The reborn general girl is the emperor

Chapter 90
"Is there anyone who is suspicious?"

Meng Shulan asked Yan Qing.

Yan Qing shook her head. After that incident, she actually did a lot of research.

But this person is extremely cautious in doing things, without leaving any clues. If Yan Qing hadn't been reborn and knew something foresight, otherwise he would never have noticed that there was another black hand after this!
As for the purpose of this person, it is even more unclear.

However, there is indeed a strange place...

"The clue was broken on the court lady who spilled tea that night."

Yan Qing said, "The strange thing is that after the empress had already ordered this person to be dealt with, she secretly sent someone to silence him."

Hearing this, Meng Shulan frowned suddenly.

When Yan Qing mentioned the queen, Meng Shulan immediately thought of Xu Xiangfeng.

But this is not unreasonable.

Even Wen Zhemao knew that if he could keep Ah Qing and work hard for him, it would definitely increase his chances of winning. It is impossible for this old fellow Xu Xiangfeng not to know.

What's more, at that time, he was only governing Xijiang on his behalf, and the power of Xijiang was actually still in the hands of the Yan family.

If Ah Qing returns to Xijiang to gain the support of those older generations in Xijiang, it is unlikely that he will become Marquis of Zhenxi, but he will definitely be able to sit on the position of Marshal of Xijiang.

At that time, Wen Zhemao's power was even greater, which would undoubtedly create a huge obstacle for Wen Zhehan's ascension to the emperor!
As the leader of the Duan Wang Party, once Wen Zhemao ascended the throne, Xu Xiangfeng would be the first to be punished.

He shouldn't be such a stupid person.

Countless thoughts flashed through Meng Shulan's mind, and she suddenly remembered a sentence the emperor said.

He said: "If it weren't for the fear of a historian's pen, the Xu family might have replaced the Wen family long ago."

A bold guess suddenly took shape in Meng Shulan's mind.

Perhaps, Xu Xiangfeng didn't support Wen Zhehan from the beginning?
Wen Zhemao is not benevolent by nature, if he becomes emperor, how will the people of this country be different from those under the previous tyrant?

Back then, the five families were able to join forces to overthrow the previous dynasty, but now he has Xu Xiangfeng's holy name, except for the tyrant, so what?
Meng Shulan was taken aback by her conjecture, but immediately felt that it was impossible.

If Xu Xiangfeng wanted to be emperor, he would naturally have no heirs left in the Wen family except Wen Zhemao, a possible tyrant.

But Xu Xiangfeng only has one daughter, the queen, and the queen has only one son, Wen Zhehan.

It can be said that Wen Zhehan is the only inheritance in Xu Xiangfeng's lineage.

Will Xu Xiangfeng be willing to do something to Wen Zhehan?

That is the grandson he watched growing up, the grandson who taught the emperor how to govern the world since he was a child.

It is no exaggeration to say that the person who has been with Wen Zhehan the longest is Xu Xiangfeng, and the person Wen Zhehan trusts the most is Xu Xiangfeng.

Whether it is from the inheritance of incense, or from the affection of grandparents and grandchildren, it is impossible for Xu Xiangfeng to start with Wen Zhehan.

Thinking about it this way, things seem to be back to the original point.

While Meng Shulan was thinking hard, Yan Qing suddenly thought of someone: "Perhaps, that person may know who is behind this."

Meng Shulan's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Who?"

However, Yan Qing was a little hesitant. Looking at the expectation in Meng Shulan's eyes, he poured cold water on him first: "Don't have too much hope, the probability of this matter is not very high, and he may not be willing to say it."

"Regardless of whether we can get clues or not, since it is possible, we should try."

Meng Shulan said so.

Although she didn't know who Yan Qing was talking about, Meng Shulan had a feeling that if the person behind the scenes was not caught, something big would happen in the future.

Therefore, even if the person Yan Qing said was a fortune-teller charlatan, he also thought he could give it a try.

Even if he doesn't believe it, there will naturally be people in the court who will believe it. A little preparation can also be a good excuse to interrogate the officials in the court.

Although this will scare the snake out of the grass, but for this kind of deep-hiding poisonous snake, it is only possible to catch some clues if it disturbs the grass and forces him to have nowhere to hide.

However, Meng Shulan thought this way, but she didn't expect that the person Yan Qing mentioned actually made her guess right.

Yan Qingdao: "This person was originally an alchemist under Wen Zhemao's subordinates, and now he is being held in the sky prison. Because he was Wen Zhemao's confidant, the Ministry of Criminal Justice wanted to extract Wen Zhemao's whereabouts from him, so he delayed his death. People do have some skills, if he is willing to help, maybe he can really know something."

Hearing that this person turned out to be Wen Zhemao's confidant, Meng Shulan's expression sank again: "The Ministry of Criminal Justice has detained him for so long, but they haven't been able to get any information about Wen Zhemao from him. It can be seen that he is strict. He can really pinch Will you count, will you speak to us?"

Yan Qing was silent.

Si Zhan would definitely not betray Wen Zhemao, Yan Qing already knew this when Si Zhan knew Wen Zhemao was going to take his life but went to die in the previous life.

It's just that Si Zhemao's loyalty to Wen Zhemao came out of nowhere, so Wen Zhemao didn't believe in Si Zhemao's loyalty from the beginning to the end.

To Wen Zhemao, Si Xun was more like a charlatan for his entertainment. If Si Xun hadn't really had some skills, Wen Zhemao would have taken Si Xun's life the first time Si Xun spoke rudely to him.

Regarding this point, Si Yan is very clear, but he is still loyal to Wen Zhemao.

Si Xun is undoubtedly a weirdo, a weirdo that people can't figure out.

It is precisely because of his eccentric temperament that people are unpredictable, so Yan Qing feels that if Si Zhan really knows the people behind the scenes, he will definitely not hide it from them.

In fact, to a certain extent, the existence of this person behind the scenes also threatened Wen Zhemao.

With Si Jian's inexplicable loyalty to Wen Zhemao, he will definitely not cover up for this person.

It's just that she couldn't tell Meng Shulan about these things.

In this life, she is not familiar with Si Yan, if she speaks in too much detail, it will definitely arouse Meng Shulan's speculation.

He has always been careful.

Yan Qing weighed his words, and then said: "This person has not uttered any news about Wen Zhemao until now, so it can be seen that he is loyal to Wen Zhemao. And no matter what the purpose of this person is, he will definitely not be a person who is good for Wen Zhemao. Said Maybe, we can really get some clues from him."

Meng Shulan frowned and thought for a moment, and felt that there was really no other clue at the moment, so it would be no harm to try.

Besides, they don't necessarily need to know the exact result. As long as they can disturb the muddy water and disrupt the calculations of the people behind the scenes, they will naturally force him to show his flaws.

And if this news came out from Wen Zhemao's confidants, no matter it was true or not, it would be more labor-saving to investigate the reasons for the anti-king's party to stir up the muddy water.

Thinking of this, Meng Shulan said, "You can try."

After finishing speaking, the two left the barracks and returned to Beijing, went straight to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to obtain the interrogation order, and when they were about to go to the prison to interrogate Si Yan, someone came from the palace.
