Hide And Cultivate In The East Palace, Only To Find The Prince Is A Girl - Chapter 962
Chapter 962: Emperor Xia’s Fury
After listening.
From the beginning to the end, Zhang Ronghua had been observing him. From his eyes, speed, and body reaction, he did not seem to be lying. He was confident that no one could hide it from him.
It was either Pang Yihai or Zuo Meng.
There were two reasons for this. First, Pang Yihai had a high position and authority. He was a Rank Two official and stood at the peak of power. He had all kinds of wealth and glory. The Pang family had many people and occupied an important position in the capital. Even if the Shang Dynasty tried to rope him in, what kind of bargaining chips could they offer? Minister of War? And it’s a Genuine Rank One? Without real power, with an empty official position, no one would do it as a mascot!
Second, Zuo Meng’s cultivation was extraordinary. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to climb to the position of a lieutenant of the Golden Scaled Mysterious Sky Army. He could steal the jade box and swap it out without even a breath when Pang Yihai was not paying attention. It would be difficult for Pang Yihai to discover it.
Pang Yihai tried his best to save himself and didn’t dare to address himself as his official.” Old Pei and I are in the same batch of examinees. Back then, we had some disagreements because of some matters. All these years, we have been fighting openly and secretly. However, he knows my character and is loyal to Great Xia. I will definitely not do anything to betray the country for glory.”
“I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter,” said Zhang Ronghua in a deep voice.
He waved his hand.
Two Human Sovereign Guards stepped forward and took him away.
Target confirmed!
“Bring me Zuo Meng’s file,” Zhang Ronghua ordered.
Very quickly.
The Human Emperor Guards sent his file over. It was very detailed. Zuo Meng was a direct descendant of the Zuo family. His father died on the battlefield. His uncle was Zuo Feng, the commander of the hussars, a third-grade official. He was in charge of training the ZhongTian camp, the fifth division of the city defense, and the troops transferred back from the border. He had a very high status and power. His wife was the Divine Envoy of the True Dragon Palace, Xiao Guyue.
The ZhongTian Camp was one of the five main camps of Great Xia, and it was responsible for guarding the capital and the surrounding regions.
Third Uncle Zuo Yan’s cultivation was extraordinary, at the first level of the Heaven Tier. He presided over the Zuo Clan’s daily affairs and was Zuo Feng’s right-hand man.
Zuo Meng’s wife was called Xiao Yan, Xiao Guyue’s distant niece.
After reading it, he closed it.
The Zuo family was very powerful. Standing at the top, one step further, they were the top nobles.
Countless unrelated lines spun quickly with his thoughts, forming a perfect net. After a while, Zhang Ronghua seemed to understand.
Some time ago.
Lei Daoyuan had killed Xiao Guyue and severely injured her, allowing her to escape. He had a grudge against her and just happened to meet her. Seeing that she was about to escape back to the True Dragon Palace, he secretly killed her and made her take the blame.
This matter had caused a huge ruckus at that time, but there was no result. Lei Daoyuan was still alive and well.
Not long ago.
Lei Daoyuan died tragically under the True Dragon Palace’s True Dragon Manifestation Fist, Jiu Xuanji took the blame, the officials hit him when he was down, and everyone beat him up. They lost all their face and were finally handed over to the Fentian Palace for investigation.
Combined with the Ferocious Sky Wolf, if it found the Zuo family and secretly made a deal to kill Lei Daoyuan in exchange for the Great Xia army’s defense map, everything would make sense.
However!
How did it know the True Dragon Manifestation Fist? He had even reached the realm of perfection in the five states? Could it be that the news was wrong?
After all, it was not his own investigation. It was inevitable that there would be some discrepancy based on the information sent by Changqing Academy.
Putting this aside, everything was reasonable.
After sorting out the clues, the two major cases were solved at the same time.
“Bring everyone and follow me!” Zhang Ronghua ordered.
He opened the palace door and took the lead to rush out. He used the Twelve Heaven Trampling Steps and only displayed the speed of an eighth-tier grandmaster as he rushed out of the palace.
Sima led the rest of the Human Emperor Guards and followed.
With such a huge commotion and so many people rushing out of the palace, the news quickly spread.
In the royal study.
The Xia Emperor was in a terrible mood. Even when he was sleeping, he was thinking about how to destroy the Shang Dynasty and take their territory into the territory of the Xia Empire. The officials in the court were actually helping outsiders and stealing the defensive map of the Xia army. Were they helping them destroy the Xia Empire?
It was a habit that he had developed over the years. No matter how important the matter was, he would never stop reading the memorials. Today, he changed his usual routine and did not pick up his pen.
They were furious. If it was on the battlefield, Great Xia would not be so angry after losing their territory.
But these bastards! Eating people without spitting out their bones, taking his salary and not doing anything. He simply deserved to be killed!
He had already done his best for them.
As long as the matter was done well, even though he knew that his butt was dirty, as long as he did not go too far, he would turn a blind eye and pretend that nothing had happened.
If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. People have desires. What is the point of being an official? Wasn’t it for the sake of glory and wealth? He didn’t care about these things.
Yet, they still wanted an inch and a yard. Did they really think that his saber was old and couldn’t move?
He sat on the dragon throne without saying a word. His dragon eyes were terrifyingly cold. Even if his martial arts were extraordinary, he did not dare to look at him!
Yiya!
The door of the hall was pushed open. Eunuch Xiao controlled his movements and entered. He closed the door and walked forward to stop.
When Wei Shang came down, he whispered into his ear.
Waiting for him to leave.
Wei Shang returned with a smile.” Your Majesty, there’s good news from Qinglin.”
“So fast?” The Xia Emperor frowned.
“I didn’t expect Qing Lin to be so capable. I didn’t expect the news to come so soon.”
Wei Shang told him about how Zhang Ronghua led the Human Emperor Guards out of the palace.
The Xia Emperor was happy, and the anger on his face dissipated a little. He said three words in a row,” Good!” Good! Alright!”
He said again.
“Pass down my order. Leave the Shan family behind for now. When the case of the Great Xia army’s defense map is settled, drag them to the market and cut them into pieces!”
“Yes, sir!” Wei Shang replied.
