The captain of the guard came to the prince, knelt down on one knee, and reported: "Your Highness, I just led my subordinates to chase the murderer, but unexpectedly the assassin had already been rescued.

"They released ammunition in the forest to disrupt our army's sight. When we broke through the confusion, the assassins and their accomplices all fled."

The captain of the guard bowed his head and confessed: "My subordinates failed to pursue the murderer and failed to catch the culprit. His crime deserves death. I ask the Prince to come down and punish him!"

Hearing this, Xiang Feng snorted coldly and said: "You also know that you deserve death. As the assassin attacked, you, as the leader of the guards, failed to detect the crisis and almost put the prince and princess in danger. Your crime is one ;

"After bringing troops to help, he ignored the comfort of the prince and princess and personally led people to pursue the murderer without leaving any bodyguards to accompany him for protection. The second crime;

"You took away all the troops, but still failed to capture the assassins one by one. You are guilty of three crimes. These crimes are punished at the same time. Today, even if I leave you alive, I will not be able to tell King Xuanping and the adults in the hunting ground, Master, tell me."

Xiang Feng sighed and said, "Come here, take the person down, dismiss him from his post and investigate!"

The captain of the guard kowtowed heavily and said loudly: "I am fully responsible for the mistakes I made, and I am willing to accept the punishment. I just ask Your Highness and Prince to give me a chance to make amends..."

"Now that things have happened, what other achievements do you have to make up for your crime?" Xiang Feng said.

The captain of the guard said: "When I return to His Highness the Crown Prince, although my subordinates failed to capture the assassin alive this time, they brought back the body of an assassin. There were special marks of some kind of organization on the body of the deceased, and I wanted to , this may be a clue.”

He said: "If we follow this clue, we will definitely be able to track down the real culprit behind the scenes!"

While he was talking, the body of an assassin was carried up.

The captain of the guard stood on the side of the corpse and opened his collar slightly in front of everyone. In an instant, the tattoo printed on the arm was revealed——

"This is the clue that my subordinates found!" said the captain of the guard: "When my subordinates chased the assassins, they found that they all seemed to have this secret tattoo on their bodies. It is most likely the unique mark of their organization."

The captain of the guard affirmed: "So my subordinates think this may be a breakthrough."

Hearing this, Xiang Feng sneered and said, "What kind of breakthrough is this? Do you want me to go from house to house to see whose bodyguard has this black eagle tattoo?"

The captain of the guard was speechless for a moment: "This..."

"What is this?" Xiang Feng became impatient: "No matter how much nonsense and excuses you use, they will just cover up your incompetence. Come on, pull this person down! -"

After the words fell, the guard next to him was about to take action. At this time——

"Hold on."

Fu Guan stood up and said: "The assassin was obviously well prepared, and it is reasonable for everyone to be unable to guard against it. Furthermore, I was the one who asked the captain of the guard to chase the assassin. If this is strange, it is still my fault. Besides - —”

He smiled slightly and said: "The princess, I, and Lord Shangguan were not harmed at all. Please forgive me, Your Highness, and spare the Lord Guard."

Hearing this, Xiang Feng raised his eyes and looked at Fu Guan: "King Xuanping is tolerant." He hummed with unknown meaning, and then, his eyes drifted behind Fu Guan——

"what is that?"

Everyone followed Xiang Feng's gaze and looked over.Several lines of sight passed through the grass, and finally they caught a glimpse of the remains of several Qiu family members hidden by the weeds.

Just now, Lou Xiyue, Fu Guan and others were standing here, and the surroundings were overgrown with weeds, so others were not particularly close, so their view was blocked.At this time, Jing Xiangfeng mentioned it, and everyone immediately discovered the body hidden on the other side of the grass.

Xiang Feng dismounted and walked over: "Why, is this also the assassin's body?"

He walked with long strides, and when he passed by Shangguan Jie, Shangguan Jie quickly lowered his head and bent over.Shangguan Jie lowered his eyebrows and lowered his sleeves, hiding the leaf of Lost Soul Grass under his sleeves.

Shangguan Jie replied: "I don't know either..."

Fu Guan turned around and said, "These three people are all Qiu Zhi's family members. Just now when we were avoiding the assassin's pursuit, we accidentally discovered their bodies here."

At this moment, Xiang Feng has arrived.He glanced at the dead body on the ground and said, "An unexpected discovery?" He looked up at Shangguan Jie and asked:
"Sir Shangguan, if I remember correctly, you were the one who sent the Qiu family to prison and died in prison. Then why, their bodies will appear here?"

Shangguan Jie really didn't know how to answer this question.He said helplessly: "I don't know about this. This case has long been under the control of the Criminal Department. Why their bodies appear here and why they are dressed like this, I really don't know."

Xiang Feng: "Oh?" He looked at Fu Guan: "Then what does King Xuanping have to say about this?"

"His Royal Highness, I am also...very puzzled." Fu Guan said with a smile.

Lou Xiyue: "..."

She secretly rolled her eyes at Xiang Feng and thought to herself, Xiang Feng knew very well what the truth of today's incident was, and he was pretending to be here again at this moment, really thinking that no one else could do anything to him.

"You can't deduce it, but I have some speculations." Xiang Feng said again, reaching for the guard's sword: "I think these Qiu family members also have the same black eagle tattoo. "

He played with the hilt of the sword, and the blade drew an arc in mid-air.Immediately, the tip of the sword was pressed against the neck of the deceased: "Qiu Zhi fell to the law, and the Qiu family was unwilling to take revenge.

"It's just that they were wanted by the court and had been hiding outside the city, unable to find a chance to take revenge. Until they were discovered by Lord Shangguan and then imprisoned." Xiang Feng analyzed by himself:
"After the Qiu family was imprisoned, they quickly contacted Qiu Zhi's old party. The two parties cooperated internally and externally, and a golden cicada escaped from the prison. Then I don't need to say more about what happened after that, right?"

As he said that, Xiang Feng turned his head and looked at Fu Guan.

Fu Guan "suddenly realized" and followed his train of thought: "What the Crown Prince means is that after the Qiu family learned that the Crown Prince hosted a banquet in his mansion and managed to escape from prison, they planned to attack in the hunting ground. The culprit of today's assassination was The culprit is the Qiu family?"

"Whether the facts are as I imagined, you will know at a glance." After that, Xiang Feng moved his hand, and the deceased's collar split into two gaps, and immediately, the obvious black eagle tattoo was revealed to everyone.

Xiang Feng lowered his head and looked, and immediately said: "Sure enough!"

Lou Xiyue and Fu Guan also looked at each other, and they both said in unison: "As expected."

As they had expected, Prince Xiang Feng had made up his mind to blame the Qiu family for today's assassination of the prince, regardless of whether the assassination plan was successful or not.

The bodies of the Qiu family were dumped here early in the morning just for this moment.

It's just hateful that Lou Xiyue knew Xiang Feng's evil intentions, but couldn't tell the truth, let alone bring down the current prince Xiang Feng.

Not only that, they also have to act with Xiang Feng.

Lou Xiyue glanced at Xiang Feng and secretly endured this sigh.
