Princess of the auxiliary country

"I will have people investigate this matter carefully."

"If they are really those guys, I will definitely give Zhao De an explanation."

Hearing this, Huo Jingzhi bowed his hands and thanked him, and then continued, "I still need to go outside the city to investigate."

"Well, you go."

After Huo Jingzhi exited the imperial study, Emperor Zhaowu immediately asked Gao Fu to find someone to investigate the situation secretly.

Huo Jingzhi first returned to the eldest princess's mansion to visit Huo Junyao. After hearing that a traitor had appeared in the Hot Spring Villa, his face became extremely ugly.

When he learned that Princess Ningyang was being interrogated, he couldn't sit still. After telling Huo Junyao that Fang Zhilan and Qingyang should accompany Huo Junyao, he went to find Princess Ningyang.

At this time, Princess Ningyang had already asked everyone one by one.

The results she got were not very satisfactory to her.

These people are very honest, and they have explained everything that should be explained and should not be explained.

Although there were some things that made her dissatisfied, it didn't sound like they had much to do with this incident.

After Huo Jingzhi learned about it, his brows also knitted together.

"I'm going to go outside the city."

Since there are no clues here, let's go outside the city and take a look.

Outside the city, after Hongxiu comforted the families of the fallen guards, he also began to investigate the recent circumstances of the dead traitors.

This investigation really allowed her to find some clues.

Among the six people who died, several had recently had some contact with people outside, and a large amount of money was found in the rooms of these people.

Following this clue, Hongxiu immediately arranged for people to conduct an in-depth investigation.

After Huo Jingzhi came over, Hongxiu directly reported the situation he had investigated. After listening, Huo Jingzhi nodded and said, "This matter will be left to my father-in-law. You can handle the affairs of the villa properly. "

"Remember not to treat the families of those fallen guards badly."

Hong Xiu nodded.

This time what happened to the young lady, I'm afraid she won't be able to come back for a while. There are a lot of people in the villa now.

But we can't stop running because of this.

Over the next few days, Huo Jingzhi took over the investigation and got results.

At the same time, Gao Fu also reported his investigation results to Emperor Zhaowu.

But the moment he saw this result, Emperor Zhaowu's face was very ugly. This result was something he had never expected.

"Confirmed?"

"Yes, this is the result of Lao Nu's investigation. Moreover, Ji Guogong is also investigating recently. I believe he already knows the result."

After hearing this, Emperor Zhaowu fell silent, holding the fold given by Gao Fu in his hand, speechless for a long time.

He thought about many people, but he never expected that the person behind this would actually be...

Just then, a little waiter walked in from outside.

"Your Majesty, Duke Ji wants to see you."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhaowu was silent for a moment and said, "Let him come in."

Soon Duke Ji entered the imperial study. Seeing him, Emperor Zhaowu felt a headache at this time.

"Jingzhi, do you already know?"

Hearing this, Huo Jingzhi nodded and said, "I understand."

"So what are you going to do?"

When Emperor Zhaowu asked this question, his expression was extremely complicated. In fact, he already had the answer in his heart.

Huo Jingzhi already had an attitude if he could come over at this time.

But he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"Blood debt must be paid with blood." Sure enough, Huo Jingzhi's answer was exactly what he thought.

This made Emperor Zhaowu not know what to say for a moment. To be honest, he really didn't want to see such a development.

"Respect."

"Your Majesty, I know what you want to say, but this matter cannot be handled this way. Yaoyao has suffered enough injustices since she returned to Beijing, and this time she almost lost her life. This is what I must do as a father. Give her an explanation."

"Otherwise, how can I be a father?"

After hearing his words, Emperor Zhaowu fell silent, and he couldn't say anything he wanted to say to persuade him to make peace.

As he said, Huo Junyao has suffered enough grievances since she returned to Beijing. It is impossible for her to swallow her anger every time, right?

What's more, he almost lost his life this time.

"But if you do this, Duke Ji's mansion will be in danger, and even I may not be able to protect you then."

"Then I must do it too."

Seeing his resolute attitude, Emperor Zhaowu didn't say anything more.

He waved his hand feebly, acquiescing.

After Huo Jingzhi stepped back, he turned to Gao Fu and said, "Go and ask Shen Huan to come see me."

At this moment, his voice revealed this coldness.

The results of Gao Fu's investigation just now point to the Guanzhong Group, and Shen Huan, as the leader of the Guanzhong Group, the answer to why this is so is self-evident.

Huo Junyao had no quarrel with the Guanzhong Group. The only explanation for why they killed her so painfully was the reform.

As one of the insiders, Shen Huan, it is self-evident how this news came out.

At this moment, Emperor Zhaowu was very angry.

He trusted Shen Huan so much and hoped to get Shen Huan's support, but what was the result?

Shen Huan actually did this to him. Why, is the future of the Yu Dynasty not as important as the interests of your Guanzhong Group?

Soon Shen Huan came to the imperial study room.

"Do you know about the attack on Princess Zhaode?"

Hearing this, Shen Huan raised his hands and replied, "I heard about it, but I don't know who is so bold to do such a thing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Zhaowu suddenly slapped the table and shouted angrily, "You don't know who it is? I can see you very clearly."

Shen Huan was startled at first, and then he bowed down in fear, "I don't understand what the emperor means by this."

"You don't understand? Then go and ask the people below you if they understand."

At this point, Shen Huan didn't understand what Emperor Zhaowu meant by his words. His face suddenly turned pale and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty."

Shen Huan had already knelt down, and then continued: "Your Majesty, you must believe me, I will never do such a thing."

"Yes, I have revealed some things about the reform, but I hope they can be prepared so that they can stand up and support the emperor. I have absolutely no intention of letting them mess around."

Listening to his explanation, Emperor Zhaowu was silent for a while.

My mind was spinning, and I felt that I was a little angry with you just now.

As his uncle, Shen Huan has always supported him along the way. Although he may have some selfish motives, he has always firmly supported him in matters of right and wrong.

Thinking of this, he softened his tone slightly and said, "What's the use of my belief? Will Jingzhi believe it?"

"He has already arrived just now. His meaning is very simple. Blood debt must be paid with blood. Tell me, what should we do about this matter?"

At this time, Shen Huan was furious in his heart, and he never expected that this incident would actually burn him.

Two days ago, he was chatting with the prince and guessing who would attack Princess Zhaode.
