From the moment the Cheng family's carriage suddenly hit them, both Shi Dingfang and Zheng Ji knew something was wrong.
They waited and watched, just to know what Cheng Yong wanted to do.
What no one expected was that in the blink of an eye, three lives would be lost.
The Cheng family's coachman, Chang Ding led the soldiers, and... Cheng Yong, the veteran of the three dynasties!
Zheng Ji's face was filled with frost. He subconsciously looked up and glanced at the restaurants and teahouses on both sides of the street.
She didn't know how many people were watching this scene, but she knew that the person who secretly set up this game must be watching.
She still underestimated the ruthlessness of these people, but she didn't expect that these people would kill Cheng Yong in public.
Her eyes fell on Cheng Yong who fell on the ground.
Based on her understanding of Cheng Yong, this veteran of the Three Dynasties cherished his life very much and would never use his own death to make matters worse. So, did he know that he would die here today?
Cheng Yong suddenly fell to the ground and died. Anyone else would have been in chaos, but Zheng Ji could still maintain his composure and his mind was still thinking quickly.
She made Shi Dingfang and others calm down immediately.
Master Cheng died suddenly. No one expected this. The most important thing right now is to find out the cause.
Shi Dingfang was about to say something when he suddenly heard a heartbreaking cry.
"Grandpa! Grandpa!"
He followed the sound and saw a young man running over, his steps stumbling.
Shi Dingfang knew this young man, and he was not a general acquaintance.
This person is exactly Cheng Kezhen, the grandson of Cheng Yong!
Not long ago, Cheng Yong investigated him carefully and found that he was the one who made strange moves in the Cheng family.
First, the Cheng family's carriage collided, then Mr. Cheng fell to the ground and died, and then Cheng Kezhen appeared...
Shi Dingfang frowned and immediately wanted to step forward to stop him, but when he saw Zheng Ji shook his head, he stood still.
When Cheng Kezhen saw Cheng Yong's appearance, he paused, his eyes widened, and then he rushed over and cried sadly: "Grandpa, grandpa, what's wrong with you? Please respond to your grandson!" "
He shook Cheng Yong's still warm body, tears streaming down his face, and his cries reached the ears of everyone present.
Zheng Ji didn't know who this young man was at first, but after seeing Shi Dingfang's expression, he could guess it.
Is this Cheng Kezhen, the person who secretly instigated Cheng Yong to deal with the Zhang family?
It's really intriguing that he appears so coincidentally.
She didn't speak, Shi Dingfang and Chang Ding led the soldiers naturally didn't move, and the scene was quiet for a while.
Suddenly, Cheng Kezhen raised his head, looked at Zheng Ji with red eyes, and cried loudly: "Your Highness, you...were you the one who killed my grandfather? Your Highness, even if you are dissatisfied with the Cheng family, even if my grandfather offended you, but... ...and it will not lead to death, so why are you doing this?”
The crying words reached Shi Dingfang's ears, making him frown even more, but he never moved.
After hearing this, Zheng Ji felt ridiculous: Is this Cheng Kezhen's accusation? Nothing was clarified, but Cheng Kezhen said that she had killed Cheng Yong. Could it be that he was the one responsible for this crime?
Is this Cheng Ke's real intention to have Cheng Yong's death fall on her, or is this the intention of setting up a trap this time?
It seemed like this, but she was full of doubts.
The moment Cheng Kezhen appeared, she knew that this person was here to throw dirty water. She had countless ways to silence him, but she wanted to hear what this person said.
Therefore, she ordered Shi Dingfang to stay still and deliberately gave Cheng Kezhen a chance to speak in public.
She thought Cheng Ke would really say something, but the result was like this?
Shi Dingfang investigated and found out that the second emperor brother was behind Cheng Kezhen. So, this situation was set up by the second emperor brother?
The second emperor brother set up this trap just to accuse her of killing Cheng Yong?
Wouldn't it be too childish to do this?
Yes, Cheng Yong did die in front of her, and everyone saw it.
But just because it was in public, everyone heard that she just said a few words to Cheng Yong, how could she kill him?
She still didn't speak, but just glanced at Shi Dingfang.
Shi Dingfang understood, and then shouted loudly: "How dare you! Your Highness, how can you tolerate your slander? Your Highness happened to be talking to Mr. Cheng, and Mr. Cheng suddenly fell to the ground! Have you ever known your crime for slandering His Highness?"
Cheng Kezhen cried and laughed: "I don't know the crime! I only know that my grandfather is gone! He disappeared after saying a few words to His Highness!"
Shi Dingfang did not panic and followed his words: "In that case, please invite officials from Jingzhao Mansion and the Ministry of Punishment!"
When he said this, he was so angry that he raised his voice to ensure that people upstairs on both sides of the street could hear him.
"We will also go back to the palace to report this matter to the emperor and the noble concubine. The emperor will definitely send someone to find out what happened." Li Xing'en continued what Shi Dingfang said.
Zheng Ji nodded and finally spoke: "In that case, I'll wait here for a long time. People from the Criminal Department and the palace should be here soon."
After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the carriage without looking at Cheng Kezhen who was crying on the ground.
Cheng Kezhen's crying stopped for a moment, and he stopped talking. He only looked down at his grandfather and burst into tears again.
The tears were really shed.
How could he not be sad when his grandfather was gone?
But the matter is now over, what the master asked him to do has been done, and the rest is no longer his business.
What will the master do next?
Zheng Ji, who was sitting in the carriage, was also thinking: What will happen next?
So far, she could only guess that the person behind it was using Cheng Yong's death to deal with her. But everyone knew there was something wrong with Cheng Yong's death. How could this crime fall on her?
She was the noble Princess of Changding. Even if she was dissatisfied with Cheng Yong, she would not go so far as to kill him in public. She was not crazy.
Who would believe it?
Since this is something so ridiculous that no one would believe it, why would the person behind it set up such a trap? It’s not like I’m full and holding on.
There must be something she overlooked, but she couldn't think of it at the moment.
Soon, the people from Jingzhao Mansion arrived.
The person who came was none other than Young Yin Cui Xie, who had a great crush on her.
However, Cui Xie was stunned after seeing this scene.
He, a Shaoyin, couldn't handle this matter at all!
After the officials from the Jingzhao Mansion and the Ministry of Punishment arrived, a rumor spread quietly in the court. They were saying that Princess Changding was at odds with Cheng Yong, and she poisoned Cheng Yong in public just to set an example and establish Princess Changding as a warning. of prestige.
At this time, a person paid his respects to Princess Changding's Mansion.
After receiving the invitation, the concierge Wang Cong was very puzzled: Why does this lord suddenly want to pay homage to His Highness?
