"Huh?" His Highness was stunned for a moment after hearing what Ah Piao said, "Why do you think this matter has something to do with him?"
"The most important point is that in the current situation, if there were no people outside deliberately releasing water, and no people inside taking charge of guiding them, there would be no chance for the men in black to run from outside the city into the city, let alone the possibility of running into the palace. . Moreover, I think their purpose is not as simple as what my aunt said. It should be to hide His Highness and cause chaos in the city, and then the Crown Prince will take advantage of it." A Piao raised his eyebrows at a few people, " You all know that the prince is the dominant one among the three parties outside the city. If we really fight for strength, he will not lose. So, once it is reported that His Highness is missing, will he take a preemptive strike? "
"Prince Qin?" Thinking of the prince's shameless style, Hei Lu'er sneered, "This is really something he can do. However, do you have any basis for making such an inference? You can't just slap your head and say this. Does it have something to do with him?"
"It's no secret that he already had ambitions, but he hid it well. Before Prince Wanyan passed away, he didn't know that his son had such great abilities. The prince knew very well that the prince was stubborn and was absolutely If he doesn’t want to fight for the throne as he wishes, he must rely on himself if he wants to get the chair.”
"That's right. So, after the prince passed away, he tore off the mask and revealed his true nature."
"That's right." Ah Piao stood up and slowly walked around the room, "Like Master Hei just said, I didn't doubt him for no reason. Although there is no direct evidence to prove that he is related to the Japanese pirates, But there is more or less relevant evidence.”
"Are you sure it's evidence and not speculation?" Seeing A'Piao nod, His Highness thought for a while, "Then let's hear it."
"Almost...well, it should be five years ago, after the Chinese New Year, almost at this time, you told me that the Wanyan family is in great chaos now, and the clan members have reached the extreme of arrogance. People in the Yan family are acting recklessly and taking human life seriously, and if they are left alone, there will be big problems."
"Yes, I said that." His Highness nodded, "Continue."
"So, you decided to clean up the Wanyan family before big problems or uncontrollable events arise. Regardless of whether they have a title or an official position, or even if they are just an ordinary clan member, their past must be strictly scrutinized. The investigation must identify those who are bold and have bad conduct, and use them to warn other people not to go too far, otherwise, these people will serve as a warning to others."
"Yes, I said this. I meant to scare the monkeys, and I planned to use these scum to establish my authority. However, what you don't know is that the reason for this investigation is because I received complaints for seven consecutive days. Letters, every letter contains blood and tears." She looked at Hei Lu'er, "You know this, tell me about it!"
"Master Hei knows?" A Piao looked at Hei Lu'er curiously, "What are the contents of these letters?"
"The letters of accusation received by His Highness are all anonymous, and the things stated in them..." Hei Lu'er shook his head gently, "Even a hard-hearted person will be frightened after reading it."
"That's right." His Highness nodded, "This was my reaction when I saw those letters."
"In order to ensure the authenticity of the contents in the letter, His Highness sent me to conduct an investigation. Before the investigation, we all held the idea of luck. If it was not true, that would be the best. But unfortunately, after the investigation, I , confirming that the case described in the letter really happened."
"Not only did it happen, but the situation is more serious than what was stated in the letter." His Highness added.
"Yes, it was because of the cases in the letter that His Highness made the decision to investigate the Wanyan family." Hei Luer glanced at A Piao, "Your Excellency is responsible for investigating the Wanyan family, and I am responsible for it. The investigation of people other than these clan members, including their classmates, teachers, in-laws, family friends, etc., and even merchants who have close ties with the mansion are also within the scope of the investigation. Because we are investigating the complaint letter. During the process, it was discovered that some of the tribesmen involved did not have titles or official positions. They were all unknown people. However, it was not them who committed the crime, but people related to them, such as relatives. some type of."
"When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."
"Master A Piao is right, that's what it means. In the letters we collected, these tribesmen clearly stated that if you do it boldly, you don't have to worry about anything. Even if something goes wrong, the Wanyan family will still be there for them. Support me." Hei Lu'er looked at His Highness, "His Highness decided to check it out only after reading these letters. His Highness was originally worried, but no one had been stopping her from causing such a big fuss, right? "
"Yes, I remember that the old bastard has been saying that it would not make the trouble known to everyone. Just deal with these tribesmen silently." His Highness nodded, "I originally thought that it would not be a big deal. , but when I saw these letters, I was really angry. I handed the letters to the old bastard, and to my surprise, he also exploded. He told me to go ahead and check if there was anything wrong, and he would tell me Carrying it around." At this point, a sneer flashed across her face, "This is the only time in history that he has made a decision to stand by me. The reason why he made such a decision was entirely because of those daring people who touched him. When it comes to his reputation and interests, he just doesn't want to tolerate it. However, I asked Ah Piao to investigate, and Ah Piao also felt very hesitant, saying that the tribe was a little disgusted with me. If he was discovered, this resentment and resistance would I have risen to a new level. I dare not do anything on the surface. There will definitely be a lot of small actions in private, which will be very detrimental to me, right?" Seeing Ah Piao's slight nod, she chuckled, "Then Do you remember what I said?"
"You said..." Ah Piao frowned slightly, "The pure will become pure themselves, and the dirty will become dirty. There is no problem. Even if they know that you are investigating, they will be honest, and those who are not clean in private will definitely jump out. of."
"am I right?"
"Yes. Facts have proved that His Highness is right. Those who are the happiest are the ones with the most serious problems."
"That's right." His Highness nodded, "But, when you mentioned this today, does it have something to do with that guy? I remember that I also investigated him at the beginning, but there was nothing gained. At the beginning, he was still an idler. The heir apparent, he doesn’t have many friends, and he doesn’t have any particularly close contacts. Those who have a pretty good relationship with him and can talk to him are all people close to Brother Wang. Moreover, he doesn’t have any property in his name. All of his properties bear the name of the Royal Palace. Because of this, we didn’t waste too much time on him.”
"That's because we were not aware of his ambition at the time and thought he had no advisers around him, but in fact..." A Piao waved his hands towards His Highness, "Prince Wanyan's most core advisers are all by his side! "
