Chapter 138 Stop Guessing

Wei time, Prince Yan's Palace.

Ye Yi reported to Chu Tiancheng what happened in the dense forest ten miles outside the imperial capital.

"Master, it happened early this morning. A carriage was blown up and many people were killed. The identities of the deceased are unknown."

Chu Tiancheng frowned slightly. This matter seemed very strange no matter how you looked at it.

Whether it's highway robbery or revenge killing, I've never heard of anyone using explosives.

At this time, Zhou Zihan came.

After he saluted Chu Tiancheng, he glanced at Yan Yi beside him and said, "I believe Your Majesty has heard about the explosion in the dense forest outside the city?"

Chu Tiancheng nodded, "Has the Ministry of War received the news?"

Zhou Zihan replied respectfully:

"Your Highness, this morning, the city defense soldiers outside the imperial capital were the first to arrive at the scene.

Because there were a large number of traces of gunpowder at the scene, they also reported it to the Ministry of War.

The Ministry of War immediately sent people to the scene to check.

According to the people who came back, judging from the situation at the scene, there should be multiple explosions at the same time, and the power of the explosions is much stronger than that of ordinary homemade artillery."

Chu Tiancheng hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What's the situation of the deceased?"

“The bodies of four men in black were found at the scene, and upon investigation, they were all dead soldiers whose origins could not be found.

Apart from the four assassins, there were no other bodies at the scene.

But strangely, there were some other fragments of clothing at the scene.

Based on the analysis of the clothing fragments, it looks like there are several more dead bodies whose origins are unknown.”

After Zhou Zihan finished talking about the deceased's situation, seeing that Chu Tiancheng didn't say anything, he continued:

“The carriage was just an ordinary carriage, it was hard to tell where it came from, there was no sign on it.

So the initial judgment is that someone left the city and was robbed by bandits."

Chu Tiancheng shook his head, "If there are assassins, it is definitely not to rob money, but to kill people."

After a pause, he suddenly asked, "You said that judging from the pieces of clothing, there are other dead people?"

"Yes, and there are many people." Zhou Zihan said affirmatively.

"The killer and the person being killed were killed together?" Yan Yi couldn't help but ask.

"It seems to be the case." Zhou Zihan replied.

At this time, Zhu Shijie, Zuo Qingyun and He Fugui walked in from outside.

Although the last few words were spoken in a low voice, they heard them clearly, and each of their faces was filled with surprise.

He Fugui couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is too weird, who wants to kill whom?"

Zuo Qingyun frowned, and suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind: "Could it be that someone deliberately set up a trap, while the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?"

Zhu Shijie's eyes lit up, "Yes, is there a mysterious person behind the scenes who wants to kill all the people in the carriage and the man in black?"

"Stop guessing." A beautiful female voice suddenly sounded, accompanied by a chuckle, interrupting the discussion of the crowd.

Qin Rubing walked in wearing a lavender dress, the hem of her skirt fluttering in the wind, making her look as elegant and otherworldly as a fairy descending from heaven.

Her big watery eyes sparkled with bright light, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

"Princess!" Everyone bowed.

"No need to be polite." Qin Rubing said with a smile.

Her eyes were clear and bright, as if they could see through people's hearts.

Everyone stood up and stood aside respectfully.

They were full of respect and curiosity for the princess, and every time they saw her, they were attracted by her temperament.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment at what the princess had just said, not knowing what to say in response.

Qin Rubing walked up to Chu Tiancheng, saluted in a formal manner, then looked around and said loudly:

"This princess did it."
