In the morning, he was still talking to them in the burned Protectorate's mansion, and they were killed at noon......

Who the hell is the murderer?!

It's so elusive!

Thinking of this, Ma Wenliang couldn't help but feel a chill in his back.

On the side, the officials and servants were busy, busy checking the cause of death of the five members of the Shangguan family, and at the same time recording confessions for the guards and subordinates at the scene.

Most of the guards and subordinates of the Shangguan family still stayed in the other courtyard.

First, they are all important people around the master, they are quite relied on by the master, and the relationship with the master is still good, and they are unwilling to leave the master's body behind.

Second, many of the guards were injured when they blocked the Blood Moon, and some even died on the spot, and they couldn't leave here for a while.

Regarding the inquiries of the officials, those guards and subordinates did not hide it, and told the officials everything they knew, including the conversation between Blood Moon and Shangguan Mingyue.

Now that the master is dead, they don't think about what is right or wrong to fight with the Yue family, but try to provide more clues so that Jing Zhaoyi can solve the case.

After hearing the report of the officer, Ma Wenliang's face was shocked, and he called the guards again and personally confirmed its authenticity.

After confirming it, Ma Wenliang sighed in his heart: Is this self-inflicted, or is there evil retribution?

Next, Ma Wenliang sent officials to guard here, wrote his own memorabilia, and hurried into the palace to see the emperor.

……

Palace.

Long Shitian had already heard about the Shangguan family's massacre for the first time, and he was already uneasy......

More and more, he felt that he had provoked the wrong people.

According to the other party's ability, if he really comes to settle accounts with him, he may also die in the unknown.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Long Shitian felt.

In order to prevent Long Yuxing and Gong Ningxia from discovering that something was wrong with him, he left Lingyun Palace and hurried back to the imperial study.

The Imperial Study.

Ang Lee hurried in.

"Your Majesty, Jing Zhaoyi is here to see you. ”

"Xuan ...... Hurry up!" Long Shitian hurriedly said.

Soon, Ma Wenliang hurriedly followed Ang Lee.

As soon as he was about to perform the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, he heard Long Shitian say urgently: "Don't care about these false courtesies, tell me quickly, have you found anything?" Can you tell who did it?"

"Back to Your Majesty's words......"

Ma Wenliang described the situation at the scene.

"I heard the guards at the scene say that the murderer was the killer of the Ghost Palace, and Miss Shangguan did spend money to hire the killer of the Ghost Hall to assassinate Yuecheng before, and the killer of the Ghost Hall asked Shangguan Mingyue for the rest of the money at that time, and Shangguan Ming did not deny it. The killer said that someone else hired him to kill the Shangguan family. This is the confession of those guards, please look at it, Your Majesty. ”

As he spoke, Ma Wenliang handed over his confession along with those confessions.

Li An hurriedly took it, and then handed it to Long Shitian.

Long Shitian eagerly opened those confessions and took a quick look......

For a long time, Long Shitian put down the papers in his hand a little weakly, and looked ahead in a daze with a dull look......

"You say, is the killer hired by the Yue family to kill the Shangguan family?"

Ma Wenliang blinked, and then said in a cautious tone: "Your Majesty, this is not easy to guess. ”

"Ang Li, what do you think?" Long Shitian looked at Ang Li on the side.

Li An also blinked, then bowed, and his tone was equally cautious: "Your Majesty, this is really hard to guess. The current evidence can only prove that the Shangguan family was killed by the killer of the Ghost Palace, and who hired him is only known to the people of the Ghost Palace. ”

"......" A sigh flashed in Long Shitian's eyes, and then he waved his hand weakly and said, "Okay, you guys go out and let me be quiet." ”

"Yes. ”

Li An and Ma Wenliang quietly retreated.

In the study, only Long Shitian was left.

Long Shitian stared blankly ahead, thinking carefully about everything that had happened during this time......

The more I think about it, the more messy my brain becomes.

Now, what he wants to know most is not who hired a killer to kill the Shangguan family, but what he wants to know most is how he should deal with your current impasse......

The spies he sent out reported that the Yueqicheng family did not leave the capital and stayed in the original mansion.

It stands to reason that they killed so many officers and soldiers and four Protector Spirits, he should send troops to kill them.

However, the other party stayed where he was so fearless, but he didn't dare to act rashly.

He thought about it, in the current situation, it seemed a little unwise to go against the Yue family again.

It seems that he is going to make peace with the Yue family.

Although he was a little embarrassed and unwilling, he knew what was more important as an emperor.

Fortunately, now, he also has a staircase to go down.

That is, Shangguan Mingyue did hire a killer to assassinate Yue Chengcheng, and he can express himself to the world, he had mistakenly believed the slander of the Shangguan family before, and wrongly blamed the father and son of the Yue family......

"Someone. ”

Ang Lee hurried in.

"Go to Empress Xuan and the Thirteen Princes to see me. Long Shitian said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Li An nodded and was about to withdraw, but Long Shitian stopped him again......

"Wait a minute. ”

Long Shitian hesitated for a moment before he said.

"Forget it, I'm going to Fengqi Palace now, and you go and ask the Thirteen Princes to go to Fengqi Palace. ”

As he spoke, Long Shitian got up and strode out.

……

Fengqi Palace.

For Long Shitian's arrival, Zhuge Zhaoyun was a little surprised.

However, she didn't ask much, and after asking Long Shitian for peace, she silently accompanied her to drink tea.

Long Shitian took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and then spoke a little embarrassedly, telling Zhuge Zhaoyun what happened in Shangguan's family and his decision.

Zhuge Zhaoyun listened calmly.

She had heard about the Shangguan family two hours ago, and she had already been shocked.

As for the emperor's decision, it was also expected by her.

Although Long Shitian is sometimes too arbitrary, he is still a smart person.

“…… I hope that the queen can help me persuade Yan'er later, and let him help me mediate it. After all, as a prince, the royal family is in trouble, and it is not good for him. And if the royal family is friendly with the Yue family, it will be of great benefit to him. ”

"The concubine understands, don't worry, the concubine will persuade Yan'er. Zhuge Zhaoyun said lightly.

"It's great that the Queen can think that. Long Shitian's expression relaxed slightly.

Soon, the eunuch's announcement sounded outside the door.

"His Royal Highness the Yan King has arrived—"

Long Yuyan strode in, and then reluctantly saluted the emperor and queen with a calm face: "The sons and daughters see the father and the queen mother. ”

Ever since hearing the news of the death of Moon Fall City, Long Yuyan was in a very bad mood.

Not to mention that he wanted to go out to inspect, but he was grounded by Long Shitian.

Even with resentment, Zhuge Zhaoyun refused to help him.

From yesterday morning to now, he has experienced shock, sorrow, anger, despair, resentment, negativity.
