Chapter two hundred and twenty first set before death
"Cousin! Meet the prince!" Xue Shao and Zhang Zong went out to greet him, and immediately stepped forward and bowed.
"Sanlang, why are you here? Have you finished your engagement?" Li Hong said unexpectedly when he saw Xue Shao.
"It's almost done, just have my mother staring at me. Brother Shi and I were still discussing the fire just now. Cousin, do you know that the court has found out the cause of the fire?" Xue Shao asked Li Hong without knowing the inside story.
Li Hong also looked at Zhang Zong when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "There is no conclusion yet, but it is probably a fire caused by accident. In fact, every year during the Spring Festival, the court is as if it is facing a great enemy. Whatever you are afraid of is a fire. As a result, this year's fire caused heavy losses to the capital. Many officials have been removed from office and investigated."
"So that's it." Xue Shao nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.
"Sanlang, I have something to talk to Zhang Zong alone." Li Hong said again after fooling Xue Shao.
"It's okay, you guys talk about you, I'll go to the flower garden for a walk!" Xue Shao nodded immediately. He knew that some things were not convenient for him to know, so he walked out of the living room very simply.
When Zhang Zong saw Xue Shao going out, he immediately asked, "Your Highness, He Lanminzhi..."
However, before Zhang Zong finished speaking, Li Hong interrupted him and said, "He is dead, and I have someone dealt with his funeral and buried him quietly with his mother and sister."
"Die!" Although Zhang Zong was mentally prepared, he was dazed when he heard the news and even felt that it was a little untrue. After all, the other party was fighting wits and courage with him yesterday, but in a blink of an eye, the person was already dead.
But then Zhang Zong thought of something again, so hesitated for a moment and spoke again: "Is it really... Yang Liangdi's move?"
When Zhang Zong mentioned Yang Liangdi, Li Hong's expression became helpless, and then he said, "When I told Yang Liangdi yesterday about Helan Minzhi, Yang Liangdi was indeed very excited. She didn't even speak, so she took the initiative to take revenge on her own. Of course, I agreed, but the result..."
"What's the result?" Zhang Zong also asked anxiously. Helan Minzhi's death was determined, but he hoped that Yang Liangdi could come out of the shadow of that year. After all, she was really innocent.
"As a result, I took Yang Liangdi to see Helan Minzhi. Although I had told her that Helan Minzhi was disfigured, she was still shocked when she saw the other party. Then she reluctantly raised her knife to kill Helan Minzhi, but she didn't hurt the other party's vital points even after several slashes. Instead, she was scolded by the angry Helan Minzhi." Li Hong finally said helplessly again.
Zhang Zong was speechless when he heard this, but he could understand Helan Minzhi. He was going to die, but Yang Liangdi, a woman, had no strength and failed to hit the vital point after slashing a few times. This was the greatest torture for a dying person.
"In the end, Yang Liangdi really had no strength and couldn't get out of the killer, so I took her away and asked someone to hang Helan Minzhi to death, which was also a reflection of the rumors that he hanged himself." Li Hong sighed at the end, as if he was a little moved. His entanglement with Helan Minzhi was too deep, and he could not even be summarized with simple hatred.
After hearing this, Zhang Zong was a little moved. Who would have thought that Helan Minzhi had died twice? And now the truth about the fire has been blocked. Even someone like Xue Shao, who is well-informed, thinks that the fire is a natural disaster, let alone ordinary people.
"Your Highness, what are you going to do next?" Zhang Zong asked again quickly. Since he had already found out about Helan Minzhi, and Helan Minzhi was also related to Wu Meiniang, this was an excellent opportunity to attack Wu Meiniang.
Li Hong showed a silent expression when he heard this. After a while, he looked up and said, "For such a big thing, the father must have received some news, so it is definitely impossible to hide it. But I am a little worried. Even if I expose the matter to the father, I may not be able to do anything to that woman!"
Zhang Zong nodded in agreement when he heard Li Hong's words. Li Zhi had a deep relationship with Wu Meiniang. Even though he had noticed her ambition before, he had just hit him a few times. Wu Meiniang's position as queen is still extremely stable. So although this time the matter is serious, as long as Li Zhi covers up, Wu Meiniang will still have no problems. At most, he will be scolded by Li Zhi in private.
"Crown Prince, although she cannot shake her position, the prince can take this opportunity to attack her position in His Majesty's heart again. This is still a good thing for the prince!" Zhang Zong thought for a while and said again.
In fact, if Wu Meiniang is really shaken as the queen, it is not a good thing for Li Hong. You should know that the reason why Li Hong became the crown prince is because he is the eldest son. If Wu Meiniang is not the queen, then his status as the eldest son will be gone. Although his position as the crown prince is already very stable, it will inevitably be criticized.
"Yes, maybe I'm too greedy, but I'm very annoyed when I watched her do evil everywhere without being punished!" Li Hong's tone became a little heavy when he spoke at the end. The reason why he hated Wu Meiniang was not just out of personal hatred, but Yu Gong also stood opposite Wu Meiniang.
"Does Your Highness plan to report to Your Majesty when he went to Luoyang?" Zhang Zong asked again.
Li Hong smiled bitterly when he heard this, and then replied: "I do plan to report it to my father truthfully, but I am worried that he will not believe it. After all, Helan Minzhi is dead, and there was no evidence left at the beginning. With his father's favor for her, I'm afraid he wouldn't believe me at all."
After hearing this, Zhang Zong nodded and said, "I have the same concern. Helan Minzhi told Your Highness about this matter, probably to put Your Highness in a dilemma. If you report it, it may make Your Majesty feel that you are slandering the Queen. If you don't report it, Your Highness may be unwilling to accept it. I have to say that his purpose has been achieved!"
"Yes, his intentions are sinister, but I have to put on a trap!" Li Hong clenched his fists at the end. Helan Minzhi had to put on a trap before he died, which made him angry and wanted to take out the other party's body and stab him a few times before he could relieve his hatred.
