In a study, Lei Luo was holding a few books with a puzzled expression.

Just now, Lu Linglong flipped through the things in his hand, most of the records on these books were the running accounts of the Guogong Mansion, and there was nothing that people cared about.

"Most of these books are more than a year old, and the records of the most recent time period have all disappeared, apparently disposed of," he analyzed as he put the book in his hand.

Unexpectedly, the murderer was quite cautious, and even checked all the books in the study, and disposed of some of the books that had been written down recently that might reveal information.

Beside him, the little girl Wenxiu was sitting on a chair, looking at a book describing the geographical advantages of Dongyue with relish.

Opposite him, Lu Linglong was also sitting quietly at the desk, also holding a book in her hand.

There are more than a dozen books on the desk, and she keeps looking at them, she is really well-read, ten lines at a glance.

After more than an hour like this, when Lei Luo was looking at a book that recorded the history of the construction of the royal city, Lu Linglong was informed, maybe he had made a discovery.

"Childe, I found that the information of the current King Zhao and several princes is recorded here," Lu Linglong said slowly, pointing to a few books.

Hearing her words, Lei Luo was also a little surprised, King Zhao was the ruler of the mortal world of the Dongyue Kingdom, and it was not strange that he and several sons were recorded in the books.

"Tell me what's strange," Lei Luo wondered.

As he spoke, Lu Linglong pointed to one place and said some information, and then pointed to another place and said some questions, and explained for half an hour.

After listening, Lei Luo began to think about it, because Lu Linglong's explanation was quite detailed.

Summarizing this information, and then going through it in his mind, it was obvious that he felt that these things had some connection with the murder case in the Guogong Mansion.

King Zhao is the person in charge of the city of the king of Dongyue, and he is also the puppet emperor supported by the five sects of the Dongyue Kingdom.

If you want to talk about power, it is naturally the largest in the ordinary world of Dongyue Kingdom, and it can be described as the highest point of royal power in this place.

However, from the records of these books, this King Zhao has been obsessed with some magic and Taoism since a few years ago, and I don't know if it is for the ethereal immortality or for what.

In these days when King Zhao was obsessed with magic, the government of Dongyue Kingdom was presided over by the Prime Minister's Office, and King Zhao only occasionally appeared to participate in the court politics.

This is a bit strange, after all, his power is the largest in Dongyue, but he actually gave power to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he did not participate in the government politics, which is really a bit unreasonable.

What surprised Lei Luo even more was that just a few years ago, a large number of capable people were recruited in the imperial court, and the guards in the royal city were strengthened, and some warriors were appointed as military attachés in the royal city.

The immortal cultivation world of Dongyue Kingdom also seems to know about this, but these martial artists are all ordinary people, and there is no big problem for immortal cultivators, so they don't care about these things.

Most of the Praetorian Guards guarding the royal city now are from warriors, and these warriors are not unknowns, and some of them are famous grandmasters in the rivers and lakes of Dongyue Kingdom.

However, this incident itself reveals a hint of strangeness, why the Praetorian Guards guarding the royal power actually need Jianghu warriors to serve as soldiers, instead of military personnel.

One piece of information that caught Relo's attention in particular was that the Praetorian Guard had four commanders.

These four people were unknown before, but they were able to overpower those warriors to become the four most powerful people in the Praetorian Guard, which is really not easy.

"The four commanders of the Praetorian Guard, Prison Dragon, Overlord Sword, Vulture and Iron Mountain, these four people didn't have any information before, but now they suddenly appeared here, I don't feel like these four people are from the Dongyue Kingdom!" Lei Luo said.

These four commanders were directly appointed by King Zhao, and they were also promoted by King Zhao himself, and it must be a little strange that the king of a country uses four unknown people so seriously.

Lei Luo didn't believe that King Zhao would really fancy the strength of the four people, so he appointed them as the four commanders of the Praetorian Guard in the royal city regardless of the world's eyes, and handed over the safety of the royal city to these four people.

Since King Zhao appointed the four commanders a few years ago, he has become obsessed with magic and ignores the government, and it is clear that these four people have a huge problem.

