Chapter 1107 Xu Shifu's Fury

late at night.

The residence of Duke Jingguo.

"Dong dong dong..."

A series of hurried knocks on the door woke up the doorman of Duke Jingguo's Mansion.

"Who?"

Menting rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked impatiently.

"I am the eunuch of the Crown Prince's Mansion! Open the door quickly!"

A loud shout came from outside the door.

Eunuch in the Prince’s Mansion?

The doorman was startled and quickly opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, the eunuch of the Prince's Mansion rushed in and said anxiously, "Take me to see Duke Jingguo! I have something important to report!"

"Yes Yes!"

The doorman nodded repeatedly and ran quickly to the mansion.

"Dong dong dong..."

Xu Shifu was sleeping soundly with his young and beautiful concubine in his arms when there was suddenly a hurried knock on the door.

Xu Shifu had just woken up when the housekeeper's panicked voice was heard outside the door again.

"My Lord, something bad has happened! The eunuch in the Crown Prince's Mansion has come to report that something has happened to the eldest son!"

"What's the big deal..."

Xu Shifu replied in a daze, but suddenly he was startled and shouted at the door: "What did you say? Say it again?"

Xu Shifu was in a panic and had no intention of asking his concubine to help him dress. He just grabbed the underwear beside the bed and put it on hastily. He didn't even have time to put on his shoes and stumbled towards the door.

The concubine was awakened, put on her clothes in a hurry, and ran to the door.

When the door opened, Xu Shifu saw the housekeeper kneeling at the door.

In an instant, Xu Shifu felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.

"master!"

The concubine screamed and quickly supported Xu Shifu.

Xu Shifu recovered with difficulty and stared at the housekeeper who was kneeling on the ground: "Tell me! What happened to the eldest master?"

The housekeeper's heart trembled, and he answered cautiously: "The eldest master was...assassinated...in Dongqiao County, Yuzhou, and died... "

Dead?

Your son died?

Xu Shifu's eyes suddenly turned blood red, he covered his chest tightly, and fell straight down.

……

When Xu Shifu woke up slowly, before he opened his eyes, he heard a suppressed cry.

The women in the Duke Jingguo's mansion were already crying.

But because Yun Li was here, they didn't dare to cry loudly and could only wipe their tears secretly.

"Your Highness, Duke Jingguo has woken up!"

The imperial physician quickly reported to Yun Li.

"uncle!"

Yun Li hurriedly went forward and sat down beside Xu Shifu's bed. With red eyes, he held Xu Shifu's hand and said, "Uncle, I am so sad!"

Condolences?

How can I mourn for this?

That was the eldest son whom he had painstakingly nurtured for many years!

Xu Shifu was so grief-stricken that he even forgot to be polite to Yun Li. He asked with tears in his eyes, "Where is Yun... Yun Cheng?"

Yun Li squeezed out a tear with all his strength, and said with a gloomy look: "I have sent someone to Dongqiao County to pass on the message, ordering them to send cousin Yuncheng's body back to the imperial city as quickly as possible..."

"Thank you very much, Your Highness."

Xu Shifu closed his eyes in pain, and two lines of turbid tears slid down from the corners of his eyes.

"The dead cannot be resurrected, I hope uncle takes care of himself!"

Yun Li's face was filled with sorrow. "My father is seriously ill. My mother has to stay in the palace with him and cannot come to visit my uncle. She asked me to come here..."

"Has the murderer been caught?"

Xu Shifu suddenly opened his eyes, with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Caught!"

Yun Li sighed: "Han Jin has been interrogated and found out that he is an assassin sent by the Wang family of Dongqiao!"

Dongqiao Wang family!

Xu Shifu's eyes suddenly burst into a strong murderous intent, and he growled with gnashing teeth: "How could the Wang family of Dongqiao be so bold as to assassinate the imperial envoy?"

Assassinate the imperial envoy!

Regardless of success or failure, the end result will be the annihilation of the clan!

How stupid must a person be to risk genocide to assassinate the imperial envoy!

