Su Zhiwei, who was a little weak-hearted by Su Zhiyuan's way of thinking, turned around and glared at his maid.

She seemed to blame her maid, why didn't she speak for herself?

The little maid was given to her after she returned to the Su family, it was a new maid, she didn't know so much about Su Zhiwei's character, and she was glared at by Su Zhiwei at the moment, and she didn't know how to help her speak, but buried her head heavily in her chest.

"Useless stuff." Su Zhiwei looked at the maid so timidly and muttered.

"If my sister wants to teach this maid how to serve her master, you can take it back to her yard to teach, there is no need to be here in my sister's place, let my sister watch you teach her, if my sister really wants my sister to help you teach this maid, you can speak directly." Su Zhiyuan said while sharing snacks with Qiu Xue and the two of them.

Qiu Xue was not polite to Su Zhiyuan, anyway, when only the two of them were there in private, these two people got along like sisters.

Seeing that Qiu Xue was so good, the maid's eyes were full of envy, but she didn't dare to raise her head to look at Su Zhiwei.

Su Zhiwei was so angry with Su Zhiyuan that she couldn't even speak, she snorted, flicked her sleeve, and prepared to beat the maid.

"Sister, if you want to beat this maid, you can take it back to your room and teach her a good lesson, but if you want to stand at the door of my yard and beat her, this is really not possible, if this is spread out, I think that this maid has offended me, you are teaching her for me, for no reason, my sister is not willing to offend the people next to me." Su Zhiyuan kept the movement of holding his chin just now, looking at her so calmly.

Su Zhiwei was said by Su Zhiyuan's words, her hand was in mid-air, stretched or contracted, and she had an embarrassing sense of dilemma.

Squinting her eyes, Su Zhiwei flicked her sleeve, put her hand down, and then turned around and left.

Su Zhiyuan just watched her leave calmly, and then moved his head.

"After the autumn snow, let's leave these snacks and send them back." Su Zhiyuan said and took out all the snacks, put them on the table, and then handed the food box back to Qiu Xue.

In such a huge mansion as Sikong Mubai, is there still a lack of such a food box? Qiu Xue's eyes were full of puzzlement when she took the food box handed over by Su Zhiyuan with both hands.

However, the next moment, when she saw the note that had been put in the food box, Qiu Xue seemed to suddenly understand something.

She hurriedly answered, and then rushed out with the food box.

Now the entire capital knows that the emperor is going to investigate the disaster relief silver, and the officials in the entire court are in danger.

Now when all the people saw Sikong Mubai, they avoided him as if they saw a plague god.

The most frightened person, in addition to the corrupt officials, is also the crown prince.

The crown prince called Qi Dongya into his mansion, and then looked up at him: "Now Sikong Mubai wants to investigate this matter, if he really finds out, it will not be of any benefit to us, do you have any way?" ”

Qi Dongya frowned after hearing this, what could he do?

"Your Highness, don't worry, those officials are corrupt is their own business, what does it have to do with you, Your Highness?" Qi Dongya looked at the prince calmly and said quietly.

When he heard this, the prince sighed: "Although this is what he said, if they confess to me in the end, it will not be good for us at all." ”

"All people are creatures who seek advantage and avoid disadvantage, if they can give His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in exchange for a lighter price, then they will definitely give it to Your Highness." Qi Dongya looked at the prince calmly and said.

Qi Dongya's words made the prince feel that he had been enlightened and suddenly realized.

"They still have so many families in the capital, if they only find out about corruption, it will be just dismissal and exile for them, but if they really confess me, then I will definitely die with them at all costs." The prince narrowed his eyes and said with a cruel look in his eyes.

Qi Dongya just looked at the prince like this, fortunately, the prince is still a teachable son, but after saying these three or two sentences, he can immediately understand what he means by this.

"But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, think about this matter carefully, even if the emperor handed over this matter to him because Sikong Mubai reported this matter first, but why did you find out about the people related to you because of this matter?" Qi Dongya said quietly.

When the prince heard this, the whole person instantly understood something.

"Do you mean to say that in this matter, my father has actually been suspicious for a long time, so he deliberately did not tell me about this, so that I was powerless?" The prince narrowed his eyes, looked at Qi Dongya and asked.

Qi Dongya nodded slightly.

"It doesn't mean that Your Majesty must think so about this matter, Your Highness, you still need to calm down now and think about what to do next." Qi Dongya reminded him quietly.

The words have been reminded to this point, if you can't react to anything, then you will really be a prince in vain.

As everyone knows, now here in Sikong Mubai, the investigation of this matter has reached a certain stage.

Sikong Mubai looked at Zhao Yuan, his most powerful henchman at the moment.

"This matter you investigated was from the head of the household, and the silver taels were not allocated, right?" Sikong Mubai took the things in his hand, looked at the people below and asked.

Zhao Yuan replied yes.

