Chapter 700: A Life-Saving Confession

Zhou Chang nodded to show that he understood. He stared at Prince Rong and Peng Liang, but whispered to Gao Yuan, "Now the situation is finally clear. The two assassinations on me must have been instigated by Prince Rong. The people he used were probably recruited by the Minister of War Peng. Therefore, Gao Yun's death must be related to them. In addition to the matter of Liu E earlier, I will leave Peng Liang to you to deal with. It can also be regarded as revenge for Gao Yun and Liu E."

Gao Yuan had been staring at Peng Liang during this sentence, and when he heard Zhou Chang say this, a fire burned in his eyes.

Although the two spoke in low voices, Prince Rong and Peng Liang who were nearby could still hear them.

Peng Liang was immediately horrified: "Your Highness Prince Yi, I can confess, I have information that Your Highness can use, please be magnanimous and spare my life, I... no... everything is my father's... it's him, it has nothing to do with me, I, I am also a victim."

"Hmph..." Zhou Chang snorted coldly. Since he had just made a promise to Gao Yuan, there was no reason to go back on his word now.

Peng Liang's eyes were darting around, and he racked his brains to come up with a plan to protect himself: "Your Highness Prince Yi, do you know that the underground exchange in the back mountain of Anle Temple was built by...my father helped Prince Rong build it."

Ok?

Zhou Chang really didn't expect this.

At first, I just thought that the mountain behind Anle Temple was a place where the Peng faction hid its evil, but I didn't expect it to be related to Prince Rong.

Zhou Chang controlled his expression and glanced at Prince Rong.

Prince Rong is really "working hard", and I'm afraid he started this many years ago.

Prince Rong didn't even raise his eyelids, standing there as if no matter what others said, it had nothing to do with him.

Seeing that there was some effect, Peng Liang continued to expose: "His Royal Highness Prince Rong is the mastermind behind the scenes. He has been buying and selling intelligence and trafficking people through there for many years. Also... the incident with the Minister of Revenue Minhang, the group of spies who were framed were also brought in by Prince Rong, who deliberately framed Minhang and dragged His Royal Highness Prince Duan into the water."

"How do you know about this?" Although Zhou Chang asked this, at this point, he did not doubt that what Peng Liang said was false.

"There is an account book, there is an account book..." Peng Liang was anxious to save his life, and he said everything he could. "There is an account book hidden in Anle Temple. I saw it by accident. I also know where the account book is. There are many evil deeds of court officials in it. As long as Your Highness Prince Yi wants it, I can give it to Your Highness Prince Yi. Your Highness Prince Yi, let me go, I am innocent..."

"Your information is outdated. I have known it for a long time and it is useless." Zhou Chang seemed to touch his chin and thought about it, but he still did not intend to give Peng Liang a chance.

I couldn't help but glance at Prince Rong out of the corner of my eye.

Prince Rong remained indifferent, as if he had entered a state of meditation.

"Then, then, then..." Peng Liang was so anxious that he took two steps on his knees, "Then I know something else, I know something more important..."

Zhou Chang just waited quietly for him to continue.

Peng Liang finally picked out another important one from his numerous bad deeds: "Oh, right... the assassination attempt and fire in the Hunting Palace were actually arranged by Prince Rong. His Highness Prince Duan's leg was also disabled by Prince Rong."

"What?" Zhou Chang was really surprised. "Can you explain it more clearly?"

Peng Liang just wanted to stay alive now, so he swallowed his saliva and began to tell the story like pouring beans: "That day at the fire scene, Prince Rong and my father brought me with us. We arrived at the Imperial Study first, and Prince Rong asked me and my father to hide in the dark. Then after His Royal Highness Prince Duan rushed into the Imperial Study, Prince Rong sent people to block the door from the outside, and asked my father to send away the people who came to put out the fire and the eunuchs. At that time, Prince Duan was in the fire and couldn't get out. His Royal Highness Prince Xian was the last to bring people there, and he found that the door was blocked at that time, and Prince Duan asked for help inside. It is estimated that Prince Xian may not really want to save His Royal Highness Prince Duan at that time, and then Prince Rong also changed his mind temporarily, wanting to trap Prince Xian in the fire, so he asked my father and me to show up again, trying to trick Prince Xian into the fire. As a result, after the door was opened, Prince Xian was smart and didn't go in himself, but just sent people to rescue Prince Duan. That's why Prince Rong didn't succeed."

Zhou Chang was completely stunned. He looked Prince Rong up and down again, but he still couldn't believe it no matter how he looked at him.

I didn’t expect that there would be so many twists and turns in the process of Prince Duan’s broken leg.

Moreover, at the beginning, she was afraid that Prince Duan and Prince Xian would join forces to harm Prince Rong, so she racked her brains to warn them.

It turned out that he had made arrangements in advance. While the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it, his rank was much higher than that of Prince Duan and Prince Xian, not to mention that he was Prince Yi.

Even, the very beginning.

She traveled through time and space here, and was implicated by the former Minister of Revenue Min Hang on the Yuan family's boat, and it turned out to be the work of Prince Rong.

It turned out that Prince Rong had been secretly colluding with the Shen Kingdom for many years, step by step trying to kill Prince Duan and Prince Xian, and finally her, Prince Yi.

The game is both deep and wide, and it is even more difficult to maintain a humble and gentlemanly persona for so many years.

The thought was terrifying. Zhou Chang looked at King Rong with mixed feelings.

Prince Rong didn't even raise his eyelids, as if what was said had nothing to do with him.

"Your Highness Prince Yi, please spare my life. I am innocent. The kidnapping has nothing to do with me. I did nothing. I was sent here by my father..." Peng Liang stopped shouting here, and his rat eyes suddenly looked in one direction.

Zhou Chang turned around and looked over there. Liu E was standing a few steps behind him without him noticing.

Liu E's eyes were like two sharp knives piercing Peng Liang. Her deep hatred made her tremble uncontrollably, but she still knelt down to Zhou Chang and said, "Your Highness Prince Yi, this person... can I... can I allow this person to talk to me?"

What's the point of "talking"?

Zhou Chang could hear the unusual hatred in Liu E's trembling voice: "This man has already been handed over to Gao Yuan for disposal. Now he belongs to the two of you."

Liu E bowed deeply again, and when she stood up again, she had a dagger in her hand. She took a few steps forward and stabbed Peng Liang with the dagger without saying anything.

"Ah..." Peng Liang was unable to dodge and screamed.

Liu E didn't say much. She held the dagger and struck Peng Liang's limbs again and again without causing any damage.

"Ah, ah, ah..." Peng Liang screamed in horror, twisted and struggled, and rolled on the ground.

Liu E's dagger followed him like a shadow, stabbing dozens of times without stopping.

Until Peng Liang's shouting gradually weakened, and finally he fell motionless in a pool of blood.

Liu E slowly stopped and wiped the blood splattered on her face with her sleeve.

I didn't know what the grudge was, I was so frightened that I didn't dare to say a word.

Those who know the grudge need not say anything and let Liu E vent.

After a while, Liu E stopped, but seeing that Peng Liang was still alive, she was not satisfied and continued to stab mechanically, again and again, as if she would keep on stabbing as long as she had the strength.
