Chapter 1108 Chills on the Back

Jingyang Mansion.

In the past few days, news from Yuzhou has been flying to Jingyang Prefecture like snowflakes.

Yuzhou is in chaos.

It was more chaotic than Yun Zheng had imagined.

In addition, Yun Zheng also heard rumors everywhere in Yuzhou that he was stepping up the construction of warships in Shuobei, and that he would one day invade Yu State and avenge the people of the three counties of Yuzhou.

This is using justice to pressure him!

He is being flattered to death!

At this point, Yun Zheng finally understood what Emperor Wen meant by "overdoing something".

This is not entirely self-defeating.

But if Emperor Wen died suddenly, it would definitely be a counterproductive move.

Today, Yun Zheng received news that the Wang family of Dongqiao colluded with the Red Moon Sect and sent people to assassinate the imperial envoy.

The Imperial Inspector Xu Yuncheng was assassinated.

After the Dongqiao Wang family was exposed, they used force to resist the imperial court's arrest, and several members of the Wang family who managed to escape were wanted by the court.

Now the imperial court is furious and the officialdom in Yuzhou is shaken.

Yuzhou governor Kang Guangyan was escorted back to the imperial city for trial, and almost all the county magistrates of Yuzhou's nine counties were replaced.

The aristocratic families and clans in Yuzhou also suffered an unprecedented blow, and the aristocratic families and clans around Yuzhou were also in panic.

Some of the resentful families and clans in Yuzhou joined forces with the Red Moon Sect to openly defy the imperial court, but were suppressed by Wu Duye's iron-blooded tactics.

Yun Zheng lowered his eyebrows and handed the secret letter in his hand to Miaoyin.

"Isn't it your father who is behind all this?"

After reading the letter, Miaoyin felt a chill down her spine.

If she had not seen Emperor Wen's secret letter before, she would not have suspected Emperor Wen.

But she had already read the secret letter.

It was hard for her not to suspect Emperor Wen.

Emperor Wen's purpose was naturally to use Yun Li to eliminate those aristocratic families and clans, paving the way for the future Yun Zheng.

Too bad!

Not only was he cruel to the aristocratic families and clans, he was also cruel to Yun Li.

Many innocent people will also be implicated!

With this move, countless people will lose their heads!

The road that Emperor Wen paved for Yun Zheng was paved with blood!

The most ruthless imperial family!

"do not know."

Yun Zheng shook his head slightly and answered ambiguously: "Maybe, maybe not!"

He also suspected that it was Emperor Wen who was secretly pushing it.

He even suspected that Xu Yuncheng's death was part of the whole plan.

Of course, it is also possible that the mastermind behind the scenes is stirring up trouble.

This was because if Xu Yuncheng died, Xu Shifu would be completely enraged, and thus Xu Shifu would encourage Yun Li to take ruthless actions against the aristocratic families and clans.

But there were some things he couldn't tell Miaoyin.

Moreover, the more ruthless Emperor Wen was, the more it showed that his physical condition was not optimistic.

After listening to his words, Miaoyin also understood what he meant.

It seems that Yun Zheng thinks so too.

That’s right, if I can think of it, how could Yun Zheng not think of it?

"Will this situation get out of control?"

Miaoyin asked with some concern.

"It shouldn't get out of control at the moment." Yun Zheng pondered, "But if all the clans and families in the world feel threatened and openly defy the imperial court, then I'm afraid it will gradually get out of control."

"Do you want to deploy troops to the border to prevent any unexpected events?"

Miaoyin asked again.

"not needed for now!"

Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "If I send troops into the pass now, it will only touch the sensitive nerves of the Third Brother and make the situation more complicated!"

"The most urgent task is to make some noise to contain Xiqu!"

"At the same time, I want to make sure that the Third Brother doesn't have to worry about me, so that he can focus on dealing with those restless families and clans!"

He still believed in Emperor Wen's ability.

Since Emperor Wen is taking this step, it means that he is confident to a certain extent.

As long as Xiqu does not take advantage of the situation, the imperial court should not have to fear rebellion from those powerful families and clans.

