Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

Chapter 1336

"Zhou Lixuan and Fan Songde...!!"

"Weren't those two already killed? Their bodies were dumped in a mass grave on the outskirts of the city and thoroughly examined!"

"Why...why are you in this prison, looking like a dead man?"

"What exactly went wrong in all of this???"

"Regardless of what unknown twists and turns lie ahead, since they are here, and have clearly endured considerable torture... could it be that Beiping, the master, and the others have also been exposed to the young emperor?"

"How much does the young emperor already know?"

Indeed, the two "dirty rags" locked in this cell, tortured beyond recognition, are none other than the two undercover agents who were arrested earlier—Zhou Lixuan and Fan Songde.

Wang Chen and Luo Hongzhi stared wide-eyed at the person inside, goosebumps rising all over their bodies, and a chill running down their spines.

Shock, fear, doubt, confusion, apprehension, anxiety, trepidation...

Overwhelmed by incredibly complex emotions, countless thoughts surged up, almost causing their minds to shut down.

Of course, Wang Chen and Luo Hongzhi were not the only ones who saw ghosts at this time. Marquis Heqing Zhang Yi, Marquis Zhulu Zhu Shou, Marquis Huaiyuan Cao Xing, who were being escorted inside together, also saw ghosts.

"Hiss... Zhou Lixuan and Fan Songde, those two beasts?"

"Didn't they disappear to who-knows-where a long time ago? Back then, their sweet talk and flattery made me lose face in front of everyone... By the time I finally realized what was happening, they were nowhere to be found..."

"No... Now that I think about it, they were right! If we had listened to his incitement back then and started an uprising earlier, how could we have suffered such humiliation at the hands of that beast Zhao Feng and endured this calamity?"

Upon seeing Zhou Lixuan and Fan Songde, Zhang Yi, Zhu Shou, and Cao Xing all wore strange expressions—shock and surprise mixed with regret.

Thinking back to that time.

On the painted boats along the Qinhuai River, he met two "drinking buddies" who were kindred spirits. These two men repeatedly advised him to be wary of the young emperor and even tried to persuade Lan Yu and others.

Unfortunately, he was blinded by evil and abandoned his scheming thoughts, thinking that the little brat in Qianqing Palace couldn't cause any trouble and that he would always be loyal to them. In the end, he missed his chance and even wanted to kill the two people.

At that time, due to Zhu Yunwen's actions, Zhang Yi, Zhu Shou, and Cao Xing thought the person had run away, while Daoyan the monk thought the person was dead.

While Zhang Yi, Cao Xing, Zhu Shou, Wang Chen, and Luo Hongzhi were still stunned by this sudden turn of events.

Zhao Feng, however, smiled in a cryptic smile.

With his hands behind his back, he carefully observed the expressions and gazes of Wang Chen and Luo Hongzhi. Even the most well-trained person, already burdened with immense unease and anxiety, would find it impossible to conceal their subconscious reaction to suddenly seeing a ghost.

This is precisely why Zhao Feng suddenly changed his mind and deliberately brought the two of them here.

So it is.

Even though Wang Chen and Luo Hongzhi tried their best to control their expressions and hide the turbulent emotions surging within them...

Zhao Feng already had a clear idea of ​​what was going on:

"These two strange people... they really are connected to the Beiping Prefecture!"

"I'm afraid their purpose in appearing at the Duke of Liang's residence today is the same as Zhou Lixuan's and Fan Songde's—to stir up trouble among the nobles of Huaixi and throw the entire Yingtian Prefecture into chaos!"

"Or you could say they've actually succeeded!"

"Hiss... That Prince Yan of Beiping and his chief monk, Daoyan... they really went to great lengths and schemes. Once wasn't enough, they're doing it again! Even though they're far away in Beiping, they managed to find an opportunity to manipulate things in Yingtian Prefecture! They're hitting the weak points of the Huaixi nobles!"
