Several horses came "kick-kick-kick" from a distance. In front of them was a young man and woman, and behind them was an old couple.

The young man and woman are sitting on the horse. They are extremely handsome and have clear posture. They are simply a pair of golden boys and girls, attracting the attention of passers-by.

"Miss Xianxian, the Three Princes' Mansion is ahead," the young man said.

The young man is Yang Qian. He has changed into men's clothes and looks handsome and high-spirited.

At that time, the river he jumped off happened to be the upper reaches of the Tianlong River. He was later rescued by Xianxian and others, and then he followed Xianxian's boat to the Tianlong Emperor's capital to dock.

After discovering that Xianxian was an immortal seedling on the ship, he revealed his identity as a distinguished guest of the Three Princes' Mansion and suggested that Xianxian join him in the Three Princes' Mansion and participate in the Immortal Sect's selection of seedlings, so that they can go to Qingyuan Sect to cultivate together.

Being able to practice cultivation is the dream of countless ordinary people in the mortal world, and Xianxian is no exception. Although Uncle Gao and Grandma Li are reluctant to part with it, for the sake of Xianxian's future, they naturally give their full support.

Wearing a tulle on her face, Xianxian looked at the mansion at the end of the road, nodded and said, "Looking at the exterior of this palace, it doesn't look like a royal palace."

"Yes, His Highness the Third Highness does not seek ostentation, and his life is extremely simple... Hey, something seems to have happened in the mansion..."

Yang Qian's spiritual sense was extremely sharp, and his sensing range was extremely large. He was still some distance away from the Three Princes' Mansion, and he had already noticed that something big had happened in the mansion today.

When he got off his horse in front of the palace, a royal horse attendant came up to him and took the horse rope from Yang Qian's hand.

"Master Yang is back?!" Ma Shi asked in compliment.

"Exactly. I wonder what happened in the house?" Yang Qian asked

"Someone sneaked into the house last night..."

boom!

Before he finished speaking, a sword suddenly appeared in Ma Shi's hand. Chill suddenly hit him, and the sword light exploded out of thin air, swallowing Yang Qian instantly.

The horse servant succeeded with his sword and immediately flew away.

Xianxian and others didn't have time to scream, they were all stunned! Unexpectedly, Yang Qian, who was still alive just now, would be cut into pieces by the sword light in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, a voice came from the curtain of sword light: "Wait, I haven't let you go yet."

A ray of light disappeared in an instant, and the horse attendant a hundred meters away felt like being shocked by an electric shock in the air. He fell down and fainted immediately.

Xianxian, Uncle Gao, and Grandma Li looked at this scene in shock. A chill came to their hearts, and their whole bodies began to tremble unconsciously.

In the Third Prince's Mansion, the atmosphere was solemn and filled with tears.

The corpses of nearly a hundred young geniuses were laid out on the martial arts training ground, covered with white cloth. Countless people looked at the tragic scene in front of them and were heartbroken.

Each young man carries the heavy trust of his family, and his death breaks the hearts of many families and relatives!

"Your Highness... I have neglected my duties! Please punish me severely!"

Ye Guang, Zhou Hai, Wu Zhi, Sun Jie and others all knelt on the ground, crying bitterly, with tears streaming down their faces.

The Third Prince's Mansion, which had such a powerful force, was actually sneaked into and assassinated nearly a hundred young geniuses overnight. Such a thing is simply unbelievable and completely unimaginable!

"..."

Looking at this tragic scene, Long Hao burst into tears. He was speechless, choked, and fell to his knees in a faint.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

Everyone was shocked and quickly helped Long Hao up.

"You must... you must catch the murderer! If you don't avenge this revenge, you will never be punished!" Long Hao gritted his teeth and said with a flush on his face.

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "Your Highness, I caught a murderer!"

"Young Master Yang! You...you're back?!" Wu Zhi raised his head and said in surprise.

"Yes, I encountered some accidents outside and delayed my trip. I just returned to the palace gate and met someone dressed as a horse attendant from the palace to assassinate me, but I stopped him!"

Yang Qian threw the assassin in his hand in front of Wu Zhi.

Said: "I have taken out the poison from his mouth, and he is now incapable of committing suicide. You can interrogate him."

Everyone stared at the assassin with a fierce glare. If eyes could kill, I'm afraid that was the case at this moment.

Everyone wanted to eat him alive.

Ye Guang took a step forward, stretched out his hands, and used the cruelest method of splitting muscles and bones, and shouted: "Say! Who sent you here?!".

"Ho ho... ah ah..."

The assassin groaned in agony and rolled on the ground like a dog.

"Say it quickly!!!" Ye Guang drank in his mouth and added a little more strength to his hands.

"..."

The assassin was extremely tough and even after being tortured for a long time, he didn't say a word.

"Put him in the sky prison first and let me torture him!" Ye Guang said harshly.

Two palace guards immediately took the assassin away.

"Report! The supervisor is here!" a palace guard shouted.

Everyone looked and saw Guan Zheng, Director of the Criminal and Health Department, leading Zhao Yu and Li Wei Zheng, hurrying over from a distance.

"Your Highness, I'm late!" Guan Zheng said immediately when he saw Long Hao.

"Sir, have you found out any clues? We just caught an assassin here, but the torture has not yielded any results yet." Long Hao asked, and by the way, he told Yang Qian about catching an assassin.

"Caught a killer?! Great! We must hurry up and interrogate. At present, we have not been able to determine who did it. Moreover, similar tragedies occurred in the Grand Prince's Palace and the Fifth Prince's Palace. Among them, the loss in the Grand Prince's Palace The most tragic thing is that they lost nearly two hundred people! The Fifth Prince's Mansion also lost about a hundred people." Guan Zheng said with a trembling voice.

