Chapter 309

He could only pursue the small matters right in front of him.

Facing his father's questioning, Wang Ben only revealed a confused expression.

He naturally also saw the disappointment that could not be hidden in his father's eyes.

But no matter how he thought about this matter, he did not discover any other hidden story within it.

"Do you know that that night, His Majesty only let me, Meng Tian, and Li Si enter the palace?"

"This child knows."

"Do you know why His Majesty let the three of us enter the palace?"

Wang Jian asked again.

"Father, you, Meng Tian, and Li Si have always been highly valued by His Majesty."

"It is not surprising that His Majesty was critically ill and summoned the three of you into the palace."

Wang Ben said truthfully.

In his view, not only his father, but Li Si and Meng Tian had always been close ministers by Ying Zheng's side.

Wang Ben was also very happy that his father could be valued by Ying Zheng.

"Useless."

"Do you know that Li Si was the true mastermind who participated in the plan five years ago?"

"And he died in the palace. Do you really think it was just an assassin entering the palace to assassinate him, and he died at the assassin's hands?"

Wang Jian laughed out of extreme anger.

The teacup in his hand was heavily smashed onto the table by him.

The spinning teacup made Wang Ben's heart tremble as well.

He raised his eyes to look at his father.

"You..."

"You mean, Li Si's death is not simple."

Wang Ben immediately realized that there was a hidden story here that he did not know about.

The true mastermind from five years ago?

Why would that night be linked to the true mastermind from five years ago?

Thinking of this, Wang Ben's pupils contracted violently.

"That night, it was a trap set by His Majesty to lure the snake out of its hole."

"And His Majesty had long since discovered that Li Si had participated in that plan five years ago."

"Under heavy encirclement, he still let the two true masterminds who were flushed out escape."

Wang Jian simply narrated the events of that night.

Wang Ben swallowed involuntarily.

He did not expect that Ying Zheng's critical illness that night was just a setup.

And the people who entered the trap were the true masterminds who participated in that plan five years ago.

A hint of panic appeared in his eyes.

Why did this group of people have to be so obsessed with that plan from five years ago?

Young Master Mo died, so he died.

Why did a ghost appear to seek the truth of five years ago for him?

A hint of hatred and uncontrollable fear appeared in the depths of Wang Ben's eyes......

"Then why did he let Father, you, and General Meng Tian also enter the palace together?"

Wang Ben thought of this point.

"Hmph."

"That is because your father is also among the targets of His Majesty's suspicion."

Wang Jian directly and bluntly stated this point.

Hearing Wang Jian's words, the panic on Wang Ben's face could no longer be hidden.

"What are you panicking about?"

"Since I was able to return from the palace in one piece,"

"this proves that His Majesty does not currently have evidence to prove that I participated in that matter five years ago."

"Don't scare yourself."

Looking at his son's appearance, Wang Jian said directly with dissatisfaction.

He had spent his whole life on the battlefield, so naturally, he could not stand this.

The sons of his Wang family must be iron-willed.

Even if they encountered a massive problem, they would not show this kind of expression.

The panic in Wang Ben's heart faded slightly upon hearing these words from Wang Jian.

That's right.

If His Majesty really had evidence in his hands,

it would be absolutely impossible to let his father return from the palace so smoothly.

It was precisely because His Majesty had no evidence

that he did not attack them.

However, Wang Ben also knew at this time that His Majesty already suspected their Wang family.

His eyeballs rolled involuntarily.

Previously, he had agreed to cooperate with Donghuang Taiyi.

The condition was for Donghuang Taiyi to erase the traces of their Wang family from five years ago.

1.2 He did not know if Donghuang Taiyi had actually done it or not?

It seems it is time to go and investigate.

Wang Jian looked at his son who had fallen into deep thought.

He waved his hand and let him leave directly.

When only he was left in the study,

Wang Jian immediately took out a letter.

Then he wrote something on the paper with flying speed.

When the ink was dry, Wang Jian placed this letter into a bamboo tube.

The bamboo tube placed on the table soon disappeared from the room.

And Wang Jian's gaze slowly condensed in mid-air.

This period of time was truly an eventful autumn.

He only hoped that their Wang family could successfully escape from this vortex.

Thinking of the turbulent situation of the entire Great Qin in the future,

Wang Jian sighed deeply involuntarily.
