This scene was all seen by Wei Xiang. He didn't say anything, but his eyes were full of meaning.
On the first day, everything was fine.
The next day, everything was fine in the early morning, fine at noon, but in the evening...something happened!
Bang bang bang, there was a knock on the door.
Apparently, the person who knocked on the door was very impatient.
Prince Liu Yu walked out of the back room impatiently, looked at Wei Xiang in front of him, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Wei Xiang looked frightened on the surface, but his tone was calm and he said: "Your Highness, Zhong Yunfeng, a member of the Criminal Department, asked to see him. He... seems to have said that Yanzhi is dead."
coax!
As soon as these words came out, it was like a bolt from the blue falling on Liu Yu's head.
He grabbed Wei Xiang's collar and asked sternly: "What did you say?"
"How could Yanzhi die? What does Zhong Yunfeng do for food? Old Li left the matter to him, and he ended up like this?"
"Call him in!"
Looking at the furious Liu Yu, Wei Xiang couldn't help but swallow.
After so many years, this was the first time he saw the prince so angry.
At this moment, the fake panic turned into real panic, and he quickly turned around to take Zhong Yunfeng away.
"Wait a minute! By the way, find someone to call Lao Li and Lao Zhang!"
"promise!"
After Wei Xiang left, Liu Yu paced left and right in the main hall, feeling uneasy.
Lao Li actually missed it!
Since he met Lao Li, Lao Li has never failed for a whole year.
This also gave him an inexplicable confidence, and this confidence was the basis for his fight with Liu Jing.
But now, half of this confidence has been lost.
Once upon a time, Li Changkong had become the backbone of this small, unmanned group.
In the past, even if Zhang Han made a mistake and expected something wrong, they would never panic at all, because everyone knew that Li Changkong would tell the truth.
But now, if Lao Li misses, Lao Zhang may not be able to tell the truth!
A moment later, in the main hall of the East Palace.
Li Changkong, Zhang Han, Zhu Ben, Jia Taisui and the anxious Zhong Yunfeng have all arrived.
Faced with such matters, Li Changkong was the first to speak: "Zhong Yunfeng, how did Yanzhi die? What you and Lao Zhu found out, tell me everything!"
Seeing this, Zhong Yunfeng did not dare to neglect and said hurriedly: "Everything went well at first. On the first day, Brother Zhu and I found two rogues in the south of the city. One pretended to be a thief and robbed Rouge, and the other took advantage of Rouge to go out. Empty her house.”
"Under such circumstances, we expect that she will definitely go out to collect Chen Shi's money the next day."
"So that night we did not alert the enemy, but stayed outside the Yanzhi family's courtyard wall for the whole night."
"The next day, as we expected, Rouge left the house early and headed towards the west of the city."
"In order not to alert others, we followed them a little far away."
"Who would have thought that when passing by an intersection, a beggar suffering from dementia suddenly rushed out and stabbed Rouge to death!"
"Where's the beggar?" Li Changkong asked sharply.
"There is no such coincidence in the world. This beggar must be instigated by someone!" Zhang Han also said.
"We captured the person on the spot and have been sent to the Penal Department Prison."
"It's just... I haven't asked anything yet."
"Haha, since I dare to send people here, I am not afraid of you arresting me. How can a beggar suffering from dementia ask Chou Yinmao?" Li Changkong slapped the table and said angrily: "You're such a good person. Zhong Yunfeng, two days ago, you swore to me that there would be results within three days, is this the result today?"
When Zhong Yunfeng heard this, he no longer dared to sit down and knelt down directly: "Your Highness, please forgive me."
"Where's the house? Did you search Rouge's house after she died?" Li Changkong continued to question.
"I've... been there, but by the time we arrived, the house had already been drained of water. It was missing a clean spot and we couldn't find anything." Zhong Yunfeng was already kneeling on the ground, not daring to speak. Only then did Zhu Ben stand up and say, whispered.
"Talents, all of them, are full of talents!" Li Changkong said angrily: "I can't even understand such an obvious trick!"
"Even a pig knows how to leave a person in the house!"
"Now that all the clues have been stopped by you, what else is there to investigate?"
boom!
There was a loud noise, and Li Changkong was already slapping the table, standing up and cursing.
Liu Yu and Zhang Han couldn't help but look at him sideways, although what Zhu Ben and Zhong Yunfeng did was indeed a bit ridiculous.
But... isn't Lao Li a little too excited? This is nothing like his usual self!
Can't accept failure for a while and become angry?
Also, since Lao Li became enlightened last year, until now, it has been smooth sailing and he has never encountered any setbacks.
Nowadays, when you encounter failure, you will naturally be a little emotional.
After Li Changkong got tired of scolding, he sat down and breathed heavily.
Zhu Ben lowered his head and did not dare to speak. Zhong Yunfeng even knelt down and did not get up.
For a moment, the entire hall was silent.
Zhen Jian, who was standing in the corner, saw this and hurriedly made a pot of tea. He brought it to Li Changkong and said, "Young master, let's calm down. Drink some tea to cool down the anger."
Li Changkong couldn't help but frown when he heard this, but before he could think about it, he felt a stream of hot tea spilled down.
Zhen Jian unexpectedly lost his footing and spilled all the tea on Li Changkong!
boom!
Li Changkong, who was already angry, stood up again as soon as he slapped the table, kicked Zhen Jian hard on the ground, and cursed angrily: "Don't you have eyes?"
"Zhen Jian, do you think you are a person after entering the East Palace?"
"Have you forgotten who you served before?"
Zhen Jian was a little surprised when he saw this. He just felt that the playboy young master from a year ago seemed to be back again.
So he kowtowed as if he were pounding garlic, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Young Master, please forgive me. Young Master, please forgive me. I just had a slippery hand."
"Like a dog!" Li Changkong didn't stop, and kicked Zhen Jian in the heart again, sending him flying nearly a meter away.
"Wei Xiang, according to the rules of the palace, what is the crime of rushing into the master's house?"
Seeing that Li Changkong pointed at him, Wei Xiang looked at Zhen Jian, stood up with some hesitation, and said: "Cane...cane punishment, at least ten canes!"
Hearing this, Li Changkong nodded with satisfaction, looked at Zhen Jian and said, "Go out and receive your punishment according to the rules, no less than one of the ten sticks!"
When Zhen Jian heard this, he immediately showed a look of panic. If ten sticks came down, he wouldn't be able to peel off his skin?
"Wei Xiang, come and fight. If you don't want to be ruthless, I, the general, will fight you too!"
Wei Xiang was shocked and angry when he heard this. He looked at His Highness the Crown Prince and saw that Liu Yu didn't speak, so he hurriedly pulled Zhen Jian out.
A moment later, Zhen Jian's screams came from outside the hall.
Liu Yu and Zhang Han looked at this scene and felt... a little unreal.
Even if it was a setback, the contrast was probably too great.
In the past, Lao Li regarded Zhen Jian as a friend, and even begged Liu Yu to let him come to the East Palace, but now why...has he become such a virtuous person?
