Huang Zhang said with a serious expression: "Get up and talk!"
Hu Lie stood up and said with a guilty look on his face: "Your Highness, when the Qianya Army arrived in Fengtai City, King Pingnan knew that he was not our opponent. He was afraid that we would attack Fengtai City forcibly and punish him, so he took the initiative to send someone to surrender..."
"Then what?"
"Then... my man just entered the city and took over the city defense. King Pingnan... King Pingnan was assassinated!"
"What!" Huang Zhang was shocked.
"A king of Pingnan is dead like that?"
When Hu Lie heard this, he said strangely: "Yes, we thought at first that he would never have any trouble as the owner of Fengtai City, but we didn't expect..."
"Who did it?"
Hu Lie shook his head, "I heard that King Pingnan was about to leave the royal city. As soon as he walked out of the royal city, he was robbed and killed by a group of masked people."
"Where are those masked people?"
"Stay away!"
"Snap away? None of them were caught?"
Hu Lie shook his head, "Their strength is too strong. When my people arrived, they were all King Pingnan and the corpses of the land, and there were no ones in black inside."
Hu Lie was a little scared at this moment. After all, the eldest prince finally gave him a task, so he messed up like that. What did the eldest prince in front of him think of him?
Unexpectedly, Huang Zhang's expression calmed down and he patted Hu Lie on the shoulder.
Hand him the letter he had collected from the secret camp.
"Look, this is a letter from King Pingnan and the officials of the three Sunan counties who used to communicate with each other. I found it from King Pingnan's hidden troops."
Hu Lie was a little confused, why was the eldest prince's thinking so leaps? It seemed that he didn't take it seriously when King Pingnan died.
Huang Zhang continued: "This King Pingnan has had an affair with the officials of the three counties of Suguo, and has been in love with them. He is openly violating the laws of the country. He is really unpredictable and disrupting the laws and regulations. He is not to be jealous of death!"
Hu Lie immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Huang Zhang say this.
You should know that the person who died is not ordinary people. King Pingnan is the royal family of Su Kingdom. Although he is a king of a foreign surname, he is also a royal family. If he dies casually, he will have a great responsibility!
But looking at Huang Zhang's tone, it seems that he is not ready to punish himself!
"This King Pingnan does many evil deeds and dies. Perhaps the people of Fengtai City have a lot of complaints about him. If you send someone to copy these letters and then distribute them, you must let the people of Fengtai City know about the character of this King Pingnan!"
Seeing that Huang Zhang was not ready to punish him, Hu Lie looked happy and immediately shouted: "I understand, I'll go now."
As soon as Hu Lie left, Ban Hong seized the opportunity and walked in.
"Your Highness, I have completed the task you assigned."
Huang Zhang nodded, "It's a good job, no excuses."
Ban Hong said proudly: "That's right, this is my true job!"
"Okay, when you return to Wucheng, you will receive a lot of rewards."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
While the two were talking, Hu Yier hurriedly walked in.
Seeing that there were others in the camp, Hu Yier immediately realized something was wrong and prepared to retreat.
"No need, what's the matter, making you anxious like this?"
Under normal circumstances, Hu Yier has never been so anxious.
"Young Master, Mr. Zhuang is back."
Huang Zhang was stunned for a moment, "He will come back when he comes back. Is it necessary to be so excited?"
"No..." After saying that, Hu Yier glanced at Ban Hong.
When Ban Hong saw this, he was very conscious and sued Huang Zhang.
When he saw Ban Hong leave, Hu Yier immediately said, "Young master, it's not good, something happened to the second prince!"
"What?"
When Huang Zhang heard Hu Yier's words, he frowned.
When Zhuang Chengfeng came, he explained to Huang Zhang what he knew.
That night, he and Huang Zhang were watching stars on the roof together. They saw a rare phenomenon of starfall. At that time, Huang Zhang said a mantra.
[There will be disasters in July! The stars fall in the north and the people will suffer.]
Zhuang Chengfeng immediately wrote it down, and the next day, he found a way to get all the information about the north.
Zhuang Chengfeng used to receive commissions at Tianmen, so he naturally had the way to contact Tianmen.
Generally speaking, Zhuang Chengfeng only relies on this method to take on tasks for himself.
When Huang Zhang's words and that mantra were so tempting, he couldn't wait to know what this mantra meant.
After waiting for a few days, Zhuang Chengfeng finally got news from the contact person in Tianmen that the second prince of Su Kingdom was assassinated and died that night. The capital was shocked. Emperor Su bloodied the capital and imprisoned all those who might be involved. Many people were beheaded, and everyone in the capital was in danger!
Zhuang Chengfeng, who heard the news, ran back without saying a word.
At this moment, he had already believed in Huang Zhang's astrology.
After following Huang Zhang to practice stargazing for so long, he didn't understand the weather much. He was about to give up, but now he got the news that he realized that this stargazing is the art of the great way!
Huang Zhang was also a little surprised. He just thought something might have happened before and didn't take it seriously.
But now it seems that this is not a small matter.
After Huang Zhang heard that his second brother was assassinated, his first feeling was that the person behind him had taken action!
When he first arrived at Xiaocang Mountain, he was assassinated. The person who assassinated was Jia Yan, and the person who instructed Jia Yan was from the capital. However, before Huang Zhang could ask, Jia Yan was out of the blue.
He originally thought that the one who wanted to kill him was a person with a high position and power, perhaps the kind of person who could threaten his status.
The object he always doubted was the second prince. After all, in his memory, this second son was very capable, peaceful, generous and had a high prestige. But like himself, his identity belonged to the concubine's son, but his identity as a concubine's son was higher than himself.
He had previously guessed that the second brother wanted to kill him because he was the eldest brother. If he died, the second brother could naturally inherit the throne.
But now it seems that he guessed wrong!
Yes, he, a eldest prince from a distant border, robbed him with the second prince who was at his peak in the capital? Although they were all concubines, the relationship between concubines did not depend on the relationship between elders and young people.
Now that the second child is killed, the problem is even more confusing.
Could it be that the third brother?
But Huang Zhang turned around and rejected it. How old is the third child? The second child is one year younger than him, and the third child is five years younger than him.
The third brother's methods are not enough to compare with the second brother. What does he use to kill the second brother?
If it weren't for the third brother, who else could there be?
Can anyone, anyone want to rebel?
"Young Master, the situation in Beijing is now critical. Will it affect you?" Hu Yier said worriedly.
Hu Yier didn't think as much as Huang Zhang thought. She just felt that the second prince in Beijing was killed and the murderer had not been found for a long time. Then, the eldest prince who was making a big frenzy in Sunan might be suspected!
This is what Hu Yier fears the most.
Chapter completed!
