Drunk House Chapter 190

Chapter 190 Thorough Investigation (Second Update)

Jingzhao Yin's government office received a report that Princess Qingping had been assassinated with a sniper arrow in the street. The government official's face turned pale. The black gauze hat on his head was afraid that the black gauze hat on his head would not be safe.

Princess Qingping's carriage traveled faster than Jing Zhaoyin's, and soon entered the palace.

After meeting the emperor, Qingping wiped his eyes with a handkerchief and started crying, "Brother Emperor, someone murdered me and shot me coldly."

The emperor was listening to the grades of the Grand Scholars, when he heard this, he raised his brows, "What's going on?"

Princess Qingping cried and told about the situation at that time, and then pulled Fengling to confirm it, "If it weren't for Fengling's martial arts skills, I am afraid that you will never see me, Royal Brother, again today."

The emperor was also angry when he heard the words, "It's unreasonable, who dares to snipe at you? It's daytime."

"That's right, it's daytime. If it wasn't daytime, I wouldn't be scared to death." Princess Qingping was annoyed, "When did the law and order in Beijing become so negligent? Will I dare to go to the streets in the future?"

The emperor immediately said: "Come here, go and recruit Jing Zhaoyin Fu Yin into the palace."

Eunuch Yu should be, so he went immediately.

The emperor asked: "Where is that cold arrow?"

"It's at the gate of the palace. Without your permission, Brother Huang, I can't bring it in for you to see." Qingping cried.

The emperor nodded and ordered people to fetch the arrow.

Jing Zhaoyin Mansion Yin Li Shu ran into the palace profusely, and when he saw the emperor, he knelt down and pleaded guilty, "Your Majesty, it's the minister who is not strict in governance. I implore you. Give me time. I will definitely find out the traitor who murdered the princess, bring him to justice, and pay off the crime."

This Jing Zhaoyin is the emperor's cronies, and the emperor can rest assured that the law and order in Beijing is entrusted to his cronies. He hasn't had any troubles in the past few years, but today this incident did happen again, so the emperor's face was not good, "I will give you three days, if you can't find the traitor, you take off your official robe and go home."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to Qingping, "Princess, please tell me about the situation at that time."

Qingping refused to cooperate, "What did you ask the princess to say? The princess was scared to death at that time."

Li Shu was in a dilemma, "This...the investigation has to restore the situation at that time..."

"Caomin." Feng Ling has been kneeling on the ground since meeting the emperor, speaking clearly what happened at that time, "The princess, princess, and my sister are getting into the carriage, and that sharp arrow is shot from a very high roof opposite Qianjinfang.

At this time, a guard from Ouchi took the arrow and handed it to the emperor.

After looking at it, the emperor's face darkened.

Feng Ling continued: "This is the arrow. This arrow is very powerful, fast and sharp. If it wasn't for the people who were waiting by the carriage and shot quickly, they didn't get hurt by it. Otherwise, if they were shot by this arrow, they would either die or be injured."

Qingping nodded, with red eyes and a frightened expression echoing, "Yes, the group of idiot guards in my Princess Mansion didn't react until Feng Ling knocked down the sniper arrow. If I relied on them, I would have died long ago."

"You are not allowed to open your mouth and say that you are not dead." The emperor gave Qingping a look, "You go back, and leave this matter to Jing Zhaoyin to investigate."

Qing Ping quit, "Brother Emperor, is Jing Zhaoyin's family here to investigate? Master Li just brought a concubine through the house recently. Is the gentle village too addicted? Even the government affairs are neglected?"

Li Shu's face turned pale with fright, and he begged for mercy, "Princess, I will definitely give the princess an explanation, and please rest assured, the servant will find out the culprits even if I don't eat or drink."

Qingping snorted and only looked at the emperor.

Emperor said: "In this way, Jing Zhaoyin will be in charge of investigating the case, and Dali Temple will cooperate with the thorough investigation. Li Shu is limited to find out the culprit within three days, otherwise he will be dismissed from office."

Qingping was satisfied, "Okay, let's do it like this!"

She said, "Brother Huang, sister-in-law is resigning." Then she signaled Feng Ling to follow her.

Li Shu hurriedly said: "Princess stay here."

Qingping stared at him, "Aren't you going to investigate the case quickly? What's the matter?"

Li Shu felt bitter, "The lower official also asked the princess to lend the young master Feng Ling to the lower official, because he shot down the cold arrow, and he was the first to catch up to the roof. At least he saw a shadow of the thief and the direction of departure. Therefore, the lower official thought that he would follow the lower official to investigate the case these days, so as to identify the thief."

Qingping heard the words and looked at Fengling, "Fengling, what's your opinion?"

