405 Suspicion
An Donghua looked at the shocked look on the emperor's face, smiled slightly and said deliberately: "Father is afraid that he has guessed that someone deliberately sent his uncle to Erchen, Erchen suspects, that person has bad intentions, Father, what do you think?" β
The emperor looked at him coldly, snorted and said, "Of course that person has bad intentions! "The Xin family's case has passed for many years, and Xin Zhan has disappeared for so many years, but now, someone deliberately sent Xin Zhan to An Donghua, obviously wanting him to overturn the case for the Xin family!
When the emperor thought of this, he immediately began to think about who the other party would be. First of all, it will not be people in the rivers and lakes, and it is impossible for those people to be involved in the affairs of the court, that is, the other party is a person in the court.
An Donghua continued: "Father, do you remember the ancient family in Qingzhou? β
The emperor's eyes lit up: "You mean, the Gu family who assassinated you in the first place?" When he said what he thought of here, his face changed instantly, "Do you suspect that this matter has something to do with the remnants of the Gu family?" How can it be? Could it be that the other party has infiltrated the court? β
An Donghua nodded, but deliberately didn't say who it was, only said: "Erchen suspects that it is Gu Haotian who escaped at the beginning, but why did he do it, but why did he do it, Erchen still doesn't understand very well." And his current identity ...... Erchen has not found out yet, it is certain that he has already mixed into the officialdom, and it is even likely that he is in the capital! β
Although he didn't say who it was, he actually reminded him very clearly, as long as the emperor is not a fool, I'm afraid he can find out Gu Haotian with a little investigation!
In these days, everyone has an identity document, and it is not easy to pretend to be someone, and it is even more difficult to enter the officialdom. Civilian officials are admitted to the office. Military attachΓ©s also have martial arts, and everyone who participates is innocent. It is absolutely impossible for Gu Haotian to enter the officialdom with his true identity. The only way to do this is to change your name, or impersonate yourself.
The emperor recalled in his mind the years of entering the imperial examination. The civil and military officials who stayed in the capital again, as a result, thought of one person in their minds in an instant-Qin Manting!
It's not that he is suspicious of Qin Manting, it's just that he admires Qin Manting very much, and naturally he is most impressed by him. Thinking about this, he thought of Qin Manting's background. Qin Manting's parents are dead, and there are no relatives and friends at home, if someone wants to impersonate, it is too easy!
Come to think of it. The emperor's heart began to chill. Qin Manting is not an ordinary person, he is now Princess Yuling's concubine, or is he hand-picked! If he was really Gu Haotian, then wouldn't he have pushed Princess Yuling into the fire pit with his own hands?
Thinking of Princess Yuling, the emperor's mood became complicated. Princess Yuling is the daughter of his younger brother, originally their two brothers and one mother were very affectionate, but later for this position, his own brother turned against him and even wanted to kill him!
Later, he won by one move. His younger brother died miserably, leaving only Princess Yuling, a daughter. It's a very secret thing, and few people know about it. He didn't want to be criticized, so he deliberately concealed the matter. took Princess Yuling into the palace.
Queen Xin didn't like Princess Yuling and was unwilling to raise her personally, he felt embarrassed. It was Concubine Yun at that time who offered to raise Princess Yuling, and he simply agreed.
Just selfishly. He still didn't like Princess Yuling in the end, so he knew that Concubine Yun deliberately raised Princess Yuling to be delicate and domineering. But he didn't stop it as if he didn't know anything.
And he would have assigned Princess Yuling to Qin Manting in the first place, but he didn't want Princess Yuling to become a bargaining chip for Concubine Yun and the second prince to win over courtiers or aliens, so he deliberately made Qin Manting, a person who was born a commoner and whose parents died, become a concubine.
However, An Donghua is now suing him, Qin Manting is likely to be Gu Haotian! If this is the case, wouldn't he have harmed Yu Ling with his own hands?
The emperor took a deep breath and asked An Donghua with a gloomy face: "How sure are you?" β
An Donghua frowned slightly, revealing a look of embarrassment: "Erchen...... I'm not sure, it's just a guess. β
Hearing this, the emperor suddenly felt a mouthful of blood choked in his throat, unable to swallow it and unable to spit it out.
And after Antonhua dropped such a bombshell, he didn't say more, but offered to leave. The emperor glared at him fiercely, and then said slowly, "I heard that the Zheng family has an iron mine, do you know?" β
The look of surprise on An Donghua's face couldn't have been more obvious, and he asked in surprise and innocently, "Iron ore?" Father, is this news serious? After speaking, his face became solemn, "Erchen has arrested many henchmen of the Zheng family, but there are still many people who have escaped, and their whereabouts are unknown, Erchen doesn't know that the Zheng family actually has iron mines!" β
The emperor once again had the urge to vomit blood, he glared at An Donghua hatefully, and almost gritted his teeth and asked, "You really don't know?" β
An Donghua's face was very innocent: "Erchen really doesn't know!" Dare to ask my father, where did you get the news? Do you know where the Zheng family's iron ore is? What is the scale? β
The emperor stopped talking, if he knew, he still needed to ask Andonghua? He actually felt that the iron ore thing was eighty percent true, but looking at Anton Hua's expression, he was suddenly unsure, did Anton Hua know or not?
