Cheng Zixiao heard Cheng Guzhi's words, turned his head, and snorted, but this time he didn't speak.

Hua Yan felt that she expected it well, when she was in Lin'an, when she saw Cheng Guzhi, she felt that he was not a bad person, and now she can say this about the Cheng family in front of her, which shows that she is indeed kind. She nodded, "The second son can talk about the Cheng family like this, then, do you know everything the Cheng family has done?" ”

Cheng Guzhi said in a low voice, "I know some, but I don't know very well." ”

Hua Yan nodded, stared at him and asked, "Then can the second prince tell me if the Cheng family has already violated the laws of Southern Chu?" ”

Cheng Guzhi's face turned whiter under Hua Yan's gaze, and he was silent for a long time, and his voice was even hoarse, "Yes." ”

Hua Yan asked again, "With the temperament of the second son, I haven't participated in it all along, right?" ”

Cheng Guzhi pursed his lips, "No, I have been studying and practicing martial arts." ”

Hua Yan smiled lightly, his eyes narrowed, and he softened down, "If one day, the Cheng family is defeated and convicted, and the second son is not implicated, is he willing to serve the court?" ”

Cheng Gu was shocked and stunned, raised his head suddenly, looked at Hua Yan, and asked slowly, "Dare to ask the crown princess, the Cheng family was defeated and convicted, and ...... To what extent? ”

Hua Yan smiled lightly, "What do you think the Cheng family will be guilty of with what you know about what the Cheng family has done over the years?" ”

Cheng Guzhi thought of the words "full of copies" in his mind, and looked at Hua Yan for a while, unable to answer.

Hua Yan looked at Cheng Guzhi and read the four words he thought from her eyes.

She smiled silently, and seeing that Cheng Gu was silent, she said lightly, "Judging from the crimes committed by the Cheng family, it should be enough for the Cheng family to be beheaded." Even if the Cheng family is the queen mother's maiden family, it can't reduce half of the Cheng family's sin of doing whatever they want in the north. ”

Cheng Guzhi's face turned pale, the corners of his mouth moved, and he wanted to speak, but in the end, he felt that Hua Yan was right.

Cheng Zixiao looked at Cheng Guzhi's pale face, and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Hua Yan looked at Cheng Guzhi and smiled lightly, "However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince governs the country with benevolence, although the Cheng family has done too many dark things in the Northland, although it has been full of crimes, but innocent people, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will still open the net." The words fell, she added, "For example, Cheng Qigongzi has made great contributions to the disaster relief in the north, and for example, Cheng Ergongzi can do something for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to serve the court, which is also a credit." Since ancient times, it has been nothing more than the same when it comes to merit. ”

Cheng Guzhi's face is still white, as Cheng Zixiao said, he is different from Cheng Zixiao, since he was a child, he was raised by the Cheng family, and his feelings for the Cheng family are very deep. But obviously, he was no longer accustomed to what Cheng's parents were doing, and he had already raised a small rebellion, and this small rebellion was now coming to Fengcheng with ten carts of rice grain.

This move, in the Cheng family, must not be recognized, because the Cheng family does not provide disaster relief, but is busy concealing the disaster situation, and it is his own initiative to come here.

Hua Yan said lightly, "Second Prince Cheng, think about it!" The north is so smoky and miasma, sooner or later, there will be a day of purge. To tell you the truth, I secretly came to the Northland just to help the son investigate and deal with the Northland. No matter what dark Skynet there is in the Northland, there is no escape from a sword of the Son of Heaven. Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not come, it was enough for the two of us to come. ”

Cheng Guzhi nodded, before, he had always felt that the countless hands of the northern land covered this piece of sky in darkness, I am afraid that it will not be opened, after the Heilong River burst the embankment, the flood flooded Fengcheng, Yuqiu and other places, but the officials in the northern land had no one to rescue the people, but everyone united to vigorously cover up the disaster, arrest the displaced people, and not let the imperial court know that such a big thing happened.

He didn't expect that Beidi would cover up such a big disaster to the end.

When he learned the news that the people in Fengcheng, Yuqiu and other places were starved to death one after another after escaping the flood, he finally couldn't sit still. Regardless of the opposition of his grandfather and father, he brought ten carts of rice grain to Fengcheng.

If he does not come to the relief service, his conscience will be troubled.

He thought that after coming to Fengcheng, he would see the ruined city, displaced people and dead corpses everywhere, but he didn't expect that what he would see would be Fengcheng that was being repaired in such an orderly manner, not an empty city that he had received the news of.

Maybe grandpa, father and those people would not have thought that Fengcheng is like this today, with a radius of 100 miles, and there are no homeless people.

The Su Zi they wanted to kill was well chopped, and the crown princess Huayan came to the north, and the 50,000 Anyang army had been recovered. In a short period of time, this piece of heaven in the north has been torn apart.

He thought more deeply about what a chaotic situation the southwest territory was, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had recovered the southwest in a few months, and now the northern land would not be wiped out in a short time.

The Cheng family is going to fall sooner or later.

