The prince is very cruel

"When someone comes, you can interrogate me in court. I won't interrupt."

"But please show some mercy, Master Guan."

Guan Ning nodded and smiled: "Don't worry."

"Sir Li, I am only investigating the case for His Majesty. I don't care about anything else, and I won't gossip about it."

Li Yunzong felt relieved after hearing this.

Although it's a small matter, I'm still afraid of being taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives.

"By the way, Lord Guan, I dare to ask what exactly you want to investigate?" Li Yunzong was curious, but he waved his hand sensibly, asking everyone around him to step back.

Li Yunzong was a member of the royal family, so Guan Ning naturally didn't dare to believe him completely. He just said perfunctorily, "It's just some small things."

"You know the recent corruption scandal has been rampant. His Majesty is furious and wants to kill a few of them to establish his authority."

It seemed like he said something, but in fact he said nothing. Li Yunzong was not angry and did not ask any further questions.

"Ok."

"I believe that the clan office is clean and there is absolutely no chance of any problems."

Guan Ning smiled noncommittally, neither denying nor speaking.

After a short while, the official from the Ministry of Clan Affairs who was sent to look for someone came back hurriedly, out of breath, and rushed into the lobby.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!"

“Oh no, this is bad!!”

Guan Ning, who was drinking tea, suddenly raised his head.

"What's wrong?"

"You are so flustered, how can you behave so properly? Speak properly!" Li Yunzong shouted loudly, majestically and solemnly.

boom!

The man knelt down.

"Master Shaoqing, Master Park, Master Park...he's dead!"

boom!

As soon as these words were spoken, the clan affairs office was shaken!

"What did you say?" There were exclamations everywhere, and Li Yunzong widened his eyes.

Guan Ning's brows were twisted into a shape of a "川" (Chuan).

The visitor cried out sadly, "Sir Shaoqing, it's absolutely true! He died in the government office, hanged himself. I just went to look for him..."

Whoosh... Guan Ning rushed out without saying a word.

Following closely behind were Yuwen Hongdu and others. Li Yunzong's brows were furrowed into a frown, and his face looked extremely ugly. He committed suicide as soon as there was a sign of trouble. Could it be that someone in the clan office was really involved in the corruption case?

"go!"

"Hurry up and follow!"

Li Yunzong picked up his robe and quickly chased after him.

A huge crowd of people headed towards the horse prison office.

When Guan Ning arrived here, there was no one in the government office and the first scene had not been destroyed. He breathed a sigh of relief!

A large group of people were chasing after him.

"Master Guan!"

"stop!"

"Everyone, stay away from the government office. Stand still and don't move!" Guan Ning shouted with a serious expression.

His instinctive reaction was that this was not an ordinary suicide. After all, it was too coincidental. He didn't die earlier or later, but at this time. It looked like a murder to silence him.

Suddenly, everyone stopped.

Guan Ning walked into the office carefully step by step, observing any clues on the ground with every step, for fear of missing any details.

The details in Chen Tu Mansion had already been destroyed, and this time they could not be destroyed again.

Guan Ning walked into the government office, followed only by Yuwen Hongdu and Li Yunzong.

I saw a seven-foot-tall middle-aged man hanging on the beam of the main room, his limbs hanging down, toes pointing to the ground, his whole body weak, his face purple and blue, motionless, he was already dead.

"This!" Li Yunzong's face looked ugly. Even though he was well-mannered, he was still a little angry at this moment.

The Imperial Envoy had just arrived when someone committed suicide. If this got out, how would the Imperial Clan Bureau handle it? Where would he put his old face?

Guan Ning approached and touched his trouser leg with a finger. There was still a lot of residual warmth, so he couldn't have died long ago, maybe just now.

He quickly walked around and examined the body, but did not find any external injuries on it, not even a speck of dirt. The body was dressed very neatly, which indicated that the deceased had not fought or struggled with anyone before dying.

Yuwen Hongdu scanned the surroundings with his sharp eyes and said in a deep voice, "There are no signs of fighting around here."

“The doors and windows are also intact.”

"There's not even a trace of another person. The footprints at the door must have been left by the official who came looking for someone just now."

Guan Ning frowned.

What Yuwen Hongdu said was correct, he also observed these.

"What is this person's life like?" He looked at Li Yunzong.

Li Yunzong probably knew that the matter was serious, so he lost his previous composure and said, "This man's name is Pu Dang, the Horse Supervisor, and he is a fifth-rank official."
