princess regent lifted from her grave

Mu Fengyan looked at the shopkeeper Zhang who was begging for mercy in a flustered expression, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he asked aloud,

"Why did you change your appearance with Manager He? As far as I know, you often follow Manager He."

Shopkeeper Zhang showed hesitation.

Mu Fengyan's voice was cold, "I don't even want to answer the first question, and I don't think there is any need to continue asking. It's better to take you away now."

Shopkeeper Zhang felt tense when he heard the words, and hurriedly said,

"It's not that I don't want to talk about it, it's that I don't know very well about some things. I only know that shopkeeper He disguised himself as me to meet some people, who they were, and what they did. I don't know at all, and shopkeeper He would not Tell me that he has always been extremely cautious in his actions, and he will not let me know anything that he doesn't want me to know. Normally, I only need to follow the orders of shopkeeper He, and I really don't know the rest."

Mu Fengyan frowned, seeing that shopkeeper Zhang didn't seem to be lying, and then continued to ask,

"Who is your master?"

Shopkeeper Zhang shook his head again.

Mu Fengyan directly placed the dagger on Shopkeeper Zhang's neck again, with a sullen tone,

"What do you know? Tell me all you know, or I'll have your head cut off now."

Shopkeeper Zhang felt the coolness on his neck, his eyes became more flustered, and his tone was hurried,

"Girl calm down, the sword has no eyes, I still hope that the girl will be merciful, it's not that I don't want to tell the girl, it's because only one person knows the identity of the master, and only one person can tell the master any orders. We have never met the master, In the eyes of us, the master is even more mysterious."

Mu Fengyan's eyes were a little impatient. I didn't expect that shopkeeper He would be so secretive. Regarding the identity of their master, even the personal entourage didn't know. Simple, or the ultimate goal is ulterior motives, and the people under him are not exposed at all, for fear of destroying his ulterior plan.

Seeing Mu Fengyan's impatient expression, shopkeeper Zhang hurriedly said,

"Although I don't know who the master is, I accidentally bumped into the person who conveyed the order for the master."

Mu Fengyan squinted her eyes, waiting for shopkeeper Zhang to continue,

Shopkeeper Zhang saw that the girl stopped moving, and he was relieved. The dagger finally stopped, and he continued,

"The person who sent the letter that day seemed to be very anxious. He came suddenly. I happened to be next to Guanshi He and took a closer look at that person. Although he was dressed in black and covered his face, the shoes and boots on his feet were unique to palace guards. Guanshi He sent me out, and I didn’t hear them talking, and since then, Guanshi He has been more careful, and I have never seen them again.”

Mu Fengyan's tone was cold, "So, according to what you said, your master is a person in the palace or has a close relationship with people in the palace?"

Shopkeeper Zhang nodded quickly, "I'm just guessing."

"Can anyone guess who it is?"

Shopkeeper Zhang hesitated again.

Mu Fengyan said sullenly, "Don't let me lose my patience."

Shopkeeper Zhang no longer hesitated, and confided everything he had guessed,

"Girl, I'm just guessing. I guess our master may be the prince. Even if he is not the prince, he must have a close relationship with the prince. Every time the killers go out on a mission, I will pay attention to those who are secretly killed. I found that those who were assassinated every once in a while were not only government officials, but also people who were secretly opposed to the prince’s party, so I suspected that it was the prince, who was trying to eliminate dissidents, so as to facilitate his future enthronement.”

Mu Fengyan frowned slightly, puzzled and said,

"How did you know about the affairs of the court? He Guanshi told you?"

Shopkeeper Zhang hurriedly shook his head,

"Guard He never mentioned this to me. I accidentally discovered this in his room when I was pretending to be Guanshi He."

"What else did you find in the steward's room?"

Shopkeeper Zhang didn't dare to hide it again, and said truthfully,

"I have also seen a few letters that Manager He had not had time to put away in the future. I don't remember the rest clearly. I only remember one very clearly. It was filled with the amount and month of the bank notes. The total amount of bank notes was huge. He The steward only marked Li Lingshi at the signing place, but I don't know who this Li Lingshi is."

When Mu Fengyan heard the words, she immediately remembered the letter she had read in General Li's mansion, but the letter was signed by the shopkeeper.

In this way, it is Guanshi He who is connected with Li Tingran, and it is also the shopkeeper He in that letter, and this matter was done by one person.

Mu Fengyan looked at Ye Lijue, Yelijue nodded slightly, he also remembered this clearly.

Mu Fengyan stared fixedly at shopkeeper Zhang, and asked, "Have you seen a wizard?"

Shopkeeper Zhang looked puzzled, "Wizard? You mean Mr. Wizard, I have never met him, and I have no chance to meet Mr. Wizard."

Mu Fengyan looked at his expression that didn't seem to be fake, and didn't continue to ask about this matter. Some things still need to be caught and questioned by He Guanshi himself. Many secrets are only known to him, and even the followers around him can't keep them secret. It seems that no matter who is in charge, or the master behind him, he is extremely cautious in his actions, and every step is extremely steady. This is not a cautious habit developed overnight, but a long process to achieve such watertightness , if shopkeeper Zhang hadn't bumped into the messenger by accident and exposed his identity,

I'm afraid this matter will be hidden strictly.

Mu Fengyan asked another question out loud again,

"Who's the woman in the next room with the bracelet and anklet?"

Shopkeeper Zhang answered truthfully,

"When I followed Guanshi He, this woman was imprisoned here. I tentatively asked Guanshi He about the identity of this woman. Guanshi just warned me not to inquire about what I shouldn't. The more I know, the worse my life will be. No guarantee. The master ordered that the woman must be alive, and that she would suffer so much, that she would be given food if she was hungry, and that she should be consulted by a doctor if she was sick. Clean it up."

Mu Fengyan frowned, and asked, "How long have you been following Guan Shi?"

"It's been fifteen years."

Mu Fengyan was shocked for a moment, which meant that this woman had been imprisoned for at least 15 years.

Mu Fengyan continued to ask,

"When you first met her, was your gaze so dull?"

Shopkeeper Zhang thought about it for a moment. After all, after more than ten years, his memory of this woman is a little fuzzy. He has not entered that room for ten years. When he suddenly mentioned the matter of this woman, Shopkeeper Zhang still needs to recall it carefully. Fan,
