Seeing the master's reply, Liu Xing immediately called the account room over and handed over the account book to Xiao Han for a look, which recorded the expenses of the princess's mansion in the days when Xiao Han was no longer in the mansion.

After Xiao Han took it, after carefully flipping through it, he didn't find any problems, so he exchanged the account book to Liu Xing, and his expression was quite satisfied: "During the time that the palace is not in the mansion, I have also worked hard for you, and I will pay one hundred taels from the account room to Steward Liu, and the rest of the people in the mansion will each be rewarded with two taels of silver." ”

Liu Xing took the lead in kneeling and bowing: "The slave thanks the master for the reward." ”

"Slaves (slaves) thank their masters for their rewards." The rest of the people also saluted.

Xiao Han said lightly: "Let's get up, this palace has words first, if you are loyal to this palace and do things steadfastly, you are indispensable to the rewards that this palace should have." But if you let this palace know that someone dares to betray this palace secretly, you will also have to weigh the consequences. ”

"The slave (slave) doesn't dare."

"It's better to do this, let's go down, there's no need to wait here!" Xiao Han waved his hand and motioned for them to step back.

After all the subordinates left, Xiao Han asked Liu Xing, "Are there any suspicious people in the mansion recently, or is there anyone trying to sneak into the mansion?" ”

Liu Xing naturally understood what the master meant, and replied in a low voice: "If you go back to the master, the minions have already dealt with a few secretly, and the rest of the people have not found anything abnormal for the time being." When the government bought people a while ago, I also found a few people with bad intentions, and the slave didn't know about it, so he didn't recruit into the house. ”

Xiao Han frowned and asked, "Have you found out who is behind them?" ”

Liu Xing replied: "There are a few people who are installed by those who have entered Beijing, and a few people who are not with you in the court, and there are still some people who are incompetent, and they have not been able to find out who is behind them." ”

Xiao Han didn't blame: "I don't blame you for this matter, it's not easy for you to find out this point." The next time you find someone trying to sneak into the house, let them in and secretly send someone to monitor their movements. ”

"You mean, you want to put a long line..."

Xiao Han smiled: "That's right, sometimes blindly getting rid of people is not the best way, after letting them come in, release some fake news to them appropriately, it will be more conducive for us to find out the identity of the people behind them, and it will be easier for people with bad intentions to take the bait!" ”

"What the master means, the slave understands, the slave will do it!"

"It's not in a hurry, it's still according to the usual schedule, it's too deliberate, and it's even more suspicious." Xiao Han said lightly. After Liu Xing received the instructions, he turned around and left.

After seeing Liu Xing leave, Cuiwei was puzzled: "Isn't the master afraid of 'luring the wolf into the room' when he does this?" ”

Xiao Han replied slowly: "I'm afraid, why don't you be afraid, but since you want to get something, you naturally have to pay something, and this palace still understands this truth." ”

As soon as the words fell, Ziluo appeared beside her and whispered a few words in her ear, Xiao Han's face became serious after listening.

She said with a blushing face: "Let's go, go to the palace on the outskirts of Beijing!" ”

Before leaving, she didn't forget to send someone to the palace to report the news, and said that there was a 'big event' in the palace, and asked the prince to go to the palace on the outskirts of Beijing as soon as possible.

Xiao Han didn't forget to ask Ziluo to send a secret guard to investigate what happened, after all, in addition to the 'murder' in the palace, it just so happened that the murderer and the victim were all princes of the vassal kings, and it was impossible to say that the prince was not present for such a big matter. Not only that, but this matter may also alarm the emperor's uncle.

Thinking of the possible impact of this incident, Xiao Han suddenly felt that his head was as big as a fight, they originally detained these sons in the name of 'praying for His Majesty', but at this time, people died in the capital again. When the time comes, when these two vassal kings learn about it, they will inevitably put pressure on the capital. Therefore, this news must be suppressed until the original situation of the matter is clarified and a decision is made.

