Chapter 137 Wood Killing Branch
When they saw what Lan Ling took out, everyone's already ugly faces darkened even more.
Jiang Wan looked curiously at the skinny branch in Lan Ling's hand. Although she didn't know what it was, her years of experience in TV novels made her feel that the branch was most likely poisonous.
Sure enough, the next moment, Bai Zhuo's angry voice rang out.
"Mushazhi? Why is this thing in Xiaoxue's bedroom?"
Wood kills branches?
Why is this name so strange?
Jiang Wan asked Yu Rou curiously, "Xiao Rou, do you know what this wood-killing branch is?"
Yu Rou nodded and whispered, "This is a branch of a tree called the Wood Killer Tree. This tree is poisonous. The toxicity does not have much effect on orcs and orcs, but it is very deadly to females.
As long as the female smells the smell of this wood-killing tree, she will be poisoned, and doctors cannot detect it in a short period of time. Only after the female dies can doctors find out. "
so smart?
Jiang Wan was surprised and became a little interested in this magical thing. He couldn't help but want to get closer to take a closer look.
But before she could get close, Lan Ling had already put the wood killing branch into his space ring, and Jiang Wan could only look away with regret.
"The servant told me that she found it under the table under the window of the bedroom after my mother passed away. I think someone must have secretly put the wood-killing tree into my mother's bedroom. My mother inhaled the poison of the wood-killing tree, and the doctor didn't find out what was causing it, so he couldn't treat her. After my mother died, the murderer sneaked into the palace and stole the wood-killing tree, but accidentally left this small branch behind."
Lan Ling expressed his guess.
The servant had stayed in the palace for so many years and had always wanted to investigate this matter, or report it to his elder brother and himself. However, they had a rift with their father because of their younger brother's affairs, and they rarely came back after leaving the palace.
In addition, they were all orcs, and the queen mother was female after all. Even after her death, they could not enter her bedroom at will, so the servant could not see them.
If he hadn't missed his mother that time and secretly went to his mother's bedroom at night, he would probably never know that his mother was murdered by someone!
"Did the waitress say anything else? Where is she now?"
Lan Ling shook his head at his eldest brother: "She is dead. I left suddenly two years ago and didn't have time to take her out of the palace to protect her. In addition, she had lost her memory for so long. When I recovered my memory and went to look for her, I found out that she had died of illness not long after I left two years ago."
Hearing this, the others felt a chill down their spines, and suddenly realized that they seemed to have been under surveillance.
Who on earth could have such great ability?
Everyone present was no novice, so naturally they would not believe that the servant died of illness. It seemed that the murderer back then must have discovered that she had noticed something and told Lan Ling, so he urgently threw Lan Ling out and then killed her to silence her.
What a cruel thought.
Bai Zhuo's face looked very ugly. The three Yin Yi brothers were still young at that time, and they were not allowed to approach their mother, so it was normal that they did not notice anything unusual.
But I had clearly visited my sister that year, and I didn't notice anything unusual.
He was so derelict in his duty.
Who on earth dared to attack the Bai family?
That person had better pray that he won't be found out, otherwise he can just wait for the Bai family's crazy revenge.
The few of them discussed for a long time, but apart from the information that Yin Yi had found, there was no other useful information.
Apart from the Hou family, they did not find any relationship with anyone else.
"In that case, let's start with the Hou family."
Bai Hao said, no matter what, since so many clues point to the Hou family, then they should start with the Hou family. Maybe they can find some other clues from the Hou family that can help them find the mastermind behind the scenes.
"No."
Bai Li's opinion was the opposite of his brother's. "I think it's better for us to pretend that we know nothing now, and investigate again secretly to see if there are any other clues.
If we target the Hou family directly, we might just fall into the trap of the mastermind behind the scenes.
Although the Hou family is not enough to prove our existence, we can still take action, but the person in the palace will definitely not just watch us deal with the Hou family."
After these words were spoken, everyone else fell silent.
Indeed, although the Hou family was nothing in their eyes, they could not help but take the royal family seriously.
Although the current queen is only a half-orc, she is the biological mother of the seventh prince.
Even if the emperor did not consider the queen's face, he would not watch them attack the Hou family for the sake of the seventh prince's face.
And those old guys in the House of Representatives.
After so many years, the Mingxi Empire finally had an orc who had regressed to his ancestral form, and whose beast form was the most noble black.
They have always believed that the Seventh Prince will be the leader who will lead the Mingxi Empire to create glory and reach another height, so naturally they will not allow them to take action against the Seventh Prince's in-laws.
The person behind the scenes really has a good plan.
All the clues point to the Hou family, making it impossible for them to take action even if they want to.
If they couldn't touch the Hou family, they wouldn't be able to continue their investigation. After all, apart from the Hou family, they currently didn't have any other useful clues.
Jiang Wan and Yu Rou watched from the side for a long time, and seeing that everyone looked unhappy, they did not interrupt.
Jiang Wan didn't understand, and based on what he heard, he couldn't give any constructive suggestions.
Yu Rou thought that she had no ability to help in this matter, and it would be better to leave these matters to the orcs at home.
After discussion, everyone decided to let Yin Yi report the results of the investigation directly to the military and the House of Parliament.
Since the clues are so obvious, instead of hiding it to themselves, they would take action against the Hou family in private and cause dissatisfaction among others.
It would be better to just make all the clues public and act openly.
In this way, even if the royal family and the House of Parliament have objections, they will not be able to intervene directly. Moreover, in order to help the Hou family clear suspicion, those people will be more active than them in investigating the information about the mastermind behind the scenes.
After all, the Hou family cannot afford to commit any of the crimes, including murdering royal family members and military generals, betraying the Mingxi Empire, and colluding with the Mifa Empire.
Once it is announced, the Hou family will become the public enemy of the entire Mingxi Empire, and even the Seventh Prince will not be able to save them.
The families of the soldiers who died in the war with the Mifa Empire will not let go of those who colluded with the Mifa Empire.
