Chapter 253 Setting up a trap (Update 1)
Zhou You was the Guanglu Temple Secretary who poisoned the horses during the polo match.
During the first interrogation, he said that he was instructed by Zhao Hanguang, but later he suddenly changed his statement and stabbed Han Tong in the back.
There has been a lot of noise between the Han and Ye families in the capital recently, and it was all caused by this.
With his death, the poisoning case became a complete unsolved case.
"Really?" Shen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Seeing his expression, Feng Zhang began to feel nervous again.
He had always thought that Zhou You was this person's man, but looking at his reaction now, it seems that he is not?
Feng Zhang hesitated to speak.
Chen Yanchuan, on the other hand, had a frank and open expression and poured him a cup of tea.
"King Lie will be back soon."
"What?"
Feng Zhang was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
"By the way, I heard that he just led his troops to victory not long ago. Calculating the time, it is time for him to return to the capital to receive his reward."
The third prince, Xiao Chengqi, was born in a humble family, but he had managed to gain considerable reputation in the army over the past few years, and was even showing signs of competing with the second prince.
Some time ago, he led his army to fight against Xiliang and was unable to return home even for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Once that person comes back, I'm afraid the capital will become even more chaotic..."
Feng Zhang looked at Shen Yanchuan. As far as he knew, this person had not yet joined any party, and he didn't know...
"If he doesn't want Han Tong to die, then this matter may still have a chance of turning around."
When Shen Yanchuan said this, Feng Zhang was stunned on the spot.
"How could this be? Han Tong and His Royal Highness Prince Lie have no connection, and Han Tong is——"
His voice stopped abruptly.
How could I forget!
Han Tong is the second prince’s man!
If this matter continues to be investigated, Han Tong will definitely be turned inside out, and by then there is a high possibility that the Second Prince will be implicated!
At this time, he was the one who wanted Han Tong to die the most!
At the same time, the one who wanted to save Han Tong's life and continue the thorough investigation was the third prince!
Could it be that... all of this was planned by someone thousands of miles away?
Feng Zhang's expression changed and many thoughts flashed through his mind.
"Sir, you are in charge of this case, but it has been several days and there is still no conclusion. What is going on?"
Chen Yanchuan raised his thin lips slightly.
"Lord Han wants to make amends for his crime, so we naturally have to give him this opportunity."
"What?"
Feng Zhang was completely confused.
Shen Yanchuan paused, and tapped the armrest lightly with his slender jade-like fingers. His tone was lazy and casual, but his words were like thunder, exploding in Feng Zhang's ears!
"General Huo was mentioned in Han Tong's previous testimony."
Feng Zhang stood up in shock!
…
Crash——!
Emperor Mu Wu's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it. He suddenly raised his hand and threw the case file out!
Hearing the noise, all the palace servants knelt down. Eunuch Li was even more frightened and hurried forward to persuade him, "Your Majesty, calm down!"
Emperor Mu Wu was furious:
"This Han Tong is so bold!"
Eunuch Li quickly glanced at it with the corner of his eye. It was the Han Tong file that the Prince of Dingbei Marquis and the Dali Temple had just jointly submitted.
Even though His Majesty had heard before that Han Tong had embezzled a huge amount of gold and silver, he had not been so angry. What on earth did he see now that made him so angry?
As soon as Concubine Ru arrived in the courtyard, she faintly heard Emperor Mu Wu's angry voice coming from inside the house.
She took two quick steps and was about to go in to persuade him, when she saw the door suddenly open and Eunuch Li hurriedly retreated.
At the same time, there was also the angry roar of Emperor Mu Wu.
"Go and call the King of Qi over to me now!"
Concubine Ru's heart skipped a beat!
