"You found out?" Huangfu Ye and Guan Feng shouted in unison. They couldn't believe it. Last night, they still didn't get anything, and their lives were hanging by a thread. How could there be results this morning? It was unbelievable. Both of them looked at Yi Yunfei, wanting to see if he was joking. But looking at his expression, he was very certain. He didn't seem to be joking at all. Could it be true?
Yi Yunfei saw their surprised gazes and continued with a smile,""Don't doubt me. I'm telling the truth. I didn't expect things to go so smoothly, but that's the truth. You must be very curious to know how I got it. Coincidentally, when I went out this morning, I heard someone discussing this matter, so I ran over to listen. After listening for a while, I knew what was going on, so there was no need to investigate further.”Yi Yun was speaking the truth. If he hadn't been entranced by the story this morning, how could he have been discovered by Daoist Priest Regret? However, he knew better than Regret Daoist. Although he had only heard a few words, he knew what was going on, including who Old Man Wang was.
"Can you believe the rumors on the streets?”Huangfu Ye was very suspicious." They are just making wild guesses and talking nonsense. Don't be misled by them.”
"Young Master Huangfu, that's not true. Although they are just ordinary people, sometimes the things they say can still be believed. Moreover, the government doesn't know anything now, so we can't find anything.”He paused for a moment and said," Although the words of these people are not trustworthy, combined with what I've heard before, I can really determine who that person is.”
"Who is it?"
"His name is Zhang Jian. Twenty years ago, he was one of the personal guards of the sixth prince, Zhen Gaoxuan.”Yi Yun explained. Upon hearing this name, Guan Feng was a little excited, as if he was about to stand up. Yi Yunfei had been observing his condition. When he saw him like this, he immediately shook his head and asked him to sit down. Guan Feng calmed down and sat down. In fact, she was still very excited. In order not to let Huangfu Ye notice anything strange, she lowered her head.
Huangfu Ye did not notice anything amiss with Guan Feng. He only found the two unfamiliar names Yi Yunfei mentioned strange."Who are Zhang Jian and that Sixth Prince? What does he have to do with my father's murder?”
"The Sixth Prince is the younger brother of the current Emperor. Twenty years ago, he was deeply doted on by the late Emperor. The late Emperor wanted to pass the throne to him. The Crown Prince at that time, who was also the current Emperor, was very angry when he found out and falsely accused the Sixth Prince of treason. They even threatened the late emperor by forcing him to abdicate. The late emperor had no choice but to send someone to punish the sixth prince, which would be the crime of beheading. The late emperor was definitely unwilling to do so, so he sent someone to save the sixth prince and send him out of the capital.”
"I've heard of this too." Huangfu Ye nodded and said," It seems like he was discovered and killed. Everyone knew about this matter. Anyone could say it. Moreover, it had already been twenty years. Why did it appear again?”
"Young Master Huangfu, you only know one part of the story. As far as I know, the one who was killed back then was only a substitute. The real Sixth Prince has already escaped successfully. However, the current Emperor was not satisfied. He had to find the Sixth Prince. Even after 20 years, he was still unwilling to give up. Even the Sixth Prince's subordinates would not let him go. That Zhang Jian was an example. After hiding for so long, he was still discovered.”After saying that, he sighed heavily and expressed his regret." Young Master Huangfu, haven't you always wanted to know what the secret of the Night-Luminescent Pearl is? Then I'll tell you."”
"So you already knew?" Huangfu Ye was alarmed. The previous few times he had asked, Yi Yun did not know. He had thought that Yi Yun really did not know. He never expected Yi Yun to deliberately hide it. Huangfu Ye's trust in Yi Yunfei could not help but plummet.
Yi Yun did not know that Huangfu Ye would be furious if he said such words. He did not find it strange when he saw his attitude. He only nodded calmly."Yes, I know. The late Emperor had hidden the sixth prince, but he was still worried. He told the person he trusted the most about his whereabouts, which was the sixth prince's teacher, Shen Deming, Shen Muwen's father. He was afraid that the sixth prince would forget, so he carved this place on a luminous pearl and gave it to him. Then, Shen Deming resigned and left the capital. He went to Jiangluo City and married your family. Do you think that Shen Deming left the luminous pearl there as a token?”Yi Yunfei shook his head." It's not that simple. The Crown Prince had long suspected this matter and sent people to secretly kill Shen Deming's family. Fortunately, your grandfather Huangfu Hengming protected him and left the Night-Luminescent Pearl there for safety. After all, your Fuxing Bodyguard Agency has no direct relationship with the imperial court, so Zhao Shengming did not dare to act rashly.”
"But he still made a move." Huangfu Ye said angrily.
"This is hard to predict. Shen Muwen probably didn't expect this either. He had thought that after 20 years, this matter had already faded and Zhao Shengming and the current Emperor would not continue to investigate. That was why Shen Muwen had brought his daughter back to Jiangluo City. He did not expect that they would not be able to hide. Not only did you lose your life, but you also caused your father, Huangfu Lingtian, to die. Fuxing Bodyguard Agency disappeared overnight. What a pity.”After he finished speaking, he looked at Huangfu Ye and said apologetically," Actually, I knew about this long ago, but I didn't tell you. It's really a matter of great importance, so I can't just blurt it out. I hope Young Master Huangfu can understand.”
