Mrs. Zhou was an excellent mistress. She arranged a delicious meal and resolved the apparent conflict provoked by Meng Da.

After eating and drinking, Lord Xu saw that Zhou Lin didn't seem to be ready to go out to the streets to look for someone.

Thinking about his confident attitude before, I quietly asked him:

"General, do you have any idea now?"

Zhou Lin glanced at the people except the prince, with caution and suspicion.

Pulling some distance between himself and Master Xu, Zhou Lin said, "Before tomorrow, Master, it would be better for you to stay away from me."

"Don't worry about this matter. You will see the result tomorrow."

Zhou Lin’s sharp eyes made Xu Zhong a little overwhelmed.

"What's that look in your eyes? Are you doubting me?"

His voice was neither too loud nor too low, and everyone present heard it and looked over at him.

[The remnant of the previous dynasty is Lord Xu? Impossible. 】

[Although this old man likes to fart in public and has a straightforward personality, he doesn’t have the wisdom. ]

[He is a person who would not accept money even if he offered it to others, so the position of Imperial Censor is the only one that suits him.]

Xu Zhong looked at Ye Shengxin fiercely, his old face turning red with shame.

What does it mean that he likes to fart in public?

What do you mean he doesn't have that wisdom?

What do you mean no one wants him even if he gives you money?

If I had known what Ye Shengxin was doing, I would not have helped her.

The prince suppressed his twitching mouth, seized this opportunity, set the stage for Ye Xingxin, and asked Zhou Lin:

"Who do you think the remnant of the previous dynasty is, General Zhou?"

Zhou Lin responded swiftly: "I think this man wants to overthrow the Zhou Kingdom. If he weren't for the person who hides among the people and knows all kinds of information,

"Or he is in a high position and can get in touch with the dignitaries of our Zhou country."

"With Lord Ye as my partner, I am inclined to the second option based on the clues I have."

"This person must be someone that both the prince and I are familiar with."

After Zhou Lin finished speaking, someone's hand hidden in his sleeve clenched, and then slowly loosened after a moment.

He continued to listen to Zhou Lin's analysis without changing his expression.

He wanted to see if he could find him out while he was standing right in front of him.

Thinking of this, I rubbed my fingers unconsciously.

A secret sense of excitement and thrill washed over him, making him look exceptionally radiant.

"Who knows, this person may be among us."

Zhou Lin said the last sentence with a smile, and the ministers who understood it all gasped.

Lord Zhang Liang suppressed his surprise and looked at Ye Shengxin.

He jokingly asked, "Who do you think this person is among us, Lord Ye?"

"Huh? I think?"

Ye Xingxin said cautiously: "Your subordinate... Your subordinate is stupid and doesn't know."

[Who is it? It's definitely not the prince. It won't be good for him to fight against his own family with the remnants of the previous dynasty.]

[Let's exclude Lord Xu who doesn't even want to be paid. 】

[Mr. Zhang’s words…]

Zhang Liang's heart was lifted.

[Earlier in the court, he dared to expose the fact that Xuanyuan Yu committed a crime and redressed the injustice of the people. He was not afraid of power.]

[They also come from the folks. Such people in the story are inspirational and positive characters. They should not be involved with the remnants of the previous dynasty. ]

【As for the others...】

Ye Shengxin looked at the remaining four people silently.

Except for Doctor Wang, the people who were not mentioned had their hearts pounding.

They felt like they had never been so nervous in their lives.

[Forget about General Zhou. He probably won't cry thief. ]

[Besides, the emperor has been on the throne for many years. He would not make a mistake in giving such an important position as the commander of the imperial guards to someone with ulterior motives.]

Zhou Lin breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at the remaining colleagues who were not mentioned.

[The remaining ones are the Prince's tutor Chunyu, General Meng, and Doctor Wang. I have not had much contact with these three people, so it is difficult to judge them.]

[But General Meng, who scolded me before, this person...]

Ye Shengxin sighed.

Everyone pricked up their ears: ...

Don't be so meaningful!

As it concerned his life and property, Meng Da, who was temporarily the protagonist, couldn't help but stand up and say a few words for himself.

I was afraid that Ye Shengxin would take revenge on me at this time.

But Zhou Lin on the left pressed down on his shoulders tightly, and the prince on the right stepped on the upper of his shoe.

How could he move?

We can only let Ye Shengxin do his best.

In the palace, Emperor Jingming, who was having a meal in the Queen's Palace, was a little nervous.

Could it be General Meng?

He felt it was nine out of ten times likely.

This man's grandfather was a traitorous general. Although he defected to the Zhou Kingdom, he sold out his country for profit. Even if the Zhou Kingdom benefited, people still couldn't like him.

He was always on guard against the Meng family.

[General Meng is impulsive and easily angered. He is probably not a remnant of the previous dynasty. He also doesn't want to be treated like a prostitute.]

[But he is easy to exploit, and he is also a general with military power. ]

[This is a valuable commodity that cannot be given up. If it is connected to the remnants of the previous dynasty, it will definitely be used by that person many times.]

Xu Zhong, the crown prince and Zhang Liang nodded as they listened.

This is true.

Emperor Jingming in the palace choked and met the Queen's confused gaze.

I can’t tell whether I am satisfied or dissatisfied with this result.

He put down the spoon in his hand; he had lost his appetite.

Just waiting for Ye Shengxin to swing the final blow at him.

At the General's Mansion, upon hearing the result, Meng Da felt a breath stuck in his throat and felt very uncomfortable.

But I am also a little relieved.

Fortunately, Ye Shengxin cleared him of suspicion given his sensitive identity.

The only two people left were his father-in-law and his benefactor.

This made it difficult for him to accept that the remnants of the previous dynasty were among them.

[The Prince's Tutor and the Imperial Physician are both important positions. If you insist on asking me which of them is the remnant of the previous dynasty, I can't tell you.]

[System, what do you think? ]

The system is in a dilemma: [Host, you know I am not as smart as you. You ask me, are you sure? ]

[Forget it, don't say it, it's just a hypothesis anyway, it's not important. ]

"No!" Zhou Lin was so anxious that he held Erkang's hand.

"What?" Ye Shengxin looked innocent.

【What is General Zhou talking about? 】

Xu Zhong pulled Zhou Lin's hand back and explained calmly:

"Nothing, I'm talking to General Zhou."

Ye Shengxin was very suspicious and was about to investigate further when a young eunuch ran over.

"Your Highness, there is news from the palace that the Thirteenth Princess fell off her horse."

The Thirteenth Princess is the daughter of Concubine Ning and has a very good relationship with the Crown Prince.

The prince was startled when he suddenly heard the news.

Before hurriedly leaving, he glanced at Ye Shengxin with a look of love and hate.

The remaining officials left one after another.

In the end, only Zhou Lin and Ye Shengxin were left staring at each other.

A bleak cold wind blew past, and Zhou Lin complained: "Master Ye, didn't you say that person would deliver himself to your door?"

“Now there’s no one left.”

Ye Xingxin: ...

Ye Shengxin finally understood why Zhou Lin didn't go out on the street today.

Thinking about the only half day left, Ye Shengxin swallowed back countless mmps.

I can only summarize it in one sentence: [There is definitely something seriously wrong with your brain. ]
