The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 78 Was the assassin sent by the fourth brother?
Yinzhen raised his head and looked around, and sure enough, he saw the Crown Prince and the Fourteenth Prince glance at him meaningfully. When they noticed he was looking at them, they quickly lowered their heads.

Turning to look at Old Thirteen, I found that he also looked worried.

Everyone looked at each other, the scene was eerily quiet, no one dared to speak, this was not an ordinary quarrel, the current situation was like a powder keg, ready to explode. Whether it was the usually arrogant prince, the warm-blooded Thirteenth, or the impulsive Fourteenth, none of them said a word.

Li Yan looked around and thought, that's not right, I am the victim!

Thinking of this, the expression on Li Yan's face changed drastically. He rushed forward and howled miserably: "Brother Jiu, what's wrong with you? Who is so cruel? How can you be so cruel!"

With Li Yan's participation, Old Fourteen seemed to be inspired. He also stepped forward and hugged a few people and started crying. The scene was a little out of control and chaotic for a while.

Finally, the good-natured Third Brother stepped forward and advised with a difficult expression: "Eighth Brother, Tenth Brother, and Fourteenth Brother, please stop crying. We are all very sad about this. But we should ask the coroner and the officers of Shuntian Prefecture to check carefully to see if they can find any clues, find the murderer as soon as possible, and avenge Ninth Brother."

"Fourth brother, Thirteenth brother, quickly pull them apart. It's not a good idea to keep crying like this."

Several people then stepped forward and hurriedly helped the Eighth, Tenth and Fourteenth Masters up. The servants quickly moved a few chairs from other rooms for the people to sit on.

Shuntian Prefecture Prefect saw the princes looking at him with ferocious eyes, gritting their teeth, as if they were looking at a murderer. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly sent his men to check. In fact, before the princes arrived, the people from Shuntian Prefecture came as soon as possible and had already carefully checked the scene. They were almost done, but were interrupted by the arrival of the princes.

But at this time, the Shuntian prefect did not dare to remind him, and hurriedly urged his men to go over it carefully again.

After being checked by several coroners and police chiefs!

Faint traces were found on the study window and the distant wall, and footprints were left in the soft soil of the garden. Everyone unanimously concluded that the time of death of the Ninth Prince should be around three o'clock last night. The murderer shot the Ninth Prince to death with an arrow from the open window from a distance, then climbed in through the window, pulled out the arrow, and searched the study, as if the murderer was looking for something.

Finally, he left calmly without alarming anyone in the mansion.

The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture called the butler of the Ninth Prince's mansion and asked if there was anything missing from the Ninth Prince's study. The butler nodded and said that no one else was allowed to enter the Ninth Prince's study, and even the cleaning was done by the Ninth Prince himself.

The study is a secret place, and even the housekeeper rarely enters it.

No one in the mansion knew what was missing from the study, so the case seemed to be stuck here.

Faced with such a conclusion, the prince was the first to stand up and express his position. He ordered the study to immediately inform the emperor in Nanjing and to organize elite forces in Shuntian Prefecture to quickly solve the case. If necessary, they should search house to house in the city for the murderer. They should give an explanation to their ninth brother and Shuntian Prefecture and the Infantry Commander's Office should fully cooperate.

Ma Qi and Lao Si both frowned, but said nothing, although they knew that this would be useless and would disturb the people, and some soldiers who were searching would take the opportunity to extort and disrupt order. However, facing the situation where a prince had died, if they dissuaded him at this time, let alone how the other princes would view him, even if the emperor heard about it, he would think he was too heartless.

The prince's actions were firstly politically correct and secondly out of a desire to value brotherhood, and no one present had any reason to object.

Let's search first.
Not long after, the city gates were closed, and a large number of soldiers went out to the streets and began to search for suspicious people. Roadblocks were set up at several intersections to check pedestrians. From time to time, hooligans who stole and molested women were caught. If they were caught at this time, they would lose a lot of skin even if they were fine. After everything was arranged, Li Yan helped the Eighth Brother back to the Eighth Master's Mansion. In Yinsi's study, Li Yan looked at the still sad Eighth Brother and sighed: "Eighth Brother, don't be too sad now. Ninth Brother is gone. If you have another accident, what should we do?"

"Old Ten, I'm really confused right now. Old Nine's sudden accident has disrupted all my plans. Now I'm also completely confused!"

"Eighth Brother, you can't panic now. If you panic, we won't know what to do. I think the most important thing now is to avenge Ninth Brother."

Yinsi looked at Li Yan with lifeless eyes: "Revenge? Aren't people from Shuntian Prefecture and the Infantry Commander's Office already searching? Besides, even Shuntian Prefecture doesn't know who the murderer is, so who can we seek revenge on?"

"Myna, it doesn't matter who the murderer is. The most important thing is who gave the order. The murderer didn't leave any clues at the scene, so how can we find him? Besides, no one has ever seen him. In this huge city of Beijing, we can't find him no matter where he hides. Even if he appears in front of us openly, we won't recognize him."

"But there must be a reason for this kind of thing. There must be a motive for killing someone. Eighth brother, I have had less contact with ninth brother recently. Has ninth brother offended anyone recently?" Li Yan slowly guided.

Yinsi frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly stood up and said angrily: "It must have been done by the fourth brother and his men!"

"Myna, you can't just guess about this kind of thing. You need evidence. Otherwise, if it gets out, even the Emperor won't forgive us."

'You're a fucking idiot!'

Lao Ba finally thought of it!

Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but acted as if he was making a fuss. He stretched out his hand and waved it, saying with a look of panic.

Yinsi frowned and thought about it, thinking that once Lao Jiu left, the Eighth Master's party would lose another capable general, and the role of Lao Shi would be very obvious at this time. At this time, he had to strengthen his relationship with Lao Shi and not let his power weaken too much, so he explained: "Tenth brother, there were some things that Lao Jiu and I did not tell you before in order not to implicate you, but now that things have come to this, there is no need to hide it from you anymore."

"A few days ago, my ninth brother learned from his inner circle in my fourth brother's house that Nian Gengyao not only brought back the Records of Officials from Jiangxia Town, but also took away two things, both of which are life-threatening items."

"Myna, what is that?"

"Tenth brother, you know that Lao Jiu has been doing business, and he is also the one who contacts officials in Jiangnan. In Jiangxia Town, Lao Jiu hoarded more than 8 million taels of silver. After the incident, Lao Jiu sent people to Jiangxia Town, but found that all the silver was gone. I think it was searched by Nian Gengyao. The news reported by the Ministry of War of the Fourteenth Brother also confirmed that when the soldiers in Sichuan returned, each of them carried a lot of baggage back to Sichuan."

"You mean that nearly 10 million taels of silver in Jiangxia Town were secretly transported back to Sichuan by Nian Gengyao. He was so bold that he didn't give the silver to the fourth brother." Li Yan was very surprised. No wonder he only found silver notes worth a few million taels in the study of the ninth brother yesterday. He also said that the ninth brother, as the god of wealth of the Eighth Master's party, only had such a small amount of money. He didn't expect that he put it all in Jiangxia Town.

Yinsi nodded with a heavy face: "From what we know, the fourth brother didn't get the money either."
