Due to Han Anbang's sudden dismissal and investigation, Sun Shaozong forwarded the official document for the allocation of troops to Jia Yucun and rushed to the Northern Detective Department in a lively manner.
Along the way, he was still pondering how to investigate the ”Dragon Root Case.” However, as soon as he arrived at the inner hall of the Northern Governor's Office, Lu Hui, the Pacifier, said the two sentences mentioned above.
At first glance, it seemed that this case could already be closed.
But Lu Hui's ferocious expression, with a mocking expression, made it clear that this was not the case.
Sun Shaozong pondered momentarily and shook his head, saying, "What a clever plan to use a knife to kill someone. Unfortunately, the force was too strong. Since it was the remaining party of Prince Yizhong who planned this matter, how could he be so careless when spreading rumors afterward? Isn't this a waste of his last glimmer of life?”
If it were to be said that after putting in a lot of effort, it was finally discovered that it was the actions of Prince Yizhong, Sun Shaozong might have been skeptical, but in just a few days, the rumormonger was caught and easily confessed that it was Prince Yizhong’s orders.
This meant someone deliberately planted and framed him.
Or Prince Yizhong has a group of loyal fans.
Later on, of course, this was a joke. Prince Yizhong was engaged in a struggle for power and profit, not street hip-hop. If there were such a group of brainwashed remnants, they should have been arrested long ago.
But when Lu Hui heard Sun Shaozong's words, he slightly raised the corner of his mouth and sneered, "No matter who is behind the scenes in this matter, since they dare to attack His Majesty with their ideas, they should be prepared to be annihilated.”
After a pause, his gloomy gaze fixed on Sun Shaozong's face and he exclaimed, "Inspector Sun?”
“Yes?”
“No matter what means you use, you must uncover the person behind the scenes and give His Majesty the truth.”
“I will definitely do my best.”
Sun Shaozong solemnly promised, but in his heart, he was quite skeptical. It was important to trace the mastermind behind the scenes, but at present, if Emperor Guangde wanted to turn the situation around, relying solely on a so-called truth might not be helpful.
What was the use of beheading someone then?
Could the already shaken ”national foundation” grow again due to bloody killings?
Of course, if he could kill the Supreme Emperor together, he could barely get through this crisis.
The problem was that, in recent years, people's emphasis on their descendants has far exceeded modern imagination. The broken dragon root of the Crown Prince has shaken not only the ”fundamental,” but also the hearts of the people of the court and the public!
Just taking his Big Brother as an example.
It was hard to say whether he could continue to remain loyal to an Emperor without a ”future” if he hadn't been dragged onto the pirate ship of Prince Zhongshun.
Even Prince Zhongshun, if it weren't for his anxiety, how could he return the silvers to his Big Brother?
Commander Qiu's head turned white overnight, probably related to his inner turmoil and fear!
If they wanted to calm this storm temporarily, he was afraid they would only have to resort to sword attacks and dangerous military actions!
Not to mention how Sun Shaozong rushed to the Crown Prince's Residence without stopping when he was ordered in a crisis.
In the secret room of a luxurious Residence's backyard, two middle-aged men in splendid attire were celebrating wildly.
“Hahaha.”
A sixty-year-old, the top scorer Red Wine, spilled nearly half of it amidst wild laughter. The wine dripped down his beard and soaked his chest profusely. However, the owner of the wine glass was not impressed at all and threw it heavily onto the table, shouting, "It's so delightful, so delightful! How could that foolish gentleman never have imagined that he would end up in such a situation.”
“He naturally didn't expect it.”
The other person, on the other hand, was much more elegant. He took a sip of the wine cup from the Northern Song official kiln and held it in his palm, gently rotating it. He sneered, "He played some provincial trick and deliberately promoted the cowards of the Rongguo Mansion. He thought he could fool us, but he didn't know we had already penetrated his heart and lungs.”
Speaking of this, the man couldn't help but express some pride on his face, "It's just that the heavens have eyes, but when we were about to take action, there was an eclipse. Now I want to see what other way he can save the defeat.”
The bold and unrestrained middle-aged man smacked his lips, shook his head, and said, "To be honest, if it weren't for your Big Brother, who spent a lot of money to bribe the maid in the Imperial Study, I wouldn't have expected him to be so wilting normally that he would have been holding back to kill all of us, the Four Princes and Eight Ministers.”
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel uneasy again. He leaned closer to the elegant person and lowered his voice, saying, "Brother, after all, that fatuous gentleman has been preparing for so many years. If we fight to the death of a fish and the net is broken, will we...”
The following words were a bit unlucky, so he stopped and didn't continue.
However, the refined person had already understood what he was worried about, so he calmly placed the wine cup on the table and sneered, "That's exactly why I chose to start this matter recently. The unconscious Crown Prince was blinded by Prince Yizhong's firearm, and his mind was focused on holding the Shenji Camp in his hand. Therefore, many people were transferred from the city defense camp and patrol camp.”
“Nowadays, in the city defense and patrol camps, the noble sons who are close to the Supreme Emperor have the upper hand. However, there are not many new firearms available in the Shenji Camp for a while. So, even if he wants to break with the Supreme Emperor, how can he have enough capital?”
“Isn't Huben Camp still there?”
“Hahaha.”
Upon hearing the words ”Huben Camp,” the refined middle-aged man couldn't help but burst into laughter and shook his head, saying, “It was his intelligence that led to his mistake. Because Huben Camp had the responsibility of guarding the Imperial Palace and was the only elite field warrior in the Capital, he chose the old and steady Qiu Ying to sit at that position to avoid being drawn in.”
“But precisely because Qiu Ying always seeks stability and was not clear enough in his actions, he will never help that fatigued ruler deal with the Supreme Emperor. Of course, the reverse is also true. If the Supreme Emperor wants to take action against this fatigued ruler, Qiu Ying may not obediently obey.”
“However, since this fatuous monarch has lost his descendants and coincides with the warning of the heavens, why does the Emperor need to resort to force? Just promote public opinion between the court and the public, and force the fatuous monarch to choose one of several Princes or Imperial Grandsons to inherit the throne, that's all.”
“Prince Zhongshun has no children under him and has always been notorious, so it is not within the consideration of establishing a Crown Prince.”
“Prince Yizhong, not to mention that even if we didn't act under his name this time, he would never be able to rise again.”
“And of the remaining two, Prince Zhongxin and Prince Yishun, one is your Brother-in-law, and the other is a relative of your biological daughter. What's there to worry about?”
As he spoke, the elegant middle-aged man filled another glass of wine and lifted it high, saying, "Come, let's have a drink together.”
