In the evening at the Zhenguo Palace, there were constant sounds of crying.
Liu Heng's body was placed on the bed, and many imperial doctors came to see it. The man was already dead, and no matter how skilled the doctors were, there was nothing he could do to save him.
"Heng'er, please open your eyes and look at me. Mother, please open your eyes."
The eldest wife of Duke Zhen Guo fell on her son's body, crying in grief.
On the side stood the Duke of Zhen, several other ladies, young masters, and even the two married daughters of Duke Zhen.
"Master, you want to avenge Heng'er."
The eldest lady said sadly and angrily while crying.
Duke Liu Zhen stood aside with a gloomy expression, looking at his son on the bed. He waved his hand, and immediately a servant covered Liu Heng's body with white silk.
"The hatred of killing a son is irreconcilable. Has anyone brought it?"
After all, Liu Zhen was the Duke of Zhenguo. Although his son was killed, which made him angry, he did not lose his sense of proportion. The top priority was to peel off the cocoons and figure out the whole story.
Now is the time when the Crown Prince and King Zhao are fighting for the throne. Liu Zhen is a member of King Zhao's party and has a reputation for being unfair, so he must be extra careful in his actions and absolutely do not allow any mistakes. Liu Zhen even doubts his son's death, and
It is related to the dispute between the Crown Prince and King Zhao.
"The three members of the Han family from Shunfa Restaurant have been brought here and are waiting outside for the master to leave."
The housekeeper said quickly.
"Then let's go take a look."
Liu Zhen said lightly, then walked out with his hands behind his hands.
The eldest lady and others also quickly followed.
Although the guard had already explained the situation when he came back, there were some things that Liu Zhen still had to figure out.
Han Su's family of three were surrounded by a group of guards. Han Su held his hands and felt nervous. Although this matter did not have a direct relationship with them, it also had an indirect relationship. If the Duke of Zhen was really angry, their family would be hard pressed to avoid it.
blame.
"You are the ones who killed my son, I will kill you."
As soon as the eldest lady came up, she slapped Han Su like a shrew.
Han Su didn't dare to react at all, and could only lower his head in grievance.
"How dignified are you? Retreat."
Liu Zhen frowned and scolded in a deep voice.
The son's life is important, but the situation is tense now, and the overall situation must be the top priority. If this is just a conspiracy against him, and he handles it improperly, the damage to his reputation is a trivial matter, which may affect King Zhao's succession to the throne.
Now, King Zhao and the prince's party are extremely careful, for fear of being caught by the other party.
The lives of these three ordinary people in front of him were not worth mentioning in Liu Zhen's eyes. They were not the protagonists. What was important was the power behind them.
The Han Su family didn't know that they were all related to the princelings. They just lowered their heads, trembled, and looked cautious.
"Keep your head up."
Liu Zhen said lightly.
Han Su's family could only raise their heads in fear.
"Don't worry, if this matter has nothing to do with you, I certainly won't blame you."
Liu Zhen said, trying to make himself look more approachable.
"Your Excellency, this matter really has nothing to do with our family. We didn't know it would be like this."
Han Su's father quickly explained.
"Let me ask you, what are the origins of the two people who killed my son?"
Liu Zhen asked, looking at Han Su's family of three with burning eyes. With his ability to recognize people, he could tell at a glance whether they were lying.
"We don't know either. We only know that they are experts from this world."
Han Su's father said that before coming, they had already discussed that they would never reveal Mo Hai's identity as an immortal. It was their duty to conceal Mo Hai's identity for the immortal, so Han Su's family looked natural.
"Listen to that man, if I touch you even a little bit, will he question me?
He is so arrogant. He killed my son and yet dared to speak arrogant words to me."
Liu Zhen continued to ask, with a calm tone that was extremely intimidating.
"This, I'm really not sure about this. Your Majesty, it's only the first time that we and those two people have met today. I regret it very much now. If only I hadn't let my daughter take to the streets today."
Han Su's father said tremblingly.
Liu Zhen frowned slightly. He really couldn't ask anything from Han Su's family. Of course, he couldn't torture him to extract a confession.
This matter seemed to be a coincidence, but the key was at this juncture, so Liu Zhen had to worry more.
"Okay, you go back first."
Liu Zhen waved his hand.
"Master, how can we let them go back? I want them to be buried with Heng'er."
The eldest lady said angrily.
"shut up."
Liu Zhen's tone deepened and he scolded loudly.
"Don't worry about it. This matter has nothing to do with you. I won't offend you."
Liu Zhen said as pleasantly as possible.
Han Su's family was granted amnesty. They had heard that Duke Zhen Guo was very tyrannical, but today they felt that Duke Zhen Guo was quite good and a good official.
After the Han Su family left gratefully, the Duke of Zhen glared at the eldest lady.
"They are just minor characters, what's the use of killing them?
This incident is too sudden, and there must be a conspiracy. Now is a precarious time, so remember not to add any extraneous ramifications."
Liu Zhen said in a deep tone.
"But Master, did Heng'er die in vain?"
The eldest lady was unwilling to give in. Her son was killed and she had to find a place to vent her anger.
"No, after everything settles, someone will naturally bury Heng'er with him."
Liu Zhen said meaningfully.
The Liu family naturally understood what the master meant.
"Send someone to keep an eye on the family of three to see who they usually come into contact with. If there is any situation, report it to me immediately."
Liu Zhen ordered the housekeeper.
Liu Zhen was always uneasy, feeling that the person behind his son's murder was a princeling. If he killed the three members of Han Su's family out of anger today, he would definitely make a fuss about it.
