At night, a man and a woman were sitting opposite the secret room of the study room. The woman was wearing a black cloak, revealing an exquisite face. She was no one else. It was Xu Zhilan who should be recuperating at the Duke of E's Mansion at this time, and the man was not someone else. He was Xu Mingxuan, the Fushi District, Jinyiwei North Town, but most people called him Xu Fushi.

"Don't you tell me that there is no need to come to me?" Xu Fusi pulled the cover of the tea bowl and said expressionlessly: "If someone follows you, not only will your reputation be destroyed, but even the things we plan will be exposed!"

On the surface, they are cousins, but in private, they are brothers and sisters, and cousins ​​can become husband and wife. If someone knows that they meet secretly, this stain will not be erased even if they jump into the Yellow River.

"Don't worry, I've seen it clearly before I went out, but no one followed me." Xu Zhilan said lightly: "Besides, you will leave the capital and go to Hongzhou tomorrow. Some words are inconvenient to convey to others."

Xu Fusi raised his eyebrows, "Are you afraid that I will not be able to do anything, brother?"

Xu Zhilan said seriously: "The news came from the shadow that Zheng Ying is missing, do you know?"

"I received a message from him the day before yesterday saying that someone had investigated him. I was afraid that it would be the one who was against the enemy of King Jin. Then find out your identity, so I should take the initiative first."

"Did you send someone to kill him?" Xu Zhilan was shocked when he heard this, "Zheng Ying is the imperial official. If he dies, our troubles will be greater. Don't you know?"

Xu Fusi sneered: "I know, but his identity is suspected. We are unlucky at that time. He knows that you are not Fu Yinghua and knows what we have done. Don't say that you want to be a queen, even our lives will be lost. Only dead people will not expose us."

If King Jin had not needed someone to win over Fu Shaode's power in Zhejiang, he would have wanted to kill Zheng Ying long ago. Only when all the insiders died, their identities would not have been exposed one day.

Xu Zhilan was anxious and said, "Zheng Ying can't die yet. If he dies, many things will change, which are different from his previous life. I will not be able to control it at that time."

Because she changed Lin Chenyao's fate, a series of things happened to her off guard. Lin Chenyao had always loved Fu Yinghua deeply in his previous life, and Chu Xinyu became the concubine of the King of Qin, but in this life, Lin Chenyao was going to marry Chu Xinyu.

If she hadn't reminded Lin Chenyao at that time, he wouldn't have returned to the capital early. If he didn't come back, he wouldn't have attended the Hundred Flowers Banquet. With his promise and obsession to Fu Yinghua, perhaps he would have fallen in love with him and assisted him as he did in his previous life.

Thinking of Lin Chenyao's indifference to him now, she regretted it because of her decision that everything changed differently.

In the last life, Zheng Ying did make many military achievements with her own strength, succeeded Fu Shaode and became the governor of Zhejiang, but it would take several years to realize it. Now she just let the matter happen early and changed so many things. If Zheng Ying died, it might affect the King of Jin's battle for the throne.

Although her fate in the end was like Fu Yinghua in her previous life, she became Princess Jin, but she thought of it to another man, but the matter had been implemented and she could not regret it. She could only grit her teeth and continue to move forward.

Only when she becomes the queen, then the empress dowager, and controls power, wouldn’t Lin Chenyao still listen to her? Then she will slowly torture those who have embarrassed her, so Zheng Ying must not have any trouble at this time!

Xu Fusi said: "Do you think it's a coincidence when our warehouse catches fire for no reason? Without those spices, our shadows are equivalent to self-destruction! Without shadows, we are equivalent to breaking one arm by ourselves. Will the King of Jin blame him then?"

Shadow is the sharpest knife in their hands. Many things that cannot be solved are all removed by Shadow. Once they lose this sharp knife, their actions will be restricted. Moreover, the King of Jin will feel that their ability to do things is not good, so they will not be valued. How can they help the King of Jin seize power?

"For your safety, not only Zheng Ying is going to die, but even our clan brother Deng Guozhu is going to die. He knows too much, which is always a hidden danger to us." Xu Fusi said in a cold voice.

Xu Zhilan immediately opposed: "Deng Guozhu cannot die for the time being. He is now the secret chess of King Jin. He can help King Jin win more people's hearts. After he handles Hongzhou affairs, the prince falls into our trap and gives him a crime of treason. We will make the matter public. At that time, the emperor will know that over the years, King Jin has been a person who has done good deeds silently but has no name. The people will be willing to support King Jin."

In the previous life, the King of Jin did not leave his name for doing good deeds and was virtuous and virtuous, so he won the hearts of the people, and his position in the emperor's heart became more stable, and he gained more supporters from important officials in the court. After the prince passed away, the emperor appointed him as the crown prince.

"But he knows too much, more than Zheng Ying, so we can't keep this trouble."

Xu Zhilan persuaded: "I thought of all these, but they really can't die."

"Sister, sometimes kindness or a difference in thought is the poison that kills you. We cannot take it lightly." Xu Fusi thought for a while and said, "Let's do this, Deng Guozhu can keep his life temporarily, but Zheng Ying can't. He has been investigated. Sooner or later, the murder case of that year will be found. Don't talk about us, even the King of Jin will be implicated."

"Okay." Xu Zhilan had no choice but to compromise.