Feng Ling immediately agreed, "Yes."

Qingping nodded, "Okay, I will leave it to you, you must not treat Feng Ling badly, he is a distinguished guest of my princess mansion."

Li Shu repeatedly said yes.

The emperor's eyes fell on Feng Ling, knowing that Li Shu was in a hurry to take Feng Ling to investigate the case, so he didn't ask any more questions, but waved his hands, and made several people back off.

Qingping returned to the mansion, and immediately went to Zangjiao Pavilion to see Duanhua.

The imperial physician hadn't left yet. After giving Duanhua's pulse, he prescribed a prescription to calm the nerves. Duanhua asked the imperial physician to take the pulse of Su Rong.

The imperial physician quickly sounded Qingping's pulse again, nodded, "Well, the princess is also a little terrified, and she should take two medicines to suppress her shock."

Qingping covered his heart, "This thief is too damned, when he finds him, I will skin him."

The imperial physician prescribed a prescription, and after leaving, the son-in-law got the news and hurried back to the mansion. After asking about the situation, the son-in-law didn't say anything, but only touched Duanhua's head, "You look so bad, after drinking the medicine, go to rest quickly."

Duanhua said "hmm", and said to the son-in-law: "Father, are you the one sent by the First Prince's Mansion to kill Su Rong? The sniper Su Rong said, it was aimed at her, and she didn't offend anyone else when she came to Beijing, only offended that woman Ning Yao. The eldest cousin asked people to impeach Su Rong's father and failed, so they sent sniper revenge, right?"

The son-in-law immediately sternly said, "If there is no evidence, don't talk nonsense. Your mother also said that your majesty has handed over the matter to Jing Zhaoyin and Dali Temple for investigation, and they will know when they find out the results."

Duan Hua pouted, "Got it."

The soup was boiled in the kitchen. After drinking the soup, Duanhua felt sleepy and went back to the house to rest.

Qing Ping and the son-in-law did not leave, but sent the servants away, and asked Su Rong: "Who do you think is going to kill you?"

Su Rong naturally knew that it could not be the First Prince. Even if the First Prince used the Su family to deal with the Crown Prince, it would not be in broad daylight. When she was still with Princess Qingping, he shot cold arrows at her and killed her. It was of no benefit to the First Prince. It would be better to shoot Su Xingze directly.

So, naturally, instead of talking about the First Prince, she shook her head.

The son-in-law hesitated for a while, and asked her, "What is your relationship with Princess Zhenmin?"

Su Rong remained calm, "Princess Zhenmin?"

"The late Princess Zhenmin. During the former emperor, the only daughter of Prince Mingrui went to Da Wei to get married and died in Da Wei." The son-in-law looked at Su Rong, saw that her expression did not change, sighed, and said directly: "After you lived in the princess mansion, the princess and I watched your face. It was somewhat similar to the late Princess Zhenmin. However, some doubts have been found. Xie Yuan came to Jiangning after your mother was brought into the prefect's mansion, and stayed there. After your mother passed away, he has been your husband and taught you to grow up. Not long ago, Madam Zhao, who served the queen mother, was said to have sold herself to you, and now she is in the governor's mansion of Jiangzhou. Both of them have ties to Princess Zhenmin, especially Xie Yuan."

Su Rongxiao, "What does the son-in-law mean? Based on these two guesses, you think the late Princess Zhenmin has something to do with me? Then what do you think she has to do with me?"

The son-in-law shook his head, "If I find out, I won't ask you."

Qingping said aside: "You are fifteen this year, and Zhenmin married Da Wei sixteen years ago. Before she left, she lived in Nanchu for three months, so..."

She paused, "Of course, based on your appearance alone, we can't judge the relationship between you and Zhen Min. There are so many similar people in the world, and besides the similarity in appearance, you can't see anything similar to Zhen Min."

The son-in-law took over the conversation and said: "But there is one thing. During the investigation of your life experience, I discovered that there are forces from the Southern Chu that have infiltrated into Jiangning County many times. Although the traces have been deliberately erased, as long as you have the heart to investigate, there are still traces to follow. This is the fundamental reason why I want to ask you today."

Su Rong was silent for a moment, then smiled, "Since the princess and the son-in-law have said so, there is no need for me to hide it. I heard from Madam Zhao that you had a good relationship with my mother back then, princess. Hold on, there is only this face, but I really can't hide it, and I have to show my true colors to others."

Qingping was stunned, "Then you...your mother...you..."

The son-in-law held Qingping's hand, lowered his voice and asked: "You mean, your mother is... Princess Zhenmin?"

Su Rong nodded, "Yes, my mother is Yan Ruzhen, Princess Zhenmin, and my biological father is Chu Rong, King of Southern Chu."
