Chapter 192: Incident at the Liang Family in the Capital! Emperor Wen Assists He Zhaojun
The royal palace in the capital.
"You are so bold! Zisheng said he wanted to capture Liang Xia alive, but you shot him to death with one arrow. Tell me, are you the mastermind behind Liang Xia's frame-up of the prince?" Emperor Wen's face was heavy, and he looked intimidating without even getting angry.
Liang Muzhou kowtowed, "I'm not afraid of Liang Xia revealing the so-called truth, but the Li Emperor was tyrannical and slaughtered the Liang family. By the time I assumed the position of head of the family, there were no more descendants left to rely on... Further investigation into this matter would be detrimental to the overall situation."
Emperor Wen glanced at Ling Buyi and Wen Ziduan who were standing beside him. They were busy working day and night to resettle the disaster-stricken people in the capital.
But Emperor Wen knew what Liang Muzhou meant. The person who knew that the Crown Prince had a secret meeting with Qu Lingjun in Zigui Courtyard and framed Qu Lingjun for Liang Shang's murder, thus throwing dirty water on the Crown Prince, must be Marquis Xiaoyue.
"Zisheng, is it possible that this was done by the Crown Princess's brother-in-law Sun Sheng? He was in charge of guarding the Zigui Villa..." Emperor Wen still wanted to cover it up.
Ling Buyi's face was cold: "I have already captured Sun Sheng. If we let him go, I believe he will not survive for more than two days."
Emperor Wen pursed his lips. Ling Zisheng was so good, he acted so quickly that he didn't even have the chance to make an excuse.
Wen Ziduan raised his eyebrows and said, "Father, I have notified my uncle to come to the palace today. He should be in Yongle Palace now." He has always been like this. No matter if it is his uncle or anyone else, he will naturally not cover up if they make mistakes.
What's more, Xiao Yuehou was also involved in the case of Gucheng. If he really delayed the rescue deliberately and killed the entire Huo family, Ling Buyi would not let him go.
"Your Majesty, please." Wen Ziduan bowed and opened the side door, waiting for Emperor Wen to stand up. Emperor Wen groaned for a long time and followed the two reluctantly.
What a ruthless Wen Ziduan who sacrificed his own family for the sake of justice! He even killed his own uncle!
The three stood behind the screen of Yongle Palace and listened for a long time until they heard Xiao Yuehou admit that miasma was not harmful to humans. He also couldn't understand why King Lao Gan'an never returned after entering the dense forest. Emperor Wen couldn't help but stand up.
"Deprive him of his title and make him guard the imperial mausoleum!" Emperor Wen angrily scolded Marquis Xiao Yue, and it took him a while to calm down. At this moment, Ling Buyi had a new inference.
He glanced at Wen Ziduan, then turned and bowed to Emperor Wen. "It seems that the suspicion regarding the replacement of the weapons in Lonely City has fallen on Peng Kun, the garrison commander of Shouchun. I beg Your Majesty to grant me the opportunity to try Peng Kun and uncover the truth of that incident."
Wen Ziduan also nodded repeatedly: "Father, this matter is of great importance. Why not inform Zhaojun first and ask her to help with the investigation?"
Emperor Wen agreed: "The damage to the capital is far more serious than we imagined. It is largely due to the efforts of you two. Almost all the officials have been up all night. I believe the situation in Shouchun is equally dire. I have already dispatched troops to Shouchun to restore the situation. You can rest assured."
Wen Ziduan couldn't sleep at all. Every day when he opened his eyes, he would look for news about Shouchun. He didn't know who submitted the memorial, and there was not a single word about He Zhaojun.
If it weren't for He Zhaojun's slightly sloppy signature at the end of each letter, he would have grown wings and rushed to Shouchun to save people. Emperor Wen also found it funny to see him like this.
"Don't worry, I have already arranged for someone to be by her side, who will naturally protect her. He is a young man with great martial arts skills, a strong physique, and handsome appearance. Zhaojun will definitely like him."
Wen Ziduan gritted his teeth and bowed to Emperor Wen: "I really have to thank you very much, father, for your thoughtful consideration."
Is there anyone who treats his son like you?!
