Chapter 467 He is only afraid of Prince Yan's Mansion
Zhu Feng said with a sullen face, "This Jie Shi, or rather, the forces behind him, must have a huge conspiracy that must not be known to the public."
“…”
"So, even though they just let us out, they must have secretly sent people to Beiping as fast as they could, to the vicinity of Prince Yan's Mansion, to stop the people transporting the bodies."
“…”
"If they get the body, they won't let us go."
“…”
"So, we have to rush over before they get the body."
Hearing him say this, Nan Yan felt even more depressed.
What kind of secret is it, anyway?
She and Ran Xiaoyu were just angry for a moment and went to the Treasure Pavilion to gamble on stones and to enforce justice, but suddenly, it seemed like they were involved in some serious incidents.
She whispered, "Your Majesty, is there another force behind Jie Shi?"
Zhu Feng said in a deep voice: "Yes."
"Why?"
"He's a wealthy businessman who suddenly appeared. Even the imperial court didn't record him. Obviously, he didn't become rich through normal means."
“…”
"In this kind of situation, generally speaking, there are some unspeakable secrets behind it."
Nan Yan gasped.
This time, she really believed that she had "stirred up trouble" and caused big trouble.
Zhu Feng glanced at her and then opened the curtain again. The cold wind blew snow into the carriage. He said to the servant driving the carriage, "Go faster."
When the attendant heard this, he immediately said, "Yes."
After he finished speaking, he raised the whip in his hand and whistled loudly in the air, and the horse pulling the cart in front immediately galloped away with all its might.
The hard wheels crushed the ice and snow and sped through the long street. The violent shaking suddenly reminded Nan Yan of something.
She raised her head and said to Zhu Feng, who had just lowered the curtain, "Your Majesty, I have an idea."
"Oh? What's that?"
"I think the secret of Jieshi may be related to the emperor, or to the Prince of Yan's Mansion."
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why?"
Nan Yan took a deep breath and said, "I remember that when the Emperor told them to transport the body to Peking to report to the authorities, although Jie Shi was surprised, he didn't show any intention of giving up immediately."
“…”
"On the contrary, he ordered his men to rush out and use threats and inducements to the emperor."
“…”
"However, when the emperor said that the body was transported to Prince Yan's mansion, he did not dare to act rashly."
“…”
"He seems to be very afraid of Prince Yan's Mansion."
This time, Zhu Feng frowned.
He hadn't noticed this detail before, but after listening to Nan Yan's explanation, it seemed to be true.
What Jie Shi and the others feared most was that the corpse would be transported to Prince Yan's Mansion.
Why?
Nan Yan said, "However, this is a bit strange. Because whether you report it to the authorities or to Prince Yan's Mansion, they will be strictly investigated and dealt with."
“…”
"Why is he only afraid of Prince Yan's Mansion?"
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "Perhaps, only by seeing the body can we get the answer."
“…”
"Or perhaps, the secret of the corpse can only be solved by me or the people of Prince Yan's Mansion."
So, they have to get ahead of those people!
After a while, they returned to the inn where they had stayed before.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Zhu Feng immediately jumped out with Nan Yan. Someone was already waiting at the door. Ye Zheng came back early and made sure everyone was prepared, including Ying Shao and the others.
As soon as Zhu Feng reached the door, he said, "Let's set off immediately."
At this time, Ye Zheng came over and whispered, "Your Majesty, the people I sent to investigate the mine where the Jieshi was buried nearby have also returned."
