"Of course, if the princess doesn't have this intention, or if she no longer wants to live alone in the world, then just pretend I didn't say this."
"I'll relieve your acupoints now, and I ask the princess not to make any noise."
"..."
Having said all that needed to be said, Wei Changtian didn't scribble, and immediately stretched out his hand to touch a few acupuncture points on Ning Yuke, while supporting the latter's arm.
"Grand master... You, what you said, is it true?"
This was the first sentence Ning Yuke uttered after recovering her language function.
Wei Changtian didn't answer, but just nodded.
"..."
Ning Yuke stared blankly at Wei Changtian, her eyes were lifeless, only infinitely empty.
As if her soul had been hollowed out, her lips trembled subconsciously, as if she was choking silently.
"Ugh......"
Sighing, Wei Changtian originally wanted to say a few words of comfort, such as "sorrow and change", but he didn't say it after all.
The carriage was still galloping, and amidst the strong and pungent smell of blood, the two sat opposite each other in silence for a long time.
The invisible moon has fallen to the western side of the night sky, and the last silver light is trying to illuminate the darkness before dawn.
The moonlight may know that no matter how hard it tries, it will never be able to light up the night like the sun.
But it is still stubbornly rising and falling day after day, and it has been like this every day for thousands of years.
It was very quiet in the car, until Ning Yuke suddenly "plopped" and fell to his knees in the pool of blood all over the ground, looking up at Wei Changtian.
"Young Master Wei, I want to live."
"..."
Wei Changtian was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to help, but he stopped suddenly when he stretched his hand halfway.
He looked into those eyes, and saw an emotion in them that he had never seen in Ning Yuke's eyes before.
Hatred.
......
......
A quarter of an hour later.
The black carriage slowly stopped by a deserted wild lake, Wei Changtian jumped out of the carriage, and looked around cautiously.
They will definitely not be able to get out of the city with the corpse.
And here are one of the few inaccessible places in Shuzhou City, which is convenient for disposing of the carriage and the corpses on it.
The big bay red horse pulling the cart beside him was panting heavily, but the next moment the horse's head flew high into the air with a "puchi".
Wei Changtian didn't say a word, and after killing the horse, he immediately returned to the car with Zhang San and started "unloading", planning to deal with all the clues that might leave traces right here.
The easiest way is to burn them all with one fire, but the movement is too loud, and the people around will probably notice the anomaly.
So I can only use the "stupid" method...
"Puff-puff-puff."
Throwing a few severed corpses by the lake, Zhang San suggested in a low voice: "My lord, let me handle the corpses...I'm a professional."
"?"
Wei Changtian glanced at Zhang San, but he didn't refuse. He turned around and wanted to go back to the car to get the rest of the body.
But when he turned his head away, what he saw in front of him stunned him for a moment.
In the night, Ning Yuke was holding the severed corpse, walking towards the lake step by step.
"This......"
Zhang San also saw this scene at this time, so he ran over immediately.
"Princess, let me come."
"No, no, I can..."
It could be seen that Ning Yuke was still terrified of "holding half of a bloody corpse", but she gritted her teeth tightly and tried to hold herself back.
"Zhang San, come back."
Wei Changtian gave an order, and then walked towards the carriage.
But at the moment when he and Ning Yuke intersected each other, Wei Changtian still paused a little.
He remembered a sentence from "The Three-Body Problem" in his previous life——
Hatred is the sharpest weapon in this world.
"Move faster."
Chapter 148 Public Enemy of the People
"Prince Shun was killed last night!"
"What?! Where did you get the news??"
"It's spread all over the city and you don't know it! Didn't you see that the streets are full of official servants today!"
"This... the assassination of the prince a few days ago hasn't been found out yet? Was it done by the same group?"
"Who knows, there are rumors that it is Xuantianhui."
"Xuantianhui? How could they kill Prince Shun?"
"You ask me, I ask who to..."
"Oh, what happened to Daning recently..."
"..."
Just as Wei Changtian expected, the next day, the news that Prince Shun's family was exterminated spread throughout Shuzhou City like wings.
Ning Qingyu has been in Shuzhou for more than 20 years. He usually keeps a low profile and can write a good poem that is widely read from time to time. Therefore, most people still have a good impression of this prince.
But who knew that such a prince who had nothing to contend with in the world would die inexplicably like this?
In addition to regret and shock, the discussion about "who is behind the scenes" has spread rapidly, and it has almost become the favorite topic of every household after dinner.
The government is incompetent, a bunch of trash, I'm afraid they are colluding with bandits...
The "Joint Investigation Team" from the capital faced unparalleled pressure for a while, and under this public opinion environment, the news from the palace soon spread to Shuzhou.
