Rebirth of the Splendid Phoenix

Chapter 116 Yuan Zheng
"Zhuang Zhong, I remember that he was a second-class Jinshi in 15 years, he was fairly decent, he always kept the etiquette, almost rigid."

The emperor threw the folder in his hand onto the dragon case, with an unpredictable look in his eyes.

"Is he related to the killer? I don't believe that this person is so bold."

Zhuang Zhong is the eldest prince's person, and he has always adhered to the rule of establishing the eldest son.

Although the eldest prince was not born to the empress, he was adopted by the empress, he was also considered as half a legitimate son, and he was also the eldest son, so naturally there were such a group of people who supported him.

The emperor has always disliked solemn old antiques, and his prince must be the wisest.

But precisely because Zhuang Zhong was an existence who liked to go against his will, the emperor actually had a great tolerance for these courtiers and never guarded against them.

Unexpectedly, Qin Zheng's secret letter pointed directly at Zhuang Zhuang, and even pointed behind Zhuang Zhuang.

Standing in front of the emperor was Chen Yansheng, the commander of Zhuquewei, and beside him was Qin Zheng.

Chen Yansheng looked at Qin Zheng, which meant to ask Qin Zheng to answer, without any intention of showing off in front of the emperor.

During this period of time, the emperor gave Qin Zheng extremely great power, allowing him to control all the power in the capital, Suzaku Wei Mingli and secretly. This is the trust given to Qin Zheng, but it is also the hottest potato.

If the limelight is not good, it will be a sharp knife falling on him.

Chen Yansheng was able to serve as the commander of the Suzaku Guard under the emperor for many years, relying on his style of doing things when he should retreat and advance.

Qin Zheng didn't care about Chen Yansheng's thoughts. Ever since he entered Zhuquewei, he never thought of retreating.

Stepping forward, he saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, these are the investigations of Suzaku Wei Anbu over the past few days. Zhuang Zhong is indeed related to the killers in Tianxiang Garden. Someone once saw killers coming in and out of his mansion. , it’s just that when people were sent to pursue them, those killers had already disappeared.”

"One day ago, in a dry well in a slum area of ​​the city, someone found more than a dozen corpses. Judging by their clothes and clothes, they were all the same as the killers in Tianxiang Garden. They should be from the same group."

"Also, Zhuang Zhong is also secretly involved with many people in the court. People from Anbu have been guarding outside his mansion. I know this matter is of great importance, so I dare not make decisions without authorization."

The matter that Zhuang Zhong secretly belonged to the king of Qi, the emperor himself will investigate clearly.

Qin Zheng told all the things he knew in detail, without any extra speculation or embellishment. Many people in Zhuquewei seemed to be subdued by him, but Suzakuwei was still the emperor's man in the final analysis.

After all, his time in it was short.

Qin Zheng now wants the emperor's attitude, whether to continue the investigation, or whether to let him continue the investigation.

The emperor seemed to be sighing, but when he heard Qin Zheng's reply, he looked up at him.

His eyes were sharp, Chen Yansheng lowered his head, avoiding the emperor's eyes.

Qin Zheng didn't dodge or dodge.

"check."

The emperor tapped lightly on the table with his finger, and after a dozen times, he stopped and spoke decisively. There was only one word.

"No matter who is behind Zhuangzhuang, let me investigate carefully. I want to see which monster in the capital is so bold and dares to create such a serious case at the feet of the emperor!"

The emperor's face was full of seriousness and indifference.

At this moment, he no longer concealed his anger.

Although Qin Zheng's words were not embellished, the emperor subconsciously thought of his sons, restless sons.

He just felt a surge of anger in his heart. Before he died, these sons wanted to get him off this chair, but they were really his good sons.

Many people died in Tianxiang Garden, among them were some important ministers trusted by the emperor.

Those are the humerus of the pillars of the court who are loyal to the emperor and never stand in line.

But he died under the most despicable assassination, how can the emperor feel calm!

Qin Zheng was ordered to resign.

"and many more."

The emperor suddenly stopped Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng stopped.

The emperor picked up the memorial on the table again, with fluctuating emotions in his eyes: "Secretly check, find out the secret document and report it, don't disturb the people behind Zhuangzhuang. Also, the Tianxiangyuan incident was done by Xiyuan spies."

Qin Zheng was not surprised by the words of the emperor's change of mind, but nodded obediently.

"The minister obeys the order."

The Tianxiangyuan incident was too bad and vicious, the emperor would not allow his son to have anything to do with this incident, he could only push this incident to the Xiyuan people according to the wishes of the people behind the scenes, and then had a relationship with Xiyuan Keep fighting.

But that thorn, that thorn of fear and suspicion towards all his sons, has already been planted, and there is no possibility of pulling it out.

Qin Zheng suddenly thought of the palace change more than ten years ago, the palace change in which the second prince Xianwang colluded with the people of Xiyuan.

Thinking of the blood that permeated between the lines found in the classics.

In a daze, Qin Zheng somewhat understood the thoughts of the eldest princess' son-in-law.

Perhaps his purpose was to plant a thorn in the emperor's heart from the very beginning.

Want Xiyuan and Daqing to turn against each other.

Maybe he hated the emperor of Daqing and also hated Xiyuan.

It's not because it's so easy to guess the other party's mind, but at this moment, Qin Zheng is comparing his heart with the mind of a person who was abandoned in Daqing and suffered all kinds of hardships because of a so-called palace coup more than ten years ago.

