Super Dimension Kill

He tried his best to reject the opinions of the uncles and elders of the royal family, and even did not hesitate to disappoint the thirteenth son, just because he was unwilling to severely punish the eighth son!

It was not that he loved his eighth son very much. If he had to say his favorite son, it would naturally be the eldest prince, Zhou Minggan, who was made the crown prince by him.

As the saying goes, the common people love the youngest, and the emperor loves the eldest son.

That's it.

But the reason why he wanted to protect the eighth son was that he didn't want to kill his own flesh and blood.

Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, let alone a human.

Moreover, I don't know if it was because he was old, he no longer had the ambitions he had when he was young for the imperial power, but he liked to enjoy the happiness of family more and more.

Even if it wasn't the eighth son, if it was any other prince, he would not be willing to execute him to set an example.

Although this was indeed a bit unfair to the thirteenth son, there was no way, someone had to suffer in everything.

But he never expected that the more he didn't want to happen, the more it happened!

The eighth son he had tried so hard to save died after entering the clan house!

For a moment, the old emperor was extremely angry. He looked at the clan house manager in front of the desk with a fierce look in his eyes and asked sternly: "Speak! What happened!"

The clan house manager had already knelt on the ground at this time, and replied tremblingly: "Eight, Eighth Prince... He was poisoned to death!"

Then, he told the details of the incident.

After Zhou Mingcheng died, he immediately sealed off the clan house and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

Afterwards, the imperial physician came and performed an autopsy on Zhou Mingcheng, and found that Zhou Mingcheng died of poisoning.

After checking all the things and objects in the room, it was finally discovered that the drinking water was poisoned!

After tracing the source, the source of the poison was finally found in the water tank in the courtyard of the Jingsi Room.

A purse wrapped in a silver ingot.

The silver was not poisonous, but the purse containing the silver contained the highly toxic "Ganqing Poison".

"Ganqing poison! Ganqing poison again!!"

The old emperor shouted angrily: "Where is the murderer?!"

The clan official was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then replied in a trembling voice: "No, the murderer has not been found..."

They found the purse, but did not find the owner of the purse.

After the eighth prince was poisoned by Ganqing, his heart-wrenching screams resounded throughout the clan, and everyone heard it.

Therefore, when they searched the purse in the water tank and asked who it belonged to, no one foolishly admitted it.

In the end, he could only list all the people present at the time as suspects and detained them all.

"Waste! You bunch of waste!"

Hearing that the murderer was not found, the old emperor was completely furious. He picked up a memorial from later generations on the table and smashed it hard on the clan official with a "snap" sound, cursing loudly.

The eunuchs around him were so scolded that they dared not move or raise their heads.

The steward of the clan residence was even more so. He could only kneel on the ground, trembling with fear, and allowed himself to be abused and smashed.

That night, it was said that the old emperor's angry curses could be heard throughout the palace.

Of course, this was actually exaggerated.

But it was true that with the imperial study as the center, the curses could be heard in the palaces within a radius of one kilometer nearby.

In the second half of the night, Song Renfeng was summoned to the palace overnight and was once again fully responsible for investigating the death of the eighth prince Zhou Mingcheng.

And the first person that this great detective of the Great Zhou Dynasty found was Su Leng!

…

"I disturbed the sweet dreams of His Highness the Thirteenth Prince late at night. I hope His Highness the Thirteenth Prince will forgive me. It was only because the situation was urgent and I had no choice.

When Song Renfeng and a group of guards knocked on the door of the Prince's Pavilion, the sky was about to dawn and it was still dim.

What surprised Song Renfeng was that Su Leng did not sleep!

"Why is His Highness the Thirteenth Prince awake late at night? "

After Xiaodie opened the door and led Song Renfeng and his men to the courtyard, Su Leng's room, Song Renfeng looked at Su Leng sitting on the bed and asked in surprise.

Su Leng smiled bitterly and asked back: "If you were me, would you be able to sleep?"

Song Renfeng was speechless.

The main reason why he was the first to find Su Leng was that according to the logic of the investigation, the thirteenth prince was the most suspicious of the death of the eighth prince!

He was poisoned by the eighth prince a few days ago. Now the eighth prince was arrested in the palace and locked up in the clan house. He died of poisoning before a day had passed. Anyone would first suspect that the thirteenth prince, who had the biggest gap with him in these days, was the murderer.

