"Father, calm down and let the general tell you the truth!" Zhai Xiying was very curious as to what was the reason that made Xiong Ye keep quiet and did not specify the cause of Zhou Zhou's death.

He looked at Xiong Ye and signaled that Xiong Ye could speak. After so long, he said it now. Zhai Yuan wanted to secretly assassinate Xiong Ye. It was no longer as easy as before!

"General..." Xiong Ye looked at Qu Lishang. He remembered that Old Qu Wang once said to him...

If in the future, the cause of Zhou Zhou's death is revealed through someone else's mouth, he can rest assured and boldly tell the truth.

Xiong Ye did not expect that after telling the cause of General Zhou's death, it would take more than ten or twenty years for the deceased to be buried in peace!

"The wounds on General Zhou's body were indeed caused by swords. At that time, I was going to report the truth, but the late King Laoqu came to find me and told me the whole story, and asked me to keep silent, so as not to expose him to the enemy.

Bringing disaster to the family!"

"At that time, I had a son and a daughter, and my wife had just escaped from danger. I have a family and responsibilities, and I am also a selfish person!"

"In order not to stir up trouble, I chose to cover up the truth. The incident has only been going on for so long. It has been so long that I have almost forgotten that there was such an incident in the third year of Jian'an!"

After hearing what Xiong Ye said, Zhai Yuan was so angry that he had nothing to say!

Zhai Yuan did not expect that Xiong Ye had investigated the true cause of Zhou Zhou's death, nor did he expect that Qu Xiangbei would have suspected him at that time!

It turned out that Qu Xiangbei had always known that the emperor wanted to kill him, and only a dead person was the safest for the emperor!

He always knew that Zhai Yuan wanted to silence him, but he did not show it. In the court, he also shared political affairs with Zhai Yuan, helped deal with the dynasty, and actively made suggestions.

Zhai Yuan arrived in Jian'an for nine years before he found the opportunity to kill Qu Xiangbei. Although he left behind a Qu Lishang, Zhai Yuan was already satisfied as long as he killed Qu Xiangbei who knew the truth!

But what happened today has a lot to do with the dead Qu Xiangbei!

Not only that, even Lu Batian, who was kneeling silently aside, was also involved! At that time, Lu Batian was wary of Zhai Yuanding, so he left subtle clues to Zhai Xiying, allowing him to dig deeper bit by bit.

Until we get to the bottom?

At that time, Zhai Yuan was confident enough to leave the matter to Lu Batian, but he did not expect that his trust at that time would cause him great trouble!

"King Laoqu knew that the five thousand elite soldiers that the emperor secretly wanted to leave had actually been secretly killed by the emperor, and were called rebels in the Chengweng Mansion."

"Old Qu Wang still has the secret letter that the emperor gave him at that time, which is in the hands of young prince Qu!" Zhai Xiying took advantage of the victory to pursue. No matter what today, he will get the result of the retrial of the old case of Weng Mansion!

Qu Lishang received Zhai Xiying's signal and took out a piece of yellow paper from his sleeve that looked like it had been bitten by bookworms and had dense holes.

On the paper, Qu Lishang raised it high to signal the irrelevant officials to take a look at it. The paper above was also printed with a red dragon seal! It was the emperor's seal!

"Secret order: I want Prince Qu to dispatch five thousand elite troops to the north and hand them over secretly to General Zhou Zhou. They will go to the wild border and attack the foreign thieves who are causing trouble on the imperial border! Do not tell anyone about the execution of this matter!"

There were many incidents of the emperor issuing orders to officials. Since it was the emperor's personal order, how could the loyal Qu Xiangbei disobey the emperor's order?
