Chapter 276: Dealing with the Wu Brothers

Zhang Zong was also shocked when he heard that the case had made new progress. Although the victory in Tuyuhun was very happy, the case still could not be relaxed, especially since they had found a breakthrough in the case before, Zhang Zong had waited for a long time, and now there is finally news.

"Zhang Zong, didn't you ask Di Renjie and the others to check Wu Sansi and others, especially those who have had close relationships with the Wu brothers and others?" Li Hong pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"Yes, I suspect that the planner behind the scenes should have dated the Wu brothers, especially he also has some connection with the palace. Otherwise, the person in the palace would not trust him so much, so that he could mobilize so much energy, and even the Wu brothers would obey his arrangements." Zhang Zong nodded immediately after hearing this.

"This... I've got a look now!" Li Hong suddenly sighed when he said this, and a look of regret appeared on his face.

"That's great, what did Brother Di find?" Zhang Zong said excitedly when he heard this, but he did not notice any abnormalities on Li Hong's face.

Li Hong pondered for a moment, then said: "Di Renjie found after this period of investigation that Wu Sansi, Wu Chengsi and others had recently come into contact with the same person, especially Wu Sansi, who even attracted this person as a close friend. The two had a close relationship!"

"Who is it?" Zhang Zong said even more excited when he heard this. Although there was no evidence, since Di Renjie could find this person, there must be reasons for his suspicion, and he has always believed in Di Renjie's judgment.

"You know this person too, he is Ming Chongyan!" Li Hong sighed again at the end of his speech. He actually admired Ming Chongyan very much. He had wanted to summon the other party to his subordinates to do things, but he did not expect that the other party had secretly surrendered to the woman in the palace, which made him both regretful and disappointed.

"It turned out to be him!" Zhang Zong also looked surprised when he heard Ming Chongyan's name, but then he thought that in history, Ming Chongyan seemed to have defected to Wu Meiniang, and ended up offending Li Xian, which eventually caused a murder. Now it seems that he still chose the same path.

"According to the situation investigated by Di Renjie, Ming Chongyan and Wu Sansi had known each other a few years ago. Even Ming Chongyan was able to enter the eyes of his father because Wu Sansi helped him. In recent years, Ming Chongyan rose up, but he was still very close to Wu Sansi. Di Renjie even suspected that he had secretly surrendered to the palace!" Li Hong sighed again at this time.

"If Ming Chongyan really relies on the Wu family to take office, it would not be surprising that he participated in this case. In addition, he is very good at the so-called "ghosts and gods". Although I don't know much about these things, I think I can't escape the techniques of the real and the real, the real, the fake, and this requires a very careful thought. In this way, he is really in line with the identity of the planner behind it!" Zhang Zong also spoke at this time.

"Di Renjie told me the same thing, and he found another exact news, that was, on the day the Furong Garden caught fire, Wu Sansi appeared in Furong Garden, and shortly after he left, the dock in the courtyard caught fire. In addition, when the fire broke out, someone saw Wu Sansi and Ming Chongyan leaving together outside Furong Garden. These things could not be coincidental!"

When Li Hong said it at the end, he also showed an annoyed look. Although he admired Ming Chongyan, after this incident, Ming Chongyan had already stood opposite him. Don’t blame him for being merciless in the future.

"But... even if we found Ming Chongyan, we had no evidence. Could it be that we just watched him get away with the law?" Zhang Zong thought of another thing and frowned and said again.

"It is indeed troublesome to capture Ming Chongyan. He is a favorite minister around his father. Even his father's illness has to be relieved. In addition, he is careful in his work and has no way to deal with it from beginning to end, so he has nowhere to do it, but..."

When Li Hong said it at the end, he suddenly smiled proudly and said, "Ming Chongyan is indeed difficult to deal with, but it does not mean that he is impeccable. After all, he is the prince, and it is too simple to deal with someone."

"What are your best solutions?" Zhang Zong immediately asked when he heard this.

"It's not a good idea. Ming Chongyan is careful in his work and does not keep his hands behind his back, but it doesn't mean that everyone is like him. For example, the Wu brothers, they have too many handles to be used. As long as they catch them and let them offer Ming Chongyan out, everything will become very simple!" Li Hong smiled coldly at the end.

Zhang Zong was also stunned when he heard this. He wanted to ask what if the Wu brothers didn't recruit him? But then he thought of the torture instruments he saw when he went to Tianzhu to find Di Renjie. Although these torture instruments were far less powerful than the tortures studied by cruel officials such as Lai Junchen a few years later, they were not something that ordinary people could withstand.

Although Zhang Zong's instinctive feeling of using torture is somewhat repulsive, this should be one of the characteristics of this era, and he is unable to change it at all. However, this reminds him that he will not be able to go to prison in the future, otherwise he will have to lose his skin even if he does not die.

"I have already told someone to do the things about dealing with the Wu brothers. I know you don't like these things, so you don't have to worry about it next!" Li Hong also saw what Zhang Zong was thinking at this time, and immediately reached out and patted his shoulder and said.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Zhang Zong did not insist in the end. In fact, he was unwilling to participate in specific affairs, but it was okay to help Li Hong consult and analyze the problems.

"During this period of time, you and Di Renjie have worked hard. Di Renjie still has some things to investigate, and I guess there is no time to rest for the time being. Zhang Zong is the most trouble. When the war in Tubo ends in the future, you will make great contributions to the court again. At that time, I will definitely let my father give you a generous gift!" Li Hong patted Zhang Zong's shoulder again and said.

Li Hong always felt that he was very guilty of Zhang Zong because Zhang Zong helped him too much, but Zhang Zong didn't like being an official, so he was unwilling to accept many rewards. Moreover, his father Li Zhi's attitude towards Zhang Zong was not clear. Although he knew that Zhang Zong was talented, he did not deliberately promote and train him, and even many rewards that he should have were not rewarded, which made Li Hong often want to compensate Zhang Zong.

"Your Highness doesn't have to worry about me. I don't care much about rewards and so on!" Zhang Zong also saw what Li Hong was thinking, and immediately smiled freely. He and Li Hong had known each other for so long, and they had developed a tacit understanding between each other.
