The assassin's princess is actually my aunt

Since he was demoted to Duke, the door of Duke Jingguo's Mansion has rarely been opened.

Wei Chen and Wei Linlang never left the house and stayed in it every day.

One got drunk, and the other beat and scolded the servants.

The only people who came in and out were the servants who were doing the shopping, and they would secretly chat outside the mansion when they were out.

Therefore, until the evening, the regular vendors came, because no one came to buy anything at the mansion today.

So he went to inquire out of curiosity and discovered the Jingguo Mansion with dead bodies all over the yard.

"Ah! Someone's dead... Someone's dead... Help!"

The peddler was so frightened that he ran out tumbling.

For a moment, all the scattered people on the long street outside the palace were attracted over there.

Looking at the open door, there were corpses lying all over the place.

They were all so frightened that their faces turned pale and they dared not step into the door.

But driven by curiosity, they did not disperse and formed a circle outside the mansion.

By the time Zhou Gaoyang, Gu Jingxuan and Feng Qing received the news and rushed over.

There were already three layers of surrounding inside and outside the Jingguo Mansion, and no one could get in or out.

When they saw the people coming from the Nine-Gate Governor's Mansion, the common people, who were talking to each other in a noisy manner, consciously made way for them.

Zhou Gaoyang had a gloomy face and arranged several people to maintain order outside the mansion.

He took Feng Qing and Gu Jingxuan into the mansion, and suppressed his nausea.

He directed people to move the corpses into the yard, and finally he couldn't help but dry-heaving twice.

Seeing that his subordinate really couldn't help it and spit it out behind his back, he cursed angrily: "You useless thing."

A flash of hatred and anger appeared in Zhou Gaoyang's eyes!

"Damn it, am I in trouble this year? These cases keep happening one after another!

It has not been found out yet who killed that son of a bitch Meng Fanqi at the hands of a good guy!

That new...that...that princess..."

"Princess Mingnuo," Feng Qing said.

"Ah! Yes, that newly emerged Princess Mingnuo... was assassinated, and not even a trace of her was caught!"

Zhou Gaoyang continued to curse: "Now, there is another case of annihilation of the whole family!

Not to mention my official position, I might even lose my life!

Well, when the time comes, His Majesty will be so angry that he will drag me to be buried with these people!"

"Boss, don't worry. If you are buried with me, I will definitely bring you a pot of good wine during festivals!"

Feng Qing, who was standing by, swung the folding fan in his hand, covering half of his face, and approached Zhou Gaoyang and spoke.

"You bastard, are you cursing me?" Zhou Gaoyang was furious and kicked Feng Qing on the butt.

"Don't worry, if I die, I will take you with me!"

Feng Qing immediately apologized with a smile: "No, Boss, I was wrong, I was wrong!"

Gu Jingxuan automatically ignored the two men and walked to Wei Chen's body and squatted down.

Looked at it carefully.

Zhou Gaoyang watched Gu Jingxuan's actions, walked forward and asked, "How is it? Did you see anything?"

Gu Jingxuan turned over the bodies of Wei Chen and Wei Linlang, his eyes passing over the short arrow in Wei Chen's chest.

Looking at the servant, he was just like Wei Chen, hit by a poisoned arrow in the chest or other places.

Only Wei Linlang was not hit by the short arrows, but pierced by the long sword.

Moreover, he was stabbed from the front, which meant that he was not killed by arrows from a distance like the others.

Wei Linlang once faced the murderer!

After listening to Gu Jingxuan's analysis, Zhou Gaoyang and Feng Qing both frowned.

Gu Jingxuan carefully observed Wei Linlang's body again, and suddenly, his sight was attracted by one of its scratched fingers.

There are obvious scratches on the fingers caused by fingernails.

And there is a circle of white marks at the base of the fingers.

Gu Jingxuan guessed that there used to be a piece of jewelry similar to a ring in this place.

"Was it taken away by the murderer? But..." Feng Qing quickly glanced at the jewelry on Wei Linlang's head and hands.

"You still have so many valuable jewels, but you didn't take any but a ring?"

They said it was for money, not to mention the other jewelry on Wei Linlang.

Even in the entire mansion, there were so many gold, silver, treasures, valuable calligraphy and paintings, which were priceless, but they were not taken away.

unless…

Feng Qing and Gu Jingxuan looked at each other and saw the answer from each other's eyes.

Unless this jewelry has a different meaning!

After counting the number of people, Gu Jingxuan suddenly said, "That's not right!"

Zhou Gaoyang immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

Gu Jingxuan then looked over the corpses lying in the yard one by one.

After confirming it again and again, he said, "Boss, there are fewer people!"

Feng Qing's mouth twitched, and he said: "Amitabha..."

They're all dead, and you still think it's not enough?

"Don't be surprised, it's not me who said that, it's him, Lord Wei, go find him..."

Feng Qing held the folded fan in both hands, turned around and bowed to apologize.

Zhou Gaoyang knew Gu Jingxuan very well and understood that it must not be true, as there were not many people who disdained his death.

He kicked Feng Qing away and cursed, "Get lost...what nonsense are you talking about!"

Gu Jingxuan ignored him, and Feng Qing, who was mumbling, said to Zhou Gaoyang: "Boss, Lord Wei's bastard son Wei Yunfan is not here.

Moreover, besides Wei Linlang and Wei Yunfan, I remember that Lord Wei also had a concubine's daughter.

I once met Lord Wei's concubine's daughter in Yingsong Tower.

I just searched twice this time, but didn’t find Wei Yunfan and Miss Wei.”

Zhou Gaoyang immediately asked, "Really?"

Both Wei Yunfan and Wei Youyi are extremely low-key and rarely walk around Fengyao City.

However, as for Wei Yunfan, Zhou Gaoyang remembered that he had met him once in Chengqian Hall in the palace a few days ago.

However, Wei Yunfan kept his head down at that time.

Zhou Gaoyang had already shrunk into a corner and didn't notice Wei Yunfan's appearance at all.

Not to mention the boudoir girl Wei Youyi.

Gu Jingxuan said, "Really, Boss, I have met Miss Wei in Yingsong Tower."

Everyone in the mansion died, but the concubines' sons and daughters were missing?

Zhou Gaoyang frowned.

"Admiral Zhou, Admiral Zhou..."

A soldier ran in hurriedly and whispered something into Zhou Gaoyang's ear.

Zhou Gaoyang had an expression of shock and disbelief on his face, and he looked at Gu Jingxuan and Feng Qing and said.

"The Fahua Temple sent someone to report that Princess Zhuxing was killed last night..."
