The assassin's princess is actually my aunt

Emperor Qianyao's voice was not loud, but it made Meng Fangguang's eyelids jump and his face turned pale with fright.

"Damn you, my humble servant!

I have failed in my duties, I deserve to die!"

"Forget it, let's forget about it this time. I hope you'll take this as a warning.

Don’t wait until next time, when the assassin enters the palace, you will really be dead!

Qian Wuling never thought of this at all, and he didn't see Meng Fanqi's body.

It was Meng Fanguang who came to see him early in the morning, and it was Meng Fanguang who described the whole thing to him.

Now that his father had said this, Qian Wuling thought for sure that Meng Fangguang was responsible for Feng Yao's safety.

If something like this happens, he cannot escape responsibility. Not to mention that the person who died is your brother, he could be your father.

If you cannot protect the safety of the imperial city, the first thing you have to do is to apologize!

Qian Wuling took a look at Meng Fanguang, who was kneeling on the ground in fear and trembling slightly.

He said reluctantly, "Father, although Commander Meng was negligent in this matter, he originally planned to investigate the matter.

The arrogant villain was brought to justice, but Zhou Gaoyang still moved his cousin's body back to the Jiumen Governor's Office.

He also said that this matter should be handled by him and that the dead person was Meng Fanguang's younger brother.

Moreover, the murderer used this method, clearly targeting the Meng family.

It is reasonable and logical that this matter should be handed over to Commander Meng.

Father, I think..."

"Oh? What do you think, Prince?"

Emperor Qianyao's voice was not loud, nor did he sound unhappy, but it made the prince's heart tremble for no reason.

He was stunned for a moment and didn't react. Seeing this, Emperor Qianyao said, "Zhou Gaoyang?

Yes, I remember that half an hour ago, Zhou Qing submitted a memorial.

Li Shilu! "

Eunuch Li immediately took the memorial from the imperial desk and handed it to Emperor Qianyao.

Li Shilu is the most capable person around Emperor Qianyao.

He said without looking away, "Your Majesty, Lord Zhou handed over a memorial for you to review.

You just happened to have something to do, so let Mr. Zhou go ahead and do it."

Emperor Qianyao hummed, "I guess Zhou Qing's memorial was about Meng Fanqi."

As he said this, he took the letter and began to read it.

The Crown Prince and Meng Fangguang were thinking about how to get Emperor Qianyao to issue an edict.

The matter was transferred from the Nine-Gates Governor's Office to the Guard Army.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Qianyao was so angry that he threw the letter in front of Meng Fanguang.

He sneered, "What a loyal guard commander!

What a good one! Let me make the decision for Meng Fanqi and the Meng family!"

Qian Wuling didn't know what was written or said in the memorial. He quickly went over in his mind what Meng Fangguang had told him.

There is nothing wrong with it. Is he hiding something?

The prince felt somewhat annoyed, but his face showed no sign of panic, only some doubt.

Meng Fangguang was horrified and quickly picked up the letter and started reading it.

The more Meng Fangguang read, the colder he felt, and the paler his face became. He had explained all this in the memorial.

The murderer killed Meng Fanqi and then hung him on the east city wall.

There was actually a long piece of cloth left behind, on which was written the account of the extremely absurd and cruel rape that took place in Meng Fanqi's Deer Park.

And over the years, his younger brother has committed murder, wife-stealing, rape, and more.

Meng Fangguang protected his own brother and even secretly mobilized the guards to act as his lackeys.

He knew these things, although not completely, but every detail was extremely detailed.

What's more, Zhou Gaoyang immediately sent people to Yanlu Park outside the city.

More than a dozen female victims were found alive, and countless corpses were dug up.

And I was completely unaware of all these things. Apparently, when I arrived, Zhou Gaoyang had already put away the long cloth.

And people have already been sent to Yanlu Park. I have some impression of that place, but I have never been there.

No wonder! No wonder Zhou Gaoyang, this old man, dared to snatch Qi'er's body from me so forcefully.

It turned out that he had hidden the long piece of cloth a long time ago, leaving this trick behind, just waiting for himself to run headfirst into the emperor.

Seeing that he had angered the emperor.

Good! Good! Good to you Zhou Gaoyang!

At this time, Meng Fangguang's hatred for Zhou Gaoyang even exceeded that for the murderer who killed his own brother.

He looked extremely terrified and kowtowed several times, with such force that he even broke his head.

There was a trace of bright red running down his forehead, and his eyes were full of shock and grief, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"Your Majesty, I would not dare to do that even if I had the courage of heaven!

Although I am a lascivious and playboy, I know my limits and would never do anything wrong.

My father is away from home most of the year. As his elder brother, I often give him instructions.

I have suffered such a great disaster today, and I have also been deliberately framed by a villain. I beg Your Majesty to investigate and give me justice. "

After saying that, he started knocking his head again with "bang bang bang..."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said nothing, but it was clear that the anger on his face had subsided a little.

The prince picked up the letter and turned pale after reading it, if what was said there was true.

Then I followed along to speak up for Meng Fanqi and to appeal for justice for the Meng family.

In the eyes of the emperor, what is that? Abetting the tyrant? Or being unclear about right and wrong?

Thinking of the coldness in my father's eyes when he glanced at me just now.

The prince was shocked and felt a little resentful towards the Meng brothers.

Meng Fangguang's words sound nice, but how could he not know what kind of person Meng Fanqi is?

But usually, with the support of the Meng family and his cousin, the prince, no one dared to provoke him.

If the emperor is really determined to order Zhou Gaoyang to investigate, how could he not find out the truth after a detailed investigation?

The prince felt uneasy, but dared not say anything more. He just stood aside with his head down.

After a while, Emperor Qianyao slowly said, "Well, how could I not know what kind of person you are?"

"Thank you for your insight, Your Majesty. I am terrified!"

Meng Fan was very grateful and kowtowed to express his thanks. However, when he stood up, he swayed slightly and almost fell.

Then Emperor Qianyao continued to speak, this time facing the Queen who had been sitting quietly.

"What do you think, Queen, should be done about this matter? After all, this is the Meng family's business."

Emperor Qianyao spoke in a calm tone, as if he was really asking for the Queen's opinion.

After all, the Meng family is the queen's maternal family, and the deceased Meng Fanqi is the queen's nephew.

The queen raised her head, glanced at the prince and Meng Fangguang, and frowned slightly.

With a hint of helplessness and sadness in her eyes, she said firmly: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics.

I have no objection. The Meng family is my mother's family and is also your Majesty's subject. I believe in any decision your Majesty makes."

Emperor Qian Yao looked at Queen Meng for a long time, then chuckled and gently reached out to pat the Queen's hand.

There was a hint of satisfaction in his eyes: "Okay! Since the Queen has no objection.

Then this matter was handed over to Zhou Gaoyang.

Meng Qing, do you have anything else to say?"

Meng Fangguang dared not say anything at this time, and quickly said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, I will obey your orders and will do my best to assist Lord Zhou in handling the case."
