Xiao Wanyao handled it very accurately, and soon Guo Ping raised his hands in surrender, he looked at her and felt cute, men like women who can be coquettish, and her coquettishness to you proves that she has you in her heart.

This is naturally what Guo Ping wants most, especially Xiao Wan

Yao was coquettish in front of him for the first time, and finally he compromised, "Okay, this palace promises you, you can let your subordinates do it." I'll send two trusted people to use for you. ”

Xiao Wanyao was still holding the shelf, but it was obvious that she could see a triumphant smile on her face. This naturally made Guo Ping happy.

She rolled her eyes and said, "I'm going to pick someone myself, you can just let him come." ”

Guo Ping paused slightly, looking at the smile on the corner of Xiao Wanyao's mouth, which was quite meaningful, knowing that there must be some bad idea in her little head, but unfortunately he had completely surrendered to her, so he went with her, "Okay, everything depends on you, as long as you stay in the East Palace obediently, all the people here are at your disposal, including this palace?" ”

Xiao Wanyao smiled proudly.

After Guo Ping left, Xiao Wanyao sent someone to call the Mandate of Heaven. Destiny was a little puzzled, what did the crown princess suddenly ask him to do? The person who came only said that the crown princess wanted to see him and didn't say anything.

When he came to the Minghe Palace, the Mandate of Heaven entered the main hall and knelt down in time, "See the crown princess." ”

Xiao Wanyao raised the corners of her eyebrows, pursed a faint smile, glanced at Zhu'er on the side, and slowly spoke, "Get up." ”

The Mandate of Heaven got up Xiao Wanyao and said faintly, "This palace needs someone to investigate a few things here, the prince asked this palace to choose a few people, and this palace was the first to think of you." ”

Heavenly Destiny thought about what it would be, and hurriedly saluted, "If there is anything that needs the service of subordinates, the crown princess can speak." He looked up and saw Xiao Wanyao's smile on her face, and there was a feeling that she had been designed, but she was now the crown princess and couldn't refuse, so she listened carefully to the following things.

Xiao Wanyao's face sank, staring at the Mandate of Heaven, "You should already know about the killing of the Cai family, and the crown prince is also secretly investigating, but in order not to make people suspicious, you will cooperate with the palace to investigate." ”

remembered that when she said to Guo Ping that she wanted to use the Mandate of Heaven, his surprised expression still wanted to laugh in her heart, and she also made a bet with Guo Ping to see who caught the black hand behind the scenes first. Guo Ping is in the dark, and she is in the light.

After listening to Xiao Wanyao's words, Destiny knew that it would definitely not be a good thing for her to call herself, and he naturally knew that the prince and Mingjun were investigating the Cai family, but he didn't know why Xiao Wanyao was so interested in this matter.

Seeing the thoughtful look of the Mandate of Heaven, Xiao Wanyao spoke, "You haven't answered Bengong's words yet." ”

Heavenly Destiny was stunned for a moment, returned to his senses and showed a bright smile, hugged his fists and said, "My subordinates are at the disposal of the crown princess." ”

At this moment, Master Li of the government had already sent the injury record book over as instructed, Xiao Wanyao stared at the attendant who sent things below, her face sank, and she said slightly angrily, "Didn't the palace ask you to find the work as well?" Why is there only such a thing? What about the work? ”

The attendant looked a little nervous, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Xiao Wanyao, "Master Li sent a servant to come over and say that he had gone home to visit his relatives, so he couldn't come over for the time being." I also hope that the crown princess will forgive her sins. ”

Xiao Wanyao was stunned, Zhu'er couldn't help but glance at her, the two of them looked at each other, this was clearly avoiding her, according to the law, the case was not closed, how could she be allowed to go home to visit relatives? And it's too much of a coincidence.

She took a deep breath, flipped through the medical record book, and saw the name of the last work, "Tian Kui?" With a calm face, she continued, "Who allowed him to go home to visit his family?" ”

"The minion doesn't know, when the minion went to his house to look for him, he was already gone." The squire replied in fear.

Tianfang, who was standing on the side, also frowned slightly, stared at the attendant with his hands on his chest, and saw that he was trembling all over, sweating on his forehead, obviously lying, and then looked at Xiao Wanyao, she was still flipping through the record book, as if thinking about something.

