Seeing the look of astonishment on Zhong Fu's face, the frostiness on Wen Yuye's face gradually disappeared, as if he had been relieved of a great burden. His gaze towards Zhong Fu also softened a bit, no longer as sharp as before.

Realizing that he had lost his composure, Zhong Fu immediately calmed down, "This happened just before the exam, so the entire capital's citizens have heard of it." Although the officials tried their best to keep it a secret and didn't dare to spread the news, but... You know that, how can an unhurried opening be blocked so easily! "

"You're trying to explain!" Wen Yuye touched the corner of his mouth. There was some dark red blood on his fingertips, and his lips were cracked by his teeth! Zhong Fu's slap just now was really ruthless. Now, Wen Yuye's mouth was filled with the taste of blood.

"Everyone knows about this. I'm not explaining it, I …"

"The authorities said it was suicide!" Wen Yuye narrowed his eyes, "But I don't believe it, even though my little brother is pedantic, he will not look down on himself. Even when there was a great drought in the North, he would never give up his life even if he lost contact with me. All his life, he had desired to become an official and seek for the welfare of the people of the world. Before that, he would never die on his own! " With that, Wen Yuye slowly stood up.

"You suspect him?" Zhong Fu curled his lips, "But the magistrate court …"

"The imperial government was afraid that the consequences would be too great. That's why it said it was committing suicide!" Wen Yuye narrowed his dangerous eyes and looked coldly at the people walking in and out of the window. "Otherwise, the Prime Minister wouldn't have sent people to find me so quickly. Could it be that he wanted me to collect the corpse?" Even though he was under the feet of the Emperor, he couldn't care so much about it. Before I came to the capital, I heard from the Prime Minister that this might involve a certain power. Even if we find out, the magistrate court would not dare to conduct the business! "

Wen Yuye paused, and then looked at Zhong Fu with an unwell expression, "Because of this, I left the Prime Minister's Palace, and went to the capital alone. I'd like to see what kind of power and power they are, to be able to get away with it after killing someone. A single suicide was a waste of an innocent life? Where is the logic in this? "

"You mean, involving nobility?" Zhong Fu's heart was trembling. He hadn't heard of anyone having any influence over the rich and powerful. Could it be … He had lost his wallet twice. The first time was because Dongfang Wenming, and the second time was when he just entered the capital. Zhong Fu felt a bit guilty. Dong Fuming and Ke Bo Li had spent a lot of effort to find him. Could it be that they suspected that he was the one who killed those two scholars?! There was no enmity between them, so why would they take it from him?

Could it be that the imperial government couldn't find the murderer and wanted to find a scapegoat? However, Zhong Fu's identity as the crown prince was the best shield. Zhong Fu suddenly came to a realization. He reckoned that he was an excuse for the imperial court to quell the public's anger!

"What, you know this powerful person in the capital?" Wen Yuye looked at him meaningfully.

Zhong Fu felt a little awkward, "I've not been in the capital for too long and I haven't been able to get a good understanding of the situation. How could I possibly know any powerful people in the capital? By the way, when are you going to collect your brother's corpse? And after the body? Home or... Stay? "

Wen Yuye sucked his lips. Half his face was badly swollen, but it was also in extreme pain. He touched his face. "What do you think?"

"I'm not a bug in your stomach, how would I know what you're thinking?" Zhong Fu took a deep breath. "But it would be for the best if you could stay. I think your brain is really good. Maybe you can find the murderer who killed your brother!"

"Isn't that you?" Wen Yuye said.

"How could I possibly kill him? I don't even know Wen Yufeng!" Chopper blurted out.

Just as he asked the shop owner for two cooked eggs, he heard this and immediately stood up straight like a hedgehog. He immediately rushed in front of Wen Yuye and stared at Zhong Fu with a guarded expression.

For a moment he didn't know what to say.

"Even you can't kill him!" Wen Yuye sighed lightly and pushed open the door. "There's no need."

He hurriedly handed the egg over and said, "Young master, I'll help you massage your face to go and get swollen!"

Wen Yuye reached out to take it, "I'll do it myself!" He looked at Chung Fu. "Don't want to say anything?"

"You're such a chicken thief! How could he be so deceitful?! Forget it, it's fine to tell you so that you won't suspect evil in the future. I, Zhong Fu, am the heir to the Duke's Mansion. We were born magnanimous. The case of the scholar being killed had nothing to do with me. I don't know why, but after these two murders, the Regent's Manor and the Prime Minister's Manor pursued me relentlessly. But it wasn't them that I met you. At that time, I was already captured by a bunch of mysterious people. "If I wasn't smart enough to catch an oxcart passing by, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get out!" Zhong Fu lightly sighed, "This is what happened!"

"Duke Ming Palace?" Wen Yuye's expression suddenly changed, but he quickly regained his composure, "No wonder the Regent's Estate and Prime Minister's Estate are looking for you! To enter the capital without a summons, do you know what this crime is? If someone were to visit your Duke Palace in the imperial court, you will implicate the entire Phoenix City. "

Zhong Fu was stunned for a moment. "I came here alone with a soldier, what's the big deal?" Besides, I'm not new to the emperor, I'm just here to talk to the young emperor about old times! It's just reminiscing, why make such a big fuss over nothing? "

"Making a fuss over nothing?" Wen Yuzhan frowned, "That is a severe crime of exterminating nine clans. Is it something that you can hide with a single sentence? The crown prince had been spoiled by people at home. He didn't even know how strong he was when he left! Wang Law, was this something you were playing around with? Even if you are the monarch, you can't help but have the Son of Heaven commit the same crime as the commoners! " Moreover, the emperor didn't have any real power to speak of. At most, he was just a puppet.

