Chapter 228 Empress Yang's Wise Choice

The Liao Kingdom and the Great Zhou Dynasty are both mortal enemies, and they are the ones that can never end until death. Yanyun's Sixteen Prefectures are unreleased.

It’s just that there are no heroes in Liao Kingdom who want to invade the south, and the Great Zhou is unable to counterattack, so the two countries temporarily quit.

But this kind of peace comes at a price, that is, the Great Zhou Dynasty has to pay 500,000 taels of silver, 300,000 pieces of silk, 50,000 kilograms of tea, and one million stones of grain every year as compensation.

If it is converted into copper coins, it will be almost two million coins, which is definitely a huge number.

And this is not a question of whether or not money is money, it is a question of how Dazhou was slapped in the face.

Not to mention the emperor and queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, even ordinary people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who wouldn’t grit their teeth at the Liao Kingdom? I wish I could get rid of it and be quick?

Queen Yang was in a very happy mood when she heard that her mortal rival, Nanjing and an important port was destroyed. She laughed:

"It's such a coincidence, it's a coincidence!"

Seeing that the Empress was so happy, Zhou Jingyi knew that she should have passed the test again this time, so he carefully reminded:

"Empress, think about it again. The day after Chen Buer returned from Dengzhou, the Cui family had a murder. As long as this kid appeared, a systematic murder would occur wherever he appeared. This is a coincidence.

Moreover, our spies reported that when the Cui family committed a murder, Chen Buer was not far away. At that time, he was having dinner at Huixianlou, two miles away from Gushengtang. I went to see it myself. In his room at that time, he could see the Cui family's inner house from afar.

However, he also has reasons to clear his suspicion. First, Huixian Tower is at least nearly 800 steps away from Gushengtang, more than two miles away. If it was his case, what kind of hidden weapon would hurt people? It was so far that even people from far away could not see clearly, let alone killing them."

Queen Yang thought, "If you continue talking, is there another reason?"

“There is another reason?”

Zhou Jingyi burst out laughing.

Queen Yang looked at her big nephew for no reason, her eyes full of confusion.

"Grandmaster, I remembered the confessions of the waiters of Huixianlou. They told me that Chen Buer was drinking and reciting poems in the room. At that time, the young master Chen was drunk and making a big fuss, and he also wrote a poem on the spot.

Empress, listen to the poem he wrote at that time: 'If you want to ask how many women are, I don't know how many of them are. Yesterday, a child called me dad, but I don't know which one he is?' Hahaha, I really laughed at me."

Queen Yang's mouth twitched when she heard this. Is this a poem? This is not even folk slang, and it is simply vulgar.

Zhou Jingyi finished laughing and continued:

"So from Xiao Er's testimony, Chen Buer had doubts and motives for committing the crime. After all, he appeared at the place where he shouldn't have the least time, tools, and methods for committing the crime.

If he was a murderer, at such a long distance, he could shoot into Cui Mansion unless a large tool like an octagonal crossbow in the army, but there was nothing unusual at the scene. If there were large weapons, he would not have time to collect them, so it was difficult for me to judge."

Zhou Jingyi told his own speculation and investigation and came to his own conclusion.

Queen Yang was walking slowly in the palace and suddenly smiled and said, "No, he still has a flaw."

"Oh? What is it?" Zhou Jingyi asked strangely.

"Do you remember that on the night when the Chen family was raided, three halls in the palace were burned down by fire for no reason. According to the personal army at the vigil, they first heard three loud thunder sounds, then the explosion, and finally the fire."

"Hiss~~~~"

Zhou Jingyi took a breath of air, "This, isn't this the same routine as the destruction of Xijin Mansion?"

Queen Yang stood in front of the window, and from here she could see the eaves of Tianzhang Pavilion, but Tianzhang Pavilion was burned down by a mysterious fire that night, leaving only an empty shell.

"How? The methods of committing the crime are the same. Several mysterious cases are inseparable from Chen Buer or the Chen family. What does that mean?"

"The fire in the palace, the explosion of Xijin Mansion, the king of the South Court was killed, the port of Suzhou was destroyed, and the brothers of Cui were shot in the head, all of which were done by the Chen family!"

"No, to be precise, it should be Chen Buer's actions!"

Zhou Jingyi stood up suddenly, with a fierce look on his face: "Good guy, I'll arrest him now and interrogate him severely. If I don't believe that I can't get anything torture."

"Slow down."

Queen Yang spoke out and stopped it:

"You, you are reckless in doing things. If it is really a case done by Chen Buer, he would explode even if he said it to Nanjing in Liao Kingdom. My palace would burn it as soon as it is to burn it. Do you think he would let you catch it? Don't lose your life first!"

Zhou Jingyi was anxious: "But Empress, let's let him go like this? He, he has blown up the three palaces in the palace, and his sins are unforgivable."

Queen Yang gave her nephew a blank look and sighed in her heart. After all, the Yang family is a small family, and the people who come out are not big enough, so they will shout and fight and kill.

"Yes, now we are just speculating, and there is no evidence that it was done by Chen Buer. Even if he did it, he exploded the Xijin Mansion and killed the King of the Nanyuan. This is a great thing for our country to be proud and he has made contributions.

As for him bombing the palace, it is not simple. If he really wants me and the official family to die, do you think we can live until now? This is just a child who loses his temper and acts like a little bitch, and it doesn't matter.

What’s important is that if Chen Buer really has such a despicable ability and the ability to blow up a city and kill a prince of the Liao Kingdom without knowing it, then if he is used by the court, can he be worth millions of heroes?"

Zhou Jingyi looked confused: "Oh, what does Empress mean is we have incorporated him?"

"No, there is really a powerful person with extraordinary skills. How can the imperial court admit it? What do you use to incorporate him? Money? Women? Official positions? People may not see it, and with his ability, it is difficult to make money?

So the best way to treat him is to pretend not to know and then slowly win him over. Young people are most concerned about his three partners. Isn’t he so much about his friendship? Now the Duke of Yi County has a good relationship with him, so let Zijin win him over.”

"Mr. Yi County? His softness is written on his face and will be seen through by Chen Buer immediately. No, no."

"You, because Zijin is too honest and cowardly, and easily seen through, you can win Chen Buer's trust and become a confidant. What we need to do is to create an opportunity for them to be together every day to cultivate their feelings.

Once Zijin's child and Chen Buer become best friends, in the future, if the royal family has something to do or the country has something to do, Chen Buer will stand by and watch? Even if he doesn't do anything for others, he will take action to protect Zijin, even..."

Queen Yang sneered: "It may even be possible to help Chai Zijin ascend the throne."
