Chapter 113: Collect some interest first



Prince Jing's Mansion

After finding out the real culprit of the locked room murder case, Long Moxun's joy only lasted for a few moments. He was not in a hurry to sort out the case and report it to the court, because he still had one more thing to do.

It was late at night, the moon was dim and the stars were sparse. The light in Long Moxun's room seemed tireless and had no intention of being turned off. His bony fingers tapped lightly on the desk.

A gust of wind blew in, and Long Moxun changed his relaxed state at that time. He straightened his body and looked serious. There was a person in front of him.

"How is the investigation going?"

"Your Highness, the identity of the murderer who died in Hongshan Temple has been verified."

The secret guard stood in front of Long Moxun and reported to him everything he had found out.

"The deceased, the murderer, was named Zhao Wushan. He lived in Hongshui Village near Hongshan Temple. He was originally a constable in the Ministry of Justice. Fifteen years ago, he was detained for suspected murder of an official of the time. He escaped before the execution and changed his name to Monk Daosheng, living in seclusion in Hongshan Temple."

Long Moxun raised his eyebrows. He was quite surprised by the news.

"An official from the Ministry of Justice? Why did he kill people?"

"The Ministry of Justice has records that the official was beaten to death, but when my subordinates investigated, they found that there was a hidden story."

"Fifteen years ago, an official named He took a fancy to Zhao Wushan's sister and forced her to be his concubine. Later, her sister died tragically. Zhao Wushan then found the official and avenged his sister."

"However, these are not recorded in the criminal files of the Ministry of Justice. The files deliberately emphasize Zhao Wushan's crimes. In my opinion, the Ministry of Justice was biased when handling this case."

Long Moxun snorted coldly, and a trace of contempt appeared on his stern face: "Officials protect each other, how can there be no partiality?"

His face suddenly turned cold. He hated this kind of atmosphere, but he was powerless to do anything about it. Because even if he punished one group of officials, there would be another group of officials who would protect them.

The secret guard was smart and didn't say anything. He just lowered his head and continued to wait for Long Moxun to ask questions.

"Check whether that official has any connection with the He who was murdered a month ago?"

"You suspect that the official surnamed He is a relative of the deceased He a month ago? Then, is the exile of the official surnamed He and his family also related to the murderer of this closed room murder case?"

Dark Guard was so excited that he forgot what kind of important person the person in front of him was.

Long Moxun glanced at him but did not rebuke the secret guard for being nosy. After all, compared to Secret Guard Jing, the other secret guards in his family looked quite normal.

"That's why I asked you to check."

"yes!"

An Weiwu blushed slightly, thinking that he had just spoken too much, but the prince did not punish him. The prince was really kinder and more tolerant now than before.

"Well, also, check out the incident of the attack on Hongshan Temple that year."

"yes!"

Long Moxun glanced out the window and saw that it was getting dark. Although he did not go to Hongshan Temple in person today, he knew some of the conditions of the temple.

The mysterious man who suddenly appeared seemed to want to use the murderer of the locked room murder case to tell them that the attack on Hongshan Temple that year was not as simple as they imagined.

Long Moxun doesn't mind investigating and getting to the bottom of this matter, as long as it is still valuable.

Dark Guard Wu left, and Dark Guard Jing came in next. When Long Moxun thought of Dark Guard Jing, he suddenly felt a headache.

How come such a strange flower appeared in his dark guard army? He seriously affected the survival of other dark guards in the dark guard camp, so Long Moxun kicked him out directly and gave him to Luo Xuening.

It is called supervision, but it is actually protection.

"Your Highness, Miss Luo has already returned to her room. Secretary Gu sent her back."

Long Moxun's eyes twitched. He didn't care at all about who sent Luo Xuening back to the house. So what did the secret guard mean by coming to report to him?

"Go back and clean all the toilets in Prince Jing's mansion for seven days."

"What?" An Weijing was confused. Did he say something wrong?

Seeing An Weijing's innocent look, Long Moxun patiently told him about his wrongdoings, so that the servants would not accuse him of taking revenge on his personal behalf. In fact, Lord Prince Jing was taking revenge on his personal behalf.

"Don't report unimportant matters anymore. This is a lesson."

An Weijing remembered that from now on, it didn't matter who Miss Luo was with, and he didn't need to report it to the prince.

"Yes, sir, I understand."

Long Moxun waved his hands impatiently. He was upset whenever he saw An Weijing. Of course, he was not really angry until one day when An Weijing watched Luo Xuening becoming more and more popular among the crowd but never reported it to him.

An Weijing left and went to sweep the toilet as Long Moxun instructed. However, Long Moxun felt empty in his heart and always felt like he couldn't breathe.

It was getting late, but Lord Prince Jing was suffering from insomnia for the first time in his life.

At dawn, Luo Xue Ning was taken to the Buddhist temple, and Prime Minister Luo even sent two maids to guard her.

Luo Xue Ning couldn't help but sigh twice. "My Lord Prime Minister, you have made sufficient preparations. You thought that if you sent two maids, I wouldn't be able to run away, right? Then my Lord Prime Minister, you really underestimated me."

