"Well, this month, such corpses have been found one after another, and there have been three...... But because the body had been soaked for too long, there was no way to verify who did it. ”

Cheng Fenglou's brows furrowed, he could kill a fly.

"The time of the crime is so neat, and the body is so complete...... It can't all be drowned, right? ”

Wen Ranran was a little skeptical.

"No, after investigation, these people's neck bones are all broken, the strength is similar, and there is no trace of struggle, they are all strangled to death by one blow......"

Cheng Fenglou is also a little big.

Strangled?

Wen Ranran's eyelids jumped, and she glanced at Xia Lishuang.

The method of killing is also so uniform?

Serial homicides?

"Or ...... Let's go out of town again? Wen Ranran said.

Since it was found in the moat, and the river was at high tide, there should be some clues.

"It's useless...... The moat is introduced from the Qianjiang River digging canal, and when the tide rises in autumn, the moat will be closed in advance, and these people found it before the gate, if there are others, I am afraid they have been washed away by the Qianjiang water. ”

There was a bit of helplessness in Cheng Fenglou's tone.

Wen Ranran sighed and said no more.

At this point, the clues were cut off, and the case could not be investigated, so I had to go back to the house.

As soon as he stepped into the door, Qiu He handed over a post, which was sent by the people around Queen Tao, asking Wen Ranran to participate in the chrysanthemum banquet.

Wen Ranran's body shook.

Her intuition told her that this banquet was not about flowers, but about her......

……

East Palace.

"Bang-" The sound of the teacup shattering was particularly evident in the huge palace.

The prince clenched his fists fiercely, and under his feet were a fragmented fragment of objects.

"Your Highness...... Your Highness doesn't have to worry, Your Majesty may just be angry for a while, Your Highness, as the crown prince, will definitely ascend the throne in the future, why bother to make the emperor unhappy for these things!? ”

Han Chun looked at the angry prince and sighed a little.

"I'm afraid my father can't hold back for a long time and wants to make Lao Qi the crown prince, right?! It's just the son of a slut who has lost his country, and he deserves to fight with me? ”

The prince's eyes were scarlet, and every word was full of resentment.

Li Yuan stood aside, his face sleek and sleek.

"According to the old minister, His Highness still needs to make plans in advance. His Royal Highness is the crown prince, even if it is ...... Why not? ”

Han Chun on the side frowned and looked at Li Yuan disapprovingly, "Father and son, monarchs and ministers are Gangchang, Your Highness can't do such a rebellious thing!" ”

"But now...... The concubine has power, as courtiers, how can we watch His Highness suffer such grievances?! ”

"That's it! Shut up! ”

The prince irritated the two of them.

"Master Li...... I heard that you have a nephew, and now he is also a four-rank tiger general? ”

Li Yuan nodded yes.

"Very good......

A trace of satisfaction flashed in the prince's eyes, and he whispered a few words to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan nodded.

The two of them came out of the East Palace, and Li Yuan straightened up, as if he was proud.

The two of them have always been at odds, and they have been under the crown prince for so many years, and they are also-for-tat, this time let Li Yuan steal the limelight, Han Chun's heart will naturally not be satisfied.

Li Yuan...... I repeat, you're ...... Instigating rebellion! ”

Han Chun looked at Li Yuan coldly, and the last four words were almost inaudible.

Li Yuan just smiled coldly.

"I'm just doing my duty as a courtier!"

……

Soon, the day came to the day of the chrysanthemum feast.

Wen Ranran sat beside Queen Tao, did not dare to slack off, and peeled the crab diligently.

Sitting down, it was a group of warblers in the harem.

Wen Ranran's heart twitched, but a smile appeared on her face.

"Queen Mother, please use it slowly!"

Empress Tao looked at Wen Ranran and showed a kind smile.

"The seventh child has been very busy recently, if you are bored in the house, you will come to the queen mother more often!"

After saying this, he also helped Wen Ranran tidy up her slightly wrinkled dress.

Wen Ran suddenly felt a chill behind her.

Isn't it too gracious?
