"Zhuang Yu's adoptive father Zhuang Wei is a well-known good man in ten miles and eight towns, and his adoptive mother died early, but Zhuang Wei never continued the string," Shunzi took the tea handed by Cuiyan and drank it all, and continued: "Zhuang Yu is counted as Zhuang Wei's single-handedly raised, and the people seem to know about Zhuang Yu, but later we still found some things. ”

"What did you find?" Qian Fan looked at Junko and asked a little strangely, "Is there anything special that you have discovered?" ”

"Well, it can only be said that it is some superficial things, plus my own speculation, because I have been in Zhuzhou for so long, but I have never seen Zhuang Wei go out, how can such a person become a good person?" Junko said while talking: "I thought that this Zhuang Wei didn't like to go out on weekdays, but after inquiring, I found out that this was not the case. ”

Zhuang Wei is a great good person, so every New Year's festival will give the local people cloth clothes and porridge, Shunzi went to the coincidence, a few days is exactly fifteen, but although Zhuang Mansion opened a warehouse to give porridge, but Zhuang Wei did not appear.

Junzi brought Jiuying with him at that time, so he naturally had to check on such an abnormal thing, so after pretending to be a guy who delivered food and rice back and forth dozens of times, he finally figured out the general situation of Zhuangfu.

So that night, Shunzi sneaked into the Zhuang Mansion with a few brothers from the Ninth Battalion, but what they didn't expect was that the guards in the Zhuang Mansion were very strict at night, and it took a lot of effort for them to touch Zhuang Wei's study.

"But I found out that this Zhuang Wei is not the real Zhuang Wei," Junzi seemed to be thinking about something, pursed his lips before continuing: "At that time, on the roof of our potential house, I saw Zhuang Wei's face, and he seemed to be talking to someone again, which mentioned that his face was about to mold every day, and the other party replied in a very low voice, I didn't hear it clearly, but it vaguely seemed that you were patient for a while, and if you were fast or something, so I began to suspect that there was something wrong with this." ”

"Shunzi, what you mean is that the real Zhuang Wei is very likely to be dead, and the current Zhuang Wei and even the people in the Zhuang Mansion may be an illusion arranged by Zhuang Yu and Yuan Zun for the emperor to send!" Qian Fan quickly thought of the key point, and then said, "Have you got any key evidence?" ”

"No, the people inside are very vigilant, we stayed there for so long, but we didn't even find Zhuang Wei's body, it is very likely that they have already disposed of it." Junko shook his head and sighed: "I think those people are sincerely grateful to that Zhuang Wei, but it's a pity that such a good person is gone." ”

"It seems that this Zhuang Yu is really a ruthless person!" Qian Fan took a bite of the apple and said lightly: "Even the father who has been raised by himself for many years can do it, let alone those of us who have nothing to do with it?" ”

"Door master, it's better to send someone to kill him directly," Jiang didn't know when he heard this, he naturally knew that this Zhuang Yu was definitely not such an easy person to deal with, since he knew that there was danger, it was better to take advantage of it and avoid harm, and kill him directly.

"Before the matter is clear, you can't touch him for the time being, and now that he is dead, then the Seventh Prince will be very suspicious," Qian Fan shook his head and said: "Although the whereabouts of the Seventh Prince are unknown now, no one will suspect Zhuang Yu, because he has not been recognized by the emperor yet." ”

"However, if the Seven Princes disappear or die, then the emperor will inevitably consider his recognition of his ancestors and return to his ancestors, after all, the emperor values brotherhood and friendship the most, but he can't have an accident now, once something happens, it will inevitably be planted on the Seven Princes."

Qianfan's words made everyone fall silent, the truth is indeed as Qianfan said, but the whereabouts of the current Seven Princes are unknown, and the Jiangbei flood is indeed the best time to get rid of the Seven Princes.

"Princess, in fact, even if we find evidence that Zhuang Yu killed Zhuang Wei, it is useless, if the emperor makes up his mind to let Zhuang Yu recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, then Zhuang Yu naturally has thousands of reasons to explain this matter, if he really becomes a prince, it may be difficult for us to deal with him at that time."

Junzi was the first to break the silence, he stayed by Qianfan's side for the longest time, and he also knew the situation in the capital very well, so he also knew best that once Zhuang Yu became the prince, then only treason or great evil deeds could make the emperor abandon a prince, so it would inevitably mean that they would have to pay a greater price.

