The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 176 The Origin of the Dagger
Han Yi nodded, and immediately understood Xiao Yu's meaning, which was to demonstrate to Lu Shengming and the others.

Seeing that Xiao Yu was standing still, he stretched out his right hand to grab the dagger. Xiao Yu held the dagger and pointed it at him. As soon as he grasped Xiao Yu's wrist, he deliberately controlled his strength and did not use his own internal strength.

Xiao Yu turned to Lu Shengming and He Li and said: "You two can see clearly, if you snatch the dagger, the beggar will definitely avoid the blade, or any person will avoid it. His instinctive reaction is that he will hold the blade with his hand only when he is about to be attacked, because the hand is far less important than life-saving."

After her demonstration, not only Lu Shengming and He Li, but also the common people who watched the excitement outside also understood, and said with emotion: "My lord is really smart!"

"Then take a look, how can you be a regent if you are not good? How can you be a tutor at a young age? That must be something special!"

Hua Ye listened to their discussion, and his eyes fell on Xiao Yu, with appreciation that he didn't know.

However, when he saw that Han Yi was still holding Xiao Yu's wrist, his eyes suddenly sank.

Han Yi felt the overly slender wrists under his hands, and felt some indescribable emotions in his heart.

Xiao Yu moved slightly, "So I say it's unlikely that the beggars robbed it themselves, but I can't rule out the possibility that the two beggars divided the loot unevenly, fought violently, and killed by mistake."

Lu Shengming and He Li looked at each other, then cupped their hands to Xiao Yu: "Your Majesty is thoughtful, I admire you."

Xiao Yu: "I just thought about it for a while, there is nothing comprehensive."

After doing the autopsy, Wu stood up, exchanged in a low voice, walked over and said: "Reporting to the lord, this person should have been dead within an hour, and he was killed by a knife. Besides, there are many bruises on his body, and the time is not long. , so it is not very obvious, but it should be left today, and this person should have fought with someone before he died."

"Are there any other clues?"

Wu Zuo nodded: "There are many filaments in his nails, which should be pulled from the murderer's clothes. Judging from the material, it should be a relatively expensive brocade, which is very shiny."

As they spoke, they spread out the filaments and rags they picked out from the hands of beggars for several people to see.

Xiao Yu picked up the rag and took a look, "This is..."

Lu Shengming and He Li put their heads together and looked at it for a while, and they also thought it looked familiar, but they couldn't figure out what it was for a while.

"This is a brocade that is a specialty of the Feng Country, called Xueyue." Hua Ye, who had always been a transparent person, suddenly said.

"Snow Moon Brocade?"

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows, "I remember that the Xueyue Brocade is a tribute, and only a small part of it will be rewarded by the emperor to the courtiers below. After the death of the first emperor, His Majesty has not rewarded anyone with the Xueyue Brocade."

Lu Shengming clapped his hands: "That's right, it's the Xueyue Brocade. It is said that the color of this brocade is like the cool moonlight, and there seems to be water waves flowing between the movements. It is really beautiful. It was very popular among the women in the harem."

"Yes, the number given by the first emperor to his courtiers is extremely limited. Even if there are some, most people will confess them, and they dare not make them into clothes and wear them out to show off."

"The scope has been narrowed down to this point. I trouble you two adults to check it out. Which ones have the Xueyue brocade, and which ones use it. Also, this dagger is fine in workmanship but it is not a gift from the emperor. Take it to every A blacksmith shop asked... Don't let the jewelry shop go, check all the shops that may sell daggers, see where it comes from and who bought it."

"Yes!"

Lu Shengming responded, and summoned the yamen servants to put away the dagger, "Go, do as the prince said!"

"Master He, let people look at the people nearby, and ask if anyone has seen this beggar since two hours ago, and who has entered this alley."

"The next official understands, so let's do it."

He Li turned around to give instructions, Xiao Yu looked at the dead body on the ground, and felt a bad premonition in his heart.

"Master, there are two adults here, let's go back first, the alley is smelly and wet, staying for a long time will not be good for your health."

Xiao Yu didn't insist. Someone was in charge of investigating the case, so he didn't have to worry about it.

She turned to look at Hua Ye, "After reading this, the Second Highness won't be able to eat anymore, why don't we go back together?"

Hua Ye nodded, his face turned slightly pale: "Okay."

A group of four came out of the alley, and the people outside were being questioned one by one by the yamen servants. She took a look and was about to leave.

Suddenly there was a cry from the crowd, and then the crowd erupted again.

"Hey, who fainted?"

"What's going on? Whose family is this girl from?"

"Mother... woo woo, mother, wake up! Mother! woo woo—"

There was a little girl sobbing in the buzzing discussion, Xiao Yu felt a headache when she heard it, she couldn't help pinching the center of her brows, her voice was imperceptibly irritated: "What happened again?"

Han Yi took a look, "My lord, there is a woman who has passed out, and beside her is her child, who has been crying."

Xiao Yu frowned and turned around, only to see the little girl with two thongs, wearing a faded red gown, kneeling beside the girl, crying and rubbing her eyes.

After a while, he cried and hiccupped.

Xiao Yu opened her lips and was about to speak when Hua Ye beside her suddenly moved. She was startled when she saw Hua Ye walk up to the little girl, knelt down and reached out to gently touch her head, "Hey, don't Cry, brother, let someone send your mother to the hospital, okay?"

The little girl sobbed and said, "But we don't have any money..."

Hua Ye smiled, "I don't need your money, I'll pay."

"Thank you big brother!"

The little girl smiled through tears, took the woman's hand and called: "Mother, mother!"

Hua Ye said to Lin He: "Pick her up on your back and send her to the nearest medical clinic. I will pay for it."

"Yes."

Lin He squatted down, and other people put the man on his back. Lin He stood up with the man on his back, and someone pointed the way: "There is a medical clinic about ten steps across the street. It's quite big. You go there."

"Thank you."

Lin He left with his back on his back, and the little girl immediately ran to follow.

Hua Ye worried: "Run slowly, be careful not to fall!"

The little girl raised her little hand: "I know, big brother!"

Xiao Yu stood quietly by the side of the street, watching Hua Ye's gentle gaze on the little girl, and was slightly moved.

"The Second Highness is kind."

She said something softly, Hua Ye turned his head, a little embarrassed, but still walked over, and sighed: "I made the prince laugh, I just... remembered my mother, she is not in good health, often Get ill."

Xiao Yu's eyes moved slightly, and the expression on Hua Ye's face at this time did not seem to be fake. When those pure eyes mentioned mother, they were full of nostalgia and tenderness.

A person who is in awe of his mother will never be vicious and devoid of conscience.

At this moment, Xiao Yu's guard against Hua Ye dissipated a little.
