The official was just about to leave when the person next to him suddenly asked.

"grown ups."

"Shopkeeper Li's house...doesn't it need to be checked?"

The person who spoke was a deputy general who accompanied him.

He had just participated in part of the investigation and knew that something happened between the eldest prince and Li Momei.

As soon as the conflict broke out, the eldest prince died suddenly on the street.

Even if there is no evidence, it is most appropriate to go in and conduct a search.

The officer in charge of the case heard him say this and glared at him directly.

He waved his hand for the others to leave first, and then said to the lieutenant:

"Originally, there was a lot of commotion in the imperial city because many princes owed a large amount of money to the richest man, Li."

"To put it bluntly, every prince owes a huge favor. If we go to search someone's house at this time, we might end up receiving it as a favor from another prince!"

"The eldest prince died suddenly. The first person to lose was Shopkeeper Li. The money she lent to the eldest prince will probably never be returned."

"No matter how you think about it, she has no courage and no reason to get involved in this matter."

"In addition, there is a prince sitting in the family of the richest man Li. Even if it is an unknown prince, it is not something you and I can offend."

"If you want to take advantage of the search to extort some money, then go ahead!"

"If something happens, don't blame me!"

After the official said these words, he just slapped the horse and left the scene.

The deputy general hesitated for a long time and looked at the Li family's house in the distance. After all, he did not dare to send anyone to knock on the door.

In the palace.

The other princes have all arrived, and they all look at each other a little wrong.

The road to seizing the throne is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss. Everyone knows this.

But no one would have thought that a prince would die suddenly on the street, or that he would suddenly die on the street after coming into contact with Li Momei!

If he died on the way there, there could be three hundred explanations.

But he died after directly contacting Li Momei. This process looks like it was deliberately arranged by one of the princes!

The death of the eldest prince not only directly reduced the number of competitors, but also directly divided up the advisers and interest groups under the eldest prince.

The only people who want to do this and dare to do so are other princes.

After all, except for a few people standing here, no one will gain any benefits after the death of the eldest prince!

Just when several princes were glaring at each other.

The officials investigating the matter quickly passed by them and ran directly into the hall.

See this situation.

Several princes did not stand outside the hall, and followed him to the main hall together.

After such a big event happened, the so-called etiquette was not so important.

The officials quickly recounted everything they had investigated in public, and of course explained whether Li Momei's role in this matter was dispensable.

Take into account the on-site situation.

When the eldest prince died, he was a hundred steps away from Li Momei's door.

The eldest prince could be killed at this distance without even being able to save his head. The murder weapon was still embedded in a pillar a few meters away. It was so powerful that it was not weaker than a bed crossbow.

The murder weapon used to murder the eldest prince was very small, only as big as two knuckles, but there were all kinds of strange things that were difficult to explain.

The fact that it can penetrate as deep as a finger into a wooden pillar shows that this thing is very hard, but when it is taken out, it can inexplicably heat up and catch fire. After it is completely taken out, it is only charred black.

There seemed to be a very thin layer of iron around it, but I couldn't tell what it was inside.

It seems so.

The death of the eldest prince is probably not something ordinary people can do.

The old emperor listened quietly to all the officials' stories, and then watched the officials present the evidence.

At this time, the old emperor's eyes also looked a little tired.

No matter how cold and ruthless he is, the eldest prince is the son who has been with him the longest.

No matter how unsatisfactory this son is, once he dies, all disappointments will turn into regrets.

Look at the other princes below.

The old emperor found that there was no expression of sadness on their faces because of the death of their brother.

As an emperor, each of them has the iron heart.

But as their father, the old emperor felt an inexplicable sadness.

He also knew that this situation was entirely caused by him.

If he hadn't so believed that only competition could produce the best emperor, there wouldn't be any feelings between the princes.

"Let's all go down first."

"I want to be quiet."

When they heard the old emperor's voice, no one spoke. They all bowed and turned back.

Speaking at this time will only arouse the old emperor's boundless anger.

After everyone left, the old emperor said:

"Would any of you weirdos know how to do something like this?"

Four figures suddenly appeared next to the old emperor. After stepping forward and observing the objects in the box, they all shook their heads.

"Your Majesty, the inheritance of each practitioner is different, and what we know is only what most people understand."

"Although we know some of this kind of magical weapon that can kill people suddenly and can damage itself, it is definitely not the kind we are seeing."

"We haven't noticed any magic power on it. It is most likely an alternative thaumaturgy from some remote areas. These things have always been difficult to find, and we don't know where this thing came from."

The old emperor's eyes were a little straight.

He stared intently at the box that had turned into a dark mass. He was silent for a long time before saying:

"Hear what you mean."

"Did my son die in vain?"

The few strange people around him didn't speak.

They really don't know where this thing comes from!

Even with their abilities, they couldn't figure out where this thing came from!

Counting over and over again can only lead to nothingness.

It's like this thing has never appeared before!

There was silence in the hall.

After the princes left the hall, they all looked at each other and then went home.

For them, today they just want to know how their elder brother died.

Or maybe you want to take the opportunity to comfort the old father who lost his child, and show that you have fulfilled your due filial piety.

However, this old father obviously did not feel this way.

Now that there is no way to find out the real murderer, this is an alternative opportunity for the princes.

If any of them find the real culprit.

Not only can he directly win his father's attention.

You can also gain a good reputation for avenging your brother.

emmmmmmm

I originally planned to update at two o'clock at six o'clock.

Everyone in the group said there were too few updates and not enough to watch.

Then I will write more, one chapter first, and then I will post a 4,000-word chapter.
