As one of the four major happy events, the candle night in the cave room should be a day of celebration and excitement, but Xiao Rui felt that Xu Haoran, the groom official of the church, looked wrong, and even smiled a little.

Could it be a forced marriage?

Xiao Rui couldn't help but guess the bloody plot.

"Xiao Jiu, you said that this son of the Xu family smiled awkwardly, does he look down on our cousin? A look of reluctance. Xiao Rui asked.

Xiao Yan nodded and said, "It's really, it looks listless." But it shouldn't be, I heard that after Xu Haoran and Xiao Qingqing looked at each other, the elders of the two sides began to discuss the matter of getting married, for this reason, Lord Xu did not hesitate to ask His Majesty for a decree to transfer Xu Haoran back from Luzhou Mansion and join the Metropolitan Procuratorate. ”

"Oh." Xiao Rui nodded.

Suddenly, he reacted and asked, "Where did you say he was transferred back from?" ”

"Luzhou! What's wrong? It seems that he is a general judge in Luzhou, and he is from the official position of Liupin at a young age. Xiao Yan explained.

"So coincidentally?" Xiao Rui muttered to himself.

Xiao Yan looked at him and asked, "Seventh brother, what's wrong?" ”

"Oh, it's fine." Xiao Rui came back to his senses and responded. Then he looked at Xu Haoran and began to think crankily in his heart.

There's no way, who told him to pull the keyword Luzhou.

With the end of the visitation ceremony, the wedding feast officially began.

After three rounds of wine, Emperor Xia returned to the palace. He's here, and no one wants to eat.

Xu Xianyang personally went to see off Emperor Xia, and Xu Haoran, accompanied by Xu Xianda, came to the main hall to toast first.

He first toasted several princes and four cabinet chiefs before proceeding to the prince's table.

toasted one by one again, and soon it was Xiao Rui's turn.

Xiao Rui took the wine that Xu Haoran picked up on a whim, and whispered: "Congratulations to Master Xu, I almost couldn't drink your wedding wine, but fortunately, Lord Wei of Tianfu mentioned your family affairs." ”

Xiao Yan on the side was eating vegetables, and was stunned on the spot when he heard this, and in his heart, the seventh brother opened his eyes and said that he was talking nonsense, so he hurriedly listened to it with his ears sideways.

Xu Haoran's smile froze, and he subconsciously asked, "Your Highness should go to Tianfu... If there is something to deal with, I am willing to help. ”

Xiao Rui said: "It's not a big deal, you also know that there has been a murder in the capital recently, five lives, and a baby who is still swaddling." Hey, the case I reported, naturally I have to care..."

As he spoke, Xiao Rui stared at Xu Haoran, but was surprised to find that his eyes flickered in a trance, and the hand holding the wine shook and almost spilled, but it was quickly covered by a blooming smile.

"Oh, I've heard that, too." Xu Haoran said: "Your Highness, I respect you. ”

After saying that, he raised his head and drank it before leaving.

Xiao Rui grabbed his wrist suddenly and said with a smile: "I hope the deceased did not affect your happy event." ”

Xu Haoran's gaze looked at him, and he staggered in an instant, and he smiled: "It doesn't affect it, it doesn't affect it, Your Highness, please sit down." ”

Xiao Rui sat down, Xu Haoran toasted Xiao Yan, and quickly left the main hall.

Xiao Yan looked at the back of Seventh Brother who was still staring at Xu Haoran's leaving, and immediately asked in a low voice, "What's wrong, Seventh Brother?" Do you suspect he had something to do with the murder? ”

Xiao Rui glanced around and said in a low voice, "Let's talk about it when we go out." ”

The two of them immediately sat upright, it was time to eat and drink.

At the end of the wedding banquet, the guests left one after another.

Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan said goodbye to their brothers and took the car back.

On the carriage, Xiao Yan couldn't wait: "Seventh brother, do you suspect that Xu Haoran has something to do with the murder?" How can it be? Eight poles can't be related, huh? ”

"You said that he was transferred from Luzhou, and I thought about it together, so I tried it. Who knows, but the result of the temptation surprised me. Xiao Rui said in a deep voice: "You have also seen Xu Haoran's performance, if you say that he is not a ghost, do you believe it?" Moreover, this thing is very strange, and the clues are incredible. ”

Xiao Rui suspected that it was the system's ghost, but he didn't think it was like it. His instincts told him that there must be something wrong with this.

