Transcendent Ember

Chapter 494 Yi An's Origin

Fengtian Palace, the imperial palace of the Xinhua Dynasty.

In the spacious and bright office, Yi Zhen, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, paced back and forth uneasily. The eyes of this frail and timid emperor showed deep anxiety.

"Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry." An official persuaded, but was interrupted by Yi Zhen before he finished speaking.

"Why are you not in a hurry?" Yi Zhen was a little irritable, "My own brother, a person who has been dead for six years, why did his head suddenly appear on the Phoenix Tower? Can anyone explain it to me?"

"This"

The officials in the office looked at me and I looked at you, and no one knew how to explain such a paradox.And it's related to the royal family members, even if there is speculation, it's not easy to talk nonsense until there are no conclusive clues.

The silence of the officials made Yi Zhen even more irritable: "What's the use of you, why hasn't the commander-in-chief come back? How long has he been gone?"

As soon as the words fell, a voice sounded from outside the office: "The minister is back, Your Majesty, I kept you waiting for a long time."

As he said that, a middle-aged man in military uniform with a dignified complexion and a powerful imposing manner walked into the office and bowed slightly to Yi Zhen.

The person who came was none other than Lord Wu An of the Xinhua Dynasty, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Xiao Wei.

He is also the only person in the Xinhua Dynasty who has been granted the title of Duke by virtue of his military exploits in the past hundred years.

"Excuse me, excuse me." Yi Zhen's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward and said, "Commander, what's the matter? The head hanging on the Phoenix Tower is my younger brother?"

"Return to Your Majesty." Xiao Wei said with a respectful expression, "I checked it myself, and the one hanging on the Phoenix Tower is indeed the head of His Majesty's younger brother, Prince Yi'an."

Hearing this, Yi Zhen's pupils shrank, the blood on his face faded away, and he stepped back a few steps, showing a frightened expression.

He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly, another voice sounded:
"impossible!"

Outside the office, a group of people came, the head of the Congress was 'Gu Quan', and he was the one who spoke.

Gu Quan asked for instructions at the door of the office, and after obtaining Yi Zhen's consent, he led a group of officials into the office, looked at Xiao Wei and said, "Commander Xiao, you are also the one who witnessed what happened six years ago, Yi An Your Highness died six years ago, this is something you and I have personally witnessed and confirmed."

"I know." Xiao Wei nodded slightly, "Your Excellency, Your Majesty, why don't you remember. But... the head that was hung in the Phoenix Building today is indeed His Highness Yi An. Now the head is in the office next door, Your Excellency If you don’t believe me, let someone send it in for you to check it now.”

"No, don't bring it in." Yi Zhen said first, with a trace of fear involuntarily showing on his face.

Gu Quan frowned, and gestured to an official behind him, and the official immediately turned back and left the office, went to the next door and checked with Xiao Wei's subordinates to confirm the head brought by the other party.

A few minutes later, the official went back and forth, with a puzzled expression on his face: "Your Majesty, Your Excellency General, everyone, the head brought by Commander Xiao is indeed exactly the same as that of His Royal Highness Yi An."

Gu Quan was astonished, and all officials were in an uproar.

The head of a person who had been confirmed dead six years ago actually appeared on a landmark building in Fengcheng. This incident is full of paradox.

"Masters, could it be?" Yi Zhen asked anxiously, "Could it be that someone robbed the emperor's tomb and cut off his head from the corpse?"

"Impossible." Xiao Wei categorically vetoed it. As the highest-level existence present, he has absolute authority in this regard, "Your Majesty, everyone, although extraordinary creatures have strong physiques, their corpses will still rot after death. The corpses of creatures can be preserved for a long time, and the corpses of lower third-rank and middle third-rank extraordinary creatures are absolutely impossible to preserve for more than three years under natural conditions.

"As for His Highness Yi An's strength, everyone knows that it is only second rank."

Xiao Wei's words made everyone ponder.

"Then there are only two possibilities." An official said, "First, the head is not His Highness Yi An, but a person who looks very similar to His Highness Yi An; Die, he just used some kind of cover-up to deceive everyone including Commander Xiao!"

"No matter what the possibility is, there is one thing that can be confirmed." Gu Quan said in a deep voice, "Someone hangs this human head in the Phoenix Building, there must be some ulterior motive. Your Majesty, there are already rumors on the Internet. Four times, I implore Your Majesty to order that Fengcheng Governor Yang Zheng and Fengcheng Chief Prosecutor 'Tuchalan' investigate this case."

"Yes." Yi Zhen nodded and said, "According to what Gu Qing said, let Yang Qing and Tucha Lanqing solve the case as soon as possible."

The officials bowed: "Yes!"

"Mr. Siliang, your idea really has immediate results." In a cheap fast hotel in Fengcheng, where Zhang Jichuan and others gathered together, Ms. Bai Ye complained, "But this 'shadow' is too dark, why is it a six Yi An, who died years ago?"

