What group are you guys?

Chapter 599 Not even a pretend
Han Shengxuan, the human-cat, is one of the three great demons of the Spring and Autumn Period. Although his strength is only at the Finger Profound Realm, he has had the experience of killing Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts several times due to his cultivation techniques. He can be considered the strongest expert in the Li Yang royal family on the surface.

His identity is roughly equivalent to that of the head of the Eastern Depot, which is the kind of villain commonly seen in martial arts dramas. Normally, he would be the mastermind behind everything. If Princess Suizhu hadn't been murdered, even if we followed the main storyline, it would have taken Xu Fengnian more than a year before he would have had any dealings with this guy.

Accompanying Han Shengxuan were 30,000 iron cavalry. It was clear that if Han Shengxuan discovered that Prince Jing'an had any problems in the case of the princess's murder, he would definitely put the prince in a prison cart and send him to the capital.

Zhao Heng was naturally aware of this, so even though he hadn't done it, he was still somewhat uneasy.

There's no way around it, your roommate is always sharpening a knife while staring at your neck, muttering to himself about which part and angle to cut from for the fastest and most accurate time. Even if you know he's obsessed with medicine, just ask yourself, aren't you scared?
"Han Diao Temple, these are all the evidence I've collected so far!"

So no matter how unwilling Zhao Heng was, he couldn't maintain his austere, vegetarian demeanor and began to enthusiastically introduce Han Shengxuan.

"what is this?"

Han Shengxuan picked up a bullet and asked.

"According to the subsequent investigation at the scene, the attackers initially used these concealed weapons to shoot at the convoy, but it seemed to have limited effect. So later, the attackers directly started killing people with sword energy!"

Immediately, someone brought over the bodies of the slain cavalrymen. These bodies were all placed in an ice cave for refrigeration, so that Han Shengxuan could personally examine the cause of death.

"Forehead?"

Without wasting any words, Han Shengxuan directly tore the corpse apart with his hands and began to examine it.

The cavalry escorting Princess Suizhu numbered sixty men. Only the first few were killed by bullets; the vast majority of the rest were killed by someone using a sword-like aura.
As for the remaining unlucky ones?
It was used by someone for experiments.

"These corpses? Did you perform the autopsies?"

Looking at the several corpses that had been painstakingly pieced together but were still missing their heads, even Han Shengxuan, with his composure, couldn't help but frown.

"No, these bodies were like this when they were discovered, and my men have already expanded the search area to a radius of fifty miles, but they haven't found the missing heads!"

"Hmph! Find the list of those headless corpses and kill their entire families!"

Although it seems the murderer was responsible, Han Shengxuan said that since the body was missing, who knows if these people deliberately betrayed the princess's whereabouts and used another body to impersonate her? So, he decided to just send the whole family to be reunited.

Having resolved this trivial matter, Han Shengxuan then began to analyze the situation step by step.

Han Shengxuan rearranged the body and carriage as they had been when they were first discovered and began his investigation and analysis.

Everyone knows that this old eunuch is the biggest schemer and coroner in the world, so he can definitely see many things that others cannot.

Zhao Heng stopped turning the prayer beads in his hand and waited with bated breath for the results of Han Shengxuan's investigation.

The air seemed to be thick with killing intent, and all the guards instinctively placed their hands on their sword hilts.

If Han Shengxuan were to utter even a single word about a problem, the two sides would immediately engage in a fierce battle.

"This is a newly promoted expert with some experience in mechanical manufacturing. He dismembered these corpses just to test his abilities, and I guess he still wants to intimidate the princess!"

After examining all the corpses, Han Shengxuan began to mentally sketch out an impression of them.

"He's not very old, probably around twenty. His main job is probably a blacksmith. He's recently been promoted to the Finger Profound Realm. He probably didn't know martial arts before, and he has a grudge against the royal family!"

In this world, sudden enlightenment and direct advancement are not uncommon; on average, one such person appears every thirty years. The last one was named Jian Jiuhuang. Before the age of thirty, he was just a swordsmith. However, through a series of fortuitous events, he learned three sword techniques and instantly became one of the top three sword masters in the world. A few days ago, he went to challenge Wang Xianzhi, who claimed to be the second best in the world but was actually the best. Although he died, he tore half of Wang Xianzhi's sleeve, proving himself to be one of the top masters in the world!
'call! '

Zhao Heng silently breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the damned eunuch didn't deliberately cause trouble, otherwise it would have really been a lose-lose situation.

"I will immediately send men to arrest all the young blacksmiths in Qingzhou!"

Zhao Heng didn't care how many people would suffer injustice because of his actions. As long as he could clear his name, he didn't care how many civilians died.

"Then there is Prince Lao!"

Although Han Shengxuan felt that the murderer should have fled long ago after ten days, he still had to show his attitude no matter what.

Besides, who knows, there might actually be a clue?

As for how many people died unjustly because of this?

What a joke! If Han Shengxuan, the cat, cared about these things, he wouldn't be a proper neutered dog.

"Report!"

Just as Zhao Heng was about to order his men to arrest the man, a guard rushed in.

"Be bold!"

Zhao Heng waved his hand, ready to order his men to drag the guard out and behead him. Didn't he see that he was discussing an important matter with Han Diaosi? How dare he come and cause trouble at this time? He was simply courting death.

"Wait a minute, I'd like to hear what's going on!"

Han Shengxuan spoke in a sinister tone.

"Your Highness, the Princess Consort has been kidnapped!"

The guard, who had just narrowly escaped death, immediately reported back.

"what?"

Zhao Heng was stunned. Princess Pei Nanwei of Jing'an was a famous beauty on the Rouge List, even ranking above Princess Suizhu!
Since she became the Princess Consort of Jing'an, Zhao Heng has been inseparable from her. Everyone in Qingzhou knows that the prince cherishes his princess like the most precious thing.

However, since this time they had to welcome Han Shengxuan, Zhao Heng could only leave Pei Nanwei in the mansion.

After all, bringing one's own stunningly beautiful princess to meet with Han Shengxuan, this eunuch, wouldn't that be deliberately provoking the other party's nerves?
"lead the way!"

Before Zhao Heng could speak, Han Shengxuan immediately took over and gave the order.

How could such a coincidence happen?
Han Shengxuan glanced at the dazed and dejected Zhao Heng, feeling that this Prince Jing'an was simply treating him like a fool and making fun of him.

You just arrived to investigate Princess Suizhu's murder, and then your princess was kidnapped?

They didn't even bother acting!
