Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 351; Unlucky Years

For three days, Gao Fu and Jing Zhaoyin secretly investigated what happened that night.

Although we already know who the murderer is, it is very difficult to obtain conclusive evidence.

Whether it was the East Palace or the Prince of Chu's Mansion, it was not something they could just go in and search. They could not find the money that was taken away, nor could they find the person who committed the murder that night.

How can you be sure who it is?
Emperor Zhaowu was very dissatisfied with this, but he didn't say much.

Gao Fu and Jing Zhaoyin could actually vaguely guess some of his thoughts. It was just that things had come to him and they needed to give him an attitude.

But if he really insisted on investigating something, he actually didn't care, and even said it was best to do it this way.

After all, he is his son and the prince. It would be too embarrassing for the royal family to make a fuss.

Especially if it was just for a mere 20,000 yuan, he couldn't afford to lose this person.

Therefore, it was impossible to find out who was the best on the surface, but privately he still asked Gao Fu to pay close attention to the movements of the prince and the king of Chu.

He couldn't just leave it alone like this, otherwise how could King Qi be honest?

Maybe there will be more trouble.

And just when he asked Gao Fu to investigate secretly, something happened again in the capital.

A fire suddenly broke out in a secret house of Cao Guogong in the west of the city. The fire was so fast that many houses around the house were affected.

Twenty or thirty people around were burned and five died. Jing Zhaoyin rushed to the scene immediately after receiving the report.

Good guy, in the secret house of Cao Guogong, there are more than ten burnt corpses lying scattered.

Originally, Jing Zhaoyin didn't know who the owner of this house was. Just when he wanted someone to investigate, Cao Guogong came. At that time, Cao Guogong's face was gloomy. When he saw the more than ten corpses, his eyes were filled with tears. A fierce killing intent emerged.

Jing Zhaoyin, who was watching next to him, felt chills all over.

"Jing Zhaoyin, you have to give me a satisfactory answer to this matter within one day, otherwise the Duke of this country will have to give you a copy in the court."

After saying a word, Cao Guogong waved his sleeves and turned around.

Tu left Jing Zhaoyin in the same place with great bitterness. Who did he provoke?

He even wondered for a time whether he was having a bad time. Why had he been to the relatively peaceful capital, and why had there been so many murder cases recently?

"Bring the body back, then comfort the people around you, and ask the people around you if they have any clues."

After confessing that he wanted everything, Jing Zhaoyin also turned around and left.

About an hour later, it was already midnight, and a government official came back with some news.

Before the house fire happened tonight, someone heard a fierce fight in the house. Not long after, they heard bodies that seemed to be moving something.

And the yamen servant indeed found a shallow rut mark at the back door of that house.

"Fighting, moving?"

Jing Zhaoyin's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he felt that these two words were a bit familiar. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and his pupils suddenly shrank.

My heart immediately became bitter. What happened to me last time was really a sign.

He is not one of those people who relied on connections to get to this position. When he was working outside the capital a while ago, he also solved many cases.

It can be regarded as full of experience. When some things appear alone, you may be confused, but if you have been in a similar situation, you can get a glimpse of a lot of things. He still clearly remembered the situation in Qingshi Lane a few days ago, where people were killed and things were taken away.

It was the same thing today, especially when he knew that the house was in the name of Cao Guogong, what else could he not figure out?

It is not a secret among their circles in the capital that Duke Cao Guo has moved to the East Palace because of the child his daughter Zhao Yaner gave birth to.

The prince was involved in the Qingshi Lane case. At that time, he and the King of Chu were suspected of having robbed the King of Qi's 20,000 yuan. Now something happened to the house under Cao Guogong's name, and there were fights and moving.

What else doesn't he understand?

"Something big is going to happen."

With an idea already in his mind, Jing Zhaoyin calmed down.

The fight between the Crown Prince and the King of Qi and King Chu has begun to intensify. There is no telling what shocking events will happen in this capital in the future.

As the manager of public security in the capital, he, Jing Zhaoyin, would be the first to bear the brunt of anything that happened, and he might not be able to get well either inside or outside.

Suddenly, he felt that it would be better for him to withdraw from officialdom and stay away from the capital?
Being an official is indeed good, but life is important, especially if it involves a battle between kings. If you are not careful, your whole family may be in trouble.

Thinking of this, he seemed to have some idea.

"Go down."

The next day, Jing Zhaoyin personally led people to investigate and visit the people around him, and the news of the fire last night also spread in the capital.

Emperor Zhaowu also heard about it, but he didn't know the specific situation. He just regarded it as a private matter and Jing Zhaoyin was in charge. He didn't ask too much.

Huo Junyao, who was also at the hot spring villa, also heard the news. She knew a lot after Hongxiu reported it.

She had already guessed that this must be something between the three prince brothers.

But she was a little unsure about who was responsible for the attack and arson.

Both the king of Qi and the king of Chu had possibilities and motives.

Let’s talk about King Qi first. He may have investigated some clues, so he took action directly on the house under Cao Guogong’s name.

As for the King of Chu, it was even simpler. As one of the parties involved, he knew best who had stolen the money, so he would definitely pay close attention to the prince's subsequent actions.

Perhaps it was also investigated that the prince handed over the money to Cao Guogong, so he directly acted like a yellow bird behind.

"Tsk, tsk, it's getting more and more interesting."

She laughed and told Hongxiu to pay close attention to matters in the capital, especially the reaction of King Qi, King Chu and the prince.

On this day, Jingzhao Yindu personally led people outside to look for clues, showing great importance to it, but he did not find any highly pointed clues.

Mainly, he already had speculations in his mind and didn't want to get involved in them anymore. He avoided talking about many things intentionally or unintentionally.

How could he investigate anything under such circumstances?
In the evening, Cao Guogong personally went to Jingzhao Mansion to ask Jing Zhaoyin about the investigation. Naturally, Jing Zhaoyin said that he could not find anything in his investigation.

After all, when the incident happened, it was almost curfew, and there was no one on the street. After the fire, he also went to inquire about the families of the injured and deceased, but did not get any definite information. He just said that he heard the sound of fighting. .

As for the matter of moving things, he didn't say anything because it really couldn't be said.

If he did, there is no guarantee that Cao Guogong would not have thought that he already knew that the real murderer of the Qingshi Lane incident was the prince, and he himself would be in danger by then.