Xiao Yan nodded, and Xu Haoran's performance just now came to mind, does that seem like a performance that doesn't matter? His heart was in turmoil, his hands were shaking, but he managed to hold his composure.

"It's a bit of a big deal." Xiao Yan couldn't help but say.

Xiao Rui smiled: "What's the matter, are you afraid?" ”

"I'm afraid of a ball." Xiao Yan said stiffly: "Seventh brother, what do you say?" ”

"Check it out first." Xiao Rui immediately said righteously: "You are not allowed to tell anyone about this matter, do you know me, do you hear it?"

"Got it." Xiao Yan nodded again and again.

On the second day, Xiao Rui asked Gao Quan to go out and investigate the servants and guards of the Xu family.

He had been there all day before he hurried back.

"Why did you go for so long?" Xiao Rui asked.

Gao Quandao: "I was afraid of startling the snake, so I asked a steward of the Xu family, drunk him, and stuffed him with a lot of silver before I found out the news." ”

"Oh? Do you have valuable clues? Xiao Rui hurriedly asked.

Gao Quandao: "By asking this steward, I didn't hear him mention that there were any outsiders living in Xu's house ten days ago. However, the thing that His Royal Highness asked me to ask specifically is eyebrows, and there are indeed people in the Xu Mansion who have taken a long vacation during this time and are not in the house. ”

"Who?" Xiao Rui sat up straight and hurriedly asked.

Gao Quan said: "Xu Xianyang's henchman Cao is in charge, I heard that he suddenly asked for sick leave more than ten days ago, and he has not seen anyone. ”

"Huh?" Xiao Rui was taken aback, how could he get involved with Xu Xianyang again.

Could it be that not only Xu Haoran has a relationship, but his father Xu Xianyang, the scholar of the Ministry of Industry and a scholar of Wenhuadian University, also participated?

"Damn, it's a big deal."

Xiao Rui also suddenly felt that there was a flood beast in front of him.

The system of dog days really does not kill itself and does not give up.

"Check! Find out where Steward Cao lives and find him! Xiao Rui gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

"Yes, Your Highness." Gaoquan acted immediately.

The twelfth day after the murder was discovered.

Gao Quan inquired in every possible way, and finally found out the clues of Steward Cao. He returned to his hometown, a village under Liuhe County, Yingtianfu.

was able to find the traces, thanks to Gao Quan's cleverness, he directly found the Qinglou Xianghao of Steward Cao, and got the news from her, otherwise he would definitely not be able to find it just by asking.

At the same time, Xiao Rui also knows the shortcomings of insufficient manpower, and it is not a way to kick Gao Quan alone.

After getting the position of Steward Cao, Xiao Rui couldn't sit still, so he immediately took Xiao Yan out hunting, quietly went to Steward Cao's hometown, and asked Gao Quan to enter the village to check. He happened to meet Steward Cao wandering around in the village.

Sick?

His face was red and he was sick.

It is that there are scratches on the face and neck, and it has become scarred at this time.

Gao Quan quickly left the village and joined Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan.

"How's that, how's that?" Xiao Yan immediately asked.

Gao Quan looked at Xiao Rui.

"See?" Xiao Rui asked.

Gao Quandao: "I saw it, I was strolling, not like a sick person, with scratches on my face and neck." I look at the time and can match the case! ”

"Sure enough, it's him!" Xiao Yan was shocked.

Xiao Rui also took a deep breath and spit it out.

"So, what about the motives?" Xiao Rui's eyes burned.

"Let's go to Luzhou!" Xiao Yan said suddenly.

"Huh?" Xiao Yan was moved, but he shook his head, the prince couldn't leave Beijing without permission, and it would be ugly to run out and be caught by the forbidden army.

"Gao Quan, you go!" Xiao Rui had no one, so he could only let Gao Quan run.

"What about this Cao Steward? Catch it? Xiao Yan asked.

Xiao Rui hesitated.
