Chapter 41 The fog is heavy

"Sir Liu Renfang, died... in the hut." The man said in a voice that was almost crying.

These words were like a huge stone thrown into the water, causing a pot to explode in the palace.

All the officials who were originally in high spirits were stunned, with horror written on their faces.

None of them spoke. You looked at me and I looked at you, as if there was a huge shadow hanging over your head.

Li Feibai, on the other hand, sighed secretly in his heart: After all, he still failed to capture him alive.

"Bang"

Putting down the cup in his hand, Nangong Ding immediately turned around and walked out of the main hall with a pale face.

Nangong Shan was ordered to come here, and he was considered to be half of the person in charge. If such a big thing happened, he naturally had to follow up and take a look.

Lin Tianchong and Li Feibai also followed behind.

"No one is allowed to leave the Tsing Yi Division without permission. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!" Although Nangong Ding had already walked out of the main hall, this order clearly rang in everyone's ears, even the entire Tsing Yi Division.

The officials knew that they would not be able to leave until the suspicion was eliminated.

The incident occurred only two houses away from the main hall, and Xiao Wuji had already led the Jing'an camp troops to surround the scene.

Nangong Ding rushed over with a straight face.

I saw eight corpses lying on the ground, three from the Jing'an Camp and five from the Assassination Camp.

When Li Feibai saw this, he immediately made a judgment in his heart: No, it wasn't Fang Qing's hand?

If he killed Liu Renfang in the hut, he could have just escaped. Why bother to jump out and kill the eight people from the Tsing Yi Division?

Moreover, from a glance, the clothes of these eight people were clean and not stained by the filth in the latrine.

Fang Qing was covered in feces and urine. If he really jumped out and killed these eight people, there would be some dirt on their clothes or where they stood.

Since it wasn't Fang Qing who did it, it was one of the people present today. Li Feibai roughly concluded.

"Your Majesty, this subordinate is not doing well..." Seeing Nangong Ding approaching, Xiao Wuji looked ashamed and frowned.

"Where is the body?" Nangong Ding interrupted him directly.

"Still in the hut, untouched."

There is a row of huts, with a total of twenty huts, each of which is individually separated.

Li Feibai followed Nangong Shan into the thatched room and saw Liu Renfang leaning against the wall, blood still dripping from the corner of her mouth, her eyes wide open and filled with fear.

Nangong Ding squatted down and pressed on Liu Renfang a few times.

"The sternum was shattered, and the heart was interrupted by a punch." Nangong Ding said to himself.

"This man's cultivation is not weak." Nangongshan agreed.

"Wow, look at his eyes so wide, as if he's seen a ghost." Li Feibai said seemingly casually.

"Fei Li, don't talk nonsense." Nangongshan shouted to stop him.

"Your Majesty, I'm not talking nonsense. Look at his eyes, it's obvious that he has seen something incredible."

Li Feibai was reminding him intentionally or unintentionally.

The speaker was "unintentional", but the listener was intentional. Nangong Ding stood up, slowly turned his head and looked at Li Feibai, and asked: "Then do you think he saw something incredible?"

"It goes without saying that he must have seen the true face of the murderer, and this murderer is someone he had never expected. From another perspective, this murderer is very likely to be familiar with Mr. Liu."

Hearing this, Nangong Ding stared at Li Feibai with complicated eyes again.

After a long time, he left the hut without saying anything.

"Who discovered the scene first?" Nangong Ding asked Xiao Wuji.

"This is Zheng Gongquan, the Minister of War."

"Bring him here."

After a while, a middle-aged man was brought to the scene by Xiao Wuji.

"Zheng Gongquan, the minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, has met the prince."

"Tell me, how did you find out?" Nangong Ding asked.

"Actually, it's nothing special. I just happened to go to the latrine to relieve myself. When I came out, I saw many people lying on the ground. I went up and took a look and found that they were all dead, so I called the people from the Qingyi Department."

"During this period, did you see anything unusual or hear anything?"

Zheng Gongquan immersed himself in thought, shook his head for a long time and said, "I was very anxious and didn't pay much attention."

Nangong Ding was a little disappointed, there were no clues at all.

"Oh, right!" Zheng Gongquan suddenly said.

"Come on, what did you remember?" Nangong Ding hurriedly stepped forward.

"While I was urinating, I heard several 'bang bang' sounds, like the sound of a fist hitting someone."

"Uncle Huang." Nangongshan said at this time: "The facts are very clear. Before Zheng Gongquan entered the latrine, nothing had happened. When he entered the latrine to relieve himself, eight guards from the Qingyi Division, together with Liu Renfang, were in this period.

Time is killed."

"hiss"

Li Feibai took a breath, pretended to be shocked, and said: "It takes just one pee to kill so many people. Is this murderer so powerful?"

Nangong Ding's face was solemn, and no one knew what he was thinking.

He continued to ask: "Who else went to the latrine with you?"

"In addition to Mr. Liu Renfang and Mr. Liu, I only remember that there are Mr. Qian Liangye Qian and Mr. Li Chongli, the Minister of Rites. The rest should be family members of officials or servants guarding them. I don't know them."

"Uncle Huang, neither of these two people know how to fight." Nangongshan said.

Without answering, Nangong Ding continued to ask: "Did you all just come out to relieve yourself at the end of the chess game?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, how could you miss such a wonderful game?" Zheng Gongquan seemed to still be recalling Li Feibai's last move.

Li Feibai, on the other hand, was not listening to their conversation at all. He just kept looking at the eight corpses on the ground.

"You go down first." Nangong Ding said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zheng Gongquan retreated.

At this time, Sun Qirui also rushed over after hearing the news. He was panting and looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, this..."

As soon as he stretched out his hand, Nangong Ding interrupted his meaningless speech and asked directly: "You and Wuji were patrolling, did you find anything unusual?"

"We patrolled the east and west courtyards and found no abnormalities or signs of intrusion by outsiders," Sun Qirui replied.

"It can't be an outsider. No matter how high his cultivation level is, he can't come in from the outside without knowing it, kill so many people, and then leave so easily. Even if he can hide it from us, he can't avoid the prince's detection.

." Xiao Wuji spoke.

"Uncle Emperor, could it be that you were playing chess just now and your mind was completely focused on the game, so you didn't notice the intrusion of outsiders?" Nangongshan said.

"Impossible!" Nangong Ding waved his hand and denied his statement.

"There is no one in this world who can sneak into Tsing Yi Division within a hundred feet without letting me notice. What's more, the outside of Tsing Yi Division is now guarded by black dragon guards. Therefore, the person who did it must be the one who was in Tsing Yi Division today.

These people." Nangong Ding said firmly.

"Who could it be?" Zheng Gongquan murmured to himself.

"I think the truth is clear."
