withered prosperity

Immediately, the jailer with shackles and shackles rushed in, but when they saw the person who was about to be arrested, everyone was dumbfounded.

"What are you looking at, don't drag it on!" Murong Ji pointed at Murong Yu who was still wrapped in his official uniform, and said ruthlessly.

The two arresters looked at each other in blank dismay, but they still didn't dare to disobey Shangfeng's opinion and were ready to step forward to arrest him.

"Wait! Murongji, what are you doing?" Yin Yutang stood up again: "Even if Xiaoyu went...to that place last night and drank some wine, you are making a fuss over a molehill! And the black prison is for It’s a felon, how can you lock Xiaoyu in there?”

"Alright." Murong Ji nodded: "Then lock her up in an ordinary cell."

He was so obedient, as if he was waiting for Yin Yutang's words, which made people even more confused.

"Brother..." Murong Yu sat on the ground and his gaze was distracted: "I seem to be drunk, and I heard that you want to lock me up..."

"You idiot is the one who shuts you up!" The red lines between Murong Ji's eyebrows seemed to be beating, and his whole body was very angry: "I don't know who I offended, don't shut you up in the future, you deserve it if you lose your head! "

"Ah?" Murong Yu looked at him blankly, completely unaware of what he was talking about.

Of course, no one else could understand.

"My lord!" Murong Ji turned around and cupped his hands towards King Cheng: "During the interrogation just now, Bai Lele's personal maid confessed that Bai Lele had an appointment with someone in the side courtyard last night, and that person was his sister-in-law Murong Yu."

Everyone in the Bai family and Yin Yutang said "ah".

"Ah?" Murong Yu was louder than them. "Wait, wait! Why didn't I know about this!"

"The maid said that she personally sent the letter to the county prince's mansion and handed it to you."

"Wait!" Murong Yu jumped up: "What letter, I didn't receive it at all, I last night..."

When she said this, her face froze suddenly.

"You didn't get that letter?"

"Well... I received a letter from Bai Lele just after You o'clock yesterday." Murong Yu tapped her head: "I was in a hurry to go out and read it in a hurry. They asked me to go to their house when I was ugly..."

"you go?"

"Of course not!" Murong Yu looked at him strangely: "You know, I hate Bai Lele, and Bai Lele hates me even more. She asked me out probably because she was looking for an opportunity to plot against me, so I don't want to go!"

The entire hall was silent.

"What's the matter?" Murong Yu's heart was flustered, and somehow he lacked confidence: "There is a person who hates you very much, and suddenly invites you to her house in the middle of the night. Could it be something good?"

"Bai Lele is dead."

"Oh! She's dead... what?" Murong Yu's eyes widened: "Dead?"

"Yes, while you were lying on Hua Lian's lap, drinking wine and listening to the music, someone killed you at the place where you were asked to meet." Murong looked at her coldly: "It's extremely dead." Miserable, not only was his throat cut, but his womb was also dug out."

"I didn't lie on Lian Lian's lap! No! I have nothing to do with Bai Lele's death, I didn't go to her house at all!" Murong Yu said incoherently, "Brother, you know it, no matter how much I hate it Bai Lele, it can't possibly have something to do with killing her!"

Although most of the people in the hall were from the Bai family, no one really believed that Murong Yu was the murderer. Even Bai Lele's own father, Bai Linkui, felt that Murong Yu's killing of his daughter seemed unlikely.

"Your Majesty, is there a misunderstanding about this matter?" Bai Linyun said: "Even if Lele made an appointment with the princess, but the princess didn't attend the appointment, maybe it was at that time that he bumped into the real murderer and got hurt!"

"That's right!" Yin Yutang also chimed in: "Don't scare Xiaoyu, just ask her."

"Governor Xue just told someone that Bai Lele is different from the deceased in the previous murder cases." Murong told everyone very unhurriedly: "Although the method is the same, Bai Lele's death was not because of cutting his throat. The murderer disguised the corpse in order to cover up the fatal wound."

"Wait a minute." Yan Hai suddenly said, "Didn't you say that the uterus was not taken away in the murder case before going to Beijing? Why did the county king just say that after Miss Bai was killed, the womb was taken away?"

Murong cast a sideways glance at him, as if he didn't really want to talk to him.

"Yes!" Yin Yutang also questioned: "I just wanted to ask, why did you mention the womb? Didn't they all have their throats cut and died?"

