Chapter 725 Is the Murderer Also a Noble Person?

Everything seems to be connected, yet vaguely apparent.

Liu Wei lowered his head in thought, while on the other side, Rong Leng had already arrived at the restaurant.

Because the government closed down the store and the battle was huge, the common people were inevitably curious, blocking the door on the first floor and poking their heads inside.

When Rong Leng arrived, he was accompanied by the Yamen servants. The government was doing business, and the rest naturally had to disperse.

Everyone watching the excitement outside was coaxed away.

After the waiting circle was opened, the yamen servant respectfully invited Rong Leng in.

Ouchi bodyguard, with such a status, it is not surprising that the government officials would be attentive to him.

"Sir, it's on the second floor." The yamen servant said, calling the shopkeeper to lead the way in person.

After such a big event, the shopkeeper was already shaken, confused and heartbroken. When he saw someone from the government coming, he immediately wiped his sweat and kept saying: "Mr. Qingtian Mingjian, this is a small shop. But you are really innocent! Not to mention that the princess came in person. Even if a slightly larger official from the capital came to this small place, the little one had to greet him in person! In fact, it was the princess who came, and the little one did not. I don’t know his identity, and I never thought that the princess would have an accident in this store. My lord, my lord, please spare the little one. The little one has the elders above him and the young below him. The whole family depends on the young one to support him. ah……"

"If I were you, I would stop talking nonsense." Seeing Rong Leng's frown, the yamen servant immediately scolded the shopkeeper smartly.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he didn't dare to beg for mercy. He immediately shut up, but his heart and eyes were full of grievance and pity.

Before reaching the second floor, I could smell the faint smell of blood.

Rong Leng was a military commander and was particularly sensitive to the smell of blood. His face moved slightly at this time.

The second floor was also sealed off, and there were even seven or eight government officials stationed in the corridor to guard the place, making sure to ensure the absolute integrity of the scene.

The leading shopkeeper didn't dare to go forward when he got here.

From the incident until now, the second floor has been surrounded by people from the government, and no one is allowed to set foot on it.

When the officials guarding the second floor saw Shangfeng coming, they naturally gave way and looked at Rong Leng and Qin Zhong curiously. Both of them were in plain clothes and couldn't really tell their identities, but they were able to be accompanied by their leader in person. His status is not low either.

Could it be that he was sent by the palace?

Without thinking, someone had already stepped forward and opened the door of the room where the crime occurred.

The head of the Yamen who accompanied Rong Leng asked, "Have you seen any suspicious people return from last night to today?"

The officer shook his head: "Sir, from last night to today, I haven't left even half a step away, but except for the people watching the excitement who looked at each other from a distance at the stairs, there is no suspicious person."

The head of the Yamen nodded and looked at Rong Leng again. He asked this question deliberately for the two imperial guards to listen, to show the rigor of their Jingzhao Yin Yamen's affairs.

According to Mr. Lin, if you can get some favors, get some favors. The matter is within our jurisdiction. Whether our crimes can be punished or not depends on their attitude afterwards.

If the superiors came to investigate and acted like they were trying to clear away the relationship and were eager to get away with the crime, it would make the superiors unhappy and might even endanger their lives.

But if they go up to the peak to investigate, they cooperate properly and Haolai has fulfilled his duties. Even if he is blamed, the crime will not lead to death.

The head of the government office was also exhausted. He originally thought that the incident involving Princess Yuping last time was already debilitating, but he never thought that there would be something more serious.

Princess Yuehai is different from Princess Yuping who died outside the palace before. Who in Kyoto knows that this unruly princess is deeply favored by the emperor and the queen?

Because of her status as the orphan of King Hui, she was more favored than most princesses in the palace. She could be said to be able to get wind and rain. Now that something happened to this one, it was like something happened to the lifeblood of the emperor and queen. , who can be careless about this?

What's more, the emperor ordered the city to be closed down in order to investigate the case.

What an important order this is. Looking back at ancient times, after several generations, the government and the opposition have changed. In addition to the previous dynasty's threat to destroy the country, the previous dynasty's rebels sealed the city to protect themselves. When did the gates of Kyoto remain closed?

And the emperor even ordered that the city gates would not be opened until the case was investigated.

Even the Dowager Empress was prevented from entering the city. What kind of wrath from the power of God was this?

Thinking that Jing Zhaoyin might really be implicated this time, the yamen chief felt a toothache.

The shopkeeper just now said that he has an old man and a young man, but who is not the same?

If things go wrong, the entire Kyoto Yamen will be buried with Princess Yuehai. Then what will happen to their wives, daughters, and their families?

The head yamen servant was thinking wildly and getting tired more and more, while Rong Leng had already entered the side room, looking uncertain.

As Lin Sheng said, there were indeed four corpses in the wing, three maids dressed as maids, and one lady dressed as a young lady.

As for the young lady disguised as her, Rong Leng recognized it with just one glance. She was indeed Princess Yuehai.

Rong Leng couldn't help but think of the time when Yuehai first entered the palace, when she was still an innocent little girl. At that time, Princess Hui and Princess Hui had just passed away. Yuehai, who was inexperienced in the world, was sent to the imperial city, a place where wolves and tigers prey, and did not understand the dangers of the world. She doesn't understand conspiracies, she just sheds tears and cries all day long, but she never loses her true nature as a girl.

After only three years of good study and three bad days of study, with the queen's indulgence, the daughter of Lotus, who had been personally trained by Princess Hui for nearly ten years, finally went astray. The little girl became bullying, unruly and willful.

But no matter how bad Yue Hai is, the crime is not worthy of death. Even if Yue Hai provokes Liu Wei again and again, Rong Leng still doesn't really deal with him.

At the moment, no matter how much displeasure or disdain you have, you can't withstand a cold body.

Walking forward, Rong Leng stretched out his hand and gently closed his eyes.

Death with eyes closed, I'm afraid Yuehai herself never thought that her ending would be like this.

"Sir." Qin Zhong called.

Rong Leng nodded and scanned the room, looking for anything suspicious.

There is a complete meal on the table. The rice is not moved, but a few dishes are moved here and there. The table is divided into four sides, with the same left and right sides, but there is a wine glass on the front and back.

This shows that Yuehai drank with others at the same table.

According to Lin Sheng, Yue Hai should have been the only one in this room until the restaurant was about to close, and the three palace maids entered. Naturally, it was impossible for the princess to drink at the same table with the palace ladies, so those who sat at the same table must have That's the murderer.

Since they can invite the murderer to the table, it means they are familiar with each other.

Yuehai has a loose temperament and is extremely mischievous, but there are very few people who know her outside the palace, because Yuehai also looks down on the common people outside the palace. She only regards herself as a rich man and does not want to be with others, even in the palace. When choosing playmates, you should also choose noble princesses from your mother’s family.

So, since the other party can be allowed to drink with him at the same table, it must be that the murderer is also a person of noble status?

Rong Leng made such a reasonable guess.

Looking at the rest of the room, Rong Leng looked around and saw no murder weapon.

Looking down at Yue Hai's body, there were obvious stab wounds on the abdomen. Judging from the width, it should have been caused by a dagger. The other three palace ladies had fatal injuries in different locations, some on the neck, some on the waist and abdomen, and one even In the vest.