Yun Li's eyes also flashed with coldness: "According to Han Jin's report, he and his cousin Yun Cheng have verified through various sources that the one who secretly supports the Red Moon Sect is most likely the Wang family of Dongqiao! According to their interrogation, the Wang family of Dongqiao got wind of the news, so they wanted to kill people to silence them..."

Murder?

Xu Shifu was breathing rapidly and his face was gloomy.

What a great Wang family of Dongqiao!

I will kill you all to avenge my son!

Yun Li glanced at Xu Shifu and said, "Han Jin feels that this matter is a little strange. When I think about it carefully, I also feel that it is a little strange."

"What's wrong?"

Xu Shifu asked angrily.

Yun Li: "Han Jin thinks that the Wang family of Dongqiao is too blatant! This doesn't seem like murder to silence the witnesses, but more like confession! Han Jin suspects that someone wants to frame the Wang family of Dongqiao..."

Xu Shifu closed his eyes and thought.

Han Jin's suspicion does make some sense.

But it doesn’t entirely make sense!

Once Han Jin and his team obtain definitive evidence proving that it is the Wang family of Dongqiao who is secretly supporting the Red Moon Sect, the Wang family of Dongqiao will not be able to escape the fate of being exterminated!

Instead of waiting for death, why not give it a try!

If Han Jin and his men could be killed in one fell swoop, wouldn't the Wang family of Dongqiao be able to rest easy?

"I think what Han Jin said makes sense."

Yun Li continued, "If the imperial envoy of the court is assassinated in Dongqiao, the court will definitely investigate Dongqiao County thoroughly!"

"By then, the Wang family of Dongqiao will definitely be caught!"

"I think the Wang family of Dongqiao wouldn't be so stupid!"

"This really looks like a means of framing someone..."

Xu Shifu also felt that Yun Li's analysis made sense.

But now, Xu Shifu was blinded by anger.

He just wants to avenge his son!

"What if Wang Shi of Dongqiao expected the court to think this way?"

Xu Shifu asked Yun Li back with gritted teeth.

"This……"

Yun Li opened his mouth slightly and was suddenly speechless.

Xu Shifu forced himself to support himself and sat up with difficulty. "Your Highness, can you order someone to arrest Wang from Dongqiao for interrogation? We will know if it is them after one trial!"

"Don't worry, uncle. Han Jin has already led people to arrest him." Yun Li said, "By now, the people from the Dongqiao Wang family should have been caught! I have ordered Han Jin to send people to escort the assassin back to the imperial city, and I will also order the Ministry of Justice to interrogate the assassin again.

"Thank you, Prince... ahem..."

Xu Shifu's face was filled with grief and anger, and he started coughing before he could finish a sentence.

Yun Li looked at Xu Shifu with a worried look on his face. He wanted to say something to comfort him, but he didn't know how to start.

At this moment, a guard of Yun Li rushed in and said, "Your Highness, urgent news from Yuzhou!"

Urgent news from Yuzhou?

Yun Li's heart skipped a beat and he quickly took the letter and opened it.

Looking at the contents of the letter, Yun Li's face was suddenly covered with frost.

"Your Highness, what...what happened?"

Xu Shifu asked weakly.

Yun Li's eyes flashed with coldness, and he replied coldly: "The Wang family of Dongqiao, together with the governor of Dongqiao County, used force to resist the imperial court's arrest. Many important members of the Wang family fled Dongqiao with a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry. The remaining members of the family refused to surrender and set fire to the Wang family's ancestral home. More than a dozen of the masterminds, including the governor of Dongqiao County, died in the sea of ​​fire..."

"Can they escape?"

Xu Shifu growled angrily and immediately said, "Your Highness, please order the governor of Yuzhou to arrest the Wang family members! Such a daring traitor must not be let off!"

Now, it's pretty obvious.

It was Wang of Dongqiao who sent people to assassinate his son!

The Dongqiao Wang family's conspiracy was exposed, and they were afraid of being exterminated, so they used force to resist the imperial court's arrest and cover the escape of those important children!

He must not let these people escape!

The Wang family of Dongqiao must be exterminated!

Only in this way can he eliminate the hatred in his heart...
