Long Rui glanced at the Fourth Prince, whose face was dark, and said, "Fourth Prince, would you like to go over and take a look together?"
The Fourth Prince forced a smile and said, "Prince, please."
After speaking, he strode forward, cursing the steward a thousand tis in his heart, that damned servant, all these troubles were caused by him. Once the War Prince leaves, let’s see how to deal with him.
The dilapidated courtyard was filled with Governnt Soldiers.
Several soldiers were digging out a dense pile of corpses from a solitary well, so already rotting, filling the entire courtyard with the sll of corpses.
"Prince, look." Long Yi pointed at the pile of corpses in the courtyard and said, "These corpses are exactly the sa as those outside the village, all with their eyes gouged out by the killer. So, Prince, it can be confird that the sa murderer is responsible for these corpses and the ones outside the village."
Long Rui nodded and said to the County Magistrate beside him, "Did you hear that? Traces of the murderous demon have been found in the fourth prince’s mansion."
Lord County Magistrate wiped the sweat off his forehead, trembling all over. How unfortunate he was! Such a major incident happened so early in the morning.
The Fourth Prince saw that all the corpses had been exhud. His mind went blank, and his whole body felt a sudden chill. His face turned very unpleasant, with a subtle red fla appearing in his eyes, and his lips gradually changed from red to black.
Lin Kong, seeing this, stepped forward expressionlessly, casually placing a hand on the Fourth Prince’s shoulder, secretly transferring inner strength to him.
The Fourth Prince felt a warm energy flow into his body, which cald him significantly, and his eyes and lips gradually returned to their original color.
Long Rui turned his head to look at the pale-faced Fourth Prince and said, "Fourth Prince, your mansion has so many corpses. What do you think about that?"
The steward had just reported it, and Long Rui ca looking for him. The Fourth Prince knew he had no good intentions.
There was nothing to be done now, as all the corpses had been exhud.
The Fourth Prince steadied his mind and sincerely said to Long Rui, "Prince, you must thoroughly investigate on behalf of our Fourth Prince to find out which murderous killer is so heinous as to murder so many people in our mansion."
Long Rui glanced at him, "Rest assured, Fourth Prince, I will do my utmost to capture the murderer."
Fourth Prince: "Thank you, Prince."
Long Rui turned his gaze to Lin Kong and asked in a suspicious tone, "By the way, Young Master Zhao, you just said you killed the servants in the mansion, then what about these...!"
Lin Kong was no fool; admitting he killed these servants would be tantamount to admitting he was the murderous demon. After all, so many villagers outside had died, and if it alard the Emperor, it would be a serious matter.
"No, no, no, I only killed a few disobedient servants. I didn’t kill so many servants. Besides, they died so horribly, I could not be so cruel as to gouge out their eyes." Lin Kong hurriedly denied, waving his hand.
Admitting to killing servants was a minor issue, but being linked with the eye-gouging murderer was a major issue, and couldn’t be admitted carelessly.
Long Rui: "Young Master Zhao, you repeatedly said you killed a few servants, then where are the bodies of those servants?"
Lin Kong hesitated; he had not expected Long Rui to question him this way. He had not killed anyone; he only said that to extricate the Fourth Prince. How could he have bodies?
Lin Kong: "This...!"
Long Rui’s eyes beca sharp: "What’s wrong? Could it be that Young Master Zhao has done sothing guilty and doesn’t dare to speak?"
