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

As the carriage slowly drove into Fancheng, Gong Tan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, don't you plan to meet with the prefect?"

In the carriage, Gong Tan frowned slightly.

Just now, almost everyone with official titles in Fancheng was dispatched to line up to greet them. Although the rush was not a grand occasion, it was enough to show the intentions of Chen Mian and others.

But Zhou Zheng turned a blind eye and ignored these people.

This is no longer simply arrogant, it is simply arrogant to the extreme!

You know, the prefect can also reach the third rank, especially the prefect here in Fancheng. He also holds military power and is a high official.

Which prince doesn’t want to win over! ?

"Is it true that the person who colluded with the group of people to assassinate me is Chen Mian?"

Zhou Zheng didn't even open his eyelids, but these faint words made Gong Tan suddenly tremble.

Since the assassination, Gong Tan found that her overall IQ seemed to have dropped a lot.

Even after entering Fancheng, she still didn't understand how Zhou Zheng could identify that the group of people were pretending to be Muyun Mansion soldiers?

She didn't understand even more, when did Zhou Zheng leave behind such a secret chess player as Hao Wang?

After all, judging from the contact between Hao Wang and Zhou Zheng, Zhou Zheng did not know Hao Wang at all.

But no matter what it was, Gong Tan knew that Zhou Zheng's methods were beyond imagination.

Is this the real ability of the man in front of me?

But no matter what, Gong Tan implicitly recognized Zhou Zheng more highly, and even when Zhou Zheng said that he doubted Chen Mian, she was not surprised.

After all, there are many people who want Zhou Zheng dead now.

"What will we do after entering Fancheng?"

"Don't do anything, just rest."

After leaving these two sentences behind, Zhou Zheng simply closed his eyes and rested his mind without caring about anything else.

In this regard, Gong Tan could only nod helplessly.

"I have a lot to do today, Lord Prefect."

"The prince is tired from traveling, so I won't get together with you for the time being. We have something to do, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

When the carriage stopped in front of a huge mansion, Gong Tan came out and apologized to Chen Mian.

As the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department, she naturally understands the words in these scenes.

While Gong Tan, Chen Mian and others were exchanging greetings, Zhou Zheng slowly stepped out of the carriage, but did not meet Chen Mian and others directly, leaving only his back, and then walked straight into the mansion.

From beginning to end, Zhou Zheng didn't say a word to them.

Chen Mian, who has been in official circles for a long time, had a smile on his face, but the expressions of the people behind him were quite gloomy, and some even started to curse.

After all, Fancheng is not like other cities. It was once a border fortress, and most of the people stationed there were military generals.

They are not afraid of war or life and death, but they can't stand this kind of anger!

"It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, but Mr. Gong accompanied the prince all the way. Thank you for your hard work."

There was no trace of displeasure on Chen Mian's face. He smiled slightly and cupped his hands towards Gong Tan.

"It seems that Mr. Chen has done a lot of homework."

Gong Tan was a little surprised when Chen Mian directly recognized her identity, and then spoke with a half-smile.

Not many people knew about the news that she was following Zhou Zheng this time.

Even she herself only received Gu Qianfan's instructions before setting off.

But Chen Mian recognized him at a glance. How could Gong Tan not be suspicious?

"The Imperial City Department is an important weapon of the country. Although we cannot easily enter the capital, we have admired Master Gu and Master Gong for a long time. Not to mention me, many of the guards in Fan City have seen your portraits."

When questioned by Gong Tan, Chen Mian remained calm and gave a reasonable explanation.

"The lower official seems a little unhappy when he sees the prince. I wonder if something happened along the way?"

Chen Mian quickly changed the topic.

"It's nothing, it's just that this long journey may be a bit boring for the prince."

"Master Chen, don't worry."

Gong Tan did not tell the story of the assassination, but downplayed it, which made Chen Mian's heart sink slightly.

"I heard from the soldiers guarding the city that they were a little panicked when they saw the prince's entourage, so I dared to ask a few questions."

"If someone dares to do something evil, I can protect the prince even though I am humble."

Chen Mian's words seemed casual, but they were watertight.

He did not believe that Zhou Zheng could appear in Fancheng safe and sound.

"These escorts are not panic, they are excited."

"It's more than a hundred miles from Yingcheng, and there is almost no place to stay."

"They have long heard that Fancheng is as prosperous as the imperial capital, so they will naturally be a little excited."

Gong Tan's expression remained unchanged: "But everyone in Fancheng seems to be a little dissatisfied with the prince."

"Master Chen, the prince's temperament is not that gentle. It would not be a good thing if the prince hears things he does not want to hear."

Gong Tan looked at the people behind Chen Mian, and then left these words with a smile. After entering the mansion, the door slowly closed.

"Master Chen, the Crown Prince has such great authority!"

"Such an attitude makes us look down upon!"

"Yes! When the Holy Emperor came to our city, Fancheng, he didn't have such a posture!"

"Hmph, once I gain power, I want to see how long this prince can be arrogant!"

Seeing Gong Tan disappear from sight, a group of generals could no longer hold back and started shouting.

They have seen arrogant people, but never such arrogant people!

"Everyone, remember to watch your mouth."

"If you really piss off the prince, think about the consequences yourself."

"I'm really unhappy. Isn't it better to find a few women to vent to than complaining here?"

Chen Mian was also a little irritable at this moment. He flicked his sleeves and left first.

Seeing this, the others could only leave in dismay.

......

"Uncle, I've checked, and it's not found!"

In the prefect's mansion, the strong man quickly walked up to Chen Mian with his brows furrowed and returned with determination.

"No trace of anything?"

"Correct!"

"Not to mention the body, not even blood or traces of fighting were seen."

After hearing what the strong man said, Chen Mian sat on the chair and said nothing.

In order to prevent others from knowing about it, Chen Mian specifically asked Zheng Peng to secretly lead people to investigate along the way in order to find some clues.

But the news Zheng Peng brought back made the whole thing seem confusing.

"Uncle, I doubt those people took action at all!"

"I'm afraid it's just to deliberately set us at odds with the prince!"

Zheng Peng looked angry and borrowed knives to kill people. These people were really good at it.

Zheng Peng broke into a cold sweat when he thought about how he had planned to shoot the prince to death with a volley of arrows!

"Where have Wang Wei and the others gone?"

Muttering to himself, the doubt in Chen Mian's pupils became even heavier.

He would never believe that Wang Wei and others disappeared out of thin air, let alone that Wang Wei and others would dare to set off smoke bombs on such a big matter.

"Remember to receive the prince well tomorrow."

"Yes!"

......

"Everything is as expected by His Highness, someone is leaving the city."

Hao Wang knelt in front of Zhou Zheng and said slowly.

It turned out that not long after the city gate opened and Chen Mian and others welcomed Zhou Zheng into the city, he saw a dozen figures heading straight out of the city.

Of those people, my brother was tall and tall. He looked like they were not tourists or businessmen. They must be people with great martial arts skills.

"Hmph, sure enough!"

After hearing this, Zhou Zheng became more sure of his inner thoughts.

Fancheng is inseparable from the assassination.

"Arrange a few smart people to go to this place."

"I want to know everything that happened there."

After finishing his words, Zhou Zheng handed a drawing to Hao Wang.
