Chapter 643 Resurrection

   "It's from Xijiang!" an officer exclaimed.

   "Yes, before the two princes held a banquet to entertain the envoy of Xijiang, I glanced at it from a distance, and this person was behind King Xijiang at the time."

  The person who died was from Xijiang, so this matter was difficult to handle.

  The officials quickly reported the situation.

  Yang Yunzhi, the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment, has been serving as the governor of Shuntian for many years. After receiving the news, the gray-haired Yang Yunzhi almost fainted.

   He is about to start his career, why would he encounter such a difficult thing? Wouldn't it be okay to let him be a quiet prison servant?

  Yang Yunzhi did not hesitate, and sent a letter to the Office of the Minister of Punishment in the dark.

   Kou Xing, Minister of Punishment, got up with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, stepped on his feet in the dark and almost tripped.

   "Master, please slow down. What a big thing, the sky can't fall." Mrs. Xue said a few words.

  Kou Xing stomped his feet: "The sky can't fall, but this is a terrible thing. Okay, I won't tell you, just sleep well, I'm going to the yamen."

   Kou Xing entered the Xingbu Yamen with a cold air. The lights in the Xingbu Yamen were brightly lit, and Yang Yunzhi, the minister of the Xingbu, and others had been waiting for a long time.

"grown ups-"

   Kou Xing entered the room with a sullen face: "What's going on?"

   "Warrior Xijiang died on the street. He was found by beatings in the middle of the night. At that time, all the neighbors were alarmed, so the matter has spread."

   "How did you die?"

   "The initial investigation was that he died of throat slitting, and now he is doing further examinations."

   Kou Xing sat down on the Taishi chair and closed his eyes.

"grown ups?"

   Kou Xing waved his hand: "Go and do what you need to do, let's talk about it at dawn."

   He rushed to the yamen overnight, his posture was already full, and there was nothing he could do about the rest.

   As the morning light dawned, Kou Xing opened his eyes and instructed his subordinates: "Go and invite the chiefs of the Duchayuan and Dali Temple."

  The only advantage of the emperor not going to court is that they don't have to go to court anymore, as long as there is nothing to sleep until three poles in the sun, no one cares.

   It didn't take long for Zhang Siqing and the censor of Zuodu to rush over, and sighed when they saw Kou Xingze's face.

   "Don't sigh, let's discuss it." Kou Xing was full of sleep, but seemed full of energy.

   "What else are you discussing? I can't hide this matter. Tell the minister of Honglu Temple as soon as possible, and let him communicate with the envoy Xijiang first. How can the murderer be so easy to find out for this person who killed in the middle of the night."

   Kou Xing's eyes flashed: "Master Liu is right, the murderer is not easy to investigate, maybe there is a clue from the Xijiang envoy."

  The man of Xijiang who killed a thousand knives stayed in the house in the middle of the night and had to run out wearing a night clothes. If you say that King Xijiang doesn't know anything, there is a ghost.

   Hongyu Siqing almost cried when he got the news, so he bravely went to inform King Gong of Xijiang.

   "You mean Hua Sheng is dead?" King Xi Jiang Gong turned blue after hearing the news.

   In the past few days, he has been sending Hua Sheng to stare at the Li Mansion, but he couldn't wait for the little girl to go out, so he had no choice but to order Hua Sheng to sneak into the Li Mansion at night to check the situation.

  Hua Sheng has not returned since he left. He had a bad premonition in his heart, but he did not expect Hua Sheng to die!

   "Where is his body? This king is going to take a look."

   "Your Highness, please come with me."

   The two walked to the door, and Princess Xijiang walked over: "Brother Wang, what's the matter?"

   "Something happened to Huasheng, I'll go take a look."

   Seeing that King Xijiang Gong passed by, Princess Xijiang shouted: "Brother Wang, I will go too."

   King Gong of Xijiang paused and nodded.

  Hua Sheng's body was placed in the morgue of the Xingbu Yamen.

   In this season, the morgue is cold and gloomy. As soon as people walk in, goose bumps appear on their arms, and a stale smell penetrates into their nostrils.

  Even though a group of people poured into the morgue, Siqing Honglu still felt unwell, and took a few steps back quietly when people were not paying attention, and unexpectedly found that Princess Xijiang had a calm face.

   Honghong Temple Minister was quite surprised.

   It's surprising that this delicate-looking Princess Xijiang is so bold.

He suppressed his astonishment and began to listen to the questioning of King Gong of Xijiang: "Who discovered Hua Sheng's body? Mr. Zhang, we came to Daliang to pay tribute. We are paying tribute to Daliang, a state of etiquette, but that's how you treat us. These envoys? Hua Sheng was actually cut to death by someone’s throat. With Hua Sheng’s skill, this is definitely not what ordinary people do. Master Zhang, you must give Xiao Wang an explanation today!”

   Honghong Siqing secretly cursed his mother in his heart.

   He was entertaining foreign guests, not investigating cases. What can he explain?

   "Don't worry, my lord, the adults of our three judicial divisions have been up all night since the incident last night, and they are trying to track down the murderer."

   "Three Judicial Justices?" King Xijiang Gong's eyes fell on Kou Xingze and the three of them.

   Hongyu Temple Secretary hurriedly introduced: "This is the Minister of Punishment Kou, this is the Zuodu Censor Liu, this is the Dali Temple Secretary Zhang..."

  King Gong of Xijiang looked at Kou Xingze: "Kou Shangshu, I wonder if your department can find the murderer?"

   Kou Xing said lightly: "If your lord has finished checking, can we go out and talk?"

   He is an old man with old arms and legs, and he can't stand being in a place like this for a long time.

  The crowd returned to the yamen's parlour.

   "Since your chief of the three judicial divisions is here, he must give Xiao Wang an explanation today!"

   "Your Highness, rest assured, we will investigate thoroughly. But there is one question I hope Your Highness can explain to me. Why did the warriors of your country die in the streets dressed like that?"

   King Gong of Xijiang stopped for a while, and looked at Princess Xijiang.

   This question is really difficult to answer. He can’t say that he sent someone to visit Champion Hou’s fiancee at night.

   "I have something to tell him to do." Princess Xijiang bit her lip.

   Princess Xijiang's opening attracted everyone's attention.

   "Sister Wang—" King Xijiang Gong pressed down and shouted in surprise.

   "If I guess correctly, Huasheng was discovered on West Street, right?"

   "Not bad." Kou Xing looked at Princess Xijiang suspiciously.

   It is not surprising to say that the Xijiang warrior was sent by King Xijiang Gong, but how did this princess stand up?

   "I have inquired about it before, there is Xingzi Hutong on West Street, and Champion Hou's fiancee lives there, right?"

   Got an affirmative answer, and Princess Xijiang suddenly bowed to King Xijiang Gong: "Brother Wang, I'm sorry, I'm the one who caused the trouble."

   "Sister Wang, why do you say that?"

Princess Xijiang said with a sullen face: "At the banquet a few days ago, Miss Li won me. I was not convinced, but I was curious. I wanted to know why Miss Li was so powerful when she was younger than me, so I sent Hua Hua. Sheng went to inquire about one or two, who knows—"

   After listening to Princess Xijiang's words, Kou Xing's head suddenly became as big as a fight.

   How is this related to Champion Hou again?

   "What does the princess mean, the death of your country's warriors is related to the Li family?"
