Chapter 997: Inadvertent Inquiry
In the eyes of the two of them, the letter they had sent before should have been replied to in this situation, no matter what.
Even if there was any delay on the way, it was absolutely impossible to delay for such a long time, and there was still no reply.
In this extremely strange and strange situation, the two of them would actually sense that something was wrong from it.
After all, in the final analysis, this matter is the most important thing for them at present, in addition to investigating the truth of the matter.
If they had investigated the truth of the matter during this time, and there had been no letter from the Imperial City over there.
Then their next plan will also follow, and there will be some delays.
But if there is really a delay in this, then maybe it will be because of this, and Zheng Chengdan, who is already aware of it over there, will once again attack them because of such a situation.
Then the development of things will definitely not be as easy as they think, but will become more complicated. Make them difficult to deal with for a while.
And if that were the case, then what they were doing would be ruined. Therefore, in order to avoid such a situation, they must first receive a reply from Emperor Tiansheng before they can proceed with the next step.
Otherwise, to whatever extent they are doing today, it would be difficult to continue. Besides, they haven't found out the evidence that they can really make Zheng Chengshan drunk.
So they don't intend to take such risks without the slightest preparation.
And to some extent, in the current situation of being trapped in the wolf's den.
It must be impossible to be unprepared and retreating, so impulsively rushed up directly, and used the evidence in his hand that was not yet sufficient to attack Zheng Chengdan directly.
Therefore, it was for this reason that the two of them decided to first convey the truth of the matter and the current situation to Emperor Tiansheng in the capital, and then continue the next plan after waiting for his reply.
Although they didn't think that Zheng Chengdan, a person, could have such great power, they unknowingly seized the letter that the two of them went to send to Emperor Zhongtiansheng in the capital.
But from the current situation, not only did they not get the slightest news, but even their people began to be restricted in this Jiangnan place, which was also faintly noticed, and it was extremely wrong.
It's not because of anything else, but after all, it's on this matter.
The things they have to experience are far more than that, so after this happened, they also quickly connected the various things that happened around them in the recent time, which they didn't think were too suspicious, but there were some strange things.
And it is in this kind of one-to-one series that they gradually began to perceive the most wrong thing from all these things, and it is also the possibility that makes them a little frightened.
After having that kind of incredible thought in her heart, which made her feel extremely frightened, Zhuang Mingyue turned her head directly without the slightest hesitation, and her eyes were full of disbelief looking at Long Yuanxiu in front of her.
However, before Zhuang Mingyue could say the kind of unbelievable and frightened thoughts in her heart, she saw Long Yuanxiu opposite her, and at the same time, she shifted her gaze to his face.
And the look in his eyes can be said to be almost the same as her, and it can even be said to be exactly the same, without the slightest difference.
When Zhuang Mingyue looked at himself and Long Yuanxiu in front of him, all of them had such an unbelievable and suspicious look in their hearts. Suddenly, the already heavy heart can be said to be groaning, and it is completely cold.
“…… Maybe...... When Zheng Chengshan sent someone to assassinate the bandit, he had already sensed that we were suspicious of him. That's why he kept sending people to keep an eye on us, and the letters that we had already sent out were actually seized by him, and it was precisely because of this that he couldn't wait for His Majesty's reply. ”
In fact, when Long Yuanxiu looked at Zhuang Mingyue with the same gaze, he already had the same idea in his heart.
So in this situation, when he heard Zhuang Mingyue's words, he naturally didn't hesitate at all, just nodded lightly, and pursed his thin lips slightly, "I'm afraid it's true." ”
After Long Yuanxiu on this side also nodded and felt this possibility, the look on Zhuang Mingyue's face on this side could be said to be completely cold.
It's not because of anything else, it's just because in this situation, for the two of them here.
If this is the case, I am afraid that from the current situation, the current situation will become extremely troublesome because of this.
After all, in the final analysis, in this matter, for the situation that they only brought a part of the soldiers from the DPRK and China this time, I am afraid that they will really lose to Zheng Chengdan because of this.
After all, in this area south of the Yangtze River, with the identity of Zheng Chengdan's officials, the manpower and officials of the yamen who can be sent are really far more troublesome than them, and it can even be said to be tricky.
After noticing such a point, Zhuang Mingyue here frowned even more because of this, only to see that she pinched the tea cup in the palm of her hand, and then she worked harder because of this.
It's not because of anything else, it's just because of the situation now.
For them, if this is true, then I am afraid that it will become extremely troublesome. You must know that in the case of their group of people, with their current status, without having the evidence, they are not only not allowed to act rashly.
It's more because of the group of soldiers they brought with them this time, and even more because they wiped out the group of bandits before.
So because of this, let them go back to the palace directly to receive their orders first.
After all, this group of people is a soldier who was transferred from the palace, if they continue to stay here with them when the matter has already been completed, it is better to return to the palace as soon as possible, and this time it will be better.
Thinking about their current situation, just having a group of secret guards on their side is naturally impossible to deal with those Zheng Chengdan.
So in today's situation, for the two of them here, in this situation, it also makes them a little worried because of this.
Zhuang Mingyue, who thought of this possibility, couldn't help but sigh lightly, and her face couldn't help but reveal a little sorrow because of this, "I'm afraid that most of Zheng Chengdan's person already knows about it now." ”
Just when Long Yuanxiu was about to answer aloud, he saw Zhuang Mingyue here, and after a slight voice, he spoke again: "But now, under the condition that it is not completely certain, it is better to simply go and test it out, or take this opportunity to inquire about the news?" ”
Long Yuanxiu, who was about to speak other words, couldn't help but be slightly stunned for a moment after hearing Zhuang Mingyue's words.
After thinking about it for a moment, he finally felt that Zhuang Mingyue's words made sense and nodded, and agreed to Zhuang Mingyue's suggestion.
Just like Zhuang Mingyue said. Rather than the two of them guessing unknowingly here, it is better to directly confront Zheng Chengdan and test each other.
Although the two of them are still not sure, whether Zheng Chengshan has interfered in this matter,
But at the same time, in the same situation, what they can be sure of is that Zheng Chengshan sent someone to assassinate the remnant of the bandit named Shi Quan.
He must have doubted the two of them, even if during that time, the two of them had nothing to do with this stone.
But in the end, in the end, they were able to protect Shi Quan well for the sake of safety, so they still let him live in the same inn as them.
So even if they didn't have anything to do with Shi Quan, in such a situation, Zheng Chengdan would definitely put his suspicions on the two of them.
Otherwise, how could it be possible not to kill people directly.
On the contrary, when there was enough time, the body of Shi Quan, who was killed, was left behind.
This kind of behavior is equivalent to giving them a silent warning, and it is also equivalent to testing them whether they really have anything to do with this stone.
Although they did it later, in order not to arouse the suspicion of Zheng Chengdan, they only secretly arranged people in the inn to let Shi Quan settle in the ground.
But in the end, I am afraid that their behavior is deliberately done in Zheng Chengdan's opinion to cover up their connection with the bandits.
And because of this, they completely destroyed their most important witnesses and evidence in this matter.
