Chapter 114: Everything Depends on Human Hands (2)
"In short, Gray Valley and this incident are closely related to the whole thing. Perhaps we can find some reasons from the princess."
Zhao Ziyan interrupted Wang Ye's words with a cold voice, perhaps because they were in the same camp and it was most appropriate for him to break the silence; indeed, they all agreed with the idea of finding clues from Yin Yin, but the difficulty lay in the fact that no clues could be found from Yin Yin at all, so they could only listen but had no answers.
"In addition to Gray Valley and this incident, I'm afraid we need to pay attention to one more thing."
Zhao Ziheng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly made a sound, which immediately attracted the attention of others.
"What's the meaning?"
Zhou Yan, who had a strong personality, immediately started to ask.
"Since Queen Xia passed away, the relationship between Zhou and Xia seems to have cooled down a lot."
Zhao Ziheng's words undoubtedly deviated from the topic of this discussion, but because of the appearance of these words, everyone present had different reactions.
"Do you think Queen Xia's death is also related to Yin Yin?"
Zhou Cheng, who had remained silent like Zhao Ziheng, asked thoughtfully. As expected, everyone was shocked again. Only Zhao Ziyin seemed to have thought of something , so he turned his attention to Zhao Ziheng, the initiator of this topic.
"Impossible? She has no reason to do that."
Shan Zhen couldn't help but speak. He was puzzled by the authenticity of the matter. This speculation was too far-fetched.
"Indeed, if I hadn't seen her stretching out her hands to strangle the princess."
As soon as Zhao Ziheng finished speaking, everyone was stunned. This sentence was undoubtedly like a bolt from the blue, but it also left people with an incomprehensible question.
After a while, everyone came back to their senses and realized the flaws of this question...
"According to you, the deaths of Xia Ningshuang and Master Jiang were all caused by Yinyin?"
Zhou Cheng has calmed down and discovered the problem. After all, Xia Ningshuang and Master Jiang died one after another. But this still leaves a puzzling question.
"It's really strange, but I don't have any doubts about what Master Jiang said, at least it's clear who would do this, but what Queen Xia said makes me doubt it, and the fact that they died one after another is even more suspicious. "
Zhao Ziheng expressed his views very calmly, not minding at all that the people mentioned in his words might feel hesitant, as if it was very natural, so natural that it was a matter of course, and he didn't care whether it would anger someone.
"After hearing the emperor's reminder, I remembered someone who was also killed at about the same time as Empress Xia and Grand Tutor Jiang."
Wang Ye suddenly said thoughtfully.
"Who?" Zhao Ziheng asked.
"Perhaps Prince Jing has some impression of this person."
After hearing what Wang Ye said, Zhou Yan just raised his eyebrows slightly and didn't say anything. It should be said that he was also very curious.
"I'm talking about the Weicheng Captain."
The appearance of such a small person in such an occasion really aroused doubts. Obviously, no one noticed the existence of such a person. However, Zhou Yan's mind quickly flashed the connection between this person and this incident.
"That's true. If that's the case, doesn't it mean that someone is secretly protecting the princess?"
Zuo Yu, who was the lowest-ranking person present, let out a low exclamation, and pointed out a series of key points in one sentence. Although everyone had noticed it, they still felt shocked and unbelievable when they heard it. The whole thing seemed to be becoming more and more confusing. If this sentence was said in front of Zhou Yan personally, perhaps it could still be guessed, but in this situation, it undoubtedly added another mystery to the incident.
"...I'm afraid that's the case. Looking at the current situation of Zhou and Xia, it's very clear. However, their approach seems to be completely opposite to this time."
Zhao Ziheng could confirm Zuo Yu's statement. The results were the same, but the directions were different. He could not rule out the possibility that it was done by another group of people. However, if this was the case, it was becoming increasingly difficult to discern the conspiracy behind it.
"If it was Black Wolf who framed Yin Yin, then the country that benefited from the incident would probably be Han, right? Then what about protection? It was just secretly eliminating those who were harmful to Yin Yin. Weicheng Captain and Master Jiang were just minor figures and can be ignored. However, it was a normal reaction that Xia Ningshuang's death involved the problems of the two countries. How can we prove that the purpose of these two actions is the same?"
It is obvious that Zhou Yan was disdainful of Zhao Ziheng's speculation, and what he proposed was indeed reasonable, so others had to doubt that Zhao Ziheng's speculation was indeed too far-fetched, and everything should be based on evidence.
Zhao Ziheng was not moved by the questioning looks from everyone except Wang Ye and Zhao Ziyin, and continued to speak calmly: "What Prince Jing said is absolutely correct, and I... just expressed my guess. I came to this answer based on my intuition, so you don't have to take it to heart."
At this moment, what Zhao Ziheng said would undoubtedly destroy the trust between them. Trust, an existence that should not exist between the three parties, but it was created because of something that closely connected them together; Wang Ye and Zhao Ziyin were still surprisingly calm about Zhao Ziheng's words, Zhou Yan was already furious, and Zhou Cheng was staring at Zhao Ziheng without blinking, trying to find the answer to what he said from Zhao Ziheng's expression and eyes; other people also had different degrees of reactions, like Xue Han looked at Wang Ye calmly, Shan Zhen stood aside in silence, and Zuo Yu was just silent, because this was not a topic that the three of them could intervene in.
