Pampering the outside room alone? I entered the East Palace to pass on the sick and weak prince

Chapter 308 Dead

Leng Ye frowned and continued.

"My subordinates have already seen it. The solitary grave has been around for some years and was not erected recently."

Tao Ye immediately covered her mouth with a look of disbelief in her eyes.

"This means... Xiao Yuzi's younger brothers and sisters... have been dead for a long time?"

Leng Ye nodded slightly and then said to Murong Heng.

"Master, I have brought Xiao Yuzi's family here. Do you want to ask?"

"bring it here."

Leng Ye nodded and ordered someone to pull over a frightened man behind him.

The man was wearing rough linen clothes, and his face looked a bit honest.

He had never seen such a battle before. With a "pop", he knelt down and kowtowed to Murong Heng's carriage.

"Your Majesty, spare your life! I don't know where the common people have offended you, please forgive me!"

Murong Heng said coldly.

"Do you know Xiao Yuzi?"

"I don't know you! I don't know you!"

"He is the eunuch of the East Palace."

"Eunuch?"

The man was stunned, then hesitantly said: "The eldest son of Cao Min was sold to the palace and became a eunuch a few years ago. His name is Xiao Dezi. As for this Xiao Yuzi, this servant really doesn't know him..."

Leng Ye said: "Every time you receive the money sent by Xiao Dezi, one part of it is given to the Wu siblings in the same village. Their elder brother is Xiao Yuzi."

Hearing this, the man raised his eyes slightly, his eyes showing surprise.

He did know that one of the two silver coins was given to the Wu siblings, but he never knew who gave it to him, and it was the first time he heard about this little Yuzi...

Murong Heng's voice sounded again.

"When did the Wu siblings die?"

"Hui, back to your lord, it was two years ago... At that time, Xiaodouzi of the Wu family had a high fever, and his sister went to see the village doctor. As a result, she walked in a hurry. In addition, it rained the night before and the road was slippery. I fell down the ravine and didn't get up..."

"It took two days to find out. When the villagers carried the girl back, they found Xiaodouzi who was seriously ill on the bed...the body had already been cold."

After he finished speaking, he obviously felt that the atmosphere around him became darker.

The man was so frightened that he kowtowed.

"Everything the common people tell is the truth. This matter has nothing to do with the common people. There is absolutely no lie. Everyone in the village knows about this... Your Excellency can go and investigate!"

Leng Ye stepped on him with one foot.

"Since the Wu siblings have long since died, what about the share of money given by Xiao Yuzi?"

Hearing this, the man choked, then shook his body and did not dare to speak.

Obviously, they were all stolen by him.

He trembled: "The Wu siblings have no relatives, and they don't know who to talk to about this matter. They also thought about asking someone to write to Xiao Dezi, but... But the money was really a lot, and the common people were obsessed for a while... "

After saying that, he knelt on the ground with a frightened expression.

"Those poor people with money can pay it back... Although the villain is greedy for money, he will never harm anyone's life because of this money. Please forgive me, noble man, please forgive me!"

Leng Ye raised his head and looked at Murong Heng.

"Master, what should I do?"

At this time, Shen Ruoxi asked: "Who built the graves of the Wu siblings?"

"Yes, they are grassroots. The grassroots saw that the two of them were really pitiful, so they built a grave for them."

The man knelt on the ground and did not dare to speak loudly.

Murong Heng's eyes fell on his face, looked at him for a while, and then spoke.

"Let him go back."

Leng Ye was stunned for a moment, then nodded and saw the man lifting it up.

He looked relieved.

"Thank you, noble man, thank you, noble man!"

Just as he was about to leave, the man hesitated again: "If your noble lord sees Xiao Yuzi, could you please give me a message? I feel sorry for him... I have kept all the money over the years, and I can return it to him." "

"No need."

Murong Heng's voice was cold: "He doesn't need it anymore."

The man nodded, turned around and walked back quickly.

Chengfeng couldn't help it.

"Master, let him go like this? He should be interrogated properly, otherwise wouldn't our trip be in vain?"

"The lives and deaths of the Wu siblings are not in his hands."

In the night, Murong Heng's eyes were cold: "Since Su Sheng uses this as a bargaining chip to control Xiao Yuzi, someone will always be watching them. If Su Sheng doesn't want the two of them to die, there are ten thousand ways."

"Master, what you mean is that when the Wu family siblings were in trouble, Su Sheng refused to save them?"

There was some anger on Chengfeng's resolute face: "What a bastard! Everyone Xiao Yuzi cares about is dead, but he didn't know it, and he was still working for him stupidly!"

"This matter is not like Prince Rong's style."

Murong Heng twirled his fingers slightly, with a trace of deep thought in his eyes.

Although Su Sheng has an arrogant personality, he is a man of his word. This should be one of the reasons why Xiao Yuzi is so loyal to him, because he believes that Su Sheng will fulfill his promise.

But now his sister and brother are dead.

Shen Ruoxi's eyes showed doubts.

"If it's not Prince Rong's intention, then who is it?"

Murong Heng pondered for a moment, and then showed a warm smile.

"Doesn't he have another good nephew?"

Only Murong Yao dared to disobey Su Sheng's wishes without permission. In recent years, his wings had gradually become stronger and he had developed his own way of life.

He can do this kind of thing.

Murong Heng lowered the curtain and sat back in the carriage.

"Let's go."

Leng Ye nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a scream from in front of him.

"what!!"

The man who had walked away swayed in the night, and then suddenly fell to the ground.

Under the moonlight, I saw an arrow stuck in his body.

A gust of wind swept by, and there was a "rustling" sound in the long pile of weeds on the roadside.

More arrow feathers flew out.

Leng Ye shouted sharply.

"Protect the master!"

The accompanying guards drew their swords and stood guard on both sides of the carriage.

Chengfeng pulled the frightened Taoye behind him.

"Follow me!"

After a burst of arrow feathers were fired, a group of men in black suddenly emerged from the weeds.

He took a machete and attacked this side, and the people on both sides instantly fought.

Shen Ruoxi sat in the carriage and opened the curtain slightly. Seeing the chaotic scene outside, Jueyan's face was a little nervous.

"How come there are assassins?!"

"Don't be afraid."

Murong Heng grabbed the Long Yuan Sword beside him and pulled Shen Ruoxi into his arms.

Shen Ruoxi took out the dagger she carried with her, took a few deep breaths, and then opened her eyes wide.

"I'm fine, I can protect myself."

As soon as Murong Heng finished speaking, he suddenly saw an assassin slamming the car curtain and revealing his head.

"what!"

Shen Ruoxi yelled, then kicked the person out violently.

"Chi~"

There was a chuckle from the side.

Shen Ruoxi looked up and saw a playful smile on Murong Heng's delicate face.

Shen Ruoxi glared at him.

"why are you laughing?"

"I didn't expect the lonely princess to be so brave."

Murong Heng smiled and suddenly thrust the Long Yuan Sword in his hand towards the car window.

When he pulled it back, the tip of the sword was dripping with blood.

An assassin outside the carriage had a bloody hole in his throat and fell down softly.
