Chapter 368 Her Counterattack
In a courtyard to the east of the capital, King Nanjun stood by the pond, holding a handful of bait in his hand, and casually began to feed the fish.

The housekeeper stood behind him, and said respectfully, "Report to the lord, the second case has been solved."

Nanjun Wang paused when he cast the bait: "How did you break it?"

After the housekeeper finished speaking, the Nanjun King's face darkened, and he poured all the bait into the pond. Suddenly, the fish competed to gather around, and the Nanjun King's eyes became more and more gloomy.

"She's quite capable. How's the third case going?"

"Don't worry, my lord, there is no murderer at all this time. Forgive her for turning the world upside down, and we can't find out in a day. At that time, we will have a reason to execute that Yu Cufeng directly. When the time comes, Yu Cufeng will die. Even if Master Yu is the Emperor's man, I'm afraid there will be a rift with Yu Tixing. This rift lasts for a long time, and the relationship is delicate. I heard that the Emperor has a heart for Yu Xiaochu. To save face, the emperor will definitely stand up for his sweetheart, and then the relationship between the monarch and his ministers will be inappropriate." The reason why they are so troublesome is because they want to disintegrate Cangshu Kingdom without knowing how to fight each soldier.

When the time comes, they will reap the benefits from Xiliang, but they will not be as clever as Nanguo, who will be misled by their cleverness.

The King of Nanjun snorted: "It's still an hour before noon, why don't you hurry up?"

The butler immediately responded, took his leave, and left in a hurry.

It's just that after the butler came out of the other courtyard, he arrived at a corner, but he couldn't come out again.

A few black shadows disappeared without a sound.

The people were sent to Chu Qing, and they were quickly divided into two groups. The first group immediately found death row prisoners who matched their stature, and Chu Qing immediately disguised the corpse as a housekeeper, even the marks on the body were completely the same.

Immediately, Lang Feng took the real butler away, and quickly put the fake "dead" in a place.

When the news reached the king of Nanjun, the gongs and drums outside the government office rang, and someone complained that a corpse had been found.

According to Chu Qing's thoughts, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

After verifying the identity of the "dead man", Chu Qing directly sent someone to interrogate the king of Xuannan County.

At that time, Chu Qing checked directly at the entrance of an alley, so many people knew that the man who died was the steward of the South County King of Xiliang, and the news immediately flew all over the place as if he had grown wings.

When Nanjun Wang got the news, he smashed everything, "What's going on? How did Jing Xia do things? Why did he die suddenly?"

"This...this subordinate doesn't know either. I heard that Steward Jing was killed by someone with a single knife. The death is terrifying. Now it's spread all over the capital. I'm afraid the prince will have to go there in person. Otherwise, at any rate It's a close servant who has been with the prince for many years, if this spreads, it may affect your reputation, the prince." The confidant said slowly.

Nanjun King frowned, his face was extremely ugly, but he also knew that now was not the time to tear his face.

It has been a long time since he came to the capital, if he resists rashly, it is difficult to guarantee that the emperor will become suspicious.

Wouldn't all his previous calculations be in vain?
The king of Nanjun gritted his teeth and could only wave his hands: "Prepare the sedan chair and go to the Xingfu Yamen."

And the moment the King of Nanjun stepped into the office of Ti Xing, there were immediately hidden guards in plain clothes immediately surrounded the outside of the office, making it airtight and no one could enter.

At the same time, Lang Feng took Qin Sheng out of the city quickly and started to rescue Yu Kuifeng.

The king of Nanjun stepped into the government office and was taken to the lobby. Chu Qing was sitting in the lobby, and a corpse covered in a white cloth was in the hall.

Nanjun Wang stood up, followed by two servants, Nanjun Wang said generously: "Yu Tixing, I don't know why you called Xiaowang here?"

Chu Qing: "I don't know who is in front of me, does the prince know him?"

After finishing speaking, with a wave of his hand, a yamen servant stepped forward and lifted the white cloth in front of him, revealing the face of the "housekeeper" who couldn't rest assured.

Even though King Nanjun got the news one step earlier, he really saw the person who was alive half an hour ago, suddenly died, and frowned: "This is...Xiao Wang's housekeeper."

"In that case, is it okay for me to ask a few questions as usual?" Chu Qing's attitude was good, which made Nanjun Wang heave a sigh of relief.

Before he came in the sedan chair, he had wondered if Yu Xiaochu had discovered something, but when he actually saw someone, he felt that this person was just stupid.

She was so respectful to him, and even asked someone to move a stool for him.

Nanjun Wang's attitude is even better.

Only Chu Qing sighed, and said slowly: "I didn't want to disturb the prince, but... I'm afraid that if the prince doesn't make it clear, it will be very difficult."

"Huh?" Nanjun Wang frowned.

I saw that the original white cloth continued to be pulled down, and then a dagger was revealed, which was still stabbed in the butler's heart.

But that dagger looks very familiar.

There is a blood jade inlaid on it, which is the dagger that he never leaves his body.

King Nanjun quickly touched his waist, but it disappeared at some point.

