Dafeng's Night Squad

Chapter 171



171 The story (2) Part 2

To the gradually weakening Noble Group, the rise of King Yu had given them hope. It kept pulling him forward.

Prince Yu, who was at the heart of the storm, had arranged a marriage for Princess Ping Yang. Not only was it to find a good home for his daughter, but it was also an attempt to gain more support through marriage.

“Monk, are you willing to elope with me?”

“…. Alright.”

Heng Hui agreed. He had finally seen through his own heart and chose to face his true self.

They began to plan for the elopement. Princess Pingyang was accompanied by guards whenever she went in and out. If she was missing for more than an hour, the guards would search the mountain. Not long after, the news would be sent back to Prince Yu’s residence.

Therefore, in order to successfully elope, they needed a magical artifact that could conceal their aura, so that they could hide from the search of the Directorate of Celestials.

Finally, he needed to prepare a new household register for them and a channel to help them leave the capital.

For this reason, Princess Ping Yang found a trustworthy friend, hoping that he could help her.

……

he’s the legitimate son of uncle Ping Yuan. Is that friend the legitimate son of uncle Ping Yuan?! Xu Qi ‘an interrupted Hengyuan’s story.

Everything suddenly became clear. Uncle Ping Yuan controlled a yazi organization, which was best at faking identities and smuggling. Even if Princess Ping Yang did not know the existence of the yazi organization, it was reasonable for the two families to know some of the means of uncle Ping Yuan’s residence as they were considered close friends.

King Yu had once said that the count of Ping Yuan and the Civil officials were exchanging flirtatious looks, but they were gradually distancing themselves from the noble groups. Ping Yuanbo definitely had the motive to harm Ping Yang.

This also led to the extermination of the entire family in the residence of count Ping Yuan … He just didn’t know what role the Minister of War played in this … Xu Qi ‘an looked at No. 6, Heng Yuan, and thought, ” you’re so sure that they were abducted just because you know that they’ve been in contact with the yazi organization? ”

He didn’t dare to ask in front of everyone.

After hearing Xu Qi ‘an’s words, the few golden gongs looked at Hengyuan with questioning eyes.

yes, ” Hengyuan nodded gently, “”The simple-minded Princess Ping Yang doesn’t know how complicated the situation is in the Imperial court, much less the viciousness of the human heart. An inexperienced girl and a Buddhist monk. From the moment they decided to elope, their tragic ending was already destined.”

“At that time, the count of Ping Yuan and the noble Group were already on the surface United but on the inside divided. After he learned of this matter through His Son, he immediately discussed with the then-Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, Zhang Feng, and the Minister of Revenue, sun Mingzhong. They formulated a plan to send Princess Ping Yang out of the capital and attack King Yu.”

“Where is Princess Ping Yang now?” Jiang Luzhong said in a deep voice.

Hengyuan didn’t seem to hear him and continued, “”People’s hearts are like snakes and scorpions. After sending her out of the capital, the legitimate son of the count of Ping Yuan colluded with the young masters of sun Mingzhong and the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, Zhang Feng, and tried to rape Princess Ping Yang on the way.

“Two of them fought to the death, but one was killed, and the other committed suicide by swallowing his hairpin. In order to cover up their crimes, they buried the bodies of henghui and Princess Pingyang in the barren mountains, along with the Qi-concealing Dharma artifact.

“The outside world only knows that Princess Ping Yang has disappeared for no reason. Even if they investigate the Azure Dragon Temple, they will only think that the two of them have eloped. Who would’ve thought that they’d died a year ago?”

Princess Ping Yang was dead … The Golden gongs looked at each other in silence, their faces frighteningly serious.

Princess Ping Yang was King Yu’s daughter and Emperor Yuan jing’s niece. Killing a Princess was a major crime that would exterminate three whole families.

Nangong qianrou held the hilt of her saber and squinted her eyes.”Since Heng Hui is dead, why did he appear here a year later?”

This was also the doubt in everyone’s heart.

A person’s death was like an extinguished lamp, it was impossible to resurrect.

“He’s already dead.” Hengyuan said something that no one could understand.

