Xiao Rui sat in the carriage and thought about things.

Before leaving, Li Xiuer's words still lingered in Xiao Rui's mind.

Xiao Rui didn't dare to come nonsense, not to mention that she was still Xiao Yiheng's princess, so she still couldn't provoke Li Xiuer unless she had to!

It seems that this woman is crazy and dares to do anything, but this also gives Xiao Rui a great opportunity to use it against Xiao Yiheng.

In addition, the system allows itself to watch this play, it will not be for no reason, it must have its deep meaning, and it is definitely to make trouble for itself.

Soon, back home.

Xiao Rui got out of the carriage and said to Wu Zhanfa: "You work hard at night and keep a good eye on the Chu Wangfu for this king!" I suspect something happened at night! Improvise! ”

Wu Zhanfa said: "Your Highness, rest assured, this matter is handed over to the villain." ”

Xiao Rui nodded and entered the mansion.

After a while, because I am resting today, I don't have to get up early to go to court. Xiao Rui thought he could sleep lazily, but he didn't expect that in the early hours of the morning, Wu Zhanfa came back and knocked on the door in a hurry.

Xiao Rui was awakened, and when he heard that it was Wu Zhanfa who asked to see him, he immediately thought that it was the matter of the Chu Palace, and hurriedly put on a coat to meet Wu Zhanfa.

Who knows, as soon as he opened the door, he saw that Wu Zhanfa was wet, as if he had been fished out of the water, and there was still hot air above his head, Xiao Rui hurriedly asked people to prepare hot tea and bring towels.

"Let you spy on the Chu Palace, did you go on a night tour?" Xiao Rui quipped.

Wu Zhanfa smiled, and then said: "Your Highness, when you first arrived in Yin, there was movement in the Chu Palace!" ”

Taking a sip of hot tea, he continued: "I found two men carrying a futon out of the way, sneaky, they came to the moat west of the city and threw the futon down. So I went into the water, scooped up the bedding, and found that it was a naked girl, who was dead, strangled to death, and had been violated before she died. And the bedding is full of stones, probably trying to sink the corpse! ”

"What?" Xiao Rui stood up suddenly, looking surprised.

What is certain is that the girl who died tragically must have been the girl who was sent to the Chu Palace's mansion last night, and only a few hours have passed, and she was strangled to death and then thrown into the water.

Could it be Xiao Yiheng's doing?

Wu Zhanfa said: "I hid the body next to the moat, and I didn't know what to do with it, so I hurried back. ”

Xiao Rui paced in the room, and finally understood the real intention of the system to let him go to the Chu Palace. An innocent girl died tragically, what should I do?

I don't know?

Or expose the murderer for the girl?

Once you want to meddle in this matter, you will inevitably have to fight with Xiao Yiheng.

Xiao Rui sighed and sent someone to invite the sleeping Jia Xu.

Jia Xu came, and after listening to the whole story, knowing Xiao Rui's hesitation, Jia Xu said: "Your Highness can't make a decision?" ”

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "According to my character, since I know about this matter, I must investigate it to the end, and I will also pay attention to the grievances of innocent girls." But considering the competition for the crown prince's position, now that he is at odds with Xiao Yiheng, there is a conflict with the plan we have formulated. Xiao Yiheng's power is far greater than Xiao Yuan's, and it is almost impossible to bring him down. Not to mention avenging the dead. ”

On the one hand, it is its own code of conduct, and on the other hand, it is its own great cause.

Jia Xu smiled: "His Royal Highness didn't have a hot head to deal with Xiao Yiheng, nor did he indifferently regard the girl's death as normal, he was very relieved, thinking before and after, it was the habit that we should have to do great things, and we can't let emotions determine our habits." But in my opinion, we shouldn't be enemies with Xiao Yiheng, the girl's death was handed over to Ying Tianfu, and they had their own to investigate. As for whether the innocence of the deceased can be restored, that is a matter for Ying Tianfu, and we will add fuel to the fire at most. There are too many grievances in this world, and it is impossible for us to encounter a single incident and pursue it regardless of the consequences. However, the advice below is just a suggestion, Your Highness, you are the one who calls the shots. ”

Xiao Rui smiled bitterly: "If this matter is handed over to Ying Tianfu, how can they find out about Xiao Yiheng with their means?" Even if you find out, do you dare to investigate further? In the end, the tragic death of the girl was still over. ”

"So Your Highness wants to be involved!" Jia Xu affirmed.

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "That's right! ”

Jia Xu looked at Xiao Rui deeply, and there was no disappointment in his eyes, but relief.

"Your Highness, people's shortcomings can be corrected, but weaknesses are difficult to change. Do you know what your weaknesses are, what your weaknesses are? Jia Xu suddenly asked.

Xiao Rui was stunned, shook his head, and said, "As the saying goes, it's dark under the light, and I don't know it myself." Sir must have seen it thoroughly. ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Shortcomings mostly refer to character, for example, His Highness's shortcomings are benevolence, and he lacks the ruthlessness of those in power. Weakness refers to personality, and as for what the weakness of His Highness's personality is, it is best for His Highness to figure it out by himself. ”

"Your Highness, we can inquire about the girl's death, but we can't contact it directly, you are worried that Ying Tianfu will not investigate in depth, but Your Highness, don't forget, the eldest prince Xiao Lie is also in Ying Tianfu, he is now Yin Zuoguan of Ying Tianfu, if he knows that this murder is related to the King of Chu, won't he investigate it to the end?" Jia Xu laughed.