"Forget it. I know you can't say it. After all, it's such a matter.”Huangfu Ye didn't care. After knowing the truth, he was shocked and curious about Shen Xiyin's reaction. Suddenly, he thought of another question. He turned to look at Yi Yunfei," You don't look very old. How do you know so much?”
"To tell you the truth, my father is also Prince Six's man. Twenty years ago, he was the one who escorted Prince Six out. After he came back, he was interrogated by Zhao Shengming. My father was loyal to the sixth prince, and he swore to die, so they killed him.”At this point, Yi Yunfei's voice was a little choked up, which moved Huangfu Ye. He continued," It was because my mother and I were taken away that we were spared. After knowing that my father had died, I swore to avenge my father and never give up. All these years, I've been in the capital, enduring hardships to kill Zhao Shengming, but I've never succeeded. After all, he hadn't worked hard in vain to find out so many things.”
"No wonder." Huangfu Ye finally understood. The suspicion in his heart was gone, but he felt that it was a pity." I didn't know the true colors of Zhao Shengming and Zhao Luyan back then. I trusted them and even gave them the Night-Luminescent Pearl. Now that I think about it, I've committed an unforgivable crime. Especially after hearing you say this, I feel that it shouldn't be. If they could have told me earlier, I wouldn't be like this. I really don't know what Shen Xiyin and Regretful Daoist are thinking. Why are they so unwilling to tell me the truth?”
"They're doing this for your own good." Yi Yunfei patted him on the shoulder and comforted him," It wasn't easy to save you. Of course, I don't want to see you die. If I were them, I might have done the same. If you were Shen Xiyin or that Taoist priest, would you tell them? The premise is that you are still alive.”
Huangfu Ye thought about it carefully and confirmed that it was true. However, he still felt helpless." The problem is that Zhao Shengming has already obtained the luminous pearl. He might know where the sixth prince is. Do you think he will…"
" The Sixth Prince is already dead." Yi Yunfei said calmly. He casually glanced at Guan Feng and saw that there was nothing unusual about him. He was relieved and continued to deal with Huangfu Ye.
"What? How did you know?"
"My father was the one who escorted the sixth prince, so of course he knew where he was. Although he died, he still left a letter. I read it carefully and finally found the sixth prince. I didn't plan to find him, but I heard that Zhao Shengming wanted to kill him, so I thought I should remind him. After seeing him, I told him about this matter. He also agreed to leave and asked me to leave quickly. After I left, I was still worried. The next day, I went back to see him. I didn't expect him to be dead.”In order not to make Guan Feng suspicious, he could only say this.
"Was it really done by Zhao Shengming?" Huangfu Ye found it hard to believe. Wasn't it too fast?
Yi Yunfei shook his head." Actually, I can't be sure either. After all, I didn't see the murderer. But I feel that from the current situation, other than Zhao Shengming, there shouldn't be anyone else. I know you must be wondering why Zhao Shengming is so fast. At first, I found it strange, but after thinking about it, I understand. Zhao Shengming has been preparing for this for a long time. The current Emperor is also the same, so he won't let go of the news. He will definitely kill the Sixth Prince as soon as possible to get rid of any future troubles.”
"But my father had nothing to do with them. Why did they kill him?”
"Maybe they thought your father knew the secret of the Night-Luminescent Pearl, so they wanted to silence him.”Seeing that Huangfu Ye was about to retort, Yi Yun waved his hand to stop him." I know what you want to say. You probably think that your father doesn't know this secret, right? If he really did not know, why would Shen Deming leave it behind? If he didn't trust your grandfather, would he have told him such an important thing?”
"Are you saying that my grandfather and father know about this?”
"I'm not sure if they know or not, but I feel that it's impossible for them to leave this thing behind without knowing anything. But I'm sure that Shen Muwen and Shen Xiyin also know about it. The Night-Luminescent Pearl has been in their hands for so long, it's impossible that they don't know anything. Perhaps they already know something, but they just don't want to tell you.”Yi Yun analyzed.
Huangfu Ye thought about it carefully. It made sense. Even if his father really didn't know the secret, his grandfather should know a little. It didn't matter if they knew or not. He knew now, but it didn't seem to have anything to do with him. In Huangfu Ye's heart, there was only one goal, which was to kill Zhao Shengming and avenge his father."Thank you for telling me these things. Your words have enlightened me. I have also figured out some things. At the very least, I know why my father died. He just didn't know what Mr. Yi's next step would be. When would he seek revenge on Zhao Shengming?”
"Young Master Huangfu, don't be anxious. I won't go back on my promise. It's just that things are not easy now. Although I've figured out the whole story, it's almost impossible to use this to bring down Zhao Shengming. I haven't thought of a specific method yet, but I plan to return to the capital first and see the situation there. Then I'll act according to the situation.”
"That's fine, I'll go back with you. But when the time is right, you can't stop me from killing Zhao Shengming.”Huangfu Ye had no choice but to agree. Even though he knew why his father died, he still felt that his father had died unjustly. Even if his father knew something, Zhao Shengming couldn't kill him. He did not blame Shen Muwen and Shen Deming at all. His father was a loyal man, and if he knew about this, he would definitely keep it a secret.
