Chapter 90 I Killed
"I see."
Yan Fengxiao responded by turning sideways.
He glanced at the little baby lying in the cradle, who was staring at the rattle in his hand and smiling, and the doting look in his eyes quietly disappeared.
Then he said to Qin Mingzhu, "I'll go over and take a look."
Qin Mingzhu also stood up immediately and said, "I'll go too."
Yan Fengxiao's eyes flickered slightly, and he was a little surprised.
"Those envoys from the Northern Frontier Kingdom are a bit difficult to deal with."
Qin Mingzhu slowly raised the corners of her lips, "Yan Qinghao is my ex-husband after all. I have a reason to go there and collect his body. Besides, letting him die like this is really too easy..."
Qin Mingzhu lowered her eyes slightly, with a cold look flashing in her eyes.
After killing Yan Qinghao and Princess Su, she was certainly not idle.
Although Yan Qinghao is dead, no one knows his crime.
Even today, many people still believe that he was a hero who died on the battlefield.
Qin Mingzhu knew that the old marquis of Dingyuan had made great contributions, and the current emperor would most likely not pursue the charges against Yan Qinghao.
But... this is unfair to the 50,000 soldiers who actually died on the battlefield under the leadership of Yan Qinghao!
Their loved ones should know the truth and who their enemy is...it would be best if they could get adequate compensation!
When Yan Qinghao was escorted back, Yan Fengxiao did not reveal his identity for the sake of the emperor's face.
But since that day, Qin Mingzhu has secretly bribed some people to spread the news that Marquis Dingyuan is not dead.
The families of the 50,000 people who died in the battle that year are still alive. Qin Mingzhu had already prepared manpower and quietly went to notify them.
To this day, many soldiers' families have gathered in the capital and are staying in the inns she arranged.
Just waiting for the right moment to deliver the most fatal blow to the entire Dingyuan Marquis...
This is also the most important reason why she got the divorce papers in advance.
Yan Fengxiao seemed to understand what she meant.
"Okay, be careful."
Qin Mingzhu blinked her eyes and raised the corners of her lips to smile cunningly: "I understand."
The two discussed the details of the next action.
Qin Mingzhu has already told Yan Fengxiao everything about her rebirth, so there is no need to hide the next action from him.
Soon, the two men went to the scene of the incident one after another.
The reason why the eldest prince sent someone to find Yan Fengxiao and asked him to come here directly was certainly not simple.
He was thinking about how to make this matter bigger.
The emperor knew clearly that Yan Fengxiao was suspected of harming Princess Su, but he still gave him such an important task, giving him the opportunity to tamper with it. This shows that it is impossible for the emperor to convict Yan Fengxiao just by making a complaint.
I really don’t know what’s so good about Yan Fengxiao that makes my father value him so much and entrust all the important tasks to him!
Yan Fengxiao even secretly carried out the orders of supervising all officials. Over the years, he impeached at least eighty officials, if not a hundred. In the eyes of civil and military officials, Yan Fengxiao was like a plague god, and even honest officials did not dare to provoke him.
The alleys were already filled with guards.
The incident here caused a big stir and attracted a lot of people to watch.
It was a rather unstable place, and there were many brave people. Even when the guards set up roadblocks, many people stretched their necks and even climbed the wall to look over here.
The eldest prince also intended to let people know what happened here so that he could use the people and put the blame on Yan Fengxiao, so he didn't drive away the people around him.
Soon, people from the Governor's Office arrived one after another.
The eldest prince had been waiting impatiently for a long time. When he saw Yan Fengxiao riding his horse leisurely, his face suddenly darkened.
"Commander Yan, this prince wants to ask you, you usually patrol the entire city, but you didn't even find more than a dozen bodies here. How did you do it?"
Yan Fengxiao got off his horse and took a look at the charred corpse over there.
He bowed slightly, then raised his head and asked, "Your Highness, are you concerned about the safety of the Imperial City?"
"certainly!"
The eldest prince spoke with great confidence.
Yan Fengxiao nodded slightly, "It is because I discovered this group of thieves that they are buried here now."
The eldest prince was instantly speechless. He opened his mouth but couldn't think of how to refute.
How could Yan Fengxiao's words not make sense? These were all corpses, how could they cause chaos in the capital?
"This prince wants to ask you where the murderer who killed them is!"
Yan Fengxiao looked calm and composed.
"I killed him."
These three simple words left the eldest prince Yan Xuanjing dumbfounded.
Scored twice!
Yan Fengxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, "If Your Highness is interested in the case of my Governor's Mansion, you can apply for a transfer order from the Emperor and investigate this matter again."
His meaning was very clear: the eldest prince was exceeding his authority.
The power in his hands was given by the emperor. Even if the eldest prince had doubts, he would go to the emperor to impeach Yan Fengxiao.
It is not possible to directly interrogate or punish Yan Fengxiao.
Every country has its own laws and every family has its own rules. Even a prince cannot act recklessly.
Yan Xuanjing's expression changed constantly. If other ministers were in front of him, they would only flatter him and would not dare to fart, let alone contradict him!
However, every time he met Yan Fengxiao, he was repeatedly defeated and was completely helpless against him.
Even though he had thousands of ideas in his mind to get rid of this person, but... he couldn't beat him, he couldn't talk him out of it, and no one paid attention to him when he complained. What could he do? He was also desperate!
Several envoys from the Northern Frontier also gathered over from a distance.
The old imperial preceptor, who was in the lead, had red eyes. "Your Highness, please confirm the identities of these people. I'm really worried that Her Royal Highness the Princess is among them!"
The eldest prince collected his thoughts and stopped looking at Yan Fengxiao.
Instead, he said to the coroner who had just arrived from behind, "Find out the identities of these people and the cause of their death!"
"Yes, sir!"
There were three coroners in total.
The three began to carefully examine each body from beginning to end.
After the final statistics, it was found that all the people had died before being burned by the fire. All of them were injured by swords and had experienced fighting before their death.
These people are all martial artists, with thick bones and some joints severely worn.
The old imperial preceptor of the Northern Frontier quickly asked, "Is there a woman's body among these people?"
The three coroners shook their heads one after another: "My Lord, these bodies are all male. There are no female bodies..."
Even if it is burnt and the features cannot be distinguished, the gender can still be identified.
Upon hearing that there was no woman's body, the Old Imperial Master of Northern Frontier and others looked at each other in bewilderment.
Their faces did not show much joy, on the contrary, they became uglier and uglier.
Yan Fengxiao spoke at this time.
"Drag out that U-turned body."
Hearing Yan Fengxiao's order, guards from the Governor's Office came forward and dragged over a corpse.
On the finger of the corpse was a ring with the word "Yan" carved on it.
Even though the ring was pitch black, the writing was still very clear.
Yan Fengxiao raised his eyes and announced to the public, "This corpse is that of Yan Qinghao, Marquis of Dingyuan. He faked his own death over half a year ago, abandoning 50,000 border generals and becoming a deserter. He was subsequently recaptured, but before he could be convicted again, he contacted the rebels and escaped from prison. Therefore, I executed him on the spot. These people are all his accomplices in the rebellion!"
