The next day.
Mo Yu woke up in the room upstairs of the tavern with a headache, opened his eyes and looked at the unfamiliar layout.
After a while, he remembered that he had drunk too much last night and rested here, but An Ruochen went straight back to the inn.
"Gorro!"
Ge Luo had been guarding outside the house. When he heard Mo Yu's voice, he pushed the door open and walked in: "My Lord, are you going back to the palace now?"
Mo Yu nodded, his head still hurting badly. It seemed that he couldn't drink too much in the future.
Wei Weiyan did not get a good rest yesterday. He stayed at Wei Xiongfeng's tablet all night. Even if he had many faults, he was still his only legitimate son.
"Feng'er, your father has avenged you. Now you can rest in peace!" After saying this, Wei Weiyan lit a stick of incense.
Boom boom boom!
There was an urgent knock on the door.
Wei Weiyan said unhappily: "Who is it?"
"Father, it's me. Today our spies in Marquis Weiwu's mansion reported that Marquis Weiwu walked into the mansion!" Wei Yuze's voice came.
Wei Weiyan was shocked. Didn’t Mo Yu die yesterday
Wei Weiyan quickly opened the door and asked, "What's going on?"
Wei Yuze looked at the burning incense in the house. When Wei Weiyan couldn't see, a jealous look flashed across his eyes. His face returned to its serious look and he shook his head gently: "I don't know. My son came here as soon as he received the news today. How about calling those two people over to ask?"
Wei Yuze suggested opening his mouth.
Wei Weiyan: "Okay, bring the person here quickly."
In the study, two men of majestic stature saluted Wei Weiyan in unison, while Wei Yuze stood quietly beside them.
Wei Weiyan asked calmly, "Are you sure it was Mo Yu you killed yesterday?"
The two looked at each other, and one of them, who looked particularly calm, replied, "My Lord, it was dark last night, but judging from her figure and clothes, she was Mo Yu."
Does this mean that you didn't see Mo Yu's appearance clearly
Wei Weiyan's face suddenly turned ugly.
Before Wei Weiyan could lose his temper, Wei Yuze asked them to leave and said thoughtfully, "Father, it seems that it wasn't Mo Yu who died yesterday. Then who died?"
On the other side, as soon as Mo Yu came back, Sima Gaozhuo rushed over.
Mo Yu rubbed his temple. He felt really bad from the hangover. When he heard Sima Gaozhuo coming over, he couldn't help but frowning: "Why is he coming here at this time?" Is he here to cause trouble again
The servant lowered his head and replied, "My Lord, Lord Sima didn't say anything, but he looked very anxious."
Mo Yu sighed in his heart: "Prepare tea in the hall, I will go after I pack up."
In the hall.
When Sima Gaozhuo saw Mo Yu coming over, he hurriedly told him the purpose of this trip: "My Lord, the Sixth Prince did not return home last night. I wonder if he is with you?"
Mo Yu was shocked: "Master Sima, the Sixth Prince went back home last night. Didn't he go back to the inn?"
Sima Gaozhuo shook his head: "No, Lord, you are the only person our prince is familiar with here. I wonder where else he would go?"
The Sixth Prince An Ruochen has never been favored by King Ankui, so this thankless task fell on An Ruochen. As ministers, they did not care much about this unfavored and powerless prince.
But Sima Gaozhuo didn't expect that An Ruochen was missing.
Mo Yu also knew that this was a big deal, and he quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, Lord Sima. I will go to the palace to report to the emperor and ask the capital defense to arrange to find him. Maybe he is drunk somewhere?"
All kinds of conspiracies went through Mo Yu's mind. Even if Ankui Kingdom wanted to do something, it would not be possible for them to use their own prince as an excuse. So who else could they do
Who will benefit if something happens to An Ruochen
Mo Yu led a team of people to check several roads leading to the post station, and indeed found bloodstains and a piece of white cloth on one road.
When Sima Gaozhuo saw this scene, there was despair in his eyes. This piece of cloth was clearly part of An Ruochen's clothes.
"Mo Yu, you have to take responsibility for what happened this time." Sima Gaozhuo immediately called out, "Come here, enter the palace!"
Mo Yu gritted his teeth as he looked at the scene in front of him. Looking at the bloodstains on this place, he was afraid that An Ruochen was in great danger. Not long after, Mo Yu received an imperial decree summoning him to the palace.
When Wei Weiyan received the news that An Ruochen, the sixth prince of Ankui State, was missing, his heart skipped a beat. It was over. This time, things had really gotten out of hand. The sixth prince of Ankui State had actually been killed. Today would definitely not be a quiet day.
Wei Weiyan entered the palace with the memorial. He felt uneasy if he didn't look into this matter.
Not long after Wei Weiyan entered the palace, Sima Gaozhuo came over excitedly, came to Yi Jinyi and knelt down in front of him: "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!"
Yi Jinyi quickly asked someone to help Sima Gaozhuo up: "Sima Qing, don't be anxious. Tell me slowly. What happened? Has the Sixth Prince been found?"
As soon as Yi Jinyi finished speaking, Sima Gaozhuo spoke in grief and anger: "Your Majesty, this is what I am talking about. Your Majesty and Marquis Weiwu found fragments of our prince's clothes and a pool of blood in a secret street. I believe he has been killed now! Our Ankui Kingdom has always been peaceful. I didn't expect that the prince would disappear in the capital when he came to pay tribute. Please, Your Majesty, make a decision for our Ankui Kingdom!"
Sima Gaozhuo's words were clearly a threat. If the murderer was not found, how would Tianyu Kingdom gain a foothold in the other two countries
Wei Weiyan felt relieved when he heard Sima Gaozhuo say this. It seemed that he was going to blame Mo Yu for this matter. That was good!
Yi Jinyi said with dignity: "Come here, announce the mighty military marquis Mo Yu!"
Mo Yu quickly arrived at the palace, his mind spinning, thinking about the beneficiary of this incident.
"Your Highness!"
Yi Jinyi asked Mo Yu to stand up and asked, "I have heard about the Sixth Prince's affairs. I wonder how the investigation is going now?"
Mo Yu said calmly: "Your Majesty, judging from the bloodstains at the scene, the Sixth Prince may have been killed!"
When Sima Gaozhuo heard Mo Yu say this, he exploded instantly: "Mo Yu, if you hadn't asked the Sixth Prince out for a drink, how would our prince have discovered this!"
Mo Yu looked at Sima Gaozhuo who was looking at him with hatred, his mind kept turning, and he explained: "Master Sima, you can think about it. If I really want to harm the Sixth Prince, I won't be stupid enough to kill him directly after drinking with the Sixth Prince. Besides, the Sixth Prince and I have never had any grudges, so why would I harm him?"
Sima Gaozhuo was really stunned by the news he had just heard. After hearing what Mo Yu said, he suddenly came to his senses. But who else in the capital would kill their sixth prince without regard for the consequences
