without it? The three of them became tigers, and his father was about to return to Jingzhao, if these rumors could not be stopped, he felt like a wind and frost sword forced to come.
Needless to say, even the crown princess Zhang Miao was suspicious of him.
After Zhang Guiling was killed, Zhang Miao rushed to his dormitory, stared at him stunned, and said with red eyes: "Your Highness, did you do this?" You don't want your grandfather to talk nonsense, so you sent someone to kill him? ”
Zhang Miao had previously reminded him about Qin Yi's death, but now there was such a question, which showed that even she felt that it was possible, let alone the people next to her!
Zhu Xuanming felt that he couldn't wash his water, and when Zhang Miao left, he gave him a cold look, and he couldn't say anything he wanted to justify.
No matter how much you say, will anyone believe it? Is it any use?
It's really useless, even if he suppresses these rumors openly and secretly, he can't suppress it, but it is getting more and more noisy.
Now, even the people who don't understand the affairs of the Jiangnan Treasury can hear a sentence or two of words like "Prince ......", and the East Palace is simply not too eye-catching.
Pei Gongfu and Zheng Shiyong were worried about this situation, and while strictly ordering officials not to discuss this matter, they also sent inspectors to inquire about the situation in order to stop this trend.
They don't know if the crown prince has anything to do with the deaths of these two men, but they know very well that these rumors are directed against the prince. They were worried that if it continued like this, the crown prince would lose people's hearts and minds, and the situation would be turbulent at that time.
The situation is volatile, and it is by no means what they want to see.
Although the officials didn't say anything, they knew what was going on in eye contact. In this regard, Pei Gongfu could only smile bitterly: "Lord Zheng, even if you suppress these officials, it will not help, but will block everyone's mouth." When the emperor comes back and sees this situation, he will be even more displeased. ”
Zheng Shiyong sighed and replied: "What Master Pei said is that this wind cannot be indulged, and it must be pressed. ”
The two ministers looked at each other, and suddenly they didn't know what to say.
In the courtyard, Gu Yan listened to Chen Sanniang's report and asked, "Do the people who killed Zhang Guling have any clues?" ”
Chen Sanniang shook her head and replied yet. The murder of Zhang Guiling was too sudden, those masked murderers escaped too completely, and no clues were left, and Chen Tongji could not be checked.
Gu Yan frowned slightly, and said secretly: I didn't expect someone to start so quickly, I was careless. It seems that the prince is too hated.
Qin Yi was killed by her, if she dared to kill Qin Yi, she was not afraid that she would leave her hand tail, and Dali Temple and the Criminal Department naturally couldn't find anything. Qin Yi's death, she still thinks about more things, in addition to the Jiangnan silver treasury matter, there are also side things.
Unexpectedly, someone moved faster than her, linking Qin Yi with the Jiangnan Silver Treasury matter, and even Zhang Guiling was killed. As soon as Zhang Guling died, the cause of Qin Yi's death was really in the Jiangnan Silver Treasury, and it must have nothing to do with the prince.
"Go all out to check the Seven Princes' Mansion, it should be done by the Seven Princes. I just don't know, besides Xie Zi, who else is behind the Seven Princes. Gu Yan said.
will use the death of these two people to deal with the crown prince, except for the prince of Emperor Chongde, there will be no one around. The second prince is abolished, and the fifth prince is watching with Heng, and he won't be able to get up for a while. Then, only the Seven Princes remained.
The Seventh Prince is making trouble with the wind and rain again, his injuries are almost healed, right?
After listening to Gu Yan's instructions, Chen Sanniang nodded, and then left the Qibi Courtyard and went to check according to Gu Yan's instructions.
After Chen Sanniang left, Gu Yan instructed Shui Lu to bring a pen and paper, and then Lala wrote something in a mess. She was thinking, how would the Seventh Prince deal with the crown prince? How will the situation develop? Is she going to stop it and push it?
Just when the rumors were spreading, Emperor Chongde, who was patrolling the south of the Yangtze River, returned to Jingzhao.
