Mao Da and Mao Er confessed to Xia Lishuang that they were secret agents of the Yan State. They overheard Zhang Ying and the woman in red passing military plans, stole the grain and grass marching plan and handed it over to their superiors, and then did nothing.
Xia Lishuang hanged Zhang Ying for the serious crime of leaking military aircraft, sent Mao Damao Er to Dali Temple and handed it over to Cheng Fenglou, and also reported the envoy of Yan State.
At this time, Mao Da, Mao Er and two Yan envoys died tragically in prison.
"They died two-quarters of an hour ago. Their throats were sealed with a knife. Judging from the wounds, the murder weapon should be a lancet." Cheng Fenglou explained the situation, "At that time, the jailers were stunned by the murderer, so they could not stop them in time."
Xia Lishuang was stunned for a moment when she heard Lancet, and then asked without thinking carefully, "Did you get any clues?"
Cheng Fenglou felt bad when he mentioned this matter, "Just now, the Jiang family came to sue Jing Zhaoyin, saying that the second son of the Jiang family, Jiang Yushen, was murdered, and the government's Yamen ignored him. So I delayed this."
"Hasn't Jiang Yushen been dead for some time? It hasn't been found out yet?"
"I personally conducted an autopsy and found that the person died after eating Wu Shi Powder! The Jiang family didn't believe it and insisted on filing a lawsuit!"
The more Cheng Fenglou talked, the more unreasonable he felt. He looked at Xia Lishuang meaningfully and brought the topic back.
"They are dead now. They haven't found the person behind them, and they haven't asked about the whereabouts of the grain and defense plans. What should we do?"
"The only way now is to find the murderer who killed them." Xia Lishuang arranged calmly, "We can only start the investigation from the places where the people they have seen have been, and strengthen the supervision of the roads out of the city to Yan State, we must be quick!
It only takes five days for them to send the information to the State of Yan, and by then neither you nor me, including the prince, will be able to escape responsibility!"
Cheng Fenglou nodded, turned around and went out to make arrangements.
Seeing this, Wen Ranran, who had been watching silently, pulled Xia Lishuang aside.
"Ms. sir, I may have a way to find out who killed them!"
Hearing this, Xia Lishuang was not surprised at all, and even had a look of disapproval on the floor.
"You want to use that thing?"
???
Does your husband know about the black stone?
Could it be that Mao Da Mao Er secretly recruited him?
Wen Ranran was too lazy to dwell on this and just answered with extra firmness.
"Well, this is the fastest way at the moment! Two quarters of an hour has passed, so we have to hurry up!"
According to Mao Da, generally those who are destined can only use the black stone to go back to a quarter of an hour in the past.
But if she is really the magician who is the source of black stone power, maybe she can go back to two quarters of an hour ago!
Now I can only try it first!
Xia Lishuang could not estimate the risks of this move based only on the information she overheard. "There is a price for going against the will. Do you know what the price is?"
After staring at Xia Lishuang for a long time, realizing that he only knew the surface, Wen Ranran suddenly smiled brightly.
"There is no price, but there are limitations. I can't change the past, and it's a bit dangerous to implement it..."
"How dangerous?"
"I need you to strangle me."
"What?"
Xia Lishuang was stunned.
The woman opposite her smile did not change, her eyes flashed with hesitation for a moment and then became particularly firm.
"When I am about to die, put the black stone in my mouth, and my soul will be able to leave my body. During this period, the black stone cannot be taken away. I am willing to entrust my life to my husband, and I believe that my husband can protect me."
Xia Lishuang stared into her eyes, "You are afraid, you don't believe me."
Wen Ranran lowered her eyes and clenched her hands unconsciously.
"Having experienced countless deaths, I believe that it is more reliable to hold my life in my own hands than to leave it to others. No one can protect me except myself. Especially at this critical moment..."
This is her last life!
There must be no critical moment when there is even the slightest mistake!
A smile bloomed at the corner of her mouth, and she raised her eyes.
"But, I'm willing to try!"
She believed that her husband, who was silently protecting her, would not hesitate if he risked his life to save her from a desperate situation!
The stars in the fox's eyes fell one by one into Xia Lishuang's heart. He could feel the heaviness in it, but he also felt joyful and moved like never before because of this heaviness.
