Chapter 412 The real murderer

Wei Shutong was in a terrifying state and said in a dismay: "Prince, what did you... say?"

Li Hongxin smiled faintly and said, "Don't you understand my words by Lord Wei?" He said in a deep voice: "Come on, bring it up!"

Soon, two guards came upstairs with a pair of stretchers and placed them carefully on the ground.

Wei Shutong took a look and saw that the stretcher was covered with white linen, his pupils were shrinking, and Qi Ning glanced sideways and didn't speak.

Li Hongxin slowly stood up, his figure was trembling. He walked slowly over, squatted down, stretched out his hand, and gently lifted the white linen. Wei Shutong took a step forward and could see clearly that on this stretcher was Li Yuan, the prince of Shu.

Li Yuan's face was already cold and stiff, without a trace of blood, and without a trace of sound. He could tell at a glance that he was a dead person.

"Ah...!" Although Wei Shutong had guessed two points, he was still surprised to see Li Yuan's body.

Li Hongxin stretched out one hand, trembled, gently stroked Li Yuan's face, and murmured: "This is my son, the only remaining son. I also watched his eldest son leave me like this, but I was helpless. But I was not old at that time and had no white hair on my head, but today, my head had already grown white hair on my head. It was really a white hair sent to the black hair...!" At this point, I made another strange laugh, and the laughter was extremely sad, making people feel creepy.

Wei Shutong frowned and said, "Prince, what's going on?"

Li Hongxin raised his head and asked without answering, "Mr. Wei, if your son was harmed, I wonder what you should do?"

His example is obviously a big mistake.

Wei Shutong frowned slightly, but said, "Of course we must find the real culprit in advance!"

"What if the murderer is found?" Li Hongxin's eyes were cold and his tone was cold.

Wei Shu said: "If the real murderer is found, you will naturally have to interrogate carefully and then deal with it according to national laws."

"Well said." Li Hongxin smiled strangely, stood up slowly, and said, "What if the murderer was not an ordinary person, but an important official of the court?"

"A important minister of the court?" Wei Shutong frowned and said, "Prince, I am frank. If there is evidence in hand, even if it is an important minister of the court, you will be punished. If the local government cannot be tried, then go to the emperor and the emperor will issue an order to interrogate."

Li Hongxin nodded and said, "Mr. Wei said very well." He glanced at Qi Ning and said, "Today, I invite the governor and the marquis to come here to figure out this matter." After pausing, he said coldly: "The murderer who assassinated Li Yuan has been found, and he is here now."

As soon as this said, Wei Shutong looked slightly shocked, and Qi Ning also frowned and said, "Prince, do you say the murderer is here?"

Li Hongxin sneered: "Not bad."

"The prince said that the murderer was an important minister of the court. Now that we can meet this standard, only the three of us." Qi Ning said slowly: "Of course, it is impossible for the murderer to be the murderer. Then the murderer can only be one of this lord and Lord Wei. I wonder if I understand something wrong?"

Li Hongxin smiled and said, "The Marquis understands it right." Although he smiled on his face, the chill in his eyes was like the most thousand-year-old ice.

Wei Shutong's face darkened and said, "Prince, this is no joke."

Li Hongxin said lightly: "Master Wei thinks I am joking?" He slowly carried his hands on his back, looked at Qi Ning, and asked: "Marty, you are the imperial envoy of the court. If I tell the real murderer, can you be fair and impartial?"

Qi Ning looked solemn and said, "Prince, I can do it without bias, but I am afraid that I have the heart but not enough strength. I am not a member of the Ministry of Justice and I am not good at this kind of thing."

"Then please give me a witness." Li Hongxin said, turning his head to look at Wei Shutong, looking like a knife, and asking, "Mr. Wei, you have been in Xichuan for many years. I have always cooperated with you in governing Xichuan. Although there are some things you have a little difference with me, I have always been the overall situation. I want to ask, are there any things I can't help you?"

Li Hongxin suddenly asked this, Wei Shutong was surprised and frowned and said, "What does the prince mean?"

"Although Li Yuan is naughty, he is not a traitor." Li Hongxin's tone became sarcastic: "Mr. Wei, I want to ask you, where did he offend you? Do you want to kill him? Or where did this king do it properly? Do you want me to make my son and grandson?"

Wei Shutong was stunned for a moment, opened her eyes wide, and said in horror: "Prince, you... do you mean...I killed Li Yuan?"

Li Hongxin sneered: "Of course Mr. Wei will not admit it." He said in a deep voice: "Bring someone up!"

Wei Shutong looked surprised, and soon saw two guards escorting one upstairs. Wei Shutong saw that the person who came was a woman in her early thirties. Although she was not very tall, she was also 70% beautiful, with a gentle body and a feminine appearance. However, the pretty face was full of panic and terror.

"Prince, is this..."

Li Hongxin glanced at the woman and said lightly: "You have to say everything you know in the original form. If you have this king here, there is no need to be a taboo."

The woman bowed tremblingly and said, "The little woman is Wu Sun, and her husband is Bo Wu Da, the head of the Ministry of Revenue."

"Oh?" Wei Shutong frowned and asked, "Do you know how the prince was killed?"

