When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

Then he turned around and went to look for Xu Guanghai.

At this moment, Xu Guanghai was also overwhelmed and unable to cope with it.

Logically speaking, he should have started to deal with Yang's case at this time, but Prince Rong and Princess Rong were of noble status and were royal relatives. Once the news of their assassination spread, officials and yamen runners were all dispatched, and even the Dali Temple was alarmed.

So relatively speaking, the deaths of the insignificant wives of the Xu family were really put on hold for the time being.

All the people who stayed at Puji Temple last night were detained here and interrogated one by one. Without the permission of the officials, they were not allowed to leave the mountain.

The people from the Xu Mansion were naturally included.

Liu Mingnian, the Minister of Dali Temple, is over thirty years old and has solved many serious unsolved cases in Kyoto. This time, he was ordered to investigate the assassination of Prince Rong and Princess Rong, and he was extremely helpless and resistant.

This is an extremely hot potato. As I have a responsibility, I have no choice but to grit my teeth and accept it firmly. I can't run away, and I can't get rid of it.

No matter who the assassin is, if he dares to assassinate the royal family, then his identity must not be underestimated. Whether he is a member of the royal family, an official in the court, or a martial arts sect, no matter which force he is, he cannot be easily offended.

Liu Ming was very troubled by this matter, but he had no choice but to take it on.

"Did Lord Xu meet Prince Rong and Princess Rong yesterday?"

Xu Guanghai said solemnly: "I did hear that Prince Rong also came here to pay homage, but I originally just wanted to take this opportunity to pay a visit. But I didn't expect Prince Rong to refuse visitors and even expressly forbid anyone to come and disturb him. Therefore..." He frowned slightly, seeming to be quite confused and helpless about this situation.

Such words were not only said by Xu Guanghai. Several other officials who came to Puji Temple to worship Buddha also expressed similar views and opinions.

The better ones can only tell the approximate time of the fight they heard at night, and that's all.

Liu Ming was already familiar with these remarks, accustomed to them, and even a little annoyed.

Seeing that Xu Guanghai really couldn't provide any valuable clues, Liu Ming had no choice but to let him go back for the time being.

At this moment, a clear and melodious voice of a young man came from outside the door: "Sir, I heard from the people below that Prince Rong was assassinated at about the same time as my mother was killed, or it can be said to be the same time!"

Xu Guanghai immediately turned around and shouted, "Hui'er! Don't be rude! This matter is very serious, don't speak nonsense!"

Xu Minghui stiffened his neck and said, "I'm not talking nonsense. I've examined my mother's body. Although I don't know how to do an autopsy, I can roughly tell how long my mother has been dead!"

"I heard that there was a fierce fight when Prince Rong was assassinated. The time of the fight is no secret. The two are not related. However, it is too coincidental that the incidents happened at the same time!"

Xu Minghui was a passionate young man who spoke whatever he wanted. He had just returned to Beijing from his study trip when he learned the tragic news that his mother had been murdered. How could he be willing to stand by and watch? He told Liu Ming all the few clues he knew.

Xu Guanghai turned his back to Liu Ming and kept winking at Xu Minghui, but he was completely ignored by him.

Liu Ming's eyes lit up: "You mean, maybe Madam Xu is also involved in this matter?"

Xu Minghui said: "Yes, I do have this suspicion. My mother has always been kind to others. She is just a woman in the back house and is unlikely to have any connection with the outside world. So I guess that my mother may have seen something she shouldn't have seen and was killed. Perhaps my mother was also innocently implicated in this case!"

Xu Minghui lifted his robe and half-knelt on the ground: "Please give my mother justice!"

Liu Ming looked at Xu Guanghai, who looked embarrassed, and then at Xu Minghui, who was righteous and upright. He rolled his eyes and said, "I understand. Madam Xu may be the key to this matter. I will handle it with caution."

Xu Minghui's eyes filled with tears: "Thank you, sir!"

After Liu Ming left, Xu Minghui smiled and walked a few steps to Xu Guanghai: "Dad!"

Xu Guanghai blew his beard and glared, and slapped Xu Minghui in the face: "Asshole!"

Xu Minghui was bewildered and asked in confusion: "Why did Daddy hit me? What did I do wrong?"

Xu Guanghai pointed at Xu Minghui with a trembling finger: "You think you are the only smart one! Are you the only one who can see this little clue? Everyone else is an idiot!"

Xu Minghui didn't quite understand why Xu Guanghai suddenly said such a thing. He seemed to understand something, but also seemed to have not comprehended it: "Dad, what do you mean? Mom was murdered, and I sought a result for her, so that she could die peacefully. Why did you hit me? Haven't you seen Mom's body? She died with her eyes open, Dad!"

"Of course I know she can't rest in peace, but more important than her is the Xu family! You thought that providing some clues would help her go with peace of mind, but have you ever thought that in doing so, the Xu family might also be implicated!"

"Daddy?" Xu Minghui was a little incredulous.

"You also know that your mother probably saw something she shouldn't have seen, or knew something she shouldn't have known, and was killed. You publicized this matter and asked the Dali Temple to intervene in the investigation. Doesn't that mean that this person must be dug out? Isn't that inviting trouble to the Xu family?"

"Do you want the whole mansion to be buried with your mother?!"

"Daddy, she is your first wife! She is the wife who has been with you for more than ten years and has given birth to your children! You say this, aren't you afraid that mother will be heartbroken in the underworld?"

Xu Minghui felt as if he had just truly gotten to know the person in front of him. He found it hard to believe that the father he had revered for more than ten years was such a cold-hearted person!

How can you say such things after your mother's death!

Xu Guanghai was arrogant, staring at me with big eyes, and making a "ho ho" sound in his throat due to extreme anger: "You rebellious son, I guess all my words were in vain! The most important thing right now is the Xu Mansion! The entire Xu Mansion! Your mother is so insignificant in this matter! We should completely withdraw from this matter!"

"It's insignificant! How could my father say such a thing!"

Xu Minghui was very disappointed with Xu Guanghai: "That's right, father, you should be cautious. I will investigate this matter! I will redress mother's grievances! Her husband gave up on her, but her son did not!"

"You bastard! Shut up! Don't do anything rash!"

Xu Guanghai took a few steps forward and tried to clamp Xu Minghui, but Xu Minghui turned around nimbly and dodged, and Xu Guanghai missed!

"Father doesn't care about this matter, I will!"

Xu Guanghai stamped his feet in anger: "Rebellious son, rebellious son! How could I raise such an ignorant fool like you?"

Xu Minghui turned a deaf ear to Xu Guanghai's scolding and strode out of the room, but saw Xu Mingxi squatting on the ground, hugging her knees and crying at the door.

Xu Minghui squatted down and patted her shoulders. Xu Mingxi raised her head, her eyes swollen like peach pits with tears, and she threw herself into Xu Minghui's arms: "Brother!"

Xu Minghui hugged Xu Mingxi tightly and said, "Don't worry, Xi'er. Big brother will definitely find the murderer for mother! He will definitely let mother go in peace!"

Xu Mingxi cried for a long time, then got up from his arms and sobbed, "Brother, I have something to show you."

Xu Mingxi took out a folded silk handkerchief from his bosom, placed it in his palm, and unfolded the four corners one by one, revealing a short hairpin wrapped inside.

It is a short hairpin with gold-plated cinnamon twigs and inlaid pearls.
