Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family - Chapter 631 Shocking
Li Shuang stepped forward at night: "Old King Huai and my father have always been friends. I am here to see him off on behalf of my father."
The soldier did not retract his outstretched hand. "Officials from the three ministries are all inside investigating the scene. Princess, His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, it is indeed inconvenient for the two of you to go in."
Li Shuangwan came sincerely to see old King Huai off.
She also wanted to see how the criminals managed to knock out so many people in an instant.
"Okay, in that case, we won't go in."
Li Shuangwan and Gu Xingyan were turning around to leave.
"Let the princess and the ninth prince come in."
When Li Shuangwan heard the voice, he turned around and saw that it was his grandfather's old subordinate, Meng Yulin, the current Minister of the Dali Temple.
If she were Li Shuangwan now, she would call him Uncle Meng: "Master Meng."
Meng Yulin nodded calmly: "What is the princess holding in her hands?"
"The white fox has a keen sense of smell, so maybe it can smell something different. I'll bring it over to have a look."
Meng Yulin hummed and looked at Gu Xingyan: "Your Highness the Ninth Prince is also interested in the case of the extermination of my family in Beijin?"
"The old King Huai pleads for the people and puts the lives of the people first. He deserves respect from everyone."
Meng Yulin made way for her. The old man treasured his granddaughter who was lost and found again.
There were so many people from the three major government offices, Jingzhao Prefecture, the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple, but they had no clue at all. Maybe the white fox in her hand could really discover something.
Li Shuangwan and Gu Xingyan walked towards Prince Huai's Mansion together.
Prince Huai's Palace is very large, twice as large as the original Prince Heng's Palace.
There are pavilions, towers, rockery and flowing water, and twelve pairs of inverted golden palace lanterns hanging under the nine-turn corridor. The layout is refreshing and elegant, which shows that King Huai was a person who loved life very much.
Even though the Prince Huai's Mansion has long faded from people's sight, it still has much deeper heritage than the average aristocratic family.
As soon as the two stepped into the backyard, a strong smell of blood hit their noses.
There were corpses next to the rockery and by the pond.
Those people were basically soldiers from Prince Huai's palace, so there were dozens of corpses piled together in one place.
They were probably on patrol when they were suddenly knocked unconscious by something, fell to the ground, and then had their throats cut.
The technique was skillful and he killed the person with one blow.
Just as Uncle Li said, there was no sign of any fighting or struggling.
What kind of drug can do this?
Li Shuangwan's face was pale and his hands were clenched into fists.
The white fox seemed to sense the strangeness in the mistress's mood and began to become restless in her arms.
Gu Xingyan reached out and gently held her hand.
Her hands were cold.
Gu Xingyan knew what she was thinking of when she saw the corpses all over the ground, and he also knew that she would think of these things, so he followed her.
He whispered, "Don't think too much about it. It won't happen again."
Li Shuangwan took a deep breath. There was a thick layer of calluses on the palms of his hands, which pressed against the thin calluses on her palms, gradually calming her heart.
The two went to King Huai's room.
The bodies of the old King Huai and the young King Huai had been carried out and placed in the open space in front of the house.
The two were chopped to pieces, with their internal organs exposed.
The flesh on his body is in pieces.
Many people vomited yellow bile after just one look.
The scene inside the house was horrifying, with blood splattered everywhere.
There were even many small pieces of body and flesh.
Without an irreconcilable hatred, it is impossible to chop a person into pieces like this!
Li Shuangwan felt as if a piece of his heart was being cut out.
Since Emperor Jingzhang ascended the throne, the old King Huai rarely appeared in public.
In the entire Prince Huai's Mansion, there are only him and the sickly little Prince Huai, and they have long faded from the sight of the world.
The great-grandparents and grandchildren just want to live in peace.
All the servants in the mansion were killed in their sleep.
Corpses were carried out one after another and filled the entire yard.
Bai Hongxian, Zhang Maozheng and Meng Yulin all had sad faces.
After much difficulty, we finally found out the truth about Fu Chenhui's death and gave an explanation to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Daliang delegation.
I thought I could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
As a result, he just breathed a sigh of relief halfway, but now it was all the way to the top of his head.
The old King Huai was ninety-eight years old, and the young King Huai was only a child of ten years old.
These two, one old and one young, will have a deep hatred against each other.
The two of them died in such a tragic way.
The royal palace was wiped out, what a big case!
They had to solve the case as soon as possible even if they had to go without food or sleep.
Yesterday was the wedding day of Lu Dongqing and the eldest daughter of the Hu family. The whole city was empty as people went to watch the ceremony. There was not even a single eyewitness.
What’s even more bizarre is that after killing so many people, there was no sound at all.
"My three lords, the old King Huai served Northern Jin his entire life, but his entire family was brutally murdered by vicious means. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered that you must solve the case within ten days." Cai Zhong led two young eunuchs to convey Ling Heng's order.
The three of them were even more worried now.
The detectives were searching for clues carefully, but there was not a single valuable clue.
All we know is that there were about a dozen murderers who took advantage of the cover of night to sneak into the mansion and kill people.
But the prince gave the order.
Bai Hongxian was in a dilemma: "If we use smoke to knock out the servants sleeping in the house, we can do it. But these patrolling soldiers are all outside. How can we knock out more than a dozen patrolling soldiers at once in such an open space?"
"The food was also checked and there was nothing wrong with it. No drugs such as drugs were found."
Zhang Maozheng also had a worried look on his face. He had been the Minister of Justice for more than 20 years, and had never encountered such a big case.
"What is it that can knock everyone out in an instant?" Meng Yulin was so anxious that bubbles appeared on the corners of his mouth.
Several people looked at each other, all of them at a loss.
Li Shuangwan and Gu Xingyan looked around the entire Prince Huai's Mansion. Everywhere there were yamen runners collecting corpses and police chiefs investigating cases.
The two finally went to the kitchen, where someone was checking the food ingredients and found no problems.
I went to check the water tank, and there was not a drop of water in it.
Li Shuangwan frowned slightly.
Gu Xingyan asked: "What's wrong? What did you find?"
"Xing Yan, don't you find it strange? In such a large palace like the Huai Palace, there are hundreds of people from the master to the servants. How could the water tank not be full of water?"
"You mean the problem is the water?"
One of the people who was checking the scene came over and asked, "Princess, are you saying that the murderer put drugs in the water? But water is also needed for cooking. When we came, there was still some water in the water tank. We checked it and there is no problem."
"How much is left?"
"Not much, maybe half a jar. We checked and found no drugs. And our people were thirsty just now, and several of them drank it, and they were fine."
"A small half tank of water?"
"Yes. Princess, do you still think the problem lies with the water?"
Li Shuangwan thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure. I only know that a person can go without food for a day, but not without water for a day."
"And that small half tank of water is probably only used for cooking. People may not drink the water in the tank. Usually they get it directly from the well."
