Chapter 340 Identity Exposed
"I happened to hear the guards say that day."
"Oh? Really?" He Jingheng smiled: "But didn't the guard say 'Lord Zheng was kidnapped'? When did he say he was kidnapped by snow bandits?"
what?
He Jingheng's eyes were cold: "I wonder where did Third Uncle hear about the fact that Lord Zheng was kidnapped by the snow bandits."
"I, I'm just guessing." He was a little flustered: "In this exile land, only the Snow Bandits would do such a thing."
"is it?"
At this moment, the door of the study was pushed open, and Shang Ruoyi's figure appeared at the door, with Ling Feng following behind her.
"Did Third Uncle guess it, or did he get the news from somewhere?"
He Zhiyuan's eyes darkened slightly: "What do you mean by that?"
"Only people in the imperial court would say that Lord Zheng was abducted by the snow bandits." Because all the guards in the mansion knew that the snow bandits were her people, and her people would be tacitly regarded by them as their own people.
Moreover, He Jingheng deliberately spread the news of Zheng Qi's abduction just to see whether the spies in the mansion would take any action.
He originally wanted to go fishing, but he didn't expect to catch his third uncle.
"I don't understand what you are talking about." He Zhiyuan said coldly: "If you don't want to say it, then forget it." He stood up and turned to leave.
Shang Ruoyi moved slightly and blocked the door.
"What are you doing?" He looked at He Jingheng angrily: "Jingheng, I am your elder after all. Your daughter-in-law is so rude to the elders, and you don't care about it."
He Jingheng leaned back in his chair, and raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Third Uncle, I doubted everyone in the mansion, but I never doubted you."
He stood up, his eyes slightly cold: "I never thought that this spy would be you."
"What spy? Jing Heng, what are you talking about?"
"After lurking in the palace for so many years, Uncle San's acting skills must have reached perfection!"
"Third Uncle." Shang Ruoyi took out the token and held it in front of him: "Do you know what this is?"
"The token of the Ding Kingdom's palace." He Zhiyuan said in a deep voice: "Why are you asking this?"
"Where is Third Uncle's token?"
He Zhiyuan snorted coldly: "I didn't have time to take it out during the previous house search."
"Really?" Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "It's not that they didn't have time to take it during the house search, but that it was lost a long time ago!"
He Zhiyuan's pupils shrank slightly: "What did you say?"
"I said, Third Uncle's token was left there when he went to exterminate the Ling family." She held the token in front of him: "This is your token."
"You are talking nonsense! What Ling family? What extermination? Stop slandering people!"
"It seems that Uncle San doesn't know the secret hidden in this token."
"What do you mean?"
Shang Ruoyi moved her fingers slightly, and with a "click" sound, a tiny tag fell out of the token and landed at Ling Feng's feet.
The three words "He Zhiyuan" were clearly written on the small sign.
At that moment, he didn't know how to describe his feelings.
He Zhiyuan looked at the small sign and his pupils trembled.
This, how is this possible?
Shang Ruoyi took out another token, which also contained a small sign with He Jingheng's name written on it.
"I guess this little trick was hidden in it when the token was made, but none of you noticed it." When she got the token, she felt that there seemed to be a hollow space inside, so she used her ability of perspective to take a look.
I didn’t expect to see the words on the small sign inside.
She never expected that the third uncle who seemed to be unable to carry anything in their eyes was actually a spy planted by Emperor Tianshun in the Dingguo Palace.
He is also the culprit who wiped out the Ling family.
Seeing that he couldn't deny it, He Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes, and the dagger in his hand flashed, and he stabbed towards Shang Ruoyi.
Shang Ruoyi sneered, drew out her dagger and started fighting with him.
He Jingheng frowned, flew forward, and swung his palm, hitting him directly on the back.
"Puff!" A mouthful of blood spurted out.
He Zhiyuan fell to the ground.
Just then, the sound of fighting attracted He Yunyi.
"What happened?"
"Miss, please don't go over there." Yunqi said in a low voice.
Just then, something unexpected happened.
He Zhiyuan threw a fire bomb, and the dazzling light made everyone unable to open their eyes.
"Ah!" Only a scream was heard.
A dagger was placed on He Yunyi's neck.
The dagger was extremely sharp, leaving a bloody mark as soon as it touched the skin on her neck.
Bright red blood was flowing.
"Third Uncle." He Yunyi said in disbelief: "I am Yunyi! Third Uncle!"
"Shut up." He Zhiyuan's chest heaved violently.
There was a trace of blood on the corner of his lips, and he said angrily: "If you dare to come forward, I will kill her!"
"Uncle Three."
"Shut up!" He Zhiyuan shouted, "I told you to shut up, do you understand?"
He Yunyi was so scared that she was stunned. How could her third uncle, who usually loved her, become like this?
Everyone rushed over after hearing the noise. The old princess was terrified and trembling, she said, "Zhiyuan, what are you doing? She is Yunyi! What are you crazy about?"
"Yunyi!" Qin said tremblingly, "Yunyi, how are you?"
"Husband." Lin looked at him in shock: "What's going on?"
He Jingxi protected Cong and the child behind him and whispered, "Dad, what happened?"
"Stand back! Everyone, stand back!" He Zhiyuan said angrily, "No one should come forward, or I will cut her neck with a knife."
Lin started to cry at this time: "Husband, have you lost your mind? What on earth is going on?"
He Zhiyuan looked at He Jingheng and sneered: "When I did these things back then, I had already guessed that this day would come, but I didn't expect that this day would come so soon."
"Why?" He Jingheng said coldly: "You also have the blood of the Dingguo Palace flowing in your body, why do you do these things?"
"Oh." He Zhiyuan sneered, "Yes, we are both descendants of the Ding Palace. Why can He Yuwen inherit the throne, while I can only be a prince without any power or status? I am also a legitimate son! Is it because he was born earlier than me?" He looked at the old princess and said angrily, "Mother, and you, my second brother is not your biological son, so am I not either? Why can't I be the Ding Prince?"
The old princess burst into tears: "Zhiyuan, listen to your mother and put the knife down."
Let go? He snorted coldly: "Do you think I can turn back now?" The dagger in his hand got closer to He Yunyi's neck: "Today, either you let me go, or let her be buried with me!"
He Jingheng said in a cold voice: "I will not let you go. Five years ago, you copied the wartime geomancy map, which caused tens of thousands of soldiers to be buried in Qijing Pass. I wonder if Uncle San was killed by those tragically dead soldiers in his dreams at midnight."