"When the subordinates investigated, they found that this household secretary was the first to receive His Majesty's holy decree, but no one from here down has received this decree, and even received a tael of silver." When Zhao Yuan said this, he was even a little angry.

People are greedy for a little bit, but they never expected that this person would swallow all the tens of thousands of silver allocated by the emperor into his pocket.

You must know that these tens of thousands of taels of silver are also a lot of money for the national treasury.

"Your Highness, have you ever thought about something? Li Yuanhang, the head of the household, what is the use of him asking for so many silver taels? Greedy for so many silver taels at once, if it is not the east window incident, it is fine, if the east window incident happens, it will fall into today's field, years of hard work will come to naught, not to mention, and even his own life is in danger, why should he be greedy for so many silver taels at once? Zhao Yuan looked at Sikong Mubai with some uneasiness and asked.

When Sikong Mubai heard this, he nodded slightly.

What Zhao Yuan said was not unreasonable.

"Where is Li Yuanhang now?" Sikong Mubai looked up at him and asked.

"When we found out the conclusive evidence, we put him under house arrest in his Shangshu Mansion, and now he is still in the Shangshu Mansion." Zhao Yuan lowered his head and said.

Although conclusive evidence was found that Li Yuanhang did this, when he was not able to get a definite confession, this matter could not be reported to the emperor for the time being.

"Now that there are results, we should also go and see if he has anything to explain to us." Sikong Mubai stood up as he spoke, tidied up his clothes, and motioned for Lu Yuan to set off.

However, just as he stepped out of the door, he saw a servant outside carrying a food box.

When he saw the familiar food box, Sikong Mubai's eyes narrowed, and he hurriedly stepped forward, reached out and gently picked up the food box from the hand of the servant.

"The people of the Su family said that Miss Su likes these snacks very much, and said thank you Your Highness." The servant said as Sikong Mubai took the things.

Sikong Mubai was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then quickly opened the food box, and sure enough, he saw a note lying quietly under the food box.

He carefully picked up the note, and as he unfolded it, he saw a line on it.

"Be careful and wait for you to come back."

There are only these eight words, but it seems to make Sikong Mubai's body instantly full of strength.

"Tell my cook at home, make some novel snacks in the next two days, and send them to Miss Su's house." Sikong Mubai said as he carefully stuffed the note into the purse hanging from his waist.

This is just a small note, which has already been treasured by their Royal Highness, if that young lady stands in front of His Royal Highness, what kind of treasure will it become?

The domestic servant, who had just arrived not long ago, thought secretly in his heart when he saw this scene.

He may have just seen what it was like when His Royal Highness favored his wife.

However, just when Sikong Mubai went out and was about to arrive at Shangshu Mansion, he saw that there were already a lot of people gathered at the door of Shangshu Mansion.

What happened? When he saw this scene, a trace of uneasiness flashed in Sikong Mubai's heart, and he secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good.

When he walked quickly to the door of Shangshu Mansion, he found that Jing Zhaoyin had already appeared here.

When Jing Zhaoyin saw Sikong Mubai, his face changed slightly, and he arched his hand and whispered, "Third Highness, you are here." ”

"What's going on, why are you here?" Sikong Mubai said as he turned his head to look at the wide open door, where there were many officials walking back and forth.

Jing Zhaoyin knew when he saw Sikong Mubai asking this that he didn't know what happened to Li Yuanhang's family.

He hurriedly pulled Sikong Mubai aside.

"Your Royal Highness may not know yet, this Lord Li Yuanhang's family was suddenly assassinated last night and was killed cleanly, and none of the eighty-one people in the family were spared, even the newborn child who was still in infancy was assassinated." Jing Zhaoyin sighed again and again as he spoke, this is simply a sin.

When Sikong Mubai heard this, his whole head was blank, how could he be like this?

"What about the murderer? Has the murderer been caught? Sikong Mubai turned his head to look at Jing Zhaoyin and asked.

Jing Zhaoyin shook his head: "No, we received a report from their housekeeper this morning, and none of the maids and servants who heard about the night vigil heard any movement last night, so I think it should have been done in the middle of the night when everyone was asleep." ”

Although there are night watchmen, they can only target ordinary thieves, and for those who really have certain skills, these night watchmen are all useless.

When he heard this, Sikong Mubai's heart was cold, and he secretly screamed badly.

"Your Highness, it seems that your face is not very good, why don't you go back and rest first, if there is anything here, I will send someone to your house to tell you in detail." Jing Zhaoyin turned his head and saw two officials standing beside him.

Thinking that those people had something else to do with Jing Zhaoyin, Sikong Mubai narrowed his eyes: "I don't know if I can go in and take a look." ”

"It's not impossible to take a look, it's just that the scene inside is too bloody, I'm afraid it's not good for Your Highness."

However, he neglected that Sikong Mubai was a person who had been on the battlefield for so many years, and he was not afraid of these at all.
