Chapter 254

The Grand Master Dongge was also a staunch supporter of the prince. With his death, Chen Feng was even more convinced that he was a killer hired by the King of Han.

It's just that the Minister of Rites died just the night before, and the Grand Scholar of Dongge died immediately last night.The killers took turns committing crimes, which was a bit too rampant.

He Ren had just finished his report here when Zhang Xun came over again.He followed Zhuge Zheng's order to inform the court of the situation. Although he explained that Tang would not intervene in the murder, they could still report some information in time.

"The death of Grand Scholar Dongge was at the same time as the death of Wei Shilang. When the emperor learned about this, Long Yan was furious. When he arrived at Yinshi, he summoned the ministers to discuss it."

"It's Mao time now, has anything been negotiated by the court?" Chen Feng asked.

Zhang Xun shook his head and said, "Where can we discuss anything? No one knows who the murderer is, but everyone has guessed something from the identity of the deceased, because those who died were all supporters of the prince. Those who did not support the prince gloated, but Those who supported the prince were worried and kept complaining in front of the emperor, which almost caused the emperor to fly into a rage. You say that the killer only kills the supporters of the prince, which is tantamount to accusing the King of Han and others in disguise. Now there is no evidence, the emperor How not to be angry? Fortunately, the crown prince personally comforted the situation, which did not make the situation more serious. In the end, the emperor took his anger out on Commander Lu of Jin Yiwei and ordered him to find out the murderer within five days, or his head would fall to the ground!"

In the end, Zhang Xun was a little gloating.Jin Yiwei always puts Ming Tang on the sidelines, now that Jin Yiwei is in trouble, Ming Tang's people are naturally happy to see him.

The five-day period is shorter than the ten-day period Chen Feng promised to the Wei family. It seems that Commander Lu will be even more anxious than Chen Feng.

"Thank you Brother Zhang for informing the situation in the court, come in and have breakfast before leaving." Chen Feng's mood improved, because Jin Yiwei was ordered to die, and he believed that they would find him soon.

"No, I still have to continue to search for information. As soon as there is any new news, I will report to the inn immediately." Zhang Xun said goodbye and left.

Affected by the court's two successive major cases, everyone in the inn seemed to have no intention of practicing martial arts, and they all thought about dealing with the killer.Only Wang Huanhuan, who was young, was still concentrating on practicing kung fu, and there was nothing wrong with being aloof from the world.

Chen Feng warned everyone to practice martial arts with peace of mind, and Dugu Huang was in charge of supervision and guidance.Only He Rencai and Lu Han assisted him in investigating intelligence.

Now Jin Yiwei is taking the lead in dealing with the murderer, and there is no need to use Dugu Huang's power, so just let Dugu Huang guard the inn.

Dugu Huang didn't want to care about the messy affairs of the court, so he was willing to stay in the inn.

Everyone was practicing martial arts in the backyard, and Chen Feng was waiting for news in the lobby of the inn.

As expected, people from Jin Yiwei came to the door very quickly, and it was Yu Wenzhi, the envoy of Nanzhen, who came.

"Consort Chen, are you still in the mood to sit and drink tea?" Yu Wenzhi teased when he came in.

Chen Feng smiled and said, "What can I do if I don't drink tea?"

Yu Wenzhi sat down and said with a bitter face: "Perhaps Chen's son-in-law knows about the murder of the Dongge University scholar?"

"Slightly heard."

"This Dongge University scholar is a well-known supporter of the prince. Once he died, the murderer's purpose was almost revealed. But even if we knew the murderer's goal, we would have no way of finding it. The emperor knows it well, but I don't want to admit this fact, and I don't want to doubt my prince, we Jinyiwei don't have strong support, and it's very difficult to handle the case."

Chen Feng smiled and said: "Lord Yuwen, it's useless for you to complain to me! I told Commander Lu yesterday that you Jin Yiwei should pay attention to the crown prince's supporters, and the bachelor of Dongge is also on the list of concerns. , didn’t you send someone to ambush and investigate?”

Yu Wenzhi said: "Of course people are sent, but they..."

"What happened to them?"

"They didn't even see the murderer. They stayed at the Grand Master's residence in the first half of the night, then fell asleep in the second half of the night. When they woke up, Grand Master Dongge was already dead. The cause of death this time was simple. He was cut by a sharp blade. He died from a broken throat, but no other clues could be found!”