She then opened her mouth and asked, "When you went to the house, were there any other people in the family?" ”

"Back to the crown princess, he left with his wife and children. There is no one at home anymore. ”

Xiao Wanyao's eyes were sharp, her hand slapped on the table, she stood up suddenly, and shouted angrily, "Bold slave, dare to lie and deceive this palace, and ...... someone come."

The attendant outside immediately entered the house, and the little attendant who delivered the letter knelt on the ground in fright, and kept begging, "The princess spares her life, the slave really doesn't know anything, Master Li just asked the slave to deliver things, and the others really don't know." ”

Zhu'er helped Xiao Wanyao to walk in front of him and continued to ask, "Since you went to his house and said that there was no one in his house, why did you know that he was going home to visit his relatives?" If you had known that he was going home to visit his family, why bother to go to his house to investigate? It's clearly a lie, say it quickly, who made you say that. ”

Destiny's heart moved, and she reacted so shrewdly that she even noticed this detail. In the end, it was the first time I saw her so angry, this woman was far less gentle than she seemed on the surface, and I don't know how many people were deceived by her weak appearance.

The attendant didn't dare to lie anymore, and was about to cry out in fright, "Yes, it was Master Li who asked the servant to say so." The other minions really didn't know that the crown princess spared her life. ”

Hearing Lord Li, Xiao Wanyao breathed a sigh of relief, waved her hand and asked the guards to take the frightened attendant down, and the Mandate of Heaven stepped forward and said, "It seems that there is something wrong with Lord Li." ”

Xiao Wanyao glanced at him, turned around and sat down on the soft couch, "Destiny is going to find out who that Master Li is, and track down the whereabouts of that servant." Then I want to know who has been in and out of the government recently, and who is investigating this case. ”

Tianming nodded and turned to go out, and laughed after going out, this Xiao Wanyao is really interesting, her face changed faster than turning a book, the angry look just now, he thought she was really angry, but she became docile again in a moment. Quick thinking and decisive action will seem to be more interesting in the future.

After the Mandate of Heaven left, Xiao Wanyao instructed Zhu'er to go and see Lord Wang. The case of the Cai family's destruction has been handed over to Lord Wang for investigation, and the other princes are just cooperating, so they have to know what kind of person this Lord Wang is.

This night, according to the inspector, Lord Wang came out of the palace and got into the carriage back to the house, his face was full of tiredness, the emperor was very concerned about the case of the Cai family, and the queen also summoned him every day to inquire about the case, and the princess Ye Qing, the queen's father, naturally refused to relax.

He knew that although the emperor handed over the case to him, these people like the queen, the prince, the emperor, and the prince who investigated the case were all people who were older than his official position and above him, and it was not a good thing for anyone to offend. Just maneuvering around these people is enough for him to be tired, where is there time to investigate the case.

In many cases, the evidence and clues are handed in by the people below, and he then conveys them to those in the palace according to these.

Just when Lord Wang was sitting in the carriage and took a little time to think about this case, the carriage suddenly stopped, and he opened his eyes, according to the time, he should not have arrived home yet.

Before he could come to his senses, a man in black had already entered the carriage and put a dagger around his neck, and the guards outside had already noticed that the carriage was surrounded.

Lord Wang panicked and said, "Who is coming?" ”

The man in black lowered his voice and said, "Lord Wang, let your people continue to hurry, I just have a few words to say to you." It won't hurt you. ”

He frowned, the man in black who suddenly appeared here must have come for the Cai family's case, he was not a coward, but in this deceitful officialdom, he had no choice but to become sleek and sophisticated. Who didn't think about serving the country with loyalty before becoming an official, and after becoming an official, he had to face too much helplessness.

Lord Wang calmed down and ordered the people outside to continue on their way. Don't make a noise.

The carriage moved slowly again, and Lord Wang said to the man in black beside him, "Say something quickly." ”

The dagger in the hand of the man in black was taken down from Lord Wang's neck, "I have long heard that Lord Wang is upright and not afraid of power, and I admire him." ”

Lord Wang didn't appreciate it, and said with a calm face, "You should be here for the case of the Cai family's extermination, just say something." ”

The man in black paused, and then said, "Lord Wang knows that there are many inconsistencies in the medical records of those subordinates of the Cai family who were killed. Moreover, there is only one person who examines the injury, which is completely inconsistent with the laws of the Chu State, and Lord Wang is invited to investigate it in detail. ”

Lord Wang was slightly stunned and narrowed his eyes, "Is there such a thing?" "More than ten days after the murder of the Cai family, he didn't even have time to see the corpses with his own eyes.

