Chapter 709
"It's been tricked." Prime Minister Xiao's eyes turned cold, "Among the few people, only Zhang San knows the details, Shen Cheng deliberately put him last, just to lure us to take action."

The dark guard trembled in his heart, and said, "We swear to be loyal to the Xiao family to the death, and we will never betray the Xiao family."

Prime Minister Xiao stood coldly under the night, with a cold voice: "Xiao Wu will not betray the Xiao family, but he is a member of the Xiao family, even if it is a corpse, it will make the Xiao family fall for others."

Hearing that, the dark guard turned pale.

But as he said, Xiao Wu would not betray the Xiao family. As soon as he was caught, he bit off the poison sac hidden in his mouth and died of the poison on the spot.

When the Xiao family sent a secret guard to assassinate, it alarmed the Zhang family. Zhang San's wife, Wang Shi, looked at the black and purple face of the secret guard and trembled with fright.

A hidden guard comforted her and said, "We were sent by Mr. Shen to protect you. It's alright now. Don't be afraid."

There was still a dead body lying in the yard, plus three hidden guards of unknown origin. Wang's body trembled, and he clutched the clothes around his heart tightly, unable to speak a word.

One of the hidden guards saw her frightened like this, and said to the other two: "You stay in the Zhang family, in case the Xiao family sends someone to assassinate again, I will take his body back to find Mu Feng first."

"Okay." The two nodded.

The hidden guard grabbed Xiao Wu's body and headed towards the Princess Mansion. When Mu Feng heard about it, he frowned, looked at the bedroom, and said, "Send the body to Dali Temple first."

"Yes."

On the second day, Rong Jiu and Shen Cheng woke up early, and when they opened the door of the palace, they saw Mu Feng waiting outside.

Rong Jiu was slightly stunned: "What happened?"

Mu Feng said: "Last night, the Xiao family indeed sent secret guards to assassinate Zhang San's family members. We caught one, but he bit the poison sack and committed suicide."

Shen Cheng looked down, and asked, "Where's the corpse?"

"It has been sent to Dali Temple."

Shen Cheng didn't say anything more, after breakfast, he went to Dali Temple with Rong Jiu, and took Uncle Zhu and the police to Zhang's house.

After one night, Mrs. Wang had regained her composure, but when she suddenly saw the official came to the door, she felt a little flustered, pursed her lips, and said nervously: "A few adults came to the door, what's the matter?"

Rong Jiu smiled softly: "We are all from Dali Temple, and we are ordered to investigate the case of the female ghost's resurrection, which involves your husband Zhang San. We are here today to open the coffin for an autopsy."

Every midnight, the female ghost would come back to life. Now Chang'an is discussing this case. Mrs. Wang knows some secrets. These days, she has been flustered.

Wang tried her best to suppress the trembling in her voice: "My husband was drunk and fell into the river by mistake. What does it have to do with this case? Why do you need to open the coffin for an autopsy?"

"Zhang San was Xiao Jue's servant before he was alive?"

"Yes, we were originally servants of the Xiao family, but later, the Xiao family returned the contract of sale to us, and we left the Xiao family."

"Why did the Xiao family return the contract of sale to you?"

"Because because of it," Wang's eyes dodged, his palms were sweating, and he muttered for a long time, but he couldn't say a word.

"Because Zhang San worked as a minion for a tiger and helped Xiao Jue rob the women of the people, which caused the girl of the Xue family to lose her reputation. She committed suicide and died. As a future trouble, all the servants who knew about it were driven out of the Xiao family, and then they died in accidents one by one."

Rong Jiu spoke out for her, Wang's eyes widened, and a layer of gray appeared on his face. After a long time, he said with tears in his eyes: "Since you all know, why are you still looking for me? I just want to Living a peaceful and stable life, why do you want to come here again?"
