Chapter 299: The Puzzle
At the beginning, I came to Dingbei with hope, but in the end, the harvest was not big.
Zhangzhu plans to return to Yanzhou tomorrow, she has to continue to follow her own path, while looking for the truth, she also has to repay the favor and realize his dream.
"You have no choice but to go somewhere else. After a while, when the situation improves, I will accompany you back to the capital, and then you can see that the progress of the file will be much faster. β
Facing Yuan Zhen's comfort, Zhangzhu nodded and said, "Maybe it's only like this." I don't have any hope anymore, I just want to get through the most difficult time. β
No matter what happens, he will be by her side, which is what Won-jeong wants to say to her the most.
Runsheng went to help buy dry food and came back, and he also brought back a man.
That person was Zhao Geng, Zhangzhu and Yuanzhen were very surprised to see him take the initiative to come to the door, and Zhangzhu hurriedly asked him: "Do you think of anything?" β
Zhao Geng said: "There is one thing I don't know if it has anything to do with General Xie's case, but I want to make it clear to you." β
Yuan Zhen saw that he didn't speak very clearly because of his excitement, so he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, you speak slowly." β
"When I heard that there was a brother in Lenghai who had close contacts with this side, I also met General Xie and said that he wanted to negotiate with General Xie, but I couldn't be in front of that negotiation, so I don't know what was discussed. However, it didn't work out, because General Xie was angry that day and didn't say a word to anyone for two days in a row. β
The three of them were all surprised, and Yuan Zhen hurriedly asked, "How is the person who has dealings with this side now?" β
Zhao Geng said: "I heard that he has replaced Leng Hai to become the new leader of the Jin people, and that person is Man Hai." β
It finally coincided with what Zhou Da said, and she hurriedly asked, "Do you know Manhai?" β
Zhao Geng nodded and said, "I know, a very tall man, half a head taller than General Xie." But this person is just a showman, although he is tall and martial arts, he is not as good as half of Leng Hai. This person is very good at camping, I heard that he loves to read Chinese books, and he is very good at strategy. At the beginning, he killed his relatives in order to compete for the position of leader.,Compared to Leng Hailai, he is more ruthless.,It's a person who can even do it with his own siblings.γ β
"You said that he has close contact with this side, except for the time when he negotiated with my father, did he sneak into Yanzhou and do anything?"
"I don't know anything else, but I've heard others say that this Manhai has dealings with a certain minister of Dachu, of course, I've only heard about it."
Zhangzhu immediately became nervous, a certain minister? At that moment, she seemed to be close to the truth of the facts, but unfortunately Zhao Geng couldn't provide her with closer information, and the confidential matters above were not something that a personal guard could interfere in.
On the way back from Dingbei, Zhangzhu has been silent, and what recurred in her mind was the last few words that Zhao Geng said to her, Man Hai had a relationship with a certain minister of Dachu, how deep is this relationship, and whether it is a crucial part of the case. Zhangzhu feels closer and closer to the truth, but the most critical place has not been opened. Was a certain minister someone she knew? Is it the Xun family? The Cai family? Or Li Huaibi? She was only suspicious of the family, but there was no sufficient evidence.
"Do you think that someone from Manhai and Da Chu secretly colluded, someone helped him fight for the position, and he promised someone benefits?"
Zhangzhu nodded: "This is a direction, but we have no evidence, and we don't know who a certain minister is." Speaking of which, I still haven't found out who the witness was back then, and the key witness is not there, so I always feel that I still can't move forward. β
Chu Yuanzhen thought about it, and he analyzed with Zhangzhu: "If the Xie case is really someone who deliberately framed the general, it is very likely that the witness is not in the world." β
After his reminder, Zhangzhu quickly thought of Li Huaibi, who hanged himself. Then Li Huaibi was the chief judge back then, he must know something, but he committed suicide in fear of crime, or was he coerced to death?
"Second son, I always feel that this matter has something to do with the Xun family, but there is no key evidence. Could it be that Xun Shao fell in love with Miss Cai and wanted to marry Miss Cai, so he finally used such a trick. β
Yuan Zhen said: "If this is the case, it is not enough for Xun Shao to die a hundred times." β
"The Xie family and the Xun family are still married, but Miss Cai is pregnant, and the so-called dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, and finally had to set up a game. But why did you frame my father, why did we have our whole family to accompany our lives, he didn't love him and explained to me, should I still stop him? Will you still make things difficult with him everywhere? I'm not that kind of person...... I understand that twisted melons are not sweet, as long as he makes it clear, he will definitely not be stalked. Such a betrayal caused the whole family to be buried together, and Zhangzhu didn't know that a person's heart could be so fierce.
Xun Shao used to be her fiancΓ©, and in the face of her fiancΓ©'s betrayal, there are several women who can bear it. He also knew that Xie Ruoyi liked this fiancΓ© very much, and he liked it so much that he couldn't pretend to be someone else in his heart. Chu Yuanzhen looked at the woman in front of him, he saw anger and sadness in this woman's eyes, but there were no tears. He had never persuaded Zhangzhu to give up hatred, and some things could not be easily turned over with a single word of forgiveness.
Chu Yuanzhen comforted her gently: "Ruoyi, I know the pain in your heart, it's okay if you cry in front of me, you don't have to be strong." β
Zhangzhu shook his head and said, "Tears are the most useless thing, I won't shed tears anymore." I want to turn things around, and if I want to find out the real enemy of the Xie family, I can't be cowardly anymore. β
All this is just their speculation, but there is no conclusive evidence, unless that Man Hai can stand up and testify to the matter himself.
"Next, let's find out who else has befriended this Manhai."
Zhangzhu looked at him suspiciously: "Do you have a direction?" β
Yuan Zhen said: "Since he has infiltrated Yanzhou, there must be someone in Yanzhou who has dealt with him." β
It must not be easy to find this person, and there are some things that cannot be reached by their current status.
"Ruoyi, I have to hold Yanzhou in my hand, and it will be much easier to investigate something when the time comes."
This truth is correct, but in the end, the Ten Princes' Mansion is a rebel, Chu Yuanzhen may not have twenty people who can use people, how can these people turn Yanzhou into their own territory? In everyone's eyes, this is almost impossible.
"You don't believe I have this ability, Ruoyi, don't underestimate me, don't think I'm just a nerd who likes to read. Others will lay it out, and I can lay it out too, so if you don't believe it, just wait and see. β
He was stunned by his confident appearance.
At this time, Chu Yuanzhen reached over and held a hand that was placed on his lap, he held it gently, and said earnestly: "Just ask you not to hide from me." β
