Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 315 Arrows
After the Laba Festival, the New Year atmosphere in the city became more and more intense.

On the tenth day of the lunar month, Zhao Shuangzhi got married and Zhao Wangshu was pregnant. Yun Hao was worried that she would go to the ceremony and drank the wedding wine alone.

A few days later, Zhao Shuangzhi came to visit Zhao Wangshu.

After getting married, Zhao Shuangzhi's face glowed with the joy of a newlywed, "Sister Shu, I should have come to see you a long time ago. I have been busy preparing for the homecoming banquet these days, and I haven't been able to spare time."

Zhao Wangshu smiled and asked her to sit down, "As a newlywed, you naturally put your husband's family first, I can understand that."

"I came here today to thank Sister Shu." Zhao Shuangzhi said straight to the point.

"Thank me for what?" Zhao Wangshu asked in confusion.

"If Sister Shu hadn't asked my husband to write a storybook, how could I have married so beautifully?" Zhao Shuangzhi smiled gratefully.

Only then did Zhao Wangshu remember this and waved his hand with a smile, "That's because Lieutenant Lin has good writing skills and wrote a book of good words. It has nothing to do with me. It's your husband you should thank."

"My husband should be grateful, and so should Sister Shu." Zhao Shuangzhi said as he took out the baby clothes he made. "My nvhong is quite good. I made some clothes for the baby. Please don't dislike it, Sister Shu."

Zhao Wangshu took the clothes and took a closer look. He found that the stitching was fine and the styles were novel. He could see that Zhao Shuangzhi put his heart into it, "Sister Shuangzhi's craftsmanship is really getting better and better. I like this dress very much. I will do it for the baby." Thanks to her aunt."

Zhao Shuangzhi smiled, "It's an honor for me to make clothes for the baby."

If it weren't for Yun Hao's support, Lin Qian could only take the meager salary of Lieutenant Zhenguo and have no actual position. Although he is only an eighth-grade official, he is already an official at any rate.

"Sister Shuangzhi is interested. When the baby is born, I will definitely tell her how much her aunt loves her." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

The two talked for a while, and then Zhao Shuangzhi stood up and left.

"Luzhi, send Miss Lin out." Zhao Wangshu ordered.

Luzhi sent Zhao Shuangzhi away, and Lan Fen brought in warm milk.

After drinking milk, Zhao Wangshu felt sleepy again and went back to his room to sleep.

Zhao Wangshu's life was peaceful and peaceful, while Yun Hao's life was extremely busy.

Prince Baojun accompanied Qin Youzi back to Qiaoguo's palace to celebrate the Laba Festival. When he returned home in the evening, he was assassinated not far from the palace.

Qin Youzi was just frightened, and King Baojun was hit by an arrow in his arm.

The emperor was furious and went to court early, "Jiang Yin, are the Feng Ji Army just a bunch of drunkards? They actually committed crimes in broad daylight, or committed crimes openly near Baojun Prince's Mansion. This is simply outrageous!"

Jiang Yin's scalp went numb after hearing this. Not long ago, the matter between Wu Gu and his son had come to an end temporarily due to Prince Liangbi's plea. He thought he could escape, but he did not expect that he would be involved in the assassination of Prince Bao. in the event.

He was well aware of the seriousness of the situation, so he immediately went out to kneel down, and apologized sincerely: "It's all minor officials who have neglected their duties. I beg the emperor to punish me."

The emperor glanced at him coldly, "Punishment? What's the point of me punishing you? If I were the one who was assassinated today, how many heads do you, Jiang Yin, have enough to chop off?"

Jiang Yin was sweating profusely and didn't dare to raise his head, "It's hard to escape the blame for the death of a humble minister."

The emperor took a deep breath and said, "I will give you three days to find out this matter. If there is no result, you will not come to see me."

"Yes, I accept the order." Jiang Yin did not dare to slack off and immediately received the order to investigate.

Although the emperor handed over the investigation of the case to Jiang Yin, he did not think that Jiang Yin could find it out. After the court meeting, he called Yun Hao and asked, "Jingyao, what do you think of this assassination?" Yun Hao bowed. Shen said: "Your Majesty, this seems to be an assassination of Prince Bao, but there may be a deeper motive behind it."

"Check, give me a thorough investigation, no matter who it is, kill without mercy." A cold look flashed in the emperor's eyes, "Jingyao, you conduct a thorough investigation in secret, and you must give me a satisfactory answer."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yun Hao took the order and left.

The emperor does not set a time limit, he can investigate in depth.

Three days passed quickly, and Jiang Yin found nothing. The emperor was extremely disappointed with him, "Jiang Yin, I trusted you and asked you to investigate this matter, but now you have given me no clue. You You failed to live up to my expectations of you.”

Jiang Yin knelt on the ground. In the cold winter, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He knew the emperor's temper well. If this matter could not be found out, his future and even life might be threatened. "Your Majesty, I deserve death for my crime." , but please give me some more time, and I will do my best to find out the truth."

The emperor was silent for a moment, with a trace of hesitation flashing in his eyes, but in the end he nodded, "Okay, I will give you another five days. After five days, I will see the results."

Use Jiang Yin as a cover-up so that Yun Hao can hide the truth from others.

Jiang Yin was overjoyed and kowtowed quickly to thank him, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations."

And Yun Hao found some subtle clues, "Your Majesty, the arrow used to assassinate Prince Bao, although its appearance is ordinary and has no special markings, the material of the arrow handle..."

"Oh? What's so special about the material?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, slightly curious.

"Your Majesty, this kind of wood is unique to Prince Xianli's fiefdom and is extremely difficult to find elsewhere." Yun Hao lowered his eyes, his voice calm but a little firm.

His words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

The emperor's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he stared at Yun Hao closely, "You mean, the murderer who assassinated Prince Bao may be related to Prince Xianli?"

"I just found some clues, but I can't confirm that the murderer is Prince Xianli. However, this kind of wood is indeed unique to Prince Xianli's fief. I think this is at least worth continuing to investigate." Yun Hao said flatly. typical.

He only talked about the clues he found and never made any judgments, lest the emperor suspect that he had other agendas.

The emperor refused to let him go, "How big do you think this might be?"

"Your Majesty, Prince Xianli was assassinated not long ago." Yun Hao reminded him.

Whether these two assassinations were arranged by the same person, or whether Prince Bao assassinated Prince Xianli first, and then Prince Xianli came back with revenge, these possibilities are all under Yun Hao's consideration.

But he would not tell the emperor these thoughts directly, but let the emperor think for himself.

The emperor was silent for a long time before he said: "Both Prince Xianli and Prince Bao will check it out."

Although he prefers Prince Bao, it doesn't mean that he can just watch Prince Bao kill Prince Xianli.

To put it bluntly, he is the emperor and can decide the life and death of his ministers, but he cannot tolerate brothers killing each other.

"I obey the decree." Yun Hao replied.

"Go ahead." The emperor waved his hand, signaling Yun Hao to step back.

"I excuse myself." Yun Hao saluted and exited the hall.

After leaving the palace, Yun Hao did not investigate the case, but went home. In the past few days, he had left early and returned late, without even having a good talk with Wang Shu.
