Chapter 607: Prince Zhaonan's Rebellion

In a dark room.

Su Jian'an staggered and fell on the chair.

His face turned pale.

In the gloomy mood, a depressing momentum brewed.

He stared hard at the guard kneeling in front of him, and said in a low voice with a hint of trembling, "Are you sure it's the Madam's body?"

The guard who was kneeling on the ground did not dare to express his anger at this moment.

"My subordinates led people to search all over the capital, and found a burned courtyard in the western suburbs of the capital. They found two remaining bones from the courtyard. The bones could not be identified, but..."

The guard tremblingly lowered a piece of jade: "Subordinate, I found this piece of jade at the scene..."

When Su Jianan saw the jade in the guard's hand, his face turned pale.

No more words could be said.

He is very familiar with this piece of jade!

It was the jade that his wife carried close to her body.

So, that means...

For an instant, Su Jianan couldn't say a word, his face was gloomy, and the heavy pressure made people breathless.

"Check, check for me!"

"Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will find the murderer!"

"yes!"

"..."

When the guards left, Su Jianan was the only one left in the dark room.

He fell down on the sandalwood chair and stared blankly at the night outside the window.

He already had an ominous premonition in his heart.

He had a premonition that something was wrong ever since his wife went out in the morning. I just didn't expect that something happened...

Not long ago, he sent his ministers to secretly protect his wife.

Unexpectedly, the enshrined corpse was found in a small alley in the capital!

The worshiper was killed, the lady and the others...

Su Jianan didn't dare to imagine, but he already had doubts and guesses in his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked into the distance.

A trace of coldness and disbelief appeared on his face.

"Somebody come!"

Soon, two maids appeared outside the door, lowering their heads tremblingly: "Master!"

Su Jianan originally wanted to say something, but then he thought of something else.

He stared coldly and left the room quickly.

Not long after, he appeared at the entrance of another courtyard in Su Mansion.

Outside the door, there were still two maids standing.

"master!"

Su Jianan's arrival made the maid at the door lower her head and speak respectfully.

"Where's Shan'er?"

Su Jianan's cold eyes fell on the two maids. The two maids looked at each other, lowering their heads and not daring to answer.

Seeing this, Su Jianan realized something.

Step into the courtyard.

The courtyard is empty.

Deserted!

The original people are all gone!

At this moment, Su Jianan finally determined something!

His expression suddenly changed and he staggered again.

"master!"

The maid behind him quickly supported him.

But at this moment, the prime minister who had dedicated his whole life to Da Zhao finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"puff!"

Qi and blood attack the heart, and a mouthful of blood spurts out.

Passed out.

…

at the same time.

Royal palace, inside the main hall.

"Your Majesty, it's not good..."

Zhao Jing sat on the dragon chair and frowned when he heard the servant's report.

"He ran away?"

"Yes, our people have already chased and intercepted!"

Zhao Jing thought for a moment: "No need!"

"Let him be."

After learning that Li Beifeng was leaving the city, Zhao Jing already knew that he would not be able to catch up.

He knows Li Beifeng!

Now that he has left the city, he must have some back-up preparations. It is no longer possible to catch him.

Besides...

Zhao Jing squinted his eyes slightly.

Xie Waner is still in the palace now, but he doesn't believe that Li Beifeng will never come back.

What's more important is...

Zhao Jing squinted his eyes slightly and glanced at His Highness' people: "What is the current situation in Su Mansion?"

His Highness reported: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Su Mansion... I heard that Prime Minister Su's wife is missing. Now the Su Mansion is mobilizing the agents from Jingzhao Mansion and Qintiansi in the capital to conduct a full search..."

"I heard that Prime Minister Su was so angry that he fainted..."

"Search..."

Zhao Jing murmured to himself.

He already knew the answer from the moment Li Beifeng left the capital.

I’m afraid that Su Xiang’s wife has…

Thinking of this, Zhao Jing felt a little uneasy in his heart.

When he heard the news that Su Xiang had fainted and died, Zhao Jing felt a little worried again. He pondered for a moment and said, "Quickly, please invite some imperial doctors from the palace to the Su Mansion!"

"yes!"

He knew very well that the death of Mrs. Su Xiang was also inseparable from him.

In other words, her death was probably caused by Zhao Jing!

"Brother Li, I have helped you so much, I hope you won't break your promise!"

Zhao Jing murmured to himself.

Then, without frowning, he stared at the information on the table.

