At dawn, the palace.

The king of the country, Shang Zhen, was hurriedly woken up by his close servants.

Originally, when he was sleeping soundly, there was nothing big about it, and the servants usually dared not disturb him. However, the person came to report that Jin Ling, the hero of the former prince Zheng, openly killed the king Qi Shangcan and many lives of this dynasty on the streets of the Kingdom.

It was important to Jin Ling, which Shang Zhen once advised him and must be reported in time. Therefore, the close servant still took the courage to wake him up.

After briefly listening to the report of the incident, he took off and went to the lobby of the lord's mansion in Jinhua City with the second prince Shang Yu, who is currently assisting in the supervision of the government.

When he learned of his arrival, the city lord Nanwang Shangtuo and the deputy city lord Feng Yuandao came to greet him.

"Where is Jin Ling?" Shang Zhen asked.

"Go back to Your Majesty, he has been locked up in the City Lord's Mansion for killing Shang Can and many soldiers of the city guards." Feng Yuandao said the interrogation after saying.

"I already know the matter." Shang Zhen waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about why Gao Wenmin gathered in Jinyuan late at night. Shang Can led his troops to siege and kill senior officials of the Kingdom, claiming that Jinyuan rebelled, this matter was wrong. Jin Ling took action to protect Gao Wenmin and protect himself. Let him let go."

"Your Majesty, are you letting go?" Shang Tuo suspected that he had heard it wrong, "That boy, I killed my Shang family's children!"

"Father!" Shang Yu also hurried forward and said, "This Jin Ling's ambition is obvious, and Shang Liang has also died at the hands of this man! This is the first time since the founding of our country that a child surnamed Shang died at the hands of a person surnamed Jin! Jinyuan is powerful, and people surnamed Jin cannot stay!"

"Hmph!" Shang Zhen glanced at him coldly, "The deaths of Shang Liang and Shang Can are all caused by their own fault! They took the initiative to provoke Jinyuan, can't let others stand dead? It's fine if Shang Liang was fine, Shang Can actually lead his troops to privately arrest and kill the Minister of the Kingdom and the Minister of War! This is a conspiracy! He dares to claim that Jinyuan is treason!"

Shang Yu and Shang Tuo were all at once and speechless.

"Jin Ling is a hero of the kingdom and a disciple of Shanhai Sect. He has made great contributions to the kingdom's conquest of the three barbarians." Shang Zhen's tone was a little slow, "And he is also my savior. I know that you have been targeting him for many years, and the reason why you don't speak is to see if his original heart is truly loyal to my Shang family. Now, you have become more and more aggressive and have begun to apply rebellion to him! Once this set of remarks is released, will we and Jinyuan still have a place to ease?"

"If there is no, there is no!" Shang Tuo said, "Now Jinyuan is rich enough to rival a country, and it has powerful firearms and fire thunders. It has a combat-reading army, and it has great reputation among the four million people in the kingdom. To be honest, judging from the news I have received, the people in the kingdom have a lot of speculation about Jinyuan, and many people even believe that Jinyuan, represented by Jinling, will eventually replace our Shang family!"

As soon as he said this, Shang Zhen's face suddenly turned dark. This was of course the question he was most worried about. Now, he wanted to use Jinyuan to expand territory and gain wealth for himself, but he was also afraid that Jinyuan would be powerful and beyond the control of Shang's family. If it weren't for this, over the years, wouldn't he tolerate Shang Yu constantly making small moves on Jinyuan in private?

"Let the person go." Shang Zhen said.

"Your Majesty, you have thought about it." Shang Tuo said sinisterly, "This time I don't take the opportunity to uproot his Jinyuan. It will be even more difficult to deal with them in the future."

"Let me go." Shang Zhen said. In fact, he didn't know that the great power of Jinyuan was threatening the royal power. However, under the current situation, Jin Ling could not move. The immortal lord of the Eternal Night Empire was personally awarded the title, a disciple of Shanhai Sect, an immortal general-level strongman, Jinyuan's powerful financial resources, and an army that can quickly move... The kingdom really wanted to tear his face to fight him, of course, it could eliminate this emerging power before the momentum became.

However, in that case, if both sides suffer, the kingdom will be greatly damaged, and the Shang family's throne will also be unstable.

"Yes." Seeing that he insisted so much, the people in the execution hall did not dare to say more. After a while, Feng Yuandao and Jin Ling came out of the execution prison and met Shang Zhen.

"Why is Your Majesty here?" Jin Ling stepped forward and asked.

"Sir Jin, you are different from the past. How could I not come and see if something big happened?" Shang Zhen said jokingly.

"It is the fault of my minister to make His Majesty worry." Jin Ling could only look respectful on the surface.

"Father." Qing Han jumped out from the side and shook Shang Zhen's arm. "This is not my brother's fault at all. Shang Can leads his troops and first arrests Minister Gao, and then slanders my brother for treason. Rebellion is a serious crime of raiding the family and extermination of the clan! Who can calm down when facing such accusations? Your Majesty, think, if my brother wants to rebel, why did he treat your poison at the beginning? When the imperial doctor is helpless, he just doesn't take action and let you get sick?"

"What's more, if you talk about treason, it shouldn't be my brother. It was the person who poisoned you. That person was called treason!"

After hearing Qing Han's words, Shang Zhen's face eased. When he remembered the tragic situation he had after being infected with the poison, he couldn't help but snorted heavily.

"Wu Dapeng, the chief guard who poisoned the Gu, had already died." Shang Tuo said, "He took away a lot of money from the royal family. His motive for poisoning our king was not to rebellion, but to be greedy for money."

"He is just a general manager of the guards. How can he withstand such a high-level poison? Behind him, someone will inevitably instruct him!" Qing Han said decisively.

These words shocked everyone inside and outside the lobby of the Ministry of Justice.

That's right, it was really shocking.

Many years have passed since Wu Dapeng poisoned Shang Zhen. Many people speculated that there was another commander behind him, because with his ability as a general manager of the Great Inspector, and his whereabouts were mostly noticed, he rarely left the palace to move around, so it was very difficult to get this poison from a foreign land. Therefore, some people privately speculated that it was the second prince Shang Yu who colluded with the Xueyin clan to get the throne and instructed Wu Dapeng to do this. However, although these words were popular, there was no evidence. In addition, Shang Yu repeatedly expressed his loyalty to Shang Zhen, so these rumors were finally left unresolved.

As time went by, many years passed, everyone forgot about this matter. Unexpectedly, on this occasion, Qinghan clearly mentioned the old things again and said that there was an instructor behind the matter.

Of course, Qinghan also knew that this topic was too sensitive, so in order to get Shang Zhen and others to take their attention from Jin Ling's killing Shang Can, he brought it up.

These words made Shang Yu and Shang Tuo sweat directly.
