Chapter 4: The Murder of the County Lord

At night, on a street in Shendu, a magnificent carriage was slowly moving under the escort of a team of officers and soldiers!

On the carriage, the county lord of Anle was leaning against the wall of the carriage and closing his eyes to recuperate, and suddenly, the carriage stopped, and the county lord of Anle couldn't help but open his eyes!

"What's going on? How did it stop? The Lord of Anle asked in the carriage!

No one outside the car answered, and the county lord of Anle was a little angry, and said angrily: "Are all people dead?" Why didn't anyone answer? ”

There was still no sound outside the car, and the county lord of Anle opened the sedan curtain of the carriage angrily, and saw that the entourage guards were all standing in place!

"You're all deaf...... Yes! Before she could finish speaking, she let out an exclamation, and one of the attendants she touched fell to the ground, with a wolf's tooth arrow stuck in her back, and blood was gurgling from the wound!

Just when the county lord of Anle was stunned, on the rooftops on both sides of the road, more than a dozen black shadows galloped forward, and with a few cold flashes, the heads of the entourage and guards who had already been hit by the arrow were all cut off, and the dead bodies fell to the ground immediately, and the blood flowed like an infusion!

More than a dozen black-clothed men and black shadows slowly approached the county lord of Anle, who was already shaking like chaff squatting beside the carriage!

"You guys, what do you want to do? I'm the lord of a country, you...... You ......," said the county lord of Anle tremblingly!

"The county lord? We're killing the county lord! The man in black said coldly!

Swish! Before the words fell, a cold light flashed!

The body of the headless county lord of Anle fell next to the carriage, and the man in black tore off the county lord's white cloak, wrote a few words stained with the county lord's blood, and threw the cloak on the corpse, and then more than a dozen black shadows disappeared into the night, and there was a dead silence around!

In the palace of King Wei, Wu Tingji, the second son of King Wu Chenghei, was anxiously pacing back and forth in the room, and a subordinate hurriedly ran in!

"His Royal Highness, the people from Prince Changping's Mansion said that the Lord of Anle has been gone for a long time!"

"What? How is this possible? Immediately order someone to find it! Wu Tingji said angrily!

"Yes!" The servant exited the room in panic!

As soon as the next person left, Wu Chenghe, the king of Wei, walked in!

"Tingki, what's wrong? Panicked? What do you want to look like? Wu Chengsi said a little angrily!

"Father, the county lord of Anle said today that he wanted to go back to his mother's house to see, he left the house at noon today, and he has not returned at this time, he just came down to report, the prince's mansion of Changping said that the county lord of Anle has returned when he was shining, but now it is three o'clock in the morning, I am worried that the county lord will not have something wrong, right?" Wu Tingji said with some concern!

"What?" Wu Chenghe, the king of Wei, took two steps back and sat down on the chair!

"Father, are you alright?" Wu Tingji stepped forward to support his father and asked with concern!

"This Anle County Lord is a royal prince, although he is usually a little arrogant, and he is not very close to our martial family, if something happens to this, how can we afford to be offended?" Wu Chenghe's face was full of fear!

The father and son suddenly fell into a panic, and they didn't know what to do for a while! The disappearance of the county lord of Anle made the entire Wei Wangfu chaotic, and all the family guards were sent out to look for it, and the mansion was also noisy!

"Report!"

After a long time, a family member ran back out of breath!

"Found the county lord?" Wu Chenghe's father and son asked in unison!

"Back to the prince! She's ......"

"What's wrong with the county lord? Say it quickly! ”

The family didn't dare to say anything in a trembling voice, Wu Tingji walked up to him and pulled him up!

"What the hell is wrong with the county lord?" Wu Tingji asked a little hysterically!

"She's the county lord, she's been killed!" After the family finished speaking, he fell to his knees again!

When Wu Chenghei, the king of Wei, heard Jiading's words, he immediately sat down on the chair!

"It's over! Finished! "King Wu Chenghei of Wei kept muttering!

Although Jia Ding's voice was not loud, it sounded like a thunderbolt in Wu Tingji's ears, and he felt that his blood was surging and he was unstable on his feet!

After a while, Wu Tingji said, "Where is the body of the county lord now?" Take me there! ”

Wu Tingji led people to the place where the Anle County Lord had an accident, and the carriage that the Anle County Lord was riding in was still parked in place, surrounded by the corpses of the entourage guards, but the heads of these corpses were all gone!

Wu Tingji turned over and dismounted, walked quickly to the carriage, and saw the corpse of the county lord of Anle who fell next to the carriage, and like the other corpses, the head of the county lord of Anle was gone!

Two lines of words were written on the cloak on the corpse of the county lord, "The royal family is immoral, arrogant, oppressive and good, and deserves it!" ”

Wu Tingji, the prince of the world, looked at the blood book on his cloak and sighed helplessly! Although Wu Tingji and the county lord of Anle have only been together for a year since the empress gave the marriage, and the county lord of Anle can't help but be short-tempered, and he is also a little unfriendly to Wu Chenghe's family, but after all, it is a husband and wife, Wu Tingji saw the tragic death of the county lord of Anle, and he couldn't help but feel sad for a while, and burst into tears!

