After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen-Chapter 491 - 336 You Must Help Me with This Favor (Request for Monthly Ticket)_2

"He is in his early thirties, which matches the age. He is very tall, with a stern face, and speaks very little.

"Although I didn’t see any weapons on him, he practices martial arts and is very alert. As soon as he noticed us, he immediately left.

"Later, after much effort, we traced his movements and found him in Cangzhou.

"That was just last winter!"

At this point, Li Yi sipped some tea to moisten his throat, then calmly said, "This time we didn’t dare to act rashly. I have some businesses in Cangzhou, and since we found out he was temporarily staying there, I planned to use them to slowly approach him.

"Unexpectedly, before I could make a move, someone started keeping an eye on my business! After that, I found myself in a terrible situation.

"You know what happened later, my business was destroyed, and I was in a hurry to respond. By the time I realized and paid attention to this person again, he had already left without a trace!"

Fu Zhen had already sunk into thought, not catching up with the conversation.

Every word of Li Yi’s confirmed that the person he was pursuing was indeed Yang Yi!

Although it’s unclear why items belonging to him were found on the person who died in Baiyu Lane seven years ago, that person was definitely not him!

Only the tall, martial arts practicing person with a phoenix-shaped birthmark, as Li Yi described, matches the image of the Crown Prince Yang Yi who disappeared years ago!

But why did he appear in Tanzhou five years ago?

And why did he later appear in Cangzhou?

Why does he keep appearing in different places?

Seven years ago, he was supposed to enter the capital, but didn’t. Was it because he discovered the Crown Prince’s conspiracy in advance?

Then why did he decide to enter the capital seven years ago?

Since Mr. Ning explained in his letter to Mrs. Ning that this person could bring Fu Jia a brilliant future, his intention in entering the capital should have been to reunite with the Emperor and Empress. What changed his mind?

Even if he discovered the Crown Prince’s conspiracy then—no, if he indeed discovered it, he should have entered the palace to reveal it. Why didn’t he do so?

"Girl, no, General’s wife," Li Yi suddenly changed his address, "this old man has genuinely encountered difficulties. You must help me!"

His aged eyes revealed fear, an emotion not expected to appear in this savvy old man who operates in both legal and illicit worlds.

Fu Zhen said, "Even if you lose track of him, you can find him again. Encountering him twice shows you’ve figured out some methods. Why not try again?

"Even if you ultimately fail to find him, I believe the palace will not make things difficult for you. At most, you can return the three thousand taels of silver."

"It’s not that simple," Li Yi’s expression grew more serious, "We discovered some things at the person’s residence. Now we don’t know if he’s been kidnapped or is in some other danger. Regardless, something happened right under my nose, and I can’t bear this responsibility!"

"What did you discover?"

"There were traces of a struggle at his residence, a lot of blood on the bed, and we found some coins from Dayue!" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Coins from Dayue?"

Fu Zhen was stunned. It was already surprising that Yang Yi had been to the northwest during his disappearance; now it turns out he also carried Dayue coins, which might even prove he had been to Dayue or even lived there.

"There were quite a few coins in various sizes, along with some clothing of Dayue origin.

"I don’t know what connection this person has with the palace, but the condition of his room certainly involves me."

Indeed!

The incident involves the Crown Prince!

If the Empress learns that the Crown Prince didn’t die at the Crown Prince’s hands, but something happened under Li Yi’s watch while on a mission to find him, who related to the incident could benefit?

Fu Zhen pondered silently for a moment, then asked him, "Do you now know who those who set you up are?"

"I don’t know!"

"When was the last time they appeared?"

"Just a few months ago! Then they haven’t appeared again."

Fu Zhen rubbed his temples with his curved fingers.

This group, no doubt, can rule out the deposed Crown Prince. He firmly believes he killed Yang Yi six years ago, based on the evidence on the deceased, and has not doubted it.

The remaining suspects should only be those from the Emperor’s side or the Empress’s side, but neither would likely harm Yang Yi.

Moreover, since they had already found Yang Yi, there would be no need to send others to search for him again.
