Chapter 434 The Dark Tower

The two parted ways when they didn't agree with each other. Not long after Zheng Yicai left, he was stopped by Zeng Pan's leader, "Master Zheng, Your Majesty's invitation."

Zheng Yi didn't understand, so he was panicked, thinking that the emperor should not be able to hear what he said in the court hall, and even if the people around him heard it, they would not be able to tell the emperor so quickly.

Thinking of this, he calmed down again, and walked leisurely to the imperial study with Zeng Pan, but as he walked, he realized that something was wrong, stopped immediately, and said vigilantly: "Commander Zeng, isn't this going to the imperial study?" The road to the Royal Study Room."

Zeng Pan stopped, "I just said that the emperor wants to see you, but I didn't say that the emperor will see you in the imperial study."

Zheng Yi choked, unable to refute, thinking that Zeng Pan, as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, would not be able to deal with him, a court minister, so openly, so he calmed down and followed Zeng Pan to continue walking.

Walking and walking, Zheng Yi didn't realize that something was wrong until he entered the cold palace. He turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the Imperial Forest Army.

"Master Zheng, the emperor is inside, please." Zeng Pan said expressionlessly.

Zheng Yi was horrified, pointed at Zeng Pan and the others and said tremblingly, "What do you guys want to do?"

Zeng Pan was getting impatient, and exchanged glances with Yulinjun, Zheng Yi was immediately lifted up and carried into the cold palace.

Although the Lenggong is in the imperial palace, it is overgrown with weeds. Obviously no one cares about it on weekdays, and it is not very popular. The environment can be said to be quiet or gloomy. In short, Zheng Yi who entered here began to struggle desperately until he was carried in front of the emperor. Still in a state of panic, he rushed to the emperor in front of him, saying: "Your Majesty, help me, Your Majesty! Commander Zeng Da commanded them to be rough on their ministers."

"You little villain, file a complaint first! If you don't want to escape from the commander, you don't have to drag you here!" Zeng Pan spat angrily.

Ning Chengyun waved his hand, looked at Qiu Jingming beside him, and said, "Ai Qing, let's start."

"Yes!" Qiu Jingming walked towards Zheng Yi slowly, and asked very calmly, "Tell me everything you know."

Zheng Yi's pupils dilated suddenly, looking at Qiu Jingming's eyes full of resentment, he gritted his teeth and argued, "I don't know what Marquis Dingbei is talking about! Your Majesty, I am wronged!"

Qiu Jingming shook his head, "You are not wronged. In fact, when the emperor came to court, we had already tortured the captured assassins and killed a few people. Once they died, the faces of the people related to them would change accordingly. Very soon. Unfortunately, Lord Zheng is the most obvious one.

I found out that Mr. Zheng was always a loner before. Even when he became an official, he didn’t think about starting a family. Apart from dealing with Mr. Wu, he didn’t have any relatives or friends. Logically speaking, such a change shouldn’t happen, unless you still want to quibble Bar? "

"You talk nonsense!" Zheng Yi blushed with anger, looked at the emperor and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, how can you listen to such strange and chaotic nonsense! Dingbeihou is clearly a demon to confuse the people , Your Majesty, you must not be fooled by him!"

The emperor was not angry, and even his expression was indifferent. Looking at Zheng Yi's appearance, he said indifferently: "Dingbeihou and Pingnanhou are both people with real skills. Many weird things came back, among them was a kind of medicine, taking it could cause people to hallucinate, and they answered whatever they asked.

Will Mr. Zheng dare to take this medicine to prove his innocence?As long as Mr. Zheng is really innocent, I will punish Ding Beihou severely and cut his title, how about it? "

"Your Majesty!" Zheng Yi was shocked, looking at the small boxes on the table so anxious that cold sweat rolled down one by one.

Ning Chengyun remained indifferent, "If Mr. Zheng refuses to agree, I will treat you as acquiescing to your crime, and you must make Mr. Zheng suffer some flesh and blood!"

Everyone stared at Zheng Yi and waited for him to make a decision.

Zeng Pan put the pills directly to his mouth, and was about to force him to swallow them. Zheng Yi immediately resisted and pushed the person away.

Zeng Pan took the medicine and chased it out. He laughed and said, "I heard Ping Nanhou say how miraculous this medicine is. I'm quite curious. I just want to give you a try today."

Zheng Yi struggled desperately, but he still couldn't twist Zeng Pan. He was forced to swallow the pill, and his eyes almost rolled to the sky.

Ning Chengyun in the room clenched his fists tightly, gnashed his teeth and said, "I thought the dark building was full of top assassins before, but I didn't expect people like Zheng Yi to be one of them. It's really hard to guard against!"

Now he even began to wonder if there was anyone from the dark building around him.

Qiu Jingming replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, you are surrounded by some loyal bodyguards. I have seen their faces, and they are all right, at least for now."

The emperor was silent, and he was not completely relieved by Qiu Jingming's words.

Soon, the results of Zeng Pan's interrogation came out. Although Zheng Yi was just a civil servant, he knew much more than those assassins in the dark building who were only responsible for taking money. The list of confessions was shocking.

Although it has not been found out who negotiated with the dark building and bought the murderer, but the person who connected with the dark building has some clues.

When Tangning received the news, she brought someone to kill her. After they were tied up, they were sent to the cold palace. After some torture, the other party also recruited someone behind the scenes.

After Ning Chengyun listened to the other party's confession, a raging storm was brewing in his eyes.

At the same time, Zeng Pan also led the imperial army out of the palace, first sealed off Xijing, and then raided several big families, including the empress's natal family Cheng'en Gong's house and the natal family of the sixth concubine Pang's family.

Xijing was panicked because of this house raid.

In the Kangning Palace.

Lue stumbled into Empress Ouyang's bedroom and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good, something happened to Cheng'en Gong's Mansion!"

Ouyang's eyes widened suddenly, and he asked sharply, "Why are you in such a panic?"

Since the assassination failed, Ouyang has also complained a little more to her natal family. Now that she heard that something happened to her natal family, she subconsciously frowned.

Lue panted heavily and said with a pale face, "The Imperial Forest Army raided Cheng'en Gong's Mansion by order."

"Bang!", Ouyang knocked over the teacup beside him, stood up in disbelief, and murmured: "He is not going to give Ben Gong a living!"

Lue stepped forward and cried: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the Emperor already knows the mastermind behind the assassination of Concubine Xi and the Twelve Princes, we must hurry up and find a way, we can't just wait for death!"

"Hehehe" Ouyang smiled dryly and shed two lines of tears, "So what if you can't just sit and wait? The emperor has copied Cheng'en Gong's mansion, what else can I do? Wait for the queen to be abolished?"

Hearing the word "abandoned queen", Lue directly fell to the ground.

Ouyang suddenly yelled madly, tears were like beads with a broken thread, and cried out ventedly: "Ning Chengyun! If you weren't ruthless to me, if you weren't unfair to Yuaner, why would I be like this? , why is this so"
