The unlucky county princess and the crown prince

Just after King Jiang Xia led his army to the south of Xinjiang, another earth shaking event happened in the capital. Mr. Xu, the cabinet bachelor, was attacked by a group of robbers on the way back to his home and died.

When Bai Lixue learned the news, she was playing chess with the prince in the East Palace Flower hall. The pieces in her hand slipped onto the chessboard, and she was surprised to say, "master Xu was attacked and died?"

Mo Qi said, "yes, on his way back to his house, when he passed Wuyi lane, he was suddenly robbed and attacked by a gang of bandits. His family was defeated and Xu died."

Wuyi lane? That place is remote and sparsely populated. How can Mr. Xu pass by? Bai Lixue has doubts.

Mo Qi said, "my subordinates have already checked. Lord Xu is going to visit an old friend in the west of the city. When he returns to the mansion, he has to pass through Wuyi lane. There is nothing suspicious about it."

Xuanyuanjue's expression only slightly after a meal, on the recovery of peacetime leisurely calm, "what's the news in the palace?"

"The emperor was so angry that he ordered Dali temple and shuntianfu to arrest and bring to justice the culprit who killed the bachelor."

Dali temple and shuntianfu went out at the same time to thoroughly investigate the same case, which is rare enough to show the emperor's attention to the case.

Bai Lixue was lost in thought. When Xu was assassinated, she always felt that there was no simple reason behind the incident. "I want to go to Wuyi lane."

Xuanyuanjue seems to have guessed that Xueer has this idea for a long time

The news of the death of the cabinet's Bachelor quickly spread across the country, causing a thousand waves.

This year's imperial capital is just a wave of undeveloped, a wave of rising again, the war in southern Xinjiang is still undeveloped, and the cabinet bachelor died for no reason. When I heard that the emperor heard the news, he was so angry that he was so angry that he endangered the dragon body that he had to strike the court to recuperate.

Ganye rebellion, the killing of the bachelor, the emperor's dragon body, three major events happened one after another, and even the people began to talk about it. Is there something unclean that affected the Donglan national movement?

Otherwise, the weather has been favorable for so many years, and the whole world has been flat. How can disasters happen one after another after the new year?

Wuyi lane is a spacious but secluded street. In the early days of prosperity, people came and went in an endless stream, but that was many years ago.

Now that the center of the imperial capital has moved to the East, most of the city is gradually abandoned. However, due to the wide road, there are still carriages of dignitaries passing by occasionally.

When Baili snow came, it had been cleared up. Besides the dried up blood on the ground, it could not be seen that there had been a violent robbery.

According to Mo Qi, seven servants and a driver died in Xu's house. The result of the autopsy in shuntianfu is that Xu was stabbed in the heart and lost his breath on the spot.

Baili Xue carefully observed the surrounding terrain, and suddenly said: "even if Jiading doesn't know martial arts, the guards who go out of the house are usually tall and powerful, so they don't have any fighting power. Is there anyone dead among the robbers?"

Mo Qi shook his head, "no, none of them, but when the robbery happened, there were witnesses."

Bai Lixue's eyes brightened, "who is it?"

"A little beggar." Mo Qi said: "at that time, he was sleeping nearby. Suddenly, he was awakened by a cry for help. When he sneaked over, he happened to witness the murder."

"Where is the little beggar now?" It's unfortunate for the little beggar to witness the murder, but it's a great blessing for the Xu family.

"In shuntianfu." Mo Qi's eyes flashed a regret, "but even if the Crown Princess saw him, it didn't help."

Hundred Li snow pick eyebrow, "how to say this?"

"He's crazy."

Hundred Li snow tiny Zheng, immediately clear voice, "witness a row of nine people dead murder case, must be scared?"

"Yes, at the moment, people are locked up in shuntianfu prison, but they are already crazy and incoherent. Shuntianfu Yin and the Prime Minister of Dali temple have continued to talk, but nothing has been asked."

Baili Xue looked at the knife mark on the wall. Only the master could see it. There was a fierce fight here. She said slowly: "the case is not clear. It's decided that it was the robber. How can we make a conclusion?"

"All the valuable things in Xu's carriage have been looted. It looks like murder on the surface." Mo Qi said in a deep voice.

Bai Lixue sneered, "what valuable things can you take with you when you come out to visit your old friends?"

"The princess suspected it was just a cover up?" Mo Qi Su knows that the crown princess is very intelligent and asks.

"Not doubting, but affirming." Bai Lixue said quickly: "the real purpose is to assassinate Xu Da Shi."

Although Mo Qi had already guessed this possibility in his mind, Lord Xu was a cabinet bachelor and stood on the side of the emperor. Although there were constant infighting in the court, he was neither a member of the eastern palace nor a member of the Luowang party. As long as he didn't involve the fierce battle of seizing the throne, other court battles didn't need to be life and death.

In the gap between Bai Lixue and Mo Qi, Mo Lin has carefully checked all the traces left on the mottled wall, bowing his hand to the crown princess, "it's a master who has done this to the crown princess, and only one person has done it."

Bai Lixue sneered, "kill a group of Fu Ding who can't do martial arts, and a bachelor who has no power to bind a chicken. Do you still need to use experts?"

Mo Qiling said in a voice: "so, they want to kill with one strike. They don't leave any life for Lord Xu."

Bai Lixue said faintly: "Mr. Xu is in the cabinet. If he has a chance to escape, he will not give any chance to these robbers. So, there is only one chance. They did it."

Mo Qi and Mo Lin have suspicious objects in their hearts, but the Crown Princess doesn't say anything. As the prince's bodyguards, they naturally know what to say and what not to say.

"What's the progress of Dali temple and shuntianfu?" Bai Lixue thought and asked.

Mo Qi said: "after Xu was assassinated and killed, the nine gates in the capital were sealed. All the people entering and leaving the city need to be closely checked. Dali temple and shuntianfu sent a large number of Yamen officers to search for the robbers in the city."

Seeing that the crown princess was silent, Mo Qi asked, "how likely is it that the Crown Princess thinks the robbers are still in the city?"

In the old days, the swallow in front of Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people. Wuyi lane was considered to have bad luck here. Therefore, the center of Wang capital moved eastward. It was once a beautiful and prosperous place, but now it is so depressed.

Bai Lixue looked at the long lane and said, "although Wuyi lane is remote, it's also in the capital. No matter how slow shuntianfu and the guards move, they will have time to block the gate, so as not to let a gangster who killed the bachelor go out of the city so openly."
