"Ding Dong..."

The system has issued another task.

At such a tense moment, you still care about the next task?

But Xiao Rui didn't care to check it, he calmly looked at Xu Xianyang, and said in a heavy tone: "Is the thin face of an adult more valuable than five lives?" ”

"Good, good." Xu Xianyang didn't laugh angrily: "I didn't expect the Seventh Prince to be brave and hidden, and the old man admired it." Since this is the case, it depends on the tricks of the Seven Princes. ”

After speaking, Xu Xianyang got up and threw off his sleeves and went straight away.

Xiao Rui drank the wine, although he knew that offending Xu Xianyang would be fatal trouble for him, but he really couldn't tell nonsense with his eyes open, regardless of the five tragic deaths.

"Lord Xu seems to be very unhappy." Xiao Feng asked, "What kind of dumb riddle are you two playing?" What kind of face, what kind of life? ”

"Really? He may be in a hurry. Xiao Rui smiled.

It didn't take long for the steward of the Xu Mansion to say that the cabinet had important matters to deal with and had already entered the palace. Xiao Rui and Xiao Feng said goodbye and left.

Hearing that Xiao Rui and the two had left, Xu Xianyang stayed in the study with a cold expression.

"My lord, do you want to move Xiao Rui?" In the shadows, a man's voice was heard.

Xu Xianyang's murderous intent soared: "The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, since he wants to provoke me, then play with him, after all, it is the identity of the prince, if he is assassinated, it will cause the Xia Emperor to be angry, the Xia Emperor is unfathomable, it is best not to alarm him." Go, send the master to his dwelling, bury something. ”

"Yes, sir!"

……

Xiao Rui got into the carriage before closing his eyes to check the task.

"New Mission: Avenge the Dead, Duration: 30 days. Complete Advent +10. This task is enforced, and points will be deducted for failure according to the effort, and 90 points will be deducted if it is not performed. ”

"Sure enough!"

Xiao Rui knew that the system would definitely solve the case by itself and return the innocence of the deceased, and its urine would definitely not let itself be in the same league as Xu Xianyang.

Xiao Rui looked at his existing information:

Name: Xiao Rui

Identity: The seventh prince of the Great Xia Kingdom

Talents: Does the status of a time-traveler count? No, then no

Advent: 90/100

"It's finally time for the match point, and I'll see what the system can give me by completing this mission." Xiao Rui was a little excited.

It's just that now he is directly tearing up his face with Xu Xianyang, and what awaits him is Xu Xianyang's ferocious revenge. A scholar of the Sanpin Cabinet, who is also a scholar of the Ministry of Industry, Xiao Rui feels that his skills are not high when he thinks about it, and he is very bold!

The good mood disappeared suddenly.

"System, are you trying to kill me on purpose?" Xiao Rui protested.

System:??

It's just that, how to avenge the deceased? I don't have any proof.

The more Xiao Rui thought about it, the worse it became, this is to buy gasoline, look back,, I don't have a car!

"I'm going to go to Xu Xianyang to surrender now, will he believe me? I really should be flexible, and he is vain and wronged, I can't rub the temper of sand in my eyes. ”

Xiao Rui shook his head self-deprecatingly, but he had a lot of ups and downs in his heart.

The next day, noon.

Xiao Yan suddenly hurried to the house.

"Seventh brother, it's not good, Steward Cao is dead." Xiao Yan said breathlessly.

"Dead?" Xiao Rui glared, and his tone raised by three points.

Xiao Yan nodded and said, "After checking on Cao Guan last time, I secretly sent someone to monitor him, for fear that he would run away." I didn't expect to suddenly drown in the river this morning. The arrests in Liuhe County were almost gone, and the autopsy result was drowning. ”

"!" Xiao Rui scolded, he really underestimated Xu Xianyang's ruthlessness, and directly killed him, as soon as Steward Cao died, the murder of the Wang family was even more headless.

"Seventh brother, what should we do? Watching the real murderer go unpunished? Xiao Yan said angrily.

