Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 459: Death of Zhang Zhe
"Will you handle it? How do you want to handle it? How can you handle it? Xie Wei, I have to remind you that you have a mission."

"Although Gong Yicheng is dead, the prince is still alive. Do you think you can still go back alive if you ruin the prince's plan?" Lu Xian said
"I told you, don't worry about these, I will handle them myself!" Xie Wei said coldly
After hearing this, Lu Xian wanted to say something, but was pulled out by Jianshu. Seeing this, Daoqin naturally followed him out. After they left, Xie Wei went completely crazy.

Listening to the sound of things breaking inside, Lu Xian asked directly, "I say, what happened during the days I was away? What is wrong with Xie Ju'an?"

"Master Lu, I don't know what happened exactly. I only know that Miss Jiang came to visit a few days ago, and since then, Master Lu has been in a bad mood for the past few days." Dao Qin said
"Huh? Jiang Xue Ning was here? No wonder? It turns out they were having a quarrel, but it's not like they haven't had this before, why is there such a big reaction this time?"

"And she's so crazy this time that she even wants to kill Cao Cheng. No, I have to leave first. I'm worried about her. I'll go and ask around."

"You guys keep an eye on him and don't let him do anything rash. Wait until I come back. Remember, you must wait until I come back." After saying this, Lu Xian turned around and left.

When Cao Cheng returned home, he found that Jiang Xuening had already left and the servants in the yard had also been dealt with. It could be said that he had no worries at all.

"Xuehui, you look like you have a lot of things to ask me, right? You can ask me now. I will tell you everything I can." Cao Cheng said with a smile

"My Lord, I, I want to know why Xue Ning did this?" Jiang Xuehui said

"Xuehui, I guessed you would ask this. I didn't intend to tell you, but if I didn't tell you, I guess you wouldn't be willing."

"In fact, the source of this matter is a man named Zhang Zha. Xue Ning came to see me a few days ago. I went out early this morning to do this." Cao Cheng said directly
"Is that so? Then, I wonder if you, Lord Marquis, have ever?" Jiang Xuehui asked

"This is what I'm going to tell you next. My godfather is the kind of person who will never give up until he achieves his goal, so he didn't intend to give up before."

"Even when I went there, he had already made arrangements for the next time. Although I told my godfather about this matter, I couldn't say for sure what he would do."

"I came here just to tell you that if the last Zha is really destined to die, you must take good care of your sister. I don't want anything ugly to happen."

"If it really comes to that, don't blame me for being ruthless. I have done what I should do. As for the outcome, it all depends on his luck. You are a smart person and you should understand what I mean."

"Okay, you were exhausted last night, so have a good rest. I'll be leaving first." Cao Cheng said directly
After saying that, Cao Cheng stood up and left. Jiang Xuehui looked at his departing back and had a vague feeling in her heart that Zhang Zha seemed to be dead.

Based on his understanding of his own marquis, he is not the kind of person who would allow his woman to have someone else in her heart. Xue Ning is really desperate and is trying every possible means to cure her illness.

Originally there might still be a chance to survive, but now, Zhang Zha is definitely dead. I hope he doesn't do anything stupid when the time comes, otherwise the whole family will be in trouble.

At this time, Lu Xian had already found You Fangyin and asked about Jiang Xuening.

"Why are you asking about the second young lady? You should know that I will not betray the second young lady. If you have nothing else to do, go back." You Fangyin said in a deep voice.

"I say, do you have to be so heartless? I have helped you many times before, so please help me this time. If you don't help, there will be a big mess!" Lu Xian said hurriedly.

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I really don't know. Master Lu, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. Please go back. By the way, if you really want to know something, you might as well keep an eye on Lord Zhang Zha."

"You may find the answer there." You Fangyin finally said it.

After hearing this, Lu Xian suddenly realized, yes, Zhang Zha, how could he have forgotten him? Jiang Xuening had always had a good impression of him.

But that wasn't right. Even if Xie Wei was jealous, he should be jealous of Zhang Zha. Why would he suddenly want to kill Cao Cheng? Thinking of this, he was confused again.

