The first county magistrate in history

The note read: "It has been confirmed that Xia Tianjiao and Xia Jinzhong are the descendants of the late emperor! Activate your ultimate trump card immediately! I'll explain everything when I get back!"

Wu Xiaoyou was stunned. This was a huge incident!

Inside the inn, Qin Zheng frowned, thinking in his heart: If the twins are the bloodline of the previous emperor, killing each other would be the goal that the old fox wants to achieve.

The Five Princes of Ningguta hated the late emperor to the core. Given their personalities, they were determined to exterminate the late emperor's bloodline. Killing the male heirs to the incense line would be much more satisfying than killing Xia Mochu and Xia Moning.

However, if the empress knew, she would definitely protect him with all her might.

Therefore, it is difficult to kill the twins with Ningguta's strength!

Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that this is the old fox's tactic of using someone else as a substitute.

It is possible that the twins are Shabitu’s biological children.

Given Xia Bitu's cunningness, he has been pretending to be timid ever since he met me, with the purpose of flattery.

But now he took the initiative to duel, and that was after knowing his identities as the leader of the Five Elements Sect and the Lord of the Boundless Palace.

This is tantamount to flying into a flame and courting self-destruction. Knowing how powerful the Boundless Palace is, you still do this and dare to do this. Is it worth it?

"This is not a question of courage. He just wants to divert my attention and cover up the real purpose. He uses these clues he deliberately laid out to interrupt my reasoning or lead me astray so as not to destroy his plan. After all, the Four Realm Kings have been destroyed. In the future, he will never have such an opportunity again, so he can only go all out." Qin Zheng tried hard to unravel the mystery.

If the twins were of Xiabitu's bloodline, doing so would be equivalent to using the empress to preserve his own bloodline, and it would be more likely that one of the twins would be able to ascend the throne.

In that case, Xia Bitu's plan to usurp the throne would indeed be perfect.

Of course, the one who was sacrificed was Xia Bitu himself.

Exchanging one life for two lives, especially the life of my own son, it’s so worth it!

Xia Bitu was not worried that the five princes would succeed, because once the empress found out, she would definitely do her utmost to protect them.

However, he had to let the fifth prince assassinate the twins so that the scene would be realistic.

Qin Zheng prefers the latter.

Therefore, the content of his secret letter was for Xia Bitu to see, not for the empress, because Qin Zheng concluded that the secret letter would not reach the imperial capital and would not reach the hands of the empress.

"It's just that Xia Bitu knew I had another trump card, that even with 300,000 soldiers, they'd be nothing but cannon fodder, yet he still took action. It must be time for him to use his ultimate trump card. And he's definitely prepared!" Qin Zheng muttered. He was sorting things out, analyzing them. He was afraid of any omissions.

The Empress's true trump card is the Imperial Guards, also known as the Imperial Guards, a group of supremely skilled warriors dedicated solely to protecting the Xia Emperor. For Xia Bitu to dare to take action, he must have cultivated a group of warriors. They must either outnumber the Imperial Guards or possess higher martial arts prowess.

However, if the Grand Elder of the Five Elements Sect takes action, everything can be solved.

The old fox dared to take action, and he was determined to die. If he failed, he would die.

He is indeed an old fox. If he doesn't take action, it's fine. But when he does, his attack will be impeccable.

He avenged his father and preserved his bloodline at the same time. This plan was quite brilliant.

Qin Zheng started from the initial investigation, verification, analysis, and unraveling.

He was sure that this was the case.

Qin Zheng could only feel regret over the ending of Ningguta.

No matter what the purpose of the Fifth Prince and the Fourth Princess was, the Ningguta's Changsheng Sect harmed people, and the hoarding of grain in Fenghua City killed countless lives, so they should be killed!

They can rebel, but they cannot kill the lives of the people.

Although Empress Xia Mochu would not oppress the people, she was indecisive and lacked the talent to govern the country. It was time for her to abdicate and let someone more capable take over.

Hongtong County will also develop her antidote.

Mo Ning didn't want to be emperor, but he had to.

Qin Zheng was worried because he was too far away from the imperial capital. Remote control was bound to lead to omissions.

He was worried that the empress would not listen to his advice, and that the eunuch An Dehai's loyalty would lead to bad things.

If Xia Bitu wants to succeed with the twins, the Empress will be a major threat. After all, the throne isn't something you can just give up to anyone; it's not like a child's game. Therefore, only if the Empress dies will the plan truly succeed!

But killing the empress is definitely not easy.

Qin Zheng was certain that Yuan Shiqing was absolutely loyal to the Empress, but apart from his loyalty to the royal family, he was also loyal to Xia Mo Ning. His loyalty to Xia Mo Ning even surpassed his loyalty to the Empress, Xia Mo Chu.

This is an emotional factor.

But no matter what, Yuan Shiqing would not do anything bad to Empress Xia Mochu.

The eunuch An Dehai is too suspicious and likes to be clever, but he is also absolutely loyal.