Damn it!

Emperor Wen's outrageous actions completely disrupted his plans!

He must put some pressure on Xiqu!

Yun Zheng paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back.

He now has to consider whether to start from Gundazan or from Xing'anbao.

There are advantages and disadvantages no matter which direction you move from.

He must weigh the pros and cons and minimize the risk of a full-scale war with Xiqu while gaining greater benefits.

Miaoyin didn't disturb Yun Zheng and just stayed by his side.

"Dong dong..."

Just as Yun Zheng was hesitating, there was a knock on the door.

"Your Highness, urgent news from the caravan!"

Immediately afterwards, Mingyue's voice came from outside the door.

"Come in!"

As Yun Zheng finished speaking, Mingyue immediately pushed the door open and walked in.

"This is an urgent letter sent by the caravan!"

As Mingyue entered the door, she handed over a secret letter.

Yun Zheng opened it quickly.

Looking at the contents of the letter, Yun Zheng's face suddenly lit up with joy.

The mastermind behind this is about to make a big move!

The caravan has received orders from Black Crow, asking them to be ready and obey orders at any time.

However, the caravan has not received any specific orders yet, and does not know what the mastermind behind the scenes is going to do.

Before Yun Zheng had time to think about it, Shen Kuan rushed in again.

"Your Highness, news has come from Sifang County! Yu Fu and Bai Ya's men who were secretly meeting have both been captured! They are on their way to Jingyang Prefecture and will arrive tomorrow!"

Shen Kuan excitedly reported to Yun Zheng.

After secretly monitoring Yu Fu for such a long time, they finally got some results.

"Great!"

Yun Zheng was also very happy when he heard this.

It’s Yu Fu indeed!

This old guy is really patient!

For almost two years, he didn't even take the initiative to report his information to the mastermind!

If the mastermind behind the scenes hadn't started to get angry, they probably wouldn't be able to confirm that Yu Fu was the spy!

Yun Zheng suppressed his excitement and ordered in a deep voice: "Shen Kuan, you personally take people to meet them! Make sure to bring the two alive to Jingyang Prefecture!"

We finally caught them, we can't let them be assassinated!

At this time, it’s never too careful!

"Yes! I will lead the group right away!"

Shen Kuan did not dare to delay and left immediately.

"call……"

Yunzheng let out a long breath.

Miaoyin: "It seems that the person behind this is really going to make a big move!"

"affim!"

Yun Zheng nodded and said, "Yuzhou is in chaos right now. I might accidentally hurt that rat. If he doesn't make some big moves, he might be caught by the court before I even start!"

All signs indicate that Yuzhou should be the one who has the rat.

And, most likely, quite a few.

I guess the mouse didn't expect that the badminton country would interfere?

People are better than God!

Miaoyin burst out laughing and jokingly said, "If he is caught by the court, you will probably have to thank Yun Li."

"I have always been grateful to the third brother."

Yun Zheng smiled and asked Mingyue again: "Didn't Zhang Xu say when he would be back?"

"Don't mention it!"

Speaking of Zhang Xu, Mingyue was filled with anger, "This bastard is now living in the Institute of Technology! Those junk in the Institute of Technology are his treasures!"

Zhang Xu never came to Jingyang Prefecture at all!

After passing Beilu Pass, Zhang Xu ran to the Technical Research Institute.

"Didn't you always say that Zhang Xu had no ambition?"

Miaoyin giggled, "Now that he's motivated, you're unhappy again?"

"I……"

Mingyue choked slightly and was speechless for a moment.

Yun Zheng smiled at Mingyue and explained for Zhang Xu: "The Technical Research Institute must have encountered some difficulties. He is probably helping to solve the technical problems! When he is done, I will talk to him for you!"

"Forget it, let's not talk about him."

Mingyue shook her head and said, "It's rare for him to do something that benefits the country and the people. Let him be! I'm just complaining."

Listening to Mingyue's words, Yun Zheng and Miaoyin couldn't help but smile at each other...
