Spare my life! The princess can make the villains read each other's minds

Yao Dongfang and Zhang Xiong watched Tian Ruomo's carriage go away respectfully until it disappeared from view, and then they stood up.

Zhang Xiong raised his hand and patted the armor on his chest. He glanced at Yao Dongfang with disdain and sneered, "Master Yao, the security of the capital and its surrounding areas is the responsibility of the Imperial Guards. I am confident that I can guarantee that there are absolutely no vicious bandits in the surrounding areas!"

"Those who dare to massacre the villages around here are definitely not small figures. Their strength is not something that a small official like you can shake."

"Although I am particularly upset that you suspect my imperial guards, I still want to advise you not to take chicken feathers as an arrow and think that you can be complacent and investigate the case recklessly just because the Princess of Qi said such a word of support for you."

"By then, the case has not been fully investigated. It's not a big deal if I lose my life for no apparent reason. I'm afraid it will implicate the whole family!"

Yao Dongfang was startled and looked at Zhang Xiong in astonishment, "Are you threatening me?"

Yao Dongfang suddenly realized that the commander of the imperial guards must know something, or in other words, he knew exactly who the real murderer was!

Zhang Xiong shook his head meaningfully, "Sir Yao, this commander is grateful to you for studying hard for ten years, passing the imperial examinations, and bringing honor to your family. It's really not easy for you to get to this position now."

"I just want to remind you that there are some things that are beyond your control. I am just being kind. Whether you listen or not has nothing to do with me."

After saying that, he walked straight back to the barracks.

Yao Dongfang stood at the gate of the military camp, staring blankly at the camp, his brows deeply furrowed.

Even if Zhang Xiong is not directly related to the murderer, he must know something.

Otherwise, I wouldn't say such things.

The threatening meaning of these words was already extremely obvious.

He was really shocked!

Sure enough, the murderer's background must be extraordinary.

In the capital, who has the power to do such a thing?

If we want to massacre an entire village, in order to be absolutely sure that there will be no mistakes, the number of people should not be less than the number of villagers in the village, right?

He thought of the guards who had just surrounded Tian Rumo's carriage, at least a hundred people.

Only a few major royal palaces can send out such a large number of troops!

Thinking of this, he suddenly wanted to explore in that direction!

He immediately ordered the detective beside him, "Go and investigate. In the past month, especially on the day when Yizi Village was massacred, which prince has left the city!"

The constable was startled and looked at Yao Dongfang in astonishment, "Sir, are you really going to investigate?"

He has been with Yao Dongfang for several years. This gentleman has always been a very timid person. Whenever he sees a powerful person committing a crime, he will let him go if he can.

Why are you breaking your usual habit today and daring to investigate the case that Zhang Xiong just warned about?

Moreover, he immediately set his target on each prince?

You know, he is the prince!

These princes have extremely noble status, and more importantly, they have fiefdoms and a large number of private soldiers.

Just in the royal palaces in the capital, they each have hundreds of guards.

If these princes were angered, just as Zhang Xiong said, a small Dali Temple chief like Yao Dongfang would die without knowing how he died.

Yao Dongfang gritted his teeth and said, "Check!"

He has been working hard and fulfilling his duties conscientiously for many years in the seventh-rank position of Dali Temple.

Any credit he made would go to his boss, and he wouldn't get any share.

The boss seemed to dislike him and kept suppressing him, only giving him a few casual compliments when he got the job done.

If you do something not well, being scolded in public is a small matter, but you may even be punished with a beating.

His boss didn't give him a chance for promotion, but he also wouldn't fire him. Ultimately, there was only one reason.

He has no backing, but he is very capable and easy to control. He needs people who can get things done to relieve the pressure and give his boss some time to relax and have fun.

He saw no hope. If he continued like this, he would probably spend the rest of his life in this position until he could no longer do it and would be fired.

Now, Tian Ruomo has given him such an opportunity to curry favor with someone. If he doesn't hold on to it tightly, all the fame and honor he has earned through studying hard will be wasted, and he will waste his time and fail to live up to his great ambition to rule the country.

The constable hesitated for a moment and was about to persuade him, but Yao Dongfang grabbed his hand and said through gritted teeth, "You have followed me for many years and are my confidant. This is an opportunity for me. As long as you do well, I will have a bright future and will not treat you unfairly!"

"Go and check it carefully for me, in detail. The imperial guards guarding the gates can't stop any important figures from leaving the house, but they will secretly record it."

"Although these records may be destroyed by someone with ulterior motives, what if they are careless this time?"

"Go quickly, before anyone remembers it, go and destroy the record!"

Seeing Yao Dongfang's determined eyes, the constable's face became serious. He bowed to Yao Dongfang and left quickly.

Yao Dongfang clenched and unclenched his fists.

Deep down in his heart, he was also very nervous.

As long as we get the records of important figures entering and leaving the city gate and check them in detail, we can find the suspect. Then let Zhu Youcai identify him, and the answer will be revealed whether he is the suspect or not.

However, Zhang Xiong's warning was not an empty threat.

He was just a minor official of the seventh rank, and those big shots could crush him to death if they wanted to.

However, he didn't want to miss this opportunity.

This is a gamble in life!

Victory or defeat depends on this.

How many opportunities like this can you have in your life?

He finally made up his mind, turned around and took a few followers back to the Dali Temple to wait for news.

Tian Rumo's carriage headed towards the palace.

The fact that the new crown prince is Xiao Jun has been officially announced to the world and is a foregone conclusion.

Emperor Ming of Jin can’t be taken back!

The time has come for her to leave Prince Qi's Mansion!

Inside the imperial palace, Concubine Shi stood outside the imperial study, waiting to be summoned by Emperor Ming of Jin.

What happened in the past two days happened so suddenly.

She could never have dreamed that after Concubine Li was named Queen, Emperor Ming of Jin would actually favor Li later.

As an old woman, she couldn't understand why Emperor Ming of Jin went back to his old lover.

Moreover, the news spread throughout the harem, and Emperor Ming of Jin ate it with particular relish.

Spending the night in Fengyi Palace resulted in missing the morning court for the first time!

After the morning court, he immediately went to Fengyi Palace, where he and Queen Li were inseparable and in love with each other!

What methods did Queen Li use to attract Emperor Ming of Jin despite her old age?

It was as if Emperor Ming of Jin had thrown her, his beloved concubine whom he had held in his hands and wanted to hold in his arms all the time just a few days ago, into oblivion.

Emperor Ming of Jin had hinted that she should give birth to a prince, train him well, and make him the true successor of the Jin Dynasty.

How could he ignore her to this extent all of a sudden?
