There is a tyrant in the home after the poison

Chapter 1752 425: Cruel means

Unexpectedly, the emperor came late, so forget it.

They had vaguely heard that something happened to the elders around Yang Churuo. Although they didn't know what happened, seeing Yang Churuo's slightly red eyes, they naturally knew that something was wrong.

This Jiang Rongrui was even more strange, he hadn't appeared at this time.

This is a master of merit, want to put on airs for the emperor?

As soon as this idea came to mind, everyone denied it in their hearts. Not to mention that the current emperor and empress are all miraculous, but Jiang Rongrui would not do this because of his loyalty to Chu.

Could it be that he didn't show up because he knew what was going on?

But it doesn't make sense, then at least someone should be sent to deliver the letter...

Hearing the emperor's question, everyone's heart turned a thousand times, but they didn't know how to answer, so they all fell silent together.

Chu Yuchen smiled coldly, and said, "It seems that there is something blocking the general's footsteps..."

Yang Churuo's heart was moved, and he said quickly: "Could it be that the general found something? This is why I went to chase and arrest him personally, so I don't have time to clone, and I don't have time to send someone to inform you and me?"

The more I think about it, the more likely it is, otherwise, Jiang Rongrui would not be so rude!

Chu Yuchen restrained his smile, nodded and said, "That's right, it is indeed possible that this is the case, I'm afraid Jiang Rongrui may not be his opponent because of the strong martial arts of the killer."

The two of them suddenly sensed that something was wrong, their expressions changed, and each of them galloped towards the General's Mansion on a fast horse.

Arriving at the gate of the general's mansion, they saw the gate of the mansion was open, and there was no one guarding the gate. The two looked at each other, both of them were shocked. They were about to walk towards the gate, but they saw someone stamped scarlet on the gate. of a handprint.

Bursts of blood rushed into his nose, and only then did he see a person behind the door with round eyes and blood on his palms. He obviously wanted to run away from the door, but someone took his life from behind. On the door, a bloody handprint was left!

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the lanterns in front of the General's Mansion with the huge ginger characters swayed with the wind, making creaking sounds.

It's just that I don't know if the murderer just went in, or has already left!
Chu Yuchen said in a low voice: "Be careful!" As soon as he moved, he took a step forward and protected Yang Churuo behind him.

The two walked towards the general's mansion one after the other.

This General's Mansion is a mansion bestowed by Chu Yuchen. It has a total of five entrances. Outside the front house, the backyard and the garden, the area is huge.

After the two entered the door, they went straight to the upper room without any hesitation.

They could only feel the whistling of the wind beside their ears, filled their noses with bursts of bloody smell, and there were servants everywhere along the way, only then did they understand why no one reported to the palace.

Could it be that this killer is actually a group of people?Or maybe it wasn't a human being at all, but the devil in the purgatory, that's why he was able to deal with such vicious hands. In the entire general's mansion, there was not even a single person left alive.

The closer to the main room, the more intense the bloody smell, and the corpses of servants and servant girls gradually increased.Chu Yuchen reached out and tested a servant girl's nose.

Already completely out of breath.

Sighing, he shook his head at Yang Churuo, reached out and touched her neck lightly, and said: "The body is already cold, although there is still snow on the ground, but to make the body completely cold, I'm afraid it will take one Time is enough."

As he was talking, he saw a figure flashing behind him. Chu Yuchen hurriedly turned his head and was about to slap him. He looked at the person coming, and then withdrew his slap, "It's you..."

The visitor touched the ground on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty and the Empress had arrived at the general's mansion, and felt uneasy, so I came here to protect Your Majesty." Shui Ling said with a sinking body, naturally understanding the seriousness of the matter.

That's the head coach of the Dragon Army...

That was the person he looked up to and admired. Unexpectedly, the whole family was slaughtered... I don't know what happened to him?Was it murdered?
Hope it doesn't get poisoned.

Who is it, what a ruthless method.

