Qin Zongliang is playing with his son who has just learned to walk. He has a warm smile on his face. Anyone who looks at him will think that he is a loving father.
Seeing his confidant standing at the door of the courtyard, Qin Zongliang stood up and rubbed his son's head with an unchanging smile. He smiled and talked to the Crown Princess before walking out of the courtyard and taking his confidant into the study.
After entering the study, Qin Zongliang and Fang Cai looked completely different. Although their faces were expressionless, they were intimidating.
"What's the matter?"
"The people guarding Wangyou Pavilion came back and reported that there was a fire in Wangyou Pavilion and that Linglan was burned to death in the fire."
"Can you see the person who set the fire?"
"No, the fire suddenly broke out in the backyard. The place where the fire was set should be in Linglan's room."
Qin Zongliang: "It seems that Chu Chengyao found out that Linglan was aware of his sinister intentions, so he burned Linglan to death, and then put the blame on the Duke's palace, which not only silenced him but also allowed Hong Anbo to view the country. The Duke is a sworn enemy... Since he can burn Linglan to death, it means that he already has other witnesses in his hands, and the He brothers must have fallen into his hands. Please ask everyone at the city gate to withdraw."
"Yes, but the He brothers have already received the warning letter from Linglan, so how can they be at the mercy of Chu Chengyao?"
Qin Zongliang: "It's stupid. As long as Chu Chengyao threatens the life of one of them, the other will naturally not tell him in court. The two brothers also thought that Linglan was burned to death by the Duke's palace, so they would blame the country. The government is even more filled with hatred, Chu Chengyao just wants to watch the show."
The Second Prince's Mansion.
When Chu Chengyao learned that Linglan was burned to death, he cursed Qin Zongliang viciously. He had been using this move of the He family for several years, but it was completely destroyed easily! He was also exposed in front of others, and he became a fierce enemy of the Queen and even the Crown Prince!
Zhong Yi was outside the study, listening to the loud noise of Chu Chengyao smashing tables and chairs in the room, and couldn't help but feel afraid and worried: The master has never been so out of control...
Chu Chengyao stayed in the study all day, and when he came out again, his face was gloomier, but he was back to normal.
"The Duke's Office has begun to suppress me and ordered everyone not to touch me without permission, especially since the people in Fengming Mountain and Binzhou are all hiding. This time it will definitely not be easy. Maybe the business that has been hidden for several years will be destroyed. Once..."
Listening to Chu Chengyao's dejected words, Zhong Yi couldn't help but stepped forward to comfort him:
"Master keeps the green hills here, and is not afraid of running out of firewood. Even if the Duke's mansion is powerful, he is just a relative. He cannot kill you. Don't..."
Chu Chengyao turned to look at Zhong Yi. In the darkness, his eyes looked like a wild beast lying dormant waiting for prey.
"Do you think I'm afraid? I'm going to retreat? As long as I'm alive, I will never retreat. My father is still in good health, and I still have time to wait. Even if I can't succeed to the throne from my father, I will still take over from the new emperor. I have endured the humiliation and worked hard for many years to get my big position back, and this is what I deserve."
Chu Chengyao walked down the steps and stood in the courtyard looking up at the moon in the sky:
"Those who are determined to travel thousands of miles will not stop at the right path. Those who want to travel all over the world will harm the world by being small. I will never give up to others in this world. I will reach the top step by step. No one will dare to despise me. ! I want everyone to look up to me! Surrender at my feet!"
Zhong Yi knelt down on one knee and said devoutly: "Zhong Yi swears to follow His Highness to the death!"
Just when all parties in the Duke's government were investigating Chu Chengyao's shop farm and wantonly destroying and suppressing it, the emperor changed his previous lukewarm attitude towards Chu Chengyao and gave Chu Chengyao the unprecedented qualification to go to court.
