C161 Beijing Blood Case (2)

That night, when Feng Yu saw that Xuanyuan Zhan was still handling government affairs in the study room, she coaxed Dou Dou to sleep and went to the study room to accompany him.

"Yu Er." Xuanyuan Zhan was busy with handling the government affairs in his hands, when he heard the voice. When he raised his head, he saw that it was Feng Yu.

Feng Yu placed the tea in her hand on the desk and looked at Xuanyuan Zhan.

"Xuanyuan Zhan, do you feel that …" Feng Yu wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What's wrong?"

"Xuanyuan Zhan, I know that it might be a bit inappropriate to say it like that, but do you think that you're the one behind this Beijing blood case? Although I can't say it, I am still a little uneasy." Feng Yu didn't want to hide her thoughts like this either.

Hearing the worry in Feng Yu's heart, and thinking back to what Xuanyuan Feng had told him that day, Xuanyuan Zhan had actually long smelled that something was out of the ordinary. He also felt that this matter was probably because of the Battle King Manor, and had not been brought up for a long time, only because he was afraid that Feng Yu would be worried if she knew about it, did she not feel that this matter was unusual.

"Actually, the reason Feng came to find me today was also for this matter." Since Feng Yu was so concerned about him, Xuanyuan Zhan also didn't want to hide the truth from him. No matter what danger there was, he wanted the two of them to face it together.

"He also found out that something was wrong, right?"

"Indeed." Xuanyuan Zhan said, "And Feng even reminded me of a place I have always forgotten."

"Forgotten places?" Feng Yu was puzzled.

"That's right, I forgot. Although the Xing Family and the Zou family have disagreements from time to time, the two of them are loyal to their royal father, and they have always thought of themselves as elderlies. Thus, between the crown prince and me, they have always maintained a neutral attitude. There is no clear target. "

Hearing Xuanyuan Zhan say that, Feng Yu was surprised. So this matter had involved so much, Feng Yu thought about it carefully, if she killed these two officials, who would benefit the most in the court? Could it be …

"I got it, killing Lord Xing is very beneficial to who! "Crown Prince?"

"I don't know. Even if the crown prince had that kind of intention, he wouldn't have the guts to do so." It won't be his. "

"Why?" Feng Yu asked.

"Although the Crown Prince is naturally a pampered person and doesn't like to put others in his eyes, he still can't do something like slaughtering an entire family of people." Furthermore, he had to kill so many people at once, how many groups of killers would he need to secretly do it so silently? It couldn't be the Crown Prince's. There must be another force hiding in the capital. Xuanyuan Zhan thought.

"Your Highness." The moment Lei Yu returned to the Duke Palace, he immediately felt that his study room was reporting to Xuanyuan Zhan about the things he had investigated in the past two days.

This subordinate has been investigating with Lord Xing and Lord Zou for the past few days, but has not found anything suspicious. Although Lord Xing and Lord Zou have an occasional quarrel, he is a clean person and would usually offend a lot of villains. However, those people do not have this kind of background. Lei Yu said.

Nothing? How could this be possible? As long as you do something, there will definitely be traces for you to follow. Xuanyuan Zhan could not help but feel suspicious. Could it be that all of this was deliberately arranged by someone, so that the people he sent out wouldn't be able to discover anything?

"This King knows." Xuanyuan Zhan said.

"Your Highness, on the way back, this Subordinate heard of a matter that has some connection with the case of Lord Xing and Lord Zou."

"What is it? "Speak."

"When this subordinate was on the way to investigate, I heard from a carriage driver that Lord Xing had once delivered food to his household. Coincidentally, I heard that the crown prince had gone to see Lord Xing on that day."

"The crown prince has been to the Xing Family?" Xuanyuan Zhan asked, "Did you know that something happened a few days ago?"

"In reply to Your Highness, His Highness went there three days before the incident, and it seems like he wanted to win His Highness' favor." In reply to Your Highness, His Highness went there three days before the incident, and it seems like he wanted to win His Highness's favor.

Hearing Lei Yu's words, Xuanyuan Zhan could not help but be confused, could it really be the crown prince? Impossible, if it really was the Crown Prince, then how could the Crown Prince expose such an obvious flaw? No matter how stupid the Crown Prince was, he would never show such an obvious flaw.

"And on that day, the Crown Prince went to the Zou Clan." Lei Yu said, "It seems to be for the same reason."

"What?" He went to the Zou Clan? " This made Xuanyuan Zhan even more suspicious, the crown prince went to the Xing Family and the Zou family respectively three days before the Beijing blood case, and all of them had died because of one thing. It was just three days after that, the Xing Family and the Zou family were exterminated, could this really be a coincidence?

"Alright, let Lightning continue her investigation. If there's anything else, report it to me."

After the thunderstorm subsided, Xuanyuan Zhan organized his thoughts. He needed to think about it carefully. This matter seemed to be more complicated than he had initially thought.

Early in the morning, just as Feng Yu was about to go find Xuanyuan Zhan, she walked to the entrance of Xuanyuan Zhan's residence and saw Lei Yu coming out.

"Greetings, consort." Just as he came out of the prince's room, he saw the princess, Lei Yu thought to himself.

"No need to be so polite." Feng Yu said. Although Lei Yu was a servant, Lei Yu was completely loyal to Xuanyuan Zhan. No matter what difficulties they met with, Lei Yu and Lightning would always follow behind Xuanyuan Zhan. Therefore, in Feng Yu's heart, Lei Yushandian had never been a servant.

When Feng Yu walked into the room, she saw that Xuanyuan Zhan's brows were tightly knitted, as if he had been troubled by something and there seemed to be no solution to it.

