Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family
Chapter 630: The Entire Family Was DestroyedThe old King Huai smiled on his face which was covered with age spots and wrinkles, and a hand as dry as old tree bark stroked the young King Huai's tender face.
"My child, take a good rest and get well soon. They all call that Doctor Luo the Divine Doctor Luo. With her around, we can rest assured that Grandpa will pass away."
Young King Huai went to hold the old King Huai's hand and said, "Grandpa, where are you going?"
The old King Huai chuckled twice and said, "Grandfather, it's the end. I have to go find your great-grandmother."
Little King Huai's eyes were red: "Grandfather, your great-grandson is with you."
"Nonsense, you are still young and have a lot of time to live, great grandfather..."
The rest of his words came to an abrupt end, as if someone had suddenly grabbed his throat, and King Huai fell headfirst to the ground.
"Great Grandfather..." Young King Huai screamed, and struggled to get up from the bed, trying to help the old man on the ground.
But he didn't expect that he would fall headfirst as well.
There are only two masters in Prince Huai's Mansion.
But the number of servants serving in the inner and outer courtyards totaled nearly a hundred.
They fell one by one, and when the man in black came to finish them off late at night, not a single sound was made.
The whole yard was covered with blood.
It was not until the next day that the vendor who delivered vegetables to Prince Huai's Mansion pushed open the corner door of the backyard as usual. However, no one came out to receive the vegetables.
The moment he stepped into the backyard, he smelled a strong smell of blood. Then he saw the corpses of soldiers all over the ground. He was so scared that he ran to Jingzhao Prefecture to report the case.
When they received the message, Li Shuangwan and Gu Xingyan were in Qinglan Courtyard.
"Xingyan, Jia Cheng and Young Marquis Cui, how long have they been gone? It seems like a long time to me."
Gu Xingyan raised an eyebrow and looked at her: "What? Who are you thinking about?"
Li Shuangwan gave him a glare: "Let's talk serious."
Gu Xingyan snorted twice: "It's been almost a month. The news should be able to be transmitted back to Shengjing in the next two days. I received their letter ten days ago. They have gathered 5,000 people and are ready to start in Ziyang County."
Li Shuangwan said, "I don't know how Cui Jingyu convinced Marquis Jing'an."
"You don't have to convince me. Marquis Jing'an doesn't have many soldiers in his palace. They are of little use in creating this turmoil."
Gu Xingyan raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "But you are so brave that you dare to forge your father's handwriting and write a letter to the deputy general of the Li family army."
Li Shuangwan was not in a relaxed mood: "If not, this will be difficult to accomplish. By the way, Xingyan, Ling Yan should know about the private soldiers Ling Heng placed in Liangshan, right?"
Gu Xingyan sneered: "Not only Ling Yan knows, at this time, I'm afraid that Emperor Jingzhang also knows."
"Emperor Jingzhang? How did he know? Isn't he lying on the bed like a living dead, sleeping for eight or nine hours a day?"
Gu Xingyan smiled meaningfully: "He is an old fox. Does Ling Heng really think he can control him? He is still a little naive. Ha, wait and see, wait for the big show to begin."
At this moment, the housekeeper Uncle Li came running over with a pale face: "Princess, something big has happened!"
Uncle Li followed his grandfather to guard the border. He injured his leg in a war and had to recuperate for a long time. After his grandfather passed away, he stayed in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion as a housekeeper.
As an old soldier who had seen mountains of corpses and seas of blood, Li Shuangwan rarely saw Uncle Li look like this, so he hurriedly asked, "Uncle Li, what happened?"
"The entire Huaiwang Mansion was wiped out! Hundreds of people in the entire Huaiwang Mansion were killed by someone slashing their throats."
Li Shuangwan jumped up from his chair in shock: "What? Destroy the whole family! Then, what about the old and young King Huai?"
"They died the most tragically. Not only were their throats cut, but they were also stabbed several times. The old King Huai was in the young King Huai's room, and his blood was splattered all over the room. It was so tragic. Who had such a deep hatred for them?"
Li Shuangwan's face turned pale instantly. "But, how could there be no noise when so many people were killed? Although the people living on Suzaku Street are all wealthy families, it shouldn't be impossible for no one to hear the noise, right?"
How could it be possible that no one would notice if they killed more than a hundred people?
The housekeeper waved his hands repeatedly: "No, Princess, the people in the mansion were knocked unconscious first, and then the criminals sneaked into the mansion to kill people. There is no sign of any struggle or resistance."
"Knock out? What could knock out hundreds of people in the mansion?"
Li Shuangwan looked at Gu Xingyan.
Gu Xingyan was also shocked. What kind of deep hatred could be so strong that it would wipe out the entire family?
And the layout is so tight.
The housekeeper shook his head. "The case is serious and involves the royal family. It has alarmed the palace. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was furious and immediately ordered the Jingzhao Prefecture, the Ministry of Justice, and the Dali Temple to jointly investigate the case."
"Now the entire Huaiwang Mansion has been surrounded by hundreds of soldiers from the Five Cities Military Division. This is all the news I have heard."
Li Shuangwan's body trembled slightly, remembering that a few days ago, he was still pleading for the people.
A centenarian, together with a group of students, sat in front of the palace in the autumn wind, just to seek justice for the people of Northern Jin.
He also slapped Ling Heng.
The words spoken at that time seem to still ring in my ears, the voice is old, but powerful.
"You damned crown prince! Northern Jin is going to be destroyed! I am an old man, buried up to my neck in the earth, and I will still commit this offense today! If you have the ability, Ling Heng, let them kill this old bone of mine now!"
"When I get to the underworld, I'll have to ask the late emperor what kind of bastard descendants he gave birth to!"
Li Shuangwan asked hurriedly: "Uncle Li, where are my father and brother?"
"He went to the military camp early in the morning and hasn't come back yet. I guess he will be back soon after receiving the news."
"Xingyan, I have to go over and take a look."
In a major case of annihilating an entire family and killing hundreds of people, it is impossible that no clues would be left behind.
Gu Xingyan stood up: "I'll go with you."
The housekeeper said anxiously: "Princess, His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, the Imperial Guards have sealed off Prince Huai's Mansion, so we may not be able to get in."
"Let's go check it out first. By the way, Xingyan, where's the white fox?"
"Why are you looking for it? This little thing is so lazy, I don't know where it is hiding to sleep."
"It has a keen sense of smell, maybe it can help, let's take it with us."
Perhaps knowing that its master was saying bad things about it, the little white fox jumped onto Li Shuangwan's body, showing its two rows of white teeth at Gu Xingyan and grinning.
Li Shuangwan quickly hugged it with both hands.
The Duke's Mansion and Prince Huai's Mansion were not far away, and Li Shuangwan and Gu Xingyan arrived there in just a quarter of an hour.
Just as the housekeeper said, hundreds of people from the Five Cities Military Department surrounded the entire Prince Huai's Palace.
There were many people outside watching the fun.
Many people also had red eyes, which showed that everyone was remembering the kindness shown by King Huai that day.
"It's so tragic. There were more than a hundred people. I heard that they were all killed with one blow. No one survived."
"Not only people, but even the dog in the backyard was killed."
"There's a dog. I heard that even the eggs in the kitchen were scrambled."
Li Shuangwan pushed through the crowd and walked forward.
Gu Xingyan followed beside her.
A soldier at the gate stretched out his hand to stop them: "Princess Ning'an, His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, this is a serious crime scene, please do not enter."
