"Come in!" Xianzong didn't have time to appreciate the feeling of "surviving a disaster" at this moment, and responded from outside the tent.

When Lord Wang Rongan entered the tent, everyone in the central military tent looked normal again. Lord Wang shuddered when he saw Gu Xinglang standing with Yu Xiaoxiao.

Xianzong asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Lord Wang knelt on the ground and hurriedly performed the etiquette of monarch and subject to Emperor Xianzong. He said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, the Prince Consort, why, why is he here?"

Emperor Xianzong looked at his Dali Temple Minister and said, "Why can't the Prince Consort be here with me? What exactly do you want to see me for?"

Lord Wang glanced at Yu Xiaoxiao.

Yu Xiao: "My Lord, why are you looking at me again? If you have something to say, just say it."

Lord Wang took a deep breath, took out a petition from his sleeve, raised it above his head, and said to Emperor Xianzong: "Your Majesty, two hours ago, a woman named Ruan brought 27 people from Xianghe Village to the Dali Temple to sue the prince consort."

"What?" Yu Xiaoxiao was about to jump after hearing what Lord Wang said.

Gu Xinglang pulled Yu Xiaoxiao and whispered, "Listen to what these people are saying to me."

Xianzong glanced at Gu Xingnuo.

Young Master Gu stepped forward, took the complaint from Lord Wang, and placed it on Xianzong's desk.

Xianzong took the complaint in his hand without even reading it, and asked Lord Wang, "What is that woman suing the prince consort for?" Xianzong swore that if this was a love debt lawsuit between that woman and Gu Xinglang, he would never let Gu Xinglang go!

Lord Wang hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Ruan Shi and the people of Xianghe Village sued the prince consort for massacring Xianghe Village."

Xianzong dropped the complaint in his hand onto the table and asked in surprise, "When did this happen?" When did Gu Xinglang go crazy and kill people?

Lord Wang said, "Yesterday, last night."

No one in the tent spoke for a moment. Last night? Wasn't this a ghost? Gu Xinglang was in Xishan last night. How could he have gone to Xianghe Village to kill someone?

Gu Xingnuo frowned and asked Lord Wang, "Who is that Ruan?"

Lord Wang said, "My Lord, that woman claimed to be the daughter of Ruan Shihao. Ji Shihao..." Lord Wang glanced at Gu Xinglang and whispered, "She said that Ruan Shihao was killed and dismembered by the prince consort. Not only was the body dismembered, but the head was also missing."

Ruan Shihao's daughter, Yu Xiaoxiao, began to gnash her teeth. She knew that this soft and sweet thing was a disaster. Ruan Shihao was obviously saved by them, why did he die? And he was even cut into pieces? Soft and sweet is going to die!

At this time, Xianzong slammed the table and said angrily: "What nonsense!" Ruan Shihao was in the military camp at this moment!

Lord Wang knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, these people are now kneeling in front of the Dali Temple with corpses, begging the court to make a decision for them."

Xianzong was so angry that he would take charge of these people who were talking nonsense. He would definitely send them to hell!

Gu Xingnuo asked, "Are these people really residents of Xianghe Village?"

Lord Wang said, "I checked their household registration books and they are definitely residents of Xianghe Village."

"The village was massacred," Jing Mo said at this time, "which means that except for this Ruan family and 27 villagers in Xianghe Village, all other villagers are dead?"

Lord Wang said, “Yes.”

Xianzong asked, "Have you been there?"

Lord Wang said, "In reply to Your Majesty, I have taken the coroner and the bailiffs to Xianghe Manor. There are no living people in the manor. Corpses are everywhere, and none of them are intact. The whole manor is in the same miserable state as Liu Shuban's home that day." When Lord Wang said this, he might have remembered the scene of broken corpses everywhere in Xianghe Manor, and he retched with a pale face.

Su Zhao interrupted at this time: "How many villagers are there in Xianghe Village?"

Lord Wang didn't know Su Zhao, but he still answered honestly: "Xianghe Village is a big village with more than a thousand villagers."

Yu Xiao: "So more than a thousand people died? All of them were chopped to pieces, and it was all done by my little Gu?" Has the Eternal Life Temple gone crazy in order to make her little Gu a rat crossing the street? !

Lord Wang did not dare to answer Yu Xiaoxiao's question.

Xianzong pointed at Gu Xinglang and asked Lord Wang: "Do you think the prince consort looks like a murderous demon?"

Lord Wang didn't look at Xing Lang, and said to Emperor Xianzong, "Your Majesty, Ruan and the villagers of Xianghe Manor made too much noise, and they are carrying too many broken bodies. Sigh," Lord Wang sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the whole capital is spreading this matter, and I can't suppress it."

"Waste!" Xianzong slammed the table and cursed, "What a bunch of bastards! Just put them in the prison. Why are you nagging at them?"

When Lord Wang heard what Emperor Xianzong said, his heart tightened. It seemed that the emperor wanted to protect Gu Xinglang, but now this matter has alarmed the whole city. You can't just pretend that the body parts on the ground in Xianghe Manor don't exist, right?

Yu Xiao: "Ruan Tian said his father is dead, right?"

Lord Wang said, "Yes." The fact that the Gu and Ruan families had fallen out was no secret in the officialdom of Fengtian, but Ruan Shihao was still Gu Xinglang's cousin. The nephew killed his uncle. Lord Wang shook his head. How big a hatred could this be?

Yu Xiao: "Okay, I'll bring him over to you."

Lord Wang asked, "Who does the princess want me to see?"

Su Zhao then said: "From the tone of your voice, you have already determined that the prince consort is the murderer?"

Lord Wang naturally didn't believe Ruan Tian's words, but all the survivors of Xianghe Village said that the murderer was Gu Xinglang. These people were old and young, and had no relatives or friends with Ruan Tian. Ruan Tian couldn't make them rich, so why did these villagers insist that the murderer was Gu Xinglang? In Lord Wang's opinion, Gu Xinglang couldn't be said to be the murderer, but the prince consort was highly suspected.

Su Zhao said: "If it's Ruan's business..."

"I didn't kill anyone," Gu Xinglang interrupted Su Zhao who was about to say that Ruan Shihao was not dead, and said coldly: "Ruan Shihao's death has nothing to do with me."

"What, what?" Yu Xiaoxiao was shocked. Is her little Gu going crazy again? Ruan Shihao is not dead!

Su Zhao stared at Gu Xinglang in a daze for a moment, then his expression changed slightly and he said, "Qinghui, you..."

Jing Mo raised his hand, touched Su Zhao's hand, and winked at Su Zhao, telling him not to speak.

Su Zhao stopped talking and saw Jing Mo looking at Gu Xingnuo, but he also looked at Gu Xingnuo.

Young Master Gu was looking at his younger brother at this moment, his face full of shock.

Yu Xiao: "Xiao Gu, what's wrong with you? Ruan Shihao clearly..."

"Get out!" Xianzong shouted at Lord Wang.

Yu Xiaoxiao's words were interrupted by Xianzong's roar. Only then did she realize that the voice of her father yelling at her to get out was not the loudest voice.

Lord Wang retreated tremblingly. He did not dare to leave the military camp without an order, so he could only guard in front of the central military tent.

Xianzong said to Gu Xinglang, "Have you discussed this idea with Linglong?"
