After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

The third prince Qin Sheng'an was killed!

Yan Mu and others followed officials from the Ministry of Punishment and rushed to a forest ten miles outside the city. The forest had been surrounded by the camp on the outskirts of Beijing. Yan Mu was able to enter after revealing his identity.

There were also layers and layers of officers and soldiers surrounding it. Unexpectedly, the ones inside were from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division, led by Qin Feishi.

Dahei whispered: "The camp of Shan Nian has been restless these days. People have escaped from time to time. The camp on the outskirts of Beijing is stationed. The Jingzhao Mansion and our Criminal Department also sent many officers to search for the escapees. But the security of Shengjing also needs to be maintained. Important people, this is when the Soldiers and Horses Division comes in handy. The third prince was killed in the woods, and it was the Soldiers and Horses Division who first discovered it and then reported it."

When Yan Mu heard this, he glanced at Qin Fei who was standing at the front. The Bingma Division, which had disappeared from everyone's eyes, appeared in front of everyone again because of him.

I have to say, he is indeed very capable.

The strange thing is that these people from the Military and Horse Division were gathered around a dozen steps away from the murder scene, and they were all standing with their faces facing outward, and they all looked unhappy.

Inside were the people from Jingzhao Mansion, but they were actually far away.

Yan Mu and his party, together with officials from the Ministry of Punishment, went inside because they were responsible for the case. Yan Mu was in front and was the first to see the dead person in the withered grass. He frowned, then covered Liu Yunxiang's eyes and pulled her into his arms.

Before Liu Yunxiang had time to look, his vision went dark, and he was immediately hugged by Yan Mu.

With so many people present, Liu Yunxiang pushed him embarrassedly.

"Let go of me!"

"He was stripped naked."

Liu Yunxiang stopped moving now, "What's wrong with this murderer? He just kills people. Why did he take off all his clothes?"

Yan Mu responded in a low voice, and then looked at the corpse. In fact, it was already a pile of flesh. The head and body were only connected with a little skin, which was tilted to the shoulders. The body had been stabbed with countless knives, one after another, and the flesh and blood were mixed. Together, all the limbs were broken, and they were still in the surrounding grass in a mess.

"vomit!"

Xue Changfeng and Zhou Lihuai couldn't help but gag when they saw it. Even Dahei and the official of the Ministry of Justice, who had seen countless murder scenes, couldn't hold back and retched, and the timid ones took several steps back.

Yan Mu took Liu Yunxiang back more than ten steps away. There was no need for him to torture his nerves.

At this time, Qin Feishi and Jingzhao Prefecture Yin Li Zhong came over together. Qin Feishi's eyes were red and he looked sad. Li Zhong sighed a few times, but he was more embarrassed.

"I have sent people to the palace to inform the Emperor and Queen, and also sent people to the Third Prince's Mansion. I just didn't expect that His Highness died so miserably. Where is the Emperor..."

Li Zhong sighed again as he spoke, and then looked at Yan Mu, "Your Majesty, Seventh Highness, this case is too big and you have to preside over it."

There was no need for Li Zhong to shirk it, such a big case would definitely fall to the Criminal Department.

When Yan Mu looked at Qin Fei, he twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "King Anqing, don't cry yet. I have a few questions to ask you about this murder case."

When Qin Feishi heard this, he wiped his tears decently, "This king and His Highness are brothers. Seeing him die tragically, it really hurts my heart."

Yan Mumo, there is still a layer between them, but he and Qin Sheng'an are brothers.

"Do you think His Highness is even more heartbroken?" Qin Feishi looked at Yan Mu, "Hey, Your Highness, why don't you cry?"

Yan Mu narrowed his eyes and shouted: "What's the use of crying? Crying can bring third brother back to life. Crying can catch the murderer?"

"It's just so sad that I can't stop crying."

"Crying like a girl."

Qin Feishi's face couldn't help but darken, "What does the Seventh Highness want to ask?"

Yan Mu looked around. This was a path going up the mountain. Not many people walked on it on weekdays, but the body was still in the dead grass in the forest nearby, making it difficult to find it.

"How did your army and horse department find out?"

"It's a coincidence that this morning I was patrolling the streets with a few officials, and I saw His Highness and two servants galloping towards the city gate. Seeing him like this, I guessed that something big might have happened, so I took him with me People chased them out of the city gate, but after chasing them for a few miles, we lost sight of them. We walked this way again, but didn't find anything. Just as we were about to go back, a servant staggered from the path here to the main road. He He was covered in blood and was already dying. When he saw us, he pointed to the mountain with difficulty, and then he died. I had a bad premonition, so I quickly led people to search the mountain and found this place." Qin Fei sighed again after saying this. Take a breath.

Yan Mu glanced at Qin Feishi and saw that his face was ugly. At this time, he felt somewhat sincerely.

Although Qin Shengrui is useless, he treats Qin Fei sincerely and treats him as a Qin family member. The last time Qin Fei was able to return to Shengjing from Yanzhou, Qin Shengrui was a big help.

Without him, there would be no help, which Qin Feishi would certainly feel regretful for.

"Didn't the third brother bring two servants? Where is the other one?" Yan Mu asked.

"I sent people to look for it. I think I can find it soon." Qin Fei said.

Yan Mu thought for a moment and said: "The person who killed Third Brother either had great hatred for him or was in a state of madness. Such a person, even if he is usually cautious, will still make mistakes at this time. "

Thinking of this, Yan Mu asked Dahei to lead officials from the Ministry of Justice to search for clues around the body.

Soon the sky darkened, and there was no news from the palace. The third prince's mansion said that the third prince's concubine fainted on the spot when she heard the news.

This matter is too big and Yan Mu cannot leave yet.

"You should go back home first." Yan Mu turned to Liu Yunxiang beside him and said.

Liu Yunxiang nodded. Although she did not see the death of His Highness, it was very tragic to think about it. At this time, she thought of Su Rumeng, and she had a feeling that the death of the Third Highness was related to her.

There is nothing to do with Xue Changfeng and Zhou Lihuai here. The two of them sent Liu Yunxiang back to the city.

When leaving, Dahei hurried over with something in his hand.

"Your Highness, I found this on the hillside over there."

Qin Feishi took a torch from his hand and shined it on the thing in Dahei's hand. It turned out to be a boot.

Very ordinary boots, still new, only the soles were stained with mud. The workmanship of these boots is very detailed, and there is a begonia flower embroidered on the boot opening.

Liu Yunxiang looked back at the boots, but because Xue Changfeng urged him to do so, he only glanced at them and left.

On the way back, she kept thinking about something. She always felt that the truth was about to come out, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.

After getting off the carriage at the gate of the mansion, Xue Changfeng and Zhou Lihuai left first, and Liu Yunxiang took Zijin to the mansion.

As one foot stepped onto the threshold, Liu Yunxiang suddenly thought about it, and his expression suddenly changed.

That boot, that boot, she finally remembered where she had seen it!

Thinking of that person, Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but shudder.

"Quick, follow me to the Third Prince's Mansion!"
