Chapter 518: The People Behind the Scenes

"Why should I believe that you are telling the truth?"

"This is my answer, it's up to you to believe it or not!"

Yan Yilun said firmly: "I met him in front of Mujing Bay in Changsui. He seemed to know my situation well. He knew that I would come to Yanchuan City to find my second uncle, so he told me about Lingshan.

It might be useful to me."

Zhao Cheng stared at Yan Yilun coldly, his enthusiastic expression did not look like he was faking it.

"Cui Wuming has disappeared for so long. If he doesn't show up again, I will almost forget about him." Zhao Cheng snorted coldly.

Yang Taozhi said: "As far as I know, Cui Wuming is just a swordsman and has always been Su Wansan's guard. He is good at killing people, but he has no strategy. But Yan Yilun's description made me see a different Cui

No life."

Zhao Cheng said: "You mean, Cui Wuming was ordered by others?"

Yang Taozhi said: "Either he was instigated by others, or Yan Yilun lied."

Yan Yilun immediately said: "I really didn't lie! That Cui Wuming broke an arm, but the murderous intention on his body was very strong. By the way, he also said that his arm was cut off by Xu Qingshan, and he wanted to find it

Xu Qingshan takes revenge!"

Zhao Cheng and Yang Taozhi looked at each other.

At this time, Zhao Yan led a fat man out of the cell and said, "Brother, I found something!"

Zhao Cheng saw that the fat man following Zhao Yan was actually Zhu Guoneng, and walked out quickly.

Yan Yilun chased and shouted: "You haven't told me yet..."

"Wait aside for now!" Zhao Cheng shouted.

Yan Yilun complained: "You have to wait for me again..."

Zhao Cheng stopped in front of Zhao Yan and asked: "Lao San, what's going on?"

"Boss Zhu said he knows the old guy who wants to kill you." Zhao Yan turned sideways and let Zhu Guo out.

Zhu Guoneng bowed to Zhao Cheng and said: "Xiao Xiangye, it's like this. When you were assassinated by the assassin, there was an old servant in my house who was in the crowd. He saw the old man and thought he looked familiar, so he came back and told me.

When I heard that the matter was related to the young prime minister, I didn't dare to neglect, so I quickly went to the third master to identify the body, and found this person..."

"What an old acquaintance!"

Zhao Cheng knew that Zhu Guoneng said so many prefixes to show his loyalty, so he said gently: "I am very grateful that Boss Zhu can take care of me. Please tell me carefully."

Zhu Guoneng nodded and said, "This old man's name is Su Mingcheng, and he was the old housekeeper of the Su family."

"Su family?" Zhao Cheng asked, "Su Wansan's Su?"

"Exactly!"

Zhu Guoneng continued: "Su Mingcheng has a very high status in the Su family. In the past, when my Zhu family was dealing with the Su family, it was not easy to even meet him, let alone the three brothers Su Wan. For the previous generations, he

Everyone in the family is a slave of the Su family, and the surname Su was given by the head of the Su family."

"When we come to Su Mingcheng, Su Wansan has a very good relationship with him. He has been brought up by Su Mingcheng since he was a child, and he calls Su Mingcheng his best friend."

Zhao Cheng asked: "Why did Su Mingcheng escape when the Su family was executed?"

Zhu Guoneng said: "About ten years ago, Su Mingcheng had an accident and injured his leg. From then on, he became unlucky. He was not young at that time. Su Wansan felt sorry for him, so he gave him a sum of money.

He went to live for a thousand years, and I heard that he later settled in Jingbei County. Something happened to Su Wansan, so he must have been missed, or by the time the court thought of him, he had already run away."

Zhao Cheng thought about Zhu Guoneng's words, looked at Yang Taozhi, and said, "So Cui Wuming found Yan Yilun, and Su Mingcheng's actions are all to avenge Su Wansan?"

Yang Taozhi said: "That's how it should be."

Zhao Hu also said: "If Yan Yilun succeeded, Su Mingcheng would not have to take action. But it happened that Yan Yilun failed, so Su Mingcheng made a desperate move."

