Chapter 214 Ling Wang Was Killed
All the guests laughed and sat together, eating and drinking. When they raised their eyes, they saw dazzling lanterns of various colors. They nodded their heads and saw the delicious food. The children’s innocent and lovely laughter came from their ears. Everyone felt that this moment was beautiful. Extremely.

"General Xu, where did you buy this wine? How come this Marquis has never had it before?" Ever since he was seated at the table, Marquis Jiang Chengcheng of Wu'an kept his cup in his hand. At the beginning, he drank the most famous high-quality wine in the capital. Then the wine served was obviously different in taste, more mellow and spicy, with a lingering aftertaste, he had never drunk this kind of wine.

Xu Junze glanced in Lin Shuran's direction, and then said to Jiang Cheng, Marquis of Wu'an, "This is the wine brewed by Xu's wine shop, and it hasn't been sold outside yet!"

"Why didn't you sell it? When you gave the New Year's gift, there was no such good wine. You don't want to give it to the old man deliberately, do you?!" Alcohol has a preference, and when it comes to good wine, it is even unreasonable. Even if the imperial doctor told him many times that he should drink less for his health, he just couldn't listen.

Xu Junze picked up the jug and poured a glass of wine for Marquis Wu An himself, then said in a calm voice: "Your Majesty misunderstood, this wine was only brewed at the wine shop two days ago, if you want to drink it, you can just go to Xu's wine shop!"

Marquis Wu An turned his anger into joy when he heard that, he even patted Xu Junze on the shoulder vigorously, and said with a big smile, "You're still sensible, from now on, Xu's wine shop will buy all the wine for this Marquis!"

Xu Junze has never been used to unfamiliar people getting close to him, especially such intimate physical contact, but he did not avoid Marquis Wu An, but endured his powerful palm. Although this feeling was strange and awkward, he did not feel disgusted.

"The Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion has it, and our Zhen Guo Gong's Mansion must have it!" Zhen Guo Gong Lei Yi also said with a smile on the side, Xu Junze nodded, naturally they must have it.

After eating and drinking, everyone played a special program of the Lantern Festival—guessing lantern riddles. Anyone who guesses correctly can take away a lantern, and there is also a gift prepared by the General’s Mansion.

"A piece of incense sticks in the ground. It won't break when you bend over. Hit an animal, what is it?" "What's so rare about this, isn't it an earth dragon!"

Chunxi immediately said from the side: "Young Master Pei answered correctly, it's the earth dragon!" He said and handed a small food box to Young Master Pei. In addition to delicious food and drinks, there are also fun things in it, which are loved by both adults and children.

"I figured it out too, but I'm not as quick as him!" Xu Mingxuan said angrily from the side, and Pei Shao looked around proudly. He wanted to win a few more gifts to go back tonight.

Next, everyone happily guessed lantern riddles together, and the sound of fireworks and firecrackers began to sound one after another in the distance. It must be that the capital is also bustling at this moment, and people are immersed in the joy of the Lantern Festival.

Just when Lin Shuran also asked the servants in the mansion to start setting off fireworks, several groups of people suddenly came outside the door one after another, all of them came to inform Zhen Guogong, Wu Anhou and Xu Junze, saying that King Ling had just been killed.

The cheerful atmosphere came to an abrupt end, and everyone was stunned. Zhen Guogong Lei Yi, Wu'an Hou Jiang Cheng, Xu Junze, Lei Zhanpeng and the others hurried out of the General's Mansion. King Ling was killed suddenly. This matter was no small matter. They Must hurry to see what's going on.

Both Yang and Wen could not continue to stay in the General's Mansion with peace of mind, so Lin Shuran ordered his servants to escort them back to the mansion safely. Afterwards, the guests in the mansion also left one by one. Everyone was shocked by the news that King Ling was suddenly killed. Feeling uneasy, I don't know what will happen in the capital.

Princess Jiangyue was also escorted back to the palace by the royal guards. Uncle Wu decided to stay at the General's Mansion temporarily tonight. He didn't know who assassinated King Ling. He was worried about the safety of Lin Shuran and the children in the mansion, so it's better to stay in the caretaker. some.

The originally bustling capital suddenly fell silent. The joy of the festival was shattered by the death of King Ling and turned into uneasiness. There were many soldiers on the street. The people didn't know what happened, but they all had a premonition that it was not a good thing. A lot of people hurried home, it's not good to be too busy these days, it's safer to stay at home honestly.

The guests all went home, and the young masters of the Xu family lost their interest. They went to bed to rest after going to their rooms to wash. At this time, they can't make trouble for Lin Shuran and Xu Junze, it doesn't matter if they play less.

After tidying up and going back to the room to rest, two quarters passed, but there was no news of Xu Junze's return, and Lin Shuran didn't want to fall asleep. Why was King Ling killed at this time? To find out the clues, I am afraid that many clues will be broken after his death.

Not long after, Mei, who had been inquiring for news outside, came back and told Lin Shuran that the assassins of King Ling were a group of people with strong martial arts. At that time, King Ling was alone in the mansion. We are working together to arrest these assassins, and no trace of any assassins has been found yet.

Xu Junze didn't return all night, and Lin Shuran almost didn't sleep all night. She was wondering who killed King Ling?Does this group of people have anything to do with the case of the Ren family?What kind of secret is hidden in King Ling's death?I thought about it all night and imagined countless possibilities, but there was still no clear answer.

Xu Minghan also stayed up all night. He has long believed that Ling Wang was the mastermind behind the tragedy of the Ren family. The case was also caused by Ling Wang's deliberate slander, but now that Ling Wang died suddenly, it seemed that the thread that had been torn apart and sorted out was suddenly messed up again, and his heart became anxious.

It is impossible for Ling Wang to die when the case is about to be investigated for no reason. Xu Minghan can't sit still at home anymore, he wants to go out to find out more information, and even more wants to know how far Xiao Chen has reached in the investigation!
"Ma'am, the third young master has gone out!" Lingqin said to Lin Shuran after she woke up.

"Let Hanying keep an eye on him, don't let anything happen to him!" Although Xu Junze also sent secret guards to follow Xu Minghan, Lin Shuran was still worried, and asked Hanying to look at Xu Minghan again. In order to investigate the case of Ren's family, this child has kept secrets a lot. Li took a lot of thought, because he might have acted too aggressively, it seemed that he had to find a chance to have a good chat with him.

When Xu Minghan, who had been out for a day at night, returned to the mansion, his servants led him directly to Xu Junze's study room. When he walked in, he found Lin Shuran was there.

Xu Minghan saluted them first, then looked at Xu Junze and asked, "When did father return home? Did he catch the assassin who killed King Ling? Why did they assassinate King Ling?"
