Chapter 406: The fire in the General's Mansion is mourned
Wen Yuan slept in the demon palace that night, but she didn't expect that such a casual decision would miss the major events in the capital.
When Wen Yuan returned to the palace the next day, Jue told her that something big and frightening had happened in the capital last night.
"What are you doing so mysterious?" Wen Yuan didn't pay attention to it at first, but when he heard Jue say that this matter was related to the General's Mansion, Wen Yuan still pricked up his ears.
"Someone set fire to the General's Mansion last night, because it was late at night, and the fire spread from the firewood room, and by the time the people found out, the General's Mansion had already been partially burned down, and when the people were all putting out the fire...... Someone took the opportunity to sneak into the old lady's room, the old general was injured, and the old lady blocked the old general's sword for ......"
Hearing this, Wen Yuan felt his heartbeat suddenly stop, "This is impossible, who would be so bold in the capital?" Isn't this looking for death? ”
Wen Yuan said the crux of the matter, and Jue hesitantly took out the thing he found in the General's Mansion from his personal space, which was a note that looked very clean.
The handwriting on it turned out to be exactly the same as his own, Wen Yuan could see it at a glance, it seemed that someone wanted to blame himself for this incident.
"What happened to the old general?"
Wen Yuan felt that it was in vain to ask now, so he simply took Jue directly to the General's Mansion.
Standing outside and looking at the white flags hanging on the General's Mansion, Wen Yuan whispered to Jue on the side: "Fortunately, you found that note, otherwise I might not be able to speak clearly now."
After Wen Yuan saw the Moon King, he wondered how she could be here.
Everything was too coincidental, and Wen Yuan naturally linked this whole thing to the Queen of the Moon.
After she followed the scent of her impression to find the Moon King, the women were hiding under the tree and didn't know what they were running away.
Wen Yuan dragged her out when he saw her, "You're not in the palace, what are you doing here?" ”
But this matter really has nothing to do with the Queen of the Moon, and the reason why she appeared outside the gate of the General's Mansion is just a coincidence.
Originally, today's new moon just wanted to go out of the palace and walk around the city, but she happened to encounter such a thing.
Then she wanted to join in the fun to see what was going on, and she could still meet Wen Yuan, she felt that she was really unlucky today.
"I'm out of the palace today, who would have thought that I would encounter this incident, and then I heard people outside say that the general's mansion is dead, so I want to come and have a good time to see what happened, who knew that I would meet you, it's really unlucky."
Wen Yuan looked at the woman's appearance and felt that she was not lying, so since this was the case, there was no need to bother with her here.
She let go of Queen Moon's clothes and let her go, "Don't mess around here at this time, especially if you're still from outside, it's easier to become the object of suspicion, hurry up." ”
Wen Yuan is also a good persuasion, and what is more interesting is that this time the queen of the moon actually listened to it.
The woman hurried out of the place, she didn't want to have anything to do with the murder.
After she left, Wen Yuan took Jue to find Jiang Feng, thinking that the man would be very decadent, but at present, he couldn't see any depression at all.
But Wen Yuan still saw the corners of his reddened eyes, which looked like he had just cried, and his eyes were a little swollen, so he thought he should have been crying for a long time.
As soon as Jiang Feng saw Wen Yuan, he greeted him, "Ah Yuan." ”
At this time, Ah Yuan Wen Yuan heard that his voice was trembling, and she separated Jue and the others, and took Jiang Feng to a place where there was no one in the name of talking.
She opened her arms to the man, Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment when she saw this, and then pursed her lips and hugged Wen Yuan in front of her.
"It's okay, just cry if you want, I've already laid an enchantment around me."
Hearing Wen Yuan say this, the man could cry out loud at this moment, and his choked voice made Wen Yuan also very uncomfortable, but Wen Yuan still kept touching Jiang Feng's back with his hand to comfort him.
"As a general of the Dragon Kingdom, I don't even have the freedom to cry, I can't let others see my vulnerable side, otherwise they will feel that the General's Mansion has no pillars."
Wen Yuan fully understood his distress, "I know, I know it, but you have to be strong after crying, you know?" The general's mansion is still waiting for you to find out the truth. ”
After crying, Jiang Feng felt a lot better, and he also explained the matter to the emperor, how to say that Jiang Feng and the old general were both meritorious ministers of the Dragon Kingdom, and the emperor naturally couldn't let it go, so he immediately sent a competent person to help Jiang Feng find out about this matter.
During this period, Wen Yuan was not idle, Jue judged that the other party was a human by identifying the smell on the note, so if it was a human, it would be easy to find.
