The lady of Chongxi has supernatural powers and is favored by the powerful official

imperial study room

From the afternoon till midnight, no one has come up with a solution.

There seemed to be no clues at all about the Shu family's extermination.

Regardless of whether one knows Master Shu or not, or whether one has had close contact with Master Shu, it is difficult to guess who Master Shu would offend to the point of exterminating his entire family.

Because Shu Taifu was conscientious and careful in his official duties, but he was honest in his conduct.

When his daughter entered the Third Prince's Palace, he immediately resigned from his official position.

The emperor at that time did not want him to resign. If he had stayed in the court, his two sons might have become high-ranking officials.

Because Mr. Shu Da and Mr. Shu Er both studied hard and passed the imperial examinations.

There are four Jinshi in one family.

Old Master Shu, two gentlemen, and the eldest son of the Shu family. However, after they passed the imperial examination, they all chose to teach in the academy.

Moreover, the Shu family has a son who is studying in the Imperial Academy. I heard that he is also very knowledgeable and is preparing for the next exam.

But now, there is no news of that person.

The young emperor supported his forehead with his hand and looked at the people arguing below.

Some said that we should first contact people in the underworld, because the perpetrators were said to be from the underworld.

Snakes have their own ways, and rats have their own ways. We still have to find out who hired them to kill people through the underworld.

Some said that since the people from the underworld came to the capital city on a large scale to kill people, it was impossible for the city guards not to know about it. Therefore, we should find out who let them in. This would provide a clue.

But Nangong Yu said that he participated in a fierce battle that night. Everyone knew that his bodyguard Qingyi was a secret guard, and his martial arts skills were well-known in the capital. But he was seriously injured last night and is still unconscious.

Moreover, he was also injured last night, and fought with those people himself:

"I'm not very good at martial arts, I can only keep fit, but I know the level of our Royal Guards. The group of people last night had very high martial arts skills. Two of my guards died, one was seriously injured, and my two secret guards were both seriously injured."

"In the end, it was because Commander He came with his men, and they heard the sound of horse hooves, which scared the people away. Otherwise, I might not be standing here today."

Commander He paused and said:

"Yes, the news we received was also from Lord Nangong. But I want to know why Madam Gu was also present at the scene."

Yes, you all said that those people are very skilled in martial arts, but Madam Gu is a weak woman, how come she is still at the scene?

Nangong Yu's face didn't look good, he looked at Lord He coldly:

"Master He, we explained last night at the Shu Mansion why my wife was also here. But if you bring it up again, I'll tell everyone again."

"Everyone knows that when our family went to the temple to fulfill a vow, we happened to save Shu Wenji, the young master of the Shu family."

The adults in this room are all important officials, and they have also heard about this matter.

It is also said that something happened to the Shu family last night. The youngest and second young masters were missing, alive or dead. They might have been kidnapped.

Nangong Yu continued:

"When the Shu family came to my house to thank us, Mrs. Shu mentioned that they didn't know why someone wanted to harm their family members, and they were all scholars, so they wanted to do some investigation but didn't know where to start."

"I mentioned this to the Emperor and Lord Shen. Later, the Emperor asked Lord Shen and I to arrange a few people to keep an eye on the Shu family. Since Wen Ji has been rescued, the bad guys may still do bad things."

"In addition to being the late emperor's tutor, Old Master Shu also taught the emperor and me. We still respect the Shu family. So, Lord Shen and I arranged a few people to investigate around the Shu family to see if there is anything unusual."

"Originally, we planned to have them guard the house for a month, but unexpectedly, at midnight last night, when I was getting ready to go to bed, I received a message saying that many men in black were heading to the Shu family."

"As soon as I received the news, I sent a message to the palace and also to Lord Shen. At the same time, I took my guards and secret guards and went to the Shu family first."

"It was just that in the alley behind the Shu family that we encountered people blocking the way, and then we fought there until Commander He arrived."

Before Commander He came, my wife was feeling uneasy at home. She told the maid that she felt something was going to happen to me, so she took the two maids and quietly slipped out through the back door. You can check this matter. We haven't been home since we left."

"The two girls beside my wife were originally the secret guards I gave her, so there is absolutely no problem for them to protect my wife. Lord He, when they arrived, those people were just about to leave, and Commander He's people also arrived at the right time."

When Prince Ning heard this, he clasped his fist towards Nangong Yu as a token of gratitude.

Prince Ning looked at Commander He and said:

"Your Majesty, I have another question. Commander He, Lord Nangong, and Madam Gu found my grandfather together. Madam Gu studied medicine with Old Lady Yang and knew that my grandfather was not dead. She requested it, but Commander He refused."

Commander He refused to comply:

"I didn't say you can't save him. I saw that Master Shu was nailed to the chair with a sword through his chest. I was afraid that there was no way to save him. So I said if you can't save him, don't do anything. Why don't you let Master Shu say a few words to see who the man in black is."

Nangong Yu sneered:

"Tell me, if a killer were in front of you, would you be able to recognize who he is? Ask Master Shu this question? If you ask him which article is on which page of which book, he will know it immediately. How many killers in the martial arts world do you recognize?"

Uh……

The question is, even if you recognize him, you can't say it, because no one recognizes the killer anyway.

Commander He knelt down and said:

"Your Majesty, it's not that I didn't want to save the Grand Tutor. He was old and seriously injured. The situation was very urgent. If we didn't get some clues, wouldn't the Shu family die with regrets?"

Nangong Yu snorted and said:

"Indeed, the Master was seriously injured at the time. A sword pierced through him and was nailed to the back of the chair. My wife felt his pulse and confirmed that the sword had not injured his heart, so she saved him."

The Minister of War, Lord Chen, was surprised:

"You didn't get hurt by passing through here?"

He was born a military commander, so he knew where to strike the enemy with his sword. But it was rare for a sword to pierce the left chest without killing the enemy.

Nangong Yu said softly:

"Few people know that Master Shu has dextrocardia. His heart is on the right side."

Everyone suddenly realized. The emperor also said affirmatively:

"I know about this, too. When we were studying together, Old Doctor Yang mentioned this to the Master while he was checking his pulse. We were there at the time."
