Chapter 11 Begin the Investigation
December 25, 599, Dawu National Calendar.
Although it is the end of the year, it is just a normal day. What the people should do and what they should do.
However, Han Luoling's arrival seemed like a huge rock plunged into the calm lake, causing a sensation in this royal city.
Ordinary people only celebrate Han Luoling's beauty.
When she entered the city, many people came to see her reputation and even took a seat early just to see her respect.
After seeing this, there was no doubt about the name of the number one beauty in the Dawu Dynasty.
Compared to the mentality of ordinary people watching the excitement, in the circles of high-level and powerful people, there are undercurrents that are difficult for ordinary people to detect.
After Ning Shanzhi returned to his house, the door was closed and he refused to visit him. In his secret room, a man shrouded in a black robe was already waiting for him.
When Ning Shanzhi saw him, he quickly asked, "Does Your Highness have any news?"
The man said in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness is very disappointed. Your Highness said that you will properly resolve this matter as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you drag the Xuanyiwei to intervene, it will be difficult to be good."
Hearing the three words Xuanyiwei, Ning Shanzhi's face showed a look of panic.
Xuanyiwei is a secret spy unit directly belonging to the Emperor of Wu. He can arrest anyone, including royal relatives, who can conduct non-public interrogation of any suspect and directly convict and execute him.
If the Tiance Army was an invincible sword in the hands of Emperor Wu, then the Xuanyiwei was the sharpest dagger hidden in his sleeve.
After a long time, Ning Shanzhi seemed to have made an important decision and said to the man in black robe: "Please tell Your Highness that I will deal with the aftermath of this matter, and you don't need to worry about it."
The man in black nodded and said nothing, his body seemed to have merged into the shadows, and disappeared into the secret room after a moment, as if he had never been there before.
In another part of the royal city, the hall in the Knight Mansion was in a mess, with all kinds of precious antiques and jades falling all over the ground. The people stood outside the hall, lowering their heads and trembling.
Wang Qian stood alone in the hall, holding a scroll of pampered letters in his hand. Because of his anger, the veins on his arms thundered and trembled.
At this time, Wang Ran hurried over and saw this scene, paused, and still plucked up the courage to enter the hall.
"Father, what happened?"
"Last night, Han Luoling was attacked at Fengling Station."
Wang Ran was shocked and asked, "Who is so bold? How dare he assassinate Han Luoling?"
"Then, is it successful?"
"No." Wang Qian looked at Wang Ran's eyes, and a powerful aura enveloped him.
"Father?"
"The Ministry of Justice reported that there were fifty killers who assassinated Han Luoling, including four sixth-grade masters, but all were killed, and none of them were killed by a single knife."
"After confirmation from the Tiance Army and the Ministry of Justice, they all died of the Snow Blade Mad Sword!"
"What? Snow Blade Mad Sword?" Wang Ran was even more shocked. The Snow Blade Mad Sword is a family-born martial art of the Wang family and has never been passed down.
Wang Qian continued: "And, according to the confession of the North Gate guard last night, someone left the city gate with my Wang family's token."
"I just checked it. Everyone else's tokens are there. Ran'er, where is your token?"
"Of course I carry it with you and never leave you." After saying that, Wang Ran reached out to his waist to take out the token and presented it.
"Never left?"
"Never left."
"I heard you were drunk in Wanhua Pavilion last night."
"The child is just unable to relieve depression in his chest, so he vents it."
"Then how do you make sure no one takes your token after you get drunk and then return it before you wake up?"
When Wang Ran heard this, he was suddenly panicked.
Seeing his expression, Wang Qian asked sternly, "What did you do last night, where you have been, and who have offended you, all of them will be explained clearly!"
Seeing his father's face, Wang Ran knew the matter was serious and quickly told him honestly what happened last night, not daring to hide anything.
"According to your words, before entering Wanhua Pavilion, the token is still on your body."
"Yes father."
"When you were drinking, only the madam named Xue and Han Xu had contacted you. After getting drunk, the two girls would take you back to your room, right?"
"right."
"Come."
"Here!" Wang Qian gave the order, and several soldiers in armor appeared outside the hall.
"Cha Wanhua Pavilion who might have contacted Wang Ran last night, including the servant who served the food and the guests in the neighboring private rooms, focus on the madam named Xue and Han Xu."
After saying that, Wang Qian seemed to have thought of something and added: "Don't make a big fuss, don't make trouble in Wanhua Pavilion."
"promise!"
After the few people left, Wang Rancai said: "Father, it is logical that killing the assassin to protect Han Luoling is a meritorious act. Why do some people pretend to be from my Wang family? Isn't this just deducting the merits to us for nothing?"
"Do you think this is a credit?" Wang Qian said angrily, "For my father, I often remind you not to forget the location of my Wang family."
"Once you choose a team, you must be careful and walk on thin ice. Otherwise, if you have a slight mistake, you will be doomed."
Wang Ran is a smart person. When he heard Wang Qian's words, he naturally understood what his father meant.
This is not a merit, it is clearly a poison that arouses human life.
Who is it?
For some reason, the first figure that appeared in Wang Ran's mind was Han Xu, who had always been regarded as a waste by him.
Ten days ago, he was forced to fall into the lake by Han Xu's words. Looking back, there were many unreasonable things.
He ranks in the third rank and is the best among the young generation of Wangcheng. He has such a tenacious mind. How could he be influenced by a waste with no cultivation in words?
This is very unscientific.
"Can you behave like a pig and eat a tiger?" Wang Ran had just thought in his mind, and he was extinguished by himself.
Ask a teenager who is so courageous to play a pig and eat a tiger for six years? If so, then he is not a human, but a devil.
Moreover, last night, Han Xu stayed in the Qing'er's room in Wanhua Pavilion and did not come out until the morning. In the public eye, the royal city was well known, and there were many witnesses. He could not have been able to leave the city to kill the assassins.
"No matter whether you hide your strength or not, this year's end-of-year assessment will bring you the true form."
Just when the Wang family was extremely anxious, Han Xu was crossing his legs in his small yard, and savoring the fine wine he had returned from Wanhua Pavilion in the morning.
When he got home, he bought two cages of buns at the door to serve wine.
"Young master, the Wang family must be an ant on the hot pan now. I just don't know how you imitated the Snow Blade Mad Sword, but even Wang Qian himself couldn't tell it." Lin Feng asked curiously.
Han Xu said: "Young Master, I have my own tricks."
Even though I trust Lin Feng, I still can't tell him some secrets.
The existence of the martial arts download system is too shocking, and it is enough for Han Xu to know it himself.
Han Xu didn't say it, and Lin Feng didn't ask. He had long been used to the mystery of his young master.
After drinking the last sip of wine, Han Xu stretched and said, "I didn't sleep all night last night. I was a little tired. Uncle Lin should take a break early."
"The Ministry of Rites arranges that my sister will enter the palace to meet the queen tomorrow morning, so I have to accompany her."
"What a boring etiquette."
"Young Master, I'm afraid I won't be bored tomorrow."
"Yes, the Empress has always been the evil leader of the Six Palaces." Han Xu remembered many palace fighting dramas he had watched in his previous life. All of the Empress were as cunning as the sea, and could bend and stretch.
Especially the sentence "I can't do it!" made Han Xu quite impressed.
"Let's see how my sister will deal with it tomorrow."