He also hated Xi Yuan, he also hated Da Qing, and he also hated Da Qing, the high-ranking emperor, because the other party ordered to kill all Xi Yuan men in Da Qing, and because of that order to exile all women, his life was completely plunged into darkness. .

If it wasn't for Xie Jin's paintings, he might have become even scarier than Ye Jing'an at this moment.

-

Now that the emperor's order has been issued, the Tianxiangyuan matter is not a conspiracy of the Xiyuan people, but it has become a conspiracy of the Xiyuan people.

What's more, some people in Xiyuan are inherently ambitious.

As the night was dark, Ye Jing'an gently placed the chess pieces in his hands on a corner of the chessboard, and the side that had already shown defeat instantly revived and surrounded the other side instead.

His face was no longer as dignified and gentle as he was in front of outsiders. Instead, his face was full of treachery. Looking at the chessboard that had turned defeat into victory, he flicked his sleeves on the chessboard, and the chess pieces scattered all over the sky.

"Is it done?"

Ye Jingan asked aloud.

A figure in the darkness stopped there at some unknown time: "It's done, Qin Zheng has found the clue we want to leave him, it's just the master"

The man in black raised his head, with some hesitation in his eyes: "Why did you send yourself up there? If he really handed you over to Emperor Daqing, wouldn't you be in danger?"

"He is the son of that person. As long as he remembers that he is not the real third son of Prince Rui's Mansion, he will not pass my news to the emperor. I don’t know, and my expectation of him was wasted.”

With a movement of the finger, a black jade chess piece suddenly flew out and hit a corner in the darkness.

Holding the chess piece with one hand, the faint moonlight reflected the figure walking towards the pavilion step by step, but it was Qin Zheng.

"You came sooner than I thought."

Ye Jing'an frowned, as if dissatisfied that Qin Zheng couldn't calm down more than he imagined.

Qin Zheng stood a few steps away from Ye Jingan, and the man in black who had just replied to Ye Jingan stood between them, with his weapon unsheathed and his face full of vigilance.

"Why, do you really forget your identity and want to be loyal to Emperor Daqing? Is it impossible to become his loyal lackey?"

Ye Jingan hooked his lips, full of sarcasm.

"I don't pledge allegiance to anyone."

Qin Zheng said coldly.

With a movement of his wrist, the long knife at his waist was drawn out: "I just want to learn the skills of the eldest princess consort!"

Qin Zheng originally came here to find out the news, but he did not expect to hear the conversation between Ye Jingan and his subordinates.

At that moment, Qin Zheng knew that both he and Xie Jinhua had oversimplified Ye Jingan's thinking.

He might be more dangerous than either of them imagined.

In an instant, Qin Zheng decided to face Ye Jingan face to face.

Ye Jing'an was too dangerous, and he also figured out exactly what this person was thinking and how terrifying he was.

Also, Qin Zheng wants to avenge Xie Jinhua.

He had a feeling that if he endured it today, he might never have the chance to recover the wounds on Xie Jinhua's body in the future.

"Bold!"

The man in black standing in front of Ye Jing'an gave a cold shout and was about to meet Qin Zheng.

Ye Jingan put his hand on the shoulder of the man in black: "Stand back."

The man in black had a look of struggle on his face, but he retreated silently.

"Don't intervene in a while, don't let people come and disturb you, I also want to take a good look at the progress of the child I have been expecting for so long."

Ye Jingan smiled and stepped forward.

The sound of sword clashing sounded.

Mars radiates.

Qin Zheng's skills have become more refined and terrifying after frequent life-and-death fights recently, but Ye Jing'an seems to know every move and style of him, and he can always avoid Qin Zheng's killing moves in advance or lightly catch Qin Zheng's killing moves.

That calm and inexplicable anticipation of the enemy's opportunity puts tremendous pressure on people.

But Qin Zheng had no intention of retreating.

Ye Jingan can understand his next move, then he will be faster, no matter how fast, he can react faster than Ye Jingan.

In an instant, the two had exchanged more than 100 strokes, and only two blurred shadows could be seen in the air. Sharp voices split the air and the surrounding decorations, causing dust to fly.

A stream of blood dripped down, and the two shadows stopped. Qin Zheng had a sword on his neck, and blood continued to ooze from his neck.

And his knife was still two inches away from Ye Jingan's chest.

The distance of two inches is very short, just one force is enough to send the tip of the knife into Ye Jingan's chest.

But these two inches are the distance between life and death at this moment. Before Qin Zheng makes a move, Ye Jing'an's sword has countless opportunities to kill him in advance.

The difference is a thousand miles away.

Qin Zheng looked at Ye Jing'an coldly, with astonishment, anger, and disbelief in his eyes: "Who are you? Why are you and my martial arts?"

"From the same source, isn't it?"

Ye Jing'an followed Qin Zheng's words.

With a movement of his wrist, the sword against Qin Zheng's neck has been retracted.

"It's actually not surprising at all. After all, the one next to you was once the most capable person under my command."

Qin Zheng's hands trembled slightly.

"Qin Zheng."

Ye Jingan read Qin Zheng's name, the weird smile on his lips completely dissipated, and a deep dark color settled in his eyes: "You shouldn't be called this name, you should be called Yuan Zheng, my nephew."
