Luck entry, starting from pretending to be a prince

Chapter 256 Emperor Hanwen's decision
Han State, Imperial Palace.

"My dear daughter, I have worked hard for you during this time." Emperor Han Wen looked at Su Zhijing tenderly, with a hint of helplessness and apology between his brows.

Su Zhijing was the woman he loved most. If it weren't for the difficult national situation, he would be reluctant to send Su Zhijing away for marriage.

Su Zhijing looked at her loving father in front of her, feeling dazed for a while.

Would a gentle person like my father collude with a cult like the Bone Palace?
Do not!
Will not!
My father must have been deceived by the traitor.

Su Zhijing secretly encouraged herself, Qiongbi took a deep breath, and asked straight to the point.

"Father, my daughter wants to ask about something important."

"About the marriage? This matter..." Emperor Han Wen was halfway through his words when he saw Su Zhijing shaking her head and asked in a different direction.

"It's not a marriage, what else is there?"

There was a hint of suspicion in Emperor Han Wen's eyes. He always felt that his precious daughter seemed to have something on her mind today.

"Father, do you have any connection with the Bone Palace?" Su Zhijing summoned up the courage in her heart to ask, looking directly at Emperor Han Wen's face.

Emperor Hanwen chuckled.

"How could my father be connected with the Bone Palace?"

"For hundreds of years, the Palace of White Bones and the State of Wu have been at war with each other, like fire and water. Now that our Han State needs help from the State of Wu, how can we contact the Palace of the Bones and offend the State of Wu?"

Emperor Han Wen's words were spoken very frankly, without any trace of concealment of forgery.

Hearing this, Su Zhijing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Father, my daughter has received news that the base of Bone Palace is in Jiangdu."

"Really?"

Emperor Han Wen suddenly stood up with his burly body, holding the edge of the desk tightly with his right hand, with such force that it seemed as if he was going to crush the solid wood edge.

His face with Chinese characters was full of shock. After the shock, he showed a deep sadness.

"Zhijing, is your news reliable?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Wu State told me personally." Su Zhijing said truthfully.

Emperor Han Wen's expression changed one after another, gloomy and uncertain, as if the weather was changing at a moment's notice.

"Could it be that the prince of Wu made a mistake!" Emperor Hanwen still held a trace of luck in his heart.

Su Zhijing did not continue to hide it and told Emperor Hanwen directly.

"Father, His Royal Highness, he has secretly followed his daughter's motorcade to Jiangdu!"

Emperor Han Wen immediately realized when he heard that Ji Tianci was already in Jiangdu and began to investigate the matter of the Bone Palace.

Wu Guo is serious.

The home base of the Bone Palace is in Jiangdu, which is probably true.

If not, how could the State of Wu allow His Highness the Crown Prince of Wu State to secretly come to Jiangdu?

Emperor Han Wen's heart sank, and he sat silently on the dragon chair. His body felt indescribably heavy, as if it had been filled with lead.

As a monarch of a country, he is not weak in intelligence or cultivation.

He naturally knew how bad the news was.

If no high-ranking person in the Han court was a traitor, the Bone Palace would never be able to hide it from its own eyes and take root in Jiangdu.

After a while, Emperor Han Wen seemed to have digested the shocking news and murmured softly.

"Have you found the news?"

"Who is covering the Bone Palace?" Emperor Han Wen asked, his voice a little low and hoarse.

Su Zhijing hesitated for a moment and opened her red lips slightly.

"The Prime Minister's Mansion is most likely the home of the Bone Palace."

Just now, Ji Tianci had told Su Zhijing about the information about the Prime Minister's Mansion through the chat group.

In an instant, Emperor Hanwen's lonely expression made Su Zhijing feel very sad.

She knew very well the deep friendship between her father and the Prime Minister.

Suddenly telling his father that the Prime Minister was probably colluding with the Bone Palace was definitely a huge blow to his father.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is an important stronghold of the Bone Palace.

Emperor Hanwen didn't have much doubt about this news.

After all, Wu State has been fighting with the Bone Palace for hundreds of years, and there must be many ways to discover the stronghold of the Bone Palace.