But fortunately, now that he knew about Zhang Zha, he was not completely clueless about what to do next. Thinking of this, he cheered up again and quickly returned to Xie Wei's residence.

However, he did not go to find Xie Wei, but went to meet Zhang Zha next door. That's right, after Xie Wei rescued Zhang Zha, he directly placed him in the house next to his own.

"Mr. Lu, I wonder what brings you here this time?" Zhang Zha asked as soon as they met.
"Sir Zhang, I came to you this time because I have something to ask you. I hope you can give me some advice." Lu Xian did not bother to be polite and chose to go straight to the point.

After hearing this, Zhang Zha looked at Lu Xian's condition and knew that something must have happened, so he nodded and said, "Master Lu, please speak. I will tell you everything I know."

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, let me ask you, do you know how the second young lady of the Jiang family feels about you? What do you think of her?" Lu Xian asked directly

"Hmm? Master Lu, this question doesn't seem to be a big deal, right? And since it concerns the reputation of a girl, I'm sorry I can't answer it." Zhang Zha said directly
"Master Zhang, I am not kidding you. I am asking you seriously what you think. I cannot tell you what is happening now."

"I can only tell you that if you don't tell her, Miss Jiang will be in danger. Xie Wei will go crazy. If he goes crazy, none of us can persuade him." Lu Xian said
After hearing this, Zhang Zha did not speak for a while. Lu Xian also knew that now was not the time to rush him, so he could only wait.

It was unknown how long it had been, but just when Lu Xian was getting impatient, Zhang Zha finally spoke up, "Master Lu, I do know how Miss Jiang feels about me."

"But Miss Jiang is of noble status, and my mother has passed away. I really have no intention of getting married. I am afraid that I will only disappoint Miss Jiang's kindness."

"Master Zhang, let me ask you, if I let you see Miss Jiang again, can you tell her what you just said to me?" Lu Xian asked back immediately.
Zhang Zha was stunned after hearing this. After a long while, he said, "If you really need it, I can do it." After hearing this, Lu Xian stared at Zhang Zha. Zhang Zha did not dodge his gaze at all. After a long while, Lu Xian said, "Okay, then I hope you, Mr. Zhang, remember what you said today."

After saying this, Lu Xian stood up and left. After he left, Zhang Zha sat there thoughtfully, no one knew what he was thinking about.

After Lu Xian came out of Zhang Zha, he went straight back to Xie Wei's residence and then went directly into Xie Wei's study. As soon as he opened the door, he heard a roar, "Didn't I tell you not to disturb me?"

"Xie Ju'an, it's me. I have good news to tell you. I just went to find Zhang Zhe and asked him. He told me that he has no other thoughts about your Ning Er."

"You can finally rest assured now, right? I have to tell you, I spent a lot of effort to get this done. I tell you, you owe me a big favor this time." Lu Xian said with a smile

At this time, Lu Xian didn't notice at all that Xie Wei's complexion was getting worse and worse, and he was still talking to himself, which was enough for Xie Wei to smash the inkstone directly.

"Get out! Get out! Get out!" Xie Wei shouted at Lu Xian.
Lu Xian looked at Xie Wei in front of him and knew that he was really angry. He didn't dare to say a word and just stood up and ran, leaving the study in a very embarrassed manner.

After he left, Xie Wei's face became even worse. At this moment, Xie Wei fell into madness, and his anger, which had been suppressed, instantly increased.

There is no way, this matter is really too heartbreaking. Jiang Xuening, that fool, paid so much for Zhang Zha, but in the end he only got indifference.

What did she do? What did she do? What did she do? When he thought of this, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. He made up his mind to kill Cao Cheng.

Time passed slowly and soon it was the night of the third day. Xue Yuan once again arranged for people to enter Zhang Zha's temporary mansion, which was next to Xie Wei's mansion.

"Sir, Duke Dingguo can't help it anymore. Someone is coming from next door. What should we do now?" Dao Qin walked into the study and bowed.

"Hmm? Are they really here? It seems that I was right about Xue Yuan. We will not care this time and let them kill them. But this time, we must leave some alive after they finish killing them." Xie Wei said
"What? Sir, did I hear you correctly? Are you saying that we don't care anymore? This, this, this?" Dao Qin said
"Yes, you heard it right. We will not care about it this time. It is said that a thief will steal for a thousand days, but you can never be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. If this is the case, there is no need to care about him."