After King Zhao was obsessed with prescriptions, many people felt that Wang Shang knew that his limit was approaching, so he wanted to continue his life through this method, and more people naturally paid attention to a few sons.

Next, Lei Luo took the second book from Lu Linglong's hand, which recorded information about the several sons of King Zhao's knees.

King Zhao had three sons under his knees, and these three people had been planning to inherit the throne of King Zhao since a few years ago.

The eldest son, Zhao Wenyong, is the eldest son of King Zhao, aged twenty-five.

According to Confucianism, it is a matter of course for the eldest son to succeed to the throne, so this person has the greatest hope of inheriting the throne.

According to the books of the Guogong Mansion, this great prince still has some talents, but he is not a worldly person, and he is generous and good.

Although this person is not a wise person, he still has the basic ability to recognize and employ people, and as the eldest son, he participated in the government very early, and also went to the local government to make some political achievements.

Because of these resumes, this son was appreciated by the civil and military forces of the dynasty, and half of the courtiers supported this person to inherit the throne, and according to legend, the vulture, one of the four commanders, befriended this son.

"Judging from this information, this eldest son is obviously the most useless, and I feel like a straw bag!" Lei Luo pondered.

After all, the great prince does things but relies on the remnants of his father's generation, and most of those achievements are earned by status, which can be judged from the documents of the Guogong Mansion.

The third son, Zhao Wenrong, is twenty-one years old.

This son is good at literature, vassal elegance, erudition, and is excellent in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has been favored by many scholars, especially some officials born as scribes, and most of them also support him.

And this person is knowledgeable, quite talented, and this person is good at making friends with people of insight, famous in Dongyue, and has a high reputation in Shilin, which is naturally the political capital of the third son.

I heard that this third prince also likes to make friends with some capable people, and even one of the four major commanders, Badao, is also familiar with him, it seems that this person is quite scheming.

"I don't cultivate the official way, but I make friends with capable people, it seems that I know that I can't fight my eldest brother with the ability of officialdom, so I chose to go off the rails, it seems that this son is not weak!" Lei Luo speculated.

As for the three generations of virtuous people and good literature, he can pass by at a glance, and has no value.

The seventh son, Zhao Wenhua, is only fifteen years old.

It stands to reason that at this age, he has not been exposed to these court battles, but he is the most popular with King Zhao, and it is said that this son perfectly inherited the handsome face of King Zhao when he was young.

Some of King Zhao's sons usually can't see him, and only this son can meet King Zhao anytime and anywhere, which shows how favored he is, so a large part of the officials are attached to the youngest son.

"Well, this should be the real straw bag, I bet this kid is the biggest kid in the capital!"

As for the other children under King Zhao's knees, they are all women, and most of these princesses are used as tools for political marriages, married to some princes and nobles, and the heirs of ministers of the dynasty.

And these are the records in the Guogong Mansion, as for whether the Wen Guogong has recorded any information recently, that is, I don't know at all.

"There is a problem with the four commanders of the Praetorian Guard, if these three princes are concerned, it is the nature of mortals to fight for power and profit, and what throne they fight for has nothing to do with me!"

The Five Elements Sword Sect sent him here for a mission, but Wen Guogong was already dead, so he didn't know the next instructions, so it stands to reason that he should return to the sect to pay respects.

However, out of indifference to the sect, coupled with the instructions on the Blood Demon Order, Lei Luo thought that even if he told the sect, it was inevitable that he would have to fight with the people of the Demon Dao, and instead of bothering about it, it was better to start investigating now and strive to take some advantage.

Otherwise, when I go back to the sect and report this matter, it is estimated that I will not be able to escape the fate of continuing to be sent, and those high-level leaders have been discussing for ten days and half a month, wouldn't it be a waste of time.

"Since no clues have been found, and the four major commanders are in the royal city, it is better to follow the old way!" he said with a cold face.

After finishing speaking, he took Wenxiu's little girl, informed Lu Linglong, and then left the mansion and walked towards Nancheng District.
