My princess always wants me to usurp the throne

Chapter 365
As soon as Shen's mansion moved to the new mansion, a bizarre case came across. After half a day and one night of investigation by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, some achievements were made.

This matter involved a lot, and caused a sensation in the ruling and opposition parties.

In the early court, all the officials waited early, waiting for the emperor to come to discuss the matter.

Emperor Ming came late, accompanied by Rong Zhan.

Everyone was surprised, the Seventh Prince seldom went to court, and he was always indifferent to court affairs.

Today, it appeared on the early court, and everyone couldn't help but sigh, I'm afraid it involved far more than they imagined.

After a while of pilgrimage, Rong Zhan sat on the lower left side of Emperor Ming, with a nonchalant expression and a clear look.

"Su Aiqing, is there any progress in the case of Shenfu Yayuan?" Emperor Ming had a sullen face, although he was not recovering from his illness, his voice was still full of energy.

All eyes were on Su Zheng.

Now Liu Guogong and the two servants of the household department are the most nervous.

Su Zheng, the servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, began to report: "Back to the emperor, after the inspection, the victims are all women, and they are probably in their 20s to [-]s."

"Based on the various things found, it can be judged that those women have been abused and even disabled."

"The lower officials have sent people to check the list of young women who have disappeared in Beijing in recent years."

Everyone whispered immediately when they heard the words, and they all condemned the murderer for his cruelty and audacity.

Liu Guogong hung his head and said nothing, Gu Shilang's back was already sweating.

Su Zheng paused for a moment, then continued: "Other than that, the bones found in the back mountain are quite messy, as if they were dug out temporarily and then moved there."

Liu Guogong was startled, raised his eyes, and looked at Su Zheng sharply, with an extremely gloomy expression.

"Master Su, did you check carefully? You can tell the truth in front of the emperor, not just speculate."

Su Zheng looked back indifferently, his brows were solemn, and his words were burning: "This official dares to report to the court in the morning, of course there is a reason for it!"

Liu Guogong snorted coldly and fell silent.

Emperor Ming asked: "Are there any other discoveries? Can anyone find out who did it?"

Su Zheng nodded slightly: "Your Majesty, Yayuan's formation has been indestructible for many years. To be able to do dirty things in it and persecute those women to death must be proficient in the Liu family's formation."

Before he finished speaking, Duke Liu angrily snapped back, "Master Su, what do you mean by our Liu family?"

Su Zheng said sternly: "The lower official is just inferring, what are you anxious about, Duke?"

"As we all know, the formation of Yayuanbu was completed by Li Tianshi and me, breaking the formation is by no means an easy task! Aren't your words misleading everyone?"

"As far as I know, there is a secret road leading to Yayuan in Gu Shilang's yard, and it has been excavated for many years in terms of its age."

"No matter how powerful the Liu family's formation is, it can't extend underground. Gu Shilang spared no effort in digging secret tunnels into the courtyard next door. What's his intention?"

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the hall!

It is obvious from Liu Guogong's words that everything is done by the Gu family and has nothing to do with the Liu family.

Su Zheng frowned and said nothing, the words he was interrupted were precisely about this.

It's not like moving flowers and trees in the back mountains, it's to avoid people's eyes and ears.

The age-old secret passage shows that it is not newly dug to avoid disaster.

Although Su Zheng had other suspicions, all the evidence of the crime did point to Gu Shilang.

Emperor Ming's eyes were icy cold, and he stared at Liu Guogong quietly, without saying a word.

Rong Zhan twitched the corner of his mouth, how early did Liu Cheng start planning such a big net?
Secret passages?

I'm afraid there are other ulterior things hidden in it, right?

Gu Shilang was dumbfounded, and looked at Liu Guogong in disbelief.
