Since Xie Qiao had asked about the death of this ghoul, she could only agree to his request.

“I will do my best. However, this black-clothed man has a tight mouth. I am afraid that it will not be easy to interrogate him,” Xie Qiao added.

“As long as you do your best, it will be fine… It is better than me following him and not even having the ability to interrogate him…” Fu Ankai was very reasonable.

Seeing him like that, Xie Qiao felt even more pitiful for this person.

“Then can you tell me why you got into trouble? Also, do you know who the master behind this person is?” Xie Qiao asked again.

After Xie Qiao said that, Zhao Xuanjing said coldly, “I’m afraid it’s Prince Rong.”

Xie Qiao also thought of Prince Rong.

The capital was not close to the sea. Among the people who came to the capital this time, only Prince Rong was generous. Previously, he had given the Xie family a very precious coral, but it was transferred to the emperor. However, it was said that other than the coral, during the time Prince Rong was in the capital, he had also given out many pearls. The gifts for each family were extremely generous.

This person was the most suspicious.

Hearing the Crown Prince’s words, the expression on the black-clothed man’s face explained everything.

“I’ve been following him all this time. I heard him chatting with others, and only then did I know how unjust my family was!

“Two years ago, my family received a lot of sea goods. Even the blood-red coral, there were several of them. There were also a few pearls the size of longans. Although these were priceless, they were all done by me, but they were only small businesses. I was only the middleman. The fishermen and I who went into the sea did not get much money… The businesses were also set by someone earlier, so I did not dare to break the contract and not sell them.

“But one day, someone suddenly came and said that he wanted to take my things. The price he offered was extremely low. That person had a fierce look on his face and looked like he was not someone to be trifled with. However, I really did not dare to go against him, so I could only tell the truth. The other party did not say anything at that time, but who knew that he would actually do such a thing!

“When I heard the truth, I was so angry that I almost went crazy, but I was unable to do anything.

“There are many of them. They usually practice martial arts in the same place and are occasionally called on missions. Most of them do some killing. Although I became a ghoul, I was still afraid after seeing those things.

“Only once, this person was called over by their master. It was a woman…” Fu Ankai added.

When Xie Qiao heard that, she was also a little suspicious. “A woman?”

Could it be Princess Rong?

However, although Princess Rong’s appearance was not very good, she did not seem to have that much evil energy. She should not have been stained with so much blood, right?

“Yes, it was a woman. They called her Her Highness… She seemed to be a great consort. That person was very noble!” Fu Ankai hurriedly added, “At that time, I bared my fangs and brandished my claws, wanting to take revenge. I did not expect that the great consort had a very powerful talisman on her. I couldn’t get close to her at all and almost vanished into thin air…”

Xie Qiao was also shocked.

Great Consort Hui seemed to have come to the capital with him this time.

Great Consort Hui did not come from a noble background, and it was said that she was not in good health. Thus, when Prince Rong was young, he was sent to be raised by Great Consort Mei. Great Consort Mei was the oddball who used bone powder to fertilize flowers when Xie Qiao entered the palace earlier.

It was said that Prince Rong was not close to his birth mother when he was young, but when the emperor ascended the throne, Prince Rong made a mistake and was banished from the capital. However, he invited Great Consort Hui and brought her to the fief to support him.

The emperor pitied his young age and agreed.

This person had always been invisible. It was estimated that even the empress’s mother-in-law could not have recalled such a person.

As expected, it was like the saying, “a dog that bites does not bark”. Who would have thought that this person had actually done so many disgusting things?
