Zhou Xing also had the same worries, but he didn't know what Zhou Mu was playing. He suspected that someone was working for Zhou Mu outside, but as far as he knew, there was currently no movement in Suzhou City.
Except for the man in black who sneaked into the study on the first night when the Rong family came to Suzhou City at the end of the week to look for something, nothing happened since then.
"I also feel that Zhou Mu is too calm, as if he has a chance to win." Zhou Xing paced back and forth in the room, secretly wondering if he had missed any key clues?
Su Ho thought for a moment and suddenly asked: "Is there anything strange about His Highness's attendants?"
"Qi Zhiyuan has never left Zhou Mu's side. As for the other guards around Zhou Mu, I don't know him. I only know that one of them is Qi Zhiyuan's brother. The Qi brothers all run errands around Zhou Mu." Zhou Xing thought about it.
After reading it, I still can’t think of any omissions.
The room suddenly became quiet.
Su Ho also knew that this battle was crucial. If Zhou Mu found the evidence, Zhou Xing would definitely be implicated. It was clear that Zhou Xing did not know about the corruption case five years ago, but Emperor Cheng De would not think so.
During this trip to Suzhou, although Zhou Xing had asked for leave from Emperor Chengde, he did not declare that he was coming to Suzhou.
Maybe Zhou Xing shouldn't have come this time, but Concubine Shu wants to drag Zhou Xing into trouble.
"Your Highness, why don't we go back to Beijing?" Su Ho suddenly felt that this was the safest way.
Zhou Xing cannot pay for the trouble caused by the Zheng family. At this critical moment, Zhou Xing should protect himself wisely and stay out of the incident as much as possible.
Zhou Xing knew that Su Ho's idea was right. If he was not sure of controlling Zhou Mu's actions, Zhou Mu would probably find conclusive evidence.
But he can't do it without a fight.
"It's not time to leave yet." Zhou Xing rejected Su Ho's proposal.
"It's just the right time to leave. Nothing has happened so far, and His Highness has no evidence. I think His Highness shouldn't have come this time. If His Highness can't find any evidence, it doesn't matter whether His Highness is in Suzhou or not. If His Highness
Find the evidence..."
"I can take the opportunity to destroy it!" Zhou Xing interrupted Su Ho's lobbying: "No need to say more, I have made up my mind."
"After Your Highness destroys the evidence, you will not be able to get rid of the suspicion, which will arouse His Majesty's suspicion. Your Highness will be even more embarrassed in front of His Majesty in the future." Su Ho continued.
She wanted to persuade Zhou Xing to return to Beijing, but Zhou Xing was determined and refused to listen to the dissuasion.
In the next half month, Zhou Mu still lived leisurely in the Jiang family. In addition to taking Gu Xiyan on sightseeing tours in and out of the city, he and Gu Xiyan spent more time in the courtyard talking about cases.
The more leisurely he is, the more anxious Zhou Xing becomes.
From Zhou Xing's point of view, Zhou Mu seemed to be sure of victory, but he didn't know why Zhou Mu was so confident.
He has been keeping a close eye on Zhou Mu for the past half month. He is very sure that Zhou Mu has not had any contact with anyone in Suzhou during this period, unless there is something wrong with the Jiang family.
But he was sure of one thing: the Jiang family was not involved.
He must have missed some important information.
On this day, Zhou Xing listed all the connections in Suzhou City and then checked them carefully.
Su Ho also took a closer look. The most direct participants were the Rong family and Lu Nan. It was impossible for these two families to betray the Zheng family. As for the others, they were all small soldiers. Under Lu Nan's control, even if they wanted to
There is no real evidence for betraying the Zheng family, and such a big case is likely to cost the entire family. It is impossible for anyone to be stupid enough to surrender to Zhou Mu.
"Jian family!" Zhou Xing suddenly pointed at the Jian family and finally discovered the problem.
Su Ho was enlightened: "Your Highness is talking about the Jian family. Jian Tongzhi is also half a victim. The old prefect was removed from his official position. It was supposed to be Jian Tongzhi who took the position, but in the end he was snatched away by Lu Zhifu. Furthermore,
, Jian Tongzhi knew something about the inside story five years ago, and he also knew that the old prefect was pushed out to take the blame. If I were His Highness, I would definitely contact Jian Tongzhi..."
Before she finished speaking, Zhou Xing had already asked Zhao De to inquire about the current situation of the Jian family.
Zhao De quickly inquired back, "I heard that Mr. Jian left Suzhou City, but he didn't know where he went specifically."
Zhou Xing took out the map, and when he saw Wuxi, his expression changed slightly.
Not only Zhou Xing saw the way, but Su Ho also saw the reason why Jian Junyi was not in Suzhou but went to Wuxi.
Back then, she had thought that if she wanted to do grain business, she would have to go to Wuxi. After all, Wuxi is one of the largest grain markets in Shanxi.
She even thought that with Zhou Xing's strength, if he controlled the Wuxi grain market and created a grain shortage, he would be able to earn countless money.
Five years ago, Wuxi was the market supplying grain to the disaster-grain embezzlement case.
Jian Junyi undoubtedly went to Wuxi to look for evidence.
It's a pity that he only discovered Zhou Mu's intention after half a month. Zhou Mu must have had a comprehensive plan before he came to Suzhou. He even sent people to sneak into Rong's house on the night he arrived in Suzhou, just to arouse the enemy.<
/p>
Zhou Mu’s purpose was to focus everyone’s attention on him, and everyone including him fell into Zhou Mu’s trap.
"I have to go to Wuxi in person." Zhou Xing said solemnly.
If Jian Junyi gets the evidence, even if he kills Jian Junyi, the evidence cannot fall into Zhou Mu's hands.
Su Ho also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Zhou Xing: "You stay in Suzhou!"
Su Ho also knew that Zhou Xing was on business, and following her would only delay him, so he stopped and warned: "Your Highness, please pay attention to safety, and put your own safety first in everything."
Zhou Xing had no time to pay attention to Su Ho and asked Zhao De to make some preparations before leaving Jiang Mansion in a hurry.
After Zhou Xing moved into Jiang Mansion, it was not easy for Zhou Mu to grasp Zhou Xing's actions. When he received the news that Zhou Xing left Jiang Mansion, he knew what Zhou Xing had noticed.
Soon there was news that Zhou Xing was heading to the city gate of Suzhou.
If nothing unexpected happens, Zhou Xing will go to Wuxi.
Although he sent secret guards to protect Jian Junyi, with Zhou Xing's power, if he really tried his best, those secret guards might not be able to protect Jian Junyi completely.
If he went to Wuxi in person, Xiyan would suffer if he followed her, but he was worried about letting her stay alone in the Jiang family.
Everyone knows that Xiyan is his weakness, and he doesn't want to leave her side and give others the opportunity to attack her.
Gu Xiyan actually heard the conversation between Zhou Mu and Qi Zhiyuan. She also heard Qi Zhiyuan ask Zhou Mu if he wanted to go to Wuxi.
Although Zhou Mu's expression looked the same as usual, she knew that she was the one who made Zhou Mu hesitate.
This time they came to Suzhou on orders to investigate the case. How could she hold Zhou Mu back?
"Young master, please go to Wuxi. I will stay in Suzhou and wait for you to come back." Gu Xiyan said to Zhou Mu.
Zhou Mu frowned when he heard this: "I don't worry about leaving you alone in Suzhou."
Gu Xiyan thought for a moment: "Then shall I go to Wuxi with the young master?"
