As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 245 Into the Heavenly Prison
Xie Zhaozhao was startled: "You mean, you prepared evidence to confirm the relationship between Qingjing Peak and King Zhou."

"Why not?"

Yun Qi smiled lightly and said: "My uncle, the Twelfth Emperor, has been messing with Fengyun behind the scenes for so many years. It's time to invite him to the front desk to show his face."

Xie Zhaozhao was silent for a moment and couldn't help but tighten his lips.

She saw Yun Qi's indifferent smile, but there was a cold light in his eyes, and she suddenly remembered that in the previous life, Yun Qi was able to ascend the throne to the end, and it was not luck that he relied on.

He is never less clever and calculating than anyone else.

King Zhou was no match for him in his previous life, and certainly not now.

Xie Zhaozhao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As long as you are sure...how is your wound? On New Year's Eve, I saw that although it was not serious, it had not healed well. Last night, I was running around on horseback."

"It's nothing but a little itchy." Yun Qi smiled and approached Xie Zhaozhao, "Please help me scratch it."

"Where does it itch?"

"Back, lower back." Yun Qi grabbed Xie Zhaozhao's hand and pressed it to the itchy spot.

Xie Zhaozhao gently scratched it for him, but he frowned and said, "The more I scratch it, the more it itches."

Xie Zhaozhao had no choice but to pat the narrow couch on one side of the carriage.

Yun Qi widened his coat and lay down on him with a smile.

Xie Zhaozhao lifted up his thin coat and gently scratched the itchy places. Seeing that the bruises on his back were not healed, he frowned and took out the wound medicine he had brought with him and gave it to Yun Qiqing. Apply lightly.

Zhou Wangfu

When the news about Qingjing Peak reached King Zhou, he was about to drink medicine, but now the bowl of medicine that was already unpleasant to drink became even more difficult to swallow.

King Zhou held the medicine bowl tightly and looked very gloomy, "How could it be exposed at Qingjing Peak?"

It has been used there for ten years and there has never been a trace.

Even when the imperial army inspected various places in the suburbs of Beijing, he was able to use blindfolds to avoid it. Why did he get caught by Yun Qi and Xie Zhaozhao?
The tall and thin man replied with an ugly expression: "My subordinates don't know that it was Xie Zhaozhao who first lit up the smoke and choked our people until they couldn't stay any longer, and then King Dingxi's Xuanjia Army rushed in."

"Our people didn't have time to react. Now the village in the valley where dead soldiers are trained has been occupied by the Xuanjia Army, and all the stewards have been captured."

"The emperor sent Lu Hanqiu and the Minister of Punishment to investigate... That Lu Hanqiu is really a powerful character. I am afraid that those stewards will not be able to withstand the questioning and will attract something."

King Zhou's expression became even more gloomy.

The tall and lanky man added: "Fortunately, in these years, those in charge thought that the person behind Qingjing Peak was Prince Liang. Even if they were recruited, His Highness would not be implicated."

Just because Qingjing Peak was exposed, King Zhou lost the most advantageous weapon in his hand. How could he not be angry?

……

The prince was busy with the affairs of the six ministries and arrived at the imperial study room only in the afternoon.

He has already heard about the progress of the Lantern Festival case.

As soon as he entered the imperial study, Emperor Xuanwu dismissed everyone, leaving only the prince to speak.

No one knew what they said. They only knew that when the prince left the imperial study, his expression was a little complicated, and his eyes showed a faint hint of exhaustion.

After Lu Hanqiu and the Minister of Punishment went to Qingjing Peak, they inspected carefully and personally interrogated several stewards they caught.

The stewards could not bear the torture and confessed to King Liang. They also confessed that the assassination of the prince in Guanmei Mountain was what King Liang ordered them to do.

Moreover, they all confessed in detail about how Liang Wang supported them in training dead soldiers, the process of selecting and training killers, etc.

When Lu Hanqiu sent all the evidence to Emperor Xuanwu, Emperor Xuanwu looked indifferent and just glanced at it casually, "So, it was all done by King Liang?"

"That's right." Lu Hanqiu lowered his eyes, "According to the testimony, it is like this." "What about the Xuanjia Army who dressed up as assassins to assassinate Chen Shulan?"

"Although those assassins were from the Xuanjia Army, upon closer inspection, they were found to be the agents of His Highness Prince Liang who had been placed in the Xuanjia Army."

Emperor Xuanwu murmured: "So everything was done by King Liang..."

"Yes." Lu Hanqiu lowered his eyes and added, "But when the official inspected the village where dead soldiers were trained, he found an account book, which recorded the daily supplies required by the village."

"The Datong Grain Store in Beijing delivers grains, vegetables and other supplies to the village every month."

"The Datong Liang Store is the property of Prince Zhou's Mansion."

Lu Hanqiu finished speaking and handed over the account book.

Emperor Xuanwu turned over the pages with an expressionless face. The account books started ten years ago, and every month's grain, vegetables, meat, eggs, etc. were recorded very clearly.

After calmly turning over two pages, he threw them on the table with a clatter. His eyes were slightly lowered. No one could guess what the emperor was thinking now.

After a while, Emperor Xuanwu said: "Shoot Prince Liang into a prison and confiscate all the property in the house."

The Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army took the order and left.

Lu Hanqiu stood there without saying a word.

……

When the news that Prince Liang's house was confiscated reached Xie Zhaozhao's ears, she was accompanying Xie Jiajia to coax little Yue Ya.

The news came as no surprise to her.

She put the child into Xie Jiajia's hand and said with a smile: "Sister, I will go out for a while and come to have dinner with you later."

"Okay."

Xie Jiajia smiled and waved: "Go quickly, business is important."

After Xie Zhaozhao retreated outside the courtyard, he asked quietly: "Only the King of Liang was punished, where is the King of Zhou?"

"There is no news of accountability to King Zhou." Lei Xing replied: "The palace of King Zhou is also the same as in the past few months. It is very quiet and there is no special movement."

Xie Zhaozhao frowned, "How could that happen?"

Yun Qi prepared the evidence, but King Zhou was not implicated?
Did King Zhou do something to turn things around again, or... Emperor Xuanwu had other ideas.

Xie Zhaozhao pondered for a moment and asked Lei Xing to send a message to Miao Shan Tang and make an appointment with Yun Qi.

Emperor Xuanwu asked Yun Qi not to have to ask about this matter anymore, so Yun Qi returned to his mansion today. After receiving Xie Zhaozhao's letter of appointment, he went to Qingfeng Tower to meet him.

As soon as they met, Xie Zhaozhao asked: "Is there something wrong with the evidence?"

"No."

Yun Qi made a cup of tea for Xie Zhaozhao, "Drink some water to moisten your throat. Don't be anxious. Listen to me and tell you slowly."

"..."

Xie Zhaozhao was silent and took a sip of tea, "What's going on?"

"I'm sure the evidence has been sent to Grandpa Huang." Yun Qi said: "But Grandpa Huang's thoughts are complicated and difficult to guess. If he doesn't deal with King Zhou, he may be waiting to see something."

Xie Zhaozhao frowned, pondered for a moment and then said: "Did your evidence be too deliberate? What did your majesty see? You have been too sharp and sharp against Prince Liang in the past six months."

"Now that the King of Liang has been defeated, he will also bring the King of Zhou into the water. Your Majesty certainly trusts you, but for such a big move, the King of Liang and the King of Zhou are both your uncles. Maybe he is unhappy?"
