Chapter 95: No way, no death
Hearing footsteps, Princess Qi Yang raised her eyelids and said weakly, "You're here."
Jiang Jiu said calmly: "I found what you wanted."
Princess Qiyang raised her lips and smiled proudly: "You are really smart. You have found the treasure. I will definitely speak well for you in front of His Majesty. With your ability, it will be no problem for you to be the ninth brother's concubine."
This cake was a bit big, so Jiang Jiu just listened to it.
"This treasure belongs to my grandmother. Even if the deceased prince saw it, he would die. Princess, are you sure you want to see it?"
Hearing Jiang Jiu's words, Princess Qi Yang's heart skipped a beat. She raised her chin arrogantly, walked out of the hot spring, and put on a cloak.
"Everything under heaven and earth belongs to the emperor. If you do not present treasures to the emperor but take them for yourself, it is considered deceiving the emperor."
"Besides, the deceased prince committed suicide. How could it be related to your baby?"
Jiang Jiu continued to ask, "How did the princess know this thing? Logically, my grandfather has never shown it to outsiders."
Princess Qiyang glanced at Jiang Jiu with contempt: "Why do you care about the royal family's affairs?"
Jiang Jiu smiled: "You think you are justified in taking something by force? Do you really think that you will use this thing even if you take it away?"
As he spoke, Jiang Jiu took the pistol out of the box and pointed it at Princess Qi Yang.
Princess Qi Yang had never seen this thing before, but she instinctively took a step back.
"If this thing really exists, can it really kill people a hundred miles away?"
Jiang Jiu smiled slightly: "Princess, you can try it."
Princess Qi Yang looked at the dark gun hole and felt a little scared, but she had never seen the power of this thing.
At this moment, her secret guard suddenly ran out from the shadows and shot the long sword directly at Jiang Jiu.
Jiang Jiu calmly pulled the trigger at the person who came.
There was a 'bang' sound, just like the sound of a cannon. Strangely, the secret guard fell to the ground instantly, bleeding profusely, and died.
Princess Qi Yang was also frightened at this time, and her legs became weak.
"I said, yes, there is a picture in my mother's room, and it shows you like this. It seems that my mother got it from the prince's room. She said that if we can find this thing and copy many of them, we will be invincible."
The third prince really had a trick up his sleeve. He actually saw Jiang Yao using a pistol and drew a picture of her.
Even though Jiang Yao repeatedly told him that this thing was difficult to develop, the Third Prince still couldn't forget it.
Until later, he was unwilling to give up and came to Suzhou again, trying to buy the gun with a large sum of money.
After being rejected by Jiang Yao, he actually set his sights on Jiang Qiuyue.
Jiang Jiu believed that if the Third Prince had not gone too far, Jiang Yao would not have killed him.
Although Jiang Yao burned all the information about the gun researched by the Third Prince, unexpectedly some of it slipped through the net and was seen by the eldest princess.
So, as soon as Jiang Jiu appeared, the princess sent Princess Qi Yang to look for the pistol.
Princess Qi Yang had never seen this thing before and didn't know its power. She had only seen it in paintings, so she recognized it at a glance.
Jiang Jiu smiled coldly: "At the beginning, my grandmother didn't want this thing to flow into the world, so she killed the prince. Now that you also know it, you can't keep it..."
*******
When Lu Yunyang learned that Princess Qi Yang was looking for her, he didn't want to come at all, but the guard tempted him with treasures. Lu Yunyang also wanted to know what Princess Qi Yang was looking for.
That's why I followed the guard Shanshan here late.
Who would have thought that as soon as he arrived in the yard, he saw Princess Qi Yang lying on the ground covered in blood. When he felt her nose, he found that she was dead.
"What happened? Who killed her?"
Lu Yunyang turned around and asked Qi Yang's guard again, but found that the guard was also missing.
"Someone, someone, come..."
At this moment, Jiang Jiu hurried over. When she saw Princess Qi Yang's body, she screamed and covered her mouth.
"Lu Yunyang, even if you hate Princess Qi Yang, you shouldn't kill her."
There was a big look of injustice written all over Lu Yunyang's face.
"It wasn't me. She died when I arrived..."
Jiang Jiu refused to listen to his explanation: "Prince, I know you have a grudge against Princess Qiyang. Although she is rude and willful, she has never done anything to harm you. Now that you have killed her, the Princess and the Emperor will not let it go."
Lu Yunyang looked at Jiang Jiu in disbelief, and after a long while he finally said, "You don't believe me?"
Jiang Jiu pursed his lips and thought carefully: "I believe you, you really have no reason to kill her? But now she died in Sucheng, how are you going to explain to the emperor and the princess?"
However, looking at Jiang Jiu's expression, it was clear that he didn't trust Lu Yunyang at all, which made him feel very aggrieved and wronged.
He wanted to explain something, but found that no matter how he explained, it seemed to be in vain because no one believed him.
There aren't many people in this villa, and apart from him, it seems that no one else dares to kill the princess.
"Take it back, freeze it in ice, and send it back to the capital."
No matter what, he had to let the princess, the emperor and others see the body before he caught the murderer and handed him over. At least he would not be blamed so harshly.
At this time, Lu Yunyang still cared about the relationship between the emperor and the eldest princess.
"Okay." Jiang Jiu sighed heavily, walked to the body of Princess Qi Yang, squatted down, opened the wound and looked at it again and again, and said "Huh".
"What kind of weapon caused this kind of wound? Who among us knows how to use a hidden weapon so powerful that it can penetrate a human body?"
Lu Yunyang still wanted to find the murderer, so he walked over, squatted down, took a look himself, and was also surprised.
When a person is killed, there will be traces left on the body.
What weapons did you use, knives, swords, poison, or hidden weapons?
He carefully examined Princess Qi Yang's wounds, but none of them seemed like that, and he was puzzled.
"Yeah, how did she die?"
Jiang Jiu rolled his eyes and said, "This kind of hole looks like a hidden weapon. Only an expert can put a hidden weapon into the body and get it out. If it's not you, could it be Ye Guzhou?"
Lu Yunyang shook his head, because his people were responsible for monitoring Ye Guzhou, and Ye Guzhou had been following Jiang Jiu. Moreover, Ye Guzhou had been with Jiang Jiu just now, and they were both in the room and did not come out.
He was also called out by Princess Qi Yang and came to this courtyard, a step later than him.
"Let's check again."
"Lu Ming, go find a good coffin and send the princess' body back. We are also about to set off for the capital."
Jiang Jiu exclaimed in surprise: "Oh, you are going to Beijing too? Didn't you say you would wait until the beginning of next spring?"
Lu Yunyang was speechless. This was originally his plan, but man proposes, God disposes. Princess Qi Yang was killed, and he had to go to the capital to give an explanation to the eldest princess.
Turning around and going back, he did not see the triumphant smile on Jiang Jiu's lips.
"Lu Ming, you have been sending people to follow Ye Guzhou. How did Princess Qiyang die?"
Back in the room, Lu Yunyang thought more and more that something was not right. There was no one else in the entire villa.
The guards around Princess Qi Yang are all top-notch martial artists, and ordinary people cannot get close to Princess Qi Yang at all.
Lu Ming also felt puzzled and his mind was in a mess.
"Master, if you bring the princess's body back to the capital, I'm afraid you'll never be able to come back."
Yes, this trip to Beijing was a life-threatening one.
