Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

Someone from the court! ?

Zhou Zheng's heart sank slightly, and then his face became a little more serious.

Meng Sheng also noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, so he took the package given by Zhou Zheng and left.

Although he is a giant and proficient in tools and tempering techniques, he does not understand the disputes in the court.

"Let's go, take me to see it."

......

"I'm a lower official, Zhang Hao, the Minister of Civil Affairs, has met His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Inside the mansion, a powerful man knelt down and worshiped Zhou Zheng.

And the same was true for several people behind him.

"Get up."

Zhou Zheng remained calm.

"Master Zhang, I wonder why you came to Xiang County this time?"

No nonsense, Zhou Zheng got straight to the point.

Gong Tan and others also turned their attention to Zhang Hao. They had long expected that the imperial court would take action, but they did not expect it to be so fast.

"I'm here for one thing only."

"Catch the fugitive, Lan Yu!"

Zhang Hao didn't expect Zhou Zheng to be so direct. Although he was a little surprised, he still handed over his hand to express his intention.

But after Zhang Hao said this, Zhou Zheng didn't react at all.

Sit upright and drink a pot of tea by yourself.

"Prince, someone saw Lan Yu arriving in Yancheng, and His Highness personally took her in."

"Lanyu escaped this time and killed dozens of imperial soldiers. This is a capital crime..."

Zhang Hao swallowed some saliva and could only continue to talk to himself.

"Oh?"

Finally, Zhou Zheng's face changed slightly.

"Did anyone see it?!"

"Who saw it?"

A smile appeared on Zhou Zheng's face, and this question made Zhang Hao a little confused.

"The Crown Prince is asking, why don't you want to answer Mr. Zhang!?"

Lei Tong glared angrily. From the moment he entered Yancheng, this guy showed off his power and did not take others into consideration.

What a great official authority.

If there is a chance at this time, Lei Tong will naturally not let him off lightly.

After all, the official position of the Minister of Civil Affairs is indeed quite high, but in front of the Crown Prince, he is nothing like bullshit.

"Of course I don't dare to be a lower-ranking official."

Zhang Hao felt quite unhappy after being retorted by Lei Tong, but he still did not dare to get angry in front of Zhou Zheng.

Then he glanced at the person behind him and saw a capable man walking out and kneeling down towards Zhou Zheng.

"Go back to His Majesty the Crown Prince, and I will see it with my own eyes."

The man's words made Zhang Hao's face look even more proud.

"Damn, this is the guy I saw that day!"

"If I had known better, I should have rushed up and killed him!"

Shi Sui finally remembered that before Lan Yu entered Yancheng, several people showed up, and one of them was the person kneeling in front of him.

"What do you see?"

Zhou Zheng frowned, put down the teacup in his hand, and asked again slowly.

"The slave saw Lan Yu fleeing southward..."

"Then he entered Xiang County, met the Crown Prince outside Yancheng, and entered Yancheng with the Crown Prince."

The kneeling man had no choice but to continue speaking.

Zhang Hao sat quietly aside without speaking. He wanted to see what Zhou Zheng would do next.

The evidence is conclusive, he doesn't believe that Zhou Zheng dares to hide the criminal!

If Lan Yu could be taken away from Yancheng in public this time, it would be considered a great achievement.

Thinking of this, Zhang Hao felt really happy in his heart.

"Did you see me and Lan Yu together!?"

"Yes."

"Now tell me, how did Lan Yu leave with me?!"

Zhou Zheng's eyes moved with great interest.

Zhang Hao and the kneeling man looked suspicious, obviously not knowing what medicine Zhou Zheng was selling in the gourd!

However, Zhang Hao still motioned for the man to demonstrate.

Emboldening his courage, the man stood up, recalling the intimate scene between Zhou Zheng and Lan Yu in his mind, and then prepared to act out it directly.

But just as the man stood up, the corners of Zhou Zheng's mouth rose slightly.

"Bold slave!"

"How brave do you have to walk side by side with me!?"

Zhou Zheng stood up and stood in front of the man, when he suddenly shouted loudly without warning!

Then, a surge of anger swept over him.

His eyes were crossed, murderous intent filled the air, and everyone was enveloped on the spot.

"Slaves, slaves don't dare!"

Under the huge pressure, the man felt his legs weaken, and then he knelt down and kowtowed directly towards Zhou Zheng.

While Zhang Hao was confused, he instantly realized something was wrong!

When he was about to speak, he found that Zhou Zheng had already pulled out the long knife from Lei Tong's waist!

There was no hesitation, not even a chance for everyone to react!

One knife, cut it down directly!

Tsk tsk tsk! ! !

The long knife was sharp and cut off the man's head wherever it passed.

A scar as big as a bowl appeared on his neck, and blood gushed out like a fountain, spreading all over the place in an instant!

The pungent smell of blood filled the entire meeting hall in just one breath!

And the head chopped off by Zhou Zheng happened to fall in front of Zhang Hao.

quiet!

Deadly quiet!

No one reacted at this time.

Until the blood soaked the soles of Zhang Hao's and others' shoes, they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, and their faces were ashen!

"Too...Prince..."

Zhang Hao, who was still confident at first, was completely panicked at this moment!

I have long heard that Zhou Zheng's methods are extraordinary, but I never expected that Zhou Zheng would act so crazy!

There was blood dripping from the blade.

Zhou Zheng turned around and stared at Zhang Hao with cold eyes.

Pfft!

Zhang Hao was sweating profusely at this time and knelt down directly towards Zhou Zheng.

Although he was an official of the imperial court and a high-ranking official, when he faced Zhou Zheng, he finally got scared!

Who knows if Zhou Zheng will suddenly jump up and kill him! ?

"Gollum!"

"Prince, you are really awesome."

Shi Sui and others were unable to recover from the sudden accident.

However, they were not panicked or afraid, but rather a little excited.

After all, the man just now should have died long ago.

"I killed that person just now, right?!"

Zhou Zheng stepped forward slowly and placed the long knife directly on Zhang Hao's neck.

Then the smile disappeared from his face again, and he asked softly in a condescending manner.

"Kill, kill right..."

At this time, Zhang Hao was completely panicked, his body was shaking continuously, and he couldn't even speak.

Because the sharp blade had cut open the skin of his neck.

As long as Zhou Zheng used a little force, it would be enough to kill him.

"You are from the Ministry of Personnel, and you know the laws of Zhou Dynasty best."

"Then tell me, why did I kill the right person just now?!"

The smile on Zhou Zheng's face not only did not disappear, but actually became stronger.

"That slave... stands side by side with the prince, damn..."

"The following offence, if you offend the prince, you deserve to die..."

"With evil intentions and a disobedient heart, kill..."

Zhang Hao felt his head was buzzing, but he still suppressed the fear and trembling in his heart and returned.

"Ah."

"Since the ministers of the Ministry of Civil Affairs say that I am right to kill, then I must be right to kill."

After hearing Zhou Zheng's satisfactory answer, Zhang Hao's tight strings relaxed a little.

Just now, he felt that half of his foot had stepped into the gate of hell.
