Chapter 200 Suicide out of fear of crime After Lu Hanyang returned, he sat on the chair, frowning and lost in thought. At this time, a subordinate came hurriedly. "Sir, it's not good!" Lu Hanyang's brows were furrowed when his train of thought was interrupted, and he asked unhappily, "What's the matter?" The subordinate panted and said, "Sir, the assassin who murdered the princess in the prison...he committed suicide!" Lu Hanyang stood up with a bang: "What did you say?" "That person said that revenge was hopeless, that he felt guilty towards his parents and brothers, and that he did not want to die at the hands of his enemies, so he... committed suicide out of fear of punishment." The subordinate's words made Lu Hanyang's face suddenly darken. Suicide out of fear of crime? And revenge for your brother?
Why are you still using this excuse when your lie has clearly been exposed? The words of the man in the Dali Temple prison flashed through his mind: "I advise Lord Lu not to pursue this matter any further, lest he bring trouble upon himself." Trouble with the upper body? Lu Hanyang immediately caught the key words. At that time, he didn't understand what he meant, but now thinking about the strangeness of the empress, Lu Hanyang had a rough guess in his mind. With a cold face and thin lips, he said, "Where is the body?" The subordinate hurriedly said, "My Lord, he is still in the cell." "I was afraid that you would examine the body, so I did not move the scene." "Ah." Lu Hanyang nodded slightly and said indifferently: "Take me to see it." "Yes, my lord!" Dali Temple Prison Seeing Lu Hanyang again, the guards and jailers all saluted. "See my lord!" "Get up." Lu Hanyang came to the cell where Jue Ge was imprisoned, but saw that there was only a pool of blood on the straw in the cell. As for other things, there was nothing! "What about people?" The subordinate was dumbfounded: "Sir, this...what's going on? I was only away for a while, how come the body disappeared?" Lu Hanyang's stern face darkened slightly. He glanced at the jailers beside him and asked, "Has anyone been here?"
The jailers looked at each other, hesitating and stammering. Seeing this, the subordinate stepped forward and kicked one of them angrily: "The master is asking questions, why don't you speak up!" The man was kicked and fell to his knees with a thud, sweat on his forehead, and said in panic. "Please spare my life, sir! I did not make the decision on my own. It was... Her Highness the Crown Princess's idea." Lu Hanyang's eyes darkened slightly: "Princess?" "Yes, it was Her Royal Highness. Not long after the lord left, someone from the lord's mansion said that the lord had woken up and wanted to meet the assassin who murdered her. We dared not let him go without the lord's order." "It's just that the person who came was very tough and I couldn't stop him, so I had him take the body away. I beg your forgiveness, sir." "My lord, please forgive me!" The jailers quickly knelt down and lowered their heads, awaiting trial. The atmosphere was slightly tense, and after a while, Lu Hanyang's cold voice came from above his head. "Everyone, get up." The Ether Girl has an arrogant personality. If she wants someone, she can't blame these people if she can't stop her. only…… Lu Hanyang glanced at the jailers with his cold eyes: "Although this was not your intention, you lost the prisoner and failed to guard him properly, so go down and receive a hundred lashes each." The jailers looked at each other and kowtowed to express their gratitude. "Thank you for not killing me, sir." Although the Dali Temple’s methods of punishment are harsh and cruel, at least there is hope of survival, so just endure it. …… Princess's Mansion "Your Highness, the Junior Official of the Dali Temple requests an audience!" Ji Xuan lazily leaned on the legs of a cute boy. Although the poison had been detoxified, her face was still a little pale, and her body seemed a little thinner after this incident. After hearing the guard's report, he did not even raise his head and asked slowly, "What is he doing here?" "not see." The guard looked embarrassed and hesitated, "But Your Highness, Lord Lu said he wanted to see you for something important, and His Majesty ordered him to handle your assassination case. Could he be here for the case?" Hearing this, Ji Xuan frowned, with a hint of impatience in her eyes. After thinking about it, he finally said, "Let him in." If she didn't see him, who knows how she would be framed by the Queen Mother. She wanted to see what he wanted to see her do. (End of this chapter)