The fifth prince spoke at this time, "Second cousin, can you think about it, is the Cheng family in the north being beheaded by the whole house?" Or is it good that someone from the Cheng family in the north has made meritorious contributions and can save some innocent descendants of the Cheng family? It's not hard to choose. Compared with the Cheng family's annihilation, there is a lot of room for mitigation now, and the key depends on what the second cousin does. ”

Hua Yan glanced at the five princes appreciatively, and said well.

Cheng Guzhi's heart was shocked, and he asked hoarsely, "What does the crown princess want me to do?" ”

Hua Yan said, "In the huge northland, not only the Cheng family is in trouble, of course, the Cheng family is not the mastermind, I want to know, the mastermind behind the scenes." Can the second son know? ”

Cheng Gu was stunned and shook his head, "Some of the things I know are that the major families in the Northland have joined forces to join forces. When the words fell, he looked at Hua Yan uncertainly, "There shouldn't be anyone who is the mastermind, right?" ”

Hua Yan shook her head, "Yes." Beidi took advantage of the fact that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recovered the southwest territory, made such a big move, mobilized all the official grain to Bei'an City, and increased the people's taxes by 20%, but the court did not get a trace of news. Then, in other words, not only all the families in the north jointly concealed it, but also someone in the imperial court to help, and there must be the mastermind. Maybe it's hidden in the north, maybe it's hidden in the imperial court, maybe it's hidden somewhere in the world. ”

Cheng Guzhi was shocked, "Does the crown princess want me to help find out the mastermind?" ”

Hua Yan said, "Since the mastermind has such a great ability, he must have done an excellent job of concealment and concealment." But by the side of the old family master of Cheng or the head of the Cheng family, if you investigate carefully, you must be able to find some clues. The second son is the grandson of the Cheng family, and he is loved by the old family master and the Cheng family, so it is not too difficult to find out some secret things. ”

Cheng Guzhi looked at Cheng Zi and smiled when he heard this, "I heard that the seventh brother has a lot of evidence in his hands. ”

Cheng Zi said with a smile, "There is a lot of evidence that made the Cheng family die, but the mastermind behind it did not." ”

Cheng Guzhi looked at Hua Yan, "Only this one thing?" ”

Hua Yan nodded, "Only this one thing, as long as you can do it well, I can promise you on behalf of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that once the Cheng family's case is discovered, the people involved in the dirty and filthy will be brought to justice, and the innocent people of the Cheng family will be innocent." ”

Cheng Guzhi closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Cheng Zi said with a smile, "There are more than 100 descendants of the four generations of the Cheng family, and there are more than 3,000 people in the nine clans of the Cheng family. There are no more than a few dozen people in the Cheng family who participated in the dark plot in the north, and the crimes of dozens of people exchanged the lives of more than 3,000 people of the Cheng family, which is more important, the second brother doesn't have to think about it. The crown princess cherishes her talents, because she took a fancy to the talent of the second brother, and the court is at the time of employing people, so the second brother has this opportunity to serve the court in the future. If you agree, just say no, if you don't, say no. With the ability of the crown princess and the son to behead the son, it is a matter of time before the people behind the scenes are found. ”

Cheng Guzhi opened his eyes and looked at Cheng Zi with a smile.

Cheng Zixiao shrugged, "Grandpa and father, as well as some people, deserve it, there is a saying that if you have done too many evil things and harmed the people, there will always be a day when you can't see it, good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil, and the time has not yet come." ”

Cheng Guzhi closed his eyes again, opened them again, and gritted his teeth, "I promise the crown princess." ”

"Okay." Hua Yan smiled and picked up the teacup, and said to Cheng Guzhi, "I replace wine with tea, and the second son is a benevolent and wise person, many people in this world are easy to say, but once they really encounter the matter of righteous annihilation, few people can do it." On this point, the second son is very respectable. ”

Cheng Guzhi picked up the teacup with difficulty and touched Hua Yan, "Thank you, Princess!" ”

He knew in his heart that Hua Yan was giving him a chance, an opportunity for his talent to have the opportunity to serve the imperial court in the future, and a chance not to kill and punish the nine clans and let go of the countless innocent descendants of the Cheng family in the north without being implicated.

His grandfather raised him since he was a child, and his father also took a fancy to him, but they were committing heinous crimes. Even if he doesn't agree to do this, as Cheng Zixiao said, it will be a matter of time before Hua Yan and Su Zi find out.

Compared with the Nine Clans, he still wants to protect the innocent descendants of the Cheng family.

After convincing Cheng Gu, Hua Yan discussed with several people and set off for Bei'an City.

Hua Yan, Cheng Zixiao, and the Five Princes left Fengcheng with An Sixteen and Qingluo, leaving Fengcheng to Xiao Yu. Hua Yan was not worried that after they withdrew, Xiao Yu would not be able to deal with it, because he had a hidden door under him.

And Cheng Guzhi just came to Fengcheng, he had to stay for a day or two, and later, and then leave, also to avoid being with Hua Yan and others.
