Chapter 123 Theoretical Possibility
"Boss, do you want to continue the investigation?" Liu Mofeng looked at Xiao Chen.
"How sure?" Xiao Chen asked without answering.
"Only 60%." Liu Mofeng is a person who talks about evidence. Although there are many evidences, he is still very cautious, but 60% certainty is already quite high for him.
"Check!" Xiao Chen said.
"The matter is of great importance. I think that before the investigation, Boss, you'd better go find Master Zhu in person." Liu Mofeng hesitated and said.
"Damn it? Zhu Xiaochuan couldn't have done this!" Wei Yuntian's chrysanthemum tightened suddenly.
"It's best not to be the one." Ye Baiqing was also a little nervous, and said a foul word in spite of himself.
"It's fine if it's him." Zhuge Xiaosheng said.
These words were really inexplicable, everyone was dumbfounded when they heard it, but Xiao Chen understood, didn't say anything, just let out a long breath lightly.
Early the next morning, Xiao Chen personally came to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to look for Zhu Xiaochuan, and straight to the point said that he wanted to investigate Jin Yiwei. The reason was that the assassins who assassinated the queen last time were all from the palace, and this time they couldn't be sure.
Zhu Xiaochuan was taken aback, what are you going to do, kid?
The last time it was just a few scattered assassins, it was already found out that they were all undercover agents of the Tianxuan Society. Later, the palace checked several times, and theoretically they had been cleared up.
There are more than 20 assassins this time, and there are at least 50 assassins. If they are all from Jin Yiwei, then am I not the leader of the rebels?
Xiao Chen didn't suspect that Zhu Xiaochuan was the leader of the anti-thieves, but he really suspected that Zhu Xiaochuan really did it.
The prince disobeyed the emperor several times, and the emperor was already extremely dissatisfied with him. There was even news that the emperor had intended to abolish him.
The abolition of the prince is a major event. To put it lightly, it is a father-son rivalry and fratricide. To put it more seriously, it shakes the foundation of the Great Zhou and shakes the political situation of the Great Zhou!
The ministers will never agree.
Now the relationship between Li Wanjiang and the ministers is already very tense. If he wants to abolish the crown prince again, then the court can't just mess it up?
As Li Wanjiang's hard-core confidant, Zhu Xiaochuan knew Li Wanjiang's thoughts well, maybe he would take the risk and send someone to assassinate the prince and pass it on to the Profound Sky Society. This would kill two birds with one stone and help Li Wanjiang solve two big problems.
Of course, this possibility is extremely small, but at least it is theoretically possible.
Now it seems that there are many possibilities for this matter...
"Master Hou, if you are a traitor, then there will be no one in Fengyang City who is loyal to the emperor!" Xiao Chen couldn't say this clearly, he could only go around in circles.
"It's good that you know!" Zhu Xiaochuan said.
"How many Jin Yiwei brothers are stationed in the palace?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Well, there are a total of more than a thousand of them all. They were just transferred from a few guards outside to change defenses. The leading general Hao Fei was also appointed by the emperor himself. This general Hao was the general of the Black Dragon Guard before. The captain of the emperor's personal army." Zhu Xiaochuan was somewhat emotional when talking about this matter.
"I just came back, so I really didn't know about it, but after what happened last time, the emperor was really frightened, so he did it out of prudence." Xiao Chen actually knew it, but he just said that.
"Don't say that, kid. I don't have any complaints against the emperor. It's better this way. I don't have to worry about things in the palace... To tell you the truth, that General Hao is the emperor's confidant and favorite general." , just listen to the emperor, and I can't control them, so if you want to investigate, go ahead and don't ask me." Zhu Xiaochuan said.
"How can this be done? After all, he is also your subordinate, why don't you follow me to investigate?" Xiao Chen came here to drag Zhu Xiaochuan into the water.
"Oh, I have a terrible headache!" Zhu Xiaochuan suddenly covered his head and cried out in pain, "Who, hurry up and find a doctor, run! It will hurt to death later!"
"It's not Hou Ye, you..." There were three black lines on Xiao Chen's forehead, what the hell are you pretending to be too obvious?
"I'm sorry, Brother Xiao, every time it comes to autumn, I suffer from headaches. In addition, I have worked too hard in the past few days, and this time I have a very serious problem. I feel like my head is going to explode at this moment. It's true. I can't talk with you anymore..." However, Zhu Xiaochuan was already in pain.
This big slicker!
Xiao Chen had no choice but to leave.
He ran to look for Wu Zicheng, the leader of the forbidden army. This guy went too far and disappeared. His subordinates said that Master Wu had gone out to inspect the surrounding garrison for defense.
When are you coming back? That's not sure, why can't it be ten days and a half months...
Your grandma has a leg!
Fengyang Mansion has no right to enter the palace to investigate the case, neither can Song Sheng and his detectives, and without Zhu Xiaochuan's order, it is impossible for them to enter the palace to investigate their own people.
Besides, who doesn't know that the Jinyiwei in the palace are all the emperor's confidantes, check them? Court death!
The Jinyiwei in the palace is actually a very special existence, they belong to the Zhenfu Division, and their immediate boss is meaningless Zhu Xiaochuan.
But the supervisor of ceremonies also has the right to control them, even when sending them to do some private affairs without Zhu Xiaochuan's consent, the supervisor of ceremonies can be responsible, because the supervisor of ceremonies is directly responsible to the emperor.
So when Xiao Chen came to Hao Fei as the Eunuch Bingbi, Hao Fei had to kneel down to greet him.
Hao Fei was about thirty years old, with a white face and beardless, no flesh on his cheeks, a hooked nose and triangular eyes, and he always had a vicious look in his eyes. He was not easy to get along with.
"General Hao please get up quickly, sit down and talk." Xiao Chen personally helped him up, with a smile on his face, showing such kindness.
"What is Xiao Gonggong doing here?" Hao Fei sat down without even saying a word of politeness, and directly asked Xiao Chen why he came, which was quite rude.
"Hehe, I just came back from escorting the imperial concubine to visit relatives, and I just found out that you, General Hao, are here to serve. We are all colleagues and brothers, and we will work together in the future, so I came here to have a look." Xiao Chen meant that since If you didn't go to see me, then I will come down to see you.
"Oh, I don't dare to take that lowly position." Hao Fei naturally heard the implication of Xiao Chen's words, but he didn't care.
"General Hao, you are too polite. By the way, I came back this time and brought a lot of local products, as well as a little filial money from Myanmar to our brothers. Although it is not much, it is also the heart of others. General Hao, you How many people are there in this guard? Do you have a roster? Let me take it out so that they can share among the brothers according to their heads."
Xiao Chen was still very polite, although he came to check his roster, he found a reasonable excuse.
Before the matter was fully investigated, he was unwilling to offend General Hao Fei.
After all, he is the emperor's confidant, but he himself is the emperor's confidant... a big problem.
"Eunuch Xiao, I would like to ask you to go there in person for such a trivial matter? You don't need to take the roster, just keep the money, and I will give you a receipt from the humble job, and I will distribute it to them later." He didn't even give him any face, and openly responded.
"Hao Fei, are you talking to our lord Xiao?" Wei Yuntian on the side had already endured him for a long time, seeing him so rude, he immediately scolded him.
