Mei Guangtao came to see the prince with his confession.

"Your Highness, this is Zhu Quankun's confession. He confessed to his crimes."

Luo QingHan picked up his confession and read it again. He asked, "didn't Zhu Quankun say why he hired someone to kill?"

Mei Guangtao answered truthfully: "Zhu Quankun said that he never hired anyone to kill. All he did was for money. He never killed anyone."

As for the hostages kidnapped by Zhu Quankun in the past, they were finally sold into the mountains by him. These still need to be verified one by one.

Luo QingHan put down his confession and asked lightly, "do you think Zhu Quankun's words are credible?"

Mei Guangtao: "Weichen thinks he really doesn't need to kill. It's not good for him. It may even lead to death. It doesn't accord with his mercenary nature."

Luo QingHan: "if the assassination really has nothing to do with him, it's that someone is killing with a knife. Who wants to kill Dong Mingchun?"

Mei Guangtao: "Weichen feels that we should ask Dong Shangshu about it. It started with him. The clue must be hidden in him."

Luo QingHan nodded slightly: "it makes sense."

Now that Zhu Quankun has confessed, he can be sentenced as long as he follows the procedure and goes through the process.

The case of Dusheng church has come to an end for the time being.

Luo QingHan asked Dong Mingchun to come over.

Dong Mingchun saluted respectfully.

"Do you have any orders?"

Luo QingHan motioned him to sit down and talk slowly.

Dong Mingchun knelt down carefully. His right arm was still wrapped in gauze and his face was a little pale. Fortunately, he looked good and much more energetic than yesterday.

Luo QingHan: "how is your wife now?"

Dong Mingchun: "Zhuo Jing is very good. Thank your Highness for your concern."

"Zhu Quankun has confessed, but he said he didn't hire a murderer. That is to say, up to now, we haven't been able to find out who assassinated you. Have you ever had any clues?"

In fact, Dong Mingchun has been thinking about it these two days.

The result really reminded him of one thing.

Dong Mingchun hesitated and said it.

"Two days ago, Weichen received a letter from his distant cousin. His cousin was a county magistrate in Qiluo county. His surname was Niu and his single name was Hong."

"Niu Hong said in his letter that he encountered a very strange case not long ago. The reporter was a crazy old woman. She said that someone had killed her family. Niu Hong immediately sent someone to investigate, but found that no one had been killed at all. The old woman's children were all well. Everyone said that the old woman was old and confused, and she couldn't believe what she said."

"Niu Hong thought it was over, but before long, the old woman suddenly hanged herself. Zhuo said she committed suicide, but Niu Hong thought it was not simple. He wanted to continue to investigate, but the old woman's family suddenly moved away in a hurry."

"Niu Hong said that he was very upset and had a hunch that something bad might happen. He specially wrote it in his letter. If he had an accident in the future, Weichen might be able to settle his grievances for him."

"Wei Chen has been worried about my Jing these days. He didn't take this letter to heart. It's really strange to think about it now."

Dong Mingchun was assassinated on the way to pay the ransom. He instinctively thought it was the kidnappers.

But now, the kidnappers are bent on seeking money. There is no need to kill.

It happened that he was assassinated the night after receiving a letter from his cousin.

Very coincidental in time.

This has to make Dong Mingchun suspicious.

Luo QingHan: "where is that letter?"

Dong Mingchun: "the letter is in Weichen's study. Weichen will let someone get it."

He wanted his servants to go, but then he thought about what might happen, so he let his eldest son run this trip himself.

His eldest son came back after a long time, but he was empty handed.

Dong Mingchun asked, "where's the letter?"

"I didn't find it. My son looked through the whole study and didn't find any letters at all."

Dong Mingchun frowned: "how is this possible? I clearly put the letter on the case with two books on it. I can't remember wrong!"

Luo QingHan asked, "will someone take your letter?"

"It shouldn't be. Weichen told his servants that no one in the family is allowed to enter the study without Weichen's permission."

Dong Mingchun felt more and more uneasy. He decided to go back in person.

Luo QingHan said, "I'll go back with you."

Since the crown prince is leaving, Xiao Xi's leg pendant will naturally be taken away.

The party arrived at Dong's house in a carriage.

As soon as Dong Mingchun entered the house, he went straight to the study.

He first turned over the book case, and then carefully looked around several bookshelves. As a result, he found nothing.

Luo QingHan and Xiao Xixi sat beside him and watched him busy.

Dong Mingchun said in a sweat: "Your Highness, everything in the study is there, except the letter."

Luo QingHan: "it seems that your study was robbed, and the thief only stole the letter."

Dong Mingchun's face became more and more pale.

There are many valuable calligraphy, paintings and antiques in his study. If an ordinary thief would certainly steal those valuable things, how could he steal only one letter?

Unless the thief came specifically for the letter.

Dong Mingchun said uneasily, "Your Highness, the man can enter this study at will. Does that mean that he may hide with Weichen? As long as Weichen is not careful, he will be killed?"

Luo QingHan said, "I'm not afraid of them. I'm afraid they won't do it. The solitary meeting will arrange Yu Linwei to follow you secretly. As long as the other party makes a move, Yu Linwei will take them down."

Dong Mingchun understood.

He said with a wry smile, "Your Highness, this is to use Weichen as bait?"

Luo QingHan: "there is only one who can be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no one who can prevent thieves for a thousand days. Gu is also doing this for once and for all, so as not to live in fear for the rest of your life."

Dong Mingchun wants to cry.

Why did he get into such a big trouble when he didn't do anything?!

Cousin hurt him!

Then a steward came to the door of the study and asked respectfully, "Sir, do you want lunch now?"

Dong Mingchun left the prince and concubine Xiao at home for dinner.

The Prince did not refuse this time.

In order to entertain the crown prince, today's lunch is very rich.

Xiao Xixi knelt down beside the prince. She ate delicious roast lamb chops. She wanted to raise a few sheep in the back yard of Qingge hall. She could not only drink goat milk, but also eat a roast whole sheep occasionally.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that day is really beautiful!

Dong Mingchun also specially asked his musicians and dancers to come out to perform for the prince.

Luo QingHan was too noisy. He winked at Xiao Xi.

Xiao Xi buried herself in eating meat and didn't receive the signal from the prince.

Luo QingHan pinched a rustling thigh under the table.

Xiao Xi immediately looked up and looked at the prince with confusion.

Luo QingHan touched the Obsidian beads on his wrist twice in front of her.
