Chapter 166: Spies
Editor: Atlas Studios
Please continue reading on ΒOXΝVEL.ϹΟM .The Jin Kingdom was about to fall out because of the Crown Prince’s death, especially in Hanzhong Prefecture. They were still on guard.
The assassination of the Crown Prince of the Jin Kingdom in the territory of the Jin Kingdom angered the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom. In order to find out the truth, he even sent the Third Prince, Eliduo, and the Fourth Prince, Wulie, over.
Just like the Emperor, Eliduo and Wu Lie thought that the Crown Prince might have been assassinated by someone from another country. However, after looking at the murder scene and the investigation documents, the two of them could not help but hesitate.
The crime scene was in a mess. The Crown Prince and his guards had their valuables taken and even their clothes stripped. This was clearly a robbery. If this was an illusion deliberately made up by the other party, what would explain the fact that the children had been sold to human traffickers?
According to the governor of Hanzhong Prefecture, the reason why they could discover the other party’s tracks so quickly was because they had revealed their tracks when selling the children. Therefore, this was very likely a robbery and murder case.
The two princes’ expressions were a little ugly. Their Crown Prince had actually died at the hands of the Han people like this?
The governor stole a glance at them and said in a low voice, “The Crown Prince never reveals his whereabouts when he goes out. Even I had no idea that His Highness had arrived in Hanzhong Prefecture before. Those people probably were unaware, too.”
Even the governor of Hanzhong Prefecture did not receive the news, so how could the people outside know? Moreover, according to the investigation, the Crown Prince had come to Hanzhong Prefecture on the spur of the moment after hearing that there was a talented and intelligent boy in the Zhou family in the suburbs. While playing, he ran over to snatch the boy. At the same time, he snatched away a few other six-year-old boys from two nearby villages that caught his eye.
The governor had also heard a little about the Crown Prince’s special hobbies, but he did not dare to show too much in front of the two princes. However, he hinted simply that this was most likely a murder and robbery.
But would the two princes admit it?
Of course not. This was a great humiliation to the Jin Kingdom.
The Third Prince waved his hand and said, “The Crown Prince’s death was caused by a spy from another country. You have to find out the truth as soon as possible. We can’t allow others to bully our Great Jin Dynasty. We will definitely take revenge for today’s incident.”
The governor’s mouth was filled with bitterness, but he had no choice but to agree. However, he was thinking about whether there had been any abnormal movements in the Great Zhou recently. He wondered if he could push the blame to the Great Zhou.