Chu Yuchen nodded and said, "Since we're here, let's go and see where General Jiang Rongrui is."

Shui Ling breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't know the truth about the danger of this killer, but as Chu Yuchen's personal bodyguard, he had the responsibility to protect his master.

The three of them entered the main room of the General's Mansion together, but they couldn't help but frowned together.

I saw two servant girls lying on the ground at the entrance of the main room, obviously dead for a long time.It seemed that this killer was so ruthless that he never spared such a thirteen or fourteen-year-old maid.

The main room of the General's Mansion is only divided into two rooms by a sapphire carved screen, which can be clearly seen at a glance from the door.

The general in the main room has round eyes, but there is only a piece of gray in his eyes, and all vitality has been cut off.However, his arms were still propped on the table, forcibly supporting his already stiff body, and he could not fall down even though he was dead!
Those lifeless eyes were wide open, seemingly unbelievable, and the teeth were clenched tightly, as if there was indescribable grief and anger, and it seemed that there was something to tell the visitor.

Chu Yuchen stepped past the dead body of the maid at the door, and walked straight to Jiang Rongrui's body, only to see his face was hideous, and his death was extremely horrific.

One of his palms was completely spread out, firmly propped on the table.

Chu Yuchen's eyes were filled with tears. The general in front of him was born and died for him. At this time, it was supposed to be a celebration banquet full of flowers, but unexpectedly he died at home, and he died with regret!
I didn't even have time to toast a glass, to reward him for his service to the country, to thank him for his achievements.but he...

Chu Yuchen put Jiang Rongrui's body on the ground with his own hands, touched his eyelids with his palms, and closed his eyes for him...

But Shui Ling's gaze flashed, and he took a step forward, his eyes turned to the table, only to see that there was a crooked horizontal line written on the table, piercing through the table.

It turned out that what Jiang Rongrui covered up with his hands was exactly such a clue that he left behind with all his efforts.

Shui Ling traced the word with his finger, but the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter. After a long while, he walked up to Chu Yuchen who was sorting out Jiang Rongrui's remains, and said, "Your Majesty, what is your appointment?" Found it, Your Majesty, please look at the table!"

Chu Yuchen stood up, stared at the past, but was puzzled, and asked, "What does Jiang Rongrui mean?"

Shui Ling shook his head and said, "Maybe there is only one person who came, maybe..."

Chu Yuchen walked to the table, but suddenly said "Huh", and said, "Why is this trace getting shallower and weaker, and it seems to be losing strength?"

Shui Ling said: "This subordinate just checked some of the corpses outside the door, and found no obvious wounds on their bodies, obviously they were killed by the internal force, but killing so many people in a row, let alone such a powerful internal force. However, it is unheard of...but after seeing this written by the general, the subordinates have another idea in their minds."

Chu Yuchen's eyes sank, "Say it."

Shui Ling agreed, and then said: "Before the general died, a large amount of internal energy may have surged out, and the internal energy in the body was cut off, and that's why he died. If the general has no other wounds on his body, it probably proves that his subordinates are injured. If not, it cannot explain the obvious difference in the strength of the general's internal strength."

In this way, it must be a person with evil deeds...

Just, who is this person?
It's creepy to think that there is such a person who has been in his imperial city all the time, but since this person slaughtered his general, he must have bad intentions towards Chu State, why did he wait until he returned to the country to make trouble?

If he started a massacre before he captured the Southern Dynasty, he would have to worry about the war on the one hand, and on the other hand, the backyard of the imperial city would be on fire.

If he hated Chu, why didn't he do that?
Going through the masters who stayed in the imperial city one by one in my mind, I only felt that everyone was like a killer, but when I thought about it carefully, everyone was not like that.

Shui Ling had finished inspecting the general's body at this time, put one knee on the ground, and said: "Your Majesty, what I expected was right, just as what I expected, the general died because of loss of internal energy..."

