Chapter 1083: Progress is slow
Although all this nowadays. It's all just speculation. But even speculation. But it also gave Zhang Fan and others a direction to investigate this matter. Merely. The matter was investigated. It's really difficult. After all, do it according to Zhang Fan's ideas. Wang Meng and Liang Chao. But it's time to investigate what happened more than 20 years ago. You also have to find the talent at that time.
Of course. Although it is said that it is the two of them. But the man who has been arrested now can't be ignored. You'll have to ask him. Just check it out. And this one lived. It's already handed over to Liang Chao. So that is to say. to investigate this. Only Wang Meng went alone. It's obviously a bit tiring. But now there is no other way.
Of course. You can also delegate the following people to do it. After all, Jin Yiwei's hand. Naturally, there will be no shortage of manpower. But Zhang Fan didn't do that. He didn't want too many people to know about it. After all, this is related to Zhu Xuanqi's throne. Although Zhang Fan came to Sichuan this time. It was for Zhu Xuanqi. But in the end, he doesn't have the power to judge Zhu Xuanqi. It's about finding evidence against him. And what will happen to Zhu Xuanqi after that. This is none of Zhang Fan's business. Give it to the Empress Dowager Li.
Thereupon. After the division of labor is completed. Wang Meng and Liang Chao began to work. And the first good news. It came immediately.
Liang Chao was interrogating the angry third child. brought up the matter. And the angry third man changed his face in an instant. looked at Liang Chao's eyes, all of which were incredible. And then again. The angry third child immediately changed his original appearance. Ignore it. A look of no concern.
But even so. Even the time for him to change his face was only for a moment. But Liang Chao still saw it. After all, Liang Chao also knows. It's not easy for him to tell if that's the case. But no matter what. If you're here for it. Hear someone bring it up. Nature is subject to change. And Liang Chao's purpose. is staring at the angry old man. Look at how he looked after hearing that Zhang Fan and they knew about it. That momentary effort. The face of the angry third child changed. Of course Liang Chao saw it.
That's it. There is no need to be angry with the third child to admit it. Liang Chao can also understand. Zhang Fan. I guessed it right. This thing. It has something to do with the heir to the throne of the King of Shu.
Although said. Actually, I still don't know anything. But now that we have been able to confirm this. There is indeed such a thing. Then Wang Meng will be even more energetic to find it. After all, as long as it's hard work. There may also be a fall. If you can't even guess for sure. Wang Meng found the last. But nothing was found. That's what makes people angry.
And Zhang Fan heard about it. Naturally, I was very happy in my heart. After all, that's it. They can find a way for Empress Dowager Li to deal with Zhu Xuanqi well. All that's left is to find the person. and then stole the genealogy of the Shu king's lineage. Confirm his identity. After that, just hand it over to the Empress Dowager Li.
Not bad. Whether it's the gang behind Zhao Zijie. Or Zhang Fan. Although their purpose is not the same. But in this matter. You have to do the same thing. Even if the person is found. If his identity is not confirmed. That's useless. And anyway. When the time comes, they're going to steal the genealogy too.
But these things. Let Zhang Fan always have a strange feeling. After all, now between him and Zhu Xuanqi. Although both sides know that the other is looking for trouble. Both of them know this kind of thing. But before everything is torn apart. Both of them should maintain such a friendly relationship.
Just like now. The two see each other every day. A pleasant greeting. Say hello. Sometimes two drinks are shared. Talk or something. But who would have thought. The final ending of the two is to make it so intense. If Zhang Fan succeeds. Then Zhu Xuanqi will be unlucky. Even if it's immortal. But it will definitely make him very uncomfortable.
But if Zhang Fan fails. Then he won't end well. When the time comes. Zhu Xuanqi is very likely to hit a rake. Impeached Zhang Fan to the imperial court for falsely accusing the prince. That's it. Zhang Fanke is about to be unlucky. At that time, the imperial court was under pressure. Zhang Fan must be punished. And even if Zhu Xuanqi does not impeach Zhang Fan. Empress Dowager Li will do something to him as well.
All in all. The two of them are now in a life-and-death situation. And thanks to the fact that both of them know this. But he still behaved so friendly. I can only say. Some things are just so helpless. It's such a contradiction. It's so incomprehensible. But that's what you have to do.
