Chapter 978 Pulling out the Nail (2)
Fang Chen glanced at Bai Yichen and took a sip of tea.
When Chen Zihao received the news and walked in, he saw Fang Chen and Bai Yichen and sat in front of them. "Did you find the nail sent by my father?"
"The fourth and fifth brothers are interrogating!" Fang Chen nodded and poured a cup of tea for Chen Zihao.
"And there's the Fourth Prince's!" Bai Yichen said.
"It seems they have noticed it." Chen Zihao glanced at Fang Chen and said seriously.
"We can hold on!" Fang Chen drank his tea calmly. It didn't matter if they were discovered. They were not afraid of anyone.
No matter whether it is the Fourth Prince or the Second Prince, they are no longer the small border town that was at the mercy of others as they were in the beginning.
Now they are ready for battle, and as long as they can't attack, they will not have any problems.
Ji Xiaou has already filled the original food gap. The existing food is enough for the daily consumption of the entire Heyang City. There is a big harvest every three months and a small harvest every month. The planting times are staggered, so there can be a harvest every month.
The most scarce food problem has been solved. With the various industries covering all production and manufacturing, Heyang City has formed a food production chain.
"I just received news that the eldest prince has taken action." Chen Zihao took out the news from the capital and placed it in front of Fang Chen and Bai Yichen.
"Was it the Crown Prince or the Prime Minister?" Bai Yichen was stunned. The Crown Prince and the Prime Minister were not of the same mind.
"Crown Prince, the Imperial Guards have surrounded the Prime Minister's Residence." Chen Zihao said.
Fang Chen and Bai Yichen looked at each other. "Do you think he can take down your father?"
"Impossible." Chen Zihao laughed, "It's more likely that the Imperial Guards rebelled, but my father's cause was unknown and he couldn't stand his ground. The eldest prince openly led the army to surround them, not because he really wanted to take down my father, but to push him into the limelight."
"With four princes still alive, it will never be the turn of a prime minister to become emperor." Chen Zihao laughed, "He will never allow himself to be tarnished! For this reason, he will just be 'caught' obediently."
"So what does he want?" Bai Yichen glanced at Chen Zihao. He had the will but not the guts? He wanted to be the emperor and he wanted to be legitimate?
"Based on my understanding of him, the eldest prince can no longer be controlled. Since he can't be controlled, he is no longer needed." Chen Zihao thought for a while, "But there is another possibility..."
"The eldest prince's son?" Fang Chen said.
"Why am I not here? If I can't do it, I still have my son!" Bai Yichen patted himself. He didn't even think of this.
"It won't happen in a short time, right?" Bai Yichen raised his eyebrows. "Even if he starts now, it will take at least a year, right?"
"Use fake ones." Fang Chen and Chen Zihao looked at each other and said at the same time.
The three people present looked at each other in bewilderment. As soon as Xu Ziyang came in, he said to Fang Chen, "Brother, we found out that it was the Prime Minister's men. There were three others with him, but he didn't know where they were hiding."
"The other one also confessed. They were originally bandits and were recruited by the Fourth Prince. They robbed houses everywhere to gather information for the Fourth Prince. This time he was the vanguard and came here to find a place to settle down first. More people will come later." Xu Feng had also finished the interrogation.
"Brother, there is one more thing. They found out about my sister-in-law from somewhere, and one of their plans this time is to find out who she is." Xu Ziyang frowned and said. In addition to gathering information, they also wanted to kidnap Ji Xiaomu.
