"No." Xuanyuan Zhan rejected him, "That place is too bloody, you are not suited to go there."
"Why can't I? We have experienced so much together, what bloody scene have I not seen before? Besides, maybe I can help you. " Feng Yu said.
Xuanyuan Zhan had no choice but to bring Feng Yu along.
The Xing Family and the Zou Clan's murder methods were the same, moreover, since the Emperor had entrusted this matter to the crown prince, it would be best if he didn't face the crown prince head on. When Xuanyuan Zhan heard that the crown prince had gone to the Xing Family, he decided to investigate the Zou family.
Xing Family.
After the crown prince and the others left the palace, they immediately rushed to Xing Family to explore the site. The scene was in chaos. Although the corpses had already been cleared, the moment Xuanyuan Qingtian walked into Xing Family, he was immediately infected by the thick smell of blood. He could not help but reveal a look of disdain, but when he thought about his own request to investigate the case, he felt that he had to perform well. He couldn't help but hold it in as he walked in.
"Greetings, Your Highness." The coroners who were still in Xing Family cleaning up the scene saw that the Crown Prince Palace had arrived, and bowed to them.
"Get up." Xuanyuan Qingtian looked down on them and used his hands to pinch his nose in disgust, "Tell me, have you guys found any clues?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, from the looks of it, these people are very agile." A case officer who seemed to be a subordinate of the justice courts said, "These people did it in silence. Besides, other than those decapitated corpses, we couldn't find any other clues."
"After searching for a long time, you only found these things?" the Crown Prince asked.
"Your highness, this is too urgent. This group of people has committed the crime quietly without leaving any suspicious clues behind. I hope that your highness can give me some time, and I will definitely be able to find some clues."
"Alright, alright. I'll give you guys some more time." Xuanyuan Qingtian really disliked the smell here, so he gave them instructions before he left the Xing Family.
"Ah, really!" The Crown Prince could not help but complain. After giving Xing Family a profound look, he left.
In the Zou family's courtyard, in order to avoid the crown prince, Feng Yu and Xuanyuan Zhan specially took Xuanyuan Qingtian to the Xing Family to investigate the case.
"His Majesty the Battle-King, you are …"
"Oh, This King just wants to come over and take a look." Xuanyuan Zhan said.
"But …" The person said with a troubled expression.
"Why?" Xuanyuan Zhan raised his eyebrows, "Is that not possible?"
"No, no, it's not like that, how could this servant dare, it's just that this place has been designated as the scene of the murder by the Magistrate of the Supreme Court, and Master has already instructed me, find someone and don't casually come in, to prevent them from destroying the scene and obstructing the search."
"Oh ~" Xuanyuan Zhan raised his eyebrows. "You mean this king is unimportant?"
"No, no." Hearing the His Majesty the Battle-King whose name resounded throughout the world say such things, he couldn't help but feel a little terrified. "Your servant wouldn't dare."
"It's not that I want to make things difficult for all of you, but the matter this time has alarmed the entire capital. I'm only trying to do my part for the imperial government. I want to share the Emperor's worries." If we can find the culprit as soon as possible, wouldn't you be happy? "
"No, no." Seeing that His Majesty the Battle-King had already said so, that fellow did not dare to stop him. This lowly one naturally does not dare to make things difficult for His Majesty the Battle-King, please, Your Highness. " He then turned to let Xuanyuan Zhan in, and stopped obstructing Xuanyuan Zhan and Feng Yu from inspecting the scene. After bringing them in, he very consciously withdrew.
Although the Zou Clan had already been cleaned up, the smell of blood still made Feng Yu feel nauseous.
"Yu Er, how is it?" Seeing Feng Yu's appearance, Xuanyuan Zhan couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, "Otherwise, you can go back to your residence first. I can take care of this place myself."
"No." Feng Yu hurriedly said, "I'm fine. I just can't get used to the smell. I'll be fine in a moment."
When Xuanyuan Zhan saw that Feng Yu had persisted, he did not insist either.
With great difficulty, Feng Yu finally adapted to the smell. Even though she had experienced many dangers in this ancient era and had also seen many bloody scenes, this was the first time she had seen such a scene.
Such a thick smell of blood … How many people had been killed? Moreover, there were more than a hundred of them in the family. The entire family had been massacred without a single survivor. How perverted was this person's heart? No matter how great the hatred was, he could not disregard the lives of others. Even if his family was at fault, what about those innocent servants?
Xuanyuan Zhan could tell that Feng Yu was unnatural, so he grabbed onto Feng Yu's hand and said: "Yu Er."
Feng Yu felt Xuanyuan Zhan's worry and replied with a reassuring smile.
"I'm fine. I just feel that people's lives are very fragile. Even if they could have done something wrong, they wouldn't need to use such methods to take revenge on them. Moreover, they are extremely cruel people." Feng Yu sighed with emotion, "Furthermore, shouldn't the capital under the feet of the Emperor be peaceful and harmonious? Why would such a thing happen? Could it be that those people really have no sense of justice? "
"Yu Er, don't worry. No matter what happens, I will definitely protect you." Seeming to have noticed Feng Yu's unease, Xuanyuan Zhan said. I guarantee that this will never happen again. "
Hearing Xuanyuan Zhan's words, Feng Yu could not help but be taken aback. That's right, he had always thought for herself. She had only sighed with emotion when she saw such a scene, yet he had actually taken it seriously. Thinking of this, Feng Yu couldn't help but laugh. So the feeling of someone constantly putting him at the apex of their heart was like this.
The Zou family and the Xing Family were both important officials of the imperial court. Although the two of them were not on good terms with each other, they had always been loyal to each other. According to common sense, since the two clans had always been officials in the imperial court, they shouldn't have formed enmity with others.
