The guards thought about tying up Situ Jingxin, so that in a few days, when Situ Jingxin recovered his body, he would start to set off to return to the river, but what they didn't expect was.

They received a reply from Governor Situ, saying that Situ Feng would personally return to Chang'an, and the people were already on the way, and it was estimated that they would be back in a few days.

The captain of the guard looked at the letter with mixed feelings.

When Situ Jingxin forced them to take her back to Chang'an, their guards sent a letter to the Governor, and the Governor was furious when he found out, and the matter of Hejiang that had just been dealt with rushed over.

If the Governor knew that the eldest lady had been wronged like this, he was afraid that he would not even be able to save his life.

He sighed lightly, but it was his dereliction of duty, no matter what kind of punishment, he confessed.

Ji Yanning didn't know that Situ Feng would come to Chang'an again, but what she cared about was another news.

The person who was sent out to follow Captain Zhai last time had already sent the news back, but the result was that she was very surprised.

Captain Zhai wanted his subordinates to take the lives of the prefect of Zhangzhou, kill people and set fires, but they killed the whole family, and the people she sent couldn't even stop it.

He also made the appearance of being killed by local refugees.

Ji Yanning couldn't help frowning as he looked at the news that came back.

The letter also mentions the floods in Guzhou, the collapse of river dams, the severe damage to the people, and the displacement of refugees.

If he didn't know that this was the news from his own people, Ji Yanning really thought it was an exaggeration, but with such a serious disaster, why did the prefect of Zhangzhou hide it and not report it?

As far as Ji Yanning knows, this prefect of Zhangzhou was originally recommended by the Second Princes and the First Party, and it also belonged to the Second Princes' Party in private.

However, Taiwei Zhai sent people to kill the prefect of Zhangzhou, which was obviously boring.

Now there are not as many people who support the second prince as there were at the beginning, and at this time, the second prince is still thinking about getting rid of his own people, unless it is Yi Xingzhi who betrays the second prince, or who has done something that makes the second prince angry, there is also a possibility, that is, this Yi Xingzhi will involve himself.

Therefore, it is safest to kill directly.

Thinking of this possibility, Ji Yanning's eyes flashed a little indifferent.

Even his own people can be so ruthless, isn't Taiwei Zhai afraid that the second prince will treat him like this in the future?

However, a conceited person like Captain Zhai may still think that he can control the overall situation.

It's a pity that with the temperament of the second prince, even if Taiwei Zhai really helped him to the throne with great hardship, he may not end well in the future.

The floods in Zhangzhou and the bursting of the river dam must not be hidden.

However, Ji Yanning's people saved Yi Xingzhi's ten-year-old son, and he was seriously injured, but he was still young, and he probably didn't know why his home was gone overnight. Yuan Wu asked, "Miss, should the matter of the flood in Guzhou be reported to the imperial court?"

Ji Yanning pondered for a moment and said, "Since they have already killed Yi Xingzhi, then this matter must not be hidden, and we don't need to do it." ”

Yuan Wu lowered his eyes in contemplation.

Ji Yanning said: "Taiwei Zhai sent someone to kill Yi Xingzhi, he should have been ordered by the second prince, but Yi Xingzhi has always been the second prince's person, but I am afraid that the second prince has some big secrets and is afraid of being discovered, so he has to kill Yi Xingzhi." Also, I feel that it has something to do with the floods. ”

Yi Xingzhi concealed the disaster and did not report it, the people in Chang'an City did not know about it, but the second prince would definitely know.

The second prince not only did not inform the emperor, but also sent someone to kill Yi Xingzhi, isn't it just a cover-up?

"Send someone to send the news to the third prince, except for the matter of Yi Xing's youngest son, all the other things found are relayed, and let his people take the opportunity to send this time to Zhangzhou for disaster relief, and take a good look at the cats. Ji Yanning said to Yuan Wu, "Although Yi Xingzhi is timid and afraid, he loves money very much, let him check Yi Xingzhi's account and the reason why the river dam burst." ”

Yuan Wu bowed his head and bowed his head in response.

When Yuan Wu walked out, Ji Yanning folded the letter in his hand.

Mu Lin has not completely gained the trust of the second prince, originally thought that it would take some time to bring down the second prince, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon, if he can really find out the truth, he will definitely make the second prince frustrated.

It would have been easy to break him down when the time came.

After cleaning up the second prince, then it's almost time to get to Rongling.

No matter what, she will definitely not let Rong Liang have a good time.

Ji Yanning received the news, and the second prince's side of Zhai Taiwei had also sent a message back, and the prefect of Zhangzhou had already killed all of them.

"Congratulations to Your Highness, for solving the great problem of your henchmen. Sun Moushi next to him said.

Although the second prince was happy in his heart, his face was very heavy.

