Yun Jingchu recounted everything from three groups of people being attacked at the same time a month ago and the investigation to no avail, to receiving the threatening note, to Zhu's disappearance the night before yesterday, to the death of fifty-six people at the same time. After that,
Picking up the tea Baili Wushang handed to him, he took a sip and waited for Yun Shangren's reaction...
After listening to Yun Jingchu's words, Yun Shangren sat on the chair and was speechless for a long time.
He had a feeling that he was dreaming. He never imagined that someone could do whatever he wanted in his mansion. When he thought of this, he felt a chill on the back of his neck.
"...Why didn't you tell me these things earlier?" After a long time, Yun Shangren looked at Yun Jingchu and spoke with a complicated expression.
Because I don't trust you. Yun Jingchu replied quickly in his heart.
Of course, the truth in his heart could not be spoken out. Yun Jingchu took another deep breath, and then slowly said: "We thought we could handle everything by ourselves, and we didn't want our father to worry about it. We didn't expect that things would develop like this.
Now it is impossible to hide it from my father, so I can only tell you."
Yun Shangren's face turned pale, his lips opened and closed several times, and finally he sighed and asked: "What do you want to do next?"
"Of course we need to find the murderer behind the scenes and give an explanation to the victims." Yun Jingchu replied without thinking.
"Now that such a big thing has happened in the palace, it is impossible to hide it from outsiders. I will enter the palace later and report this matter to the emperor. Next, it is estimated that Jing Zhaoyi will join the investigation."
Yun Jingchu frowned, but although he was unhappy, he nodded: "My daughter knows."
"Then you go out and do your work. I'll sit here for a while." Yun Shangren said as he picked up the tea cup.
Yun Jingchu and Baili Wushang stood up at the same time and walked out.
As soon as the two of them went out, Yun Shangren's hand holding the teacup dropped slumped down, and his face became as gray as if he had aged more than ten years.
Two hours later, the palace, the royal study.
After hearing Yun Shangren's report, Dongfang Xu was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.
In fact, he had spies stationed in many places in the capital, but not in the Yun Mansion.
Because he knew how powerful the Yun Jingchu sisters were, he was afraid that if they were discovered, even if he had no ill intentions, he would not be able to explain it clearly. Of course, he was not afraid of the Yun family, but he did not want to be enemies of the Yun family, especially Yun Jingchu.
.
Therefore, he had not heard any news before, and this was the first time he heard from Yun Shangren.
"Is Jingchu okay?" Dongfang Xu's first words were this after being silent for a long time.
Yun Shangren was stunned for a moment, then quickly said: "Jingchu is fine."
What Yun Shangren said was true. Just now, he felt that his head was confused and his feet were weak. He saw that his little daughter was still calm as usual, neither panicked nor angry or heartbroken.
"That's good." Dongfang Xu's expression relaxed a little, "Prime Minister Yun, don't worry, I will have someone find out everything."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yun Shangren hurriedly knelt down to salute, but Dongfang Xu stopped him.
In the afternoon, Dongfang Xu's imperial edict arrived at Yun Mansion, along with people from the Punishment Department.
The imperial edict stated that Sun Yanming, the Minister of Punishment, should cooperate with the Yun family to find the murderer. If the murderer is found, he will be severely punished.
After hearing the contents of the imperial edict, Yun Jingchu felt a little relieved. Since they were cooperating and not taking the lead, the initiative in investigating the case was still in their hands, which she was very satisfied with.
