Chapter Thirty-Four: All Hands Lost

"What's going on with Xiao Shizi and the Seventeenth Prince?"

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao quietly got closer, "Xiao Shizi said, Qi Luo's side has already found out, and he will come to the study house to gather later, and the seventeenth prince has been staring at Master Shan Ce, but he hasn't found anything." ”

"Is the assassin arranged?" At this time, the Yiren did not see the warmth of the past, and the cold breath around them made people feel a little awe.

Xiao Pick rarely saw her girl like this, the last time I saw it was when the girl insisted on running away from home, "It's arranged, it's all from the son's side." ”

"Brother?"

"Alas, my brother is coming back too, and I'm afraid I'll be counted down again if I behave like this." The breath that was still cold just now, when I heard my brother, instantly softened again, like a cat that has been smoothed.

Xiao Provoke sneered and laughed, and helped her to walk inside, "What did the girl say?" Childe loves the girl the most, when did you say you, even if the number falls is also worried about you, it's really not good, when you call the county lord Zhaoyuan, as soon as the son sees the county lord, he will give you a little less attention. ”

Yiren was happy when he heard it, "Hey, where did you hear the crooked truth, that's my brother, naturally put his heart on me wholeheartedly, but I think what you said makes sense." ”

"Hey! It doesn't make sense, it's all played like this in the script, girl, let's go, I'll dress you up, and you have to take care of it today. ”

It's been a long time since I've seriously groomed her girl, but I can't make her so hungry that her craftsmanship should be rusty.

Xiao Yu'an was stunned when he entered the door, a pair of eyes didn't know where to look, and finally, his eyes fell on Seventeen on the side.

"Xiao Shizi won't stop, I'll just groom up a little, and you won't know me."

Where is this a little makeup, it is simply a noble girl, a light golden cloud brocade, outlining a graceful waistline, red flowers on a white background, a shallow silk attached to the light gold cloud brocade, the waist is usually the bulging purse, the hair is also seriously curled, wearing a few beaded flowers, and a step shake, not as casual as Pingli, but the shoulders are still tied with the two slender braids, and a small bell is tied at the end of the hair.

Xiao Yu'an was so frightened by her slight grooming that she choked on her saliva and coughed rapidly, and Seventeen on the side unnaturally picked up the teacup and began to pour water.

His reaction was not much better than Xiao Yu'an's, and he was also shocked when he came in just now, staring at her with a pair of eyes and bones, and before he could speak, Xiao Yu'an came.

After his breath stabilized, Xiao Yuancai said softly: "It's rare to see you dressed up like this, and you didn't react for a while, it's rude." ”

In fact, it's not a costume, it's just the usual girl's dress, but she is usually too simple, and the lining is very grand now.

"Today is such an important day that deserves your attention." Xiao Yu'an asked with a smile, thinking that today was her birthday or some important day, so it was worth her attention.

Yiren just smiled and raised his hand to fill them with tea, "It's a little important, you'll know later." ”

Xiao Yu'an's eyes flashed with loneliness, and he unconsciously glanced at Seventeen, and Seventeen stared at Yiren with a smile.

"Have you heard rumors recently that Her Royal Highness is going back to Beijing?" It seems to be a casual question.

Seventeen instantly lost his mind, with a somewhat serious face, Xiao Yu'an didn't notice the change in Seventeen, but said softly: "I've heard that the princess and Lu began to travel around after opening a no-study house, and established a no-study house and school in various states, which is very respected by the people of the world, and recently returned to Beijing, and I also heard that the traitors of the previous dynasty wanted to intercept and kill the princess on the way back to Beijing. ”

"Xiao Shizi is very interested in Her Royal Highness the Princess."

I didn't hear the sourness in Seventeen's tone, and when it came to Her Royal Highness the Princess, he also admired it a little, "Her Royal Highness the Princess has a noble status, Bing Xue is smart, I often travel to the Wushu House in various places, and I have met many people, they are all ambitious and talented people, and they will definitely be able to do something in the court in the future, a woman, to be able to do this, I have a little admiration for her." ”

"What does Fei Fei Seventeen think of Her Royal Highness this princess?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Seventeen was stunned for a moment, but even Yiren was stunned for a moment, staring at him with a smile.

Seventeen was a little uncomfortable, and a "hum" came from his nasal cavity, which made Xiao Yu'an scratch his head.

"Let's get down to business." Helpless, Xiao Yu'an had to change the topic.

"I asked Qi Luo to check the house in the eastern suburbs of Xu Mansion, the house is not in the name of Xu Mansion, it is in the name of his cousin, but the expenses of the house are recorded in the account of Xu Mansion, the expenses are huge, more than the cost of the Xu family's house in Kyoto, there are only more than 40 people in the house, all of them have signed the deed of sale, and they are all selling recently, but Qi Luo went to check, there are far more than these people in the house, the house is full of master girls, the strange thing is that these girls are all deceased people in the official government's roster, and they all died of illness, After the death of the girl, the families of the girls became rich. ”

"You mean Xu Guangyao robbed the girl and bribed his family?"

"It's also possible that her family was persecuted."

This speculation is expected, but it is also difficult to accept. When Xiao Yu'an went to the secret investigation, he knew that the girl was going to be sent to the bottom, and Xu Guangyao was a frequent visitor to the Golden Bird Palace, so it was not difficult to guess that they were going to send them to that kind of place, but they didn't expect their identity to be a dead person.

Xiao Yu was silent for a moment, and then said: "There is no reason to check the Xu Mansion, and there is no evidence to prove that it is the mansion of the Xu Mansion, even if there is a Xu Mansion, it is estimated that his cousin will be punished." ”

This is also the difficulty of this matter, Xu Guangyao's father is an official of the imperial court, and he can't check it casually without an edict, and even if he can check it, they will find a substitute for the dead ghost, and there is no substantial damage to them.

"Who said they wanted to check the Xu Mansion?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yu'an looked at her suspiciously, Yiren raised his head and said seriously: "Don't check the Xu Mansion, it's the household department that is investigated, and let the case of the Xu Mansion become the last straw that crushes the ministry." ”

Xiao Yu'an was stunned for a moment, but he understood in an instant, and before he could speak, Seventeen on the side got up suddenly, "You want to move the household department now?" ”

The household officials are not separated, and they were given the choice to dig out the empty house in the south lane, and he can say that, there must be some secret hidden in the house.

Xiao Yu'an was a little confused by his sudden reaction, but Yiren didn't react, and said calmly: "It's time to move, start with the household department, pull out the ministry, and then find out the case of Xu Guangyao, this is a game of chess, it must be completed to close, and if you miss one step, you can't finish it." ”

Seventeen naturally knew that he just thought she was too bold and a little angry.

"After several dynasties and generations, the foundation is too deep, this matter must be investigated, it must be big, so big that it is out of control, the person who wants to shake this thing out, the background must be strong enough, and once it is shaken out, the household officials will definitely make a move, and if they are not careful, they will lose all the plates."

"It's too risky! If something goes wrong, no one is immune. ”

Xiao Yu'an's face was a little heavy, and he said: "I think what Seventeen said makes sense, being implicated is a small matter, and it will not be easy to catch them in the future." ”

Yiren naturally knows their concerns, but there is not so much time now, the emperor only gave Xiao Yu'an half a month, even if he doesn't investigate, he will be questioned in the end.

The house on the outskirts of Xufu is dismissing people again, if it is any later, the evidence will be less and less, no matter how you calculate, now is the most suitable time.

Xiao Yu'an and Seventeen also thought of it, everyone had their own concerns, and the atmosphere was deadlocked.
