Chapter Twenty-Seven: Coming to Investigate the Case
Changshu stretched out his hand to stop the radiant young man beside him, and turned his head to look at him: "Why are you here?" ”
"Brother Wang asked me to come."
Seeing that Changshu was still looking at him, Mu Xiuqi looked at Shu An, who was standing not far away: "Sister Huan, the weapons supervisor was involved in a corruption case, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate was ordered to investigate the case, and the evidence found out showed that there was an iron mine here in Fengyang City, and someone was secretly mining and forging weapons from the imperial court, and the people who came to investigate the case from the Metropolitan Procuratorate died three times in a row, and the account book was gone, so Brother Wang ordered me to come to find out about it." ”
"Embezzlement? Privately casting weapons? ”
"Originally, it was a corruption case, but then it changed its tone after checking it." The young man's expression was slightly bitter: "Sister Huan-"
Changshu tilted his head, signaling that he had something to say.
The young man suddenly began to complain indignantly: "You don't know how excessive Brother Wang is, what is trusting me and entrusting me with important tasks, but he told me to take risks alone, do you know how I got the account book, I was caught in disguise to open a mine, and I almost couldn't come back several times." ”
Changshu's face was slightly cold, and she glanced at him coldly.
The young man cautiously glanced at her face, as if he knew what she was angry about, and whispered a defense: "I still cherish my little life, I don't take risks, you know, I usually think about the consequences when I do things." ”
Changshu unconsciously leaned back against the tree and hummed, "You continue." ”
Mu Xiuqi began to complain more and more: "I finally stole the account book and escaped, but I was discovered before I went far, and then fled all the way to the present." ”
"Originally, those people couldn't catch me, they couldn't even find my traces, but then he came......" The young man's chin raised slightly, and motioned for her to look at Shu An: "...... He's the one who hunted me down. ”
Changshu turned her head to look at Shu An: "This matter was done by someone from the Shu family?" ”
"Yes."
"It's not."
The words fell one after the other, and Mu Xiuqi raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were unruly, full of provocation: "If it weren't for you chasing and killing Young Master Ben, if I remember correctly, you should follow Dadu to guard the Southwest Metropolitan Protectorate, huh?" Lord Lieutenant? ”
Shu An looked at him gloomily: "If I'm not mistaken, the second son should also be in the capital at this hour." ”
Mu Xiuqi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Yes, I'm in the capital, so even if you kill me, the court won't be able to find out about you, right?" ”
"Maybe some people can take the opportunity to put the blame on the head of the regent palace, saying that my father and brother Wang intended to plot against each other and plotted privately, and now that the matter has been revealed, send me to destroy the corpse and destroy the traces, right?"
"Then if someone asks, how can I, a gentleman, take on such a big responsibility, how can I make my father and brother Wang trust me so much, you can also say that the gentleman has always been a mask that I used to disguise myself, is what Young Master Ben said right?"
Shu An's eyes flashed with a trace of killing intent, and he suddenly ordered coldly: "Come on, take down both of them." ”
"Yes."
I don't know when a large number of black-clothed people gathered from all directions, and the young man's expression was instantly full of fright: "Why did you come so fast?" ”
Changshu turned her eyes to look at him, her eyes dark: "What's the matter." ”
Mu Xiuqi looked at her innocently: "I don't know, then my people obviously lured them away, how could they come back so quickly?" ”
Changshu's forehead jumped.
didn't have time to think about it more, Changshu carried the basket in one hand, wiped it on his waist with the other, and in the blink of an eye, a row of silver light flashed, and it was instantly put into a dozen or so people.
The boy looked at her with sparkling eyes.
Changshu was so angry by this burning gaze that she pulled him back without thinking, and wanted to order someone to do it.
But before she could speak, a crimson figure crossed in front of her, rushing out from behind her like a wind, and the red figure swept through the crowd, like a hurricane, and the black-clothed killer fell at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Mu Xiuqi looked admiring: "Sister Huan, the martial arts of the people under your hands are so high." ”
Changshu was noncommittal, pulling him quietly to the side to watch.
Yao Hua slashed down with a knife, and the violent impact made Shu An unable to stand the force and retreated again and again, until he hit the tree.
Shu An spurted out a mouthful of blood, only to feel the blood in his chest surge, and under the blow, he was obviously seriously injured.
looked at him in horror, and when he met the naked killing intent in his eyes, he turned his head sharply: "Your Royal Highness Princess." ”
The knife in Yao Hua's hand stopped in mid-air.
Subconsciously turned his head to look at Changshu.
Changshu smiled lightly: "Master Shu is a smart person. ”
"Sister Huan, how did he know your identity?"
Changshu looked at him helplessly: "How many people in this world can you call a sister?" ”
Shu An is not a fool, of course he will doubt her identity.
The boy scratched his head: "That's what I said." ”
Yao Hua hesitated: "Your Highness? ”
Although Yao Hua really wanted to kill the Shu family, it was true that he was punished by Changshu for kneeling for a few hours that day, which directly caused him to not dare to make decisions now.
He didn't want Changshu to think that they didn't care about her orders.
Shu An could clearly feel the fierce wind brought by the blade breaking through the air across his face, and he even felt that the hairs on his body stood on end.
He didn't doubt at all that the person in front of him really wanted to kill him.
Originally, he had the intention of gambling, but he didn't want him to guess correctly, the person in front of him, who looked no different from an ordinary peasant girl, was really the eldest princess of the court, Princess Chenhuan.
"Is Her Royal Highness really going to kill me?"
"Of course it's true, how can this be fake?" Mu Xiuqi looked at him: "You don't want to kill Young Master Ben." ”
"Why, if you kill others, you can't kill others if they kill you?"
"I'm an official of the imperial court."
The young man sneered: "Young Master Ben is still a royal family, you don't want to kill Young Master Ben." ”
"You want to kill Young Master Ben without a trace and put the blame on the head of the Regent's Mansion. Now Sister Huan can kill you, and then push this matter onto the head of the Shu family in your Zhennan Protectorate. ”
Changshu smiled faintly: "That's a good idea." ”
The young man nodded in agreement: "I think so too." ”
Shu An was dumbfounded.
He knew that what Mu Xiuqi said was true, and even if he died here, no one would say anything.
People would only wonder why he was supposed to stay in Zhennan Metropolitan Protectorate why he appeared in Fengyang City, and why he happened to be at a critical juncture in the thorough investigation of the corruption case of the Ordnance Supervisor.
At that time, as long as someone with a heart gives a little guidance, this pot will not be able to be taken off on the head of the Shu family.
