Chapter 223: Knowing the Truth

"This morning, Concubine Yue and the Queen Mother went to the palace to play, and they didn't bring their servants, so they met the eldest son of the Xu family, and he was also bold, so he was going to rob Concubine Yue and the Queen Mother to go back to be concubines, and no one dared to stop them on the street, you say...... What is this guilty of? Yu Liyuan's tone was flat, and the questioning meaning in his words made Wu Zhao unable to say a word.

He knelt on the ground, sweating coldly: "The minister will take someone to copy the Xu family." ”

"The life of the Xu family doesn't have to be spared." Yu Liyuan said lightly.

Wu Zhao said yes, and also lowered his head and retreated.

The Xu family has always behaved very well-behaved in front of him, and he also had the idea of marrying his daughter to the Xu family, because Wu Taohua has always jumped away and is unwilling to marry, so he temporarily extinguished this thought.

Looking back now, Wu Zhao also felt extremely lucky, fortunately he didn't push his daughter into the wolf's den, otherwise he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life.

Fortunately, it was all anger, the Xu family was able to dominate Luoyang City like this, but what about the rest of the Xu family? And how do they do things behind their backs? Are they really that clean?

Wu Zhao was angry, but before he could take a few steps, he heard Yu Liyuan's voice again.

"I and Wu Aiqing will go together, so that Concubine Ai can watch it, it can be regarded as my explanation to her." Yu Liyuan took Shen Xingyue's hand and walked over to this side.

Wu Zhao nodded hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please first." ”

No matter how anxious he is, he can't walk in front of Yu Liyuan and Shen Xingyue.

Yu Liyuan didn't say anything, just took the lead.

A sensible eunuch had already gone outside to prepare a carriage, and he only needed to walk outside the palace with Shen Xingyue.

He was not wearing a dragon robe today, but the black robe, embroidered with a dragon style with dark gold lines, was not conspicuous, and if you didn't look closely, you couldn't see it.

And Shen Xingyue only went out before, and now she is dressed more plainly, without any intention of showing off at all, but her appearance is too refined, even if she is wearing inconspicuous clothes, it is enough to attract people's attention.

Both of them are good-looking beings, and when they stand together, they are more like luminous objects, and anyone who looks at them will notice the two of them first.

Wu Zhao, a middle-aged uncle who has not lost his hair, thought that he was also a beautiful man back then, but when he stood with the two of them, he was completely compared, and he was even more inconspicuous than his subordinates.

Several people entered the city lord's mansion together, and before Wu Zhao could call someone, he heard the report of his subordinates.

"The head and wife of the Xu family are here, clamoring to see you in the main hall. My lord, go and have a look. When the subordinate saw Wu Zhao coming back, his eyes lit up, and he said to Wu Zhao anxiously.

Wu Zhao subconsciously glanced at Yu Liyuan, and Yu Liyuan only nodded, which was to agree with him to pass.

Wu Zhao also took a deep breath: "Then go and take a look." ”

Yu Liyuan and Shen Xingyue automatically and spontaneously followed behind Wu Zhao, waiting to see Wu Zhao's response.

In order not to attract attention, the two also stood behind the screen, and Wu Zhao also placed a pair of tables and chairs for this purpose, and snacks and fruits were also placed on the table, just to make the two feel comfortable.

After arranging the two of them, Wu Zhao also walked out of it.

Waiting in the hall were the lord and wife of the Xu family, and when they saw Wu Zhao coming, the two of them who had just rested for a while cried again and grabbed the ground.

"Our Xu family has been dedicated to Luoyang City for so many years, who would have thought that such a thing would happen, who did the Xu family offend!" Mrs. Xu howled, and the tears on her face fell in strings, which startled Wu Zhao as soon as she came up.

If it weren't for the fact that his majesty knew that it was their son who molested the two ladies in the palace, Wu Zhao would really think that they had suffered some grievances.

"Lord of the city, you must be the master for my son, our Xu family is such a lone seedling, I don't know who is so ruthless, he actually cut off his hand, that person wants the life of our Xu family!" Master Xu was also wiping his tears and crying to Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao probably understood what was going on, but in order to satisfy the desire of the two nobles behind him to watch the play, he could only ask hard at this time: "Don't be so excited, what happened, you tell the official, as long as it is confirmed, the official will definitely deal with it impartially and give you justice." ”

"What is our Xu family like for so many years, Lord City Lord, you must be in your eyes, you have always been dedicated to doing things for Luoyang City, who knew that early this morning, Xiao'er went out shopping, and when he came back, he would have one less hand." This kind of thing is the most suitable for women to do, Master Xu sighed, just wiped his tears, and did not speak again. The one who recounted all this was Mrs. Xu.

Listening to Mrs. Xu's words, Wu Zhao only felt a headache, and he nodded, as if he understood the meaning of Mrs. Xu's words.

"Who injured Young Master Xu, do you have any clues?" He asked the two of them.

However, both of them shook their heads, this time it was Master Xu's turn to speak, and his face was sad: "Xiao'er was cut off by a fan, the fan fell from the sky, and after the child's hand was cut into sections, no one appeared, Xiao'er was so painful that he fainted, and someone came to report it, and I only knew about it." ”

"In this way, it will be difficult to find the murderer, who does Young Master Xu have a grudge with? What was the situation like? These must be told to the official truthfully, otherwise it will be difficult for the official to help Young Master Xu find the murderer. Wu Zhao stroked his beard decently, thought for a while, and then asked again.

Mrs. Xu wiped her tears: "My son is just wandering on the street, where can he provoke someone, such a flying disaster, my son is really miserable." ”

As she spoke, she howled again, making Wu Zhao a little difficult to parry.

At this time, a man wearing the guard uniform of the City Lord's Mansion arrived in the main hall and saluted Wu Zhao: "Lord City Lord, my subordinates have found out what happened today. ”

"Oh? So fast? Then you come quickly, and the official can give an explanation to the two of you. Wu Zhao was also pleasantly surprised when he heard this.

But in fact, he didn't know this guard at all, and he didn't send anyone to investigate this matter, so the person who came over could only be arranged by Yu Liyuan.

Since it is His Majesty's will, Wu Zhao can only accept it.

The guard nodded, and then said loudly: "The palm of the eldest young master of the Xu family was cut off by Young Master Dong. ”

"Young Master Dong? Who is it? Why didn't we know that there was a Dong family in Luoyang City? When Master Xu heard the guard's words, he also stood up and looked at the guard suspiciously.