Xiao Rui sighed: "I don't have a clue yet, oh, by the way, I went to see Xu Xianyang yesterday, and he already knew that I was investigating the murder." ”

"What?" Xiao Yan looked stunned and couldn't speak for a while.

"I knew that I shouldn't let you go to see Xu Haoran, look, something happened." Xiao Yan was anxious and said, "Why don't you tell your father about this?" ”

"No, you can't. The crime of slandering the cabinet scholars is not light, and even if we are the princes, we will become the target of public criticism. Don't be nervous, I don't think Xu Xianyang will dare to deal with us blatantly. Xiao Rui comforted.

"I hope so." Xiao Yan sighed.

At the same time, Xiao Mingying, the king of Zhou's Zongren Mansion, entered the palace to face the saint.

Xiao Mingying, the king of Zhou, served as the commander of the Zongren Mansion, took charge of the royal family's affiliation, repaired the jade, laid Zhaomu, prefaced Juelu, Li faction, admonished the teachings, discussed rewards and punishments, and performed rituals in the Chengling Temple.

In layman's terms, if the emperor's relatives have committed a crime, the criminal department has no right to interrogate people, and the Zongren Mansion must come forward before it can be transferred to the criminal department.

In fact, this department has the intention of protecting the royal family.

Of course, if you really commit a crime and are imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion, don't think about a happy life.

Hearing that Xiao Mingying asked to see him, Emperor Xia was a little surprised.

"Why is he here? Have there been any major festivals lately? Emperor Xia asked.

Gonggong Hai, who was serving, replied: "Your Majesty, no, and the recital presented by the Ministry of Rites is not mentioned. Is there someone else who asks King Zhou to see? ”

"Since it's not a big sacrificial event, I can let him come in person, it seems that someone from the royal family has committed a big thing." Emperor Xia put down his pen and said, "Let him come in." ”

Gonggong Hai went to invite Xiao Mingying into the palace.

"Brother of the courtiers, see my emperor." Xiao Mingying bowed.

Emperor Xia smiled and said, "Come here, give a seat." ”

After Xiao Mingying sat down, Emperor Xia asked, "You entered the palace in a hurry, but there is something urgent?" ”

Xiao Mingying said: "Yes, Your Majesty, there is indeed something tricky in the hands of my brother, and I dare not deal with it without permission, so I have come to ask Your Majesty." ”

"Oh? What's the matter? Emperor Xia asked.

Xiao Mingying said: "This morning, the younger brother went to the Zongren Mansion and received a report letter, and asked His Majesty to take a look. ”

Gonggong Hai submitted a letter of accusation to Emperor Xia.

Emperor Xia opened the letter and saw the contents of the paper, and his brows suddenly raised.

Grandpa Hai glanced vaguely, and his pupils shrank.

"Xiao Rui, the Seventh Highness, secretly hid a witch puppet in his residence and cursed His Majesty's dragon body."

In a simple word, it is a sharp knife that kills people without seeing blood.

Today's Xia Emperor hates witchcraft the most, and strictly forbids puppet curses.

"Who sent the report letter?" Emperor Xia asked.

Xiao Mingying shook his head and said, "I haven't found it." In fact, just a letter is groundless, and the younger brother should not come to disturb His Majesty, but the Seventh Highness lives in the mansion of the Fourth Highness, and this matter also involves the Fourth Highness. The younger brother was worried that if he didn't pay attention to this matter, if rumors spread all over the capital and discussions spread, it would be out of control at that time. ”

Xiao Mingying said it tactfully, in fact, he was more worried that Xiao Rui lived in Xiao Feng's mansion, but he was framed and buried a witch puppet, is there a dispute between the prince and the prince?

Emperor Xia put down the letter paper and said with a smile: "Since someone has specially reported it, the Zongren Mansion will go to check it and see if it can find the witch puppet." If it is really discovered, then bring Xiao Qi into the palace and investigate according to law. ”

"Yes!" Xiao Mingying responded, and then went out of the palace to investigate.
