Chapter 382: Arrest the murderer
Xiahou Ying and Zhang Shiqi were talking here, but the courtyard of the Imperial Doctor's Office suddenly became lively.
It was only said that the leader of the Royal Forest Army hurriedly ran to Fengzao Palace to report the news, but he happened to meet Nan Rongliang, who had been searching for Xiahou Ying to no avail, so he could only wait outside the gate of Fengzao Palace to wait for the rabbit.
Although the leader Zhang He didn't know the relationship between Nan Rongliang and Xiahou Ying, he also heard that Xiahou Ying and Nan Rongliang were classmates of Luming Academy, so he told Nan Rongliang about it.
When Nan Rongliang heard that Xiahou Ying was recognized as a murderer, he was naturally shocked, and immediately grabbed Zhang He to find Xiahou Ying.
Who knew that the two of them came to the place where Xiahou Ying and the others were before, but they were empty, and after looking for a long time, they heard from a small palace person on duty at night that they saw several royal forest soldiers carrying a person to the Imperial Doctor's Office.
The two people who rushed to the Imperial Doctor's Office entered the courtyard, and the prince and grandson Yan also rushed into the Imperial Doctor's Office with a group of people.
The several Imperial Forest Soldiers who sent Xiahou Ying to the Imperial Doctor's Department were already waiting in the courtyard, and when they saw their leader and Nanrong Shizi coming, they naturally walked towards the two.
At this time, Gongsun Yan rushed in with the guards of the East Palace, and when Nan Rongliang saw that the comer was not good, he immediately stepped forward and blocked in front of Gongsun Yan and the others.
When the other Imperial Forest soldiers saw that Nan Rongliang had blocked the people of the East Palace, although they were puzzled, they still followed and stopped the guards of the East Palace.
"Huh? Isn't this the son of Nan Rong? What a coincidence! Gongsun Yan arched towards Nan Rongliang.
"Hello Lord Gongsun, I don't know what Lord Gongsun is doing at such a late date with so many guards to the Imperial Medical Department?" Nan Rongliang asked coldly.
"There was a murder near the East Palace just now, a palace maid serving His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was killed at the back door of the East Palace, someone saw the murderer enter the Imperial Doctor's Office, and the official is here to get people!" Gongsun Yan smiled lightly and said to Nan Rongliang.
Nan Rongliang naturally knew that the murderer in Gongsun Yan's mouth was talking about Xiahou Ying, and his gaze at Gongsun Yan naturally became a little colder.
"Someone in the palace was killed, so naturally he should report to the Holy Empress first, Lord Gongsun is so arrogant and directly came to get people, isn't it that the East Palace wants to set up a private torture hall?" Nan Rongliang asked Gongsun Yan with a sneer.
"What His Royal Highness the Prince said is not true, how can the East Palace set up a private torture hall? It's just that after all, it was the people of the East Palace who died, and they already knew where the murderer was, so it was reasonable that the East Palace should send someone to help arrest the murderer! Gongsun Yan didn't care about Nan Rongliang's hostility, and always had a faint smile on his face.
"Our Imperial Forest Army has the responsibility of guarding the palace, since there is a murder in the palace, it is natural that our Royal Forest Army should be responsible for catching the murderer, Lord Gongsun's kindness, our Royal Forest Army understands it, and now there is no need for adult help here, please go back!" Nan Rongliang unceremoniously issued an eviction order.
"Since that's the case, then I'll retire first!" Gongsun Yan didn't seem to have any intention of confronting Nan Rongliang at all, and with a wave of his hand, he left the Imperial Doctor's Office with the guards of the East Palace.
Watching Gongsun Yan lead people away, Nan Rongliang didn't feel the slightest sense of relief, and his brows frowned a little deeper.
"Are they gone?" A weak voice sounded from behind Nan Rongliang. Nan Rongliang turned around excitedly when he heard this, and saw that the person he had been worried about for a day was standing behind him.
