Chapter 420

As for the assassin, Dali Temple made every effort to thoroughly investigate.

Soon, a suspicious candidate was dug out from the mouth of the assassin.

Seeing the evidence sent by Dali Temple, Murong Hongxu slammed the table and asked, "Send Murong Wen to the palace!"

Eunuch Cheng hurriedly persuaded Murong Hongxu: "Your Majesty, calm down."

"Hmph." Murong Hongxu snorted coldly, his face gloomy.

The eunuch went to pass on Murong Wen, and at the same time, Murong Ji had already received the news.

"Dali Temple has conclusive evidence. Your Highness, the third prince may be in trouble this time." The eunuch said in a low voice.

Murong Ji sneered and said, "Do you think Murong Wen is a fool?"

"The people who contacted those assassins are definitely not alive or dead." Murong Ji's words surprised the eunuch.

"In that case, wouldn't the third prince be allowed to escape this time?" the eunuch asked unwillingly.

"What do you think?" Murong Ji said with a smile, "Sometimes, no evidence is needed, the same works."

"Huh?" The eunuch looked at Murong Ji puzzled.

Murong Ji smiled without saying a word.

In the imperial study room, after Murong Wen saluted, he stood beside him with his head bowed: "Father..."

Murong Hongxu directly threw the thing in his hand onto Murong Wen. Murong Wen picked it up in fear and looked at it quickly. After reading it, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed heavily without saying a word.

"You don't have anything to explain?" Murong Hongxu asked in a deep voice.

"I don't have any explanation." Murong Wen said in a low voice, "I have never done this kind of thing before, so I don't know how to explain it."

Murong Hongxu stared at Murong Wen with fiery eyes.

Murong Wen knelt motionless, and frankly let Murong Hongxu's scrutinizing gaze scan over him.

"Those assassins said that the person who contacted them has the sign of your house." Murong Hongxu said without any ups and downs.

Murong Wen said directly: "Royal father can send someone to investigate thoroughly at the son's house."

Such a candid appearance dispelled most of Murong Hongxu's doubts.

This matter can be said to be done by Murong Wen, and it seems that the evidence is solid, but the detailed investigation is full of flaws.

"Those remnants are also hateful." Murong Hongxu snorted coldly.

Murong Wen was overjoyed, knowing that this matter was over.

"Father..." Murong Wen just said these two words.

Suddenly a young eunuch ran in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Minister of Dali Temple is asking to see you."

Dali Temple Minister hurried in, knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty, those assassins are all dead!"

"What?" Murong Hongxu suddenly stood up and asked angrily.

Murong Wen was startled, what's going on?

-

Murong Hongxu looked at the neatly arranged corpses, his face sinking like water, staring at Dali Siqing, and said with a sneer, "All these people are dead?"

"Yes." Dali Siqing replied tremblingly.

"Don't know the cause of death?" Murong Hongxu questioned.

"I don't know." Dali Temple Minister replied in fear, "After investigation, they committed suicide."

After Murong Hongxu listened, his eyes fell on Murong Wen with cold eyes.

It was as if a basin of cold water with ice slag poured Murong Wen from head to toe, completely blinded.

How could these people kill themselves?

Only after finding out that they had something to do with him, these people committed suicide, as if he did it, killing people to silence them.

Murong Wen, who was full of confidence, completely panicked now.