"That was after the lord left the capital. In the last two murder cases, both the victimized women were dug out of their wombs." Murong Ji couldn't help but answer his words: "Since then, there has been no trace of the murderer." Appear again."

Yin Yutang glanced at Yan Hai.

Yan Hai lowered his head, as if he hadn't spoken at all just now.

"Then Governor Xue said something about the fatal injury..."

"Arrow injury." Murong Ji glared at Murong Yu, "An arrow pierced his stomach, and his back was also shattered, it was caused by a strong bow."

"What is an arrow injury?" Bai Linkui finally couldn't bear it anymore, and walked up to Murongji: "Governor Xue found out that my daughter was killed by Murong Yu's bow and arrow?"

Murong Yu was born with supernatural powers, and was able to pull a bow that was as strong as a stone, and everyone in Shangjing knew about it.

"Second Master Bai!" Murong Ji looked down at him coldly, "Even if Murong Yu is indeed suspected now, she is still the princess of my Murong family, and before she is convicted, no one can slander her as the murderer! "

"But..." Bai Linkui glanced at Murong Yu, and suddenly remembered something: "Lele said that when she was in Chaomu Pavilion, Princess Murong shot her with a bow and arrow, almost killing her... "

"So what?"

"What?" Bai Linkui was irritated by his nonchalant expression: "Prince, your princess has always been arrogant and domineering. Who in Shangjing doesn't know? I'm afraid she broke into my Baifu after drinking last night..."

"Your daughter has made an appointment with Murong Yu." Murong Ji reminded him.

"My daughter must be asking her to reconcile. My mother and I often ask her to be more patient. We must get along better with Princess Murong. After all, I will be my sister-in-law in a few days." The more Bai Linkui said, the more he felt that it was possible. "My daughter's skin is thin. If she lowered her profile, she would have to hide behind her back. I made an appointment to meet you later in the courtyard. I didn't expect Princess Murong to commit murder after drinking..."

"Second Master Bai is really quick-witted." Murong Ji sneered, "If you had participated in the imperial examination when you were young, you would have won the gold list, but now you are confined to a square-inch mansion, it really makes me lose my talent! "

"You... good! I will go to the palace to find the emperor, and I will definitely not leave this case to you to investigate! If you bend the law for personal gain, won't my daughter die without peace?"

"Linkui!" Bai Linyun walked over and reprimanded his younger brother: "Everyone in the world knows that the king of Murong County is upright, how can you tarnish his reputation like this."

"Brother! You heard it just now..."

"If the Murong County King wants to bend the law for personal gain, why would he take the princess into custody first?" Bai Linyun interrupted him: "Besides, our Bai family has a child who died this time, and it is impossible to repeat it again and again." And San Yan swallowed his anger, this matter must not be closed sloppily, no matter what the identity of the murderer is, I believe that Murong County King will definitely handle it impartially, so as to comfort Le Zaitian's soul."

This old fox... Murong Ji narrowed his eyes and made a note in his heart.

Even Yin Yutang, who was originally trying to smooth things over, was choked by this sentence and couldn't speak.

"Master Bai, you don't need to provoke me with words, I will definitely find out the truth about this matter." Murong said in a very unhappy way: "Although Murong Yu makes troubles all day long, ten of her courage is not enough to kill someone. I dare to use the iron armor and golden sword on the main hall of my house as a guarantee! So you can rest assured?"

He brought out the iron armor and golden sword, who dares to say that he is not at ease?

"This king also believes in the king of the county." Yin Yutang also said: "You two, please don't make wild guesses, so as not to cause a bigger disturbance."

Bai Linyun tactfully said a few polite words, and left with his younger brother and son first.

Murong Ji and Yin Yutang sent them to the entrance of the hall and watched them go out.

"Your Majesty, this matter is tricky!" Yin Yutang said meaningfully as the two of them stood side by side.

"What are you afraid of!" Murong replied very calmly: "Whoever wants to touch my county palace, let him come and go."

"That's right!" Murong Yu was cold and angry, her face turned pale, "You are so shameless that you dare to falsely accuse me of killing Bai Lele, brother, you have to replace me..."

"Shut up." Murong Ji turned around, "Kneel down."

Murong Yu shut up obediently and knelt down on the ground.

"Are you sober?" Murong was extremely angry and laughed back: "Princess Murong, every night you are drunk and lying in the gentle country, you have a very happy life!"
