"Marquis Zhongyong meets the eldest prince."
As soon as Zhou Yue saw the eldest prince coming, the expression on his face could not help but soften a little.
The murderer of his son Zhou Lie’s death has not yet been determined.
Originally there was anger in his heart, and he wanted to order the city gate guards to carefully investigate the situation last night, but those people kept resisting.
You don’t need to think about it, it must have been an order from above.
This matter may also be related to some major events.
If it had nothing to do with Zhou Yue, maybe he could tolerate it.
But this matter was related to his son's life, how could he just let it go?
So since Zhou Lie's body was brought back in the morning, he has been holding back his anger.
Fortunately, the person under his command just now said that the eldest prince was coming and had some details to explain clearly, so he couldn't help but have some expectations in his heart.
The eldest prince waved his hand, signaling Zhou Yue to refrain from courtesy.
Zhou Yuezao could no longer hold back the emotion of hope in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Your Highness, the people under your command said that you have some details about the death of the dog?"
The eldest prince sighed.
Then he said: "There is indeed some speculation. There is no evidence at present, but I have already guessed who did the death of brother Zhou Lie."
He did not directly Say it.
Because this Zhou family is just a pawn in his opinion, and they will definitely become cannon fodder in the end.
But if Zhou Yue knew that this was a trap and knew that he had become a pawn, he might bite Xuan Fei back.
However, Zhou Yue could no longer maintain his rationality at this time.
His eyes were instantly filled with anger, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Dare you ask the eldest prince, who is this murderer?"
"You dare to kill my son, Marquis Zhongyong, I don’t mind letting him have a taste of death!”
You know, he is only a legitimate son, and the other concubines are all concubines, and they are not qualified to inherit the position of marquis.
So from the beginning, Zhongyong Hou Zhou Yue has been cultivating Zhou Lie.
But how could he have imagined that he would be sent to a black-haired person by a white-haired person.
The most critical point is that Zhou Lie died in Xuanwu City.
This is their noble territory. Zhou Lie died on his own territory, how could he bear it.
The eldest prince did not say Jun Lintian's name, but looked around.
Zhou Yue instantly understood what the eldest prince meant.
He immediately winked at his wife and concubine, signaling them to leave.
However, Zhou Yue's wife was a little stunned. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and asked in disbelief: "Master, do I, do I want to go out too?"
"What's the matter? I can’t hear this, Lie’er is my child!”
Zhou Yue was not soft-hearted, and even looked more serious.
"What do women know? Get out quickly!"
His wife suddenly cried louder and hurriedly left the flower hall. Covered by the handkerchief, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
The eldest lady only gave birth to such a son, and now he is dead, so any of them will have the opportunity to correct himself and become the head wife.
In the future, their sons will no longer be concubines, but legitimate sons.
Instead, he became qualified to inherit the position of Marquis.
What they were crying over there just now was just pretending. After the women had left, the eldest prince said: "I think Marquis Zhongyong must have heard about something that happened at Xuanyuan Auction House yesterday."
Zhongyong Hou nodded, but a strange look flashed between his eyebrows.
“His Royal Highness the eldest prince means...Jun Lintian?”
Yesterday at Xuanyuan Auction House, Zhou Lie's slap from Jun Lintian was actually not a big deal, it was nothing more than a loss of dignity.
But after receiving that slap, the matter was over.
Besides, Marquis Zhongyong is also a sensible person. He knew that it was his own son who was at fault first, so he deserved this slap.
Although Jun Lintian said that he relied on the Jun family, he would not kill people in the Xuanwu Empire.
And the people killed were members of the Xungui family.
Can His Majesty Emperor Wu spare him?
After Zhongyong Hou stated his guess, Xuan Fei let out a long sigh.
"Alas..."
"Old Marquis, my father already knows about this matter, and I even told him my guess."
>Zhongyong Hou’s expression changed and he quickly asked: “What did your Majesty say?”
An imperceptible sinister smile appeared on the corner of Xuan Fei's lips.
Then he said: "Father said...he has given an order that no one can embarrass Jun Lintian, let alone cause trouble for Jun Lintian."
"Even if it is really Jun Lintian Tian killed Zhou Lie, but without evidence, he would definitely not investigate Jun Lintian. "What?" After hearing this, Hou Zhongyong's eyes were shocked.
He couldn't believe it. When did His Majesty the Emperor of Wu not care about the feelings of the honorable nobles, but instead went out of his way to please the young master of the Jun family?
Is it just because Jun Haotian led an army of 100,000 to capture Xuanyang City?
Zhongyong Hou has been in the army for many years and has a hot temper. How can he hold it back now?
"Your Majesty, did you really say that?"
Xuan Fei nodded heavily, and then sighed: "My father is as timid as a mouse and is so timid. This prince deserves it. Share his worries."
"Zhou Lie is my prince's brother and we have grown up together. This prince will definitely avenge him!"
"But I don't have the manpower here, so I hope that the old Marquis can help me."
No matter what, Zhongyong Hou said that since he was given the word loyalty, he is loyal to His Majesty and loyal to his heart. Of the imperial court.
At this moment, when he heard Xuan Fei's statement, his expression changed slightly.
Zhou Yue said: "The eldest prince's words are wrong. Your Majesty is not like what His Highness said... Now that the border is difficult, Your Majesty is just more thoughtful."
"Isn't it because of the Jun family's power that Jun Lintian is able to show off his power in Xuanwu City? Our Xuanwu Empire is currently weak in military strength, and it is difficult for Your Majesty to handle it."
But...
Although Zhongyong Hou said so, who can understand the pain of losing a child?
His eyes soon became serious: "Your Majesty is in trouble, I know it."
"But this revenge must be avenged!"
"His Royal Highness, the eldest prince, is a prince. At this time, there is no need for His Majesty Wu Ni's wishes. As long as it is confirmed that my son is really killed by Jun Lintian, our Zhou family will naturally avenge it and will never involve the eldest prince!"< br>
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Marquis Zhongyong's eyes.
"I wonder if Your Highness has any definite evidence?"
A sneer appeared at the corner of Xuan Fei's lips, and he quickly hid it.
“Of course there is evidence, but it is not physical evidence, but witness!”
“Last night, my prince’s bodyguard was drinking in a restaurant next to Princess Nineteenth Mansion. It happened that I stumbled upon the hidden whereabouts of the Zhou Lie brothers and took the two people from the Qi family and the Huang family to the Nineteenth Princess' Mansion." (End of Chapter)