Along the way, many thoughts flashed through Xiao Han's mind, and he even suspected that this matter itself might be a 'bureau', a bureau dedicated to the royal family!

However, this is just her speculation, and there is no evidence to prove it.

Xiao Han rode directly to the palace, and it took nearly an hour to rush to the palace on the outskirts of Beijing. When he arrived at the palace, it was already surrounded by the forbidden army, and Xiao Han asked and realized that the forbidden army had rushed to the palace as quickly as possible at the holy decree of His Majesty and took care of everyone.

When Xiao Han arrived, the leader saluted her: "Minister Zhang Ke, see Her Royal Highness the Princess, Your Majesty has a decree, the palace murder case will be handled by His Highness, and we will obey His Highness's dispatch!" ”

"Wake up, what's going on now?"

"Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, the scene has been protected by the ministers, and the murderer has also been caught, everything is up to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Xiao Han walked in quickly and found that the scene was bloody, there was a male corpse in a palace, the blood had dried up, and it seemed that he had been dead for several hours.

On the other side, a young man with a delicate face, who looked to be only about fourteen years old, was guarded by two forbidden soldiers, and his whole body trembled, and he seemed to be quite afraid.

Seeing his appearance, Xiao Han seemed to have some impressions, after all, when the prince of the vassal prince entered Beijing, she also saw it, and she still had some memories of these people.

After thinking for a while, she was not so sure: "You are the prince of King Qin?" She hoped that her guess was wrong, if the young man in front of her was really the prince of King Qin, it meant that he was Xiao Qi's biological brother, and she was quite annoyed when she thought that she had sent someone to inform Xiao Qi to come here. But if someone is being sent to stop him now, it is obviously too late. Counting the time, I'm afraid he's not far from here!

When the young man saw her, he was like seeing a life-saving straw: "Princess Pingle, I was wronged in this matter, Xiao Sheng really didn't kill him!" ”

Xiao Han frowned unconsciously, and said lightly: "This matter will be investigated by the palace, if you do it, you will not be able to escape punishment." If it weren't for you, this palace wouldn't have wronged you. What the facts are, we still need to wait for the investigation before we can reach a conclusion. ”

Signaling the forbidden army on the side to continue to look at people, Xiao Han covered his nose and looked at the body that was already cold, because the face was too hideous, Xiao Han didn't recognize who died for a while. Thinking of what the prince of Qin said just now, Xiao Han searched it out of his memory.

Xiao Sheng is the son of King Qian, King Qian is over 50 years old this year, and has five sons and one daughter under his knees, of which only one daughter is born by his wife and has been married for more than ten years. And Xiao Sheng is the eldest son, who was raised by Princess Qian from a young age and raised by Princess Qian. Therefore, it is regarded as the nominal 'eldest son' of King Qian, and after Xiao Sheng became an adult, King Qian asked him to be crowned the son.

As for Xiao Sheng, perhaps because of Princess Qian's spoiling, he has been quite arrogant and domineering since he was a child, and when he was in the fiefdom, he didn't cause much trouble, and he was a character who would offend people. It would not be surprising if someone sought revenge on him.

But the place where the accident happened was the Imperial Palace, so this is a big problem. If the vassal kings from all over the world learn the news, they are afraid that they will write to ask these princes to return to the fiefdom, then the emperor's uncle's strategy will be lost.

When Xiao Han was thinking about who to send to investigate this case, Xiao Yan had already arrived in a hurry, and seeing that he was disheveled and panting, he should have hurried here. Seeing his flustered look, Xiao Han softened his heart again, and his voice carried a hint of reproach: "Why are you in such a hurry, you were drunk yesterday, how can you get it if you are contaminated with the cold?" ”

Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, since Xiao Han still cared about him, it meant that things still had a turn for the better, what he was most afraid of was that Xiao Han didn't care about him at all, and regarded him as a 'transparent person', and that result was the most unacceptable to him.

"What is the situation now, can Princess Pingle tell Lone?" Worried that there are other people there, Xiao Yan can only hold the prince's shelf, and in front of outsiders, he can't lose his manners, and he will be criticized by the ministers at that time.

