“I…”
Xia Huafeng listened to his words and inwardly cursed a bad turn of events.
Instinctively wanting to say he was busy, very busy, yet before the words could leave his mouth, his younger brother simply did not give him the chance to speak.
He just placed a large hand on his shoulder.
“I know Brother must be free. Lately, several murder cases have happened in the capital, each one involving the whole family getting killed. Elder Brother asked me to investigate, and you know how I’m unfamiliar with life in the capital, so come with me.”

As he spoke, he pulled Xia Huafeng towards the door.
Xia Huafeng:
A person who spends his days running around the alleys of the capital telling him he’s unfamiliar with the city.
How could he say such a conscience-defying thing?
He really wanted to curse out this nonsensical brother. Yet, he had indeed heard of the recent murder cases in the capital and intended to investigate. freeweɓnovel.cøm
Now that his younger brother mentioned it, he might as well join him.
“Who were the victims?”
The horse carriage came to a deserted street. As Xia Huafeng asked the person beside him, he lifted the carriage curtain to look outside.
“This is…”
Seeing the character for “Tisi” on the gate and the entrance guarded by the official army, he truly paused for a moment, then turned his head to look at Xia Junfeng inside the carriage.
“You’re not seeing things, this is the mansion of Eastern Zheng Tisi. Thirty-seven people from their family were killed, from the Old Madam to the maids and servants. The only one alive is the infant in swaddling clothes,” Xia Junfeng said with a somewhat somber tone.
“How did they die?”
Xia Huafeng stepped out of the carriage and asked again.
“Poisoned,” said Xia Junfeng.
Because it was poison, the infant who was still in swaddling clothes couldn’t eat solid food, and before the poisoned milk could be fed, the child survived, the only one not poisoned to death.
“Phew!”
Xia Huafeng let out a heavy sigh.
“Tisi Mansion is under the jurisdiction of the Third Prince and is loyal to him. It seems these people had a vendetta against the Third Prince.”
“Pretty much,” Xia Junfeng did not deny.
In such times, no one found the death of so many surprising.
This was the so-called disaster of the city gate bringing calamity to the fish in the moat. Although Lord Tisi was loyal and upright, for some unspeakable purposes, there were still those who would strike at him, even to the point of wiping out his entire family.
Fortunately, a child was left behind, thus not extinguishing the family line completely.
“What about the child?”
Xia Huafeng asked softly. The dead could not be brought back to life, there was no rush in asking about them, but the child must live well and be raised into adulthood.
“The child has already been sent away. There will be people to take good care of him,” Xia Junfeng said.
And it wasn’t just one child. The surviving children from several families that had been wiped out had also been sent away. As for the specific location, that would have to be Ding Nuo Academy, where there were people specializing in the care of children.
“Let’s not talk about the children. I called you here not for them, but for these bodies.”
“You want me to handle the bodies?”
Considering the possibility, Xia Huafeng involuntarily twitched the corner of his mouth.
Surely not, his brother had plenty of people under his command, couldn’t he find a few to transport some corpses?
“Xia Junfeng, I’m not without matters to attend to, you know. I’m very busy.”
Those words were no lie—he had a pile of matters himself. Had it not been for persuading General Qi, he would have had no time for playing chess and was indeed very busy.
