Chapter 2238 Unreasonable
Zhu Feng hurriedly asked, "Where is it?"
“…”
Ye Zheng was silent for a moment before he said in a heavy tone, "The body was found not far from the west city gate."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng's brows suddenly furrowed.
Nan Yan was also stunned and opened her eyes wide in shock.
Corpse?
Wu Yingqiu, is actually dead?!
Zhu Feng let out a deep breath and immediately asked, "How did he die? How long has he been dead?"
Ye Zheng said, "Preliminary observation suggests that the only sword wound on his body was at his throat, a fatal blow. Furthermore, his expression was very calm, suggesting he hadn't expected the opponent to kill him. It's also clear that the opponent was a master."
Although Duke Chengguo is old, he is a military general who once fought on the battlefield.
Moreover, he was taken away in that situation. He must have been very alert. He was stabbed in the throat with a sword without any resistance.
Zhu Feng clenched his fists.
He asked solemnly, "Did the murderer leave any other clues?"
Ye Zheng said, "I have searched the area, but have not found it yet."
“…”
"I have already left some personnel there to continue the search. Wu Yingqiu's body has been sent to the coroner's morgue. I will now report this to the Emperor."
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment.
He looked outside and saw that it was already late, so he turned to Nan Yan and said, "You should get some rest first."
"emperor……"
"I'll go take a look over there."
"yes."
Nan Yan stood up and saluted him. Zhu Feng had already walked out with Ye Zheng.
Ran Xiaoyu was guarding the door. When she saw Ye Zheng, she wanted to say something and ask about his injury, but it was too late.
She just watched the two of them leave and walked back to her bedroom.
He asked softly, "My Lady, are you okay?"
“…”
Nan Yan glanced at her and said solemnly, "Something big has happened."
"ah?"
"However, these are matters of the previous dynasty. I am content to just listen to them. It is not my turn to think about them."
“…”
"Send a message to the King of Wei at Jiyan Palace, saying that I will invite the Xu family into the palace tomorrow. We will meet in his Chengqian Palace. Ask him to prepare as well."
"yes."
On the other side, Ye Zheng followed Zhu Feng out of the bedroom.
As he walked, he whispered, "Your Majesty, although Wu Yingqiu is dead, there is still one thing that I find puzzling."
"Oh? What's going on?"
"That day at the Great Altar, that man rescued Wu Yingqiu from the hands of this humble minister."
Speaking of that night and the mysterious man who suddenly appeared, Ye Zheng's eyes suddenly became gloomy. His expression, which was originally bright and clear like a young man, now looked a bit gloomy.
When Zhu Feng heard him talk about what happened that night, his expression became gloomy.
Said: "Yeah."
"That person first shot me with an arrow, then took advantage of me being injured and lying on the ground to rescue Wu Yingqiu."
"Um."
"Judging from the fact that this man killed Wu Yingqiu with a single blow to the throat, he must have been prepared to silence him."
"good."
"Since his goal was to silence Wu Yingqiu, why didn't he just shoot Wu Yingqiu to death with his arrow that night? Instead, he shot and injured me, risked showing up, and fought with so many people before taking Wu Yingqiu away and killing him to silence him."
“…”
"This, I find somewhat unreasonable."
Hearing him say this, Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.
