Chapter 156 Why is the Emperor so fast?
This night in the capital city is destined to make many people unable to sleep.
As soon as Song Junhe left Sun Mansion, he was called to the palace by the emperor. That night, no one knew what he and the emperor talked about in Wenhua Palace.
Just after daybreak, an imperial decree was read out at the morning court, changing the title of Prince Yu to Prince Su, and granting him the fiefdom of Suzhou. He was to set off for his fiefdom that very day and was not allowed to enter the capital without being summoned.
As soon as the decree was issued, the whole court was in an uproar.
This decree meant that Song Junhe had completely left the vortex of power and from then on he could only be an idle prince in a remote fiefdom.
What the imperial edict did not mention was that his descendants could not inherit the throne.
His descendants can only be rich and idle people in the future.
Song Junhe was filled with resentment, but the order to protect Lu Xinran was not withdrawn.
If something happened to Lu Xinran, he would not be able to sit back and relax even as a prince.
Feeling both hateful and depressed, he almost broke his teeth when he left the palace.
Lu Xinran, who knew nothing about this, was extremely shocked when he heard the news at noon.
She hadn't even had the chance to take action, so why was Song Junhe driven to his fiefdom?
Moreover, his title was changed from Prince of Yu to Prince of Su, and his fiefdom was changed from Yuzhou to Suzhou. He was not allowed to enter the capital without being summoned. It seemed that he had been abandoned by the emperor.
But... didn't he just present a beautiful woman to the emperor, and the emperor accepted her with a clear conscience?
As a father, how can you turn against your parents as soon as you put on your pants?
Could it be that there was something wrong with those beauties and the emperor was angry and humiliated?
She was full of doubts and went to look for Lu Xinlan, but he just opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
"Forget it, Prince Yu, no, now he's Prince Su, she's just asking for trouble, let's just ignore him."
She just put aside the things she couldn't figure out. What she cared about most now was the case.
The murderer is so arrogant and has such a bad influence. Once the case is solved, she will definitely gain a lot of health points.
Lu Xinlan admired her for not seeking to understand everything. If she had thought more about everything, she would have discovered something unusual earlier.
She didn't know whether this was a problem with Lu Xinran's personality or whether she would subconsciously ignore these things under the influence of the system.
"Just now, His Highness the Fourth Prince sent someone to deliver a message. There has been no progress in the case of dismemberment and disposal of corpses, but we got a clue in Yongningfang. Someone saw a black-roofed, black-painted carriage driving into one of the alleys at around 9:00 p.m., and there was blood on the floor of the carriage."
Lu Xinran: “???”
Isn't this... a bit too coincidental?
"The bloodstains we saw in several markets were very light. If the temperature in the capital had not suddenly warmed up the day before, there would probably be no traces left. Can the words of the person who gave the clue be trusted?"
Lu Xinlan only replied softly: "Whether it is credible or not, we will go and see it later."
When they heard that they could go out again and use the melon-eating system to earn health points, everyone was very excited.
After lunch, the two left by car.
They arrived at Yongningfang smoothly, and Song Junyan was already waiting there when they arrived.
Next to him was the man who had told the officer about finding the bloodstain.
"This man's name is Wang Qing. He lives in the alley in front. He said that he went to the market with his family to buy meat and vegetables yesterday. When he came back, he saw a horse-drawn carriage sneaking into the alley in front and never came out again."
When Ding San saw the sisters get off the car, he immediately told them the new clues.
As soon as Lu Xinran got out of the car, her eyes fell on Wang Qing, who had messy eyebrows, triangular eyes, and droopy eye corners that made his eyes look even smaller.
He was short and plump. Lu Xinran took a special look at his hands at his sides. His nails were neatly trimmed and there was no sign of fatigue on his hands.
"Sister, ask about this person's family background."
Lu Xinlan nodded slightly and looked at Wang Qing again with a sharp gaze.
"Where is your home and what does your family do for a living?"
"My Lord, my home is in the alley in front of me, and I work as a clerk in a woodworking shop."
Be a buddy?
Lu Xinran narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Wang Qing again, always feeling that something was strange.
The guys she had seen were accustomed to bow slightly and look cautious no matter what time or what, but the person in front of her obviously did not have this habit.
She knew that she had not studied these things systematically, so she stopped making blind judgments. She probed her consciousness into the system and prepared to look through Wang Qing's booklet.
As a result, when I entered the word "Wang Qing" in the search box, there was no response at all.
She typed in Song Junyan, and the familiar booklet immediately appeared.
[This guy lied, even his name is fake! ]
The inner voice appeared in the ears of Lu Xinlan and Song Junyan, and they both looked at Wang Qing with a hint of understanding in their eyes.
Yesterday in the streets, no blood was found in two of the six markets.
The bloodstains were so faint, how did the person in front of me discover them? He also swore that the carriage had entered the alley in front?
"Ding San!"
Song Junyan wasted no time and immediately ordered his men to go to the nearby alleys to ask if anyone knew Wang Qing who provided the clue.
Wang Qing didn't expect these people to act unconventionally and directly ignore the clues he provided and began to doubt his identity.
He glared at Lu Xinran with a sinister look, then immediately retracted his gaze, lowered his head, and put on an obedient and honest look.
Ding San led his men to inquire in the alley for nearly half an hour, and when they came back they brought back the news that the man in front of them was indeed named Wang Qing, and his home had always been in this alley.
Such news made Lu Xinran feel very interesting.
She really didn't expect that the murderer buried so many people here in order to confuse them.
"Sister, how about we go and ask too? Maybe we can get a different answer if we ask in a different way."
Lu Xinlan nodded, turned around and waited for Song Junyan's instructions.
Song Junyan nodded slightly at the two sisters: "Together."
Leaving someone here to keep a close eye on Wang Qing, they walked into the alley again.
Lu Xinlan looked at the alley and was moved: "Your Highness, if the property in this alley changes its owner, does it need to be registered with Shuntian Prefecture?"
Song Junyan raised his eyebrows and instantly understood her intention.
"I'll send someone back to the government office to investigate."
"We also need to go to the pawnshops and nearby alleys and ask people if anyone has come to Yongningfang to rent or buy a yard recently, especially those who need an entire alley."
Song Junyan nodded again, he turned his head to look at Ding Si, who immediately clasped his fists and ran out.
Lu Xinran listened to their conversation and felt full of pride.
My sister is so awesome!
No matter how those people plot and scheme, it will be useless. The sisters can definitely get rid of this paper tiger by joining forces!