Those sharp eyes stared at him, and an uneasy feeling surged into his heart.

A few days ago, Li Beifeng found him and made a transaction with him.

He helped Li Beifeng lure Mrs. Su out of the house, and Li Beifeng told him some important intelligence information.

At this moment, what Zhao Jing is facing is the information about Beizhou in the past few years!

Zhao Jing knew that the situation in Beizhou was serious, but he did not expect it to be much more serious than he imagined.

Today's Beizhou is in chaos, plus that time last year...

In order to gain Li Suyi's support, Zhao Jing handed over the list of officials in Beizhou to Li Suyi, which led to the assassination of many officials.

Nowadays, most of the officials in Beizhou have just been promoted. Putting aside the abilities of these people, how loyal can they be to the court?

More importantly, the military power of Beizhou is in the hands of He Wansheng!

After the demise of the Northern Qi Dynasty, in order to integrate the Northern Qi Dynasty into the Zhao Dynasty, the emperor named He Wansheng, who had great military achievements, as the governor of Beizhou. He was responsible for all military and political affairs of the Northern Qi Dynasty!

In recent years, He Wansheng has become more and more powerful in Beizhou.

Almost all the officials and forces in Beizhou were under his control, and the entire military and political affairs of Beizhou fell into his hands.

What's more important is...

He still has nearly 200,000 Jokhang soldiers and horses!

Once he really rebels...

Thinking of this, Zhao Jing couldn't help but shed a cold sweat!

According to the information Li Beifeng brought him, He Wansheng had surrendered to the emperor's uncle. If all this is true, then...

The consequences are disastrous.

The emperor's uncle rebelled and raised troops from the south of the Yangtze River. If he is completely undefended, a large army will be mobilized to suppress it.

Beizhou is the closest to the capital and is also the best opportunity to mobilize troops.

But if He Wansheng really has surrendered to the emperor's uncle, he will be unprepared when the time comes. He Wansheng's army can go south directly from Beizhou and easily break into Zhongzhou, jeopardizing the capital...

Thinking of this, Zhao Jing felt a chill on his back!

This information is really important!

Whether true or false, he had to guard against it!

The emperor's uncle has worked hard for more than ten years, but no one knows how far his strength has penetrated.

"Somebody come!"

Not long after, a figure appeared silently in front of the hall.

"I have a decree, and I need you to deliver it!"

The figure said in a deep voice: "To whom?"

Zhao Jing said with a solemn expression, "The governor of Xizhou!"

…

In the morning, it's still dark.

From the imperial palace in the capital, several figures galloped out on horseback without any hindrance. Then these figures left on horseback, heading in different directions to carry out their missions.

The situation in the capital suddenly became serious for no reason.

In the early morning of this day, a quiet news suddenly spread in the capital.

"Have you heard? Prime Minister Su's wife was killed yesterday?"

"What? Such a thing can happen?! It's impossible, right?!"

"How is it impossible? I saw with my own eyes yesterday that the Su Mansion sent countless people to search in the capital. Even people from Jingzhao Mansion and Qintiansi were dispatched... When did you see Jingzhao Mansion and Qintiansi people are dispatched at the same time?”

"It seems right. Jingzhao Mansion and Qintiansi are not in conflict with each other, and it is really strange to suddenly act together!"

"I have a friend who works as an errand in Jingzhao Mansion. He secretly told me everything yesterday... I heard that a house in the western suburbs of the capital was burned down yesterday, and two charred corpses were found in the courtyard. , I heard that it was Mrs. Su and a young lady from the Su family..."

"..."

The news spread quietly in the capital, and then caused an uproar.

This incident was really shocking to the people of the capital!

The dignified prime minister’s wife was actually killed?

It’s incredible!

There were still many people who were skeptical at first, but when they saw the people in the Su Mansion constantly coming in and out in the past two days, and everyone had a calm expression, they became somewhat convinced.

Subsequently, the news continued to spread throughout the capital, quickly arousing heated discussion.

"Oh my god, who is this person? He dares to kill even Mrs. Su? Are you crazy?"

"Do you remember that not long ago, Su Xiang's eldest son was also killed... Do you think there is any connection between this?"

"You mean...the murderer is the same person?! Oh my god, who has a grudge against the Su family and actually does such a thing?"

"I killed Prime Minister Su's son, and now I've killed Prime Minister Su's wife. Is this a mortal hatred? Now, Prime Minister Su can't turn our capital upside down?!"