The man in black nodded, "There must be something strange about this matter, and Lord Wang should also pay attention to the people around him." Don't let those innocent people die in vain. With that, he turned and left the carriage, and disappeared into the night.

Seeing the man in black leaving, the surrounding guards hurriedly asked, "Is Lord Wang okay?" The subordinates sent someone to chase the man in black. ”

He sat in the car and said contemplatively, "No, let him go." Tell the other people that this matter must not be leaked out, and go back to the house as much as possible. ”

After returning to his house, he summoned Lord Li and inquired about the record book. There was not only one record book, but there was also one here, which was exactly the same as the one Xiao Wanyao got. It was also sent by Master Li, and the envoy only carefully looked at the medical records on it, and did not have any suspicions about the fraud.

"All the people who have investigated the bodies after the crime have been registered, and the official will personally conduct an autopsy tomorrow. When the time comes, Master Li will call the person who examines the injury. After Lord Wang gave the order, he let Master Li leave.

Early in the morning of the second day, Cui'er hurriedly broke in from outside, Zhu'er had just freshened up for Xiao Wanyao and was about to go out with the water in the copper basin, when she was hit by Cui'er, the copper basin was knocked off, and the water spilled Zhu'er's body.

The noise made by the copper basin made Xiao Wanyao inside frown, and then heard Zhu'er's complaint, "You girl, why are you always so flustered, how many times have I told you, why don't you change?" ”

Cui'er didn't care about talking to Zhu'er, "I have something important to say to the crown princess, you should go and change your clothes quickly." With that, he walked inside.

Xiao Wanyao had already heard them and walked out of the inner room, "Cui'er, what's going on?" ”

Cui'er gasped slightly, and Zhu'er saw that Cui'er looked like something important had happened, and also walked over, "Princess, it's not good, the palace is on fire." ”

Xiao Wanyao paused for a moment and shouted badly, "Those corpses ...... Jewel go and call the Destiny of Heaven. ”

Zhu'er replied, "The crown princess is destined to go out to run errands, and she is not in the palace." ”

Chapter 199 Assumptions

Xiao Wanyao walked to the main hall and sat down, she couldn't go out in person now, and the destiny was not here, she told Cui'er to hurry up and inform the prince.

After Cui'er left, Zhu'er saw Xiao Wanyao frowning, holding one hand gently, as if blaming herself, and said, "Blame me for not thinking so much, Zhu'er, when you went to see Lord Wang yesterday, you told him to let him check those corpses and the medical record book?" ”

Zhu'er nodded, this is what Xiao Wanyao told her to do, and naturally it has been done, "The slave maid has told Lord Wang according to what the crown princess said. Judging by his appearance, he must have never been to the morgue before. ”

Xiao Wanyao took a deep breath and lamented in miscalculation, "That's right, someone must know that Lord Wang is going to inspect the corpse, so he will destroy the corpse." At the end, only the medical record book can be used as evidence, and what is written on it does not correspond to the facts at all......"

Speaking of this, she suddenly paused, her raised hand stopped in the air, as if she thought of something, her whole body stopped, and her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, like a hunter who had found prey, shining brightly. Slowly, the corners of Xiao Wanyao's mouth slightly curled, "I know what secret there is here." ”

Zhu'er still looked at Xiao Wanyao with a confused expression, but looking at her excited appearance, as if she had discovered something, she was slightly relieved, "What did the crown princess think?" ”

Xiao Wanyao glanced up at Zhu'er, "You go and get the medical record book." ”

Zhu'er nodded, and quickly took the record book, Xiao Wanyao looked through the pages one by one, which recorded the casualties of each corpse, and many of the causes of death were one-stroke deaths, but there were exceptions, but the techniques were quite neat, some wounds were on the head, and some were in the heart.

