A fire broke out in a family's home at night, and all the family members were burned to death.

After the local authorities investigated, they closed the case as an accidental fire, and the incident passed without causing much commotion.

But not long after the incident, a word "injustice" written in blood suddenly appeared on the broken wall of that family's house. There were also occasional noises at night, and the neighbors thought it was the work of an innocent ghost.

The relatives of that family went to the government and believed that the fire was not an accident but man-made. They requested the government to conduct a thorough investigation and redress the injustice.

But the officials said they were making trouble, beat them with a stick, and had the dilapidated house demolished. They also forbade anyone to talk nonsense again.

This case is of course true.

Not only that, Luo Zheng also knew that the reason why that family suffered this disaster was that someone had taken a fancy to the twins in their family.

The twins were very pretty, with red lips and white teeth, but because they were only twelve and still childish, it was difficult to tell whether they were male or female.

Both of them are very smart and have good academic performance.

Unfortunately, before they grew up and took the imperial examination to become officials, this beauty brought disaster to their entire family.

When Luo Zheng found out about this, the family had already suffered.

He then had someone write a large word "injustice" in blood, and deliberately made a noise to spread the news that the wronged spirit was causing trouble.

Now, these arrangements are finally coming in handy.

After hearing this, Emperor Taihe frowned in displeasure: "Is there such a thing?"

Luo Zheng said calmly, "Although the story of wronged ghosts haunting the place does seem absurd, the fact that the government is unwilling to investigate and has a rude attitude is indeed a bit strange.

I asked someone to secretly investigate and found out that the neighbors near that family were all very secretive about this matter, as if they had been bullied.

So I think this is a suspicious matter. Although that family has only a small fortune, they have a pair of beautiful twin boys.

He stopped talking here.

However, Emperor Taihe was not an ignorant young man. As soon as he heard his words, he understood the reason why the family had an accident.

As the saying goes, "to possess a treasure is to be punished." A wealthy family with a pair of beautiful twin boys is indeed likely to attract covetousness, enough to drive some heartless people to commit the crime of annihilating the entire family.

and……

When Emperor Taihe thought of the ugly things Yang Shu had done, it was hard for him not to think too much.

He didn't believe that the great King Zhou would be unaware of what his daughter had done.

If King Zhou himself was a clean person, how could he allow his daughter to do whatever she wanted?

The murderer must be of high status to have the local authorities help cover up the crime.

That pair of beautiful twin boys might have ended up in Prince Zhou’s palace!

Emperor Taihe pondered for a long time, then suddenly asked, "I intend to appoint you as an imperial envoy to go to the Zhou King's fiefdom to thoroughly investigate the unjust case. Do you dare to go?"

Luo Zheng was overjoyed and immediately knelt to accept the order: "Your Majesty is willing to entrust such an important task to me, so I will naturally fulfill my duty! I will not refuse even if it means death!"

Emperor Taihe looked at him with satisfaction: "Since you are willing to take on this mission, I will give you this important task! However, since you have just returned, you can rest for a few days before setting off again."

Luo Zheng quickly expressed his gratitude: "Your Majesty, I thank you for your consideration!"

Emperor Taihe smiled and said, "Alright, go and pay your respects to the Imperial Concubine. She is very worried about you."

Only then did Luo Zheng take his leave.

After he left, Emperor Taihe left the Chief Secretary of Prince Zhou's Palace alone for a full hour before summoning him.

The chief historian of the Zhou palace was named Li Shan. He was smart and cautious, and was the confidant of the Zhou king, so the Zhou king entrusted him with such an important task.

Even after being left out for over an hour, he never showed any dissatisfaction.

When he saw Emperor Taihe, he bowed respectfully to him, handed King Zhou's letter of apology and apology with both hands, and spoke eloquently about King Zhou.

If Emperor Taihe had not met Luo Zheng first and heard about the tragedy, he would have believed his words.