After a while, Wu Tingji took the hand of the county lord of Anle, and saw the ring customized by the martial arts family on the county lord's hand, Wu Tingji took off the ring, looked at the county lord's bloodless hand, and slowly put it down!

"Collect the corpse of the county lord! Send it back to the house! Report to Your Majesty tomorrow! Wu Tingji sighed and said!

The subordinate was just about to make a move, when the voice of Wu Chenghei, King of Wei, suddenly came from behind him, "Stop!" ”

Wu Tingji was just about to get on the horse, when he heard his father's voice, he jumped down again, "Father! ”

"You must not touch anything at the scene, Tingji, you immediately follow your father to Gyeonggi Mansion to report the murder of the county lord!" King Wu Chengsi of Wei said softly!

"But...... This ...... "Wu Tingji hesitated!

"Don't do it, let's go!" With that, Wu Chenghe, the king of Wei, pulled Wu Tingji and left the scene!

That night, the news of the death of the county lord of Anle reached the Liang Wangfu, and Liang Wang Wu Sansi also trembled! immediately changed clothes and rushed to the Wei Palace, and saw the grief-stricken Wu Chenghe!

"Heirs mourn!" Wu Sansi pulled Wu Chengsi and said with concern!

"Brother, how is this good?" Wu Chengsi sobbed and said!

"The heir doesn't have to be too sad, the lord of Anle County was killed by gangsters, you have truthfully reported to Gyeonggi Mansion, tomorrow morning I will try my best to exonerate you in front of Your Majesty, presumably Your Majesty will not be angry with you when he thinks of family affection!" Wu Sansi said softly!

Wu Chengsi stopped crying when he heard Wu Sansi say this, and looked up at Wu Sansi, "So, thank you, brother!" ”

In the early morning of the next day, above the court, Empress Wu Zetian heard the news, and immediately took the case, and all the officials in the hall knelt down, panicking for a while!

"Your Majesty is angry, the fact that the county lord of Anle was killed was an accident, and now that the villains are at large, please give Your Majesty an order to investigate thoroughly!" Wu Sansi opened his mouth and said!

"King Wei! I gave the county lord of Anle to marry your family Tingji, and you actually let the county lord go alone at night, and now you are being poisoned by this kind of murder, can you be guilty? Wu Zetian looked at Wu Chengsi angrily and asked!

"The minister is guilty! Guilty of sin! "Wu Chengsi knelt under the hall, his body was like a sifting chaff!

"Your Majesty! Although the King of Wei has poor guards, according to the investigation sent by the Gyeonggi Prefecture, this Anle County Lord was killed by gangsters, which is really not what King Wei can predict! I hope Your Majesty will forgive me! Wu Sansi said without losing any time!

"Your Majesty! According to the report of Gyeonggi Prefecture, this Anle county lord was indeed killed by gangsters, and the murderer also left a bloody letter at the scene! Now this case should be investigated and dealt with quickly, otherwise the murderer will get away with it and damage the royal face! Prime Minister Zhang Cambodia leaned over and said!

"Blood book? Whatever is written, show it to me! Wu Zetian still said angrily!

The palace people presented the blood book, Wu Zetian didn't look at it, and he was even more angry when he saw it!

"Where is the King of Changping?"

"The minister is here!"

King Changping had long known the contents of the Blood Book, and his heart was already panicked!

"I have long said that as a royal prince, you must lead by example, love the people like a son, and usually be a little arrogant and forget that she is young, but I didn't expect it to develop to this extent, and it will cause death! The king of Changping has no way to teach his daughter, and from today onwards, I will punish you for thinking behind closed doors, and you will not be allowed to leave the house without a will! Otherwise, I will be strict! Wu Zetianfeng's eyes widened, and he said majestically!

"Obey the order!" King Changping's hanging heart finally let go, although he had just experienced the pain of losing his daughter, but at this time, a sense of the aftermath of the catastrophe arose!

"Your Majesty! Although the county lord of Anle is a little inappropriate on weekdays, after all, he is a royal prince, and this gang of gangsters actually committed murder on the street, so it is better to investigate and deal with it quickly! Prime Minister Zhang Cambodia said!

"Hmmm! Cambodia's argument is reasonable! "Wu Zetian's anger seems to have subsided a little!" Where is Dali Temple? ”

"Chen Dali Temple Qing Cheng Jin is here!"

"Cheng Jin listens to the order! Dali Temple thoroughly investigates the murder of the county lord of Anle! Qi Huang! The manager of Dali Temple, you are responsible for supervising, the deadline is one month, if there is slackness, I will not be spared! ”

"Obey the order!" Qi Huang, the leader of the Inner Guard Pavilion, hurriedly knelt down to worship the order!

"Obey the order!" Dali Temple Qing Cheng Jin said in a voice!
