Shocking Mountain Moon

Chapter 30 Investigation failed
Before Han Ziheng was found, several of his friends who had traveled with him, as well as his servants, guards, prostitutes and maids, were all interrogated.

As a result, several friends said that it was Han Ziheng's suggestion to go to Daishan.

It was impossible to suspect a few friends. As for the maids and servants, their lives and fortunes depended on their masters, so it was even more difficult to suspect them.

As a result, several female prostitutes became the focus of interrogation, and Zhilan, who accompanied Han Ziheng, was the most important.

Zhilan is not afraid of being asked.

She didn't do anything. She just acted as a sweet talker and added wine to Han Ziheng in time.

As for going to Daishan Mountain, it was indeed her decision to guide Han Ziheng, but she did not say it clearly. A person as arrogant as Han Ziheng would not feel that he was influenced by others.

And those paper cranes that changed her destiny had long been torn into pieces by her, leaving no trace.

In fact, she was reluctant to leave, but she would not be stupid enough to keep it as a souvenir. It was enough for her to keep it firmly in her heart.

When the investigation came to a standstill, Han Ziheng was found.

He said he was found, but in fact he was the one running in the woods in panic and met the person who was looking for him.

"Where's my dad? Go tell him, someone wants to harm me!"

As he said this, Han Ziheng gritted his teeth, his face was ferocious, as if he was going to eat the person who harmed him.

The Dali Temple official who presided over the case did not mention Han Wu's assassination. He said in a gentle voice, "Mr. Han, please tell us what happened at that time in detail."

"I was drunk and found a secluded place to relieve myself. When I was about to turn around and go back, a hand suddenly covered my mouth and nose, and soon I lost consciousness..."

"You covered it with your hands?"

"Yes - wait, it's the handkerchief, it has a smell, it's an incense!"

Han Ziheng shouted excitedly, but the officials from the Dali Temple looked calm.

This is not nonsense. He fell unconscious as soon as he was covered. What else could it be but the incense?

"and then?"

"Then - I woke up and found myself in a dark place. I groped around in the dark and touched the stone wall... I guessed I was in a cave. I groped for a long time and found the entrance. I pushed away the stone blocking the entrance and came out..."

There is no need to ask what happened next. The people who had been looking for Han Ziheng and the criminals found Han Ziheng stumbling and running.

"Aren't Mr. Han's hands and feet tied?"

"No."

The officials from the Dali Temple, the Censorate, and the Ministry of Justice looked at each other.

"So, the villain didn't intend to take Mr. Han's life."

Otherwise, if his hands and feet were tied and not discovered in time, Han Ziheng would have starved to death in the cave.

These words stimulated Han Ziheng.

"Why didn't you plan to kill me? Why didn't you want to knock me out and throw me into the cave? Not only did the villain block the entrance with rocks, but he also covered it with vines outside because he didn't want me to be found!" Han Ziheng became angrier as he spoke, "Are you trying to excuse the villain by saying this? Where's my dad? I want to see my dad!"

In the past, people would have tolerated such an impolite attitude, but without his powerful father, naturally no one would tolerate such an arrogant and domineering playboy.

"Your father heard that you were missing, and was assassinated when he went to Daishan to look for you." said the official from the Censorate.

He knew more than other government offices, and some censors were already preparing to impeach Han Wu for dereliction of duty and hold him accountable for his mistakes during his lifetime.

Han Wu had been in charge of the imperial guards for many years, but he did not manage his affairs. Seeing that the imperial guards' ability was getting worse year by year, some officials were worried. Some generals expressed their dissatisfaction and were pushed to the sidelines by him.

Nowadays, some people are considering national affairs, while others are seeking personal gain. Regardless of their purpose, many people are sharpening their knives.

The fall of the towering tree of the Han family is foreseeable.

"My father is dead?" Han Ziheng was stunned. "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

The answer to him was silence.

"Dad, I want to see my dad. Where is my dad?" Han Ziheng was shocked by the sudden news and ran out like crazy.

No one stopped him for a moment.

Han Ziheng is not a criminal now, and knowing that his father is in trouble, it is reasonable for him to go and see. "It seems that Han Ziheng is just a bait, and the criminals are going after Han Wu."

"Then there is a high possibility that the other party is a spy..."

Several officials were discussing and couldn't help but look at the silent boy.

Over the years, Northern Qi, Western Jiang and other countries have sent many spies to Daxia, and of course Daxia has reciprocated.

One of the main responsibilities of the Imperial City Bureau is to catch spies.

Xue Han then spoke: “The Imperial City Division will intensify the search.”

As for Han Wu, the one who occupied the toilet but did nothing, making the imperial guards in a mess and vulnerable, was he a spy from the enemy country whose head was kicked by a donkey? Should we get rid of him?
This person is not a spy at all; he is clearly one of our own who loves Daxia.

Xue Han just wanted to applaud Han Wu's death, but he still had to do what he had to do, so he simply didn't go to the government office and patrolled the streets all day.

When Han Ziheng went crazy because of his father's death, Qiu Heng slept until the afternoon and drank the sweet soup that Fangzhou had just made.

When you are tired or in pain, sweets are undoubtedly the most soothing thing.

"Is everything ready?" Qiu Heng asked after taking a few sips of the sweet soup.

Fangzhou nodded: "It's taken care of."

What was dealt with was the military uniform with wide-sleeved short shirt.

Each room in the Bo's mansion had its own kitchen, and Fangzhou was already very familiar with the kitchen of the third room. Taking advantage of the afternoon when no one was around, she made a pot of sweet soup and stuffed her clothes into the stove.

The sweet soup was ready and the clothes were burned to ashes.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"The girl is the one who has a hard time." There was heartache in Fangzhou's eyes.

Only she saw the crisscrossing fine wounds on the girl's body when she bathed. Although the wounds were not deep, it must have hurt so much.

The girl didn't even frown.

He was so patient. I wonder how much the girl must have suffered during those ten days when she was missing.

"As long as I can get things done, I'm not afraid of hard work." After eating the sweet soup, Qiu Heng felt sleepy again.

After a day and a night of consumption, a nap is not enough.

The next day, the news that Han Wu was assassinated and Han Ziheng was found spread completely.

Qiu Heng walked in the mansion, listening to the servants discussing the most exciting things happening in the capital, and smiled slightly.

Once Han Wu dies, those who were dissatisfied with him will no longer have to endure it, and I believe more news will come out.

Good news for her, bad news for Han Ziheng.

A day later, most of the scratches on Qiu Heng's body had healed. While she was tending to the spices, she suddenly felt a familiar burning pain.

"Fangzhou, is today the fifteenth?" Qiu Heng knew the date, but couldn't help but ask Fangzhou for confirmation.

"It's fifteen, what's wrong with you, girl?"

Qiu Heng's face turned pale and she urged Fang Zhou: "Bring me a basin of cold water."

Fangzhou hurriedly brought a basin of water.

Qiu Heng dipped her hand into the water, but the burning sensation did not ease at all.

Sure enough, it doesn’t work.

Without any hope of success, Qiu Heng immediately stood up and walked out.

"Girl, where are you going?"

"I have to go out for something, you don't need to follow me."

Fangzhou had no choice but to stop and suppress his worry.