Chen Feng pondered: "The murderer is no longer cautious in his actions, he has already used drugs to deal with the people of Jin Yiwei, which shows that the murderer is also in a hurry. This may not be a good thing."

Yu Wenzhi sighed and said: "Oh, this is a good thing? Last night, the people of Jinyiwei were just stunned, and they might kill people tonight! Although the murderer's target is certain, there are dozens of targets. How can we come here in a guarded place? Lu The commanders have already used the masters of the Lu family, and we also searched the entire capital during the day, but nothing has been found. Madam Chen, you have to give us Jin Yiwei some advice!"

With the strength of Jin Yiwei in handling cases, it should be easy to find a murderer in the capital.But now there are no clues, and it is very likely that the murderer is hiding in a place that Jin Yiwei cannot search.

"Is there any place in the entire capital that you haven't searched yet?" Chen Feng asked.

Yu Wenzhi said: "The entire capital has been searched long ago, and those official residences have not been let go, unless the murderer is hiding in the palace!"

"This might not be a possibility." Chen Feng speculated.

"No way, could the murderer hide in the palace?" Yu Wenzhi couldn't believe it.Jin Yiwei can rely on his special status to search official residences, no matter what high-ranking officials are, he cannot refuse, but only the imperial palace cannot be searched at will.

Chen Feng nodded and said: "I have always suspected King Han, and you Jin Yiwei should also have doubts. Now is the time to consider investigating King Han."

Yu Wenzhi made a bitter face again: "Chen's son-in-law said it lightly, the king of Han stayed with the emperor for most of the day, and now the emperor trusts him a lot, and the prince's people at the court meeting pointed the finger at him, so he just had to name him." I changed my surname, but the Emperor Longyan was furious, how could our Jinyiwei touch this bad luck?"

"So I have to take action?" Chen Feng said angrily.

Yu Wenzhi finally showed a smiling face: "It's just right, please let Chen's son-in-law take action, and all of us Jin Yiwei will remember Chen's son-in-law's contribution!"

"You don't want to get into trouble, so why am I willing?" Chen Feng pretended to be angry.

Yu Wenzhi kept shaking his head: "That's not what I mean, it's just that there is really no other way now."

Chen Feng waved his hand: "You go first, I don't want anyone to threaten the prince, so finding the murderer is also my expectation. I will be in charge of the investigation in the palace, and you don't relax. I promised the Wei family that it is true , but the murderer cannot be found, and Commander Lu will be the first to die, so you must do your best to solve the case."

Yu Wenzhi repeatedly assured: "You can rest assured, Prince Chen, all the masters of the Lu family have participated, and only Mingtang and Dongchang have been asked to help. Our Jinyiwei's determination will never be false."

After Chen Feng sent Yu Wenzhi away, he thought it was time to take An Le into the palace to have a look.It was inconvenient for him to go alone, and An Le was also concerned about his family, so he happened to take her back to the palace to reunite with everyone.

After bringing An Le out, she was naturally elated when she heard that she was going to the palace to visit her father.The inn already had its own carriage, and Lu Han drove the two of them to the palace.

Generally, the son-in-law had to notify in advance when he brought the princess back to the palace, but Chen Feng, the son-in-law, was the most special one, no one came to stop him swaggering into the palace.

The prince has always been the one with the best news, usually when Chen Feng stepped into the palace gate, the prince got the news and came out to greet him.

But for some reason this time, not only did the prince not come, Chen Feng and An Le arrived at the East Palace first, but they didn't see the prince's people either.After asking, I learned that the prince was busy with government affairs.

The emperor seldom asks about court affairs, so it is normal for the prince to be busy.Since the prince is busy, don't bother me.

Chen Feng and An Le went directly to the emperor's palace. As soon as they heard that they were visiting, Zhu Di immediately let them in.

Zhu Di was lying on the bed. He had not seen her for a few days and seemed to be much older.There is no external cause for this old age, and there will never be another case like the green-blooded mosquito. It's just that Zhu Di is really old, and now he is still mentally and physically exhausted, and his body is naturally overwhelmed.

Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu was also in the bedroom, sitting by the bed and talking with Zhu Di.

Seeing Chen Feng and An Le coming, Zhu Gaoxu immediately got up to greet him: "Just now I was talking about you two with my father, I didn't expect you to finally come to visit my father..."
