In the palace.

After Zhao Hengyi came to the imperial study, he saw Wang Chao, the eunuch who was standing next to him.

This guy is here, things are a little difficult to say, he doesn't know how to explain to the emperor, and the other is what if he hears all the secrets and tells His Royal Highness King Zhou?

So now there's only one way, and that's to leave this guy right here.

"Your Majesty, the minister is here to tell you about the results of my investigation."

The official asked in some surprise: "Did you find the murderer so quickly?" No, when did Aiqing handle the case so well? ”

Looking at the curious look of the official family, Zhao Hengyi hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, this investigation is not very difficult, and we finally found out that this matter has something to do with a dead person. ”

"This person is a Jiangyang thief, and he was finally arrested and imprisoned, but he was not really dead, but was replaced, as for who was replaced, I have also found out, it is Liu Changlin, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites."

Wang Chao, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal of the celebrant on the side, was not happy when he heard this, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, King Annan must have slandered Liu Shilang here because the two of them had a conflict before!" ”

"What kind of character Liu Shilang is, the slave couldn't be clearer."

The official family was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then shouted angrily at Wang Chao.

"Do you still have the face to talk about this?"

"I'm giving you a chance, but I'm not asking you to make things up in front of me!"

"I've seen through this a long time ago, and now you're spreading rumors here, do you really think I can't cure you!"

Wang Chao was stunned when he heard this, he didn't know what to say next.

Zhao Hengyi didn't expect the emperor to see this matter so thoroughly, it seems that the emperor is not as simple as he imagined, he must have a set of intelligence officers of his own.

"Go on."

"Before Liu Changlin could say anything, he was already killed, in front of us, and he was sent by the people behind the scenes."

"After a detailed investigation, this minister won't say anything more here, and finally found out that the person behind this scene is a person called Shangzhi."

"The place where they gather is under a gambling game, and it's full of disorganized people, so there's no fear of being exposed."

"In addition, there is also the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant and is also a subordinate of the person behind the scenes, and he is a dark line placed next to the emperor!"

As soon as these words came out, the big eunuch was frightened, and he quickly knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, he is deliberately framing me!"

"What kind of person is a slave, the emperor no longer knows it, how can a slave do something to betray the emperor, this is absolutely impossible, the emperor, you must believe in the slave!"

How can officials be so easily deceived by others?

He roared, "The Guards! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, several wrinkled men rushed in from outside, and they were furious.

"Arrest Wang Chao for me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Wang Chao was tied up, Zhao Hengyi then said: "Your Majesty, we finally investigated the person behind this scene, and the most likely one is His Royal Highness King Zhou!" ”

"At present, there is a piece of evidence, that is, we found the dragon chair in that underground palace, and also found a fan of His Royal Highness King Zhou!"

"If he wasn't behind the scenes, why would there be a fan of his in the underground palace? It's obviously related to him! ”

The official was even more shocked when he heard this, and his eyes widened, unable to believe that this thing was true.

"Do you mean that King Zhou wants to rebel against me?"

Zhao Hengyi nodded lightly, "It should be so." ”

"Impossible, King Zhou has such a good relationship with me, how could he do such a rebellious thing, you must have made a mistake in the investigation!"

Zhao Hengyi didn't know what he should say to be able to make the emperor believe in this matter, but it was definitely not that simple.

"Your Majesty, this is what the minister investigated, it should be His Royal Highness King Zhou, maybe you can ask the master of ceremonies next to you, isn't it?"

Only then did the official family remember that there was also a celebrant next to him, and he was the only one alive who knew about it.

It's better to ask some information in his mouth that others don't know, this is still better.

"Wang Chao, I will give you a chance to make up for your mistakes, let's talk about it, tell the truth of this matter, and I may be able to spare your life!"

"Otherwise, can you Wang Chao afford the charge of rebellion and rebellion!"

After hearing this, Wang Chao trembled and didn't know how to answer him, and sighed, "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, and the minions have nothing to hide." ”

"The slave doesn't know if that person is His Royal Highness the King of Zhou, maybe it is, because we never know if he is the King of Zhou or who he is, we only know that we all call him to the throne."

"He claimed that he was the prince who had disappeared in the palace, the second prince, and he said that the throne was originally his, so he wanted to take it back."

"The reason why the minion chose to help him is because the minion's brother was also involved in this matter back then, and the minion hated ......"

The official family was stunned when he heard it at this time, and he never thought that this matter could be linked to the palace case back then, and this person also claimed to be the lost prince of the year.

Everyone knows that the second prince of the year has indeed disappeared, and now he suddenly appears in the palace, which is really dangerous.

Zhao Hengyi was even more frightened when he heard it, he never thought that the word Liu Changlin left in the end turned out to be the prince!

What he didn't expect was that someone was impersonating his identity.

Thinking about it, this Wang Chao shouldn't lie, he has no choice, and the other is that the eunuch who took him out back then is also surnamed Wang......

"The man who called himself the second prince told us that he also wanted to repay the hatred of the past, he wanted to overthrow this court, and he said that the only chance now is to kill King Annan!"

"Only by killing him, then the government will become extremely unstable, and at this time, you can take advantage of the situation and rebel......"

"And we did so, the last time King Annam came to the capital, we have been trying our best to create some difficulties for him."

"But I didn't expect him to never die, including these few days, we are also trying our best to let King Annan die!"

At this moment, Zhao Hengyi finally understood the whole process of the matter, that is to say, His Royal Highness King Zhou has been pretending to be the second prince all along.

That is, to impersonate yourself.
