Immediately, Zheng Ji overturned his guess.
If the bandits in Liyun Village really obeyed Zheng Xun's orders, then he would not be standing here at this moment.
Yuncong had already made arrangements for the bandits in Liyun Village in advance, so maybe those people were performing some mission at the moment.
If they really obeyed Zheng Xun's orders, he should be busy with other things at the moment.
How could he have the time to come to Liyun Village where there are no more people?
Maybe Liyunzhai or Yuncong were originally people of Zheng Xun, but that may not be the case now.
She did not hide her feelings, and Zheng Xun saw that her shock was fleeting, and he knew that she understood clearly.
Before he even had time to say anything, she already guessed the outcome of the matter.
Sure enough, Chang Ding is not ordinary smart.
It's really strange. When he was the third prince, how could he think that Chang Ding was just a stupid person relying on his father's favor?
I also want to use her as a stepping stone...
He didn't know why he was so naive before... oh, no, stupid.
He is the really stupid person!
If he hadn't been stupid, how could he have fallen to this point?
He composed himself and became more determined in what he originally planned to do.
If you are long-term and intelligent, you will definitely be able to fulfill his mission!
"Chang Ding, the matter has come to this, and I will not hide it from you. When my father deprived me of my title and demoted me to a commoner, it was difficult for me to accept it, but I was the one who got it in Yinzhou, Shannan Road. All because of..."
He smiled bitterly and said: "My mother-in-law and the Zhou family have been secretly operating in Yinzhou, Shannan Road for a long time. I plan to make a comeback from here...ahem..."
After receiving this, he started coughing again and it took a while to stop.
Once again, Zheng Ji saw the red marks on his fingers becoming more and more obvious.
Maybe it was because his body was really weak, but he spoke in pauses and continuations.
Just as he said, he didn't want to hide it anymore, so he revealed everything.
There are some things that Zheng Ji knows, and there are some things that she doesn't know.
Because she had resurrected her life, she did know that Zheng Xun was demoted to Yinzhou, Shannan Road and did not stop, and in the end he committed a heinous crime.
But she didn't know that the Zhou family had established its presence on Shannan Road more than ten years ago.
Shannan Road is connected to Gyeonggi Road, which not only avoids the many eyes and ears of Jingzhao, but also is the closest to Jingzhao. If anything happens to Jingzhao, we can rush there.
Therefore, more than ten years ago, the Zhou family selected Liyun Village in Lizhou after careful planning.
"Everyone knows that the Zhou family has a very high prestige in the scholarly community, and is well received by the scholars. However, both the Zhou family and the mother and concubine feel that to ascend to that position, reputation alone is not enough."
The power of articles and scholars is indeed infinite, but what the Zhou family wants to do is naturally opposed to scholars.
Scholars have read so many books by sages and learned martial arts and sold them to the emperor's family. This is the greatest pursuit of scholars.
Now that the country is at peace and the prince is outstanding, the emperor's family in their hearts is the prince.
If the Zhou family wants to support Zheng Xun in power, no matter how prestigious it is, they will definitely encounter opposition from scholars.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Zhou family, the reputation of being a scholar is not enough; one must control the power in the military.
The Zhou family read too many books. From the past to the present, they knew very well that for an ordinary prince to ascend the throne, support from the military was indispensable.
Therefore, they selected Shannan Guard and Liyun Village.
"More than ten years ago, the withdrawal of the Shannan Weilizhou Camp from Liyun Village was arranged by the Zhou family and my mother-in-law..."
More than ten years ago, Zheng Xun was just a child. What could he know and do?
Therefore, all the arrangements here in Lizhou, Shannan Province were made by the Zhou family and Concubine Zhou Shu.
"My mother and concubine live in the deep palace for a long time, and all they can rely on is the Zhou family. Therefore, I always thought that all the arrangements here on Shannan Road were made by my grandfather and uncles.
made……"
Think?
Zheng Ji captured this word keenly.
Does this mean that it is wrong?
If it wasn't the Zhou family, then the person who really planned all this was Concubine Zhou Shu?
How could a concubine in the palace be so capable and be able to arrange things for more than ten years?
Suddenly, she heard Zheng Xun ask her: "Chang Ding, what do you think my mother-in-law is like?"
What kind of person is Zhou Shufei?
She really didn't know how to answer this question.
Concubine Zhou Shu was demoted to Zhou Meiren because of Zheng Xun's incident, and was subsequently diagnosed with pregnancy. Logically speaking, her life in the palace would not be too difficult.
However, she wanted to kill Zheng Xun!
Because of this, she was imprisoned by her father even though she was pregnant, and eventually died unexpectedly.
Who killed Concubine Zhou Shu is still a mystery.
But she also knew that if Concubine Zhou Shu wanted to kill her son, she must have some plans.
Unfortunately, with the death of Concubine Zhou Shu, all of this has been lost.
Why would Zheng Xun ask this question now?
Zheng Xun patted his forehead as if he had thought of something, and said with a faint smile: "Oh, I forgot, you are not particularly familiar with the concubine. By the way, did you see the death of the concubine?"
His tone was too casual and light, not a son's respect for his mother at all, but rather a subtle mockery.
Zheng Ji pursed her lips. These words had revealed a lot. The truth was about to come out, but she couldn't accept it for a moment.
It is true that the Tian family is ruthless, but...
A mother kills her son, and a son kills his mother. This...is really rare!
She was furious in her heart, but she couldn't help but ask: "Did you kill Meiren Zhou?"
Zheng Xun shook his head and said with a smile: "Chang Ding, why do you think so? You must have forgotten, right? When the mother-in-law died, I was no longer in Jingzhao, how could I kill her?"
He coughed hard several times and was silent for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying, "Although, I also want to kill her."
He Ding looked at Zheng Ji, his turbid eyes bursting with hatred, and he looked extremely terrifying: "Chang Ding, can you believe it? It's all because of my mother and concubine that I'm like this!"
"It's her! She poisoned me a long time ago!"
He held his hands tightly and looked like he was crazy.
Because he was so excited, he couldn't help but bend over and cough.
I don't know if it was because of his anger, but this time he didn't have time to reach out and wipe it, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Dots of blood fell on the white snow, which was extremely eye-catching and strange.
"Chang Ding, did you know? The doctor said that I... won't live to celebrate the New Year. Haha, I'm only in my twenties, and I already have no way out!"
Zheng Ji looked at him throwing his head back and laughing, and felt a little unbearable for some reason.
Indeed, the Third Emperor Brother is still so young.
Even though she didn't know much about medical skills, she could tell that Brother Sanhuang was in bad condition.
Maybe, instead of not surviving the New Year, I won't be able to survive even these few days.
So, he was in Liyun Village to explain his affairs?
But how did he know she was here?