"The lord understands what I mean, right? The lord has been in the capital for a long time, and he has made friends with many people. They have all seen lord, you have such a dagger by your side, but suddenly the housekeeper beside you died. Now, the sharp weapon that was killed belonged to the lord, so many people saw it, and I wanted to help the lord, but I was powerless, look, lord, what's going on here?" Chu Qingyu said earnestly, looking rather sympathetic For the sake of King Nanjun.

"This... This is definitely not what Xiao Wang did. Xiao Wang just sent him out to do some errands, why did he die suddenly?" The King of Nanjun was in a hurry, and he was also very surprised why his dagger disappeared?

It's fine if it's gone, but he even stabbed his own person to death.

"But I believe in the character of the prince, and the common people don't understand. Many people have seen the dead man. If you don't explain it, I will lose my black hat." Chu Qing sighed and continued to argue with the Nanjun king.

The king of Nanjun was at a disadvantage from the first sentence, so that he was led away by Chu Qing for more than half an hour.

When Nanjun Wang finally realized that something was wrong, he stood up suddenly: "Yu Tixing, this matter has nothing to do with Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang will give you an explanation."

"What is your lord doing?" Chu Qing looked over slowly.

"Naturally go back. Xiao Wang will take away the corpse first, and he will find the murderer and give it to you." King Nanjun waved his hand, and the two followers he brought immediately went to move the corpse.

But the yamen servant quickly stepped forward to block it.

Chu Qing said: "This is not possible, the prince is making this official difficult. If you take the corpse back, if you destroy the corpse and wipe out the traces, how can this official report back?"

"Why, do you still want to detain Xiao Wang?" Nanjun Wang sneered.

"My lord has wronged me, but... as the first suspect, I can only wrong you for two days, and I will definitely return my innocence." Chu said contemptuously.

"Xiao Wang is a prince! How dare you!" Nanjun Wang's face darkened, he did not expect that Yu Tixing was quite courageous.

"My lord was joking. In my eyes, there is only the difference between a criminal and a beloved. The emperor commits the same crime as the common people. Naturally, there is no difference between the poor and the noble." Chu Qing stood up and refused to budge.

"Bold!" Nanjun Wang's face darkened, "He belongs to Xiao Wang, why did Xiao Wang kill him?"

"This official is also very curious... so I need to investigate slowly, but I just need to wait patiently for two days. You are so uncooperative, my lord, do you have a guilty conscience?" Chu Qing led the Nanjun king step by step.

The king of Nanjun almost died of anger, but looked at Chu Qing who was not giving in at all, and frowned.

On the other side, five thousand imperial guards left the capital in a hurry, which attracted the attention of the Nanjun King's confidants, and immediately went to report.

It was only at this time that I learned that the King of Nanjun was invited to the government office.

The confidant's face suddenly changed, and he hurried to the government office.

It's just that when he arrived, he was directly stopped, and the next moment, he was directly taken away.

The confidants knew that something might have happened, but they didn't dare to make a rash decision without the order of the prince.

The entire Ti Xing Mansion was like an iron wall, and the people outside were trembling, and finally waited for another hour, but still did not see the prince coming out, gritted his teeth, and the confidant of Nanjun King went directly to the princess.

Just arrived at the other courtyard, and got a piece of news: the princess is missing.

The confidantes looked at each other, their faces changed drastically, and then they thought of the "housekeeper" who had a sudden accident, the "prince" who was invited for no reason, and the "princess" who disappeared. No matter how stupid they are, they know that they are afraid that something will be exposed.

They are in a hurry to take people to rush.

It's just that they were afraid of arousing suspicion, so they didn't keep many people in the capital. A thousand elite soldiers suddenly appeared and surrounded the entire courtyard.

In just over half an hour, all the subordinates of King Nanjun in the capital were arrested.

At the same time, the king of Nanjun was impatient by Chu Qing, and it had been half a day, and he was not willing to release him at all under this punishment.

The king of Nanjun got annoyed and stood up straight away: "Yu Tixing, Xiaowang wants to see your emperor!"

"What do you do when you see the emperor? This matter needs to be heard by the judge. Even if the emperor comes, he must follow the procedure." Chu Qing took a sip of tea, and there were already three empty pots beside him.

Normally, she would not have such patience, but at this moment, thinking that Mr. Yu is being rescued, she is in a good mood.

But when she was in a good mood, Nanjun Wang didn't have such patience.

Nanjun Wang tilted his head and frowned, "What time is it?"

Because of bickering with Chu Qing, time passed quickly, and he finally realized something was wrong at this moment.

The two attendants were not too clear about it, but at this moment, there was a sudden "bang" of fireworks outside.

The strange colorful fireworks just exploded in broad daylight.

As soon as Nanjun Wang Meifeng jumped, he saw Chu Qing suddenly laughing in a low voice, and he turned his head suddenly: "What are you laughing at?"

It's just that as soon as the king of Nanjun finished speaking, he suddenly heard a voice: "My lord!"

Nanjun Wang looked over suddenly, and saw Steward Jing, who was already dead, ran out from the back hall, but he was obviously alive in embarrassment.