Xiao Rui slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, I forgot about this matter, I understand, what Mr. said was that we secretly investigated, and then sent the information to the King of Chu and let them eat dogs!" ”

"Uh... Forget about dog bite dog, after all, it is the brother of His Royal Highness. Jia Xu laughed.

Xiao Rui: ...

"Let Mr. see it smile, I am so happy that I even scolded myself." Xiao Rui quipped.

Jia Xu laughed when he heard this.

That's when the system came back to join in the fun.

"Ding-dong... New Mission: Investigate the true identity of the deceased girl, complete the advent value +10, and fail without punishment. ”

"Ding-dong... New Mission: Investigate the cause of the death of the deceased girl, complete the advent value +20, and there is no penalty for failure. ”

"Current Advent Value: 90/100."

Xiao Rui saw the task of the system in his eyes, and sure enough, the system made this move, or let himself deal with Xiao Yiheng, it was impossible to see that he had a peaceful life.

It was still dark.

Xiao Rui immediately said to Wu Zhanfa: "Tactics, you have the confidence to get close to the study of the Chu Palace!" Since the girl is naked, it is impossible to search her identity, but I remember that she was dressed last night, and she must have been taken off in the study of the King of Chu, where there may be something to prove her identity! ”

Wu Zhanfa said: "Although there are masters in the Chu Wangfu, I can't assassinate the King of Chu, but it is not difficult to go to his study to steal something." ”

"Good! Go now! Before dawn, we must catch some evidence! Let Wei Guang and Peony assist you, it's really not possible, let the two of them turn the tiger away from the mountain and lure away the secret masters of the Chu Palace! Xiao Rui said.

Wu Zhanfa clenched his fists and immediately called Wei Guang and Peony to go.

There was no sleepiness, Xiao Rui simply played against Jia Xu.

"Sir, I don't think the King of Chu looks like a person who is greedy for beauty and loves to torture and kill, why did he kill that girl?" Xiao Rui wondered.

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "The King of Chu has great ambitions, is literary and martial, and has a cold and arrogant personality, so he is not tempted by beauty, I have been investigating for so long, and I have never heard of him coveting any beauty." So I can't guess what he did, but I guess there must be a reason. ”

Speaking of beauty, Xiao Rui thought of Princess Li Xiu'er and talked about her.

After hearing this, Jia Xu laughed: "Your Highness is really attractive, so that Li Xiu'er mistakenly thinks that you are tempting her, as long as Your Highness uses a little force, Li Xiu'er will definitely be caught." ”

"Sir, don't make fun of me, I don't dare to provoke Li Xiu'er." Xiao Rui said busily.

Jia Xu said: "Your Highness is right, there is a knife on the head of the color word!" Listening to His Royal Highness's brief introduction, I can see that Li Xiu'er is not simple, if this woman meets a good husband, she can quietly teach her husband and children, but once her inner ambition is stimulated, she can do anything crazy. She is a double-edged sword that can be used against Xiao Yiheng, and can also be used by Xiao Yiheng to deal with His Highness. Your Highness, don't forget what happened to Ling Xiaolou. ”

When Xiao Rui heard this, he was solemn and vigilant, and the little fire in his heart disappeared.

"His Royal Highness is at the age of boiling blood, and it is indeed not easy to restrain his impulses, and the few maids who serve in close proximity are good-looking, and the fat and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders." Jia Xu said seriously.

But these words stopped in Xiao Rui's ears, how could they be so unserious.

Look, the two maids who serve tea and pour water next to them always peek at the king, what do you mean?

When the sun was about to break, the three of Wu Zhanfa returned.

Wu Zhanfa smoothly touched into the study of the Chu Wangfu, but did not find the girl's clothes and belongings, Wu Zhanfa wondered if it was taken away and thrown away by the guards of the King of Chu, wouldn't this be a clue?

The cautious Wu Zhanfa searched the study again, and on Xiao Yiheng's desk, he found a strange object, which was a waist card, which should be the waist card of the female official in the palace.

The dignified second prince of Great Xia, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, actually collected a harem female official waist card in the study, don't you say strange?

So with this piece of evidence, Wu Zhanfa came back and handed it over to Xiao Rui and Jia Xu.

Xiao Rui and Wu Zhanfa looked at each other, and it was expected that they could not find evidence, but it was unexpected to find the female official's waist card.

"It seems that the girl is a palace official, good guy, Xiao Yiheng is really bold." Xiao Rui quipped.

Jia Xu took the ink, imprinted the waist card on the paper, and then said to Wu Zhanfa: "Go quickly, take advantage of the dawn to send the waist card to the deceased, this evidence is still let Ying Tianfu Shunteng touch the melon." ”

Wu Zhanfa took the token and immediately went to do it.

When he returned, it was dawn.

By the time Xiao Rui had breakfast, the murder had spread all over the west of the city, after all, there was a young girl's body lying by the moat, and the death was tragic, which naturally caused the people to talk about it.

Yin Weitai, the governor of Yingtianfu, also rushed to the scene, and when the female official's waist card was discovered, Wei Tai realized the seriousness of the murder and immediately blocked the scene and the news. Xiao Lie also happened to be on duty, so naturally the waist card fell into his hands.

The murder happened, so naturally it had to be investigated.

And Xiao Rui has already entered the palace to ask for peace, and the main purpose is to find out the identity and cause of death of the female official!
