Chapter 44 Murong Yi solves the case
If he solved the case, the fifth brother would have made a great contribution and gained the attention of his father, but at the same time, it would have revealed how incompetent he was.
How can he, a prince, be incompetent?
Then how will you rule Xifeng Kingdom in the future?
How do the ministers below view and obey him?
Murong Gan felt like there was a fire burning in his heart, making him extremely uncomfortable.
"Damn Old Five."
Murong Gan kicked the book under his feet hard.
All the valuable things in the study have been sold, leaving only a pile of books. Fortunately, these books cannot be broken by smashing or kicking, and can be reused.
Quite a relief.
After Murong Gan vented his anger and relieved it, he tidied his clothes, left the Prince's Mansion, and got on a carriage heading to Qi Mansion.
He has tried both soft and hard tactics to get rid of the tough Qi Mansion, but to no avail. If the Qi Mansion doesn't speak up today, then the Qi family will be ruined.
When he arrived at the gate of Qi Mansion, he saw that it was closed and there was no one guarding the gate. He asked the coachman to knock on the gate, but no one answered after knocking for a long time.
The driver put his ear to the door and listened for a while before returning to report to Murong Gan: "Your Highness, it's quiet inside. There should be no one there."
Murong Gan had a gloomy face and asked, "Are you sure?"
The driver said firmly, "I am sure there is no movement at all."
The Qi Mansion is such a big mansion, and there are so many people, whether it is the gatekeeper or the maids and servants in the mansion, it is impossible to say that it is quiet inside.
It only means one thing: the house is empty.
"Let's go back home." Murong Gan gritted his teeth. The Qi family must have run away, but the monk can run away, but the temple cannot. The Qi family has such a huge business, he doesn't believe that the Qi family will not even care about the business.
As long as the property is still there, why should you be afraid of exposing the Qi family?
What a joke! Once he catches the Qi family, let's see how he'll deal with them. They're really refusing to accept a toast and then being punished. He, the crown prince of a country, is being made fun of. It depends on whether they are smart enough.
After returning, Murong Gan called in the secret guards to see what the current situation of the Qi family's business was.
The secret guard returned quickly, less than two hours later, and said, "Your Highness, all the properties under the Qi family's name have been sold. Even the manager has been replaced. Even Qi Xuan's family has disappeared."
"Bang!"
Murong Gan didn't know what he grabbed and dropped it heavily to the ground.
"What a Qi family! This is outrageous."
Murong Gan was so angry that he sat down on a chair. He waved his hand to let the secret guards leave, and sat alone in the room, thinking about how to get silver. Many places under his name that needed silver had been cut off from supply, and he still owed today's money.
If he can't get more money, all his private businesses will be paralyzed.
Murong Gan slammed his fist on the table.
"Someone come."
An Yi jumped out again: "Master, what are your orders?"
"Take the ten people we transferred out earlier and have them find the Qi family and force them to hand over the silver. If they refuse, they will be killed without mercy."
If they are going to disappear, then just let them disappear completely.
Those who are not used by him will only end up dead.
"Yes, Master."
An flashed away.
That night, the capital city was ablaze with lights. Murong Yi took the record in his hand and read it carefully. This was the confession he got from the official's home who had been robbed this afternoon. Neither family had any contact with Murong Li, let alone any hatred or grudges.
There are quite a few other enemies, some of whom are in exile and some in Beijing.
It is unrealistic to find clues in these two.
But these are just two companies. There are more than a dozen of them. It won’t be difficult to find clues after all of them are investigated.
Murong Yi put the information down and thought to himself, how should he solve this case?
He also wanted to use this opportunity to solve the case to make a great contribution and show himself to the world. It is said that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a prince who does not want to be an emperor is not a good prince.
He has this identity and has more advanced knowledge in his mind than here. The position of emperor is very suitable for him and he is bound to fight for it.
As for the ruthless fool that is the prince, if he were to come to power, his fate would probably not be much better.
Among his brothers and sisters, every one of them was brought down by the prince.
Those who died died, those who were disabled were disabled, and those who were exiled were exiled.
He is the next target.
He finally has a chance to live again, he won't just wait foolishly for others to take his life.
“Knock knock knock…”
Just as he was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Immediately, a butler pushed the door open, placed a small iron tube on Murong Yi's desk, and then retreated respectfully.
This was the message from Mingyue Pavilion. He couldn't wait to take out the small note from the small iron tube and read it quickly.
After browsing, Murong Yi thought thoughtfully.
The content on the note was exactly what Su Yue had done in the Jingzhao Prefecture prison.
"One officer suddenly fell to the ground, clutching his head and screaming in pain. What happened? Was he poisoned?"
Murong Yi muttered to himself, his fingers tapping lightly on the table, but his mind was racing.
Poisoning is impossible. If it were, it would not just be one officer who was poisoned. How could it be just one officer?
Anyone with a little common sense knows that if poison is in the form of a pill and is only given to one person, then only that person will be poisoned.
What happened at the scene was considered an emergency. If someone had poisoned someone on the scene, either with powder or liquid medicine, in these two cases, the poison would have floated in the air and anyone who smelled it would have been poisoned. It was absolutely impossible that only one officer was poisoned.
Moreover, the officer only felt pain for a few dozen breaths before getting up as if nothing had happened.
He had seen people with such methods in novels. Either the person was a cultivator who possessed magic that could give someone a headache.
Even such a bizarre thing as time travel happened to him, so nothing was impossible, so he made a bold guess.
The second is that someone has psychic powers and can attack others. If this is the case, it makes sense.
However, it was useless for him to guess here. It seemed that he had to go to Jingbei Yin tomorrow to ask the officer in person.
Perhaps this could be a breakthrough, Murong Yi's brows relaxed as he thought about it.
The next morning, Murong Yi went directly to Jingzhao Yin and found the prefect of Jingzhao. The prefect's surname was Li. When he saw Prince Yi coming, he immediately came out to greet him.
"Your humble servant greets Prince Yi."
Murong Yi waved his hand and said, "Get up. I have official business to attend to. To make a long story short, Governor Li, please call the jailers and guards who were guarding the Su family members a few days ago."
Li Fuyin was stunned, his heart pounding. What did Prince Yi mean by this?
Is the Su family going to have their case overturned?
Li Fuyin said nervously, "Yes, I will go and call him myself."
Murong Yi nodded and sat in the lobby waiting.
