Chapter 214 King Ling was killed

The guests in the hall were laughing and sitting together eating and drinking. When they looked up, they saw the dazzling lanterns of various colors. When they nodded, they could see the delicious food. In their ears, the innocent and lovely laughter of the children came. Everyone felt that this moment was wonderful.

Extremely.

"General Xu, where did you buy this wine? How come I have never drunk it before?" Ever since he sat down at the table, Wu'an Marquis Jiang Cheng couldn't let go of the glass. The first thing he drank was the most famous fine wine in the capital.

The wine that was served next had a different taste. It was more mellow and spicy, with a long and fragrant aftertaste. He had never drunk this kind of wine before.

Xu Junze glanced in the direction of Lin Shuran, and then said to Wu'an Marquis Jiang Cheng: "This is the wine brewed by the Xu family wine shop, and it has not been sold outside yet!"

"Why is it not for sale? When I gave the New Year's gift, there was no such good wine. You are not deliberately hiding your secrets and are reluctant to give it to me?!" Marquis Wu'an looked angry and looked unhappy. He is very right.

He has a preference for wine, and when it comes to good wine, he can't handle it. Even though the imperial doctor told him many times that for the sake of his health, he should drink less, but he just couldn't listen.

Xu Junze picked up the jug and poured another glass of wine for Marquis Wu An himself, and then said in a calm voice: "The Marquis misunderstood, this wine was only brewed in the wine shop two days ago. If you want to drink it later, you can go to Xu's wine shop!"

When Marquis Wu An heard this, his anger turned into joy. He even patted Xu Junze on the shoulder vigorously and said with a smile: "You are still a sensible boy. From now on, Xu's wine shop will take care of my wine!"

Xu Junze has never been used to strangers approaching him, especially such intimate physical contact. However, he did not avoid Marquis Wu An, but accepted his strong palm. Although this feeling was unfamiliar and embarrassing, he did not

I feel disgusted.

"Wu'an Marquis' Mansion has it, and our Zhenguo Duke's Mansion must have it too!" Zhenguo Duke Lei Yi also said with a smile. Xu Junze nodded, naturally they all have it.

After eating and drinking, everyone played a special program of the Lantern Festival - guessing lantern riddles. Anyone who guessed correctly could take away a lantern and a gift prepared by the General's Mansion.

"A piece of incense can be drilled into the ground. It will not break when you bend it. Hit an animal. What is it?" Wen Junqing, the young master of the Wen family, lowered his head and thought hard, but unexpectedly, Mr. Pei on the side pulled off the riddle and blurted out,

"What's so rare about this? It's just an earth dragon!"

The cheerful atmosphere came to an abrupt end, and everyone was stunned. Duke Lei Yi, Marquis of Wu'an Jiang Cheng and Xu Junze, and Lei Zhanpeng all hurried out of the General's Mansion. King Ling was suddenly killed. This matter was not trivial. They

We must go quickly to see what's going on.

The originally bustling capital city suddenly fell silent. The joy of the festival was washed away by the death of King Ling and turned into uneasiness. There were many soldiers on the street. The people still didn't know what had happened, but they all had a premonition that it was not a good thing.

Many people have gone home in a hurry. There is no good in being too busy these days. It is safer to stay at home.

Chunxi immediately said to the side: "Master Pei got the answer right, it's the Earth Dragon!" Then he handed a snack box to Mr. Pei. In addition to delicious food and fun things, both adults and children liked it.

By the time they finished cleaning up and went back to their room to rest, two hours had passed, but there was no news of Xu Junze's return. Lin Shuran had no intention of falling asleep. Why was King Ling killed at this time? Seeing that the cases of the Fang family and the Ren family were about to

In order to find out the clues, I am afraid that many clues will be lost after his death.

Princess Jiang Yue was also escorted back to the palace by the royal guards. Uncle Wu decided to stay at the General's Mansion tonight. He didn't know who assassinated King Ling yet. He was worried about the safety of Lin Shuran and the children in the mansion, so it was safe to stay with him as a caregiver.

some.

Xu Junze stayed away all night, and Lin Shuran almost stayed up all night. She was wondering who killed King Ling? Are these people related to the case of the Ren family back then? What secrets were hidden in King Ling's death? She thought about it.

One night, I imagined countless possibilities, but still didn't have a clear answer.

Not long after, Mei, who had been out searching for information, came back and told Lin Shuran that the assassins of King Ling were a group of people with high martial arts skills. At that time, King Ling was alone in the palace, and these assassins broke into the palace and killed him. Now the Ministry of Punishments and Longjia Guards

We are working together to hunt down this gang of assassins, but so far no trace of the assassins has been found.

Xu Minghan also stayed up all night. He had long believed that King Ling was behind the tragedy of the Ren family. The missing gold and silver treasures of the Ren family must have been embezzled by King Ling. Even the Fang family's

The case was also caused by King Ling's deliberate slander, but now that King Ling died suddenly, it was as if the thread that had been clearly pulled out and sorted was suddenly messed up again, and he became anxious.

Next, everyone happily guessed lantern riddles together, and the sound of fireworks and firecrackers began to sound in the distance. The capital city must be lively and prosperous at this moment, and people are immersed in the joy of the Lantern Festival.

"I guessed it too, but I'm just not as quick with his hands as he is with his mouth!" Xu Mingxuan said angrily from the side. Mr. Pei scanned the circle proudly. He wanted to win a few more gifts tonight.

The guests all went home, and the young masters of the Xu family lost interest. They went back to their rooms to wash up and then went to bed to rest. At this time, they couldn't cause trouble to Lin Shuran and Xu Junze, so it didn't matter if they didn't play for a while.

Neither Yang nor Wen could stay in the General's Mansion with peace of mind, so Lin Shuran ordered her servants to escort them back to the mansion safely. After that, all the guests in the mansion also said goodbye and left one by one. Everyone felt sad because of the news that King Ling was suddenly killed.

I feel uneasy, not knowing what will happen in the capital.

Just when Lin Shuran also asked the servants in the mansion to start setting off fireworks, several groups of people suddenly came outside the door, all coming to inform the Duke of Zhen, Wu Anhou and Xu Junze that Prince Ling had just been killed.

It was impossible for Prince Ling to die for no reason just when the case was about to be investigated. Xu Minghan couldn't sit still at home anymore. He wanted to go out to find out more information. He also wanted to know what step Xiao Chen had reached in the investigation!

"Madam, the third young master is out!" Lingqin said to Lin Shuran after she got up.

"Let Han Ying keep an eye on him, don't let anything happen to him!" Although Xu Junze also sent secret guards to follow Xu Minghan, Lin Shuran was still worried, and asked Han Ying to watch Xu Minghan. This kid had done a lot of secrets in order to investigate the Ren family's case.

Trying to think too hard might lead to him overdoing it, so it seemed like I had to find an opportunity to have a good chat with him.

When Xu Minghan returned to the house after a day out at night, his servants took him directly to Xu Junze's study. When he walked in, he found that Lin Shuran was also there.

Xu Minghan first saluted them and said hello, then looked at Xu Junze and asked, "When did father return home? Has the assassin who killed King Ling been caught? Why did they want to assassinate King Ling?"