However, Emperor Hanwen recalled the little things between him and Tao Tianming when he was young, and he couldn't help but feel a deep pain in his heart, as well as... a trace of luck that cannot be described in words.Perhaps Tianming was deceived by his servants just like him.

"Zhijing, my father will leave it to you to investigate the lair of the Bone Palace."

"You can apply for any resources and manpower from my father."

"But the only thing is, you can't attack the prime minister without complete evidence."

Su Zhijing couldn't help but feel relieved when she heard that Emperor Han Wen was willing to investigate further.

What she was most worried about before was that Emperor Han Wen had colluded with the Bone Palace, or not, but she couldn't bear to do anything to Tao Tianming.

Now Emperor Hanwen's statement made her feel relieved.

As for whether the Palace of Bones would overturn the foundation of Han State, Su Zhijing was not worried at all.

Now it is not only their Han country that is dealing with the Hall of Bones, but also the mighty Wu country.

After receiving the authorization from Emperor Han Wen, Su Zhijing used spies belonging only to Emperor Han Wen to begin investigating all the people and events related to Tao Tianming.

Princess Mansion, study room.

Ji Tianci and Su Zhijing discussed the investigation.

"There are so many people in the Hall of Bones, it is impossible for all of them to be concentrated in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Besides the Prime Minister's Mansion, there must be other strongholds in Jiangdu."

"The construction of strongholds and material supplies are not created out of thin air, and they will definitely leave traces."

"These traces, as expected, must be inextricably related to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"This is the focus of your further investigation, Su Nu."

Although Su Zhijing is a novice, she has never taken over the experience of investigating a case.

But after all, Ji Tianci had led the Xuanjing Division, and Ji Tianci still had the most basic investigation plan at his fingertips.

"If everyone related to the Prime Minister's Mansion has to investigate, the workload will be too great, and it will definitely not be clear in a short while!" Cao Tajiang reminded.

Cao Tajiang, the leader of Han's spies.

His status in Han Kingdom is equivalent to that of Ying Wuhen, the leader of Wu Kingdom's shadow guards.

"Are there so many people involved?" Ji Tianci asked back, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"There are not many people directly related to Tao Tianming, but there are too many people indirectly related." Cao Tajiang sighed and frowned.

"Tao Tianming is known as a great philanthropist in Han State who rescues those in need. Every year, Tao Tianming adopts a group of homeless orphans."

"Adopt orphans?"

"is it a lot?"

"There are thousands of people every year. Over the past 20 years, the total number has been 3 or [-]!" Cao Tajiang said.

If all these 3 people were investigated, how long would it last?
When Ji Tianci heard that Tao Tianming would adopt [-] to [-] orphans, his first reaction was that something was wrong.

"Aren't you afraid that Tao Tianming will train these orphans to become dead soldiers?"

If twenty to thirty thousand dead soldiers were trained, they might be able to train an army of considerable strength.

"According to Tao Tianming, when these orphans grow up, they will all go to work as tenant farmers in his manor and will not stay in Jiangdu, so His Majesty doesn't take it too seriously."

"Moreover, these orphans have indeed not been seen again in Jiangdou over the years."

"As long as it does not threaten the throne, His Majesty will turn a blind eye to Tao Tianming's attempts to expand his influence."

"After all, the relationship between His Majesty and Tao Tianming..."

Cao Tajiang did not continue speaking, but Ji Tianci knew it clearly.

"In this case, the orphan's matter will be left to Gu Lai to investigate." Ji Tianci took the initiative to ask Ying.

Ji Tianci always felt that adopting orphans was a bit strange.

It's not that adopting orphans is weird, it's that Tao Tianming adopted too many.

Adopting thousands of people every year seems to be completing some kind of mission.

Therefore, Ji Tianci was particularly considerate.

"It just so happens that Tao Tianming just adopted orphans this year. These orphans are in one of Tao Tianming's other homes." Cao Tajiang said.

After getting the news, Ji Tianci did not stop and went directly to another hospital to investigate.
