Chapter 61

"Girl." Zhu xiulai came to the two brothers and sisters and bowed his head slightly: "childe."

Xu Mingyi nodded and asked, "Uncle Zhu has something for me?"

Zhu Xiuwei nodded, but said nothing.

Xu Ming timely said, "I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."

Zhu Xiu is the confidant left by Xu Mingyi's biological mother. As a younger brother, even if he cares about Xu Mingyi's affairs, he also knows that he should not intervene in everything.

"These days, the villains have been secretly paying attention to the actions of master Zhan according to the girl's instructions."

Beside the stone wall in the front yard, there was no one around. Zhu Xiu, who was tall and burly, lowered his voice and said, "young master Zhan has been reading at home recently. He got up before dawn and didn't sleep until midnight. He seldom goes out in the daytime. It seems nothing different."

Xu Ming asked for a moment.

Zhan Yunzhu already has a reputation as a scholar. He will take an examination of Qiuwei this year. He has a strong purpose. It's normal to be so interested in Qiuwei——

"But is there really no difference? If there are other details, Zhu shuche will also tell me."

Of course, she also knew that the so-called surveillance could not have been done without a trace of omission by Uncle Zhu alone.

"The villains on the side of Mr. Zhan really didn't find anything, but on the side of Mr. Zhan, they got something. I just don't know if it's useful to the girl."

He didn't know what the girl wanted him to do to spy on Mr. Zhan, but he was careful. He was not like Qin Wu. He would only work hard and don't know how to change what the master ordered——

While ensuring that Zhan Yunzhu would not go out, he freed up some energy to pay attention to his father Zhan Qian.

"Uncle Zhu, please say."

"Zhan Qian, a villain, has seen him with his own eyes. He ordered his confidants to send letters to Xia's house at night. There were three times in half a month." Zhu Xiu said: "it seems that Zhan's family seems neutral and noble on the surface and doesn't form a party with others, but secretly seems to have the intention of clinging to Xia Tingzhen."

As for why it is said that it is attachment rather than effectiveness - a small official with a bigger sesame seed in the potential, how can Xia Tingzhen, the head and assistant of the cabinet, see it?

Xu Mingyi heard the meaning of his words, but he didn't agree.

Indeed, small officials such as Zhan Qian don't know how many people want to cling to Xia Tingzhen. It would be a great honor for many people to get involved by someone in the middle.

But Xia Tingzhen didn't look at those people for only one reason - it was of no use to him.

But the potential is different.

Zhan's family is quite close to the town government. Her son Zhan Yunzhu grew up with her and was accepted as a disciple by her second uncle since childhood.

Small pieces that are inconspicuous can also be of great use if placed in a suitable place——

She had thought before that if there was no behind the scenes driver, just occupying the home alone would not be enough to destroy the town government

In the last life, after the town government fell down, Zhan Yunzhu made great progress all the way and married Xia Xi, Xia Tingzhen's youngest daughter.

Now, combined with what uncle Zhu said just now, it can be seen that the communication between the Xia family and the Zhan family is not overnight.

Zhan Yunzhu has been inquiring about the size of the town government through Liu Yi for several years

Until this time, she could almost conclude that Xia Tingzhen had something to do with the fall of their town government.

As for Xia Tingzhen's doing so, whether it was out of the exclusion of dissidents or with the advice or acquiescence of someone, it is not clear at present——

However, judging from what she heard in the East Palace today, it seems not difficult to guess.

A man who can lay hands on his parents and children can guess the greatest malice in the world.

After explaining Zhu Xiu's words, Xu Mingyi went straight to the Zhenguo public court.

She should have never heard of the truth about the prince's murder, but it was external——

She could hide it from anyone, but she could not hide it with her grandfather.

She also needs to take this to keep her grandfather alert.

The Duke of the town was planning to take a nap at this time. Hearing that his granddaughter was coming, he hurried to the outer hall.

The king's son who came to the door today has too much nonsense. In order to make the other party say less, he can only persuade him to drink from time to time, so he also drank a lot.

"Is it the queen who left her for dinner today?" the Duke of the town sat down in his chair, looked at the saluting girl and asked with a smile.

Xu Mingyi nodded and said, "Grandpa, I have something important to tell you."

The Duke of town woke up a little and raised his hand to screen the servant waiting in the hall.

He also ordered Qin Wu to guard four times outside.

"Today, my granddaughter went to the east palace with the queen to see Her Highness the prince..."

After sitting down, Xu Mingyi explained the matter briefly.

After hearing this, the Duke of the town changed slightly and asked in a low voice, "is that what the prince really said?"

"The granddaughter will never hear wrong. And the prince's frightened state is absolutely different and unreasonable."

The Duke of the town frowned and remained silent for a moment.

Cai said: "I didn't have no speculation before, but I dispelled this doubt because of many considerations. The emperor seems to be kind and gentle in dealing with people, but from his many measures after he ascended the throne, he is not a true benevolent politician, so I didn't completely regard him as a benevolent king in my heart..."

"What the prince said vaguely was that he thought the emperor was a stumbling block to the unborn Prince because of the pregnancy of imperial concubine Rong." Xu Mingyi said, "but this is just a child's idea after hearing some rumors that don't know the truth and can't stand careful deliberation."

The Duke nodded.

"Good."

It is really impossible for the emperor to kill the prince because of an unborn child who does not know whether it is male or female.

It is absurd to say that this is to plan ahead.

"If the emperor really designed all this, then his purpose can only be to respect the king's son." the Duke of the town's eyes were slightly heavy: "to be exact, it's to respect the king."

Xu Mingyi nodded.

To the tragedy of the king's residence, she witnessed it in her last life.

"But why did the emperor do it to Jing Wang alone?" she asked puzzledly: "the first emperor had four sons, the emperor was the eldest son, and the following three princes, but Jing Wang was the brother of one of his mother's compatriots."

She didn't think it was an accident.

The prince of Hunan also came to Beijing this time.

As for the Yan king——

Now the world knows that the king of Yan has no children.

The Duke of the town drank two mouthfuls of tea and put down the tea lamp steadily.

"Maybe it's because of the Yan king."

Out of sincerity, he never talked about this with anyone, even his own son, but today he talked about it with his granddaughter and carefully dissected it.

"King Yan?"

Xu Mingyi was a little surprised.

What does this have to do with King Yan?

After the accident of King Jing's residence in the last life, there was no news from the king of Yan stationed in the North - on the contrary, their town government was involved.

She could only guess: "the meaning of grandfather means that the emperor intended to frighten and remind the king of Yan?"

"I'm afraid not only that..."

Or thinking about the past, the Duke of Zhenguo's eyes are gradually a little distant.
