Chapter 98: The Man Behind the Scenes
In the palace, in the pure hall, all the eunuchs and palace maids were prostrate on the ground, trembling, and their faces were full of fear.
Because this is the palace where the prince lives, and because the prince is in a bad mood and is in a big rage.
The prince sat in the study with a face full of anger, and the floor was sprinkled with the crumbs of vases, broken paper scraps, broken food boxes, pen and ink inkstones, and so on.
He was in a terrible mood, almost to the extreme, his face was full of rage, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was gushing with anger.
He was angry, of course, because his most important aides and supporters had died, and so aggrieved.
Wang Zheng, as the crown prince's protector, is not only the prince's teacher, but also his most important right-hand man and supporter.
In the Qingyuan Kingdom, the powerful officials were divided into two factions.
One is the crown prince line headed by Prime Minister Murong Changtian and Prince Taibao Wang Zheng.
Most of the people in this faction are civil officials, such as Liu Shangshu, who was previously eradicated by the He family, and they are all staunch supporters of the crown prince.
The reason why Mu Qinghe was made the crown prince three years ago was because of the support of the prime minister, the crown prince, Liu Shangshu and others.
The other faction is the military attaches led by He Yaotian and Tang Chong, who support the second prince Mu Qingyuan.
It's a pity that Mu Qingyuan is loyal and benevolent, and he is not good at forming a party for personal gain, in addition to doing penance in the Dragon Martial Academy, he is killing the enemy on the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang.
Mu Qinghe, on the other hand, is much smarter and more insidious, he was scheming when he was young, he would win over people's hearts, form gangs, and even encompass the prime minister, the crown prince and others.
For a long time, the Wang family and the Murong family have been the most staunch backing and supporters of the prince.
He Yaotian reigned for one day, and the crown prince could not ascend the throne, so the He family was a thorn in the prince's side and a thorn in the flesh.
The Murong family and the Wang family are the two sharp swords that Mu Qinghe used to move to eradicate the He family.
And now, this sword has been broken, and it is so miserable that it has made the He family pick up the biggest bargain.
"Your Highness Qiqi, Murong Gongzi asks to see you!"
The eunuch's respectful voice came from outside the house, which made the angry prince relax a little.
"Let him in. The prince waved his hand, leaned back on the prince's chair and rubbed his eyebrows, bowed his head and pondered.
Soon, Murong Jingluo walked into the study, and after greeting the prince, he also sat on the chair.
Obviously, Murong Jingluo has a very good relationship with the prince, the two have played together since they were children, and he is also a person that the prince values and trusts very much.
"Murong Jingluo, this matter I ordered you should have been seamless, how could it end like this?
Murong Jingluo had come to ask for guilt on this trip, so he knew the meaning of the prince's words, and his expression was a little guilty. (Good Novel)
"Your Highness, our plan was seamless, but I can't figure out why this happened. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Autumn Hunting Conference, we calculated that the three brothers of Wang Tong would find He Wuxian for revenge, and I finally killed Wang Tong and blamed He Wuxie. ”
"Afterwards, those so-called witnesses were also arranged by me, in order to confirm the charge of He Wuxian, so that the Wang family was completely furious and led Wang Zheng to take action. Originally, I also knew Wang Zheng's plan, whether it was sending an undercover agent to send the dragon robe jade seal into the He Mansion, or digging a tunnel underground to hide weapons and blaming the He family, this was a very secret matter. ”
"Originally, these should all come naturally, this time the He family is definitely in a catastrophe, and His Majesty the Emperor will also take this opportunity to eradicate the He family. However, I don't know why, things have turned out like this, those dragon robes, jade seals and weapons have all been transferred!"
There was silence in the study, and Murong Jingluo and the crown prince were silent, frowning and pondering.
However, no one expected that the words revealed by Murong Jingluo just now would contain such an amazing secret.
The crown prince and Murong Jingluo turned out to be the real masterminds behind the scenes!
At the beginning, during the Autumn Hunting Conference, on the Overlord Mountain of the Tiger Mountain Range, the blue-robed man who killed Wang Tong last turned out to be Murong Jingluo!
Moreover, this qiē turned out to be in the prince's plan!
Since then, the crown prince and Murong Jingluo have been plotting against the He family, using Wang Tong as a pawn, causing Wang Zheng to act angrily and blame the He family.
In order to eradicate the He family, the crown prince Mu Qinghe can be said to do everything, even his teacher Wang Zheng is also a pawn he uses.
In order to force Wang Zheng to eradicate the He family, the prince even did not hesitate to let Murong Jingluo kill Wang Tong!
This kind of means is simply ruthless, and the six relatives don't recognize it!
However, in the eyes of the crown prince and Murong Jingluo, these are nothing.
The crown prince believes that those who achieve great things are not informal, and in order to achieve the hegemony of the emperor, even close relatives can be killed.
After a pause, Murong Jing saw that the prince was still frowning, so he said tentatively: "Your Highness, look, could it be He Yaotian's old fox who made the move?"
"Impossible!" the crown prince categorically denied Murong Jingluo's speculation and frowned.
