Chapter 105: Li Ru's Death

Chen Pingwu did not show any dissatisfaction with Feng Yewu's questioning, but silently lowered his head, his eyes sinking into a gloom.

And in a corner of the county office, an officer and soldier dressed in an official mansion with his face hidden under the brim of an official hat trembled slightly after hearing Chen Pingwu's narration.

Then taking advantage of everyone's inattention, he quietly walked to the dungeon.

No one noticed that his knife was different from the others.

Feng Yewu looked at Chen Pingwu, who looked tired, and said softly.

"The son of the world has a meritorious role in saving the driver, and he has worked hard, so let's rest."

Chen Pingwu received the order and left silently.

It wasn't until there were only four people left in the back hall, Feng Yewu, Lu Jue, and Wei Nanqi, Sun Changxi, that Lu Jue asked.

"Your Majesty, now that Li Ru and King Pingyi's secret letter has been destroyed, it is difficult to convict King Pingyi with only a letter from this county order."

Feng Yewu thought silently, and Wei Nanqi on the side also opened his mouth to mention.

"That girl must be the daughter of the King of Pingyi, the minister feels that this matter is explained by the prince alone, there are still many loopholes, in case the two of them discuss it..."

After all, this matter involves the life and death of King Pingyi, and Wei Nanqi's concerns are normal, and it is really a bitter plan played by Chen Pingwu and Wang Jia.

When Feng Yewu heard this, she shook her head slightly, her eyebrows still locked.

"There are a lot of cliffs around Yanwu County, if you are seriously injured and fall, the possibility of survival is too small, this matter is lonely I feel that Chen Pingwu is not lying, then Yang Guang and I have also seen it, he is seriously injured, it is difficult for ordinary people to hit him so hard."

Lu Jue and Feng Yewu both knew Yang Guang's skills, and now that they think about it, after Yang Guang killed those mysterious people that day, he was also seriously injured, and the sadness he felt when he entered the prison was not like pretending.

"All Lone thinks about now is to interrogate this county order to see if there is any more evidence on him."

As soon as Feng Yewu finished speaking, suddenly a jailer broke in in a panic and said cowardly kowtow.

"The Emperor... Your Majesty, Lord Fang... That Fang Yang was killed in prison. ”

"What!"

The jailer's words immediately shocked several people in the back hall.

Fang Yang is dead?

Although Wei Nanqi and Sun Changxi did not have many people, they were able to surround this small county government.

In such a public view, Fang Yang was actually killed, is this worth it?

Feng Yewu was shocked and angry, and asked.

"Who did it?"

The jailer was so frightened that he couldn't come up with a reason for a while.

"Let's take a look."

Feng Yewu didn't have the patience to wait for the jailer to explain, got up and led everyone to the dungeon.

... ...

In the carriage outside the yamen, Chen Pingwu came back and found that Wang Jia had woken up at this moment, and sighed lightly.

"Miss Wang, did I wake you up?"

Wang Jia smiled weakly and shook her head gently.

"When Master Fang Caiwei came to deliver the message, I woke up."

Chen Pingwu was silent, and there was silence in the carriage.

After a moment, Wang Jia asked softly.

"Can the prince say?"

Chen Pingwu nodded slightly, his eyes deliberately avoiding Wang Jia's gaze, slightly guilty.

"Miss Wang, thank you for your willingness to help me hide it."

On that day, Chen Pingwu held Wang Jia in his arms, looked at Yang Guang, whose personality had changed greatly, and fell under the cliff in a panic under his step-by-step pressure.

Later, as he preached, the two were rescued by a fisherman.

Wang Jia's pale face smiled slightly, and the expression in his eyes was complicated, and he was silent.

There was silence in the carriage again, and suddenly there was a commotion in the palace, and many officers and soldiers guarding the door hurriedly ran in.

Wang Jia asked softly.

"What happened?"

Chen Pingwu also looked puzzled, looked at the figure outside the carriage, and shook his head slightly.

Just as Wang Jia was about to say something, suddenly Chen Pingwu raised his hand to interrupt, his eyes showed vigilance, and he said softly.

"Someone's coming!"

At this moment, the officers and soldiers outside all entered the mansion one after another, and for a time the entire street was empty, Chen Pingwu nervously held the long sword in his hand and blocked Wang Jia behind him.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and an officer and soldier were seen dodging in.

Chen Pingwu watched the man take off his official hat, and immediately drew his sword and looked at him with a complicated expression.

And Wang Jia, who was behind Chen Pingwu, was also shocked when he saw the appearance of the officers and soldiers, showing a trace of cowardice in his eyes, and subconsciously leaned behind Chen Pingwu, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

"The prince doesn't need to panic."

The officers and soldiers who entered the carriage were Yang Guang, and when he saw Chen Pingwu with a guarded face, he glanced coldly at Wang Jia, who was trembling behind him, and said expressionlessly.

When Chen Pingwu heard this, he hesitated for a moment in his eyes before putting away his long sword.

Seeing this, Wang Jia nervously pulled the corner of Chen Pingwu's clothes, and shook his head nervously when he turned his head to look at him.

Chen Pingwu smiled slightly, there was some bitterness in his smile, and there was also some self-deprecation, and he comforted Wang Jia softly.

"It's okay, if he really kills us, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to draw my sword."

Although Wang Jia still has lingering palpitations, she can only acquiesce.

Chen Pingwu didn't ask Yang Guang much, but just looked at the mansion through the carriage and asked suspiciously.

"What's going on inside?"

"The county order is dead."

Yang Guang replied lightly, but Chen Pingwu, who listened, frowned.

He naturally guessed that most of this was done by Yang Guang.

"This is also my father's order?"

Yang Guang didn't speak, and after Chen Pingwu's inquiry, he raised his eyes and swept Wang Jia again, nodding slightly.

... ...

In the dungeon, Feng Yewu and the others stood outside Fang Yang's closed door, looking at Fang Yang who was limp inside, he had been breathing for a long time.

Wei Nanqi looked at his subordinates on the side, motioned to open the prison door, and then walked in with Lu Jue and Sun Changxi.

After examining Fang Yang's body, the three of them walked out with gloomy faces.

Feng Yewu asked coldly.

"Any clues?"

Wei Nanqi and Sun Changxi are from Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, and they are naturally proficient in the autopsy, while Lu Jue is extraordinary and can have more interpretations of injuries.

Wei Nanqi and Sun Changxi glanced at each other and kowtowed.

"The county order was broken all over the body, and the joints were shattered, and finally suffocated to death."

Fang Cai examined Fang Yang's corpse up and down, all the joints of his body were broken, and the methods of the perpetrator were extremely cruel and terrifying.

When Feng Yewu heard this, his eyes turned to Lu Jue on the side, hoping that he could add something.

Lu Jue took Feng Yewu's inquiring gaze and said softly.

"It's not broken, it's crushed."

Lu Jue's words made Wei Nanqi and Sun Changxi shocked in their hearts, how hard the joints of people were, crushed with their bare hands, it was too appalling.

"Master Lu, how can you be sure that it was crushed?"

Wei Nanqi was not embarrassed by Lu Jue, but what he said was too scary.