"Is there any movement over there in Jialan?" Qian Fan waved his hand, picked up a bunch of grapes and began to put them in his mouth, and said while eating: "Yuan Zun will definitely be very quiet recently, because he has to stabilize Zhuang Yu first, is there any news from the song?" ”

"Quzi came to the news a few days ago that Nalan Ming has returned to Yuanzun's mansion, but it seems that they are not very close to each other, and Yuanzun's eldest lady has two sons, so it must not be much better for Nalan Ming." Junzi thought for a while and said, "But Nalan Ming doesn't seem to mind, he drinks drunk every day, and he doesn't know what to do." ”

"Nalan Ming is not so simple, let them watch carefully, if there is anything wrong, hurry up and retreat." Qian Fan said with a smile: "The rumors we spread in the capital will be quelled by the queen soon, but the emperor went to pray for blessings today, presumably the queen and Zhuang Yu have already met, and I am happy to find a way to spread this news to the emperor's ears, and I am happy to add to them." ”

Waiting for Junzi to leave, Qian Fan put down the grapes he had been eating, and said to Jiang Buzhi: "Are you sure to go to the palace?" ”

Qian Fan knew that Jiang Buzhi was the only one whose martial arts were on par with Nalan Minhao, so she felt that it was not impossible for Jiang Buzhi to want to sneak into the palace, so she asked this question.

"There should be no problem." Jiang didn't know how to think about it, nodded and said, "What do you have to say?" ”

"Go to the queen's bedroom tonight and listen to what they have to say," Qian Fan closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair and said: "The queen is not easy to deal with, now that she plans to help Zhuang Yu, it means that we have one more opponent, and it is not easy to deal with!" ”

In the middle of the night, when Jiang Buyi sneaked into the palace, the emperor had just received the news that the whereabouts of the Seventh Prince in Jiangbei were unknown.

"When did this happen?" The emperor looked at the letterhead in his hand and looked at the black-clothed man kneeling in the hall, who was his most loyal secret guard and the first master of Ouchi Ming Yang.

"News half a month ago, the people sent by his subordinates found that there were still people looking for the Seventh Prince, presumably Yue Qianfan's people, but the prince was not in the capital during this time, presumably he personally led someone to find it." Ming Yang said respectfully to the emperor.

"Yue Qianfan, since she married Min Hao, Min Hao has completely stood on the side of Lao Qi," the emperor suddenly grabbed the letterhead in his hand and said coldly: "Is Lao Qi planning to usurp the throne?" I am still alive, and he can't wait to win over the minister, does he think that I have no other son to choose from besides him? ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the Seven Princes don't mean this, how can the emperor not know what the ministers think? That's just human nature. At this time, Wei Zhiyang, who had been standing aside, said calmly: "The Seventh Prince is the prince who has been favored by the emperor since childhood, and now there are only three princes and seven princes left under the emperor's knees, the three princes have no intentions, and the whereabouts of the Seven Princes are now unknown, who does the emperor think is most suspicious of letting the Seven Princes disappear?" Or is the emperor still insisting on letting that prince recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors? ”

"Zhiyang, you've been standing with Yue Qianfan for a long time, aren't you?" The emperor's cold gaze fell on Wei Zhiyang, and he seemed to be quite displeased.

In fact, he also understands what Wei Zhiyang said, those ministers have been in the court for many years, and they are all like human beings, and in the current situation, they will naturally show favor to Lao Qi, but why did Lao Qi forget what he taught him back then, how can he make a big move? Sure enough, this is just going to Jiangbei, and it will cause trouble, and I don't know what happened.

"Your Majesty, Zhiyang will always only stand on the side of Huangyuan Kingdom," Wei Zhiyang looked at the emperor calmly and said, "And that person has something for me to tell the emperor." ”

Ming Yang noticed Wei Zhiyang's eyes, knew that he had something to say to the emperor alone, and then looked up at the emperor, and found that the emperor nodded imperceptibly, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I received news today that the queen once secretly went out of the palace to see Zhuang Yu, which was arranged by the Yingwu Marquis Mansion and Yun Zisheng, and the humble post was retired." ”

When Ming Yang retreated, the emperor slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a faint smile: "You see, my body can't last that long, but these people are all starting to move, I thought that Yue Qianfan's means were enough to pave all the way for Lao Qi, why did Lao Qi disappear?" ”

When Wei Zhiyang heard the emperor's words, his heart suddenly sank, it turned out that what Fan'er said when he saw him in private a few days ago was true! And she actually guessed the emperor's mind!

"Your Majesty, Fan'er told Weichen that the emperor deliberately pretended to ignore it and wanted to protect the Seventh Prince, so he had to lure the snake out of the hole," Wei Zhiyang put away his other thoughts, took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it to the emperor and said: "Fan'er said that she knew that the emperor asked her to serve as the Punishment Division at the beginning to find out all the traitors among them, and later left the Punishment Division so that she could better plan for the Seventh Prince." ”

The emperor opened the letter and quietly looked at the beautiful font, and for some reason it was as if he saw Qianfan standing in front of him, talking to himself.

"Your Majesty, the woman is not talented, but now she understands that the emperor wants to protect the Seven Princes, it seems that the emperor has noticed that Yuanzun has colluded with a certain high-ranking and powerful person in the palace, but I don't know who it is yet, Jiangbei Minhao has gone to help, presumably the rebellion there will be quelled as soon as possible."

"When did she know that Jiangbei was not flooded, but rebelled?" After reading this paragraph, the emperor showed a surprised expression on his face that was frowning all day long, and he couldn't help but raise his head to look at Wei Zhiyang and asked.
