"After his lordship had a fight with the young master, he ordered some bodyguards to send him back home. But he didn't expect that young master should send the servants to surround the guards halfway and let the young master take a chance to get rid of them. Young master ran into an alley in a hurry for fear of being caught up by the guards. After the guards got rid of the servants and ran into an alley beside to chase young master, they heard a scream of young master, and then there was a loud noise of "splash". The guards found young master's shoes by the well and felt uncomfortable, so they jumped into the well quickly and found that young master really fell into the well, but only the shoes that had been saved. When they managed to get the young master out of the well, he has already passed away..."
"Have the guards found any trace of someone else near the well?" With a frown on his face, Liu Yinfeng asked in a low voice.
The servant shook his head, "the guards said no."
Hearing this, Liu Yinfeng frowned even deeper. He waved his hand and said, "you can leave now."
A bad foreboding came to Liu Yinfeng's mind when he saw the servant lift the dead body of Liu Huansheng out of the room. He was afraid that what he guessed in the carriage was true. Although Liu Huansheng was stupid, he couldn't not see the huge well. Someone must have done it on purpose. With the prestige of the Liu clan in the city, who wants to do harm to Liu Huansheng needs to weigh the pros and cons. It must be the seventh prince who did this. No one else. What was worse, the seventh Prince acted more quickly and maliciously than he had thought. What would Liu Jin's response be if he knew that it was the seventh prince who killed his son after he woke up.
Meanwhile, a group of people who were discussing what had happened at the gate of the Lord Hua Guo's mansion heard from a servant that Mr. Liu ran away on the way he was escorted back to the mansion by the guards, but he fell into the well and drowned to death.
The man who brought back the news was none other than Hua Kang, the husband of Shen Yilan.
"Drowned to death?" Everyone in the hall was surprised. "If Liu Huansheng hadn't been drunk, he wouldn't have been so blind that he couldn't even see the well in bright daylight, right?"
The Lady Hua Guo held the string of buddha beads with a frown on her face. She stopped rotating the beads in her hands and looked up at Yun Shang. Then she looked away after exchanging a look with her.
"Was he killed? Even though Liu Huansheng was absurd and audacious to offend many people for eating, drinking and gambling, who dares to get crossed with the Liu clan and the seventh prince in the Jin City? Many people wanted to kill Liu Huansheng, but few of them were willing to do it. What happened this time? " Shen Yilan frowned and muttered.
"The seventh Prince has been arrested long ago by his highness. However, his majesty came in person and hoped that his highness could spare him. Since he just reunited with his majesty and it was not good for him to have conflict with his majesty, his highness agreed to it. That's why his majesty tried his best to hide what the seventh prince did and keep him alive. " Yun Shang took a cup of tea and took a sip from it.
People were all shocked, but still a bit confused, "but what does it have to do with Liu Huansheng's death?"
Yun Shang let out a soft sigh. "Judging from the fact that the seventh Prince dared to kill his brother, he is not that uninterested in the throne as everyone imagined. On the contrary, he has a strong desire to take that position. I've investigated the seventh Prince's reputation among people and they all thought he was a good man. He is just a prince who is weak, but he has such a good reputation. He must have made great efforts to earn it. However, his uncle Liu Huansheng was an expert on eating, drinking, gambling and frequenting the brothels. Besides, he often offended a lot of people because of his social status, and his reputation was extremely bad. He is the uncle of the seventh prince. He must have done something bad in the name of the seventh prince's uncle. How long do you think the seventh prince will tolerate him? "
Shen Yilan was suddenly enlightened, "You are right! The seventh prince just thinks that his uncle
is still under his tolerance before, but this incident is really too big, and it's related to the Lord Hua Guo's mansion. So the seventh prince really can't stand it this time, so he decided to solve it and solve it once and for all?"
