The cannon fodder stepmother dressed as the villain Zai Zai

Chapter 174 A huge case

Mr. Zhou and Commander Wang looked at each other and narrowed their eyes.

Mr. Zhou thought that he and Sheng Lixuan were old acquaintances, and they were both important officials in the imperial court, so he didn't care about it.

His expression suddenly darkened and he became serious.

The whole person said in a strong voice:

"Master Marquis, I'm telling you the truth. Something big happened in the city today, a big thing!"

"I've been busy since early in the morning, and I don't know how much I traveled on this case."

"The emperor was furious, and the Queen was so angry that people fainted after hearing this."

"You don't know, the city has been turned upside down today!"

As soon as I heard about such a big mess.

Sheng Lixuan's expression straightened, he composed himself and asked again:

"Your Excellency, you might as well speak frankly. What case? Since even His Majesty and the Queen are so frightened and angry."

Mr. Zhou pursed his lips, sighed a little, and continued:

"Why, Lord Marquis doesn't know yet?"

"A tragic incident occurred in the Princess Mansion this morning! Princess Xuan Qing, who is famous all over the world, was actually strangled to death on the bed!"

Princess Xuan Qing is dead? !

This incident was like a thunder on the ground.

Everyone present was shocked.

Sheng Lixuan stood there, silent for a while.

He didn't expect it to be all right.

That unruly princess was actually killed!

No wonder your majesty and empress were shocked.

It's broad daylight and the world is bright.

At the feet of the emperor, they have always regarded their precious daughter as a treasure.

He was killed!

Of course you should be angry.

No wonder the Yulin Army and Dali Temple jointly handled the case.

Such a big scene! Sheng Lixuan was slightly shocked in his heart.

These words fell on Xu Yaqin's ears.

Her response was greater than anyone else's.

Xu Yaqin's heart suddenly skipped a beat when she heard this.

She knew it was bad. She only focused on handling the affairs of the Hou Mansion, but ignored Ye Jing...

The princess was killed and strangled...

Isn't this exactly the same as the plot in the novel?

Ye Jing, the natural genius in solving crimes, finally took the wrong path.

I can't stand this unruly princess.

He killed her in anger...

Xu Yaqin felt regretful in her heart and shook her head involuntarily.

I couldn't help but walked forward, saw the two adults, and asked eagerly:

"What about Mr. Ye? Where is Mr. Ye?"

Commander Wang on the side raised his head, looked at Xu Yaqin seriously, and said in a deep voice:

"Mrs. Ye's question is a good one. That's exactly what's strange about this matter."

"We searched the entire princess mansion and found no trace of Mr. Ye. The servants and maids in the mansion said."

"Master Ye and Her Royal Highness the Princess had a fight last night."

"The noise continued until dawn. When it was dawn, Mr. Ye looked in a panic. He left the house and never came back..."

Sheng Yue on the side couldn't help but open his mouth when he heard this.

He made a sound, stroked his chin alone, and whispered:

"Strange... Could it be Master Ye who killed Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

"There have always been rumors in Yandu City that Her Royal Highness the Princess and Lord Ye are actually not in harmony with each other. Her Royal Highness the Princess often beats and scolds him."

"Huh?" He saw the commander of the Royal Forest Army giving him a fierce look.

Sheng Yue realized for a moment that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly waved his hand and said:

"Ah, no no!"

"I was talking nonsense, I was talking nonsense."

The commander-in-chief's expression gradually relaxed, he sighed a little, and said, "That's probably it!"

"Master Zhou and I also feel that this matter should be done by Master Ye."

"Otherwise, looking at Yandu City, who would dare to commit murder against the princess for no reason?"

Mrs. Yueyao was a little confused and jumped out and said:

"Since you two adults already know that the murderer is Mr. Ye, you should go and arrest Mr. Ye, right?"

"Why did you come to my Marquis' Mansion and ask Mrs. Ye to come out to meet you?"

Mr. Zhou raised his eyes and said:

"It is precisely because we want to capture Mr. Ye that we asked Mrs. Xu to come out and see if we can provide any clues..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Hou Mansion looked at Xu Yaqin and couldn't help but be stunned.

I don’t know what the relationship between Ye Jing and this Mrs. Ye is.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Xu Yaqin asked directly:

"No, why are you looking at me? How do I know where Mr. Ye is now?"

Mr. Zhou paused, calmed down for a moment and said:

"Mrs. Ye, don't be anxious. It's just that Mr. Ye has very few contacts in Yandu City and doesn't have many friends."

"According to the information we got, he has always had a good relationship with you, Mrs. Ye, so we came here to inquire."

Upon hearing that this was a routine inquiry, everyone in the Hou Mansion sweated, and then they slowly breathed a sigh of relief and their expressions gradually calmed down.

However, Xu Yaqin showed complicated emotions at this time, and her face was a little ugly.

She recalled the plot in the original novel:

Lord Ye, who impulsively killed Her Royal Highness the Princess, later went on the run.

Because he was not well received in the princess's house, his emotions had accumulated for a long time and could not be suppressed.

So she had a private relationship with a singer in Yandu City.

The two people even have feelings for each other.

In the novel, Mr. Ye fled to the world with a singing girl.

In the end, he was caught by officers and soldiers.

It's just that the singer was pregnant when she ran away.

The two were chased by officers and soldiers, and finally both died under the insurgents.

But Ye Jing, who had just learned that he had a child, had to face this situation.

It can be said that he never died with his eyes in peace, how could he end up in such a miserable way!

Although Xu Yaqin did not have a good impression of Princess Xuanqing.

But killing for life is a principle that has not changed since ancient times.

And if I let it go, Master Ye and the poor singer will probably end up like this.

If Xu Yaqin helped, Ye Jing would not be able to escape the death penalty.

But at least we can try our best to save the singer.

It won't make his Ye family extinct, and at least they will still have flesh and blood alive.

This is the best ending Xu Yaqin can think of.

Before Sheng Lixuan spoke, Mrs. Yueyao calmed down a little and said to the two adults:

"You two, then you have found the wrong person."

"Mrs. Ye and I have been inseparable these days."

"You haven't even left the gate of the Marquis Mansion, how could it be related to Lord Ye?"

Mr. Zhou nodded and said, "I think so."

"But this is just a routine inquiry. Please don't be angry."