Right now. Zhang Fan was waiting for Wang Meng to find out something. And Zhao Zijie is there. Zhang Fan has no way now. After all, if the other party doesn't deal with Zhao Zijie. He had no way to pull Zhao Zijie over. And. This matter must wait for the other party to take the initiative. It is not up to his people to pretend to do it. After all, now for the people over there. Nothing is clear. In case of goofs. It's quite possible to make things worse.
So. Right now. Zhang Fan could only wait.
There are other things. That's about Daniel Zhang and Wang Xin. I received the news before I said it. said that these two people are now preparing for a rebellion. Now Liu Xian has been notified. And Liu Xian has already made preparations. Now he has an army under his command. Most of them wander around Yongning Mansion. But it never stopped.
In this way. From an outsider's point of view. Although the recent transfer of troops here has been more frequent. But there are still so many people back and forth. And Zhang Fan's side also let people release the news secretly. said that the Chinese New Year is coming soon. In order to prevent any mutations. That's what makes people make frequent rounds. So. Even the two on Yongning's side. I won't be intimidated by this formation.
But. So many days have passed. The two over there. But there was no movement. This is also something that Zhang Fan can't understand. After all, this news. It was from his men. Nature is credible. And. Now his people are so incapacitated. Other words. That's pretty much the time there. But. So far, there has been no movement. This made Zhang Fan a little puzzled.
But if you don't understand it, you can't understand it. But Zhang Fan was not too worried about this matter. One comes. He had other sources of information. If there was anything that the two of them had done. Even if you can't see it from the outside. But Zhang Fan can also know. Second. It's all ready here. So Zhang Fan is not worried. Even if the other party has already acted. They haven't heard anything yet. But Liu Xian is ready now. Even if it's a little flustered at that time. But it's still manageable. That's it. There's nothing to worry about.
And so it went for another two days. It's already the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve. This is the last year of the year. Naturally, it's going to be lively. And today's Shu Wangfu is among them. It is also very lively.
After all, the King of Shu is in the first line. From the first generation. It has been passed down to the present. There are many children and grandchildren. There are also many branches. And the New Year. Naturally, it is to reunite the family. Even some people don't know each other since childhood. At most, we can see each other every year during the Chinese New Year. But when it came to such a day. That's coming, too.
As a matter of fact. From the day before. That is, on the twenty-ninth day of the year. The Shu Wangfu already had relatives come to the door.
Merely. Zhang Fan discovered. Zhu Xuanqi didn't know whether to take it seriously or pretend to be it. He was for these relatives. It's not a nuisance. As long as someone comes. Naturally, he wanted to meet him in person. Ask me how we've been doing this year. How at home. What can change. Commonplace things like what's going on with the kid. Merely. These are even common words. But let's talk about it in Zhu Xuanqi. It sounds like a formula. Lifeless.
Fear. This is a problem that people like Zhu Xuanqi have. And Zhang Fan can also see it. People who come here. I don't really like this place either. No. Can't say no. If you really want to say it. It's not bad to say it's jealousy. After all. They are all from the Shu king's line. Why was he, Zhu Xuanqi, able to sit on this throne.
If you really want to dwell on this issue. Zhu Xuanqi is also a son of a concubine. And the people of the other branches. Some of them are still grandchildren.
Of course. Now let's talk about it. It doesn't mean much.
Zhang Fan didn't care about these people. didn't bother Zhu Xuanqi. After all, he was meeting his people at this time. Annoying though. But it's a must. Zhang Fan turned his attention to Zhao Zijie.
Liang Chao after getting an affirmative answer from Nu Laosan. I just can't ask anything else. Today's angry old three. Although there was no pain on his body. But the inhuman form that has been tortured. But he still didn't say anything. This made Zhang Fan also a little surprised. I didn't expect this person to be so backbone. But. Since he doesn't say. Liang Chao didn't need to waste any more time on him. Instead, he went to help Wang Meng investigate the matter.
And Wang Meng is here. Even with the addition of Liang Chao. Bring a few trustworthy people with you. Together, there were only six of them. But the matter was investigated. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. It was already more than twenty years ago, after all. And even Jinyiwei. There are not many records of the descendants of the palace. They looked through it. While asking people. Once you have confirmed your residence, you will go to find someone. But most of them are no longer there. This bogged down the investigation. But the two of them are still working on this.
And Zhang Fan. But he kept looking at Zhao Zijie. Hopefully those people will come to him sooner for trouble. After all, it looks like it now. That's the shortcut.
