Shengshichun

Chapter 312 went so well! (Ask for monthly ticket)
There was a lot of commotion in Prince Rong's Mansion, but the Zhang family was not much better. Even though the emperor did not explicitly ask questions when he sent someone to deliver the oral message, he couldn't bear their guilty conscience. Prince Rong's Mansion was called into the palace to question them. There are many possibilities, but if Zhang Shicheng is sent to the palace together, there can only be one thing!

Over the years, King Rong has shown favoritism to Zhang Shicheng in every possible way, and he has never even considered Princess Rong. All these signs indicate that the case in Baiyu Hutong was indeed very important to King Rong!

Even if Zhang Shicheng didn't know who Yang Zhan killed, when the incident happened, the emperor began to directly question the crime. There was no way the crime could be taken lightly!

Everyone in the Zhang family was as frightened as if they were mourning for a heir, but they couldn't show it on their faces, so people took advantage of it first.

Zhang Shicheng had just left the house, but the news had already reached the East Palace. Jinbao's legs were sore from walking back and forth delivering the news. Seeing that the eunuchs who were delivering the message to the prince were impatient, he could only go into the palace to urge him. :
"There can be no further delay at Qianqing Palace. Your Highness should go there."

The prince, who had been pacing back and forth in the hall many times, stopped and asked, "How is it going at Prince Rong's Mansion? What's going on with Xu Yin? Is there no news about them coming in?"

"Shilang Xu is already on the way, and he delayed for a while before going out. Zhang Shicheng has already arrived at the palace. People from Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate have already arrived, but there is only no news of departure from Prince Rong's Palace.

"The tug-of-war is still going on over there. Liang Zhi and the others are tightly guarded and can't get any information. But for some reason, even after so long, they haven't brought anyone out yet."

The prince looked out the window and remained silent.

Jin Bao stepped forward: "The emperor's actions were too fast, almost catching people off guard. It seems that Pei Zhan and the others must have mastered a lot of evidence, but they just don't know whether Shi Lang Xu is unable to do his job effectively?

"If he is smart enough and ruthless enough, he will still have time. As long as Prince Rong and his son are dead, even if it can be proven that it was His Highness who died in Baiyu Alley, no one can prove that His Highness is related to the case."

"But you don't know what evidence Pei Zhan has!" The prince slapped his palm on the table next to him, "You don't know what King Rong left behind! Since he wanted to save his life, he must be There is evidence that can prove me!"

Jinbao fell silent when he heard this. Then he said: "Then what are your orders, Your Highness? I will obey the order and do it, even if I die!"

A sharp light suddenly appeared in the prince's eyes, and he pursed his lips.

At this time, the door said, "Concubine Li has arrived." The prince turned and looked at the door. The beautiful concubine stepped into the threshold. After meeting the prince's eyes, she immediately bowed her knees and saluted, and then walked in quickly.

"Your Highness, what happened? Why did the Qianqing Palace suddenly want to interrogate Prince Rong? And why did the two brothers just receive your order from Your Highness?"

"No big deal."

The prince took a deep breath and clasped his hands, "It's just a small setback. According to what I taught you before, you just need to take the guards to guard the East Palace. Especially protect the grandson, and make no mistakes!"

Concubine Li paused and immediately leaned over: "I obey your orders!"

The prince looked at the threshold and said: "I am going to Qianqing Palace now. After I go out, tell your two brothers that you must obey Jinbao's instructions in everything!"

Having said this, he glanced over and said, "Do you understand what I mean?"

Concubine Li raised her head and said with deep eyes, "I understand that except for Jin Bao and His Highness who speaks personally, no one else's words can count!"

The prince nodded slightly and straightened his clothes: "The three fresh soups made in the imperial kitchen by Qian'er are good. Go and cook the soup and wait for me to come back."

After saying that, he stepped through the door and strode towards the direction of Qianqing Palace.

When the prince walked out of the East Palace, Xu Yin happened to have already entered the palace gate.

Compared with the length of the prince's delay, Xu Yin's delay in the mansion was not that long.

Because the emperor's first summons did not include him, by the time the summons arrived at Xu's house, he had already sent Lian Ran and Xu Lian to Prince Rong's Mansion.

Since the emperor has interrogated Prince Rong and wants to investigate the murder case in Baiyu Hutong, the death of Princess Rong will definitely not be avoided. When it comes to this paragraph, how can he be bypassed as a murderer?

So when he heard that Liang Zhi and the others were going to Prince Rong's Mansion, Xu Yin worked hard to plan countermeasures in advance.