Mrs. Wu lowered her head and whispered: "Bitch...Bitch knows..." She looked up at Li Hongxin, but didn't dare to continue talking.

However, Qi Ning suddenly asked, "Prince, this is Wu Da's wife. How can she know that the prince was killed? Where did the prince be killed?"

Li Hongxin said with a cold face: "To be honest, Li Yuan was killed in the Wu family last night."

"Wu family?" Qi Ningqi said: "Wu Da is just a small minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He has a low status. What is the identity of the prince? Why did he appear in the Wu family last night? Could it be that the prince sent the prince to?"

Li Hongxin snorted coldly, looked at Mrs. Wu, and said, "Just tell the truth."

Mrs. Wu lowered her head, her plump and delicate body trembled slightly, and she did not dare to speak.

Li Hongxin raised his hand and said, "You all retreat." After several guards retreated, Li Hongxin said in a deep voice: "No one else is present, so why don't you say it quickly."

Mrs. Wu had no choice but to lower her head and said, "The prince... The prince went to the bitch's house last night and said... she saw the bitch on the street during the day and liked it in her heart, so...!" After all, she was a woman. She felt extremely embarrassed when she said such a shameful thing in front of a few big men.

Qi Ning sighed and said, "No need to say anything." He asked, "Did you see the assassin assassin killing the prince?"

Mrs. Wu hesitated for a moment and finally said, "The prince... the prince is strong, the bitch... When the bitch struggles, the prince gets angry and pushes the bitch. The bitch hits the table...!" At this point, he raised his hand and lifted up the hair on his cheek. Sure enough, there was a point on the side of his head. He continued in a trembling voice: "The bitch fell to the ground, dizzy and unable to get up, so he thought...!" He hesitated and did not dare to continue.

Li Hongxin said in a deep voice: "Don't hesitate, speak quickly."

Mrs. Wu did not dare to disobey, so she could only say, "The bitch wanted to pretend to be sleeping, and she only hoped... she only hoped that the prince would spare the bitch. At that time, the bitch heard the prince scream. The bitch didn't know what was going on, and she didn't dare to open her eyes, so... so she heard a voice asking the prince not to scream."

Qi Ning nodded slightly and asked, "How did you go?"

"I heard the prince ask who the sacred man was and what he wanted to do. That person... that person said...!" Mrs. Wu looked at Li Hongxin tremblely and said, "The man said that the prince was too bullying and wanted to kill the prince, so that the prince could taste the taste of having his son and grandson...!"

When Mrs. Wu said this, Li Hongxin slapped the corner of the table with a sudden palm, and then heard a "click" sound, and the corner of the table shattered.

Mrs. Wu was shocked, and Qi Ning shook her head and said, "You don't have to be afraid. What will happen later? You continue to talk about it."

"Later...the prince later said that he could give that person countless gold, as long as...the man showed mercy...!" Mrs. Wu's voice trembled and her delicate body shivered, "But that person said that he was entrusted by someone to help...he helped the governor get rid of the thorns in his eyes...!"

Wei Shutong was in a terrifying state and said sternly: "Bold, you bastard, you dare to talk nonsense here."

"Mr. Wei, the pure one will be clear, you don't have to be upset." Qi Ning said in a deep voice: "A little woman, I will never dare to talk nonsense here."

Li Hongxin sneered and said, "Yes, if she dares to say nonsense here, I will take her life immediately. Lord Wei, if it is wronged, you don't have to be so anxious."

Wei Shutong looked ugly and said, "If you continue talking, what else does that person say?"

"The prince asked the man if it was... Was Wei Shutong sent here?" Mrs. Wu lowered her head, "The man said... it was useless to say that the prince knew about it, and she also asked the prince to remember that the person who killed him was... a stinger. The bitch closed his eyes and never heard the sound afterwards. After a while, the bitch opened his eyes, he found that the prince had been... killed...!" At this point, Mrs. Wu was almost exhausted.

Wei Shutong said with a dark face, "Prince, someone must be blamed on me."

Li Hongxin waved his hand and signaled Mrs. Wu to retreat first. Mrs. Wu's legs were weak and she held the stairs down. After Mrs. Wu left, Li Hongxin was already sitting on the chair with a gloomy face and said, "Mr. Wei, Chengdu has assassins, this is not false, but the one who stabs the throat is the name of the assassin. Except for this, no one has heard anyone mention these three words."

Wei Shutong frowned and said, "What does the prince mean?"

"The Marquis came to Chengdu and welcomed the Marquis with a simple meal that night. At that time, the three of us were the three of us." Li Hongxin said slowly: "I used the title of stinger at the dinner table, but no one heard it. Why did the assassin call himself stinger? Is there such a coincidence in the world?"

Wei Shutong looked cold: "The prince thought the assassin was sent by me, so he deliberately used the name "Sharp Throat Guy?"

"Isn't it?" Li Hongxin said.

Qi Ning suddenly said, "Prince, I'm afraid there are some misunderstandings in this. Not to mention that Lord Wei would never do such a thing. Even if it was really sent by Lord Wei, why should the assassin expose Lord Wei's identity in front of the prince? Wouldn't this reveal his own flaws?" He looked at Wei Shu and said, "If you really want to send an assassin, you will definitely be straightforward and will never be so dragging on it and you will have to talk more nonsense."
