Chu Xuanchen frowned coldly, "How did things turn out like this?! Even if the commoners praised someone, they wouldn't be so enthusiastic about it. There must be a problem! "
"This subordinate also suspects that there's a problem. According to this subordinate's investigation, there were indeed many commoners who were grateful to Your Highness and praised Your Highness on their own accord.
But after everyone praised you, they didn't mention it again.
Then, a few days ago, a mysterious force suddenly appeared. They seemed to have made an appointment and took the lead in composing poems for you on the streets. Moreover, the poems they composed were mainly to elevate you and belittle Hongyuan Emperor.
In addition, someone quickly erected several Merit Monuments in Jiang Province for you. The commoners don't have the financial resources to do so.
This subordinate found that there was someone behind all of this. Someone was contributing money and effort to the commoners, guiding them to build a temple and erect a monument for you. "
Mo Li said.
When Chu Xuanchen heard this, his eyes were filled with a strong storm.
His expression was as cold as ice as he said sternly, "Building a temple and erecting a monument is something that the ancients would only do to become a god and worship a saint. Wang believes that his achievements in controlling the flood are not bad, but not to this extent.
It seems that someone wants to use this matter to frame Wang.
It's a good thing that the commoners like Wang, but someone is using this matter to add fuel to the fire. They're deliberately promoting Wang to a high position and taking the opportunity to belittle His Majesty.
At that time, His Majesty will have a reason to kill Wang. "
"Yes, Your Highness.
His Majesty is naturally suspicious. He's always been afraid of you, but now the commoners are praising you like a saint.
If His Majesty finds out about this, I'm afraid he'll do something to you. Should this subordinate send people to stop those scholars and commoners from praising you? "
Mo Li said worriedly.
Chu Xuanchen raised his hand, "No need. The public opinion has already spread. It's useless even if you stop it.
In order to prevent someone from using this matter to make a fuss, immediately send people to investigate thoroughly. Find out who's behind this for Wang! "
"Yes, Your Highness."
Mo Li said.
After Mo Li left, Chu Xuanchen stared sharply into the distance. His eyes were filled with killing intent.
First, Zhang Qing was arrested. Then, the public opinion was being manipulated. It seemed like there was an invisible hand behind all of this to destroy him!
。
As soon as Mo Li left, Mo Zhu hurried in. "Your Highness, there's news from the palace.
The Emperor said that Prince Xian had not been able to solve Zhang Daren's case after so long, and he was extremely angry. He said that Zhang Daren was a second-rank high official, yet he repeatedly went in and out of Yihong Lou, and was even involved in a murder case. He simply lacked the morals of an official.
He has already sent Eunuch Xu to the Capital Magistrate's office to deliver a verbal order, saying that Prince Xian has three days to solve the case. If he can't solve the case within three days, the Emperor will directly execute Lord Zhang! "
Chu Xuanchen coldly raised his eyebrows, "Is the Emperor already so impatient?"
Did he really want to get rid of Zhang Qing that badly?
"Yes, Your Highness, what should we do now?"
Mo Zhu asked worriedly.
Chu Xuanchen's eyes darkened, and he fell into deep thought.
At this moment, Liu Ruyan's voice suddenly came from outside. "Your Highness, that's great! This subordinate has found witnesses!"
Hearing Liu Ruyan's voice, Chu Xuanchen and Mo Zhu happily looked at each other. As soon as Liu Ruyan walked in, Chu Xuanchen asked, "Ruyan, what witnesses did you find?"
Liu Ruyan happily said, "Your Highness, you previously sent this subordinate to investigate the vicinity of Zhang Mansion.
This subordinate has been investigating the vicinity of Zhang Mansion for several days, and fortunately, I didn't fail my mission. I found two witnesses that can clear Zhang Daren's name and prove his innocence. "
"Two witnesses?
Which two witnesses? "
Chu Xuanchen asked.
