Chapter 234 The Daily Life of the Prince of the Palace (16)
Su Zhan smiled and said nothing. Strictly speaking, Commander Zhou hid it well.
He has been following the King of Zhennan on the battlefield since he was a boy. Although he is not a confidant, he can be said to be a figure in the Zhennan army.
More than ten years ago, King Zhennan selected a guard commander for the palace. Commander Zhou, who was not weak in martial arts and had once been saved by King Zhennan, volunteered. Since then, the guard commander of Zhennan Palace has not changed.
"Although my father is a natural-born general and can use his troops like a god, his only flaw is that he will never doubt the people he trusts." Su Zhan walked slowly to the side and sat down on a chair, laughing softly.
He said, "And Commander Zhou, because of the brotherhood that has existed for more than ten years, you happen to be the type of person that he will not doubt."
"It's a pity that His Highness the Crown Prince found out in the end." Commander Zhou looked at Su Zhan with a complicated expression, "May I ask Your Highness, where did I expose my flaw?"
"I have no doubts about Commander Zhou." Su Zhan lazily crossed his legs. "I only know that some people will be unable to sit still in the face of the changes in the Sheng Dynasty."
"Compared to King Zhennan, who has been practicing martial arts every day and going to and from the military camp all day during this period, I am afraid that this prince, who has frequently been in and out of the palace recently, is more likely to have clues on his body." Su Zhan changed his legs and continued to cross his legs. "I think it must be
That’s what you think.”
"That's it." Commander Zhou suddenly realized.
King Zhennan didn't take any precautions against his family members. He had already rummaged through King Zhennan's things, but found nothing, so it was natural that he would target the only heir apparent in the palace who could make the decision.
All of this was Su Zhan's trick. She didn't need to know who the thief in the house was, she just needed to know that someone would take the bait.
"Come here, take Commander Zhou down." Commander Zhou has been lurking in the Zhennan Palace for many years. He must know a lot of secrets. If you can pry something out from his mouth, he should be able to provide a lot for her to do next.
clue.
As soon as the prince gave the order, someone immediately came forward to hold down Commander Zhou, and searched all the places on his body where weapons could be hidden. After the search was completed, Commander Zhou was escorted down.
When passing by Su Zhan, Commander Zhou said softly, "Your Majesty, you have grown up."
The tone of this sentence is too complicated, it sounds like relief and worry.
After Commander Zhou was escorted away, Su Zhan stood up, swept the hem of his clothes, and said to the guards around him, "Let's all disperse."
After dismissing the guards, Su Zhan went to see King Zhennan, who was supposed to be in trouble.
"Who is it?" King Zhennan said with a cold face and gritted teeth in his tone. He asked himself, he had never owed anything to anyone in the palace, but who poisoned him with ulterior motives.
Yes, King Zhennan's body has actually been corroded by chronic toxins, which is why the original owner, King Zhennan, died inexplicably on the battlefield.
The King of Zhennan was victorious in every battle, so there was no reason why he would die in an ordinary battle, unless he was suffering from an inexplicable serious illness and was suddenly poisoned on the battlefield, with no medicine or stone to cure him.
When Su Zhan entered the palace, he specially invited several highly respected imperial doctors with excellent medical skills. Ignoring King Zhennan's puzzled look, he just asked the imperial doctors to examine King Zhennan inside and out, and then he came to the conclusion that he was poisoned.
According to the imperial doctor, the poison in King Zhennan has been lurking in his body for at least ten years. He looks like a normal person on weekdays, but after smelling a specially made drug, he becomes poisonous.
hair.
And this poison is extremely difficult to detect. If Su Zhan hadn't specifically guided them towards poisoning this time, they might not have thought that King Zhennan was actually poisoned.
After learning that he had been tricked by someone, King Zhennan was furious and immediately agreed to Su Zhan's fishing law enforcement plan, and he must find out the person who poisoned him.
"It's Commander Zhou. I've asked people to imprison him." Su Zhan said calmly.
"How could it be him?" King Zhennan looked shocked. To be honest, he had already thought about the people around him who could be contacted and poisoned him. He even suspected the concubines in his backyard.
, but there was no doubt that Commander Zhou led these guards.
Without him, these guards were all people who had fought with him through life and death on the battlefield. If he couldn't trust them, King Zhennan really couldn't think of anyone else he could trust.
"It's actually him." King Zhennan gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing with fire, and he gritted his teeth, "Get out of here, how could I ever be sorry for him?"
"I'm afraid it's not that you, father, are sorry for him, but that Commander Zhou has been different from us from the beginning." Su Zhan glanced at the furious King Zhennan and said unhurriedly.
When King Zhennan heard this, the anger on his face turned into surprise: "Jinyuan, what do you mean by this?"
Su Zhan didn't answer his words. Instead, he turned to Siya and said, "Give the prince the information on the Zhou commander I compiled earlier."
As early as when Su Zhan suspected that there was a thief in the palace, he checked the information of everyone in the palace.
Siya respectfully took out a few pieces of paper filled with words from his arms and handed them to King Zhennan. These pieces of paper had written all the official life of Commander Zhou.
Born in a farm family, his mother accidentally fell into the water and died when he was three years old. When he was six years old, his father went up the mountain to cut firewood and accidentally fell into the cliff. His body was completely destroyed. His family was passed down to only three generations, so he became an orphan and was raised by the villagers until he was fifteen years old.
When he was sixteen years old, bandits entered the village and massacred him. He was the only one alive in the village.
The subsequent experience was that after Zhou Tong escaped death, he joined the army, followed the King of Zhennan all the way up, and finally retired from the army more than ten years ago and became a guard of the palace.
There seems to be no problem with this information. After all, it was a turbulent period more than ten years ago, and there were many people like Zhou Tongling whose entire family died.
At that time, there were too many people joining the army because of their stuttering, and it was impossible for the military to carefully verify whether everyone's identity was true.
After roughly checking that there was indeed a village that had been wiped out by bandits, and that there was such a person with both parents deceased in the household registration information, he hurriedly brought Zhou Tong to the front line.
But in the eyes of King Zhennan, who already knew the identity of Commander Zhou, this information immediately became suspicious.
The commander-in-chief of Zhou Dynasty was already thirty years old, but he still had not married and had children. This was actually an incredible thing in the eyes of ancient people.
Every time this topic is mentioned, Commander Zhou will always change the subject as if nothing happened.
"He did it on purpose." A cold look slowly appeared on King Zhennan's face.
By doing this, not only can he avoid being exposed in front of his family, but it can also prevent him from becoming soft-hearted because of his connections with people from the prosperous dynasty.
After all, once a person softens his heart, many things will be different.