"What happened? Did the thunderstorm find something?" Feng Yu asked. In truth, when she first saw Lei Yu, she already knew that Lei Yu must have found out something.

"Mm, Lei Yu found out that this might have something to do with the crown prince." Xuanyuan Zhan said as he facepalmed.

"Why is there such a crown prince everywhere?"

Xuanyuan Zhan told Feng Yu about the information that the lightning rain had gathered. Feng Yu also felt that it was very strange when she heard this. Moreover, she had been feeling very uneasy for the past two days. She had a feeling that something big was going to happen. Moreover, this matter actually involved that Xuanyuan Qingtian.

"How about this, you go and test Xuanyuan Qingtian and see what his reaction is." Feng Yu said.

Xuanyuan Zhan felt that Feng Yu's words made a lot of sense. Rather than letting his own imagination run wild here, making wild guesses, who knew how long it would take him to organize his thoughts, since it was like this, he might as well go and probe him. If this was really done by the crown prince, then he would definitely take action. Moreover, it was impossible to fake a person's actions and words. If this was really done by him, then there would definitely be a flaw.

He temporarily put aside the doubts in his heart, but there was still a pile of things that he needed to take care of in the army camp. Furthermore, for the past two days, although the Emperor did not hand over the Xing Zou Clan's case to Xuanyuan Zhan, but Xuanyuan Zhan felt that this matter was not as easy as he had imagined. He had investigated it privately, and for the past two days, Xuanyuan Zhan had not dealt with the matters in the army camp.

After Xuanyuan Zhan left the Palace, Feng Yu stayed in the Palace for a while. When she thought about what Xuanyuan Zhan had said today, she was unable to make sense of the situation at all for the moment. However, when Feng Yu saw how Xuanyuan Zhan had spent so much effort everyday and also wanted to help him, Feng Yu's gaze inadvertently swept across the three golden leaves that had been placed on the dressing table since the last time he came back.

"That's right, I can ask Xi Leng to use the power of Nine Nether Pavilion to help me investigate."

Actually, Feng Yu had also thought of asking Nangong Chen for help with the investigation, but since this matter involved too many people, and Xuanyuan Zhan didn't even ask for his help, it proved that Xuanyuan Zhan didn't want to have Nangong Chen help with it. Feng Yu felt that it wasn't too good if she went to find Nangong Chen at this time of day, so she had been hesitating.

Now, with the Nine Nether Pavilion, he only needed to not let Xuanyuan Zhan know that he had used their power.

Feng Yu recalled that Xi Leng had told him to hang these three golden leaves on her waist if she wanted to see them; they would naturally come out to meet him at that time.

Feng Yu took the three golden leaves and left the Battle King Manor.

Feng Yu was disguised as a man as she strolled around the streets, intentionally keeping the three golden leaves by her waist.

Feng Yu had wandered the streets of the capital for a whole day, but no one had come to find him. She couldn't help but feel a tinge of disappointment. Alright, who told him to reject being their pavilion master? Since I didn't see it today, I'll continue tomorrow! Feng Yu thought to herself.

People in the capital had been panicking for the past two days. As the great general of the imperial government, the news that had caused such a stir in the capital had naturally reached Mu Ming's ears at the very first moment.

However, this matter was not related to him, and the Emperor didn't allow others to interfere, so he handed the matter over to the Magistrate of the Supreme Court and His Highness. Furthermore, Mu Ming was naturally too lazy to investigate whether or not there were any matters concerning the His Majesty the Battle-King.

It turned out that Shangguan Qinger had returned to the Blue Jade Pavilion in the past two days. The two elders had missed her daughter, and although Shangguan Qinger couldn't bear to part with her, Mu Ming was fortunate that she was a filial daughter. Since her parents had missed her, he could only return.

Without Shangguan Qinger's ruckus, it was as if the entire Mu Manor had quietened down. Normally, when Shangguan Qinger was here, he would hope that she would be more quiet. Now that she had left, it seemed a little desolate.

Shangguan Qinger had only left for two days, so Mu Ming was already not used to it and started to think about her.

That night, Mu Ming, who was lying on his bed, recalled everything that had happened between him and Shangguan Qinger over the past few days and couldn't help but smile. Mu Ming lay on his bed for a long time without falling asleep. Suddenly, he heard light sounds coming from the roof. Although his voice was very soft, Mu Ming still heard it. Mu Ming had been practicing martial arts since he was young, so Mu Ming was able to detect any signs of trouble very quickly.

From the sound of the footsteps, it was a person?

Mu Ming quietly stood up and used the moonlight to hide in a dark corner of the Daoist room. Sure enough, a black-clothed person sneaked into Mu Ming's room after a while. That black-clothed person walked up to Mu Ming's bed and stabbed his sword towards Mu Ming's bed without holding back.

At this moment, Mu Ming made use of the fact that that person wasn't paying attention to attack and restrained him. Who would have thought that the person would actually be able to break free? The black clothed man's sword was thrust straight towards Mu Ming the instant he saw Mu Ming. Mu Ming dodged to the side and dodged it.

Mu Ming was a martial artist who had trained in martial arts since he was young, how could he let him escape so easily? Once he saw Mu Ming casually throw a teacup on the table towards the leg of the black-clothed man and hit the black-clothed man right on the calf, a burst of pain appeared as Mu Ming held the black-clothed man down.

"Speak, who are you and who sent you here?"

Mu Ming had just spoken his words when he saw the black-clothed man crush the poison hidden in his mouth and kill himself with it.

When the servants in the mansion heard the commotion, they ran over and saw such a scene.

This was the first time, that Mu Ming was so glad that Shangguan Qinger was not in her residence today. He truly did not dare to imagine what it would be like if Shangguan Qinger was being held hostage by the black-clothed man in his manor to kill him.
