Xie Yihui looked very disappointed with his friend, and the man in black narrowed his eyes when he saw this.

"Sir, please give me another chance. I will definitely bring the real evidence!" The man in black said and walked away. He came to the Shangshu Mansion and slaughtered everyone there, including the Shangshu's wife and his four children.

The brutal murder of the Shangshu family alarmed the imperial palace.

The emperor summoned Rong Zhen to the palace and wanted him to come over to negotiate.

"I believe you have heard about what happened last night?!" The emperor turned to him impatiently. When he heard the news, his face turned pale. How could the Shangshu's family be brutally wiped out?

"Royal brother... do you know everything that happened last night?" Rong Zhen was still a step slower than the emperor in receiving the news. The emperor was referring to the tragic massacre of the Shangshu's family, not the fact that he and Gu Yunru had taken the initiative to go to the Shangshu's mansion to collect clues.

"Someone reported this to me early this morning. I don't know who it is, but he is so ambitious that he even didn't let Cui Ping's family go!"

When the emperor said this, the hatred in his eyes grew stronger. Rong Zhen then realized that perhaps the two were not talking about the same thing.

"Brother Emperor, what did you say? Shangshu's family has been tragically wiped out?"

Rong Zhen looked at him in great surprise. He was fine when he went there yesterday, and he even met the ladies during the day.

"Of course it's true. When have you ever had your royal brother lie to you?" Seeing that Rong Zhen didn't dare to believe it, he emphasized it again and again.

"This..." Rong Zhen did not tell anyone that he and Gu Yunru went to explore the mansion last night. Perhaps the man in black that he met yesterday had come back again.

After knowing that what she gave was fake, he killed all the people in Shangshu Mansion in anger.

"This matter is simply too absurd. How dare someone do this under the Emperor's nose? I must find out who did this!"

The emperor was furious and coughed non-stop while sitting aside. Rong Zhen saw that he seemed to have caught a cold these days, so he immediately walked up to him and asked worriedly, "Brother, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. We must get to the bottom of this matter and bring the real culprit behind this to justice!"

"yes."

Rong Zhen left the palace after receiving the order. He was worried all the way, but he met Xie Yihui halfway. After seeing Xie Yihui, he stood there like a wooden sculpture.

"I didn't expect that Prince Zhao would also enter the palace. I heard that the emperor has been feeling unwell these days, so I specially asked someone to find a thousand-year-old wild ginseng to visit the emperor." Xie Yihui said, taking out the gift prepared behind him and showing it to him, as if he was afraid that he would be worried.

"Thank you, Grand Chancellor, for your concern." Rong Zhen lowered his head, a hint of deepness in his eyes. Thinking about the Shangshu Mansion, he was afraid that it was related to Xie Yihui.

Xie Yihui received the news in the morning and was furious. Not only did the idiot fail to find any evidence, he also killed Shangshu's family without leaving a single person alive. Wasn't this just alerting the enemy? So he let the killer commit suicide by taking poison, and then handed the matter over to someone else to handle.

"I heard that the emperor trusts Prince Zhao very much and has given you full authority to handle this matter. I wonder if Your Highness has found any clues after so many days?"

Xie Yihui was a shrewd man. He looked at him with a kind smile on his face. His every word and action was to find out information. Rong Zhen saw through what he was thinking at a glance.

The strange thing is that after being with Gu Yunru for such a long time, he actually learned a little bit of psychology from her. This was something that surprised him very much.

Rong Zhen knew that he was testing him, so he bowed respectfully and said, "Sir, this matter may be difficult to handle. I think it would be difficult to do it alone.

I still need the help of adults." Rong Zhen put himself in a low position, and his words and actions also fully demonstrated the overwhelming power of Xie Yihui.

"Your Highness, please don't say that. It's embarrassing for me. With your talent, this kind of thing is not worth mentioning. It's just that the Shangshu's family was tragically wiped out. This matter is indeed full of doubts. If Your Highness finds out the news, you must tell me as soon as possible."

He stroked the goatee on his chin with a smile, and looked into Rong Zhen's eyes, knowing the depth in his eyes. This young man was not like an ordinary man.

He has deep eyes, a high nose bridge, and a mature appearance. Rong Zhen has been his biggest worry since he was a child, and now he has become the emperor's right-hand man. It seems that it is difficult for him to control the emperor mentally.

"Yes." After exchanging a few words with him, Rong Zhen left and returned home first, while Gu Yunru hid the letter of advice.

It was written here that the Minister of Rites and some local officials colluded to use diplomatic power to sell young girls and smuggle salt, but they were killed before the evidence was produced. It seemed that this was the cause of death. At this time, there was a noise outside. The minister's family was killed by men in black.

Hearing someone pushing the door open from outside, Gu Yunru subconsciously hid the letter of advice under her pillow. She breathed a sigh of relief when she found out that it was Rong Zhen who came in.

"What's wrong? What did the emperor say to you?" Gu Yunru took his hand and sat aside to pour a cup of tea. Seeing that he looked uneasy, she thought something had happened again.

"Has something big happened again?" Gu Yunru asked immediately. She had been feeling very anxious in the house, and her right eyelid kept twitching up and down. She must have known something big had happened.

"The Shangshu family was brutally wiped out."

Rong Zhen told Gu Yunru the news, and Gu Yunru was also surprised. She never thought that this incident would happen so quickly. It must be the man in black last night! The man in black naturally would not recognize their identities, so they were safe for the time being. The answer to who was behind the scenes was obvious. Rong Zhen already had the answer in his mind, but he just didn't say it out loud.

"So what are you going to do next?" Gu Yunru grabbed his hand, knowing that he was also uneasy at the moment, and it was probably related to the matter at the Shangshu Mansion.

Rong Zhen met Xie Yihui on the way. He seemed to know everything. If these evidences were really handed directly to the emperor, it would not be easy to convict Xie Yihui. He must have been prepared and knew the evidence. Now that it has fallen into the hands of others, he probably has thought of a countermeasure.

If we pursue at this time, we may not achieve the desired effect.

"We must start with Xie Changming." Rong Zhen said this after careful consideration, observing Gu Yunru's expression.
