"Yes, if the soldiers from the Great Chu Posthouse are assassins, then the people from the City Defense Camp should be able to recognize them!"

Princess Changping reacted and a look of joy appeared on her face.

The assassination case has been going on for so long and the marriage proposal has been delayed, which makes her very uncomfortable and she wants to settle the matter as soon as possible.

It would be fine if there were no clues, but now that there are clues, of course she will find the murderer as soon as possible.

"no!"

Chu Feng narrowed his eyes, and a cold look flashed across his face: "Without any evidence, you rashly attacked my soldiers. What kind of thing is this?"

"Besides, His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor has also said personally that no action is allowed without evidence!"

"What you are doing is tantamount to violating the orders of His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor."

When these words were spoken, everyone in the hall was stunned.

Is the clue that we finally got going to be interrupted because of a word from the emperor?

On the Dragon Throne.

Ying Zheng frowned, looking hesitant.

After all, those were his own words. If he agreed to let the city defense battalion attack the Da Chu Posthouse now, it would be tantamount to slapping himself in the face.

But now that we have a clue, it’s impossible not to investigate, right?

If they miss the chance, in case Chu Feng is really the mastermind, he will definitely transfer all the assassins.

It will be more difficult to investigate then.

"This……"

Ying Zheng was unable to make a decision for a moment and could only look at Prime Minister Gan Long.

Gan Long stood up with a helpless look on his face: "Your Majesty, there is indeed no other extra evidence to prove that Chu Feng is the mastermind behind this."

Although it was not stated explicitly, the meaning was self-evident.

Ying Zheng understood and nodded, "What the Prime Minister said makes sense..."

"Your Majesty the Emperor of Qin!"

Chu Ning didn't wait for Ying Zheng to finish and interrupted, "I have other evidence."

"Oh? Really? Tell me about it!" Ying Zheng became interested.

If there is other evidence, then you don't have to worry about embarrassing yourself.

But Chu Feng didn't believe it at all, and sneered: "Chu Ning, you just want to put all the blame on me now."

"Do you think all the civil and military officials in the court are fools? Will they listen to you?"

Chu Kuang glared and said, "Why are you so anxious? Since Eighteenth Brother still has evidence, let him speak out."

Since it concerns the death of a prince, Chu Kuang naturally would not allow Chu Feng to stop Chu Ning.

"Even you believe him?"

Chu Feng stared at Chu Kuang and angrily asked, "Why don't you believe me, but believe this illegitimate son?"

"He is paving the way for the crown prince's enthronement. He wants to get rid of all of our princes. Can't you see that?"

"He was the one who planned the death of my twelfth brother, and now he wants to frame me!"

"Think about it yourself. Is Chu Ning the biggest beneficiary of the death of the twelfth brother?"

Chu Kuang was not good at speaking, and his face changed when he heard that.

But Chu Ning suddenly chuckled: "The biggest beneficiary? Why do you keep emphasizing this point?"

"Actually, you are the biggest beneficiary, right? Twelve Brother is dead, and you can use this to put the blame on me."

"If you can prove that I am the murderer, you may become the crown prince, right? After all, according to the order of seniority, it will be your turn."

As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers in the hall reacted.

"Yes, if Chu Ning dies, the position of the Crown Prince of Great Chu will be vacant again."

"Yes, if I were Chu Feng, I would definitely want to kill Chu Ning!"

"No wonder after the twelfth prince was attacked, it was Chu Ning's turn next. It turned out to be for the position of crown prince."

"If we really talk from the perspective of the vested interests, then Chu Feng is indeed the one who has taken advantage."

Chu Feng's face darkened at the words of the ministers. He stared at Chu Ning and said, "Nonsense! All this is just your speculation!"

"is it?"

Chu Ning said calmly: "Since you mentioned speculation, then I will speculate for you from beginning to end.

Bai Zong invited you and Brother Twelve to a banquet that night. Your whereabouts were only known to the few people who attended the banquet. It was impossible for me and Brother Thirteen to know, right?"

Chu Feng sneered and said nothing.

Chu Ning shook his head, looked at Bai Zong, and asked, "So the mastermind behind this can only be one of those who attended the banquet that night. Marquis Songyuan will not deny this, right?"

Bai Zong frowned, pondered for a moment, glanced at Ying Zheng, and when he saw that the other party didn't say anything, he nodded and said:

"My invitation is indeed top secret. Since they are the only ones who know about it, the twelfth prince was attacked, so someone must have ambushed him in advance. It's not an exaggeration to say that the murderer is among them."

There is no need to argue with Chu Ning at this time.

After all, Chu Ning was dealing with Chu Feng, and he hoped that the two of them would fall out.

"Just admit it!"

Chu Ning looked around and said calmly: "Think about it, everyone, who knows the whereabouts of the twelfth brother and can set up an ambush in advance?"

The index finger of his right hand pointed at Chu Feng: "Of course it's my eleventh brother, because the two of them are together!"

"If the situation was as urgent as he said, why was only the twelfth brother killed, but he happened to be rescued by the people from the city defense camp?"

"Logically, the two of them are together. They should die together and live together. How could one die and the other live?"

With every word, Chu Feng's face became darker.

Chu Ning's words were like a knife, piercing into his body inch by inch!

But this is not over yet.

Chu Ning showed no signs of stopping.

"In fact, your real purpose in killing Brother Twelve is not to do so. You just want to lure me out of the inn!"

Chu Ning's face darkened: "Because you know that you can't kill me in the inn."

"Only when I leave the posthouse will you have a chance to kill me."

"And only when the news of my twelfth brother's murder arrives, will I be able to leave the posthouse, so you should set up an ambush on the road outside the posthouse in advance."

"But unfortunately, you underestimated the strength of Brother Thirteen and General Zhao Yu, which allowed me to escape."

"Although I did not doubt you at the beginning, as the envoys fought against each other, I gradually understood one thing."

"They all wanted to find the murderer, but you used your injury as an excuse to recuperate in the palace, which allowed you to perfectly avoid the search."

"I have to say that your methods are indeed brilliant. If you hadn't revealed your true colors in the end, I really wouldn't have suspected you."

After saying this, Chu Feng suddenly changed his expression to be relaxed: "Hints? I want to hear where the flaws were revealed."

Chu Ning said calmly: "At that time, this king deliberately pretended to be seriously injured, but during this period, you persuaded General Zhao Yu to capture Brother Thirteen!"

"Why do you think General Zhao Yu listened to you?"

Chu Feng was shocked, then he realized that Zhao Yu must have followed Chu Ning's arrangements at that time.

He deliberately followed his orders and fought against Chu Kuang in order to make him become careless!

At this moment, Chu Kuang finally understood: "So that's how it is. I was wondering why General Zhao would attack me for no reason. It turns out that you, my eighteenth brother, arranged this in advance!"

Chu Ning nodded and smiled, "Yes, that's just for Brother Eleven to see."

"Since then, I have been 50% sure that he is the mastermind behind this!"

Princess Changping was puzzled by this statement: "Why is there only a 50% certainty? Where does the other 50% certainty come from?"
