Su Cheng entered the palace and asked Xiao Zhonghua for a decree to seal the city gate. He also sent the Qin family’s army to search everywhere in the capital.

Su MO came to see his sister every day, and Wei Liulang also came to care for his brother every day.

As soon as he entered the residence, he heard what had happened and immediately went back to inform his father and brother.

Wei Xu rushed to the Protectorate with his three sons.

They did not dare to tell Matriarch Wei about this, nor did Su MO dare to tell his grandmother, afraid that the two elders would not be able to take it. Cheng Sang lived in the residence and they could not hide it from her.

The group went to her courtyard.

Zongzheng Wei was also there.

“Let’s talk inside,” Cheng Sang said.

Everyone followed her into the central room.

She and Zongzheng Hui sat down, and Wei Xu and Su Cheng sat on either side of them.

Cheng Sang looked at Su Xiaoxiao and the others. “You guys sit too.”

They nodded and sat down.

The maidservants brought her cold tea.

However, after such a big incident, no one was in the mood to drink tea.

Su Cheng was the first to speak. “I’ve asked a coroner to verify it. He was killed in the middle of the night. This is the murder weapon.”

As he spoke, he took out a white handkerchief and opened it to reveal a Pear Blossom Dart with blood on it.

“It hit his heart. There was no fight, and there were no traces of friction on his wrists and ankles from resisting. According to speculation, it was done by an acquaintance. The other party killed him when he was unprepared.”

Wei Liulang picked up the pear blossom dart and took a closer look. “Isn’t this Ling Yun’s dart? Did Ling Yun kill Xiahou Yan?”

Xiahou Yan knew Ling Yun.

This could be determined from Xiahou Yan’s shocked reaction when he saw

Ling Yun that day.

If it was Ling Yun’s, it matched the speculation of an acquaintance.

Ghostfear said angrily, “I knew that guy had ulterior motives. He’s not a good person! He really has ulterior motives for hiding beside us!”

Wei Xu glared at his eldest son.

Ghostfear filled his chest with anger. “Dad, even if you beat me up, I have to say it. Ling Yun must have killed Xiahou Yan and kidnapped three smelly farts!”

Wei Xu said in a low voice, “Who are you calling a little fart?”

Ghostfear choked guiltily.

Wei Qing said, “I think there might be more to this matter. If Ling Yun killed

Xiahou Yan, what was his motive? What’s his motive for taking Dahu, Erhu,

Xiaohu, and a horse?”‘

Wei Liulang corrected him. “Second Brother, that’s Sihu.”

Wei Qing gave his brother a speechless look.

Ghostfear said firmly, “He has been plotting against us from the beginning. On the surface, he helped us resolve Zhuge Qing’s problem, but in fact, he took the opportunity to stay in the Protector Duke’s Estate.”

Wei Xu pondered for a moment and said, “I believe Young Master Ling won’t do anything to hurt Dahu, Erhu and Xiaohu.”

Ghostfear took the pear blossom dart from Wei Liulang. “Dad, what does this dart say?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “The motive for taking Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu away can be understood as a hostage, but why a horse? Does Ling Yun lack a good horse? This is suspicious.

“Secondly, where will Ling Yun bring Dahu and the others? Back to Thousand Mountains Island? But now is not the time to land on the island.’

To go to Thousand Mountain Island, one had to pa.s.s by a special sea area. It was covered in fog all year round, and only in April and October would the fog disperse.

Occasionally, there would be an exception, but it would not last more than a month.

Su MO said, “I remember that Ling Yun once lived in the Western Jin as Nalan

Yun. Could it be that Ling Yun brought them to the Western Jin?”

Wei Liulang hurriedly asked Wei Qing, “Second Brother, where are the a.s.sa.s.sin and Mei Ji?”

Wei Qing said, “The second day after we discovered that there was a hidden force, they set off with the letter I wrote to His Majesty of the Western Jin, Yuwen Huai, and Yuwen Xi. I’m afraid they’ve already left the Great Zhou.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Moxie has a relations.h.i.+p with Nalan Yun, and it seems that their relations.h.i.+p is not shallow. In comparison, Ling Yun ignores Thousand Mountain Island every time it is mentioned.”

Wei Liulang said in surprise, “Could it be that he really went to find Moxie?”

Ghostfear said, “It’s also possible that he was pretending to ignore Thousand

Mountain Island.”

Wei Liulang said, “But he can’t go to the island in July!”

Wei Qing pondered and said, “Unless he has a way to pa.s.s through the thick fog.”

Su MO suggested, “They’ve only been gone for a day and a night. If we chase after them now, we might be able to catch up.”

“Where are we heading?” Wei Liulang asked.

Su MO said, “We’ll split into three groups. We’ll search the capital, go to the Western Jin, and go to the East Sea. In short, we can’t let go of any place related to Ling Yun.. What do you think, General?”