If he had any second thoughts, he could have replaced Empress Xia Mochu long ago.

As for Li Qiuhan, he almost died for the empress, and his loyalty is evident.

That time when Li Qiuhan was protecting the emperor, he was indeed going to die. Without the medical skills of Hongtong County, he would have died.

Li Qiuhan wasn't a fortune teller, and he couldn't predict that he would be saved. So, he wasn't faking it that time. If he had second thoughts, why would he risk his life to gain trust? If he died, his goal would be defeated.

That eliminates the suspicions of the three people who are closest to the empress.

There is another person who can get close to the empress, the Grand Tutor Wei Xuelin.

Back then, Old Man Wei was just an old scholar obsessed with academics, so he can also be excluded.

Then, who else can get close to the empress?

Don't get close to killing Xia Mochu.

However, if Xia Bitu's plan was not killed, the empress Xia Mochu would only be half successful, not completely successful.

What will the old fox do?

Send an expert into the palace to assassinate?

An Dehai and those palace guards, imperial guards, imperial guards, and Jinyiwei together form a tight net, and after the last incident, the protection measures must have been even stricter, so the chances of success are not high.

Because before Qin Zheng left the imperial capital, the Grand Elder of the Five Elements Sect had already entered the imperial capital... His mission was to protect the empress.

In this case, unless the masters cultivated by Xia Bitu are stronger than the masters of the Five Elements Sect.

However, the Wujie Palace controls the world. If Xia Bitu really has such a group of masters, the Wujie Palace would not be unaware of it.

At this moment, Qin Zheng already had the answer in his heart.

It would not be Ningguta who took Xia Mochu's life, but it was definitely not Xia Bitu either.

But, Andehai.

All Xia Bitu had to do was add fuel to the fire and stop Qin Zheng from taking action.

Given the hatred between Ningguta and the late emperor, Xia Tianjiao and Xia Jinzhong must be killed, even if there is only a hint of suspicion that they are the crown prince.

The Fifth Prince doesn’t care whose bloodline the twins are from. Even if they are of Xia Bitu’s bloodline, he will kill them!

Xia Bitu was out of control. According to the principles of the Five Princes, how could they really let Xia Bitu go? So even if he was killed by mistake, he had to be killed!

An Dehai was self-righteous and accustomed to the empress's indulgence. As long as Xia Bitu showed signs of rebellion and attacked the imperial capital, he would definitely kill Xia Jinzhong and Xia Tianjiao, the two uncertainties, even if the empress disagreed!

In this way, even if Xia Bitu succeeded in his rebellion, he would have no successor.

Even if he knew that the twins were the sons of the previous emperor, An Dehai would still kill them.

Qin Zheng had long seen that An Dehai was the one who most wanted Xia Mochu to remain emperor forever.

Only if An Dehai takes action can Xia Mochu be forced to death.

As long as Xia Tianjiao and Xia Jinzhong were dead, and it was An Dehai who killed them, Xia Mochu, who didn't know the truth, would definitely think that he had killed his half-brother, and the only way he could atone for his crime was to die...

Qin Zheng was sweating just thinking about it now. Since the old fox wanted to use this strategy, it was obvious that he had been planning it for a long time.

Presumably, the news that the Fifth Prince went to the imperial capital must have been deliberately leaked by the old fox.

The old fox knew that Qin Zheng had a secret method to transmit information, but he didn't know what it was. But why didn't such a shameless old fox spend money to buy his secret method? Even if it wouldn't work, he shouldn't have ignored it, right?

There was only one possibility, the old fox guessed that it was a pigeon that delivered the message.

So, now, his carrier pigeons will definitely not be able to fly out of the town.

Moreover, Qin Zheng suddenly felt cold.

It seemed that he had indeed overlooked an important move, that is, in order to prevent the empress from apologizing with her death, An Dehai had only one way, he would die and apologize!

Moreover, Xia Mo Ning had to be killed. Because only by doing it completely could Xia Mo Chu not die, because if she died, Daqian would be without an emperor, and the surname Xia would no longer exist.

And Xia Bitu would not fail to think that if he wanted the empress to believe that the twins were the sons of the late emperor, there must be a token. This old fox would not ignore this. This world does not have the technology to identify relatives, and they believe in tokens more.

In this way, the empress will be certain.

Xia Bitu's goal was to force Andehai to death, and also to force the empress to death.

Yes, Xia Bitu wanted Qin Zheng to think so too.

If these two people were really Xia Bitu's biological children, how could he bear to let others kill them?

True and false, false and true.

In this way, the possibility that Xia Jinzhong and Xia Tianjiao are the sons of the late emperor is even greater.

Even Qin Zheng is still uncertain!

Now, the key person is An Dehai, he must know the inside story.

If you don't know the inside story, the old fox might really win this game.

Qin Zheng suddenly strode out of the room.

He must leave the town and return to the imperial capital as soon as possible. Perhaps he can change the situation!
