Chapter 564 (1/2)

Seeing that Xiang Chengfang had retired, the Marquis ordered Cong ting to serve Zheng Zhongguang a cup of tea, pointed to the chair below him and motioned him to sit down and talk.

Zheng Zhongguang didn't show any affectation. After thanking him, he took his seat. He looked a little embarrassed and said, ”although Lord Hou has never met with the lower official, I want to know something about the lower official.”

The Marquis nodded and motioned him to continue.

”The identity of the lower official is embarrassing. Prime Minister Ju still doesn't want to recognize me. She also went to Yongning hall two days ago. Princess Lian met the lower official, but she clearly told me to restrain and don't contact the seventh highness at this time, so as not to leave a handle on the population.” Zheng Zhongguang, blushing, sipped his tea.

The Marquis was calm and did not urge him.

”Originally, your highness wanted to discuss this matter with your highness seven and see if you want to tell the marquis. But now that you can't see your highness seven, you think about it. Your highness seven has a lot to do with the little marquis. Now the little marquis is is suffering from this disaster. Although your highness found it later, he doesn't know if he can help, so he has to decide to tell you without authorization.” Zheng Zhongguang finally explained all the previous causes.

The Marquis changed his posture and knew that the back was what he wanted to say. He was also very curious about what he found.

”Some time ago, your highness Qi learned that the Marquis seemed to be very concerned about a matter 16 or 17 years ago. Although he didn't know what the Marquis was inquiring about, he ordered the lower officer to pay a little attention. So these days, the lower officer has been combing the files in the work department and found a strange thing. It also involved 16 or 17 years ago, so he came here specially.” As soon as Zheng Zhongguang said the beginning, the Hou Ye's face coagulated.

Some time ago, he had been secretly checking in the palace. Who took someone to copy the Miao family incense shop sixteen or seven years ago, but it was as if it had never happened.

Later, the incident broke out in early summer, and the matter was put on hold.

At present, listening to Zheng Zhongguang, his face is naturally solemn.

How did Xiao Zimu know that? He left aside first. At this time, he was even more puzzled about the relationship between the leader of the army and the Ministry of work?

Zheng Zhongguang saw that the Duke's face had changed and dared not delay. Then he said, ”sixteen or seven years ago, the Ministry of work should have been ordered to take over a project and build a palace, which was very private. The lower officials didn't know the appearance of the palace, but inferred it from the materials used. Moreover, the craftsmen went in batches, so they should never have seen the whole picture.”

The Marquis frowned and finally asked, ”what about the last batch of craftsmen?”

Zheng Zhongguang looks like he has the same heart as the Marquis: ”I also thought of this place, but the craftsmen in that group didn't mark the time, so the officials went down to investigate one by one privately, which took these days. But after I checked and asked, they didn't know what they had made. They were covered with black scarves on the way, and they didn't even know where they were made. And there were a group of people on the list They are all dead. The lower official concluded that that batch should be the last. ”

After hearing this, the Marquis sighed slightly: ”so, the clue is still completely broken.”

Zheng Zhongguang blushed: ”yes, the lower official had nowhere to start before he wanted to inform his highness seven, but he can't enter the Yongning hall at present. He thought that his highness seven wanted to help the Marquis investigate secretly at first, so he had to make decisions without authorization and let doctor Xiang take me into the Marquis house.”

Lord Hou nodded and said, ”thank you, Lord Zheng. Since this matter is covered so tightly, you should not mention it to others.”
