Uncle... was pushed off the cliff by the First Prince?

Zhou Yao's body tensed instantly when he heard this sentence, his brows and eyes were sharp and murderous: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Shang Zhongji's eyes almost popped out, his arm shook violently, and the iron chain behind his back rattled: "What I said is true! You don't have to lie to me anymore, and you are still taking the blame for the eldest prince at this time. Does it do me any good!"

Zhou Yao rubbed the rim of the teacup with his fingertips, his eyebrows and eyes drooping slowly.

The eldest prince plotted against uncle.

Whether it is a transaction, or a karma.

In the capital of the Chu Kingdom, uncle, an outsider, disappeared for no reason, there would be no big disturbance, and no one would miss him, except himself.

So entering the First Prince's Mansion by himself... Was it also the First Prince's intention?

Anyway, bearing the title of 'life-saving benefactor', he went along with the flow to welcome him into the mansion, and the eldest prince didn't even have to think about any extra reasons.

What happened in your previous life?

He has been nesting in the remote and uninhabited concierge courtyard of Honglu Temple, waiting with difficulty, and no one approached him.

Is it because he didn't act positively and saved Li Yao?Or is it because it's too decadent, too useless, it's worthless at first glance, and there's no need for others to bother to observe and pay attention?

Once again, Zhou Yao lamented how ignorant he was in his previous life and how many things he missed!

With a soft "pop", the lantern burst, drawing back Zhou Yao's attention.

"Chuan Guo Yuxi—" He closed his eyes slightly, his voice was like a stream in winter night, it was bitingly cold, "Has it been hidden by the eldest prince?"

Shang Zhong heaved a sigh of relief, just at that moment, he almost thought that Zhou Yao was going to kill him!

"I really don't know about this. What I know is what the First Prince wants the outside world to think. Your uncle fled with the Chuanguo Yuxi, and fell off the cliff in a panic. He fell to his death, and the Chuanguo Yuxi was also missing. As for Whether that thing was hidden in advance by your uncle, or was secretly sent to another place by the First Prince, I'm afraid only the First Prince knows."

"My uncle...is dead?"

"Yes, the eldest prince said he was dead. I also quietly asked the guards who were with me at that time. The guards said that the place under the cliff was too big. It took two days of searching to find the body. It was bitten by wild beasts and almost lost its shape... I am sure it is your uncle. Within two days after that, these guards made a mistake and were purged, and the one who had a good relationship with me also died, so I dare not ask any more questions..."

Shang Zhong was already sensitive to the fact that something was wrong with Zhou Yao's expression.

That's right, it's already amazing not to cry or faint when you suddenly hear the bad news about your loved ones, but you still want others to treat you tenderly?

He is under the control of others now, and whether he can survive depends entirely on the mood of the other party...

He rolled his eyes, stopped talking about Lan Linchun's tragic situation in detail, changed the topic, and mentioned elsewhere: "Because he has special attention to your uncle, the eldest prince recognizes the things on your uncle. It was dark that night, when did your uncle lose it?" The First Prince didn't know about this thing, and he didn't pay attention to it, but if such a thing suddenly appeared on Mao San, he would naturally recognize it."

"What happened that night is a secret, there must be no omissions, this Mao San, the eldest prince will definitely silence it."

"With the power of the eldest prince's mind, there are many ways to kill a person. But the matter is related to the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, it is too sensitive, and Mao San just happened to be taken back to the private prison in the mansion. No matter how he dies, The death is so natural, and if someone knows it, they will doubt it. The First Prince needs a more secure and more appropriate way to silence him. Just in time, the black market auction is coming soon, and the First Prince is very satisfied with your idea. They were all let out. The other thieves were carrying out their mission seriously, seeking information for the First Prince, only Mao San, the First Prince privately ordered me to kill him."

"The eldest prince wants me to find out if Mao Sanzhi knows about your uncle and where the jade on his body came from. It's best to ask. If you can't ask, you have to kill him quickly. I tried it, and he didn't seem to be interested." I don’t know, the thing was picked up..."

"I brought poison, and I wanted to be gentle. Mao San is comfortable, and I don't need to bother, but Mao San is too clever, and I noticed it. I acted in a hurry, so there was a mistake..."

