To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 80 He is here too

  Why didn’t King Kaiyang leave?

  Even if Wei Han was asked this question, he would not be able to give an answer.

  There are so many reasons, anyway, there is nothing to do when I return home.

  But the prince seems to pay special attention to him today, maybe it's time to leave.

  Thinking like this, Wei Han gently put down the wine glass, about to get up.

  At this time, a servant of the palace rushed over, and went straight to King Pingnan: "My lord, something happened!"

   "What's the matter?" King Pingnan was very unhappy and asked suppressing his annoyance.

  Concubine Pingnan's birthday banquet, there were countless people who came to celebrate her birthday. Besides the banquet hall, several small halls were set up separately, and the hall where he could accompany were all prominent people.

   In front of these people, how decent is it for the servants to rush over in a panic.

  But this also made King Pingnan's heart sink, giving birth to an ominous premonition.

  The servants came forward and reported in a low voice: "Old Chen Ge's eldest granddaughter was murdered—"

   "What?" After only hearing the beginning, King Pingnan knocked over his wine glass and let out a sound of shock.

  The hour hand could be heard in the hall, and countless pairs of ears were pricked up. Of course, they still maintained a nonchalant expression, holding a full or empty wine glass to their mouths to pretend.

   "Continue!" King Pingnan sternly ignored the liquor flowing to his hand.

  The servants lowered their voice: "Ms. Chen's body was found under the peony flowers, with a dagger stuck in her body. It is said that the dagger belonged to Miss Luo, the daughter of the Governor Luo..."

  Pingnan Wang supported the edge of the table that was dripping with wine, with a stiff expression.

  The daughter of Governor Luo?

  The amount of information is a bit large.

  Everyone: "..." What did the **** servant say, I can't hear clearly!

   "The body of a maidservant was found in the bamboo forest—"

  King Pingnan got up suddenly, looked for Mr. Chen Ge, and said bravely: "Mr. Chen Ge, something happened to my granddaughter, please follow me to the garden."

  Chen Ge stood up in a daze.

  He is old enough to listen to the excitement, how did the excitement get on his head?

  King Pingnan bowed his hands to Governor Luo again: "The governor also follows me to the past."

   Governor Luo stood up calmly.

  He knew, how could his daughter be missed in such excitement.

  Being a father is really tiresome.

  When everyone saw Governor Luo standing up, they suddenly realized: It seems that Governor Luo's daughter is causing trouble again!

  Notifying Mr. Chen Gel and Governor Luo is not the point, but the point is—King Pingnan looked at the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment with a heavy heart.

  The key point is to invite the investigators to come over, but in this way, things can't be hidden immediately.

   That's all, such a big matter was impossible to hide.

  Pingnan King's heart faltered, and he raised his voice, "Zhao Shangshu also go with me."

  As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions became subtle. When King Pingnan left with the three of them, the hall suddenly became lively.

   "It's fine to call the parents, why call Zhao Shangshu over?"

   "Hiss——Zhao Shangshu is in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, today's incident seems not trivial!"

  The person with clear ears hesitated: "I seem to have heard the word corpse..."

   "No way, how could the friction between the little girls get involved in the corpse?"

   "If it's a small problem, why did you call Zhao Shangshu over?"

  A voice said: "How about—go and see together?"

  The people who heard it were silent for a while, and got up one after another: "Let's go and have a look."

   "My lords—" The stewards of the royal residence who stayed behind were sweating in a hurry, but there were so many adults going to watch the fun together, how could we stop them.

   "This, this—" The stewards of the palace circled around and found Wei Han and the prince who were still sitting upright.

   It is still the crown prince and King Kaiyang who have cultivated themselves!

   Wei Han got up.

   "Uncle Wang is going back?"

   Wei Han glanced at the prince, and said calmly, "Go and have a look."

   Until Wei Han went out, the prince still couldn't recover.

  What happened to this little Uncle Wang today?

  The prince chased him out with surprise.

  The steward of the palace in the solitary living room: "..."

  He should go and have a look too!

   Facing a pale-faced little girl in a garden, Wang Pingnan and others who rushed over looked even uglier.

  Old Chen Ge hissed: "Great Governor, please give me an explanation for today's matter!"

  Luo Dadu didn't show weakness: "The little girl said that it has nothing to do with her, so don't be impatient, Mr. Zhao. I'd better listen to Zhao Shangshu and ask clearly."

   Zhao Shangshu, who was biting the bullet to ask questions, felt bitter.

  He didn't become the Minister of Criminal Justice because he was good at judging cases!

  Now I can only ask questions while waiting for my capable subordinates to arrive.

   "So, when you came to Peony Blossoms, you met Miss Luo who was walking back?"

   Several noble ladies looked at each other and nodded one after another.

   Zhao Shangshu stroked his beard: "That is to say, Miss Luo was the first to arrive here?"

  Governor Luo couldn't help but retort: ​​"How can you draw conclusions so hastily? You can't just say that the little girl is the first to come because no one saw someone coming earlier?"

  The majestic minister of the Ministry of punishment, the questioning is not professional at all!

Old Chen Ge said angrily: "Ling'ai and my granddaughter had a conflict today, and she has a motive; the dagger that stabbed my granddaughter to death belonged to Ling'ai, this is physical evidence; these little girls saw Ling'ai returning from the peony bushes, it can be regarded as Witnesses. Now that there are witnesses, physical evidence, and motives, Governor Luo still thinks that the conclusion that Ling Ai is the murderer is hasty?"

  Zhao Shangshu couldn't help but nodded.

  Chen Ge's analysis makes sense, and he seems to be able to solve cases better than him.

   But Governor Luo only had one sentence: "The little girl says it has nothing to do with her, so it must have nothing to do with her!"

  Even though his daughter is bad in every way, she will never deny it when she gets into trouble.

  Chen Ge was so angry that his beard trembled: "Commander Luo, what you said is ridiculous! There are all witnesses and material evidence, so it's okay if you don't admit it?"

  A cold voice sounded: "I have a few words to say."

   Governor Luo was stunned: "Shenger—"

  Luo Sheng only glanced at Governor Luo, then looked away at the noble women who testified: "Did you see me killing someone with a knife?"

   Several noble ladies shook their heads slowly.

  Luo Sheng raised his chin to Elder Chen Ge: "Elder Ge heard that, they didn't see me murder with their own eyes, what kind of **** witness is this!"

  The noble ladies were immediately embarrassed.

  Bullshit witness... This is too ugly.

   "What about the physical evidence?" Although Mr. Chen Ge was emotional because of the death of his granddaughter, he had gone through the turmoil in the official sea, and he could still maintain restraint in the face of a little girl.

   "Physical evidence?" Luo Sheng raised his eyebrows, "Ge always refers to the dagger that stabbed Miss Chen to death?"

   Speaking of this, she raised her eyebrows and smiled: "But that dagger is not mine."

   "You say it's not right?" Zhu Hanshuang stood in the crowd and couldn't bear to say something.

  Luo Sheng ignored the people who interrupted, and smiled at Zhao Shangshu: "I have never had a chance to say that my gem dagger has long been given away."

  Give someone away?

  Everyone shook their heads secretly.

  This reason is too lame. Could it be said that just giving it to any relative or friend can remove the suspicion?

   "Uh, the person who took my dagger is also here." Luo Sheng looked over the crowd and smiled slightly at Wei Han.