Zhong Fu didn't say anything else. He was dressed in his daughter's clothes, holding a cup of water as he drank silently.

Seeing this, Wen Yuye didn't say anything more. He rolled on his face with the hot egg, hoping that the swelling would subside tomorrow. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing to leave like this.

However, this night was still not peaceful.

In the middle of the night, the sound of chaotic footsteps came from the street. The first thing they did was to get up from the floor and rush to the window. There were patrolling soldiers everywhere on the street. It seemed that something big had happened.

Zhong Fu was still in a daze, and was immediately scared awake. With a pale face, he hid by the window, watching the chaotic scene on the street. He was completely lost, "Could it be that they are here to capture me?"

"We don't need that many people to catch you!" Wen Yuye narrowed his eyes. "Something must have happened!"

"Are you sure you're not here to capture me?" Zhong Fu's voice trembled, "Didn't you say that if I were to be captured, it would be a heavy crime to execute the entire Nine Clans? "Now that they have me, isn't that fine …"

"Fortunately, you have a good dad!" Wen Yuye snorted lightly and looked at the running soldiers on the street with disdain, "No matter if it's the Regent or the Prime Minister, they will only make this matter a trivial matter and won't dare to reveal it to the public. Otherwise, they will be going against Phoenix City! If your father were to attack the capital when he was angry, even if he could not win, it would greatly damage the imperial government's strength! So if they want to capture you, they must not alarm anyone, and they must even cover up for you for a long time! "

Hearing these words, Zhong Fu let out a sigh of relief, "As long as you didn't capture me! As long as that's not the case! " However, why was it so lively in the middle of the night?

"Could it be that someone died again?" He interrupted.

Wen Yuye's eyebrows suddenly tightened.

Could it be …

The continuous sounds of footsteps disturbed Qing Meng, as well as Zhao Jing's dreams. Zhao Jing was originally light asleep, but she was awoken by this. Her eyes were wide open as she looked at Wei Shuge in disbelief. "Say it again?" Who died? "

Wei Shuge's breathing quickened. "Your majesty, the freshman Geng Weizheng died because of loyalty!"

When Zhao Jing heard these words, he immediately lifted his blanket and got off the bed. "How did he die?"

Wei Shuge hurriedly changed Zhao Jing's clothes. "It's said that he hanged himself. His condition is very similar to Prince Wen's. There are no traces of a struggle in the house. He just hanged himself." When the servants woke up at night, they saw that there was a black shadow moving in the master's room. Then, they realized that the window was not closed. When they stood at the window and looked, they were nearly scared to death. Geng Weizhong was hanging under the beam like a sausage, swaying in the wind. When he was saved, he was no longer breathing and his body was stiff.

Although he was the top scholar for the new Imperial Examinations and had yet to be conferred the title of official, he had suddenly died just now when the name of the name of the top scorer was announced. Where was the dignity of an emperor? The new top scorer died just after the Autumn Examination, this was the first time for Da Xia to come to court. So at this time, everyone rushed over.

After Zhao Jing put on his clothes, Zhao Yuannan came in from outside. "Your majesty!"

"How was it out there?" Zhao Jing hurriedly asked.

Zhao Yuannan's face turned slightly pale. "The Prime Minister has personally gone over. Now, the Military and Horse Division, along with the Ji Province, have strengthened their defenses outside the city. If the murderer was still here, it would be impossible for him to escape! If they were to even kill the top scorer today, the imperial government would probably become a laughingstock! "

"We all know that the prime minister won't kill himself, but the murderer must do it in a way that no one will be able to find him. He must have a really good mentality!" Zhao Jing stood up and walked outside. The night was dark and the wind was cold. It was extremely cold. Zhao Jing shrunk his body as he stood outside the door of the sleeping quarters with a white mist in his mouth. "I'm afraid this time, the four sides are going to take action!"

"The four sides will only receive cases from officials. They usually have the authority to act first, but the ones who die this time are the new top scholar and officials of the imperial court. They should be accepting the cases." Zhao Yuannan said, "However, the head of the Four Great Sects, Lord Nangong Zhe, is a person who is hard to talk to. Relying on the gold medal in his hand, he doesn't put anyone in his eyes and does whatever he likes! "

"Only those who have the ability will have a sharp horn!" Zhao Jing straightened his body. "Uncle Ke should be looking for him."

Zhao Yuannan shook his head, "Your Majesty's words are wrong. Nangong Zhe and the Prime Minister had a conflict, the Prime Minister probably won't be able to get him! However, the Regent was feasible. To Lord Nangong, the Regent had saved his life! The Emperor doesn't know that Lord Nangong likes that bit of yellow soup just like Lord Shi! When Lord Nangong was drunk on the street, if it wasn't for the Regent, he would have been trampled to death by the hooves of the horses! "

Zhao Jing furrowed his brows when he heard this. "What happened to the plum blossom that Teacher gave me?"

"He's here!" Wei Shuge could guess what Zhao Jing was thinking. "Are we sending it over to Lord Nangong?"

"If I send him, will he accept it?" Zhao Jing shook his head and smiled meaningfully. "When the Prime Minister returns, have him come to the imperial study to find me. I want to have a chat with him!"

Upon hearing the summons, Wei Shuge and Zhao Yuannan looked at each other in dismay. Then they turned to look at the Sweet 'n' Sour Rice at the end of the corridor. Every time the Prime Minister made a trip, the Regent would follow. The Emperor was not afraid?!
