The king scrunched his long brows, "Your body is stiff. Just say that you've been dead for at least four hours. Have none of you noticed anything during this time?"

After a while, Dongfang Ze dragged him to the Jing Zhao manor. However, before Wei Jingcheng could say much, a prison guard came to report that Ruan Niang had hanged herself in her cell and rushed over.

"Little people... "Little me …" From the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the small wine jars on the table from time to time. Dongfang Ze noticed his actions and walked up to the tables and shook the wine jars. He coldly said, "You were drinking here last night?"

"Prince, spare me!" Both of the jailer's legs went soft as they knelt on the ground. "Putong!" As he knelt, the others also knelt down. They fearfully said: "The young ones think that nothing has happened in the night so they just drink … After drinking a few mouthfuls, who would have thought that Ruan Niang would suddenly … Kill yourself! " After saying that, he hurriedly added, "You have to know that this is going to happen. No matter what, the little kids won't dare to touch even a single drop of wine."

Dongfang Ze sneered, "So you're saying, before Ruan Niang kills herself, I should tell you guys, right? Then, the next time there are bandits here, should I inform you guys as well? "

The guard didn't dare to lift his head as he was scolded. He kept begging for mercy. Wei Jingcheng was aware of the situation so he said in fear: "It's all my fault for neglecting their duty and making them guilty!"

"You are guilty!" The messenger looked at him coldly and started walking towards the cell where Ruan Niang was being held. Everyone followed him in a hurry.

When Ruan Niang's stiff body entered the King's eyelid, his expression turned even uglier than before. He stared at the rope that had not been untied and asked, "Where did she get the rope from?"

The head of the prison said with caution: "I was talking about it before. Maybe she brought it with her. Because she is not a felon, she didn't examine it closely when she was taken in."

King Xin sneered as he stared at Wei Jingcheng and said, "Sir Wei, your cell is really too loose. Do you think there are criminals in this cell who carry swords, spears, swords, and halberds?"

Wei Jingcheng lowered his head, not daring to speak. At this time, Dongfang Ze had already checked the cell and found the letter that the jailer had intentionally placed there. He picked it up and read it before handing it to the king.

The king hadn't finished reading the letter when his brows creased into the shape of a square. "Did she really order Mirror Kill to kill Honored Tutor Wang?"

"According to what the letter said, she cannot bear the punishment, but she is afraid of implicating the Emerald Pavilion. After she writes this letter, she will hang herself."

The head of the prison guard rolled her eyes and raised her head, "I remember. Last night, Ruan Niang asked me for a pen and ink, saying that she wanted to send a letter to her family in a foreign land. Seeing that she was pitiful, I agreed.

Wei Jingcheng also read the letter and spoke as if he had already thought of it beforehand, "This Ruan Niang really can't see how she could be so ruthless. In order to help the Emerald Pavilion get rid of their dissension, she actually made Jing Yu threaten to lie. This also led to him being killed by Jing Yu." After saying that, he sighed, "Finally, everything has been brought to light."

According to the letter, Grand Tutor Wang wanted to secretly report this matter. When Jing Yu found out, he mistakenly killed Grand Tutor Wang during the dispute, and then escaped to the Pavilion of Emerald. Ruan Niang arranged a hiding place, and as for where she was hiding, and why those people from the East were staring at the Pavilion of Emerald, Ruan Niang didn't mention anything about it, she just said that she was the one who did all of this, and hoped that Jing Yu and the other people from the Pavilion of Emerald wouldn't be investigated.

After a brief moment of silence, Dongfang Ze suddenly asked, "Big Brother, do you believe in this letter?"

The king heard the message and waved the letter back to his hand. "What, you think this letter is fake?"

"I haven't compared Ruan Niang's handwriting, so I can't tell if the letter is real or fake, but …" "There is a place where you can tell me very clearly that Ruan Niang did not commit suicide!"

As these words were spoken, the eyes of Wei Jingcheng and the head of the prison jumped wildly. This matter was done in such a secretive manner, how would he know?

The prison guard bit his tongue and carefully said, "Your Royal Highness, the cell door was locked. Other than Ruan Niang, there was no one else in the cell. Please forgive me."

Dongfang Ze circled around the prison head. "I didn't say that she was killed by someone. Why are you in such a hurry to explain yourself? Can it be …" He said half-jokingly, "You were the one who killed him?"

This sentence was like a thunderclap that exploded in his ears. He was so scared that the jailer hurriedly kneeled down, "I have no enmity with Ruan Niang, how could I kill her. I have never killed anyone, please observe clearly, Your Highness."

One of the guards spoke up for him: "Reporting to the two lords and the masters, the leader was drunk with the children. He couldn't have killed them."

Dongfang Ze smiled and said, "I was just joking. Why are you being so serious? Stand up."

After the jailer began to tremble with fear, the messenger king said in a low voice, "You're still in the mood to joke at a time like this."

"Forgive me, big brother." Dongfang Ze smilingly cupped his hands together and said, "Saying that the jailer killed someone was a joke, but Ruan Niang really didn't commit suicide."

"Why are you so sure?" King Xin raised an eyebrow.

Dongfang Ze put away his mischievous smile, squatted down, and pointed at Ruan Niang's neck. "Look, Big Brother, it looks like there's only one trace, but there are actually two."

The messenger looked at it carefully, and there was indeed a slight difference, like there was a mark on one of the marks. He thought that Dongfang Ze had ordered someone to remove the rope, and said, "Look, this mark is a spiral shape, it matches the rope, but the other one doesn't have this mark."

The messenger king slightly nodded and said, "You're saying that someone killed Ruan Niang and then pretended to hang herself as a fake. As for that suicide note, it was also fake?"

Dongfang Ze said sternly, "I'm not sure if the letter is real or fake, but she must have been hurt by someone!"

He had intended to drag Ruan Niang out and bury her as soon as she died, but things were not going to turn out as planned. The two Kings of Trust had arrived at that time, and Dongfang Ze, who always acted impulsively, had actually found out the real cause of Ruan Niang's death. This was really troublesome.

Despite the panic in his heart, Wei Jingcheng remained calm on the surface. "The cell's door is closed, and the lock's not broken. How did the person who killed him come and go freely?"

The messenger glanced at him and said coldly, "Did Sir Wei forget that there is such a thing as a key in this world?"

A guard quickly said: "The key is in my custody. I haven't left my body before the value was changed."

Dongfang Ze stood up and sneered, "You guys are still unconscious from the alcohol. Not to mention stealing the keys, even if someone set fire to the cell, I'm afraid you still wouldn't know."
