Prince’s Multifaceted Wife - C224

Nanhai tightly clenched his fists, blue veins popping out on his forehead. “I told you, I only did that because I didn’t want to alert the enemy to prevent the murderer from escaping.” He had not done anything wrong. Why was Chen Zhi always sticking to this matter?

“Why didn’t you say you were selfish? If you had sent people to protect Bing-Er from the beginning, Bing-Er wouldn’t have suffered so much. Master, didn’t you just say that? Bing-Er didn’t care about her own danger. She went to the place where the dead man lived. You knew Bing-Er was in danger, yet you didn’t send anyone to protect her. You just wanted to catch the killer. How can a selfish person like you have the face to fight for you with Han and Bing’er? Are you worthy? ”

Zhining’s words made the South Sea’s originally ugly face even more unsightly. He pointed at Zhining, “You! “Chen Zhi, don’t push yourself too far. Although I have not sent anyone to protect Miss Bing’er, I have sent someone to follow you from the shadows. Otherwise, I would not have saved your lives at such a crucial moment.” Wouldn’t it be best if the murderer returned and the others remained unharmed?

“Southern Ocean, do you know? That day, Bing-Er took some chronic medicine. If Bing-Er took some acute medicine, then Bing-Er would be a dead body right now. If that’s really the case, ask yourself, do you not feel the slightest bit of guilt in your heart? ” ZhiNing looked at Nanhai and asked faintly.

The Southern Sea was suddenly at a loss for words. He didn’t know how to reply to Chen Zhi.

She had already said what she needed to say, and had also told what she needed to say. All that was left for her to do was to look at the Southern Ocean and think about it for herself. If he still believed that she was right, then she had completely lost her confidence in the Southern Sea.

ZhiNing angrily opened the door, but was surprised to see Sihan standing at the doorway.

Sihan smiled happily at Zhining and explained, “Bing-er’s things fell out of the door, I picked them up for her.” She knew that there must be a reason why Zhining had stopped her and Bing’er from entering the yamen. She just didn’t think that South Sea would use her and Bing’er. She and Bing’er both thought that Nanhai was a good official who loved his people, but they didn’t expect him to be so despicable!

Sihan glared fiercely at Nanhai through the gap in the door, then turned and left.

ZhiNing followed behind Sihan and left the dining room.

“You don’t blame me for not telling you the truth, do you?” She was very afraid that Sihan would be angry with her again.

Sihan turned around and smiled at Zhining, asking back, “No, you’re doing this for our own good. Why would we be angry with you?” How could she not know that Zhining had put in so much effort and effort?

ZhiNing looked at Sihan who was walking in front of her, then asked hesitantly, “Bing’er, she …”

“Sihan softly cut off Zhining’s question.” Don’t worry, Bing’er doesn’t know about this. And I won’t tell her. ” She knew all of Zhining’s thoughts. Zhining was afraid that Bing’er would be sad in the future, so she didn’t want her son to know about it. She also had the same thought. They would never tell this to Bing’er.

“What are you talking about?” Bing’er looked at Sihan and Zhining with a serious face.

Sihan and Zhining looked at each other and smiled, then looked at Bing’er and said proudly, “I won’t tell you!”

The next day. Early morning.

General’s Estate.

In the large dining room, only Gu Ziming was left. Looking at the table full of dishes in front of him, only he could taste it. Gu Ziming put down the chopsticks in his hand and sighed slightly. He put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at the maidservants by his side with a cold expression. “Where is the old general?”

The young maid bowed towards Gu Ziming and respectfully replied, “Reporting to the young general, the old general is still sleeping inside.”

Gu Ziming raised his head to look at the sky outside, then frowned slightly. “Did you knock on the door to wake the old general?”

The young maid still knelt down and answered respectfully, “Yes, this servant knocked on the door a few times, but there was no sound from inside. Maybe it was because the old general had slept very late last night and was still sound asleep. Thus, this servant did not knock on the door again. ”

Gu Ziming glanced at the sumptuous dishes on the table, then stood up and left the banquet hall. He walked along the long corridor and only stopped when he arrived at the entrance of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.

He lightly knocked on the door and called out to the people inside. “Dad, it’s getting late. Let’s get up and have breakfast.”

However, there was no movement in the room.

Gu Ziming slightly frowned. His father, the old general, had been fighting in the battlefield all his life and had always slept lightly. If anything happened at all, he would wake up.

He tried knocking on the door again with more strength, “Dad, get up, it’s time for breakfast.”

It was still very quiet inside, without the slightest movement.

Gu Ziming was deeply puzzled. He forcefully pushed the door, but didn’t open it.

The door was locked from the inside!

Gu Ziming’s heart couldn’t help but thump. The old general didn’t lock the door when he slept. He once again forcefully pushed the door, but he still didn’t push it open. He lifted his foot and kicked the door open. He entered the room and saw that the blood had dried all over the floor. Looking at the blood, he saw that the old general was lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

Gu Ziming’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the old general lying on the bed covered in blood. His heart seemed to have been squeezed by something, causing his body to unsteady. He retreated a few steps, then leaned against the door and stabilized himself.

When the maidservant behind Gu Ziming saw this scene, her slim body immediately fell to the ground. She screamed out in fear, “Ah!”

The young maid’s miserable shrieks caused the rest of the people in the general’s mansion to rush to the Skysplit Pavilion. When they saw the old general’s bloody corpse lying on the bed, they were extremely shocked.

Master Qi and Cheng Guan arrived quickly. Behind them was another middle-aged man in coroner’s uniform.

When Lord Qi entered the room, Gu Ziming was still leaning on the door with a pale face. He looked at the old general, who had died a long time ago, with an expression of disbelief.

Seeing Gu Ziming’s expression, Lord Qi couldn’t help but slightly sigh, then walked up to Gu Ziming and cupped his fists as he consoled him, “Young General, I’m sorry for the trouble.”

Gu Ziming forced himself to stand up straight and suppress the grief in his heart. “Thank you, Sir Qi.” Lord Qi looked solemnly at Gu Ziming, promising solemnly, “Young General, please be at ease. This official will definitely investigate the cause of the old general’s death.” After finishing his sentence, Lord Qi turned around and looked at the constables and the two coroners before him. He ordered, “Carefully inspect every corner of the room. Do not miss a single lead.”

“Yes, milord.”

Examiner Cheng looked at the coroner standing next to him. He extended his hand and gestured, “Examiner Zhang, please enter.” He had made the wrong judgement regarding the previous case. Therefore, the imperial government had sent out a senior coroner to examine the corpse with him, so as to avoid wrongly accusing the good people again.
