Zheng Xuhong's expression was also very unhappy. Hearing the king ask him this question, he sighed helplessly and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what's going on yet. Now I can only search Zhang Fu's mansion in detail to see if there are any clues that can point to the problem."
The King of Korea nodded, understanding Zheng Xuhong's reason for returning. He was calling for more personnel. The men Zheng Xuhong had brought with her were likely terrified by the sight and were no longer useful.
The King of Korea nodded and said, "Then go ahead and get the manpower to cooperate with you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zheng Xuhong nodded, bowed respectfully, turned around and walked out.
After Zheng Xuhong left, the King of Korea's expression became even uglier.
Zhang Fu's death was something he had never expected, especially at this time, and in such a tragic way.
In fact, in the heart of the King of Joseon, even if he arrested Zhang Fu this time, he would only punish Zhang Fu alone; he did not intend to implicate Zhang Fu's family members, at most exiling them, and he also planned to find a good place for them. As long as they did not confiscate their property, they would just recover some of their property and leave them a portion of their property. This way, he could appease the people and prevent the young and vigorous faction from being too rebellious.
But now, Zhang Fu died in such a tragic way. Who can bear it?
I'm afraid the situation among the young faction will become even more intense. After all, Zhang Fu's death was too tragic. The young faction will feel the same way and everyone will feel insecure.
Ming Dynasty Embassy.
Song Xiang walked in with a grim expression. When she saw Zhang Yu, she quickly said, "The news just came out that Zhang Fu's family is all dead. They were hanged in the Zhang family's lobby."
After hearing this, Zhang Yu's expression did not change. He then said, "I didn't expect it to be so tragic."
"Have you guessed it a long time ago?" Song Xiang looked at Zhang Yu suspiciously and asked.
"I guessed it a long time ago." Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Since four days ago, no one from the Zhang family came out to buy things, I guessed something had happened. But I didn't expect them to choose this method."
"I originally thought that taking poison was the best solution, but I didn't expect it to be hanging." Looking up at Song Xiang, Zhang Yu said in a deep voice: "Our people have been watching at their doorstep the whole time. Could it be that they didn't find any clues? With such a big incident, there should be some movement."
Song Xiang's expression instantly turned ugly. She looked at Zhang Yu and asked, "Do you think he didn't commit suicide?"
Shaking his head sarcastically, Zhang Yu said, "How could it be suicide? Even if it was suicide, he wouldn't take his entire family with him in such a violent way. This can only be homicide."
"Killing and hanging everyone is more than a few people can do. It's incredible that our people didn't notice such a big commotion. The North Koreans didn't notice it either. It seems that the person who did it was an expert."
"Could it be those servants who did it?" Song Xiang said, "Our people are watching, and the North Koreans are watching too. It's too difficult for someone to go in and out without being noticed. So it's very likely that someone inside did it."
"Where are those slaves now?" Zhang Yu raised his head and asked.
"They were all arrested by North Korea." Song Xiang said with a serious face.
"That's probably over." Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "Forget it. Although this incident was not planned and we don't know who did it, I have already guessed it and made preparations. This incident is not a bad thing for us."
Song Xiang nodded and said, "Then what should we do?"
"Once this incident breaks out, everyone's attention will be focused on Zhang Fu's case. Let's take action immediately," Zhang Yu said directly, "Send Jin Zhengmin away."
"Okay, I'll arrange it." Song Xiang nodded.
"Have our people contacted the second prince of North Korea?" Zhang Yu nodded, indicating that this was to be done, and then shifted the topic to the second prince of North Korea.
This person is crucial.
"I've already contacted them." Song Xiang said, "We've arranged to meet today."
"That's good." Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Speed up the process, and contact more ministers and generals in Korea. In the name of the Second Prince, we must speed up the process."
"Also, we need to prepare our manpower. At critical moments, we have to rely on our people to stir things up. Those North Koreans are unreliable."
"I understand." Song Xiang nodded and said, "People have been sent in through Chen Facai. The ones coming this time are all elite members of the General Staff Office, as well as the Imperial Guard. Don't worry, there will be absolutely no problem."
"That's good." Zhang Yu nodded and said, "We don't have to wait too long."
At the same time, in Lord Fenglin’s residence.
A man walked in from outside with a smile on his face. He had a fair complexion, regular features, and a good appearance. He was wearing a long gown and holding a folding fan in his hand, looking more like a scholar.
Led by the servants, he came to the back garden and went directly into the pavilion. The servants said goodbye one after another, leaving this man alone.
The man was not in a hurry. While enjoying the scenery, he picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea. When he saw the snacks on the table, he picked them up and took a bite without hesitation.
He nodded with a satisfied look, as if he thought it tasted pretty good.
Lord Fenglin stood not far away and looked at this person. He turned to the person next to him and asked, "Is this the person you were talking about?"
Standing next to Lord Fenglin was an old man in his fifties, with a thin figure and almost no hair. He could only wear his hair in a very small bun.