"On that day, a feast was held in Hefu, and I sent two generals to pester He Yaotian to drink, and they kept drinking and chatting until the fourth watch, and later went to the morning court together. Therefore, this matter must not be He Yaotian's doing. ”
Hearing this, Murong Jingluo was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief: "It's not He Yaotian, is it He Wuhate who did it?" This is impossible! That little bastard is just an eighth-level warrior, and there is no shortage of martial arts powerhouses in the Wang family's courtyard, and it is absolutely impossible for him to hide from the masters of the Wang family. ”
"Yes, I don't think it's possible, but if it's not their grandfather and grandson, who will it be?"
In the study, the crown prince and Murong Jingliu were silent, frowning and meditating for a long time, but they couldn't come up with a reason.
......
"Who's behind this?"
In He Mansion's study, He Yaotian and He Wuxian also frowned deeply.
Today, He Chong brought back a piece of news, a not very big but very important news.
He Chong found out the news that the reason why Wang Zheng planted the blame for the He family and wanted to eradicate the He family regardless of the situation was to take revenge on his son Wang.
Because, Wang Tong died, and the death was extremely miserable, and the body was dismantled.
At the same time, after several investigations, the Wang family finally determined that He Wuxian killed Wang Tong's three brothers, and also divided Wang Tong's body with a knife.
Although the other two children of the Wang family are excellent, they will die when they die, and they will definitely not make Wang Zheng so angry that he loses his mind and rashly starts a war against the He family.
But Wang Tong is different, he is the most outstanding and outstanding son of the younger generation of the Wang family.
Since ten years ago, Wang Zheng has devoted all his efforts to cultivating him as the future head of the family.
Therefore, Wang Tong's death is equivalent to destroying Wang Zheng's efforts for more than ten years, so he will be abnormal and can't help but fight with the He family.
Wang Tong is Wang Zheng's reverse scale, just like He Wuxian's two brothers are He Yaotian's reverse scale.
If he was killed without hatred, even if the murderer was the prime minister Murong family, He Yaotian would have no scruples and would kill and slaughter the Murong family.
This matter, Wang Zheng's anger, He Yaotian and He Wuxian can understand it.
But the only thing that is puzzling is that Wang Tong was not killed by He Wuhate at all, he just cut off Wang Tong's legs.
At that time, he defeated Wang Tong, cut off Wang Tong's legs, and was injured by the Starburst Bomb himself, so when Wang Tong took out the Starburst Bomb to die with him, he turned around and fled.
It stands to reason that Wang Tong is an eighth-level warrior, even if his legs are cut off, he will not die, and he will definitely be able to escape from Overlord Mountain and be rescued by others.
Later, Wang Tong died, and the body was divided into three pieces, it was really a dead body, and the death was very miserable.
As a result, He Yaotian, He Wuxian and others all realized a problem.
There was a mastermind behind the scenes, who killed Wang Tong and intensified the conflict between the Wang family and the He family.
From the beginning of the Autumn Hunting Conference, the mastermind behind the scenes began to promote the entire plan and conspiracy, in order to eradicate the He family.
"It's such a vicious approach, who is deliberately dealing with my He family?" He Yaotian frowned deeply.
He Wuxian also frowned and pondered, he thought for a long time before he slowly raised his head, looked out the window with his eyes, and threw out an even more shocking sentence.
"Grandpa, I suspect that the person who framed me for insulting Princess Lianyu in the first place is also related to this mastermind behind the scenes!"
His words shocked He Yaotian, He Chong and He Feng, and their eyes flashed with worry.
"Think about it, half a year ago, I was framed, insulted Princess Lianyu, and was almost killed by the palace guards. In the past six months, He Chong and Blood Cry have been investigating this matter, and the last clues point to the Liu family, the Wang family, and the Murong family. However, it has never been possible to dig deeper clues, and it is impossible to find the person behind the scenes, and I don't know who did it. ”
"Now that the Wang family is still behind the scenes, we can't find out who is secretly manipulating this qiē. So, I think it's likely the same person behind these two things!"
As soon as the words came out, He Yaotian and the others were surprised, and after careful consideration, they found that what He Wuxian said was very reasonable.
At this time, He Wuxian continued to analyze: "Actually, we want to find out who is behind the scenes, but it is difficult to find out, because that black hand is too powerful. But there is a way to help us analyze who is behind the scenes. ”
"It's simple, let's think backwards. The other party is so bent on eradicating our He family, then I want to ask, to whom is the biggest obstacle and threat to the existence of our He family?"
"Let me ask another question, in this series of intrigues, whether it is the Liu family, the Hu family, or the Wang family and the Prime Minister Murong family, they are all just a chess piece. So, who else can have the ability to use these wealthy families as pawns, who else can there be in the entire Qingyuan Kingdom?"
After He Wuxian's words were finished, He Yaotian and the three of them were all moved, and they all turned their heads to look at the north in the distance, and their eyes became very gloomy.
To the north of Hefu, six miles away, is the Imperial Palace!
At this moment, everyone vaguely guessed who was behind the scenes.
It's just that this mastermind behind the scenes is really powerful, and everyone is a little out of breath.