At this point, Zhou Yao finally knew what happened to Chongbao's disappearance.

There are indeed such a pile of royal treasures, and they were sent to the capital by the local Xiangjun and Huayuan Commercial Bank in cooperation.At first, it was all right and safe, but on the way, Chuan Guo Yuxi suddenly sneaked in for some reason.

Chuan Guo Yuxi is too popular, and there are too many people who want it. As soon as the wind is leaked, everyone is gearing up and preparing for a big fight.But the timing was not coincidental, and it could only be carried out on the night when it was sent to the capital.

A total of several people came that night, including the eldest prince and the fourth prince.

In order to pass the test smoothly, the idea of ​​blaming the robber Tu Qi must have been thought up by one of these people.Zhou Yao guessed that the person who made this decision was probably a foreigner or a foreigner.After all, this is the capital of the state of Chu, the eldest prince and the four princes have the upper hand, so there is no need to think of such excuses, if you get it, you get it, foreigners can't do it, if you get it, it is not convenient to get rid of the tracking, picture [-] is the best scapegoat and protective color.

When a group of people were robbing things, my uncle appeared.

When the eldest prince saw his uncle, he began to make use of it.

The result of robbing things... Either whoever got it and escaped, but was bitten tightly, and the battlefield changed location as they chased, or they were all injured. Can't see it?

Or simply be taken by the uncle or the eldest prince.

The uncle left, and the scene returned to calm. Xiong Qingjiu, the deacon of Huayuan Commercial Bank, came back to sleep drunk, and found the treasures scattered on the floor, and became greedy.

Before the things were confiscated, Mao San, who had finished his night work, appeared and asked for a share, half for each person...

Xiong Qing and Mao San didn't know about the previous matter.Xiong Qing and Mao San collected and scraped the scene, picking up all the good things, and no one else knew about it.

Many people together contributed to the mystery of the disappearance of this heavy treasure, and all the irrationalities.

It was only at this time that Shang Zhong reacted to one thing.

Others don't recognize Lan Linchun's things, how could Zhou Yao, a nephew, not recognize them?

"Suggest that the eldest prince use thieves to sniff out information at the black market auction——you did it on purpose! You want to interrogate Mao San!"

When he said that, he denied himself in a nervous way, and muttered in a low voice: "But you have to know that Mao San has that thing on him. When Mao San was imprisoned in the Prince's Mansion, why didn't you ask secretly? Why didn't you show any lies?" ...Yes, you are so smart, you must keep your face, otherwise you will attract suspicion... The eldest prince will doubt you, why would you stay in the eldest prince's mansion, and still trust you in every possible way, let you make up your mind?"

Shang Zhong had really been locked up in a small dark room for too long, he couldn't hold back, and even said what was on his mind.

Zhou Yao lazily listened to his thoughts, and interrupted him directly: "What else?"

"What else?" Shang Zhong stared, "What else? That's all I know!"

Zhou Yao also understood that Shang Zhong should have explained the facts that he knew, but his question did not refer to the same direction.

Reaching out to pick up a teapot, he slowly refilled himself with tea. He held the tea in his hand and blew gently with his eyes down.

"Do you know that the fourth prince is also looking for my uncle?"

"Fourth Prince?" Shang Zhong waved his arm again, "Impossible! According to the First Prince's arrangement, it will take at least a month for your uncle to take the jade seal and fall to his death. You shouldn't know now, he can't be looking for your uncle so soon!"

Speaking of this, Shang Zhong has already collapsed. Could it be that he has been imprisoned here for more than a month!

"The fourth prince came to my uncle not because of Yuxi."

Zhou Yao squinted his eyes while talking slowly, observing Shang Zhongji's expression carefully.

Shang Zhongji's face was full of puzzlement: "Not for the jade seal? Impossible! The fourth prince has a lot more thoughts about being in charge than the first prince. Apart from this, it is impossible to be obsessed with other things. Could it be that your uncle has offended you? The fourth prince? The person who killed him?"

Zhou Yao immediately understood that Shang Zhong really didn't know about this matter and what "Sheng Yu" was about.

He knocked on the table with his fingertips: "Who else knows the above things except you?"

