Chapter 427: Everyone fell into Zhou Dui's trap
Zhou Xing also had the same worries, but he didn't know what chess Zhou Du was playing. He suspected that someone was working for Zhou Du outside, but as far as he knew, there was no movement in Suzhou City at the moment.
Except for the Rong family's first night when they came to Suzhou City at dusk, a man in black sneaked into the study to look for something, and there was nothing unusual after that.
"This king also thinks that Zhou Du is too calm, as if he has the chance to win." Zhou Xing paced back and forth indoors, wondering if he had missed any key clues?
Soho thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Is there anything unusual about the attendants around His Highness?" ”
"Qi Zhiyuan has never left Zhou Dui's side, as for the other guards around Zhou Dui, this king doesn't know him, he only knows that one person is Qi Zhiyuan's brother, and the Qi brothers are all running errands by Zhou Dui's side." Zhou Xing thought about it, but he still couldn't remember anything missing.
There was a sudden silence in the room.
Soho also knew that this battle was very crucial, and if Zhou Du really found evidence, Zhou Xing would definitely be implicated. It is clear that Zhou Xing didn't know about the ink corruption case five years ago, but Emperor Cheng De would not think so.
This trip to Suzhou, although Zhou Xing had asked Emperor Chengde for leave, he did not make it clear that he was coming to Suzhou.
Maybe this trip to Zhou Xing shouldn't have come, but Concubine Shu wanted to drag Zhou Xing into the water.
"Your Highness, why don't we go back to Beijing?" Soho suddenly felt that this was the safest way.
The Zheng family's disaster can't let Zhou Xing pay, and at this critical moment, Zhou Xing should protect himself and stay out of the matter as much as possible.
Zhou Xing knew that Soho's idea was right, and if he wasn't sure how to control Zhou Dui's actions, Zhou Du would most likely find conclusive evidence.
But let him be defeated without a fight like this, he can't do it.
"It's not time to leave yet." Zhou Xing vetoed Soho's proposal.
"It's just the right time to leave. Nothing has happened at the moment, and His Highness has no evidence in his hands. The concubine thought that His Royal Highness should not come this time, and if His Highness could not find evidence, it didn't matter if His Highness was in Suzhou or not. If His Highness finds evidence......"
"This king can take the opportunity to destroy it!" Zhou Xing interrupted Soho's lobbying: "Needless to say, this king has made up his mind." ”
"After His Highness destroys the evidence, he will not be able to get rid of suspicion, and it will attract His Majesty's suspicion, and His Highness will be even more shameless in front of His Majesty in the future." Soho answered.
She wanted to persuade Zhou Xing to return to Beijing, but Zhou Xing had already made up her mind and didn't listen to the dissuasion.
In the next half a month, Zhou Du still lived in the Jiang family leisurely, in addition to taking Gu Xiyan to tour the mountains and rivers inside and outside the city, more often he stayed in the courtyard with Gu Xiyan and raised his eyebrows.
The more laid-back he was, the more anxious Zhou Xing became.
In Zhou Xing's opinion, Zhou Dui seemed to have the chance to win, but he didn't know why Zhou Dui was so confident.
He kept a close eye on Zhou Du in the past half month, and he was sure that Zhou Du had no contact with anyone in Suzhou during this period, unless there was something wrong with the Jiang family.
But he was sure of one thing, the Jiang family was not involved.
He must have missed some important message.
On this day, Zhou Xing listed all the relationships in Suzhou City, and then looked at them carefully.
Su Ho also took a closer look, the most direct participants in this are the Rong family and Lu Nan, it is impossible for these two families to betray the Zheng family, as for the others, they are all small soldiers, under the control of Lu Nan, even if they want to betray the Zheng family, they can't come up with real evidence, and this kind of big case is likely to lose the entire family, and it is impossible for anyone to be stupid enough to take the initiative to surrender to Zhou Dui.
"Jane's family!" Zhou Xing suddenly pointed to the Jian family, and finally found the problem.
Soho was like an initiation: "What His Highness said is that it is the Jian family." Jian Tongzhi can also be regarded as half a victim, the old prefect was removed from his official position, and Jian Tongzhi should have been on the throne, but in the end he was robbed of his official position by Governor Lu. Moreover, five years ago, Jian Tongzhi also knew some inside information, and also knew that the old prefect was pushed out to take the blame. If the concubine is His Royal Highness, she will definitely know the same thing as Jane......"
Before she finished speaking, Zhou Xing had already asked Zhao De to inquire about the current situation of the Jian family.
Zhao De quickly inquired back, "The old slave heard that the eldest son of Jian had left Suzhou City, but he didn't know where he went. ”
Zhou Xing took out the map, and when he saw Wuxi, his face changed slightly.
Not only did Zhou Xing see the doorway, but Soho also saw that the reason why Jian Junyi was not in Suzhou City, but went to Wuxi.
At the beginning, she also thought that if she wanted to do a grain business, she would definitely not be able to bypass Wuxi, after all, Wuxi is one of the largest grain markets in Dajin.
She even thought that with Zhou Xing's strength, if she mastered the Wuxi grain market and created a food shortage, she would be able to earn countless amounts of money and silver.
Five years ago, Wuxi was the disaster grain supply grain market.
Jian Junyi undoubtedly went to Wuxi to look for evidence.
It's a pity that he only found out Zhou Dui's intentions after half a month. Presumably, Zhou Du had a comprehensive plan before he came to Suzhou, and even sent someone to sneak into Rong's house on the night he arrived in Suzhou, purely to startle the snake.
And Zhou Dui's purpose is to focus everyone's eyes on him, and everyone, including him, falls into Zhou Dui's trap.
"This king has to go to Wuxi in person." Zhou Xing said in a deep voice.
If Jian Junyi gets the evidence, even if he kills Jian Junyi, he can't let the evidence fall into Zhou Dui's hands.
Soho also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Zhou Xing: "You stay in Suzhou!" ”
Su Ho also knew that Zhou Xing was going to do business, and she would only drag her feet with the past, so she obediently stopped and advised: "Your Highness pays attention to safety, and puts your own safety first in everything." ”
Zhou Xing didn't have time to pay attention to Soho, so he asked Zhao De to make a little preparation, and hurriedly left Jiangfu.
After Zhou Xing lived in Jiangfu, it was not so easy for Zhou Du to master Zhou Xing's actions. When he received the news that Zhou Xing had left Jiangfu, he knew what Zhou Xing had noticed.
Soon news came, Zhou Xing went to the city gate of Suzhou.
If there is no accident, Zhou Xing is going to Wuxi.
Although he sent secret guards to protect Jian Junyi, with Zhou Xing's forces, he really had to do his best, and those secret guards might not be able to protect Jian Junyi.
Only he went to Wuxi in person, Xiyan was guilty of following the past, and let her be alone in the Jiang family, but he was not at ease.
Everyone knows that Xiyan is his weakness, and he doesn't want to leave her side and give others a chance to attack her.
Gu Xiyan actually heard the conversation between Zhou Du and Qi Zhiyuan, and she also heard Qi Zhiyuan ask Zhou Du if he wanted to go to Wuxi.
Although Zhou Dui's expression looked the same as usual, she knew that she was the one who made Zhou Du hesitate.
This time they came to Suzhou to investigate the case, how could she drag Zhou Dui's hind legs?
"Childe go to Wuxi, I'll stay in Suzhou and wait for Childe to come back." Gu Xiyan said to Zhou Dui.
Zhou Du frowned when he heard this: "I don't worry about leaving you alone in Suzhou." ”
Gu Xiyan thought for a while: "Then I'll go to Wuxi with my son?" (End of chapter)