“He died a year ago. Someone used a secret technique to seal his primordial spirit in his physical body, turning him into a walking corpse without any sense of perception. In this year, what supported him was revenge. It was the blood feud of Princess Ping Yang.

“If you don’t believe me, you can bring it back to the Yamen and let the coroner examine it.”

“Who saved him?” A golden gong asked.

Hengyuan shook his head.

Jin Luo, Yang Yan, and the others looked at each other and said, “”Where is Princess Ping Yang’s body? Bring us there.”

After a pause, he ordered the silver gongs around him, “”Send Heng Hui’s body back to the Yamen.”

A few golden gongs escorted Hengyuan out of the small courtyard and gave him a horse. The group of people left the city in a grandiose manner.

Xu Qi ‘an sat on the horse with a heavy heart. He was speechless for a long time. After a while, he said in a low voice,”That’s Hengyuan? Is it possible that he has been possessed or controlled?”

The gray cat on his shoulder said lazily, ” it’s Hengyuan, indeed. Heh, although I can’t look at Qi, I have my own means to distinguish between real and fake.

“Is henghui really dead?” Xu Qi ‘an didn’t quite believe it.

his life and death is not the key to the case, ” the gray cat said in a low voice, “”He’s just a puppet. With the demonic hand gone, his life and death are no longer important to the person behind the scenes. You should be happy that the case was solved more easily than you thought.”

“I really can’t be happy. Henghui and Princess Pingyang are both pitiful people.” Xu Qi ‘an’s mouth twitched, revealing a smile without a hint of a smile.

He sighed and changed the topic. there’s something wrong with henghui’s case. It’s as if the person behind the scenes deliberately pushed it to the front.

…..

At the junction of Taikang County and Changle County, in a barren mountain somewhere, Hengyuan trekked while looking around, as if he was looking for something.

The process was slow and inefficient. He told the Golden gongs that Heng Hui had only told him the general location and told him that Princess Ping Yang was buried at the root of an old locust tree that required three people to wrap their arms around.

The Golden gongs and silver gongs spread out with Hengyuan as the center, protecting him in the center and preventing him from escaping.

An hour later, they found the old Chinese scholar tree. The three silver Gong men cut off the bushes and weeds under the Chinese scholar tree. Using their knives as shovels, they dug for a moment, and the black soil vaguely revealed white bones.

“My Lord, I found it.” Yin Luo turned around and shouted excitedly.

“Dig it out!” Nangong qianrou said in a low voice.

Princess Ping Yang’s body was slowly revealed to the public. After more than a year, she had finally reappeared.

The flesh and blood had already rotted, leaving only the bones, which were stuck to the tattered cloth, which should be the clothes he had worn before his death. In addition, a dull-colored golden hairpin was found between the throat, chest, and abdomen of the skeleton.

As Hengyuan had said, she committed suicide by swallowing a hairpin.

“Amitabha.” Hengyuan couldn’t bear to watch anymore. He closed his eyes and chanted the name of Buddha in pain.

“There’s nothing else that can prove that this skeleton is Princess Ping Yang’s.” Jiang Luzhong frowned.

“This is normal.” While the gongs were still in deep thought, Xu Qi ‘an walked to the locust tree and said, “”Princess Ping Yang and her lover eloped, so she must have disguised herself. She wouldn’t have brought anything valuable to attract attention.

“Let’s split the bones first and bring them back to the Yamen. Then send someone to inform Prince Yu’s residence. Prince Yu might recognize this golden hairpin.”

After collecting the bones, everyone walked out of the mountain. Jiang Lu Zhong patted Xu Qi ‘an’s shoulder.”Well done.”

Yang Yan, who didn’t like to talk, nodded slightly and said, ” you’re the main contributor to this case. Even if the Sang Bo case is not investigated to the end, His Majesty will most likely pardon you.

Xu Qi ‘an was about to speak when he felt a knife cut across his back.

He didn’t need to turn his head to know that the sharp gaze came from Zhu Jinluo.

[ PS: to be able to end the Sang Bo case today, phew, I’m relieved. ]