Speaking of this, Shang Zhong was very proud.

"The eldest prince is very shrewd, seemingly magnanimous, but in fact he doesn't trust the people under him that much. He will split many things into several parts and order different people to handle them. Everyone can only do things in a dull manner, and can't ask too much. Once inadvertently, it is known by others, even if it is one of his own, there is no danger of leaking the secret, and the eldest prince will not let it go. What happened to these things, what is the cause, what is the effect, the person who handles the matter does not know, only the elder Prince, know everything and firmly control it."

"I've done a lot of business, and I'm considered the most astute and loyal member of the staff. The eldest prince has always looked at me highly and is willing to use it. Sometimes he will talk to me about problems that he can't figure out, so I know Things are the most."

"Because of the Chuanguo Yuxi incident, the people in the mansion have been cleaned up several times. You, a peripheral like you, don't even deserve to hear the wind."

"So - in general, it is impossible for you to ask so many things from other people's mouths in other places. I am very cooperative. Not only did I cooperate, but I also said more things. You just... let me go ?”

Shang Zhong's eyes were filled with anticipation.

However, what he waited for was Zhou Yao's sneer.

"You plotted against me again and again, but I let you go?"

Shang Zhong blinked, and immediately said: "That is the order of the First Prince, and I have no choice but to do it!"

Zhou Yao sneered again, with a look of 'I listen to you to continue making up'.

"Really!" Shang Zhong said solemnly, "The eldest prince looks benevolent, but in fact he has deep thoughts. He doesn't like his subordinates to be united with He Yue. The emperor's mind, you must understand it, if you don't deal with it below, he can use it more easily, all kinds of balance, kindness and power are equally important... That's why I don't deal with you, I just go against you everywhere!"

Zhou Yao put the tea cup heavily on the table.

"I thought you were really honest."

Shang Zhong was almost startled by the voice, tried to keep calm, and said in a low voice, "I'm really honest... Locked with such two big iron chains, can I not be honest?"

Zhou Yao opened his lips lightly and read out three words: "Shang, Yun, Shu."

Shang Zhong's pupils tightened instantly.

"Don't tell me, you don't know this name."

Shang Zhong already wanted to say that he didn't know who this person was, but his throat seemed to be stuck by the black and yellow disgusting sugar threads on the portrait of the Stove Lord, and he couldn't open his mouth no matter what.

Even breathing was abnormally heavy, and the compressed lung tubes hurt.

Zhou Yao rested his chin and admired Shang Zhongji's gaffe for a while before continuing to speak.

"You have been an aide in the First Prince's Mansion for so many years, and you rarely return home. Most of the people around you don't know about your situation, whether you are married or not, and whether there is anyone in your family... I have no power, no power, no one to use The little proton, who is even looked down upon by everyone, actually knows this name, Shang Zhongji, you don't want to ask why?"

The more detailed he said, the more terrifying Shang Zhong felt.

Yes, no one else knows, no one knows, why does Zhou Yao know?

Knowing such secret things, how capable is Zhou Yao?

I have tried so many times just now, and I have suppressed so many narrow-mindedness, didn't I...the other party has seen it all?Don't tell the truth, just because you want to continue watching the monkey show?

His legs began to shake.

My heart was beating drums, Zhou Yao seemed gentle, but in fact he said terrible words again.

"I can capture you and keep you locked up here so that no one will know; I can play the eldest prince into the dungeon, and his title will be taken away—you guess, can your beautiful and cute little nephew play the game?" I?"

Shang Zhong finally couldn't take it anymore, he knelt down with a 'plop'.

The iron chain was pulled by his movements, making a loud rattling sound.

"That child...is already in Wudi now. Want to pretend to be me? Huh?"

Zhou Yao smiled with crooked eyebrows, and the wine on his cheeks was faintly visible.

But Shang Zhongji seemed to see the most terrifying devil in the world, he didn't dare to look any more, and kowtowed again and again: "Please...please..."

Zhou Yao knows all these things, what else can he say!

He didn't dare to have the slightest sense of superiority, he just begged Zhou Yao to hold his hand high, don't care about him, a humble man like him, and let Shang Yunshu go!