If he, Song Renfeng, was the thirteenth prince, he really couldn't sleep at this time.

However, it cannot be judged that the other party is not the murderer based on this point. It is still necessary to investigate first.

"Your Highness Thirteen, it seems that you already know about the eighth prince, so please answer me a few questions! "

After a moment of silence, Song Renfeng looked directly into Su Leng's eyes and spoke.

Su Leng also met his gaze and nodded, saying, "Ask."

Then, Song Renfeng asked Su Leng a series of questions at a very fast speed, such as when and where, what he did, who he knew, what he ate today, what he had been doing recently, etc.

Some were related to the case, some were unrelated to the case, and some were inexplicable. His thoughts were very jumpy and his speech was fast.

Su Leng answered honestly one by one.

His whereabouts during these days were testified by Xiaodie and the guards of the Prince's Pavilion, as well as the palace maids and eunuchs of the Imperial Hospital and some other palaces. His alibi was perfect.

As for the other party's extremely fast speaking speed and those jumpy thoughts, for Su Leng, it was still too conservative, and it was not enough to make Su Leng unable to change his mind and blurt out something subconsciously.

After asking and seeing nothing unusual, Song Renfeng suddenly took out the coarse linen purse containing silver ingots and asked: "Have you ever seen this kind of purse, Your Highness Thirteen?"

Su Leng looked at it and shook his head and said, "No."

Song Renfeng did not look at him at this time, but glanced at Xiaodie in the corner.

But he only saw Xiaodie with a confused face.

This made Song Renfeng frown slightly.

"Okay, I'm done asking. Thank you for your cooperation, Your Highness Thirteen. I'm really sorry for bothering you until now."

Seeing that he didn't ask anything and there was no clue on the expression on the face of the Thirteenth Prince, Song Renfeng didn't stay any longer. He apologized and left the Prince's Pavilion with a group of guards.

After that, he left the palace without stopping and went to the various princes' mansions in the capital.

Although the Eighth Prince was not the Crown Prince, he was poisoned now, and it cannot be said that other princes were completely out of the question.

After all, the open and secret struggles and intrigues of the royal family have been known to passers-by since ancient times.

Sometimes when two parties fight, it is very likely that the one who dies is not one of the two parties, but someone else.

And investigating a case means to investigate according to every possibility.

So, Song Renfeng began to investigate and interrogate each prince.

Then, he was confused...

What the hell are these princes? !

Why do some people talk more erratically than him? !

Some others, whose poor acting skills were so embarrassing that he couldn't help but pick his feet!

He even found that one of the princes had the same movements and behaviors as a woman!

This made him feel sick.

He had heard that the people in the royal family were very chaotic, and some even had a love affair with each other. Today, he was enlightened!

After a thorough investigation, Song Renfeng felt that all those "weird" princes were suspects!

This made him feel a headache.

Through the feedback of [self-omniscience], Su Leng, who had been paying attention to Song Renfeng's investigation, almost laughed out loud when he saw him interacting with the princes who were "played by players" and being tortured beyond recognition.

Especially the prince who was played by a female player, the "interaction" between the two made him laugh every time he saw it.

"Fourth Prince, what have you been doing these days? Do you have any evidence..."

"I'm thinking about you~"

"...Fourth Prince, please answer my question directly."

"So Lord Song likes the front view, what a coincidence, I like it too, but the back view is also OK, hehe."

"...Fourth Prince, please don't tell me that these are irrelevant..."

"Then let's not talk about it, just do it!"

"...Today, everything I say and do with the Fourth Prince will be reported to the Emperor, so please pay attention to your words and deeds!"

"Oh, you This person is so boring! I just want to let you know something!"

"Hmm? What is it?"

"Forget it, honest advice is unpleasant to the ear, and Lord Song will definitely not want to hear it."

"Fourth Prince, please speak freely!"

"Seriously?"

"Seriously!"

"Okay..."

"Actually, I want to say that sometimes what you carry on your shoulders is not necessarily responsibility, what stabs you in the back is not necessarily a knife, and what you scream and shout is not necessarily pain... Lord Song is a handsome man, have you ever thought about taking on the responsibility given by me?"

"...Fourth Prince, please respect yourself!"
