"Master, something happened." Lin Yuer's face was heavy, and she truthfully reported the scene she saw in front of the city gate to Mu Tianxue, "Master, Ming Yuexuan's shopkeeper was killed, and his body was dropped at the city gate.
The body has not been put down yet on the high wall."
Mu Tianxue's ruthless eyes suddenly darkened, and her face instantly turned cold and frosty. Who would kill a shopkeeper and hang his body on the wall of the city gate? As far as she knew, the shopkeeper was just an ordinary person with no identity.
How could he, with no money and no effort, be able to become such a ruthless enemy and kill him and then use his body to show off to the public?
Wait, show it to the public? Why should the body of the person who killed the shopkeeper be used to show it to the public? Who should show it to the public? The shopkeeper is not a relative of the emperor. It is impossible to use a common person to demonstrate to the royal family, so why should the shopkeeper be hanged?
Outside the city gate?
Could it be! The person who killed the shopkeeper came for Ming Yuexuan's employer. The shopkeeper worked for her at Ming Yuexuan. If the shopkeeper's body was shown to the public, it would not only be shown to Ming Yuexuan's boss, but also to Ming Yuexuan.
Who sees it?
But Ming Yuexuan didn't seem to have offended anyone. There were people who were jealous of Ming Yuexuan's good business. The son of the richest man, Yao Gongzi, once ordered people to go to Ming Yuexuan to cause trouble and destroy the store. Later, he had to
After knowing that Ming Yuexuan was owned by the Murong family, he never dared to come to Ming Yuexuan to cause trouble. The person who killed the shopkeeper was probably not the richest man Yao.
Seeing that Mu Tianxue was deep in thought and silent, Lin Yue'er expressed her guess, "Master, the shopkeeper was killed and hung at the city gate in public. This shows that the person who killed the shopkeeper must be a ruthless character.
How could such an amiable person like the shopkeeper have such deep grudges with others? The subordinates felt that this matter was not aimed at the shopkeeper. If he was killed by an enemy, even if the hatred was deep, it would be impossible to kill the shopkeeper.
Hanging at the city gate, it is more likely that the shopkeeper was cut into pieces or cut into eight pieces to satisfy his hatred."
"Oh" Mu Tianxue's thoughts were pulled back by Lin Yue'er's words. She stood up from the bronze mirror, walked to the window lattice and looked out the window. She said thoughtfully: "Killing the shopkeeper is just a bait, a lure.
Using the bait of the boss behind Ming Yuexuan, the other party’s target is not the shopkeeper, but Ming Yuexuan’s boss.”
What? It's the master." Lin Yuer looked surprised and said in confusion: "Master, except for a few of us, no one knows that Ming Yuexuan's boss is the master, and the master does not use the name of Ming Yuexuan's boss.
"Who did you offend? Why did the other party kill the shopkeeper to demonstrate to you?"
"No, you have offended someone. You have forgotten what happened to Ming Yuexuan half a month ago." Mu Tianxue had some suspicions in her heart, but she was not sure. More importantly, she didn't believe that he would do this.
"Could it be that the person the master is talking about is the fourth prince?" Lin Yue'er was even more surprised this time. The fourth prince was very angry that day, but he also said that he must find out who Ming Yuexuan's employer was. This matter,
Apart from the Fourth Prince, I really couldn't find anyone else who would be so bold as to hang the corpse on the wall of the city gate.
"If there is no evidence, don't make assumptions. Even if you make assumptions, don't tell them. Otherwise, it will only cause you to be killed." Mu Tianxue warned coldly. Speculating about the prince would get into trouble. She also guessed about the fourth prince.
But she still felt something was wrong.
As the fourth prince of the royal family, he would not kill the shopkeeper and hang him at the city gate just because he failed to find out who was behind Ming Yuexuan. Doing so would only damage the reputation of the royal family. In the eyes of the people, the city gate
Hanging the corpse was a provocation to the royal family. First, it was a threat to the royal family. The fourth prince had secretly killed the shopkeeper, so he would not be stupid enough to hang the shopkeeper's body on the city gate to satisfy the city.
The people were frightened and the imperial power was violated.
