Chapter 2339 Suspicion
Qin Wenzheng stayed, until only he and the emperor were left in the imperial study. The emperor asked, "What do you think about today's affairs?"
Qin Wenzheng was silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "The emperor is referring to... King Lu?"
The emperor ?? glanced at him, "Don't play stupid, honestly, I forgive you."
"I don't dare to hide it. In fact, I have one thing in my heart and I don't dare to say it." Qin Wenzheng suddenly knelt down, his tone was low, with unprecedented solemnity.
The emperor frowned, "You get up, it's just you and me in this imperial study, just say something."
Qin Wenzheng got up, took a deep breath, and walked to the emperor's side.
Although there were only the two of them in the imperial study, Qin Wenzheng's voice was extremely low in case the partition wall had ears, "Your Majesty, there is indeed a reason for King Lu to target Shao Qingyuan and his wife. Shao Qingyuan and his wife discovered his secret, and he wanted to kill someone. Silence."
The emperor was taken aback, "What secret?"
"The two of them saw with their own eyes that the leader of the water bandits wanted in the capital last year had close contacts with King Lu."
The ?? emperor suddenly raised his head in shock, looking at him with an incredible look, "What did you say?"
Qin Wenzheng said in a low voice, "I don't dare to deceive the emperor, this is indeed what they told me. It's just that this matter is very important, and I don't dare to act rashly before investigating. However, King Lu knew that their husband and wife saw it, and he The leader of the water bandit has been transferred, and the minister has been secretly searching for it for the past few days, but so far there is no clue."
The ?? emperor looked furious and slapped the table, "You didn't tell me about such a big thing."
"Your Majesty forgives your sin." Qin Wenzheng immediately knelt down, "After all, it is a matter without evidence, so I dare not tell the emperor to worry about it. Moreover, I am not sure whether Shao Qingyuan and his wife really saw it. The king and the Marquis of Huaiyin had a personal grievance, and the minister was worried that they would exaggerate because of some personal grievances. The minister wanted to investigate the matter privately, so as not to wrong the loyal minister. But I didn't expect such a thing to happen today. Keep it a secret, I'm afraid it will…”
This matter was just on the way to the palace, Shao Qingyuan told him.
Actually, Qin Wenzheng wanted to know where the weapons went. However, after hearing this, his attention shifted.
The few of them discussed it, and put forward the date when the leader of the water bandit was discovered, and then took this opportunity to tell the emperor.
Although there is no evidence, King Lu's actions today are enough for the emperor to become suspicious, and it is a good time to say it.
The emperor was silent for a long time, his expression unpredictable.
King Lu colluded with the leader of the water bandit? King Lu wants to kill Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong?
King Lu, King Lu...
The emperor suddenly remembered the reason why he wanted the leader of the water bandits. At first, it was because the water bandits wanted to kill and cross the merchant ships, but he did not expect that they would be wiped out in one fell swoop. And the news that came out at that time was that the gang of water bandits were going to attack the nobles on the merchant ships.
Coincidentally, Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan were on that boat.
So, the water bandits and King Lu have colluded, he started with them, is King Lu trying to kill them?
Why? King Lu and Shao Qingyuan and his wife should have nothing to do with each other before.
The emperor thought of Gu Yundong's cry just now, was it really because the couple gave him too much credit?
Some things really can't be thought about deeply, and when you think about it, the doubts in your heart will grow bigger and bigger.
