Chapter 172: Yin Guoping’s Death
Translator: 549690339
He was in a dilemma!
She was referring to Ji Xueyan’s current situation. She could see it more clearly than Purple Cat. If Zhang Ronghua came back, why would he knock on the door? Couldn’t he come in himself?
Even if he didn’t bring the key, it would be easy for him to climb over the wall with a light tap. It could only mean that the person who came was not him! It should be someone else.
If he went out now.
If someone saw her, she would be in big trouble. If it wasn’t mud, it would be sh * t. If she couldn’t explain it clearly, she would be safe and sound, but Zhang Ronghua wouldn’t be able to. Whether it was the Crown Prince or the Imperial
Family, they wouldn’t let him off.
He could only wait!
When the person couldn’t see Zhang Ronghua, he would leave on his own.
Then, he would leave the residence quietly without anyone noticing.
Thinking of this…
He stood up from the chair and walked to the door. He listened attentively. If something went wrong, he would think of another way.
Purple Cat was puzzled. Its cat eyes rolled around and shook its head. Humans were too complicated!
He had to continue guarding the door until Zhang Ronghua returned. He had already eaten the Vermilion Fruit. If he didn’t do it, he would lose his integrity.
He wouldn’t be able to ask for anything next time.
The development of the matter was beyond her expectations.
The person who came was Ma Ping ‘an. He had come under the Crown Prince’s orders and had Zhang Ronghua rush over immediately.
Just now.
Chen Youcai rushed over with his men, looking anxious. When he arrived at the main entrance of the Eastern Palace, he happened to meet him on patrol. He told him that he had an urgent matter to see His Highness and asked him to bring him in immediately.
Ma Ping ‘an knew that he was one of them. Seeing him like this, something big must have happened. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have acted like this. He brought him into the Eastern Palace and asked Qing’ er to report it. After seeing His Highness, Chen Youcai told him everything. He had just received news that the entire family of Yin Guoping, the governor of Shangjing, had been killed. Not a single one survived, especially Yin Guoping. His death was miserable. His tongue had been cut off, his eyes dug out, his ears cut off, and his limbs separated.
When the Shangjing government found out about this, they were furious. They gave a death order to search the entire city and find the mastermind at all costs. At the same time, they also asked the four yamen (four county yamen) to send people to search together.
After learning about this, Chen Youcai ordered people to inquire about the whole story. He asked the county captain to lead the constables of the county government to cooperate with the Shangj ing government to search for the culprit behind the scenes. Meanwhile, he brought his confidants over.
To him, Yin Guoping’s death was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
He had been the county magistrate of the Eastern City for so many years. If there was someone to take care of him, he would have advanced to a higher position.
However, ever since his father-in-law retired, he had been stuck in this place.
There were pros and cons. The pros were that he would remain as the county magistrate of the eastern district, but once he had enough experience and the opportunity came, he could improve at any time. The cons were that he could not see anv hone of Dromotion.
Before he joined the Crown Prince.
Even if Yin Guoping was dead, he did not dare to have any excessive thoughts. Shangjing’s position was too special. Under the feet of the emperor, he managed more than a million people in the capital. His power was monstrous. With a stomp of his foot, the capital would tremble. He entered the court and discussed the affairs of the dynasty. He had all kinds of privileges and was half a step into the circle of the top nobles. If he advanced further, even if he could not enter the Tianji Pavilion and become one of the five cabinet elders, he could still get the position of Minister of the Six Ministries.
However, with the Crown Prince’s support, he would be able to compete with his qualifications.
If he went up, he would have made a huge profit. Even if he failed, he would not lose anything. He would just continue to endure in the position of the county magistrate of the eastern city.
After listening.
The Crown Prince did not answer immediately. From a different perspective, one would see things differently. Chen Youcai was looking at the position of
Shangjing’s prefect, while he was looking at the court and the layout behind it.
To push him to such an important position, even if he had enough experience, it would be harder than ascending to the heavens!
The other forces would not just sit back and watch as they snatched the position of Shangjing Prefecture Magistrate. If that happened, his influence would once again grow.
Instead, they would join forces and kick him out first. If they wanted to break out of the situation and obtain enough benefits from it, they had to plan well before they could make a move.
He told him to wait in the Eastern Palace and ordered Ma Ping ‘an to call Zhang Ronghua over. Before he left, he secretly told him something, which led to this scene.
Uncle Shi led him in and stopped in the backyard.”Wait here. Qing Lin went out just now and hasn’t returned yet.” “Yes.” Ma Ping ‘an replied.
Uncle Shi returned to his room.
Hearing the familiar voice from outside, Ji Xueyan frowned and clenched her fists. She was very nervous. If one listened carefully, one could hear her heart beating rapidly. She thought to herself, Why is it him? Did something happen to the Crown Prince?
It was too late to go out now. If Ma Ping ‘an saw her, unless she hardened her heart to silence her, the consequences would be very serious if the news reached the Eastern Palace!
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He couldn’t stay outside any longer. He went to the bedroom to hide. He controlled his footsteps and walked in quietly.
After a while.
Zhang Ronghua came out of the lake after taking a shower. He wore big pants and used his Xuanhuang True Essence to shake off the water droplets on his body. He picked up the dirty clothes on the ground and walked home.
Arriving at the backyard, the figure in front of them was actually him!
He was like a fly that was in a mess, pacing back and forth. He was puzzled. It was almost midnight, so why was he here now? Did something happen to the
Crown Prince?
“What happened?” he asked..”
