Chapter 2237 News Leak

"Let us go!"

"Guan Zhuo, are you crazy? What right do you have to detain us?"

"Guan Zhuo, I want to report you!"

......

Suddenly their freedom was restricted, and many people were quite annoyed. They felt that this matter had nothing to do with them, and Guan Zhuo should not do this. Moreover, Zhao Ke suddenly died, and the murderer was likely still here, which meant that this place was not safe. If the beast attacked them again, wouldn't they all be unable to escape?

However, some people had calmed down and returned to their previous seats obediently. It was obvious that this place had been taken over by Guan Zhuo. No matter how noisy they were, it would be useless. It would be better to calm down and cooperate with Guan Zhuo to find the murderer as soon as possible.

Guan Zhuo glared at those who were still making a fuss, and then ordered people to go to the Ministry of Justice to call his deputy and professional case handlers.

Before, Guan Zhuo discovered that Zhao Ke was dead, relying on his many years of experience in handling cases and his understanding of the dead, he discovered Zhao Ke's abnormality, but in order to investigate the murderer, he still needed some case handlers in the yamen to come to assist.

Fortunately, no one present left, the murderer should still be here!

The previous emperor was poisoned, and Guan Zhuo has not yet identified the real murderer. This time, Zhao Ke's death, he must not repeat the same mistake.

"Guan Shangshu, do you mean that the second prince was murdered?" Hou Yi asked.

In fact, Hou Yi, like other officials present, wanted to leave here as soon as possible. Zhao Ke was dead, and he didn't want to waste time here anymore. He had to plan his future as soon as possible.

"What do you think?" Guan Zhuo asked back.

"Maybe you are worrying too much about this matter, Guan Shangshu. The second prince may have just died because of some hidden disease." Hou Yi continued: "We were all at the scene just now. If someone murdered the second prince, we should have discovered it, but everything was normal just now, and there was nothing abnormal."

"When did Hou Shangshu become so naive?" Guan Zhuo said with a hint of sarcasm: "Have you ever heard that the second prince had a hidden disease before? And, it happened at this time?"

"This..." Hou Yi was speechless for a while.

Zhao Ke had never been rumored before, and he died suddenly at this special and critical moment. Even Hou Yi himself didn't believe that it was all coincidence. He just said that because he wanted to leave early.

However, looking at Guan Zhuo's attitude, Hou Yi felt that if he said one more word, Guan Zhuo would probably plant a murderer on him. Therefore, he couldn't say anything more and had to wait quietly.

As for Yuan Ji.

This poor old man was in a very depressed state at this time, and he seemed to be ten years older. It can be seen that the sudden death of the second prince was a great blow to him.

This is not surprising. After all, investing in the second prince was Yuan Ji's biggest gamble. If he won, it would be easy. If he lost, he would lose everything.

Yuan Ji was different from Hou Yi. Yuan Ji supported the second prince to become the crown prince and even the new emperor from the beginning. He was deeply labeled as a member of the second prince's camp. It was obviously more difficult for him to remove this label than Hou Yi, and it was much more difficult.

Yuanji himself knew this, and it was precisely because he knew this that he reacted in this way. The people at the scene also understood this, and many people looked at Yuanji with regret and pity.

Yuanji, it's over!

If others still have the opportunity to change camps, then Yuanji is really finished. Even if he changes camps, he will definitely not be fully trusted. It is a high probability event that he will be transferred from the position of Minister of Personnel afterwards. What's more, Yuanji's surrender may not be accepted by anyone.

When Guanzhuo placed all the ministers under house arrest and sent his assistant to the second prince's mansion, there was a little news about the second prince's sudden death. Although Guanzhuo was trying his best to block the news to avoid causing too much impact and causing trouble to the case, the news still spread quietly.

Everyone who heard the news was shocked.

The sudden death of the second prince is definitely a big deal, and it may even be a big deal that affects the fate of Yanfeng. After all, if Zhao Ke had not died, he would most likely have been the new emperor of Yanfeng. But now he has suddenly died. The candidate for the new emperor of Yanfeng can only be changed, which naturally affects the fate of Yanfeng.

"Who spread the news? Is it true? Are you sure he has died?"

In Zhou Mansion, Zhou Yanfeng asked the housekeeper in his mansion with a shocked face.

"Master, the news came from the second prince's mansion, but whether it is true or not has not been verified. The second prince's mansion has been blocked now. No one is allowed to enter or leave without the permission of Guan Shangshu." The housekeeper replied.

"Guan Zhuo took over the second prince's mansion?" Li Yang was slightly stunned, and then said: "It seems that this news is probably true! Otherwise, Guan Zhuo is impossible and not qualified to take over the second prince's mansion!"

At this point, Li Yang was quite excited.

Just now, they were still worried that after tonight, the situation in the court would develop in a direction that was not favorable to them, but they did not expect that there would be a sudden turn of events at this time, and suddenly there was news that the second prince Zhao Ke had died suddenly.

This was great news for the three of them!

Of course, this is what Li Yang thinks. In fact, Qi Kai doesn't think so. After all, he is already a member of the second prince Zhao Ke's camp. Now, Zhao Ke's sudden death is definitely not good news for Qi Kai.

"Fortunately, I just joined them secretly, and others don't know. Even if Yuanji makes this public, I can deny it. They have no evidence to prove that I have joined them." Qi Kai thought secretly in his heart.

Qi Kai was a little fortunate at this time. Fortunately, he only joined Zhao Ke's camp secretly, otherwise, he would be in trouble.

Although Qi Kai has jumped back and forth several times, if Zhao Ke really died, there would be not many choices left for them. If he jumped again, no one might want him. Therefore, no one knew that he joined Zhao Ke's camp, which was a good thing for him.

"You make sense!" Zhou Yanfeng said with a delighted look on his face, "Although Guan Zhuo's status is not low, there are obviously people with higher status than the Second Prince. No matter what, it is not his turn to take over the Second Prince's mansion, unless something really happens to the Second Prince. Only in this case, as the Minister of Justice, Guan Zhuo can take over the Second Prince's mansion!"
