The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people
Chapter 560 Weighing the pros and cons
Liang Chongyue walked around the burnt-out house and finally came to a charred corpse. It had been burning all night and the corpse looked like it would be blown away by the wind if touched. I wonder what my scumbag father was thinking when he saw this scene.
Liang Chongyue approached slowly. Through the corpse, he could vaguely make out Liang Chongzhen's handsome and tall appearance when he was alive. However, now he had become a speechless charcoal corpse. Liang Chongyue did not feel sorry for him. He dared to attack Minglang, and this was his own fault.
After walking around the house that was about to collapse, Liang Chongyue left. The house was completely burned, and even the bullet holes on the foreheads of the two bodies could not be seen clearly.
"What was the outcome of the Dali Temple?"
Liang Chongyue came out of the house with a faint smell of charcoal on his body. Upon hearing this, the Dali Temple Minister immediately stepped forward and handed over the results that had just come out this morning, as well as the coroner's autopsy report.
Liang Chongyue found a relatively clean place to sit down and looked through the results of the Dali Temple. The fire last night broke out suddenly and the fire was huge. With the help of the wind, the northern half of the entire Dugu family's old house was almost burned out. Some clues could still be found in the pile of ashes. The Dali Temple was not simple.
Liang Chongyue looked through the coroner's autopsy report and saw that it said that the patient choked to death with smoke and fell into a coma before being burned to death. He silently put all the things back into the arms of the Dali Temple Minister.
"The Ministry of Justice will be here soon. Although the Third Prince is imprisoned here, Father has never restricted his freedom of movement within the mansion. All servants in the mansion will be taken to the Ministry of Justice for questioning."
The Dali Temple Minister was waiting beside His Highness with the results and files that had just been released this morning in his hands. Upon hearing His Highness's words, he agreed reluctantly.
I thought that as the New Year was approaching, they could have a good rest and have a happy New Year, but I never expected to encounter such a big event before the New Year. I think this New Year will not be a comfortable one.
Liang Chongyue walked around the Dugu family's old house. The Dali Temple was no pushover. Anything questionable had been taken under their control. After a round, Liang Chongyue didn't gain much.
"Your Highness, it's almost time for lunch. Would you like to stay for dinner?"
The Minister of Justice had just handed over the task at hand to the Minister of Justice. He felt hungry and looked up at the time. He was surprised to find that it was already time for dinner.
Although the Dugu family's old house is not too far from the capital, the fire last night was unusual and the cause of the fire has not been found yet. They cannot leave without permission. If any problems arise during this period and His Majesty blames them, they will not be able to bear it even if they have eight heads.
Liang Chongyue glanced at the people not far away who were already setting up pots and washing vegetables, calculated the time and said:
"You won't be able to eat happily even if I'm here, so go ahead and eat."
After saying this, Liang Chongyue turned around and was about to leave when the Minister of Justice suddenly appeared and blocked Liang Chongyue's way.
"I pay my respects to Her Royal Highness. I have made a significant discovery. Please move aside."
The Minister of Justice had a serious expression on his face, and Liang Chongyue's expression also became serious. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court saw that something was not right and wanted to go along with them, but was repelled by a look from the Minister of Justice.
"Leave this to me. I will take my leave now."
The Dali Temple Minister silently retreated and left the place where he had just stood. Liang Chongyue followed the Minister of Justice towards the so-called major discovery.
They returned to the courtyard where Liang Chongzhen lived before his death, but the Minister of Justice did not take Liang Chongyue to the house that was about to collapse, but turned to a big tree planted nearby.
This tree was the one where Liang Chongyue hid last night, and it was also from behind this tree that the soldiers guarding Liang Chongzhen were shot and killed.
Now the tree has been burned beyond recognition, and the trunk will carbonize with a slight touch. Liang Chongyue doesn't understand why the Minister of Justice brought her here.
"Your Highness, the tree is burning from the southeast, and the wind was blowing from the northwest last night."
After saying that, the Minister of Justice pointed to the part of the tree trunk that was burned the most severely. Liang Chongyue had an impression that after she killed someone, the gunpowder residue brought out by the bullet fell here. The tree must have been burning from the southeast, but because of those few grains of gunpowder, it burned faster than the northwest.
I didn't expect that even these small details were discovered by the Minister of Justice. It's a waste of his talent to be the Minister of Justice. He should also work part-time as the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple.
"Minister Zhang's words make sense, so what are your thoughts?"
Liang Chongyue didn't say much. The people sent today must have received orders from his scumbag father to find out the murderer who killed Liang Chongzhen.
But as long as one is a human being, he or she will have selfish desires. No matter how great the decree of the scumbag father is, a living person will never ruin his or her own future for a dead person.
Minister Zhang took three steps back, bowed to His Highness and said:
"I have investigated thoroughly. The fire last night started in the woodshed and spread all the way here. Someone in the house must have been restless. The most urgent task is to thoroughly interrogate the servants who managed to survive."
Minister Zhang made a big turn in these three sentences. No one who can sit in this position in the capital is simple.
As soon as the news of Prince Bao being poisoned came out, and the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice had not yet started their investigation, the Third Prince was burned to death in the old house of the Dugu family. If there was no connection, he would twist his head off and let Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess kick it like a ball.
His Majesty has announced to the world that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is the future ruler of Great Xia. He cannot ruin his own life and the future of his children for someone who should have died long ago.
"Then I'll have to trouble Minister Zhang. Once we find out who killed my third brother, you should understand my rules."
Liang Chongyue's rules for killing people and rewarding people were well-known in the capital. Everyone avoided the former, fearing that they would be even slightly affected.
The latter is envied by everyone, and they wish that their ancestors for three generations were servants of the Xiang family, just for the opportunity to enter the Princess's Mansion today. As long as the Princess is happy, there will be rewards galore.
"Yes, I understand. I will do my best."
Liang Chongyue nodded, turned around and left the Dugu family's old house, which had been burned to half.
Mounting her horse, she galloped through the bamboo forest outside Beijing. Liang Chongyue felt the small porcelain bottle in her arms, which she had found in the hand of Liang Chongzhen's charred corpse.
The porcelain bottle was produced by the system and could be confirmed with just a simple comparison. However, because Liang Chongzhen held it too tightly before his death, the coroner arrived too late and did not discover what was hidden in Liang Chongzhen's hand.
A small white jade porcelain vase, although not a big deal, but the scumbag father has already determined that she was the one who killed Liang Chongzhen. If the scumbag father sees this porcelain vase again, who knows what kind of trouble will arise.
