Chapter 656; Who could it be?

"It's a bomb again. What do these bastards want to do?"

Emperor Hongwen was very angry.

Even though he was asking what these guys wanted to do, he understood very well in his heart.

Bombs must be a weapon in future wars. If there is a war, there will be meritorious deeds. Those ministers who want to get bombs just want to take a further step in their career.

And some of them are here to help the master behind them.

For example, the second prince, the second prince has been very active recently.

However, Emperor Hongwen was quite satisfied with his activity.

Although he knows what these guys are planning, Lu Yaoyao has already said that if you have the ability, just buy it. It is simply a shame to use such vile behavior.

Besides, the reason why he re-appointed King Jin was simply to let him accumulate reputation in preparation for giving up the throne in the future.

As long as King Jin's reputation is high enough and many people support him, then his abdication can go smoothly.

Now that this rumor has come out, won't it destroy all the reputation accumulated by the Jin Dynasty kings in the past few times?

What's more important is his daughter Lu Yaoyao. If this rumor continues to spread, won't she become the anti-princess?

"Let Huo Di investigate clearly for me who spread the news. Once found, he will be punished on the spot."

Wang De quickly accepted the order and retreated.

"Idiot, how many times have I told you not to provoke her? Even if you want to provoke her, now is not the time."

"Go ahead and be honest. If this happens again, the cooperation will be terminated."

"And get rid of Yan Zuo, don't leave any flaws."

On that day, two secret letters were sent from the Duke's Mansion.

The next day, news spread in the capital that Yan Zuo, the former minister of the Ministry of Industry, was drunk and fell into a pond in the palace and drowned.

Regarding Yan Zuo's death, it did not cause any commotion. After all, he was just a former minister of the Ministry of Works who had lost his power. In addition, during the past period, he was drunk everywhere every day and drank like mud.

It's normal to stumble when you're drunk.

What is worth mentioning is that with the death of Yan Zuo, the topic that was originally abuzz in the capital that King Jin was suspected of treason was unknowingly replaced by praise of King Jin's recent achievements.

Even the things Lu Yaoyao did for the people were once again revealed and publicized.

There was a topic of merit, and those who were originally suspected of having evil intentions were quickly suppressed.

"Interesting, it seems that some people in this capital are really ready to take action."

Although the rumors outside have been broken now, there is no trace of relaxation or happiness in Lu Yaoyao's expression.

Anyone with a discerning eye can clearly see what happened this time. Someone is behind the scenes.

It's just that for some unknown reason, they suddenly gave up their original plan and started to clear their name.

Of course, this does not rule out the possibility of someone secretly helping, but the information obtained from Hou Si confirmed that the person who spread the rumor and the person behind the whitewash should be the same group.

The reason why I say this is naturally because neither of them left any traces.

It’s okay to spread rumors without leaving any trace. This is because you are afraid of being found and dealt with, but it is a good thing to help clear your name, and it is also an opportunity to build a relationship with Lu Yaoyao.

I don't know how many people in Beijing hope to get such an opportunity, but this person is afraid of being investigated.

She had done good things but was afraid of being found out. If she said there was no problem, she wouldn't believe it.

But she really couldn't figure out who was causing the monster.

"Miss, I also heard the news that Yan Zuo is dead."

"Yan Zuo? Who is it?"

Lu Yaoyao frowned a little, as if he didn't remember who Yan Zuo was.

"It's the former Minister of Industry, Yan Zuo, who forced you to hand over the bomb-making method in court."

"Oh? It's him. Why did he die so suddenly? I was thinking that after being so busy for a while, I would find a chance to clean things up."

It's no wonder that she didn't remember this guy. In fact, she was a little busy during this period. On one side, she was busy preparing for the housewarming party, and on the other side, she was a little troubled by the messy rumors in the capital.

"I heard that he was drunk and drowned. Do you think it's strange? I asked Hou Si. He said that the day this man died was the day when the rumors about you and King Jin began to change."

"Um?"

Lu Yaoyao suddenly became interested and asked carefully, but Qiu Yu didn't understand.

"Go and ask someone to call Hou Si, and I'll ask him directly."

Soon Hou Si came.

Upon hearing Lu Yaoyao's inquiry about Yan Zuo, Hou Si immediately explained everything he had investigated and heard.

"Two days before Yan Zuo's death, someone passed away at home, but that person's subordinates did not follow him."

"My subordinates suspect that the rumors this time were most likely started by Yan Zuo, and that they were instigated by others."

"My subordinates have been keeping track of this matter during this period, but there is no news yet."

Lu Yaoyao nodded, feeling more and more sure that there might be some demons and monsters lurking secretly in the capital today.

It's just that these guys are more cautious and can't catch their tail yet.

However, she wasn't in a hurry. Since there were already clues, she couldn't hide them.

"Continue to pay attention to the investigation. If there is any news or any discovery, you will report it."

"I want to see who is targeting me like this."

Hou Si responded and stepped back.

Lu Yaoyao alone sorted through all the people in the capital who might have offended her and who had the ability and courage to target her.

The first one on the list was naturally Prince Ning, but as soon as the name appeared in her mind, she passed it by.

As for the current Prince Ning, not to mention whether he has such ability, but just speaking of his brain, I'm afraid he can't do such a thing without leaving any trace.

If Prince Ning had been smart, he would not have ended up like today.

Except for Prince Ning, that is the Wu family. Although the Wu family has been destroyed, as an old family for so many years, the relationships behind the scenes are so complicated that someone knows if something slipped through the net.

Then there are Prince Yun and the Lin family, people she once dealt with.

But after thinking about it, she felt that most of these people did not have such ability and courage.

After all, she is now at the peak of her power, and with the King of Jin having military power, this is the most powerful time. It is very unwise to trouble her at this time.

However, although she thought it was unlikely, she still asked Qiu Shuang to inform Hou Si to pay more attention to this news.

In addition to these people who had enmity with her, she also wanted to list some people who had no conflict with her.

After all, in the officialdom, King Jin has risen too fast in recent times, and some of his positions have been taken away by his people. Many people have worked hard for many years to climb up, and now someone suddenly appears and takes them away.

, how could it not be resentful?