He sighed lightly and said, "Lord Yi has been loyal, this prince is like this, will it be too much." ”

Sun Moushi said: "Your Highness, those who achieve great things are not informal. It was Yi Xingzhi who was too greedy for money, the second prince gave him a chance, not only did he not grasp it well, but he also managed Zhangzhou like that, it was his fault, His Royal Highness had to do it as a last resort except for him, so why blame himself. ”

The second prince said: "The strategist doesn't need to persuade much, this prince is really sad, but he can also distinguish the stakes." ”

Sun Moushi nodded, thinking that the second prince had some feelings for the people of his subordinates.

He said: "Your Highness, if our people can get the best news of the disaster relief investigation, if they can't get it, then we must criticize the problem of Yi Xing's mismanagement, and we must first ask for guilt, saying that we didn't know people well at the beginning, and we must use people in a confused way, so we must deeply reflect on it and scold Yi Xing as hard as possible." ”

The second prince nodded, he was naturally clear about this.

At the beginning, he himself recommended Yi Xingzhi, but now that something has gone wrong in Yi Xingzhi's jurisdiction and concealed the disaster, the people of the three princes will naturally not let go of this opportunity to bite him.

Therefore, if he wants to escape, he must first take action, admit the matter himself, and be sincere.

With the character of his father, even if he wants to be punished, it is just a small punishment.

Sun Moushi said: "Now that Taiwei Zhai is on His Highness's side, many things are much easier, but you can't gamble on everything. I feel that Captain Zhai can even poison his own wife, and his nature must be a little cold and usable, but I can't fully believe it. ”

The second prince listened to Sun Moushi's words and glanced over: "What do you mean?"

Seeing the eyes of the second prince, Sun Moushi lowered his head slightly, and said, "It's not that I want to provoke the relationship between His Highness and Captain Zhai, but I just want to persuade His Highness to be careful." ”

"It's okay, this prince thinks you're right. The corners of the second prince's lips hooked up with a smile, and said, "If he is the only one who holds the power of the army, this prince is still a little uneasy." ”

Sun Moushi looked at the second prince with such a look, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, didn't you mean Mu Lin?"

"Mullin is young, so he can be controlled. The second prince said.

Sun Moushi said: "It's a pity that even if Mu Lin has soldiers and horses, it is also in Nanzhao, and in comparison, the Taiwei can mobilize more soldiers in Chang'an." ”

The second prince listened to Sun Moushi's words and said with a smile: "Mobilize troops and horses in Chang'an, Mr. Sun, what do you want to do?"

Rong Yu's voice was very soft when he spoke, and with a faint coldness in his eyes, he looked at Sun Moushi.

Sun Moushi lowered his eyes and said: "There are some things, it is always prepared to be prepared, if the emperor really wants to appoint the third prince as the crown prince......"

The coldness in the eyes of the second prince gradually faded, and he said: "Even if the father wants to make the third prince the crown prince, is it possible that the prince still has to kill his brother and father in order to take the throne?"

Sun Moushi immediately said: "That's not what I mean, Your Highness, don't misunderstand." ”

"It's okay, there's no one here, so it doesn't matter. The second prince sneered and said, "Isn't this how my father ascended to the throne in the first place?"

He knew a little bit about the beginning.

His mother's concubine was originally because she cooperated with her father to win the throne, so she got the position of favorite concubine, although everyone dared not replace those things, but Su Guifei naturally did enough to save her life.

It's just that the days are gradually passing, and his father seems to be not afraid of these things for a long time, even if his reputation is bad, then he is also the emperor, who dares to accuse him of the ugly things he did at the beginning?

The winner is the king, and the loser is the villain, and only by ascending to that position can you block the mouth of Youyou.

Sun Moushi looked at the second prince, his eyes moved slightly, and he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

The third prince was also surprised when he received the news from Ji Yanning.

I didn't expect such a disaster to happen in Zhangzhou, and I didn't expect his second brother to be so ruthless that he directly slaughtered the entire Yi Mansion.

Rong Qi's eyes looked at Rong Che, who was sitting opposite, and said, "The little imperial sister-in-law's ability is really not small, and she can actually find out." ”

Rong Che said: "She has a lot of people from the Dingbei Hou Mansion under her command, and Baochang Ji is widely distributed, so it is not difficult to capture the news by herself." ”

Listening to Rong Che's words, Rong Qi said, "Why doesn't she use your subordinates?"

Rong Che said: "Why do you have to use my men?"

"You are all going to get married in the future, and you and I are still separated?" Rong Qi raised his eyebrows and looked at Rong Che, "Doesn't the little imperial sister-in-law trust you?"

Rong Che said: "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, it's good to do this, she can use it as she wants." ”

"You have a big heart. Rong Qi said, "A woman like the little imperial sister-in-law, you should firmly trap people, regardless of you and me, she will become more and more dependent on you and inseparable from you." ”

Rong Che listened to his words, nodded, and said, "There is some truth. ”

Rong Qi said: "Listen to me, yes." ”

"It's just that your imperial sister-in-law is not an ordinary woman, and she can't use ordinary methods. Rong Che said, "There are some things that can only depend on time. ”

Ji Yan would rather not rely on others so easily, if she wanted to, she could leave anyone ruthlessly.