"What?!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Everyone originally thought that this matter was most likely a major crime committed by the Grand Prince's Palace and the Fifth Prince's Palace. Unexpectedly, it turned out that their losses were also extremely heavy, and the Grand Palace's losses were twice as much as those of the other two palaces.

This made the people in the Three Princes' Mansion find it extremely incredible!

"By the way, where is Mr. Li?!"

Guan Zheng asked anxiously. The main reason he came here was to ask Li Yun for help.

When he mentioned Li Yun, Long Hao was shocked!

"Master Li... hurry up, send someone to see how the situation is over there?!" Long Hao said anxiously to Wu Zhi.

"yes!"

"Let's go!" Guan Zheng, Li Wei and Zhao Yu said at the same time.

"Okay, then I'll help you three!" Wu Zhi said.

Li Wei felt relatively calm and went to Zhongzhihou Mansion with Guan Zheng and Zhao Yuchi.

When he left for the Criminal and Health Department early in the morning, Li Yun had already informed him of the truth.

However, after he arrived at the Criminal and Health Department, he learned that the same thing had happened in the Fifth Prince's Mansion.

This made him feel a little strange, and thought to himself: "Why do assassins appear in the residence of His Highness the Fifth Prince?"

"Brother Li, I remember that you also live in the residence of Marquis Zhongzhi, right?" Zhao Yu asked.

"Yes, I and the people from Tingchao City are currently living there. We go to the Criminal and Health Department before going out in the morning. Everything is normal."

"That's good. I didn't expect that such a tragedy would happen in the imperial capital. It can be described as a bloody day!" Zhao Yu sighed.

"Could it be...that it was done by foreign enemies?" Guan Zheng thought.

Three royal palaces were attacked at the same time, and the victims were all young geniuses who would become the pillars of the country in the future. This had to arouse people's suspicion.

"It makes sense. You must know that under the rule of the Qingyuan Sect, there are other mortal countries, and their young geniuses are also faced with the matter of selecting seedlings for the Immortal Sect. If someone really wants to weaken the enemy's future combat power, maybe they will Come up with this plan." Zhao Yu agreed.

Li Wei nodded, this possibility is indeed possible, and it is not small.

"However, if this is the case, once the Qingyuan Sect discovers the country's actions, they will face the wrath of the Immortal Family, and I'm afraid they will lose more than they gain!" Guan Zheng thought for a while, then shook his head.

The three of them flew all the way and soon arrived at the Zhongzhihou Mansion.

Li Yun had already come out and shouted: "Uncle Guan, Uncle Zhao, father!"

"Master Li! Something bad has happened!" Guan Zheng shouted.

"What's the matter?"

"All three princes' palaces were attacked last night, and more than four hundred young men died! Except for Yang Qian who caught a murderer in the three princes' palaces, there are no other clues." Guan Zheng said simply.

Li Yun was slightly startled, "Yang Qian is back? Why did something happen to the Fifth Prince's Mansion?!"

"Has uncle ever checked the detailed identity of the deceased?" Li Yun seemed to realize something.

"You mean...the true identity of the dead boy?"

"That's right! They are the same young warriors who died, but there are still big differences. For example, their identity, cultivation level, time of death, etc. Only after we find out clearly can we make a judgment based on this."

"This...makes sense. We received their report. Since there were so many dead people, we didn't even think of checking every corpse. We were really negligent!" Zhao Yu said regretfully.

"I believe that the Third Prince's Palace will not report false cases, but we must find out the actual situation of the deceased in the Grand Prince's Palace and the Fifth Prince's Palace. Once we understand it, I believe the results will be self-evident." Li Yun said calmly.

"Thank you, Master, for reminding me!" Guan Zheng and others turned to leave.

"Uncle, wait a minute."

"Master, what else can you say?"

"I'm afraid this matter will involve a battle for the throne. It's better for the Criminal and Health Department not to get too involved!" Li Yun sighed.

"This...so many people died, shouldn't someone be responsible for this?"

"Uncle, these dead people are just chess pieces to the three His Highnesses. The power of the Criminal Guards cannot shake them. Since the Holy Emperor lets them compete with each other, sooner or later a winner will be decided. No matter what means they use, it is actually part of the competition. If you get involved too deeply, I am afraid that not only will it be useless to you, but even the Holy Emperor will not support you! Have you forgotten the lesson of my father's demotion? "?" Li Yun said.

After hearing this, Guan Zheng and the other three fell into deep thought.

"Sir, I think what Mr. Li said is very true. This matter was most likely done by one of them, but no matter who it is, no matter what he does, it is within the scope of competition defined by the Holy Emperor. Suppose If we intervene too deeply, the balance will be destroyed, which may be something the Holy Emperor does not want to see." Zhao Yu said.

Guan Zheng pondered for a long time and sighed: "Young Master is right...it's a pity...so many fresh lives and budding stamens have withered before they bloom!"

"Yun'er, do you think we still need to check?" Li Wei asked.

"It's not necessary at all! You just need to put a curfew in the city for a few days, search for assassins, put up posters for anyone with clues to report, etc. By doing this, you can be considered as explaining something."

"Sir, do you already understand who did this?" Guan Zheng suddenly asked.

"To be honest with my uncle, I do already know, and there is direct evidence that he committed the case. However, I believe that he will not be the final winner in the fight for the heir," Li Yun replied.

"Young master said this, but it comforts me. If this person is really allowed to snatch the crown prince's position in the end, then God has no eyes!" Guan Zheng said happily.

"Uncle, don't worry. If this person really wins the throne, I won't agree. I will definitely take action to get rid of him in the future." Li Yun said with emotion.

"Thank you, sir!"

Guan Zheng's eyes flashed, he said goodbye to Li Yun resolutely, and returned to Xingtiansi with Li Wei and Zhao Yu.