I haven't closed my eyes for three whole days after learning about this...
In Wan Minzhao, Ning Yongnian's grief and indignation were beyond words, just hearing the edict read out by the official made people want to cry.
In addition to expressing the grief of losing his brother, he also said three things in Zhaozhong.
One is that the time to solve the case has been shortened from the previous "year ago" to ten days. The joint investigation team must solve the case within ten days, otherwise all members will be dismissed immediately and go home.
Second, after half a month, the imperial guards from the capital will personally escort Ning Qingyu's body back to the capital for burial.
The third is that the imperial court issued a super high reward of ten thousand taels of silver to encourage the people to actively provide clues about the missing Ning Yuke.
Public opinion plus the emperor's order, under such heavy pressure, the joint investigation team tossed and tossed earth-shakingly in Shuzhou, and finally found the result "fulfilling the mission".
Eight days after the "Prince's Extermination of the Door" incident occurred.
Shuzhou Prefecture Yamen, Xuanjing Division, and Qingpao Army dispatched at the same time to destroy the Shuzhou sub-rudder of Xuantianhui in one fell swoop, and Bai Shengan, the incense master, was captured alive on the spot.
After a day and night of continuous interrogation, Bai Shengan not only admitted his crime, but also revealed a "shocking" secret——
The two assassinations against Ning Qingyu were all instigated by Ning Yuke, the Princess of Rou'an!
Although this thing sounds so unreliable, it is reasonable to some extent.
Bai Shengan is a mortal man, there is no reason to slander Ning Yuke before he dies.
What's more, why did everyone else die, but Ning Yuke mysteriously disappeared?
Even if she really escaped by luck, why didn't she show up for so long?
Even though there are still many doubts, when all the contradictions point to Ning Yuke, most people already have an obvious answer in their hearts——
Ning Yuke has a ghost in her heart!Don't dare to show up!
People are always willing to believe what they want to believe, but it is difficult to realize whether this "willing" is their own subjective "will".
Therefore, the first-class joint investigation team made the investigation results public. Although it did not clearly state that Ning Yuke was behind the scenes in the document, the passionate public anger was still instantly ignited.
The behavior of beating and murdering parents and other elders is called "evil rebellion", which is a capital offense in the Daning law.
And from a moral point of view, especially in this world that values family values very much, it would not be a pity to die a hundred times for such a bad behavior.
For a while, the people of Shuzhou City and even the entire dynasty were trying their best to scold Ning Yuke.
That is to say, there is no Weibo these days, otherwise Ning Yuke would probably be sprayed with autism.
In addition to scolding, whether it is ordinary people or various forces in the open or in the dark, they are all curious about one thing——
Where did Ning Yuke, who seemed to have evaporated from the world, go?
......
......
"Princess, this is the notice posted by the state government just today, please take a look."
"it is good."
In the dark room where the sun was not visible, Ning Yuke's face was a little pale. I don't know if it was because she didn't have a good rest in recent days, or because she hadn't seen the sun for too long.
She gently took the rice paper full of characters from Wei Changtian's hand, and after reading it slowly with her head down, she couldn't help showing a wry smile on her face.
"My lord, are people in the world scolding me now..."
"Yes."
Wei Changtian did not deceive Ning Yuke with "good intentions", but replied truthfully: "Although it is not clearly stated in the notice, most people do think so."
"..."
Ning Yuke's lips trembled slightly, and she lowered her head even lower.
"I see......"
"If the princess is fine, then I will go up first."
Wei Changtian nodded: "Tomorrow I may have to go out on business for a few days. During this period, Yuan'er will come to bring you meals and a change of clothes as usual, and please let the princess live in peace. I will talk about other things when I come back."
"Um......"
Ning Yuke first responded softly, and then suddenly stopped Wei Changtian who was about to leave.
"Master, son... I, I have one more request."
"What's the matter?"
"I saw the notice saying that the bones of my father and sister will be sent back to the capital for burial...I, I want to wait for them to leave...to take a last look."
"Princess."
Wei Changtian turned around, frowning slightly: "Do you know the risks involved?"
"I......"
Ning Yuke's body trembled slightly, and her voice was very low: "Yes, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have caused such trouble to the young master."
"Also please forgive me..."
"..."
Alas, the net gives me a problem.
Wei Changtian sighed inwardly.
It is understandable for Ning Yuke to have such thoughts. After all, the whole family is dead, and it is human nature to want to see her off for the last time.
But the risk of this matter is too great, Wei Changtian even suspected that Ning Yongnian insisted on transporting the body back to the capital for burial, just to take the opportunity to catch Ning Yuke out.
