Chapter 240 Crazy 1
"What? The Great Zhou soldiers were killed by the crossbows?"
Hall of Valor.
The emperor's horrified voice was heard.
When the emperor heard the news, his face was full of disbelief and he stood there in a daze.
The repeating crossbow is currently only possessed by Chu Ning's soldiers. Could it be that Princess Gaoping was killed by Chu Ning?
"Could it be that someone else wants to frame Chu Ning?"
The emperor didn't quite believe that Chu Ning would do such a thing, and even made excuses for Chu Ning himself.
The shadow guard and Ling Haoran in the hall looked at each other and didn't dare to speak.
In fact, they thought about this possibility, but felt that it was unlikely.
"Why don't you speak?"
The emperor frowned, his face full of displeasure: "If you have anything to say, just say it. With such a big incident, we must find the murderer behind it as soon as possible!
No matter who it is, as long as you think they might be the murderer, you must investigate them!"
The emperor was very angry that such a thing happened under his feet.
Ling Haoran sighed and saluted: "Your Majesty, the crossbow has only been available for a year, and has always been controlled by His Royal Highness the King of Chu. Others may be able to obtain a few of them, but the number will definitely not be too many.
But I saw at the scene that most of the Great Zhou soldiers died at the hands of repeating crossbows, which means that the murderers were numerous and almost everyone had a repeating crossbow in their hands.
In order to annihilate more than thirty elite soldiers of the Great Zhou in a short period of time, the number of assassins is about twice theirs, which means at least sixty crossbows. "
The words have been made very obvious.
Even if someone put the blame on Chu Ning, they don't have so many crossbows, so the most likely person is Chu Ning!
The emperor's face suddenly turned ugly.
Chu Ning just got married last night. If he were to summon him now, or even suspect him of being involved in last night's murder, he would feel guilty both as an emperor and as a father.
Thinking of this, a look of confusion appeared on the emperor's face.
If Chu Ning is summoned, it will definitely affect Chu Ning's power.
The Great Chu Dynasty finally had a prince who could defeat the enemy, and he just got married yesterday. If he is involved in this matter, it will definitely not end well.
But if Chu Ning is not summoned, there will be no way to investigate this matter.
Judging from the current clues, the only clue is the crossbow.
While the emperor was deep in thought, Ling Haoran suddenly said, "Your Majesty, this matter can actually be handled in a compromise."
The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked, "How to compromise?"
Ling Haoran replied in a deep voice: "Your Majesty only needs to issue an order, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu will be responsible for handling this matter.
Firstly, Princess Gaoping has a special status as she is the Princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty. As a sign of respect for her, our dynasty will naturally have to send someone from the royal family to be in charge of this matter.
Secondly, His Royal Highness the King of Chu was responsible for receiving the envoys. Now that the envoys have been killed, His Royal Highness the King of Chu naturally has reason to get involved in this matter.
The third one is naturally because of the crossbow!"
The three reasons made the emperor's eyes light up, and he nodded repeatedly: "Chu Ning should indeed handle this matter!"
"Zhao Ming, immediately send an order to Chu Ning, and have him work with Lord Ling, the Minister of Justice, to handle the murder of Princess Gaoping!"
After a pause, the emperor added: "You have half a month to investigate this matter thoroughly, otherwise I will hold him responsible!"
"Yes!" Zhao Ming responded and immediately went down to pass on the order.
……
Prince Chu's Mansion, inside the backyard house.
The first ray of sunlight in the morning shines through the window and falls on the bed. The warm feeling wakes Shen Wanying up slowly.
The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was a handsome face with a half-smile on his face.
Shen Wanying was startled and just wanted to get up, but the pain coming from somewhere made her frown and her body fell down.
Chu Ning chuckled, holding her slender neck to support her, and said with a smile:
"I was too crazy last night and didn't take you into consideration. As a result, you can't even get out of bed now. Just have a good rest on the bed today."
Shen Wanying thought of the scene of Chu Ning on her last night, her face turned red, and she spat at Chu Ning lightly:
"It's you, you're crazy."
She couldn't say anything too rude, and that was all she could think of.
Chu Ning just liked her shy look and couldn't help but want to tease her.
Chu Ning raised Shen Wanying's chin with his hand and said with a wicked smile: "If you don't cooperate, it will be useless even if I go crazy."
"you……"
Shen Wanying was furious and picked up a pillow beside her and was about to throw it over.
But at this time, Zhao Yu's voice came from outside the house: "Your Highness, the palace steward Zhao is here."
Shen Wanying put down her raised hand and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
Chu Ning also looked confused.
If it was someone else from the palace who came, Zhao Yu would naturally not come to disturb them at this moment.
But the person who came was Zhao Ming, the emperor's personal eunuch. He must have come with the emperor's order.
Although he didn't know what happened, Chu Ning immediately stood up, put on his clothes, and shouted outside:
"The King will be here soon!"
After saying that, Chu Ning looked at Shen Wanying, apologetically: "I wanted to spend some time with you today, but I didn't expect someone from the palace to come."
Shen Wanying shook her head, gathered her scattered black hair aside, and said softly: "Manager Zhao must have something important to do here. Don't worry about me, go and take care of the business first."
Chu Ning was deeply touched by his considerate wife and couldn't help but step forward and give her a big kiss on the forehead.
"Wait for me to come back!" Chu Ning left a word and left the house.
In the front yard living room.
Zhao Ming paced back and forth anxiously, muttering, "Why hasn't His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu come out yet?"
As a eunuch, he naturally did not understand the joy of sexual intercourse between men and women, and only wanted to complete the task assigned by the emperor as quickly as possible.
Fortunately, after a while, footsteps were heard outside the hall. Zhao Ming's eyes lit up, and he turned to look outside the hall. Sure enough, he found Chu Ning coming in with a big laugh.
"Hahahaha, Manager Zhao is a rare guest. Come, serve tea!" Chu Ning walked into the hall with a smile and gestured to Zhao Ming to take a seat.
But Zhao Ming gave a bitter smile and stamped his feet anxiously: "My Lord, something big has happened, why are you still so happy?"
Chu Ning took a sip of the tea and said with a smile, "What big deal can happen now?"
Zhao Ming said anxiously: "Princess Gaoping and her thirty guards were all killed last night, and they all died at the hands of the crossbows. Even the facial mask I bought from you was snatched away!
His Majesty was furious when he learned about this, and ordered you and Lord Ling Haoran to handle this matter together within half a month!"
Chu Ning, who was about to drink tea, suddenly changed his expression and a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
"Who did you say died?"
"Princess Gaoping!"
"When did it happen?"
"It happened this morning!"
Chu Ning's face turned terribly gloomy when he heard this.
It would have been fine if Princess Gaoping had been killed, the key point was that the other party used a crossbow!
As for the repeating crossbow, only I have it.
It seems like someone is framing this!
The other party is coming at him with such force that he seems to be trying to kill him.
Chu Ning frowned.
Who did I offend that I had to resort to such despicable means?
However, now is not the time to think about these things, we must go to the scene as soon as possible.
"General Manager Zhao replied to my father and said that I will do my best to investigate this matter!"
After saying that, Chu Ning suddenly stood up and shouted outside: "Zhao Yu, take a team to the crime scene!"