These are all fatal injuries, those are all unarmed subordinates of the Cai family, if they are professional killers, one move is enough to kill them. And it is true that these corpses are all like this, but why are there so many wounds that do not exist at all when there are no medical records?

Just as Xiao Wanyao was thinking, a little maid came in from outside and replied, "Crown princess, bring a knife to protect the destiny of heaven and ask to see you." ”

Xiao Wanyao closed the record book, the corners of her mouth hooked up a faint smile, didn't there happen to be a professional killer who could answer her question right now, how could she forget the nature of the destiny? "Let him in."

Destiny still had a cynical expression, stepped into the room, and saw Xiao Wanyao's eyes focused on herself, with questions in her expression, so she took the initiative to ask, "What is there to ask the crown princess?" ”

Xiao Wanyao smiled faintly, "When you came back, you should report to me about Lord Li, why did you ask me?" ”

The corners of Tianfang's eyebrows were raised, and he sat down on the chair on one side, "The subordinates are willing to answer the princess's questions first, and then talk about the things that the subordinates have found." ”

Xiao Wanyao nodded in agreement, and then asked, "When you were a killer, did you kill those who didn't have the ability to resist?" ”

Heavenly Destiny was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Xiao Wanyao to ask such a question, so he naturally had doubts in his heart, and didn't answer directly, "I don't know why the crown princess asked like this?" ”

Xiao Wanyao knew that a person like the Mandate of Heaven would definitely not reveal any information lightly, not to mention that she and the killer of Qingfeng Yuan had the kind of 'friendship' before, although the Mandate of Heaven was now assigned by herself, he might not be honest with herself, she thought for a while and decided to explain her reasons first.

"I found some strange knife wounds from the Cai family's slain subordinates, these knife wounds are not fatal at all, but they are very strange. So I want to ask you, if you did the Cai family's case this time, would you do it? ”

Xiao Wanyao's eyes were filled with suspicion and provocation, she naturally wouldn't believe that the Mandate of Heaven would do such a thing, because the Mandate of Heaven is now the crown prince's person, and the crown prince should inherit the throne originally, as long as he waits peacefully until the emperor dies, and then inherits it naturally, why bother to cause unnecessary trouble to himself.

But there was an incredible look on Destiny's face, and his voice became strange, "Oh my God! The crown princess is suspicious of me? ”

Xiao Wanyao giggled, did not deny it, took a sip of tea, and fixed her sharp gaze over the teacup to the Mandate of Heaven.

Seeing her smiling, the Mandate of Heaven suddenly realized, now she is not doubting herself, but seems to be playing, so she sighed, "The princess can eat indiscriminately, but you must not talk nonsense, this has to be spread, and the Mandate of Heaven is not enough to cut off a hundred heads." ”

She put down the teacup and straightened up, "Don't worry, there's no one else here." I won't cut off your head, Hongu is just assuming, if you do it, will it be so? ”

Destiny paused for a moment, frowned and thought for a while, and then said, "If it is us, the other party is defenseless and has no power to fight back, so it is naturally a one-move kill, and the killer will naturally kill as quickly as possible, so that it is not easy for others to find out, and if you leave an extra wound, it is likely that the other party will find clues." ”

Xiao Wanyao nodded in agreement, she thought so too, so she felt that those wounds were particularly strange, and at a glance, she knew that someone deliberately forged them, but why did she have to forge them? And the fake is not a fatal wound.

She continued to ask, "But what you did was too neat, wouldn't it also make the other party suspect that it was a killer?" ”

Heavenly Destiny shrugged his shoulders with a smile, and said nonchalantly, "In this world, there are not only killers in Qingfeng Garden, there are also many worldly masters in other places, you can't think of Qingfeng Garden as soon as you hear that killers kill people." ”

Destiny's casual words made Xiao Wanyao stunned, she stood up suddenly, her face was solemn, she had been speculating whether this matter was for the prince, so it must be.