The people who killed Zheng Ying had been sent out, and it was too late to take it back. Maybe he was dead by this time, and it would be useless for them to argue about this matter.

However, this matter will definitely be blamed by the King of Jin. The King of Jin, the power of Zhejiang, was finally in control. Now that Zheng Ying died, the position of general was suspended, the court would definitely send someone to take over the throne. If King of Jin takes over, it would be fine, otherwise the King of Jin would lose a secret force.

Xu Zhilan pondered for a moment and said, "Tomorrow you are going to Hongzhou. If the dam collapses, you must stop the prince and others from checking the cause. If there is really no way to stop it, find a scapegoat. You must never let them find out the truth. Now that Zheng Ying is dead, we can no longer disappoint King Jin."

Xu Fusi said confidently: "Don't worry about this, among them, we will return empty-handed this time."

Xu Zhilan nodded, remembered something, and said, "By the way, can the person who attacked me find out where they are from?"

"It's from the Hailong Gang, Princess Jing'an colluded with them and sent them to kill you."

Xu Zhilan was silent. She thought Jing'an was just angry with her when she happened to her last time in the palace. She didn't expect that she would hate herself for this and bribe the killer to kill her.

"It is probably the one who came to Shadow to come to assassinate you at a high price a few days ago. Seeing that we did not give a direct reply, we settled down and bribed the people from the Hailong Gang."

Xu Fusi remembered the news that the Shadow Hall Master had sent him a few days ago, saying that someone had offered a high price to assassinate Xu Zhilan, but no matter how he asked who they were from, the other party was unwilling to disclose any information, obviously because he was afraid that they would disclose their background. Now it seems that it is indeed like what Jing'an would do, but the Hailong Gang she found was also unreliable, so it was easy for them to find out.

"Brother, I don't like Chu Xinyu. If it weren't for her, Princess Jing'an wouldn't have turned against me."

Jing'an was originally a chess piece she had, and she would not give up until she had no choice but to give up. But now because of Chu Xinyu, this chess piece suspected that she had used her and let her revenge herself. It's hateful!

"You can bear it for now, she won't be proud for too long."

Xu Fusi sneered that Chu Xinyu was indeed difficult to deal with. Not only did he cheat him thousands of taels of silver, she also escaped the trap set by him three or four times. Now she has become Lin Chenyao's fiancée. This person must not be kept, but she is not yet dead.

Xu Zhilan clenched her fists and looked up at her brother.

"But I really can't stand her anymore. She will never die for a day. Seeing her, my heart is as disgusting as if it was swallowed by a fly."

"If we want to get rid of her, we cannot follow the previous routine. We must make a long-term plan and don't take it lightly. Besides, if the Shadows failed to kill her many times, she must be alert, and we cannot use Shadows anymore."

Xu Zhilan looked at him, "Brother, you might have a good idea?"

Xu Fusi smiled faintly, "We are not the only ones who want her to die. Today she entered the palace. Concubine Qi wanted to ruin her reputation, but in the end she suffered a secret loss. She must hold a grudge in this matter, and she is the most vengeful."

Although he didn't know the process of what happened in the palace today, the emperor was angry and the King of Jin was also sentenced to a few days of imprisonment, but if he wanted to know, he would be able to find out sooner or later.

But he never expected this matter to be so serious. When he found out, he arrived at the King of Jin's Mansion with a marriage decree. Of course, this is a later story.

At this time, Xu Zhilan seemed to understand what he meant and stared in surprise, "So you want to..."

Xu Fusi nodded with a smile.

...

On the same night, Rongguo Duke's Mansion.

Lin Chenyao sat at the desk in the study, looking at the secret letter in his hand. This was what Xiao Jingxuan gave to him today. After reading the content, he was very shocked. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jingxuan found out the whole matter so quickly. If the secret letter was presented to the emperor, the King of Jin would definitely be severely damaged. It was just that the time had not come, and he had to wait for a witness.

"Master, there are flying pigeons passing letters."

Lin Chenyao's contemplation was interrupted by Gui Ye coming in.

Gui Ye handed over a small bamboo tube, Lin Chenyao took it, took out a thin note from it, and expanded it to look.

Seeing his brow flicked, Gui Ye asked, "Is there any news about Zheng Ying?"

Lin Chenyao nodded lightly and said, "When Liuying found him, he was being chased and injured very seriously."

Gui Ye stared at him and thought deeply, "It seems that he has been given up."

Lin Chenyao chuckled, "This is great. You send a message to the glimpse and tell him that no matter how much silver you spend, you must save Zheng Ying's life."

"yes."

"Also, what's going on with Deng Guozhu?"

Gui Ye said: "He has prepared the supplies and is preparing to transport them to Hongzhou. In addition, Xu Haoguang gave him a batch of jewelry and asked him to resell them. He put the jewelry in the supplies. He thought it was transported out of the capital. I suspect that the jewelry has unknown origin, and maybe it was a stolen property."

"You go and find out, if it is a stolen property, you will end it immediately."

Lin Chenyao remembered Chu Xinyu's explanation, and Deng Guozhu was the only person who could prove Xu Zhilan's identity. Such an important person could not be silenced like Zheng Ying.

Then he added: "Also, after leaving the capital, build a good theater."

As soon as Gui Ye heard this, he understood what he meant and said, "Go and prepare."