"Boss Zhu, thank you. You go back first. I will remember this."

"Young Master, your words are serious, I will resign first!"

After Zhu Guoneng left, Zhao Cheng said solemnly: "Your analysis is correct, but there is one doubt."

Everyone looked towards Zhao Cheng.

Zhao Cheng said: "The Su family shouldn't know about Lingshan."

Yang Taozhi asked: "Do you have someone to suspect?"

Zhao Cheng said: "Sister, you just said that Cui Wuming is just a swordsman. He does not have the ability to plan. He should be ordered by others. Then the person behind the scenes should be someone who knows about Lingshan, or he doesn't actually know about Lingshan."

The details of the mountain are unknown, but I doubt the people who came to Lingshan."

"I can only think of one person who meets this qualification." Zhao Cheng glanced at Yang Taozhi and Zhao Hu alternately.

During the battle of Lingshan, both Yang Taozhi and Zhao Hu were present.

"Yang Qingzhi!!" the two said at the same time.

Zhao Cheng nodded and said: "He is the most likely, but it doesn't make sense."

Zhao Hu's head was spinning and he asked: "Why doesn't it make sense?"

Yang Taozhi explained: "The Chamber of Commerce has built factories in Jiangyang County and Yunjing County. Yang Qingzhi is waiting to open trade between the two countries to make money. He will not take action against Acheng at this time."

Zhao Cheng said: "There is another point. If the Southern Zhou Dynasty wants to maintain civil strife in Dajing, it will not actively promote the destruction of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion or the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. This is also the reason why I dared to let Yang Qingzhi go in Lingshan. You see

, and he did keep the secret for me, because he knew that the Youxiang Mansion was too weak at that time, and the emperor was suspicious of my father. If I became too popular in Lingshan, the emperor might take action against the Youxiang Mansion.

It may be destroyed in one fell swoop.”

"If both the Left Prime Minister's Office and the Right Prime Minister's Office are still there, they will not only be able to cause internal friction with each other, but they will also be able to contain Yuan Zhang."

"His father, Yang Zhanbei, wouldn't let him do that."

Zhao Hu frowned and said: "This is not right, and that is not right either. Didn't you talk for a long time in vain?"

"When you peel off the cocoon, the truth will be revealed bit by bit like an onion."

Zhao Cheng squinted his eyes and said: "Although I am sure that Yang Qingzhi will not kill me now, I also think that Yang Qingzhi is involved in this matter. Sister, you and the old man hid the matter from Lingshan even from me.

It can be seen that you have done a good job in keeping secrets. So the person behind Cui Wuming should be Yang Qingzhi."

"It's just that there should be someone else between Cui Wuming and Yang Qingzhi."

"This person is the one who plans the plan."

"Yang Qingzhi didn't want anything to happen to me at this time, but this man wanted me dead, so he arranged for Cui Wuming and Su Mingcheng to deal with me. He probably kept it secret from Yang Qingzhi."

Yang Taozhi also frowned and said attentively: "Who could this person be?"

"I have no idea."

Zhao Cheng put his hands behind his back and looked into the darkness deep in the cell. If he listened carefully, he would hear rustling sounds.

"There are always some people who are like rats hiding in the dark, looking for food while secretly paying attention to you, and coming up to bite you when they get the chance."

Zhao Cheng turned around, looked at everyone and said, "Before Su Mingcheng committed suicide, he said that he was sorry for the little master. Do you think this little master called Su Wansan?"

Zhao Yan, who had remained silent, said: "Zhu Guoneng said that Su Wansan called Su Mingcheng his first companion, so it is not surprising that Su Mingcheng called Su Wansan his young master."

Zhao Cheng shook his head and said: "I don't think so. When Su Wansan was young, Su Mingcheng could call him like this. But now that he is old, it is not appropriate to call him like this anymore."

"Cui Wuming is Su Wansan's guard. It is impossible for Su Mingcheng to call him the young master."

"Then the young master Su Mingcheng talks about should be a descendant of the Su family."