Seeing her strange expression, Tianfang put away his smile and stood up, "Didn't the crown princess think of something?" ”

Xiao Wanyao glanced at him, "Those people are here for you." ”

Destiny opened its mouth wide and stared at her incredulously, then smiled again, "Why? ”

"Because you're killers, and you're the prince's people now." They pretended to be killers to kill people, and blamed you on them, so they will naturally suspect the prince. The emperor must have had that injury record book, and now they have destroyed the corpse, that is, in the end, only that record book will become evidence. ”

Destiny knew that the crown prince and the crown princess were investigating this matter, but they didn't know the specific content, and when they heard her say this, they were even more puzzled, "I don't understand what the crown princess is talking about." ”

Xiao Wanyao stood up sternly, and her face gradually turned cold, "Do you have any special tricks for killing people in the Mandate of Heaven, or do you have your own special mark?" ”

Heavenly Destiny stared at Xiao Wanyao in surprise, "How does the crown princess know?" ”

Xiao Wanyao spoke faster and walked in front of the Mandate of Heaven, "Don't ask so much first, tell me what I am?" ”

Destiny briefly described their killing methods, although they will also try their best to kill quickly, but their killers in Qingfeng Yuan will have slightly different wounds from other killers when they kill. And this difference can only be seen by the people in their Qingfeng Garden, and only they know it.

This technique started from the bottom when Qingfeng Yuan trained killers, so even if it was deliberately changed, sometimes it couldn't help but be revealed, in this way, as long as it was a person from Qingfeng Yuan, it was easy to see if it was your own person who did it.

Xiao Wanyao clenched her fists tightly, blaming herself in her heart, she thought of it too late, and gave the other party a chance. Originally, I wanted Lord Wang to check the wound and then present it to the emperor, but I didn't expect to make the opponent one step faster.

Destiny and Zhu'er didn't know what she was thinking, so they could only look at each other.

At this time, there was a voice outside, "The prince has arrived." ”

Xiao Wanyao was suddenly stunned, and when she walked to the door, she happened to meet Guo Ping, she saluted and said, "The concubine sees His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Guo Ping helped her up, her face was in a hurry, and her breathing was a little short, as if she was rushing to this side as soon as she got the news, "The palace already knows about the fire in the palace, the palace has just come back from there, this fire came strangely, and most of the burned are the corpses in the morgue, it seems that it should be the mastermind behind it, they want to destroy the corpses." ”

Guo Ping and Xiao Wanyao thought together, he helped her and wanted her to sit back in her seat, but she grabbed his arm and hurriedly said, "This matter is indeed for you, I have examined those corpses, and I have also seen the injury record book, there are some unnecessary wounds on it, and the person who caused these wounds is the killer of Qingfeng Yuan." ”

Guo Ping stared at her in shock, Xiao Wanyao continued, speaking quickly, "Those wounds are not stored on the corpse, only in the record book. It must have been deliberately written by the pretence of examining the corpse, and now I can't find it. In this way, the record book becomes the only evidence. The people of Qingfeng Yuan are all your subordinates now, and if the emperor knows, he will definitely suspect you. ”

Guo Ping was stunned after hearing this, not knowing what to say. Xiao Wanyao couldn't care about his mood at the moment, and tried hard to think about what else was missing, if he didn't take a step faster, I was afraid it would be really bad for the prince.

She paced back and forth around the Prince, frowning and thinking hard. "There must be something else, something else that we don't perceive. There must be some evidence that we didn't find. ”

Suddenly, Xiao Wanyao clapped her hands and said excitedly, "I know, there is still a way to find out the person behind it." ”

Everyone present focused their attention on her, and Xiao Wanyao turned to face them, with a touch of cold arrogance on her face, as if she was dominating the world.

Guo Ping asked, "What should we do?" ”

Xiao Wanyao smiled mysteriously, "We still have one more evidence, they can't destroy it at all!" And it's definitely not easy to get there. Everyone present looked at each other, and Xiao Wanyao continued, "Have you forgotten? In addition to these subordinates of the Cai family, there are more than a dozen corpses that are not in the mansion. ”

Guo Ping suddenly realized, "The corpses of Lord Cai and his family have been closely protected by the Praetorian Guards, and ordinary people can't touch their corpses at all. ”

Xiao Wanyao nodded in agreement, and then said, "We don't have the right to see those corpses either, if we really want to see them, only Lord Wang has such a privilege." Therefore, we have to ask Lord Wang to check it himself, and we have to take the work with us and write a new medical record book. ”

Guo Ping nodded, "Lord Wang, I can go and tell him, I have some friendship with him, and besides, this is originally for the case, he shouldn't refuse." ”R1154
