It was too dark in the moat, and many people were standing on the bridge. For a moment, no one dared to go down to rescue the people. After a while, a few brave men jumped into the river to look for the people.
By the time they found the person, he was already dead.
Someone in the crowd said in surprise, "This person seems to be Princess Pingyang's husband, Prince Hang."
"Hurry, go get someone from Pingyang Prefecture to claim it."
Anguogong Mansion
A servant hurried into a courtyard and whispered a few words to the handsome man in the house.
"What?!" Chu Yu looked at the person who came in disbelief.
"The body has been transported back to Pingyang Prefecture."
Chu Yu stood up and walked towards the courtyard of the guest room.
Bei Yutang and Xiao Moer were playing chess and were surprised to hear Chu Yu coming to visit.
Chu Yu came hurriedly and said as soon as he saw the man, "Something happened."
"Has someone got there first?" Hua Ziyun asked.
"No. Something happened in Pingyang Prefecture. Wang Zihang jumped into the river and died where Li Guixiang and her son were."
Bei Yutang and the others were all stunned. They never expected that he would die like this.
"What about Pingyang Prefecture?"
Chu Yu's expression turned even uglier. "Princess Pingyang is also dead."
"What!!!"
Now they were all shocked.
This result was completely unexpected.
"Who is the murderer?" Hua Ziyun asked again.
Chu Yu shook his head. "We don't know yet. Jingzhao Yin's people have already gone to investigate. We won't know the details until later."
At this moment, a servant came hurriedly, bowed to everyone, and said, "Master, there are some people from the government office outside looking for some guests."
They looked at each other and followed the servant to the front hall.
The yamen runner bowed upon seeing the group and said, "I am under the order of the prefect to invite you to the government office. I have something to ask you."
"Can."
Before they reached the government office, they met Prince Yu's carriage on the road, which was in a hurry and heading towards Pingyang County Government.
When they arrived at the government office, the group waited for Magistrate Zhou. They waited until midnight but Magistrate Zhou still did not return. Only a bailiff came hurriedly and told them to go back.
"Where is Magistrate Zhou?"
The yamen runner sighed and said, "Prince Yu has arrived, and your Excellency is accompanying him. The entire prefecture is in turmoil, and everyone is in a state of panic."
On the way back, Xiao Moer saw that her mother looked serious.
"Mother, what did you think of?"
Bei Yutang said in a deep voice: "Maybe we are all wrong."
Hua Ziyun, Chu Yu and others were stunned and didn't understand what she meant.
"Auntie Mu, what did we do wrong?" Hua Ziyun asked.
"Wang Zihang. I wronged Wang Zihang." Bei Yutang thought of a possibility, but this possibility was too shocking, making her unsure whether it was what she thought.
"Prince Hang?"
Several people were even more confused.
Xiao Mo'er's mind raced, "Mother, do you suspect that Wang Zihang jumped into the river because of Aunt Li and the others?"
Bei Yutang nodded, "Maybe I guessed wrong."
"That's impossible." Chu Yu didn't believe it. "A man who abandoned his wife and children is now telling me that he would commit suicide for his ex-wife?"
This is something they probably hadn't thought of, it's really unbelievable.
The next day, news of the deaths of Wang Zihang and Princess Pingyang spread in the streets and alleys. According to many rumors, Princess Pingyang was strangled to death, and the person who strangled her was most likely Wang Zihang.