However, even if Luo Xuening could run away, she would not be so stupid as to disobey Prime Minister Luo at this time, so she had to kneel on the other side of the lady and worship Buddha with all her heart.

However, Luo Xue Ning was immersed in her thoughts. The eldest lady could no longer be immersed in her thoughts when she looked at the man who had caused her to fall into destitution and end up in the Buddhist temple.

His cold eyes would pass over Luo Xuening from time to time, and occasionally linger for a moment.

This look was too gloomy and cruel. Luo Xuening could hardly ignore it. She smiled and looked at the eldest lady.

"People say that devoting oneself to the Buddha can remove evil spirits, but this is not appropriate for the eldest lady."

Luo Xuening glanced at the Madam's sullen face, and continued without fear, "The Madam has been in this temple for a month, right? Look at you, why do you still look murderous? People like you should not pollute the temple. So, do you want me to talk to Dad and ask him to release the Madam as soon as possible, or she will get sick from holding it in."

Luo Xuening smiled, but her words were like a knife, cutting the lady's heart.

"Luo Xue Ning, who do you think you are? How dare you provoke me?"

Luo Xuening was right. The eldest lady's stay in the Buddhist hall did not allow her to see clearly. Her current situation only made her more aggressive.

Seeing her opponent become so crazy, Luo Xuening continued to laugh unkindly.

"Why shouldn't I? Madam has probably stayed in the temple for too long. Now the backyard is no longer your world."

This was another pain in her heart. Madam Gu looked at Luo Xuening with fierce eyes, wishing she could kill her.

"Madam, please don't glare at me. Daddy asked you to come here to cultivate your character."

Luo Xue Ning's words were so light-hearted that the eldest lady almost vomited blood.

Luo Xuening was not afraid anyway. She was now locked up in the Buddhist temple and could not do anything. Of course, she had to ask the eldest lady to collect the interest. There was still a tough battle to fight between them.

The eldest lady stood where she was, feeling dizzy because of Luo Xuening's anger. Fortunately, her noble status as the Prime Minister's wife still gave her some confidence. She was Luo Xuening's mother, and it was really blind of Luo Xuening to dare to disrespect her.

"Luo Xue Ning, do you know that I am your mother? How can you be so rude to your mother?"

"I remember that my mother was an aunt, and she lowered her status to that of the eldest lady. Although you have done many evil things, you don't have to degrade yourself in front of me."

"you……"

The eldest lady was so angry that she was about to go crazy. How could there be such a disgusting person? For every word she said, Luo Xuening could say ten words that would suffocate her to death.

It’s infuriating. So infuriating.

"Luo Xue Ning, shut up."

"Madam, you are so vicious. No wonder daddy doesn't like you."

Luo Xuening really shut her mouth, but she looked at the Madam with innocent eyes, as if she was watching a joke. The Madam wanted to hit her.

Thinking of this, she did just that. The eldest lady picked up a Buddhist dust and waved it towards Luo Xuening.

Luo Xue Ning dodged lightly, and when she came back, she didn't forget to sneer: "Madam, you are fanning me."

The eldest lady was holding a Buddhist dustpan in her hand, and she couldn't get close to Luo Xuening's spirit at all. Wasn't she just fanning herself?

"I'll beat you to death, you little bastard."

"That depends on whether you have the ability."

Luo Xue Ning looked at the eldest lady. After she waved the Buddha dust twice, her face turned red and she was breathing heavily. She looked like a pug.

Luo Xuening raised her eyebrows and smiled, she was not wrong in her guess, the eldest lady was suffering from internal heat, the miracle doctor once said that patients with internal heat would be restless inside, at this moment, if she was given something hot, she would go crazy with pain.

As Luo Xuening thought about it, a brilliant idea came to her mind.

Now, she was not strong enough, so she could only irritate the Madam in private. She really wanted her to pay for her life. Luo Xuening was not strong enough, so if she had nothing to do, she could just add some medicine to the Madam. It could only be regarded as collecting interest in advance.

Luo Xue Ningsi didn't think there was anything wrong with her provoking the eldest lady. On the contrary, seeing the eldest lady circling around her but unable to do anything to her, Luo Xue Ning felt relieved. Suddenly, her eyes drifted to the person who came outside the door.

Luo Xue Ning said softly to the Madam, "Madam, you are going crazy again. You look like a dog now. Don't let Dad see you like this, or he will hate you."

The eldest lady blew a Buddhist dust puff at her, Luo Xuening dodged it, and then the door was opened. Looking at the person standing outside the door, the eldest lady turned pale with fright.

"Master, that's not the case." The first lady was eager to explain, but explaining at this time would just prove her guilty conscience.

Prime Minister Luo's face was as cold as frost, but the person behind him was smiling calmly.

"Come here, take my wife away. If she can't continue copying the Buddhist scriptures, let her copy the family tree."

When Prime Minister Luo gave the order, Luo Xue Ning almost burst out laughing. Copying the family tree, Prime Minister Luo, you have a very unique way of thinking.
