Duke Cheng Guo heard the noise and opened the door of the study.

I saw a sack in the open space in the courtyard ahead.

The sound of the heavy object falling to the ground just now was made by the sack.

When Duke Cheng came out, the guards outside the courtyard gate also came over.

"What is this and who is running wild in my house?"

"An outsider is here, and you didn't even notice?"

Faced with Cheng Guogong's questioning, the guards had nothing to say.

They really didn't notice anyone coming just now.

If you can easily sneak into the house and leave the sack without attracting attention, you must be a master.

The guards came forward and opened the sack.

Suddenly, a head appeared, and Duke Cheng was startled.

When the guard shook the sack, the person inside immediately rolled to the ground.

I saw that the man's hair was disheveled.

There was a cloth stuffed in the mouth and the person was already unconscious.

"Look, who is it?" Cheng Guogong pointed to the tied man on the ground.

One of the guards lifted up the man's hair and looked at his face carefully.

"Sir, he is... seems to be... a father-in-law of the fifth prince."

The other guard also nodded and said affirmatively: "I have also met this father-in-law, just a few days ago."

Duke Cheng's heart sank.

"boom!"

Just as he was deep in thought, the sound of cups breaking came from the study.

He turned and walked towards the study.

The guard had already rushed forward and entered the study.

"Sir, there is no one in the study!" The guard ran out to report again.

There was a meal at the feet of Duke Cheng Guo.

I feel more and more uneasy.

He clenched his fists and entered the study.

He looked around the study carefully and found nothing unusual. Only the cup on the table was broken and fell to the floor.

A wave of fear welled up in my heart.

Who could actually come and go in his house without a trace?

Who is doing this? What does the other person want?

Suddenly, a flash of white caught his eye.

Not far away, there seemed to be a note on his desk.

He took the note in three steps and opened it.

"Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince hired a killer to do this."

The words above made his hands tremble.

He plopped down in his chair.

Someone had just placed a note and deliberately caused the teacup to break to remind him and let him see the note.

Plus the father-in-law who was packed up and thrown into the house in the yard.

Who is helping him behind the scenes, or asking for something?

Fifth prince, why did you want to kill his son?

The anger in Cheng Guogong's eyes surged, and he clenched his fist and slammed it on the desk.

How does he want to take revenge and kill the fifth prince?

If the emperor finds out about it one day, the emperor will settle the score with him.

The king and his ministers cannot go beyond it.

If the prince can be killed at will, wouldn't that be a slap in the emperor's face?

If he is asked to let go of his hatred, then his son's death was not in vain.

Otherwise, kill that father-in-law to relieve the hatred in your heart.

I'm afraid that the person behind it has set a trap, and I'm just waiting for him to get rid of the person and leave a clue.

Just when Cheng Guogong was struggling, an older woman hurriedly ran outside the study courtyard.

"Master, master!"

After saying that, the person has arrived in the study room.

She gasped and looked at the Duke, wanting to say something.

Duke Cheng Guo immediately stood up and walked over to help her.

"Ma'am, what happened?"

The Duke's wife picked up a stack of letters and said worriedly: "Master, I just wanted to lie down for a while, what do you think I saw?"

"There are so many letters on my pillow. Someone must have sneaked into my house."

"I asked the maid to check it. Nothing was missing, just these letters."

"I'll bring it over quickly for you to take a look at."

Duke Cheng Guo frowned, picked up the letter, and opened it one by one to read.

He didn't know it until he saw it, but he was shocked when he saw it.

"Sir, whose letter is this?" asked the Duke's wife.

"These are evidence of the fifth prince's crime. Madam, our son was killed by the fifth prince's men."

Duke Cheng Guo told his wife the matter.

The Duke's wife collapsed immediately and made a fuss for a long time.

When she calmed down, her eyes were full of hatred.

"Master, you have to avenge our son. He went alone. It will hurt so much."

"Please, Master, don't let the fifth prince go. Why should he kill my son?"

Duke Cheng Guo's expression was very complicated. He comforted him and persuaded him to go back and rest.

After the others left, Cheng Guogong looked at the letters in a daze.

With these letters and evidence, it is indeed enough for the fifth prince to drink a pot.

I just don't know how far the emperor can go, and what he can do if he wants to cover up.

Also send a killer there. If it's an ordinary person or a young master from another house, that's it. Things would be easier to handle.

Let him think about it again.

However, he had people continue to tie the father-in-law back into the sack and gag him.

I gave him another beating to let my son vent.

The Royal Villa in the capital, the residence of the second prince Beili.

A man in black climbed over the wall and fell into the courtyard.

The second prince's men discovered the man in black.

After a few exchanges of blows, the man in black left.

The second prince's men were in hot pursuit.

The man in black fled all the way to a remote place.

He also looked back from time to time to see if the person had caught up.

He didn't stop until he led people to an abandoned temple.

The men of the Second Prince Beili stopped in front of the other party.

He asked: "Who are you, who broke into my residence, Prince Beili, and what are your intentions?"

"I am from the fifth prince of Dai Viet."

The man in black answered the other party.

The two of them talked back and forth for a while.

The man in black told everything Gu Xue told him.

The night is long, and the stars in the sky have changed several times.

After saying everything that needed to be said, the man in black laughed three times and disappeared into the night.

The subordinates of the Second Prince Beili had a complicated look on their faces, and then returned directly the way they came.

He was a little depressed and a little angry.

The second prince Beili was drinking tea in the flower hall. When he saw someone coming back, he asked him directly.

"Did no one catch up?"

The subordinate nodded and told him what the man in black who just broke into the house said to him.

"What, the fifth prince of Dai Viet insulted my highness? What did he curse?" The second prince was a little angry.

His words flew up and down, and he repeated the words of the man in black word for word.

Then he hesitated for a moment and then said: "Your Highness, he also said that the fifth prince already knew your secret, and that he had killed the young master of Chengguo Duke's mansion for you."

"He also said that you should stop in Dai Viet territory, otherwise he will tell your secret to the Beili royal family."

"He also said... He also said that the Beili royal family would not allow a prince who cannot have heirs to ascend the throne."

After the subordinate finished speaking, he lowered his head and his body was still trembling a little.

Although he knew all his master's secrets, he was still asked to pass on the message after being threatened like this.

I don't know if the master will kill him in a fit of anger.

Sure enough, I saw the second prince overturning the table on the couch.

The stuff on it was shattered all over the floor.

The second prince bit his lip, his eyes full of gloom.

"How dare you threaten me!" After saying that, he hit the pillar in the room with his fist.

His men were afraid that he would chop down the pillars, so they quickly reminded him.

"Your Highness, the things in the house are all from Dai Viet. If they are broken...if they are broken, you will have to pay for them."