After saying this, he paused, and then said: "Your Majesty, please allow me to investigate this matter. This subordinate has a very close personal relationship with General Jiang Rongrui. Today his family was wiped out, and this subordinate is willing to capture this person with his own hands. To avenge the General."

Chu Yuchen nodded slowly, and said: "In this case, I will entrust the investigation power of this matter to you. After the murderer is captured, he will beheaded for public display, and the official punishment will be declared!"

Shui Ling's eyes flashed, and Shen Sheng said yes!

The guards poured in from the door one after another. Seeing that there were more and more people, Chu Yuchen took Yang Churuo back to the palace first, and only ordered Shui Ling to lead the people to take care of the funeral affairs for everyone in the General's Mansion.

Shui Ling bowed and sent the two of them out, then turned around and walked back.He had a vague guess in his mind, but he didn't dare to be completely sure.

He also had Chu Yuchen's doubts just now, but at this moment, an idea popped up like a flash, that is, this person returned with the brigade... Who killed him?
Suddenly, a figure flashed in his mind, Nan Moli!
The poison Nan Moli received in his own barracks was not fatal, but for some reason he died in the palace of the Southern Dynasty that day.

He was originally a person with extremely high martial arts, and it was definitely not an easy task to kill him.

In this way, the murderer should be someone who was in the Nanhuang Palace at that time!

Is it him...

Shui Ling's eyes turned cold, and he said to the guards: "You take care of the funeral for everyone in the General's Mansion properly, I'll go out, I'm going to verify whether my thoughts are correct."

When the guards agreed, Shui Ling stretched his feet towards the ground, jumped up into the air like a roc bird, and disappeared after a few ups and downs.

Shui Ling practiced Qinggong and flew over the eaves and walls all the way to the palace. He wanted to prove his conjecture. Everyone said that this person did not know martial arts, but when he entered the palace, he clearly saw that his steps were light and he was not afraid of the cold. This is clearly the characteristic of a master insider.

But because I knew his identity at the time, I just thought that his body was stronger than others, but I didn't think deeply about it.

Now that I think about it, this person obviously restrained his breath deliberately to make everyone misunderstand.

Both the master and the queen are not the kind of people who are jealous of the virtuous and capable, and he is probably harboring ill intentions in such a deliberate way!

Thinking in his heart, he galloped, and he had already arrived at the palace. Standing on the palace wall, after a little recognition of the direction, he galloped towards the palace in the north, which was Xuanyuan Jinhong's residence!
He fell silently from the palace wall, leaned close to the closed palace door and listened intently for a while.

After confirming that there was no movement, the dagger in his hand was unsheathed, and gently pushed open the palace door...

I was about to sneak into the palace silently, but I heard a long sigh coming out of the palace...

Did he hear himself?

The man seemed to understand what Shui Ling was thinking, and took the initiative to explain: "You jumped off the wall, and I heard it. I thought it was some thief who came to steal things, but I didn't expect it to be you?"

Shui Ling looked into the hall, and saw that there was only one lamp lit in the huge palace, and it was swaying with the cold wind blowing in from outside the hall door, making the light in the room dim, sometimes bright and sometimes dark.

Under the dim light, Xuanyuan Jinhong was sitting casually at the table with a smile on his lips, but his eyes were like beasts in the dark night, so bright that people dare not look directly at them.

The flickering light shone on his face, making his originally handsome face look a bit hideous.

Shui Ling was furious in his heart, and said in a hateful voice: "You didn't expect it to be me, but I didn't expect it to be you. The master and the queen treated you kindly, and saved you from the Southern Emperor. I didn't expect you With a human face and an animal heart, you actually repay your kindness with revenge, aren't you afraid of going to the [-]th floor of hell after death?"

Kindness and revenge?

Xuanyuan Jinhong laughed out loud as if hearing a very funny joke, and with a wave of his hand, the palace door was tightly closed. He stood up and approached Shui Ling step by step, the laughter in his mouth gradually followed his steps. It turned cold, and finally turned into a piercing sneer.