At present, Prince Rong and his son are surrounded by Liang Zhi and the others. It is almost impossible for anyone to enter where Prince Rong is. However, Xu Lian is a five-year-old child. There is half a chance that Liang Zhi and the others will not stop him from meeting Rong Zhi. king.

If there is no other way, Xu Yin is worth fighting for half of the possibility.

So he gave two pills to Xu Lian.

Thanks to Yongping, this child has been instilled in his mother the idea that his father is very powerful since he was a child. Even though Xu Yin has personally educated the child only a handful of times, Xu Lian is still looking forward to the opportunity to get close to him.

Xu Lian always obeyed Xu Yin's words, so Xu Yin was confident that as long as Xu Lian could reach King Rong, it would not be a problem for him to follow his orders and secretly drug King Rong.

No one would doubt a child!
What's more, even if he is suspicious, Xu Lian doesn't know anything!
He wouldn't know that they were two poisons, not to mention that before anyone caught him, Lianyun would have Xu Lian taken away in advance!
Prince Rong and his son died of poisoning, which will only make people think that they committed suicide out of fear of crime.

As for whether there are loopholes, and will the loopholes be discovered?
These are all things for later, aren’t they?
At this moment, he just needs to gain the prince's trust!

In the past six years, the prince had accumulated enough capital for himself to escape and survive. Pei Zhan had enough evidence to convict the prince. As long as the prince was unwilling to die, Xu Yin's goal would be achieved!
And why is the prince willing to die? !
When Xu Yin walked out of the house, he was as calm as usual.

And when Liancheng caught up with them and their eyes met, Xu Yin's expression became even more relaxed!

Everyone at the palace gate must dismount.

Xu Yin glanced at the eunuch, cupped his hands and said, "I have a few words to say to my steward, and I would like to ask my father-in-law for your convenience."

The eunuch said: "Your Majesty does not dare to delay. Mr. Xu, please move quickly."

Xu Yin thanked him and walked to the side with Lian Ruan.

Lian Ruan immediately took the time to tell the whole story: "...the process went smoothly, except that I felt a little uneasy when I saw Fu Zhen was present."

Xu Yin's expression also had some excitement: "Why her again? What is her connection with these things?"

At this point, she asked again: "After telling Liang Zhi to release him, did she really walk away?"

Lian Nuan nodded: "He did leave, and he left in a hurry. I asked about the young one when he came out, and he went to find Zhang."

Xu Yin frowned and muttered: "She is an unknown woman who suddenly appeared. No one knew about her before she met Pei Zhan. Maybe I am overthinking it! ... You should pay close attention to what is going on in Prince Rong's Mansion. , once the news comes out, immediately find a way to pass the news through the East Palace!"

"master!"

As soon as Xu Yin finished speaking, guards rushed towards him from a distance. When he got close, he abandoned his horse and strode to the front: "Something happened in Prince Rong's Mansion! News just came out that Prince Rong and his son took poison out of fear of crime!"

The two of them were both shocked and said repeatedly: "Is the news true?"

"Look!" The guard turned and pointed towards the way he came, "Liang Zhi's people have already rushed into the palace to report the news!"

Xu Yin took two steps forward, and sure enough he saw a few riders galloping down the street. They were actually Liang Zhi's guards! They arrived in front of the palace gate and quickly said to the soldiers guarding the city: "There is a sudden change in Prince Rong's palace. Prince Rong and his son are afraid of crime and have taken poison. Please enter the palace immediately to report to the emperor!"

Xu Yin's eyes suddenly opened and he couldn't hide his surprise: "Is it really so smooth?"

Lian Ruan stepped forward: "Didn't I guess that there was at least half a chance of success beforehand? It seems that I have won the half!" Xu Yin glanced at him and said nothing.

He said again and again: "Master, should we act as agreed?"

Xu Yin waved his hand: "Go."

Since there is only half a chance, of course, we need to be prepared in advance.

If Xu Lian didn't succeed and King Rong didn't die, then Xu Yin would naturally have a desperate plan.

Now that Xu Lian has succeeded and King Rong is dead, he can return to the crown prince.

In other words, he has been running the Great Zhou Dynasty for more than six years and is once again close to his goal. What's more, he is only a small step away from succeeding in his goal! …

There is no doubt that he has to repeatedly remind him whether to act as planned, after all, things have come to this point!
But now he was walking on the corridor to Qianqing Palace, but his heart was not as secure as he had imagined.

Why is this so?
He has done so much private business and deployment for so many years, and there has never been a time like this, where his feet feel as if they are treading in the mud.

There was a slender shadow in his mind, as if it was stuck and couldn't be brushed away. This shadow was obviously thinner than the healthy and agile Liang Ning, but every time he saw her, it reminded him of Liang Ning all the time.

