Chapter 164 Goodbye, Your Majesty! Intensive Investigation!
Zhang Fan had barely finished speaking.
The armored soldiers of the Black Ice Guard scattered, ready to carry out the order.
However, at this very moment...
Zhang Fan suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes, his whole body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground.
"Immortal Master!"
The leader standing beside him reacted quickly and caught him.
How are you feeling?
"fine."
Zhang Fan waved his hand, took a deep breath, and steadied himself.
He knows his own body well, even though the injected serum (antive serum) can neutralize the toxin molecules in his blood!
It prevents further damage to body tissues, but this does not mean that the damage to the body can be repaired instantly.
Whether it's snake venom or those mixed plant toxins, before they are neutralized, they have already caused a considerable burden and microscopic damage to his nervous system and organ cells.
The body needs time to repair these damaged cells and eliminate metabolic waste!
This process will naturally lead to aftereffects such as weakness and dizziness.
"His Majesty has been waiting in the palace for quite some time!"
The leader of the Black Ice Platform said in a deep voice, "This place is stained with blood, Immortal Master, please move aside."
Zhang Fan nodded, no longer trying to be brave.
He strode out of the Wu residence gate!
Before him, squads of armored soldiers from the Black Ice Guard were bypassing him and continuously pouring into the mansion.
……
Night had fallen. In the study of Xianyang Palace.
The candlelight burned quietly, casting Ying Zheng's shadow on the wall, making him appear exceptionally tall.
When Zhang Fan entered the study.
Ying Zheng raised his head, his gaze falling on the man's slightly pale face, and his brows gradually furrowed.
"Zhang Fan, kid!"
Ying Zheng's voice was deep and powerful, "I have done as you said, and made the Black Ice Guard under your command."
"Now, tell me, what is your next move?"
"Don't worry, Brother Zheng!"
Zhang Fan walked to the desk, a tired smile on his face.
Without saying much, he handed over his phone and opened the video.
Ying Zheng took the phone and looked curiously at the clear image on the screen.
When the conversation between "Wu Liang" and "Luo Lang" about their plot to rebel was played in the video.
Ying Zheng's face instantly turned ashen, and his fingers gripping the phone so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
"Excellent! Excellent Wu family! Excellent Luo Lang!"
Ying Zheng slammed his fist on the table, his anger blazing.
"I will go and behead these two traitors right now!"
Look at Ying Zheng's furious expression!
After thinking about it, Zhang Fan decided to tell the truth.
He spoke softly, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"
"Actually... this video is fake."
"What?"
Ying Zheng's anger froze instantly!
He suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with astonishment as he looked at Zhang Fan, which then became extremely strange.
He is not a fool.
He instantly understood what this meant.
Although Wu Liang deserved to die, he did so!
But someone in the future created such realistic evidence to frame Wu Liang!
Does that mean he can frame whoever he wants in the future?
Even one's most trusted advisors may be rendered speechless in the face of such "ironclad evidence"!
This power is terrifying!
The atmosphere in the study instantly became subtle.
Zhang Fan also noticed the change in Ying Zheng's eyes and felt somewhat embarrassed.
He quickly bowed and explained, "Your Majesty, although this method goes against common sense!"
"But extraordinary people require extraordinary methods!"
"My heart is as clear as the sun and moon; I will always be loyal to Your Majesty!"
Ying Zheng stared at him for a long time, the strange expression on his face gradually disappearing, finally turning into a cold snort.
"Very well! I don't care about the process, I only care about the result!"
As he spoke, the corners of his tightly pressed lips couldn't help but turn up slightly, revealing a hint of a relieved smile.
This kid is ruthless, decisive, and smart!
"Now, can you tell me exactly what you want to do?"
Zhang Fan nodded, his expression turning serious:
"Brother Zheng, although there's 'ironclad evidence' of the Wu family's downfall this time!"
"But this will inevitably cause panic and fear among other powerful families, who will band together to protect themselves."
"Therefore, this case must not be decided solely in the imperial court; it must be made public!"
"Let the world know of Wu Liang's crimes: colluding with Feng Jing, the governor of Shangdang, disregarding human life, trafficking children, and assassinating the immortal master!"
"Let the people of the world know just how much of a parasite on the nation the Wu family truly is!"
A cold glint flashed in Zhang Fan's eyes:
"Those powerful clans can withstand His Majesty's thunderous pressure, but they cannot withstand the public outcry and condemnation of the people!"
"Once public opinion takes hold, they will distance themselves from the Wu family as quickly as possible in order to protect themselves."
"In this way, we have divided them!"
"Next, anyone who disagrees will be forced to submit! One by one!"
Ying Zheng listened quietly, watching Zhang Fan's ruthlessness and domineering nature, his eyes filled with approval.
He never expected that this kid would mature so quickly after experiencing a life-or-death crisis!
This decisiveness and ruthlessness are somewhat reminiscent of my younger self.
wrong!
What are you thinking about?
Ying Zheng shook his head, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice:
"Very well! I grant your permission! We'll do as you say!"
"Go ahead and do it! Within Xianyang City, I give you the highest authority!"
Just then, a series of footsteps broke the silence in the study.
A Black Ice Guard soldier knelt on one knee at the doorway, his voice steady.
"Your Majesty, Immortal Master! The Wu residence has been searched more than halfway."
Armored soldiers report:
"The mansion was filled with mountains of gold and jewels; the sheer amount was astonishing!"
"According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, the mere fact that he embezzled money is enough to warrant the execution of his entire family. However..."
The armored soldier paused, then continued:
"No letters or artifacts were found that directly relate to Wu Liang's affairs with Shangdang County."
Ying Zheng's gaze instantly turned cold.
He leaned back slowly in his chair, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table.
"Hmph, they're quite cautious."
He snorted coldly and turned his gaze to Zhang Fan beside him.
"Even the Black Ice Police couldn't find direct evidence. This old fox has been hiding his true colors well!"
"Zhang Fan, what do you think?"
Zhang Fan was disappointed and did not answer immediately.
He pondered for a moment, then calmly asked:
"Have the servants and family members of the Wu family been interrogated yet?"
The armored soldiers on the Black Ice Platform shook their heads:
Not yet!
"We are currently concentrating our manpower to inventory the assets and secure evidence of corruption."
Zhang Fan's gaze sharpened, and he continued:
"Investigate thoroughly! Investigate all servants and laborers of the Wu family!"
"Especially those concubines and maids who were taken into Wu Liang's household, especially those women who had not yet reached marriageable age!"
"Isolate them all for investigation and questioning!"
Upon hearing this, even Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction.
As he spoke, Zhang Fan cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Ying Zheng, his eyes filled with determination.
"Your Majesty, this matter is of utmost importance, concerning the exoneration of countless innocent souls in Shangdang County!"
"Your Majesty, I wish to go there in person; perhaps we can find a breakthrough more quickly."
Ying Zheng looked at his resolute expression and slowly nodded.
"Granted. Go ahead."
"Your Majesty, I take my leave!"
