Zheng Ji took the brocade handkerchief handed over by Li Xing'en and asked calmly: "Tell me carefully, who is it?"
She is now focused on training in Guichang, and has no time to worry about other things, leaving everything to trustworthy people.
Shi Dingfang has been staring at the Cheng family in Guide Lane.
Even though Zhang's mother and daughter had been placed in Princess Changding's Mansion, he did not relax his surveillance of the Cheng family.
After working hard day and night, he finally achieved something.
"Your Highness, the person behind Cheng Yong is his grandson Cheng Kezhen. Cheng Keyi's half-brother." Shi Dingfang replied.
The Cheng family is so large and has many children, so of course he has a few targets to monitor.
One of them is Cheng Kezhen.
The reason is also very simple. According to the principle of whoever benefits, if Cheng Keyi completely leaves the Cheng family, then Cheng Kezhen will get the greatest benefit.
However, Shi Dingfang previously thought that Cheng Kezhen was still young and not that capable.
Who would have thought that the Cheng family is indeed talented, and besides Cheng Keyi, Cheng Ke is really so awesome!
The will to be forbearing and restrained, the vicious and cruel methods, and the words that are good at lying. These are Shi Dingfang's feelings about Cheng Kezhen after his investigation.
Zheng Ji took the brocade handkerchief and paused for a moment: "Cheng Kezhen?"
To be honest, she wasn't very impressed by the name.
In his previous life, Cheng Keyi hated everyone in the Cheng family. After he devoted all his efforts to deal with the Cheng family, everyone in the Cheng family was retaliated against without distinction. They were all imprisoned and executed in an accident.
She had heard of the name Cheng Kezhen before, but she only knew that he was Cheng Keyi's half-brother.
Didn't expect that he was the one pushing the Cheng family?
Thinking about Cheng Keyi's age, then this Cheng Ke is really even younger.
At this age, no matter how smart you are, if you don't have enough resources behind you, you won't be able to accomplish anything.
"Who is behind him?"
"It's his grandson's family. His uncle Sun Xuan had a lot of contacts with Tang Zaizhi, the nephew of Concubine De," Shi Dingfang replied.
This was something he found out after a lot of effort.
Both Cheng Kezhen and Sun Xuan were extremely cautious people. If he hadn't been following him for days, he would never have thought that Sun Xuan would still have contacts with the Tang family.
The Tang family has been traced, which means that behind Cheng Kezhen, it is most likely Concubine De and Prince Ping.
This result was beyond Zheng Ji's expectation.
Concubine De has always been indifferent to the world, and the second emperor's brother, Prince Ping, is even more ordinary. In his previous life, until she entered the imperial edict to kill Song Zan, Prince Ping did not show any special talents.
But this life is different.
First, regarding the Spring Silkworm Ceremony, Qi Hongzhen, the Prime Minister of Taichang Temple, confessed that she was ordered by Prince Ping, and then when Weiwei Temple lost its weapons, Prince Ping stopped her and induced her to investigate the Prince's Mansion.
Regarding the Spring Silkworm Ceremony, Concubine De and Prince Ping were indeed suspicious, but Qian Gu had placed so many spies in the palace and found nothing unusual about Concubine De. ..
As for the loss of Weiwei Temple's weapons, the final point is to seek the official position of Weiwei Temple.
As an adult prince, it is very possible that Prince Ping would like to hold an official position.
Now, the Cheng family's back is still pointing to the second emperor's brother, Prince Ping.
Things can be one, two, or three.
It seems that King Ping does have a big problem.
However, Zheng Ji didn't think there was anything in him that Prince Ping could target like this. After all, the Jiang family never participated in matters between princes.
If Prince Ping wants to ascend to the great throne, he must at least win over the Jiang family first. How can there be any reason to directly hate the Jiang family?
This is also the reason why Zheng Ji has been unable to confirm that these were really done by King Ping.
Zheng Ji was silent for a moment, and then asked: "This clue obviously points to Prince Ping, do you think it is him?"
"..." Shi Dingfang scratched his head and replied with his big eyes: "Uh, Your Highness... my subordinates are not sure about this at the moment."
He's just a military attaché
That's it, he can find out the nephew of Empress Dowager De, but when it comes to power struggles, he really doesn't know how!
Having said that, when Qin Zhou left Beijing, did he still want to be a counselor?
If this is the case, then it is really difficult for His Highness to earn money.
Zheng Ji smiled, waved his hand and said, "I understand, please step back."
Yes, both Shi Dingfang and Qin Zhou are military attachés. They can find out who the final clues point to, but making accurate judgments is not their business.
There is still a lack of people around her.
At this time, she missed Cheng Keyi in her previous life.
Although Cheng Keyi goes crazy every month, he is still very powerful and helps her a lot when it is not half a month.
The most suitable person who can make an accurate judgment on this matter is Cheng Keyi.
After all, this is the Cheng family's business.
She wiped her hands with a brocade handkerchief and looked at Li Xing'en aside: "How is Mrs. Zhang doing now?"
"Back to Your Highness, Ms. Zhang is practicing martial arts hard in the martial arts arena. Both mother and daughter are fine." Li Xing'en replied.
Whether it is Mrs. Zhang or the little girl, they all like Changding Princess Mansion very much and have adapted to it.
Zhang is obviously more confident and energetic, completely different from when she first arrived.
Zheng Ji nodded: "That's good."
Mrs. Zhang and her daughter are at Princess Changding's residence, so they are not afraid that Cheng Ke will not come.
She doesn't plan to actually use Cheng Keyi now, but if Cheng Keyi wants to pick him up, he will have to pay a price.
She was indeed free at the moment, and it was difficult to judge what Prince Ping was doing from time to time behind the Cheng family.
It’s not even that short of time.
Cheng Keyi will return to Jingzhao soon. It is up to Cheng Keyi to end this mess in the Cheng family.
"Send the information found by Shi Dingfang to your second uncle for his judgment and investigation." Zheng Ji ordered.
At the same time, Cheng Kezhen hurried to see his uncle Sun Xuan.
The so-called nephew is like an uncle, Cheng Ke is really good-looking, and Sun Xuan also looks harmless.
He is nearly forty years old, has a beautiful beard, and looks and behaves calmly.
"Uncle, my grandfather has been busy dealing with His Highness Changding, and he can't take care of the Zhang family and his daughter. My good brother is about to return to Jingzhao, what should I do?"
Cheng Ke was really anxious.
His good brother is so wise that he is almost a monster. If he investigates carefully after returning to Beijing, he will definitely find out that he has done something behind his back.
"Stay steady. Are you careful when doing things? Is there anything careless?" Sun Xuan patted his shoulder and consoled him.
Infected by his calm tone, Cheng Kezhen calmed down a little. He thought about it carefully and replied: "My grandfather handled this matter himself, and I had no involvement in it."
From the beginning to the end, he didn't participate and kept himself clean.
Sun Xuan nodded and replied with a smile: "Isn't that okay? As long as you stay steady, you won't be afraid of anything. No matter how powerful Cheng Keyi is, he can't understand the details."
"But..." Cheng Kezhen still couldn't completely rest assured. He looked around and lowered his voice and said, "Uncle, where is the master..."
"Be careful what you say!" Sun Xuan cut off his words and his face suddenly darkened.
