Chapter 446

Chapter 446: Chapter 320 Time for Reckoning (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_3
Unexpectedly, from her appearance until now, not only had she not been disturbed by his words, but she also revealed his selfish motives so methodically!
If Liang Ning’s resurrection made him feel an indescribable fear, then at this moment her cold and silent demeanor chilled him to the core!
Because he knew too well, when one can face love and hate so calmly, it means the time for reckoning has come!
"I’m the wife of the Great Zhou’s General Pingxi, why should I care about these things?" Fu Zhen slightly moved the tip of the sword that was stuck in the ground, "It’s precisely because you have ambition, the Crown Prince’s fratricide case fell into your hands, stimulating your desire for power completely.
"You thought you had captured a huge leverage, a bargaining chip for your machinations.
"So that night, you overturned your previous plans, unable to restrain yourself, and chose a new path for yourself.
"You plotted all these well, but unfortunately, your luck wasn’t that good."
Xu Yin gritted his teeth, "How did you know I already knew it was the Eldest Prince who died then?"
"Just by the fact that after my death, someone named Lian Rong appeared by your side whom I had never heard of."
Fu Zhen said, "In the tenth year of Shengyuan, not long after I saved you, Zhou Yi, the scholar from the Prince Yi Mansion, appeared in the Northwest Town, and then under the guise of a Tanzhou merchant, he brought you back to me. He came looking for you.
"If I’m not mistaken, your parents were killed in the northwest by people sent by the King of Dayue while you luckily escaped, but got separated from those with you.
"Zhou Yi inquired about you in the northwest and found you, but because of your parents’ deaths, you all became like startled birds. For survival, staying in the northwest barracks seemed safer, so Zhou Yi left after bringing you back.
"During those years, you were all very cautious, because not being cautious meant facing total annihilation. You were very careful, never contacting Zhou Yi again, but the assassination by the King of Dayue always hung over your head like a sword.
"You worked hard, studied diligently, and won a chance to enter the capital city and become an official of Great Zhou.
"Only this way could you gather enough strength to protect your life.
"Through the imperial examination, you gradually gathered the conditions to rally these people around you. Your grandfather’s old subordinates discovered your whereabouts and began to gather by your side.
"So Zhou Yi brought Lian Rong to you. The night the Baiyu Lane incident occurred, you must have had a secret meeting with Lian Rong.
"The details about the deceased’s identity must have been brought to you by your people. So you know very well what Mr. Ning had experienced. On the night you set the fire to burn me, you had more guards by your side to help, proving you had some power by then."
Fu Zhen recounted slowly, unhurriedly, as if telling a story.
Xu Yin’s face alternated between pale and ashen.
"So, you indeed have been to Tanzhou?"
"What else?" Fu Zhen looked at him, "Your fabricated identity is so flawless; was it you who made Xu Zhan disappear? Perhaps you’ve already killed him?"
Xu Yin swallowed twice, but did not speak.
Everything Fu Zhen said was more complete than he imagined, leaving him unsure of what her next step might be!
He turned his head to glance at the courtyard wall near the lane, but there was no movement outside yet; Lian Rong had not arrived.
He looked at Fu Zhen again; her eyes were deep and unfathomable.
Xu Yin bit his lower lip.
No matter what, he had to hold on until Lian Rong arrived.
As long as there was even a sliver of opportunity, he would not let it slip by!
He said, "Xu Zhan was a consultant for the Prince Yi Mansion."
Fu Zhen raised an eyebrow.
Xu Yin continued, "When my grandfather sent my father out of the Prince Yi Mansion, Master Xu also followed my father out.
"He is my adoptive father; I have always followed him growing up and he was also my first mentor. When we were exiled, he once took me to Tanzhou, and we stayed there for a while.
"It’s just that at that time, the Xu family’s house collapsed due to the war and was uninhabitable, so no one saw us.
"Later, he was caught by people sent by the King of Dayue along with my parents.
"From him, I learned the Tanzhou dialect, which also allowed me to assume the identity of Xu Yin."
At this, he could not help but glance again at the wall; Lian Rong should be arriving soon.
Once he arrived, they could concentrate their efforts to break through!
Fu Zhen had only used a few harmless tricks just now; such minor injuries wouldn’t stop his steps! He hadn’t reached a dead-end yet!
It indeed seemed that Fu Zhen didn’t notice his slight movements.
"If everything I just said is true, then, how did Lian Rong know that in the secretive Baiyu Lane incident, it was Yang Zhan who killed the Eldest Prince?"
Fu Zhen looked deeply at him, "In other words, why would you know about the Eldest Prince’s existence so early on?
"Did you ever come into contact with the Eldest Prince?"
Upon hearing this, a sharp light flashed in Xu Yin’s eyes.
Fu Zhen took two steps forward, stopping three feet away from him, looking down at him, "My grandfather, Mr. Ning, how did he really die?"