Moreover, what puzzled Feng Yu the most was how two of the imperial court's most important officials had been slaughtered overnight, but no one else had discovered it. It was only discovered the morning of the second day. That's not possible. Unless they poisoned him without anyone knowing, how could they kill so many people without anyone knowing?
Xuanyuan Zhan scouted around the Zou family's residence, and the results were exactly the same as what the crown prince and the others found in the Xing Family. Immediately after, Xuanyuan Zhan went to the Spirit Hall to check on the wounds of the people who were killed, and followed Feng Yu to burn some incense, and then did not stay, and left the Zou Residence.
On the other side, not long after the crown prince left the Xing Family, he met a person who was guarding the Zou family.
"Your Highness, I have something to report."
"If you have anything to say, say it tomorrow. I will return to my residence today." Xuanyuan Qingtian said impatiently.
"No, Your Highness, the His Majesty the Battle-King has gone to the Zou Residence."
Xuanyuan Qingtian was startled, "What did you say? Xuanyuan Zhan went to the Zou Residence."
"Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince had me look over the Zou Mansion. Today, the His Majesty the Battle-King came to the Zou Mansion and said that he wanted to watch the crime scene, saying that he wanted to help His Majesty investigate this matter as soon as possible, so as to prevent panic amongst the people in the capital."
Xuanyuan Qingtian's expression changed slightly. "Come, let's go take a look at the Zou family."
Just as Xuanyuan Zhan and Feng Yu were about to leave the Zou Residence, before they could even leave the main entrance of the Zou Residence, they met Xuanyuan Qingtian.
"What kind of phoenix is it today? Why did it bring brother here? Moreover, second sister also came." Xuanyuan Qingtian asked when he saw Feng Yu and Xuanyuan Zhan.
Feng Yu secretly rolled her eyes at him. She didn't want to see Xuanyuan Qingtian at all. She didn't do anything else the entire day, only thinking about how to fight for the throne. The people Feng Yu hated the most were people like him. Therefore, when Xuanyuan Qingtian spoke, Feng Yu did not even pay attention to her.
"Big brother." Xuanyuan Zhan said, "I only feel that since this matter has shocked the capital, it is naturally very troublesome. I just want to help and even though Big Brother has the help of Magistrate of the Supreme Court, there will inevitably be some things that you missed."
"Third brother, I appreciate your kindness. However, since royal father has handed this matter to me, father naturally believes in your ability, so there is no need for second brother to worry. It's better to just stay here and play around."
"Crown Prince, your words are wrong." Feng Yu couldn't bear to see this any longer. "The Emperor left this matter in the hands of His Highness the Crown Prince, but this is still a matter of great importance. Furthermore, because everyone in the capital was worried about this matter, the Battle King only wanted to help the Emperor share his worries. It is not right for His Highness to say that, since we are both citizens of the Xiao Kingdom, we just want to contribute to the Xiao Kingdom. "
The crown prince was left speechless by Feng Yu's words. "This …" Moreover, Third Brother is already very tired from working hard in the past. If Third Brother works very hard because of this, it wouldn't be too good. Also, if Third Brother is free, then don't I want to give Third Brother more time to accompany him? "
"Feng Yu appreciates the crown prince's kindness. Since the crown prince is different, then let's meddle in his business and treat it as us putting on an act. Goodbye." After saying that, without waiting for Xuanyuan Qingtian to speak, Feng Yu arrogantly pulled Xuanyuan Zhan along with her and turned to leave.
With that, Xuanyuan Zhan looked at Feng Yu, who was protecting him like a cat searching for food, with a smile on her face.
"Why are you still laughing?" Feng Yu said unhappily.
"Nothing?" Xuanyuan Zhan's eyes carried a smile as he looked at Feng Yu with a gentle and gentle expression. It's just that I find it very interesting to see you defending me like that. "
Hearing Xuanyuan Zhan's words, Feng Yu couldn't help but feel a little awkward. She rolled her eyes at him and did not say anything else.
When the two returned to Battle King Manor, a servant reported that Xuanyuan Feng had come.
Feng Yu followed Xuanyuan Zhan to Dou Dou's courtyard, and saw that Xuanyuan Feng was currently playing with him, and the two of them were having a very fun time.
Seeing Xuanyuan Zhan return with Feng Yu, Xuanyuan Feng put down the Dou Dou in her hands. Dou Dou threw himself into Feng Yu's embrace.
"Second brother." Xuanyuan Feng said, as though he had something to say.
Feng Yu could tell that Xuanyuan Feng most likely had something to discuss with Xuanyuan Zhan, so he left with Dou Dou.
"Second Brother, I heard earlier this morning that Xing Family and the Zou Clan were all killed overnight. What exactly is going on?"
"Follow me." Xuanyuan Zhan did not say anything, but let Xuanyuan Feng follow him to the study room, where the two of them talked for a long time.
"Don't you find it strange, second brother?" Xuanyuan Feng said.
"What do you mean?"
"Although I rarely pay attention to important matters of the court, I still know that the Xing Family and the Zou family are neutral in supporting the crown prince." Xuanyuan Feng said, "Right now, the only power in the imperial court that can contend against the crown prince is you, second brother, and anyone with eyes would be able to see that the one royal father prefers is the crown prince and not second brother, and their Master Xing and Master Zou do indeed agree to maintain a neutral attitude on this matter. "At this moment, the two of them suddenly died. Second Brother doesn't think …" Xuanyuan Feng wanted to say something but hesitated. He felt that if he did not, second brother would be able to understand what he meant.
Xuanyuan Zhan was enlightened by Xuanyuan Feng's words. He felt that this matter might have a greater motive behind it.
