Chapter 207 Li Hong's Secret

If you want to know what Zhou Futong has enemies, you must know what he has done before and who he has offended. However, he is a person around Li Hong, and many things are done for Li Hong, so if you want to know these things, you must ask Li Hong, otherwise you will not be able to investigate them at all.

Di Renjie is now in charge of the investigation of the Zhou family's family destruction case, but it is difficult for him to see Li Hong, so he is in a difficult situation now. Finally, after thinking about it for a while, Zhang Zong decided to take him to see Li Hong. Although he was not sure that Li Hong told him everything about Zhou Futong, he had to give it a try.

"The person who was the most suitable person to meet the prince should be Mr. Zhou. Unfortunately, he went to the Western Regions to handle matters last year and has not come back yet." Di Renjie also said to Zhang Zong helplessly on the carriage.

When talking about Master Zhou, Zhang Zong suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen the other party for a long time, but this was not surprising. He and Master Zhou did not have a deep friendship. At most, he was nodding. In addition, the other party was elusive, so it was normal that it would not be able to see someone in a month or two, so he didn't know that the other party actually went to the Western Regions last year.

"Brother Zhang, do you think the prince will tell us about General Zhou?" Di Renjie asked tentatively again at this time.

In fact, although Di Renjie knew that Zhang Zong was deeply trusted by Li Hong, he did not know how much trust he trusted. Moreover, Zhang Zong was not from Feinusi. If he were Li Hong, he would probably not have told them some secrets.

"I can't tell you this!" Zhang Zong shook his head after hearing this, and then he suddenly asked Di Renjie curiously, "Since Mr. Zhou is from Feinusi, why is he very close to the prince? Does the prince have the right to interfere in Feinusi?"

"This..." Di Renjie also showed a hesitant expression when he heard this question, because this question had already involved Feinusi's secrets, but in the end he still spoke, "To be honest with Brother Zhang, Feinusi belongs to the royal family. Except for His Majesty's order, no one has the right to mobilize Feinusi, even the three provinces and six ministries, but the prince is an exception..."

Following Di Renjie's account, Zhang Zong realized the special status of Feinusi. In fact, Feinusi is more like a private institution belonging to the emperor. Even the finances are independent of the three provinces and six ministries, but are allocated by the royal treasury. Moreover, Feinusi's power is also extremely powerful. As long as the emperor's orders are given, they can go directly to any yamen, and even have their power in the army.

With such a powerful organization, the internal organization is naturally very strict. If the transfer of power is involved, it will naturally be even more troublesome. Therefore, when the emperor was in power, if he chose the prince, he would arrange the people of Feinusi beside the prince to familiarize himself with the operation of Feinusi and understand the strength of Feinusi. In this way, if he ascends the throne in the future, he can control the government as soon as possible with the power of Feinusi.

Mr. Zhou was the one arranged by Feinusi to Li Hong, and he had a high status in Feinusi. If Li Hong ascended the throne in the future, Mr. Zhou would immediately take over the entire Feinusi, making the entire Feinusi an institution that was completely loyal to Li Hong.

"So that's it. No wonder Mr. Zhou is deeply trusted by the prince!" Zhang Zong nodded after hearing this. Li Hong could indeed influence Feinusi to some extent through Mr. Zhou, but he could not directly command Feinusi to do things. After all, he is just the prince and not the emperor, so he also needs to send other people to do some things, so Zhou Futong was also found.

"In fact, we are not completely ignorant of Zhou Futong. We just know some things, some are just hearing about them, and some are not afraid to investigate them. But now in order to investigate the case, we must be clear about what Zhou Futong does."

Di Renjie finally showed a helpless expression again. He had handled so many cases, and the most troublesome one was the case involving the royal family, such as the case where Princess Ying was starved to death by Wu Meiniang. At that time, he was worried about losing his hair a lot. Unexpectedly, this time he was even more unlucky and encountered a case related to the prince.

When Zhang Zong heard this, he patted Di Renjie sympathetically. Since he entered Feinusi, he must have taken over such troublesome cases. If he had been to himself, he would have been unable to stand resigning from office or not.

But to be honest, Zhang Zong thinks that Di Renjie should like this feeling of investigating the case very much, especially the moment when he finally found the real murderer through the heavy fog, it should be the most enjoyable moment for a detective. You should know that investigating the case is also addictive, and this is also the main reason why Di Renjie has always been willing to take over such a difficult case.

The carriage arrived at Furongyuan quickly, and it was already afternoon. Zhang Zong first went home and asked Wan'er to prepare dinner. They were busy investigating the case all day and didn't even eat lunch. They were all very hungry now. And when they saw Li Hong, they probably wouldn't be able to get out for a while, so it would be better to have a meal before going there.

However, Di Renjie was in a hurry to see Li Hong, so Zhang Zong asked Wan'er to prepare some food simply. Then the two of them finished eating voraciously and immediately went into Furong Garden to meet Li Hong.

"See Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Zhang Zong and Di Renjie entered the hall and immediately saluted Li Hong.

"No need to be polite, how is the case investigated?" Li Hong was not surprised by Di Renjie's arrival. In fact, he met Zhang Zong yesterday, hoping to let Zhang Zong participate in the case, because he knew the relationship between Zhang Zong and Di Renjie.

Zhang Zong looked at Di Renjie at this time and signaled the other party to come forward to explain the case. Di Renjie did not hesitate, so he stepped forward and said, "Report to the Crown Prince, Brother Zhang and I have carefully checked the crime scene again. Thanks to Brother Zhang's experience, we have found some clues. And now we can confirm that this should be a revenge against General Zhou..."

Di Renjie said and explained the situation they found in detail. Li Hong also listened very seriously, but his face became less and less beautiful. After all, Zhou Futong is his person. The revenge against Zhou Futong is actually no different from targeting him. But who is so bold? Isn’t he afraid of his own revenge?

"Your Highness, for the sake of this plan, we must find out who General Zhou has offended, who hate him to the core, and have the ability to send a killer to destroy the entire Zhou family!" Di Renjie finally concluded again, and after saying that, he retreated to Zhang Zong's side and stopped talking.
