Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 656; Who would it be?

"Another bomb, what the hell are these bastards trying to do?"

Emperor Hongwen was very angry.

Don't look at him asking what these guys want to do, but he knows it very well in his heart.

Bombs must be a sharp weapon in future wars. Where there is war, there will be meritorious service. Those ministers who want to get bombs are nothing more than wanting to make further progress in their official careers.

And some of them are here to help the master behind them.

For example, the second prince, the second prince has been very active recently.

However, Emperor Hongwen was quite satisfied with his activity.

Although I know what these guys are planning, but Lu Yaoyao has already let go, you can buy it if you have the ability, it is shameful to use this kind of nonsense.

Besides, the reason why he reused Jin Wang was nothing more than to let him accumulate prestige in preparation for his abdication in the future.

As long as King Jin's reputation is high enough and many people support him, then his abdication will be smooth.

Now that this rumor comes out, won't it destroy the prestige accumulated by King Jin in the past few times?
What's more important is his daughter Lu Yaoyao. If this rumor continues to spread, won't she become an anti-princess?

"Let Huo Di investigate clearly for me, who actually spread the word, and once found out, the Fa will be punished on the spot."

Wang De quickly took the order to retreat.

"Idiot, how many times have I said, don't provoke her, even if you do, now is not the time."

"Go and tell me to be honest, if there is another time, the cooperation will be terminated."

"And get rid of Yan Zuo, don't leave any lies."

On the same day, two secret letters were sent out from the Zhen Guogong's mansion.

The next day, a news spread in the capital that Yan Zuo, the former Minister of Industry, got drunk and fell into the pond in the mansion and drowned.

Regarding Yan Zuo's death, there was no disturbance. After all, he was just a former minister of the Ministry of Industry who had lost his power. In addition, during the past period of time, he bought drunk everywhere every day, drinking like mud.

It's normal to get drunk and stumble.

What's worth mentioning is that with Yan Zuo's death, the topic of Prince Jin's suspected rebellion, which had been raging in the capital, was unknowingly replaced by praising King Jin's recent achievements.

Even the things that Lu Yaoyao did for the common people were revealed again and publicized.

With the topic of merit, the original suspicion of conspiracy was quickly suppressed.

"Interesting, it seems that some people in this capital are really ready to move."

Although the rumors outside have been broken, Lu Yaoyao's expression does not reveal any relief or happiness.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see what happened this time, it was someone manipulating behind the scenes.

It's just that they don't know why, they suddenly gave up their original plan and started laundering instead.

Of course, this does not rule out the fact that someone secretly helped, but the information Hou Si got from his side confirmed one thing, the people who spread the rumors and the people who later laundered the whitewashing should be the same group.

The reason why I say that is naturally because neither of them left any traces.

It's fine to spread rumors without leaving any traces, because you're afraid of being found and cleaned up, but it's a good thing to help clean up, and it's also an opportunity to build a relationship with Lu Yaoyao.

I don't know how many people in Beijing hope to get such an opportunity, but this person is afraid of being investigated.

She did a good deed, but she was afraid of being found out, and she didn't believe it if she said there was no problem.

It's just that she really can't figure out who is acting as a demon.

"Miss, this servant also heard the news that Yan Zuo died."

"Yan Zuo? Who is it?"

Lu Yaoyao frowned a little, as if he hadn't remembered who this Yan Zuo was.

"It's Yan Zuo, the former servant of the Ministry of Industry who forced you to hand over the method of making the bomb in the court hall."

"Oh? It's him. Why did he die suddenly? I'm still thinking about looking for a chance to clean up after I've been busy for a while."

It's no wonder she didn't remember this guy, but during this period of time, she was indeed a bit busy. On the one hand, she was busy preparing for the housewarming banquet, and on the other hand, these messy rumors in the capital also bothered her a little.

"I heard that he was drunk and stumbled and drowned. You said it was strange. The servant asked Hou Si, and he said that the day this man died was the day when the rumors about you and King Jin began to turn around."

"Ok?"

Lu Yaoyao suddenly became interested and asked carefully, but Qiu Yu also said that she didn't quite understand.

"Go get someone to call Hou Si, and I'll ask him directly."

After a while, Si came.

Hearing Lu Yaoyao's inquiry about Yan Zuo, Hou Si immediately explained what he had investigated and what he had heard.

"Two days before Yan Zuo's death, someone went to the family, but that person's subordinates didn't keep up."

"Subordinates suspect that the rumors this time were probably made by Yan Zuo, and they were instigated by others."

"During this period of time, my subordinates have been keeping this matter, but there is no news yet."

Lu Yaoyao nodded, more and more certain in his heart that there might be some ghosts and snakes lurking in the dark in the current capital.

It's just that these guys are more cautious, and they can't catch their tails yet.

However, she wasn't in a hurry, since she already had clues, she couldn't hide them.

"Continue to pay attention to the investigation, as soon as there is any news or discovery, you will report it."

"I want to see who is targeting me like this."

Hou Si retreated in response.

Lu Yaoyao, on the other hand, sorted out all the people who she might have offended in the capital and who had the ability and courage to target her.

No. 1 was naturally King Ning, but she passed the name as soon as it came to mind.

As for the current King Ning, not to mention whether he has such ability, but just talking about his brain, I'm afraid he can't do such a thing without leaving a trace.

If King Ning had been smart, he wouldn't have ended up like this today.

Except for King Ning, that is the Wu family. Although the Wu family has been destroyed, as an old family for so many years, the relationship behind the scenes is intricate, and the ghost knows if there is something slipping through the net.

Then there are King Yun and the Lin family, who have been dealt with by her before.

But after thinking about it, she felt that there was a high probability that these people did not have such ability and courage.

After all, she can be said to be in full swing now, and Jin Wang is in control of the army. This is the most powerful time. It is very unwise to trouble her at this time.

But even though she thought it was unlikely, she still asked Qiushuang to notify Hou Si and pay more attention to the news in this regard.

In addition to these people who had enmity with her, she also wanted to list some people who had no conflict with her.

After all, in the officialdom, King Jin's rise has been too fast recently, and some of his seats have been taken away by airborne. Many people have worked hard for many years and want to climb up, and now someone suddenly appeared and snatched them away. , how could it be possible not to harbor resentment?