Why did she happen to appear in Prince Rong's Mansion?

And why did it happen just when Xu Lian was rushing over?
Lian Rong said that she hurried out to look for Zhang, so she didn't bother to investigate Xu Lian's appearance.

Did she really not care?

She is Fu Zhen, or someone else, Xu Yin will believe this.

But if it were Liang Ning, she would never be so hasty. The more critical the moment, the more alert she would be. Otherwise, she would not have hidden the dagger so tightly when she picked it up...

"Shilang Xu, pay attention to the threshold."

The eunuch's reminder brought him back to his senses. He took a closer look and saw that after crossing this threshold, he was in the Qianqing Palace.

He couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart.

After so many years, it turns out that he still thinks of her so easily.

So what?

He can only keep his head down and move forward, can't he?
"His Royal Highness!"

After crossing the threshold, the eunuch's voice came from ahead.

Xu Yin looked over and saw the prince walking over from the opposite side!

"Your Highness!"

Xu Yin's heart skipped a beat, and he bowed his hands to the other side without moving his face, then looked over.

The prince, who was striding over, stopped in front of him with a very solemn expression. After taking a deep look, he said, "Shilang Xu moves so fast."

On the way here, he had already received the news that Prince Rong and his son took poison out of fear of crime!
This is the best news!
Unexpectedly, Xu Yin really succeeded!

Once this is done, at least half of his threats will be lifted!

Prince Rong and his son, the two living witnesses who were directly ordered by him, were dead. What use was the remaining Zhang Shicheng? He didn’t know that the person behind it was him!
So he even took longer steps to walk over. After seeing Xu Yin, I was very excited!

But now that everyone was watching, he didn't have a chance to talk to Xu Yinduo, so he could only convey the message with a pun like this!
Xu Yin's eyes were deep: "It's an important matter, how can a humble minister dare to neglect it? I wonder if His Highness is satisfied with the speed of this minister?"

The prince took a deep breath, glanced at the door of the palace and said, "Shilang Xu's work is really reassuring."

Xu Yin then handed over his hand and said, "Please take care of me, Your Highness."

The prince said: "Shilang Xu's talent is something that no one would be willing to give up."

Xu Yin bowed deeply, stretched out his hand and said: "Your Highness, please."

The prince's gaze deepened and he stepped through the door and entered.

Everyone who should be in the hall has already arrived.

The emperor and empress sat on both sides of the brocade couch, while Pei Zhan, Liang Chen, and people from Dali Temple and Duchayuan sat on the left and right of the main hall.

The eunuch who came to report the news that Prince Rong and his son took poison out of fear of crime stood below. Therefore, the faces of everyone in the palace showed shock...or anger.

The emperor banged the table: "How did Liang Zhi and the others do this? These two dignified generals couldn't even capture two helpless people!"

The news came too suddenly, and it was difficult for Pei Zhan and Liang Chen to deal with the accusations.

Liang Zhi and Du Mingqian are not young boys without any experience in dealing with the enemy. They have complained to this extent. When they went there, they should have been prepared for this trick by Prince Rong and his son. How could they not be prepared?
How could such a big basket come out?

The two looked at each other, and Liang Chen asked for orders: "Please allow me to go to Prince Rong's Mansion to find out what happened!"

The queen's face turned dark blue and she said nothing. The queen advised: "Liang Zhi and the others are at the scene. Maybe they discovered it quickly and it hasn't reached the point of irreversibility!
"How about asking Shaoyang to take two imperial doctors to hurry over and take a look!"

The emperor then gritted his teeth and waved his hand towards Liang Chen: "Go!"

Liang Chen left the scene and Zhang Shicheng, who had just been taken to him, immediately collapsed on the ground! Even his father Zhang Huan, who usually went to the palace every now and then to play chess and drink tea with the emperor, and received endless favors, his legs were weak at this moment and he fell to his knees on the ground!
"What are you afraid of?" The emperor looked at the ground. "What does the suicide of Prince Rong and his son in fear of crime have to do with you? Why are you so scared?"

Even if the emperor is already old, he has already accumulated prestige when he is about to conquer the world. How can Zhang Shicheng withstand such questions? He shivered even more, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Minister Xu are here."

"Pass in."

Following the words, the prince and Xu Yin walked in.

Zhang Shicheng became even more panicked when he saw Xu Yin coming too!

The emperor didn't even look at the two of them, his eyes still rested on the frightened Zhang Shicheng: "On the night of August 12, the 16th year of Shengyuan, when you were on duty at the Wucheng Army and Horses Division, what did you do in Baiyu Hutong in the middle of the night? ?”
