Chapter 243: Cover up

"Then what should I do about this? Is it really impossible to cover the past for the prince?" Fang Qizhang sighed deeply. I wanted to be an upright official, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult.
Zhang Zhenglan nodded, "This matter, the prince's matter will not be mentioned for the time being. Just report Ji Xiaofeng's matter."
The next day.
The emperor stared at Zhang Zhenglan who was here to report, with a vicious expression in his eyes, "Is it that simple?"
Zhang Zhenglan trembled a little, "The emperor, this matter... Then Ji Xiaofeng will not let go after all the suffering. The subordinate is incompetent, unable to ask..." How dare he tell the truth? Just bowing his head, he did not dare to look directly at the emperor.
The emperor watched Zhang Zhenglan quietly, and the whole Hall of Yangxin was quiet, and even the sound of palace people walking outside could be heard.
Zhang Zhenglan only felt that time was still, and he did not dare to lift his head. If he lost his black hat today, it would be inevitable.
"That's it. Ji Xiaofeng is a bone, and you can't be blamed for this." A moment later, Zhang Zhenglan was relieved by the emperor's words. His body suddenly softened, and kowtow, "Thank you, the emperor. Thank you, the emperor."
It's just that, in this matter, they all know that they have a relationship with the prince. If they hide it from the emperor, this is the crime of deceiving the emperor! Zhang Zhenglan said, "The emperor, do you want to ask yourself? Maybe Ji Xiaofeng can tell the truth under Longwei?"
If the emperor asked him, he would have nothing to do with their criminal department, and Feng Xuanming would naturally find no reason to start.
Who knows, the emperor shook his head and chuckled, "Since you can't ask, can I still ask?"
Zhang Zhenglan looked up at the emperor, but saw some deep meaning in the emperor's eyes. He immediately understood it. If this matter was found out clearly and the center was turbulent, it would even affect his whole body. Therefore, even if something was found out, the emperor would not move.
"You are Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry. There are some things that you can consider yourself and not let outsiders know. Do you understand?" In the next second, the emperor's cold words came out, causing Zhang Zhenglan to tremble.
He nodded repeatedly, "The minister understands, the minister understands."
"Go down." The emperor waved his hand. "All Ji Xiaofeng's property will be confiscated, and all the young and old in the family, as well as those over seven years old, will be exiled."
After coming out of the Hall of Yangxin, Zhang Zhenglan only felt sweat all over her body. Fortunately, they did not inform the emperor of this matter. The affairs of the court were not as justice as they thought. Some things, after all, have to be buried in the heart.
When Zhang Zhenglan returned to the Criminal Department, she saw someone in the courtyard. The man was dressed in black and was tall and daunting. The people around were lying on the ground, looking really horrible.
"Who are you?" Zhang Zhenglan snorted in her heart. Seeing this scene, this person is not good. But, who is so brave to come to the Criminal Ministry to make trouble?
The man turned around and said, "Master Zhang, long time no see."
When he saw the faces of the people in front of him clearly, Zhang Zhenglan's face became stiff, "Yi, Prince Yi?"
Prince Yi died for more than a month, how could he appear here! Could it be that he is dazzled? He backed up a few steps and was about to run out, but he was hit by a stone on the inside of his knee, and he fell to the ground.
As soon as he wanted to shout, a cold touch came from his neck, "If you want to shout, please try my sword fast enough."
"King Yi for mercy, King Yi for mercy!"
"I came today, I have a few things to ask Master Zhang, I wonder if Master Zhang is free?" Feng Xuanche's cold voice came from above his head. Where did Zhang Zhenglan dare to refuse, and said quickly, "I'm free, free. ."
After a while, Zhang Zhenglan knelt on the ground and looked at Feng Xuanche who was sitting in the upper position.
Seeing Feng Xuan Che's expression on his face was very good, he hesitated to say something and didn't dare to ask.
"This king knows, you are thinking, why this king came back before he died, and also came to this penal department first." Feng Xuanche sneered and said.
Zhang Zhenglan swallowed, "His Royal Highness Yi is so wealthy, how could he die by the bandits. However, the officials really don't know why His Highness Yi came to the small place of the Criminal Ministry instead."
"I have never told anyone about my return to Beijing. Even the people in the Yi Palace do not know." Feng Xuanche looked at the long sword in his hand, with a smile on his face like a murderous god.
Zhang Zhenglan stunned, and suddenly understood, "There is absolutely no third person who knows about the matter of King Yi today."
Feng Xuan Che was very satisfied. Although Zhang Zhenglan said that he was a little less courageous, but an upright person, he would never regret what he promised.
"I just wanted to ask, did the emperor know about the prince this time?" Feng Xuan Che narrowed his eyes and asked every word.
"No, never. His Royal Highness squeezed his subordinates and Fang Qizhang's wife and children, and I didn't dare to report it. Besides, today..." He raised his head, facing the eyes of Shang Feng Xuan Che, frightened. It flicked again.
"Besides what?" Feng Xuanche frowned.
Zhang Zhenglan took a deep breath, which calmed her mood, "Besides, the emperor seems... don't want to check it anymore." Although it is strange why Feng Xuanche knows about the relationship between the household department and the prince, But Zhang Zhenglan still dare not hide it. I knew Feng Xuan Che was a cruel person, but he didn't want to be so terrifying.
"I know. Master Zhang's errands are done well. As long as he adheres to such a fair and unshakable attitude, his father will definitely use it again." Before leaving, Feng Xuan Che said such a mocking sentence.
These words made Zhang Zhenglan dumbfounded. Could it be that King Yi didn't die but didn't return to Beijing. Did the emperor mean?
However, King Yi left, but left a corpse in the courtyard...what can he do? Zhang Zhenglan hurried to the yard, only to find that the chest of the person lying on the ground was still undulating, thinking that he was still alive.
At this time, Zhang Zhenglan was taken aback. Seeing Feng Xuanche's departure direction, his heart moved slightly.
King Yi, the person who was rumored to be murderous, was a black and white person. But the prince was glamorous, but his private affairs were so unbearable.
After such a comparison, I just felt that what Feng Xuan Che was carrying was the aura of the king.
Zhang Zhenglan was suddenly shocked. Could it be that the emperor concealed the fact that King Yi was alive in order to...
Back at the inn, Du Xuechun hurriedly asked, "How is it? Does the emperor know Feng Xuanming's face?"
Feng Xuanche nodded, "It seems that the emperor has always known about it. But he didn't want to send out Feng Xuanming, thinking it was because of the power of the queen."
This time, although the prince was not punished. But as soon as the household affairs happened, the prince stayed out of the matter, not knowing how much the prince's camp felt. It seems that the father's every move is deeply considered. Not forcing the prince to turn over, but also getting the results he wanted, this is the real way to be the king.
"Tomorrow, I want to go back to Xiangfu to have a look. See how grandma is going, are you going with me?" Du Xuechun asked.
"I won't go. If I go out, it would be too eye-catching. Today's Zhang Zhenglan, if he is not a good person, I will not rush to see him." This Zhang Zhenglan is for him to be recruited in the future. Down.
