Chapter 347: Nail
(Two more!) The author is working hard to adjust the state, I hope it will be updated in two days, and please continue to support! οΌ
In the east courtyard of the Shen family, Shen Su, Shen Su, Du Pre and Lu Qing gathered, or these four people, discussing the matter of the assassins in the East Palace.
The first to speak was Lu Qing, who frowned and said, "Tomorrow I will ask the emperor to find out the details of Zhang's inner servant." Exactly who sent this person must be clarified. β
Part of this East Palace assassin is actually related to the Criminal Department. For example, corpse examination, trace investigation, etc., are all matters that the Criminal Department specializes in. But just then, the emperor bypassed the criminal department and directly killed the entire palace of Xining Palace.
"Zhang Neishou has not been cleaned, this is the reason for the emperor's quick disposal, and Uncle Lu must not mention the re-examination of the corpse. Chen Wei told me that judging from the shape of his eyes, this chamberlain is an assassin in black. Shen Du said.
The news sent by Liuyi is very precious, Shen Du doesn't know the source of this news, but he absolutely believes in Zhu Xuanzhi. This news also just explains Emperor Chongde's actions.
"Tomorrow, I will also make a statement to Master Pei, and do my best to track down the assassin's mastermind. Presumably, Master Pei didn't believe that this assassin was from Xining Palace. Xining Palace is just a substitute for the dead ghost, if the murderer is not found, the emperor will not worry. Du Yu said.
He stroked his beard and had already figured out what to say to Pei Gongfu tomorrow.
Shen Su listened to the words of these people, and he didn't say anything, as if he was thinking about something. Shen Du and the others didn't bother him.
After a long time, he said, "The emperor doesn't believe that the assassin is from Xining Palace. He did this because he didn't want the Assassins to expand. He is maintaining the East Palace, and behind the assassins, the emperor will definitely track it down. β
These words were Shen Su's analysis of Emperor Chongde's actions. He is the person who is most familiar with Emperor Chongde, and he can estimate what the emperor is thinking at this moment.
Hearing these words, Du Yu and Lu Qing's faces were not very good-looking. They didn't expect that the emperor's heart would be like this. In order to maintain the East Palace, he knew that Xining Palace was innocent. Are you going to destroy Xining Palace too?
Moreover. The second prince is also the blood of the emperor. In order to maintain the East Palace, you have to abandon the second prince like this? This...... This is really unthinkable, does the emperor love the prince so much?
"The crown prince has been established, and the emperor believes in his decision. Moreover, among the princes. Indeed, no one can compare with the crown prince. The emperor does not allow his decisions to be wrong. So I will do my best to maintain it. Shen Su continued.
His words sounded a little mysterious, but Shen Du and the others understood after thinking about it for a while. I see. I see.
"This kind of thing, can the emperor maintain it once, and can it be maintained a second time? Even if you can maintain it a second time, can you maintain it a third time? Hehe, I have to say, Donggong's plan is really stupid! Lu Qing said.
Shen Du seemed to understand something, smiled, and said, "This bureau is definitely not set up by the East Palace. On the surface, it seems that the East Palace is dominant, but in the long run, it is a nail planted in the emperor's heart, a nail against the East Palace. β
For the East Palace, for the second prince, who will it be? Du Yu and Lu Qing glanced at each other, and they both saw an answer in each other's eyes.
"Let's see. This nail can be buried deep enough. In such a situation now, it is useless to play, and it is useless to find Pei Gongfu or Wang Zhang. Now the emperor is still in front of Zheng Shiyong, and he can find a way to penetrate the doubts to Zheng Shiyong. Shen Su nodded the table and said.
Zheng Shiyong, indeed, this person is the most useful in front of the emperor now.
"The emperor has Zheng Shiyong there. So, I want to ask, where is Qin Ji hiding? Are you out of the palace? Shen Su had a cold face and asked about the most important thing.
Indeed, for the current Shen family, Qin Ji's preservation is very important. Finding Qin Ji and bringing him to the emperor is the best way to restrain the forces of the East Palace. Now, there has been an assassination in the palace, where did Qin Ji, who was supposed to be in the East Palace, go?
When he asked, he saw Hao Ran on Shen Du's face. This point is also Shen Du's most helplessness, knowing that Qin Ji is in the palace, he obviously arranged the plan, but he fell short. If it weren't for that assassin, Qin Ji would have had nothing to hide.
But in this world, there is no "if", in the final analysis, he failed to find Qin Ji and failed to catch this person, because he was not thoughtful, and he was also ineffective.
"I believe he is out of the palace. As for whether he returned to Leizhou, it is still unknown. Shen Du lowered his head, and his voice was quite low.
This is a feeling, a feeling of being in the enemy, just like when Shen Du felt that Qin Ji had returned to Jingzhao and hid in the East Palace, at this moment he felt that Qin Ji had left the palace. ββThis feeling made Shen Du extremely depressed.
Several gates in the palace are guarded by tiger soldiers. No matter who enters or leaves, they will carefully check it, and even the corpses sent by the court, they have carefully examined them, but they still find nothing.
In the end, how did Qin Ji leave the palace?
Everyone believed in Shen Du's intuition and believed that Qin Ji was no longer in the palace, so they fell silent all of a sudden. Once Qin Ji left the palace, it would be even more difficult to find him.
After a while, Du pre-interjected and came in: "Since Jingzhao is not going to happen here, then is there a way to do it in Leizhou?" β
Since Jingzhao can't find Qin Ji here, let the officials in Leizhou find out that Qin Ji is no longer in Leizhou, and the effect is the same.
"No, it's not the same. In a place like Leizhou, even if the officials confirmed that Qin Ji was not there, they would not report it to the imperial court. Shen Du answered. He had already thought about this possibility, but he still felt that it was still not feasible.
Although Qin Ji is the governor of Lei, the prestige of the Chengguo Mansion is still there, and the officials of Leizhou will not risk offending the Chengguo Mansion and report the matter to Jingzhao.
The atmosphere in the room sank for a moment. The appearance of the black-clothed assassin and the fact that Qin Ji couldn't find it couldn't help but make them feel that everything was not going well.
Just when they were silent, Runian hurriedly walked in and said to Shen Du: "Master, Mama Feng came with news just now, saying that she had found Qin Ji's traces!" β
Hearing this, Shen Du immediately stood up and asked urgently, "Where is Mama Feng?" Where is Qin Ji? β
Mama Feng, that must be Ah Bi, it was Ah Bi who discovered Qin Ji's traces!
Mama Feng was waiting outside the door, although she found traces of Qin Ji, but ...... The situation is not optimistic. "It's like a year.
Before his words fell, he saw Shen Dufei sweeping out.
(Extra: Second Update!) The assassination won't bother for too long, and as for who the black-robed prince is, there will be an explanation in the third volume, haha. (To be continued......)