"It would be better to use his death to exchange for our chance to deal with the Xue family." Xie Wei said
After hearing this, Dao Qin knew that his master had made up his mind, so he turned around and left. After he left, Xie Wei's face was full of gloom.

Xie Wei's inaction almost ruined Zhang Zha's life. When Zhang Zha found that someone had entered the courtyard and no one was helping him, he vaguely guessed the reason.

But unfortunately, he never had the chance to confirm it, and he eventually died at the hands of the killers. Just as the killers were preparing to withdraw, they found that they could not leave.

The final result was that Zhang Zha died and Xie Wei captured the man alive as he wished. When he learned the news, he did not sleep all night and entered the palace at dawn.

"What did you say? Zhang Zhe died? How did he die?" Shen Lang asked in surprise.

"Your Majesty, he was killed by the assassin's knife. Because there was no movement, by the time I found out, the assassin had already succeeded. I could only have someone capture the assassin."

"What did you say? You have a live person? What did you find out from the interrogation?" Shen Lang asked.
"Your Majesty, after a night of interrogation by me, they confessed that it was the chief steward of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion who asked them to do it. As for other things, there is no more information." Xie Wei said
"Butler? What a great butler! Thank you, my dear minister. Bring me my order and bring that butler back to me. You can interrogate him in person and make sure you find out the whole story!" Shen Lang said in a deep voice.
After hearing this, Xie Wei naturally bowed hurriedly and then left the imperial study. After Xie Wei left, Shen Lang began to think about what to do at that time.

After all, there is actually no need to investigate further at this point. It must have been done by his uncle, but the difficulty of this matter lies in this. He can't just punish his uncle for such a small matter.

Xie Wei called up the imperial guards and headed straight for the Duke Dingguo's mansion. When they arrived, Xue Yuan slowly walked out and said, "Master Xie, what are you doing here with such fanfare?"

"Please forgive me, sir. Zhang Zha, the official of the Ministry of Justice, was assassinated last night. According to the captured assassins, they were instructed by your housekeeper, so I came to ask you to hand over the person." Xie Wei said
"Haha, Master Xie, looking at the imperial guards behind you, have you received the order from His Majesty? In that case, you can take the man away. However, he is still an old man in my house after all."

"We still have to be respectful. I don't want anything bad to happen." Xue Yuandao
After hearing this, Xie Wei naturally understood what Xue Yuan meant, so he nodded directly and asked someone to take the butler back.

"Father, are we just going to watch them take them away? What about our family?" Xue Ye couldn't help but ask after Xie Wei and his men left.
"Didn't you see that he was leading the imperial guards? He had the emperor's decree in his hand. The reason he didn't tell us was to save our face."

"Okay, this is none of your business. Go back and do your own thing." Xue Yuan said directly
After listening to his father's words, Xue Ye had no choice but to return to his own yard.

Soon the news of Zhang Zha's death spread, and Cao Cheng naturally knew about it too.

"What did you say? It was so easy to succeed? Xie Wei didn't even care about his life or death? Interesting, really interesting." Cao Cheng said with a smile

Then he stood up and asked someone to prepare the carriage to go out. At the same time, Jiang Xuening, who had paid a huge price, was dumbfounded.

"What did you say? Dead? How could he die? How did he die?" Jiang Xue Ning asked hurriedly after hearing this.
"Miss, the rumor has spread that Lord Zhang was assassinated. This morning, Master Xie led the imperial guards to Duke Dingguo's mansion and took away the housekeeper." said the maid.
"What? Xue family? Xue family? This is impossible, this is impossible, this is absolutely impossible. I want to find Cao Cheng. I want to find Cao Cheng. You go get the car ready. I want to find Cao Cheng!" Jiang Xuening said directly.

Soon the carriage was ready. Jiang Xuening got on it directly and then urged the coachman to ride as fast as possible to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.

When she arrived, she found out that Cao Cheng had gone out and had not returned yet.
