Chapter 345 Not living up to expectations
Chapter 345: Not Competitive
"I don't have much time. After tonight, the murderer of your father will sink back to the bottom of the water."
Zhao Fangyu was too calm. This girl, who was not even as tall as his chin, made the Jinyiwei speechless.
On the left is the emperor and the weak spot, and on the right is the weak spot and the weak spot.
Since Zhao Fangyu was able to expand her business to this extent, Pei Yan naturally knew that she was not a girl who could be easily deceived.
"Enough." Pei Yan almost bit his back teeth and spit out the word.
Putting Pei De's matter aside for now, just the fact that Zhao Fangyu knew there was another secret behind his father's death was something he had to find out.
Zhao Fangyu got a satisfactory answer and turned to go out. Pei Yan wanted to know the answer immediately, so he grabbed Zhao Fangyu and protected him by hanging over the wall.
In the dark night, Pei De fought silently with the hanging wall. Zhao Fangyu put on his cloak and slowly returned to his original position.
"Where are the things you brought back from Chenzhou?"
Pei Yan clenched his cheeks even tighter: "Nothing."
"But there is a witness."
"We have witnesses, so how come there is no confession?"
Zhao Fangyu felt that Pei Yan was very much like a large wild dog that had just been put on a collar and was unwilling to surrender.
"If you really don't want to do this business, don't lie to me."
"I am a businessman. Whether this business is done or not depends on you, not me."
Pei Yan: "...You are really good at stealing money and killing people!"
Zhao Fangyu stood still, but Pei Yan felt that she was praised and seemed to raise her gentle eyebrows.
She had a face like a lotus, and when she was in the palace, everyone thought she had a kind heart like a bodhisattva. But who would have thought that when she left the palace, she looked like a demon crawling out of the Yama Palace, demanding lives everywhere.
"The man could not speak, and his bones and muscles were all broken."
"The other healthy witness was taken away by your distant relative."
Zhao Fangyu had no impression of this incident.
She had little interaction with Mei Zhanhui, and she didn't even know that the other party had secretly brought back a witness from Chenzhou.
"What's the point of bringing back such a useless person?"
He can't speak and can't write, so he will be useless if brought back.
Since he was not with Pei Yan, he must have come back via another route.
Xuanbi felt ashamed, and the look he gave Pei Yan was like a knife.
But Xuanbi was not aware of the various secret codes between the Jinyiwei. There were many secret points under the Southern Pacification Division. It was enough for Xuanbi to keep an eye on Pei Yan.
"He can understand words and his eyelids can move."
"When we get to the imperial prison, we'll show him the tablet and ask him to identify it, and he'll be able to hand in a confession."
"This person has a deep grudge against Mei Zhanhui."
"The confession cannot point to Zhou Qinghe."
Once in the imperial prison, it would be Pei Yan's own territory.
"The Imperial Prison is your territory. Lord Pei wants to make a confession. Isn't it easy?"
Pei Yan was so angry that he wanted to laugh, but what Zhao Fangyu said was indeed true.
It's just that the risk is high.
"You should know which prince is behind the Chenzhou case. It's not the testimony, but the emperor's heart?"
"His Majesty hates the Second Prince because of something that happened many years ago. The Second Prince's existence is a thorn in his heart!"
Pei Yan was angry for a moment, and realized that he was somewhat out of control, which was completely different from the past...
He seems to be a little emotional today?
The next moment, he caught a glimpse of the round sachet hanging around Zhao Fangyu's waist. He had no idea how many spices were stuffed in it. It was round and bulging, like a small bun filled with stuffing.
Pei Yan understood what was happening and immediately put his hands behind his back, pinched his palms hard, and forced himself to calm down.
"I know."
"He hates the second son, but he doesn't want to kill him completely. He just wants to keep him like a pig or a dog and watch him live a miserable life. Such a despicable person is not worthy of being a father."
"He is mediocre and incompetent, yet he longs to be recorded in history as a wise ruler, but he is unwilling to work hard."
"He has incomprehensible dreams all day long. How much wealth could be ruined by such an emperor?"
"For a tragedy like Chenzhou's, he is unwilling to punish the real culprit behind it. What can we expect from him?"
Zhao Fangyu criticized the current emperor in front of the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
The moment Pei Yan closed his eyes, he pinched his palm with an additional ten points of force.
"You are a Jinyiwei, you know better than me that Daliang is facing internal and external troubles now."
"If there is another incompetent ruler like this, the fate of Daliang will be in jeopardy."
Zhao Fangyu cursed until he felt relieved, then turned around and said, "After your father died, Jiang Qianchi came to power, and the one who pushed him to the top step by step was the eldest prince."
"Your father didn't want to be in cahoots with the eldest prince, so he picked Jiang Qianchi who was willing to follow him, and the one who did it was also in the Jinyiwei."
"Your mother didn't die of depression."
"It's that the food conflicts with each other, and the special incense is used to arouse your mother's melancholy."
"How do you know this?"
Pei Yan didn't find out these things.
He knew that the eldest prince was most likely responsible for these things, but he never thought that his mother's death was not an accident!
Zhao Fangyu said nothing, adjusted his hood, and left after saying that he would send the list over in a few days.
She knew that this world was an extension of a time-travel novel. In the novel, how could she just leave the Crown Prince, who was an important male supporting role, alone just because he became a commoner?
Someone is always watching, never letting up.
Fortunately, she watched early enough to dig the person out.
After Zhao Fangyu left, Pei Yan couldn't calm down for a long time.
There was still a faint smell of incense in the room.
Was his mother also like this at that time, unable to calm down day and night after learning the sad news of her husband's death, tormented day and night, and finally died of depression because she could not bear it?
Pei Yan's eyes were like swords, staring at a direction in the void.
"...I'm really disappointed..."