Ferna was also a little surprised, and said: "And the most important thing is that Yi An died six years ago, and Xu Yan's rebellion happened five years ago, how could they have contact?"

"Obviously, this Yi An is a fake death." Qiu Wen analyzed, "And it seems that Xu Yan's rebellion was promoted and characterized by the people behind Yi An. So when Mr. Hei Crow wiped out the Xieyue Bandits After Viscount Xue Chong left, the people behind Yi An couldn't sit still, and sent him to Xu County to wait for the rabbit."

"Yes." Zhang Jichuan nodded, expressing his approval, "From what Yi An said before he started, Ms. Qiuwen's reasoning can also be proved."

"Then here comes the problem." The black crow looked serious, "Yi An is a member of the royal family, the younger brother of the current emperor, and the youngest son of the previous emperor. He has a noble status. Who can deserve him to fake his death out of everyone's sight? Who is it?" Can it make him willing to go to Xu County to be a killer waiting for a rabbit?"

Without even thinking about it, Zhang Jichuan said, "If you want to say that, then only His Majesty the Emperor of the Xinhua Dynasty is the only one."

Yi Zhen Heiya frowned.

"No way?" Ferna retorted, "Isn't everyone saying that Yi Zhen is a frail, timid, fearful emperor who doesn't have much opinion?"

"Who knows if the rumors are true." Zhang Jichuan shrugged and said, "Someone told me that the emperor of Gu Yue Kingdom is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger."

"Ah? Is there such a thing?" Qiu Wen was stunned.

Ms. Bai Ye also looked at Zhang Jichuan in surprise.

Zhang Jichuan said: "Anyway, a very reliable person told me so. As for whether it is true or not, I don't know. Off topic, off topic, let's talk about Yizhen, who can guarantee the rumored That person is the real Yi Zhen?"

"It's really hard to prove." Black Crow was very embarrassed, "Anyway, everyone has said this, which means that Yi Zhen must have behaved like this. As for whether it is true or not, it is also difficult for us to confirm."

"Yes." Ferna nodded, "There are so many masters in the palace of the Xinhua Dynasty, and there are no less than thirty fifth-rank extraordinary, and it is said that there are sixth-rank extraordinary like Xiong Jiuxiao. I dare not trespass. "

"Forget it, don't talk about Yi Zhen, let's talk about Yi An." Zhang Jichuan said, "Can any of you introduce this Yi An to me, and what kind of person he is?"

"I'll do it." Black Crow looked at the information found on the phone and said, "This Yi An is the prince born to the former emperor Yi Yun in his later years. He had a son in his later years. Yi Yun loved him very much.

"For more than ten years, relying on Yi Yun's favor, Yi An often caused troubles, but they were all small troubles, and never committed major disasters.

"Six years ago, when Yi Yun died of illness, a battle for the throne broke out in Fengcheng, which involved many people. Except for Xu Yan of the Eastern Frontier Army who stood still, almost all the officials and nobles of the Xinhua Dynasty got involved.

"Yi An jumped up and down in it, resolutely supporting Yi Zhen, the elder brother, and provoked the hatred of several other competitors. In a bloody conflict, Yi An was killed on the spot by another prince's subordinates. People who witnessed this incident Quite a lot, so when Yi An's head appeared in the Phoenix Tower, it caused an uproar on the Internet."

The more Ms. Bai Ye listened, the more puzzled she became: "In other words, Yi An was killed in public. Then his ability to fake death must be very outstanding, otherwise it would be impossible to deceive so many people."

"It's also possible that a very high-ranking person used illusion or other abilities to help him create a fake death phenomenon, so other people present couldn't tell the difference." Zhang Jichuan added.

"Then here comes the question." Firna looked at the crowd and asked, "Why did Yi Zhen fake his death?"

Everyone was silent for a while, this question can be described as the biggest mystery.

"If you solve this problem, maybe you can know why Xu Yan was classified as a traitor." Qiu Wen said in a deep voice.

"Then" Ferna tilted her head, "How to untie it?"

"I have a clue about this." Zhang Jichuan raised his hand and said, "According to the news on the Internet, the official spokesperson of the Xinhua Dynasty said that Yi Zhen has ordered Fengcheng Governor Yang Zheng and Fengcheng Chief Prosecutor Tucharan to investigate why Yi An's head was killed. Appearing in the Phoenix Tower, I believe that the people behind Yi An will definitely send people to investigate. So."

"That's why we need to distinguish clearly who are Yang Zheng and Tucharan's people, and who are the people behind the scenes." The black crow's eyes lit up, and he continued, "Then follow the clues to find out the people behind the scenes."

"That's right." Zhang Jichuan nodded, and then he asked a little worriedly, "Ms. Bai Ye, when you went to hang the head, didn't you leave any clues?"

"Don't worry, when I went, I used the 'Hades' helmet' and the power of the night, double insurance, I promise not to leave any clues for them." Ms. Baiye said confidently.

"That's good." Zhang Jichuan smiled, "In this way, we will patiently wait for the people behind the scenes to act."
