More than 20 years have passed since the incident, and it is not easy to find out again.
Dong Guojiu sent people to look around, and found Zhuangzi where Liu was recuperating. However, Zhuangzi had already changed owners, and the people had changed several times. No matter how many times he asked, he could not be sure.
The matter had reached a deadlock, and he was worried, so Chang Sui came to report in a hurry.
"Master, it's not good."
"What's up?"
"The news came from Phoenix Town. Liu Jiulang was drunk, jealous, and was beaten to death!"
"What?" Dong Guojiu's face changed drastically and he stood up abruptly.
Chang Sui's face was full of shame: "This little guy is incompetent, so no one thinks highly of him."
Uncle Dong Guo was stunned for a while, then slowly sat back and murmured: "How could it be such a coincidence? How big is Phoenix Town..."
As he spoke, he raised his head and asked: "Who is the other party? Have you checked it?"
Chang Sui replied: "He was a passerby. He ran away after the incident. The government did not stop him."
The more Uncle Dong Guo thought about it, the more frightened he became: "Is it possible that someone has silenced you?"
It can even happen that the prince is not the queen's biological child, and he doesn't dare to take any chances now.
Just like this, there is a question before us. If Liu Jiulang is really silenced, who did it? Is his investigation of Liu's family known? Is there anyone who doesn't want him to continue the investigation?
He was the first to doubt Emperor Mingde, but quickly rejected it. It was Emperor Mingde himself who asked him to check Liu Qilang. If he felt something was wrong, he could just stop it, and there would be no need to worry about it.
Does that mean that there are still people who know about this matter, so he silenced them as soon as he investigated the Liu family?
But this matter is so secret, who else would know the inside story?
Uncle Dong Guo thought about it, and his expression slowly changed: "Could it be..."
Something went wrong. Uncle Dong Guo was absent-minded even when he went out to drink. He was thinking about how to test Yan Cheng. It would definitely not work to go directly to him. It would be a showdown. Moreover, he was not sure whether Yan Cheng did it. If it was true,
If so, would you suspect that he knows the truth and kill him?
The most important thing is that he can't alert the enemy now. Yan Cheng is still the prince, and Emperor Mingde's attitude is unclear. He is afraid of causing trouble for his sister and Yan Ling.
Just as he was thinking about it, a car stopped next to him, and the car curtains were lifted, revealing Yan Cheng's face: "Uncle, where are you going?"
What he was thinking about came to him. Uncle Dong Guo was startled, but he quickly calmed down and saluted, "Why are you here, Your Highness? Aren't you busy today?"
"I'm just out to do some business." Yan Cheng answered briefly and then said, "Why is uncle so outspoken? We are a family that doesn't need those false courtesy. You just call me A Cheng as usual."
"This is not good..."
Before he finished speaking, Yan Cheng added: "Father said so too."
Uncle Dong Guo had no choice but to agree: "Okay then, Acheng."
Yan Cheng asked again the previous question: "Where is uncle going? Do you want me to give you a ride?"
Uncle Dong Guo hadn't figured out what to do, so he said: "No, no, I bought some land recently, and I want to go to the suburbs of Beijing. You are busy with official duties, so this is not going to go well, so don't delay."
Unexpectedly, Yan Cheng looked surprised: "What a coincidence. I'm about to go on a patrol in the suburbs of Beijing. Why don't we go together?"
Uncle Dong Guo didn't expect this, but he really didn't want to get along with Yan Cheng, so he hurriedly said: "There's really no need, they will drive the car over later, so there's no need to delay you."
"Then let them follow behind. Since my uncle came to Beijing, the number of meetings has been limited, and I feel really sorry. Today it happened that I asked my uncle for some advice on business matters."
Now that the words had come to this, Uncle Dong Guo could no longer refuse, so he had to agree and get into Yan Cheng's car.
Not to mention, no matter how rich he is, Dong Palace's car cannot compare to it, after all, the specifications are here. The seats are fragrant and soft, snacks and tea are all available, and there are servants in the car waiting for you.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
Yan Cheng personally served tea to Dong Guojiu, waved the waiter to go down, and they were alone.
"What are you busy with, uncle? I met my aunt at the palace last time. I heard that you have been away from home a lot recently."
Dong Guojiu said with a smile: "What can we be busy with? It's not just that. Our family has moved back, and the industry will naturally be brought back."
"What kind of industries has my uncle bought? I am studying people's livelihood recently and need to know about this aspect."
Dong Guojiu composed himself and replied: "I just bought some Zhuangzi, and then I'll see if I can buy some land in the surrounding area and open a few shops."
"Surroundings?" Yan Cheng looked very interested, "Are you talking about the counties in Gyeonggi Province?"
"Yes, land is expensive in Beijing, and buying a shop is still too expensive, but those counties are cheaper and there is a lot of traffic..."
The two of them exchanged words with each other and really got into a discussion.
As he was talking, Yan Cheng suddenly asked: "Which one does uncle like the most? How about Phoenix Town?"
Uncle Dong Guo was frightened when he heard him mention Fenghuang Town. He glanced at it and saw that Yan Cheng didn't look unusual. He just replied: "Fenghuang Town is a bit out of the way, so you have to take your time to see it."
Yan Cheng said oh and asked about other things.
The two of them talked all the way, and the car drove out of the city gate. Yan Cheng ordered the people to stop: "Uncle, I have to divert to the military camp, so I sent it here."
Uncle Dong Guo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said with a smile: "Okay, you go and do the work. Be careful on the way."
Yan Cheng nodded lightly: "Thank you for your concern, uncle. You should take more care."
The nephew and uncle said goodbye. Dong Guojiu got into his car and collapsed on the seat.
He was scared to death. He suddenly asked about Phoenix Town, almost thinking that Yan Cheng knew. What was going on with this kid? He looked the same today. Could it be that he didn't know his life experience either?
Uncle Dong Guo was thinking about it and was suddenly startled.
No, he was talking about several counties at the beginning, but Fenghuang Town was an inconspicuous town. Why did Yan Cheng mention it alone? It happened to be Fenghuang Town, not any other town.
When this thought came to mind, Uncle Dong Guo could no longer feel at ease. He raised the curtain of the car and shouted: "Azhong, turn around, let's go back to the city!"
But no one answered after he called several times. Uncle Dong Guo noticed something strange and reached out to grab the long clothes.
But before his hand could even touch it, he was caught.
The long attendant with his back to him turned his head and raised the hat on his head, revealing a strange and malicious face: "Uncle, be careful, we can't afford to pay for it if it falls.
"
Uncle Dong Guo was shocked: "Who are you? What do you want to do? Stop the car quickly, I want to go back to the city!"
The two officers exchanged glances, then turned back and rushed into the carriage at the same time. One grabbed his upper body and covered his mouth, and the other took out his belt to tie his hands.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Dongguojiu struggled desperately, his eyes were about to burst.
He now knows that the person who killed Liu Jiulang was really Yan Cheng. This kid has known his life experience for a long time! Does he want to kill him now? His sister has raised him for so many years, and he actually repays kindness like this!
Unfortunately, Uncle Dong Guo was alone and struggled fiercely. The opponent became impatient and simply knocked him unconscious with a knife.
The carriage stopped shaking for a moment, then left the main road and entered the lane, and soon disappeared.