Seeing that he didn't open his mouth and his face was not good-looking, Anton Hua had a bottom in his heart that the emperor should not know the specific situation. Also, iron ore is the hole card of the Zheng family, and it must be deeply hidden, not to mention the daughter-in-law of the Zheng family, I am afraid that even the side family does not know about it. Almost all the people of the Zheng family were wiped out by him, and the matter of the iron mine was nothing more than what he learned from the Zhao family, and An Donghua was not worried about how much they could know.
An Donghua said with a solemn expression: "Father, the matter of the iron mine is not trivial, and the sons and daughters will go to investigate, and we must find out about this matter!" β
The emperor saw that he was serious, so he didn't bother to say more, and waved his hand to let Andonghua leave. He thought about it and felt that even if the Zheng family had an iron mine, the scale should not be too large, otherwise, with the greed and ambition of the Zheng family, how could they be attached to the Zhao family, and how could they obediently stay in Jiaozhou? I'm afraid that I would have rebelled a long time ago.
So he thought about it, put this matter aside for the time being, and sent someone to check Qin Manting and Gu Haotian. Although he suspected that Qin Manting might be Gu Haotian, he was not sure or willing to be sure, so he planned to investigate this matter carefully and thoroughly, and did not regard Qin Manting as the only target.
These things are no longer what An Donghua cares about, and after An Donghua left the palace, he secretly met Si Nanchen.
Over the years, he has been in contact with Si Nanchen, Si Nanchen is responsible for the intelligence of the capital and transmitting news to him, and he is responsible for taking Jiaozhou and secretly developing his own affairs.
This meeting, in fact, the two have already made an appointment.
After Anton Hua left the palace, in order to hide people's eyes, he first returned to the palace, and after meeting Shang Jinxiu, he changed his clothes and quietly left the palace unconsciously. With his current strength, it was easy not to alarm others.
The place where the two met was a courtyard under Si Nanchen's name. The people in the courtyard were all Si Nanchen's henchmen, and when Antonhua arrived, Si Nanchen had been waiting for him for a long time.
After meeting, Si Nanchen deliberately walked around An Donghua a few times, and then said dissatisfiedly: "Why have you been in Jiaozhou for two years, not only have you not become ugly, but you have also become better looking than before?" β
An Donghua looked at him coldly, very dissatisfied with Si Nanchen's discussion of his appearance. He is a man and not a woman, what does it look like to praise him for his good looks?
Si Nanchen knew that he would be angry so he said this on purpose, he secretly smiled when he saw that Andonghua was angry, and then said deliberately: "I said, when will you let me see my sister-in-law?" I haven't seen each other for more than two years, and my sister-in-law is afraid that she has grown into a beautiful woman who has captivated the country and the city, right? With you, Yanfu is not shallow. β
When he said this, Antonhua's gaze instantly became colder, and the cold was sharp, which could freeze people to death and cut them. Si Nanchen originally deliberately laughed with him, but seeing that he was really angry, he quickly touched his nose and sneered: "I'm joking, don't take it seriously!" β
Antonhua warned: "This joke is not funny at all, remember, she is your sister-in-law!" If you do this again, our brother won't be able to do it. β
Seeing that he was serious, Si Nanchen hurriedly swore that he would never mention it again, and when he saw that An Donghua finally let him go, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Hey, I said, do you really recognize her?" β
Antonhua glanced at him: "So what?" Do you have an opinion? β
Si Nanchen hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no!" It's your business, how dare I have any opinion. I just didn't expect that you are a prince after all, and you have really become a lover, and you have guarded a woman all your life, which is incredible when you think about it. He shook his head when he said this, and did not continue the topic, but changed the topic and said, "By the way, there is something I want to tell you, there is something wrong with the second prince." β
Antonhua became serious: "Something is wrong? What do you want to say? β
Si Nanchen frowned, told the investigation of the situation, and then said, "Wasn't he seriously injured in the assassination?" I thought that this bastard was really dead, so I deliberately sent someone to check on him to see if he was really seriously injured. As a result, he did suffer a lot of injuries, but things didn't quite go wrong. β
An Donghua thought of the information that Si Nanchen had just said, and he was also suspicious in his heart. After the second prince came back this time, he found an excuse to change all the people around him, and his temperament became moody. These are actually reasonable, but the second prince rarely enters the palace to see Yun Guifei, and the few times Yun Guifei sends someone to invite him, and every time he goes, he doesn't stay for a long time.
Antonhua asked him, "What are you suspecting?" β
Si Nanchen directly said his guess: "You say...... He's not going to be given a bag, is he? (To be continued......)