Wen Yuan directly asked all the searchers in the Ten Thousand Demon Yuan to find people who smelled the same as the one on this note, and I believe that it won't be long before good news comes.
However, before Wen Yuan found the murderer, the Moon King was the first to know who was the initiator of this incident.
"You bastard!" The Moon King slapped his son in the face heavily, "Don't you want to live and set fire to the General's Mansion?!" ”
At this time, the prince was still reluctant to admit that he had set the fire, but he couldn't deceive his father, "The son didn't set the fire, and you wronged me, father." ”
"You don't?" The Moon King didn't know whether to cry or laugh at the moment, "You think I'm going to let you do anything wrong in the Dragon Kingdom?" Your every move is under my watch, you left the palace last night, trying to get rid of the secret guard I sent to follow you, but the secret guard still found you in his own way, and as a result, he saw you stupid thing and stood in the fire and watched the fire ignite. ”
The prince didn't expect that his every move would be watched by his father's subordinates, and he had no way to quibble, so he could only hide his weakness with silence.
The Moon King raised his hand and slapped him again, just as the queen came back and saw this scene.
She has always doted on her son, how could she bear to watch her son being beaten, and immediately stepped forward to stop the Moon King, "What are you doing here?!" How to hit him for no reason. ”
"Ask yourself what your good son has done, killing people and setting fires, what a boldness!"
Homicide? What killing? When he heard the word murder, the prince was stunned, he did set the fire, but he didn't kill people.
He immediately knelt in front of the Moon King, "Father! What killing? I didn't kill anyone! I just put a fire in the yard of their backyard, and I didn't expect the fire to suddenly get bigger, so I was stunned, so I stood in the fire and didn't move. ”
Hearing his son say this, the Moon King and the Queen were also stunned, especially the Queen, who had just returned from the street and knew some news about the fire, but it was not in line with what her son said.
"I've heard that the fire started from the firewood room, and it seems that someone took advantage of the chaos to kill the old general's wife."
The prince was completely frightened at this time, if such a thing was found on his head, then he would be at a loss for words.
But is there any other way to get things back on track? No. Now we can only hope that the emperor will investigate a little slower.
The Moon King also didn't believe that his son would kill people, although he had a lot of bad intentions, but he didn't have much courage, he only dared to do something harmful to others and himself, as for such a big crime as murder, he would never dare to commit it.
That is, someone borrowed a knife to kill someone, and took advantage of his son to set fire to the fire and killed people...... But who in this capital city would have such a vicious mind and want to blame everything on his son?
At this time, the first thing that the Moon King thought of was Wen Yuan, but the man thought about it and found that Wen Yuan had no motive, although she and her queen had never dealt with each other, but it would not kill the wife of a minister of humerus.
Thinking of this, the man only felt a headache, why did everything happen recently come for them.
Could it be ......
Just as they were thinking about the possibility, Wen Yuan suddenly appeared in their palace.
Not everyone has the ability to appear out of thin air, so Wen Yuan's appearance frightened all three of them.
"Wen Yuan, what are you doing here?"
I saw Wen Yuan take out the note and explain to the three of them the purpose of his visit, "There are many talented people around me, and someone smelled the same smell on this note from the fire as the Moon King, so I came to verify it." ”
The Moon King took the note from Wen Yuan's hand, "This is my son's hand......"
He threw the note in the prince's face, "You wrote this?" ”
"Yes......"
There was a poem on the note, and the prince remembered that it was written casually when he was practicing his hands, but how could it appear in Wen Yuan's hand, and she said that it was found in the fire...... It's even stranger.
Seeing that Wen Yuan and his father's expressions were getting more and more ugly, the man immediately explained, "This is what I wrote when I practiced calligraphy, I was still strange a few days ago, why was the writing I wrote torn off, you see." ”
He pulled out the torn piece of paper from his personal space.
Wen Yuan took the page to Jue, and Jue immediately smelled an unfamiliar smell on it, which he had never smelled before.
Although it has faded a lot over time, you can still smell it, "Someone did tear it off, and I never smelled it before." ”
Wen Yuan reluctantly believed the prince's words, but she had a question, "Is this your word?" ”
"That's right."
Hearing this, Wen Yuan frowned, there were people whose words were so similar to herself, and she asked again, "Have you been in contact with anyone these days?"
Who have you been in contact with...... The prince thought for a while, "No, it's just the palace people in the palace, I don't leave the place where I live very much." ”
Then it's strange, how could anyone know that his handwriting is similar to his own, and then this confusing note happened to appear in the General's Mansion.