"Hey, I have a little tidbit here, do you want to know?"

"...Let me tell you, in fact, our Prime Minister Su also had a romantic history when he was young..."

"..."

As the discussion in the capital intensified, Su Xiang's romantic history in recent years was gradually revealed by interested parties.

Subsequently, heated discussions once again arose in the capital.

The entire capital city was filled with an aura of imminent rain.

Everyone has a vague feeling that something big is about to happen!

This makes many locals in the capital feel uneasy.

…

At the same time, Su Mansion.

"Master, we have searched the capital and various places near the capital, but have not found the whereabouts of Miss Su and those people. They... I'm afraid they have left..."

In the silent courtyard.

Su Jianan stood in the yard, as if he had aged more than ten years overnight.

His hair grew paler and the wrinkles on his face deepened.

After sleeping for a day and night, he woke up and got the news.

News that he expected.

only……

Su Jianan squinted his eyes slightly and looked not far away.

The moment Su Shan left, he had already realized something.

All this...

It was all her doing.

Why...why would she do this? !

Su Jianan had a vague answer in his mind, but he didn't dare to face it!

He suddenly remembered the look in Su Shan's eyes when he saw her last time...

It was clearly a look of resentment, very similar to her mother's...

Back then, he failed to protect her mother.

And everything that happened today seemed to be his retribution.

Overnight, Su Jianan became older and older!

"Dad..."

A trembling voice came from behind.

Su Cheng!

Su Jianan's youngest son stood in the yard at some point.

His eyes were red, and he looked at Su Jianan in disbelief: "Dad, Mom, she, they..."

Su Cheng was completely stunned when he heard the news!

Unbelievable!

Not long ago, he had just accepted the news that his brother was killed.

And the person who killed his brother was his sister Qiuyue, whom he always liked...

And now, another piece of news that made him even more desperate and shocked came.

Her mother is also dead!

And the person who killed her mother was his sister Su Shan, whom he always respected and liked very much...

Sister Su Shan, who has the same father as him!

She, why did she do this?

In less than a month, he lost two of his relatives.

For Su Cheng, the blow is self-evident.

"Dad, you, you tell me..."

"Why, why..."

"Why did Sister Su Shan do that, why did she, why did she..."

Su Cheng's face was pale, his eyes were dull, and his face was full of grief and despair.

He couldn't believe it.

Sister Su Shan was so kind, how could she do such a thing?

But...

Su Jianan didn't speak.

Su Cheng stared at his father quietly for a long time!

Finally, he suddenly turned around and ran out of the Su Mansion without looking back!

...

Two days later!

The discussion about the murder of Mrs. Su in the Su Mansion in Beijing became more and more intense in Beijing.

The news about the romantic deeds of the Prime Minister Su when he was young and the news that Su Xiang had an illegitimate daughter was also revealed.

Then, a story of love, hatred and hatred that lasted for nearly 20 years was presented to all the melon-eating group leaders in Beijing.

Let everyone call it exciting!

Unexpectedly, when Prime Minister Su was young, he actually had such an emotional entanglement!

Not long after that, someone else quickly broke out.

Miss Su Shan from the Su Mansion was Prime Minister Su's illegitimate daughter.

For a time, it set off the capital again!

So that's it!

For a time, when it was learned that Miss Su was actually Prime Minister Su's illegitimate daughter, many people who had originally criticized the murderer of Mrs. Su suddenly changed their tune.

"I think Miss Su is young and beautiful, and she will never do such a vicious thing!"

"I am sure, Miss Su is well-educated, talented, and even more beautiful. It must be that Mrs. Su is too much... Mrs. Su killed Miss Su's mother, and it is human nature for Miss Su to take revenge!"

"Yes, yes, it's all because Mrs. Su is too jealous. If I were Miss Su, I would have killed her to avenge my mother long ago, and I would definitely not wait until now..."

"..."

Just when the wind direction in the capital just changed, another explosive news came instantly.

Prince Zhaonan rebelled!

Prince Zhaonan raised 100,000 soldiers in Jiangnan, issued a manifesto in the Jiangnan region in the name of pacifying the rebellion and clearing the emperor's side, and then started a rebellion!

In just three days, he quickly captured seven or eight cities in Jiangnan, with an unstoppable force.

As soon as this news was passed back to the capital, it instantly caused an uproar in the capital.

Everyone was stunned!

…
