He waved his hand and let them leave.
“Do you know him?” asked Zheng Fugui.
“Yesterday, he came to the Eastern Palace to visit the Crown Prince and was rejected. I didn’t expect that his family would be annihilated overnight.”
Zhang Ronghua was puzzled. He couldn’t understand why the person behind the scenes would attack them. Although the Shen family was not bad and was also a wealthy family in Anzhou, it was not enough in Beijing. Could it be that there were secrets hidden in it?
Return to the Eastern Palace first.
As soon as he arrived at the back hall, he saw Shuang ‘er teaching the purple cat a lesson. She held a ferule and hit its head.”How many times have I told that the ornamental fish in the lake can’t be eaten? Why are you still stealing them?”
Purple Cat felt wronged and pitiful.” I didn’t want to come here. I was caught by Zhang Ronghua. But when I came here, I saw the fish in the lake. They were actually provoking me. They were swaying in front of me. I couldn’t help but feel restless. I went down and ate the fish.”
Seeing them come over, the cat’s eyes lit up.
She raised a claw and pointed at him, as if to say that the main character was here.
Zhang Ronghua stepped forward and narrowed his eyes.”
Shuang ‘er nodded and said,’”‘This guy is too disappointing. He even dared to kill ornamental fish.” “It won’t listen to you like this.”
He took the ferule from her.
You still dare to point at me, right? I’m not the one eating the fish.
The ferule slapped its butt roughly, and it was hit more than ten times in a row. The purple cat jumped around on the spot, and its screams echoed. It wanted to dodge, but the ferule was very accurate. It used all its strength, but it could not dodge.
When it stopped.
“Do you know your mistake?” asked Zhang Ronghua.”
Purple Cat nodded heavily. “Do you dare to do it next time?” This time, he shook his head.
He returned the ferule to Shuang ‘er.
“Have you learned it?”
“Be ruthless!”
The purple cat’s fur stood on end and turned into barbs. This guy was a demon!
“Your Highness is inside?”
“No! He went to the palace for the morning court session today.”
Zhang Ronghua nodded and waited here. About four hours had passed, and it was almost noon when the Crown Prince returned from the Imperial Palace. From his expression, one could see a trace of fatigue. As the Crown Prince, he was not as relaxed as he looked on the surface. There were many things to do.
They entered the Xuanhe Hall.
He recounted the matter of the Shen family being exterminated in the capital.
The Crown Prince thought about it and guessed,””Do you suspect that it was the mastermind behind the scenes?”
“Although I don’t know why they did this, the Shen family’s death is too strange. First, Shen Haowen was arrested, and Shen Qi’s visit was rejected. Then, the entire family was exterminated that night. Even if the Shen family of An Province knew about this, would they dare to blame their deaths on you and take revenge?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Ronghua thought of something and said, “Shen Haowen is probably dead too!”
The Crown Prince stretched out two fingers and knocked on the table, making a ” dong dong ” sound. He thought about the key point. If he didn’t go and find trouble with them, the Shen family of An Province would have no time to behave themselves. How could they dare to take the initiative to attack? Did he really not want the family’s decades of foundation?
“I’ll get someone to investigate. Take some people to Nether Prison and see if Shen Haowen is dead.”
He left the main hall.
He brought Zheng Fugui and a battalion of Flood Dragon Guards with him. After a night of cultivation, they had the Myriad Sword Formation. Their auras changed, becoming deep and cold, and their auras were stronger than before.
He nodded in satisfaction and hurried toward Nether Prison.
Unlike the prison of the Ministry of Justice, the people imprisoned here were all felons with strong cultivation or demons. The four departments took turns guarding them every half a month.
Now it was the True Dragon Palace’s turn to be on duty. The leader was called Qin Jiangong, an Azure Dragon Envoy.
Other than him, there was a battalion of soldiers and some jailers.
Seeing that they had arrived.
Qin Jiangong knew Zhang Ronghua. He had a very good relationship with Xu Changming. It was not that brothers were better than brothers. Last time, when Ji Xueyan spread rumors, the latter was ordered to surround his mansion and wanted to kill him. First, he was sent flying by Su Qiutang, and then he was crippled by Uncle Zhong.
Now he was a cripple. The True Dragon Palace didn’t take care of trash, so they took his position and kicked him out. He was living on a small allowance, and they hated him so much that they wanted to kill Zhang Ronghua.
He laughed coldly in his heart. Since he had seen them, he would first show them his might and ruthlessly rub off their spirit to vent Xu Changming’s anger.
He took a step forward and blocked them. With a cold face, he shouted, “Nether Prison is an important place.”
Bang!
After kicking him away, Zhang Ronghua shouted with a cold face,””How dare you! You dare to disobey His Highness ‘orders?”
The people of True Dragon Palace pulled out their swords, and so did the Dragon Guards.
Qin Jiangong got up from the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. This kick was very heavy, and two of his ribs were broken. He looked at him coldly and was about to speak when Zhang Ronghua walked up and said coldly,”You want to disobey orders?”
If it were anywhere else, with his cultivation, he could kill a sixth level Zongshi realm expert with a snap of his fingers.
But not now!
There were so many people watching and he did not dare to come here under the Crown Prince’s orders!
If he did that, he would not be the only one to die. His entire family would be buried with him.
Qin Jiangong clenched his fists tightly. His eyes were spitting fire, and his teeth were about to shatter. He didn’t even dare to let out a fart. He waved his hand and squeezed out two words, “Let them pass!”
Zhang Ronghua would remember him and get someone to investigate him later. If the opportunity was right, he would get rid of him.
He entered Nether Prison.
The scenery changed. The sun was shining brightly outside. This place was like hell. Cold air was everywhere, piercing into the bone marrow. Those with weaker cultivation would not be able to withstand it.
This was only the first level. Nether Prison had a total of four levels. The lower the level, the larger the area. The people imprisoned there were more terrifying, and the Yin Qi inside was probably even stronger.
The prison guard quickly came forward. He already knew about the conflict outside. He could not afford to offend either side. He tucked his tail between his legs and said obsequiously, “Sir, do you have any orders?”
“Bring me to Shen Haowen!” “He, he died last night.”
“Dead?”
Zhang Ronghua frowned. The aura of conspiracy was getting stronger and stronger. “Where is the corpse?”
“Follow me!”
They led the way and walked inside. After a while, they stopped outside a cell and took out a key to open the door. There was a corpse lying inside.
He walked in.
Judging from the corpse, it was completely intact. Other than the injuries left behind by the punishment, there were no fatal wounds. It also did not look like he had been poisoned. The strange thing was that he had just died last night. The corpse should have decomposed. His corpse seemed to have dried up, as if something had been sucked out.
Zhang Ronghua reached out his hand, and Zheng Fugui handed over the Flood Dragon Sword. He slashed the corpse, leaving a wound. Not a single drop of blood flowed out.
Returning the sword to him, he understood in his heart that his bloodline had been taken away. No wonder it was like this.
“Who saw him last?” he asked in a deep voice..”