Xiao Han briefly explained the situation, and his tone was full of worry: "There is such a big thing happening in the lower palace right now, although I ordered someone to block the news, it may not be that the news will leak." In order to prevent the vassal kings from making trouble, it is better to solve this matter as soon as possible! ”

"Is there a candidate in Sister Han's heart?" Xiao Qi asked.

Xiao Han was full of sorrow: "If Zhang Wang hadn't left Beijing, this matter could have been handed over to him to deal with, even if his official position could not serve as the chief judge, he could also be a deputy judge, so that we could also keep track of the progress at any time." But it just so happened that Zhang Wang happened to leave Beijing, and we didn't have anyone available. At present, we can only select someone from Dali Temple or the Criminal Department to be in charge of this case, but I am afraid that we will not be able to interfere too much at that time. ”

Xiao Qi groaned: "This matter is very important, it is better for my father to come forward to solve it." If we make a move, the hundred officials in the court will not mention it for the time being, I am afraid that these feudal princes will not be convinced in the first place. ”

Xiao Han rubbed his eyebrows, and said helplessly: "What you said is also right, this matter should be reported to the emperor's uncle first." ”

After speaking, she ordered Zhang Ke to continue to stay and guard the palace, protect the scene, and then temporarily lock the prince of Qin in his own room and not allow a single step out.

Hearing 'Prince of Qin', Xiao Qi's eyes flashed with coldness, and then he turned around and left the palace without looking back, as if he had no interest in his 'biological brother'. Even if he is now suspected of murder.

On the way back, they basically understood the matter, and as soon as they arrived at the palace, they hurriedly went to Yong'an Palace.

When he arrived at Yong'an Palace, Gonggong Liu was already waiting outside the palace, and when he saw them, he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The two highnesses can be regarded as coming back, today the matter of King Qian's son reached the ears of His Majesty, His Majesty was furious, and vomited blood on the spot. However, His Majesty has instructed that as soon as the two Highnesses return to the palace, they will come to see them immediately. Two of you, please put..."

When the two of them heard this, their hearts sank, and their expressions were also a touch of heaviness, and after entering the Yong'an Palace, they immediately saluted: "Erchen (Pingle) has seen my father (Your Majesty), long live my emperor, long live long live." ”

"Ahem, get up, tell me about King Qian's case, what the hell is going on!" Emperor Wu An said while coughing.

Xiao Han simply said the matter, the cause of the matter was that a few days ago, several princes met to go to Yanyu Building, during the banquet, the prince of Qin was not strong enough to drink, and sarcastically said a few words to the prince of Qian, who was also the dead Xiao Sheng, so that Xiao Sheng could not get off the stage in front of everyone. Xiao Sheng was angry, and beat the prince of Qin on the spot.

After being beaten, I don't know if it was because of the drunkenness or some other reason, the prince of Qin put down his cruel words and said that he would definitely look good! This was heard by everyone present.

Last night, someone could prove that he saw the prince of Qin come out of the palace of King Qian, but today in the morning, some palace people found that King Qian's son died in his house.

When the forbidden army arrived, the prince of Qin was about to flee, but he was captured and now detained in his own residence, guarded by the forbidden army.

After listening to Xiao Han's words, Emperor Wu An sighed: "The news is blocked? ”

"Uncle Hui, Pingle has already ordered a blockade, but he is afraid that the 'person with a heart' will pass it on secretly, so Pingle thinks that it is better to prepare for this matter!" Xiao Han replied respectfully.

Emperor Wu An coughed a few more times and sighed: "Okay, you don't have to meddle in this matter, I will convene the three divisions for trial in a while, and the rest will be left to them to investigate." ”

Obviously, Emperor Wu An didn't plan to let them get involved in this matter, after all, if this kind of thing was not good, something might happen to the two prisoners. This matter, the persecuted Emperor Wu An had to come forward to solve it.

The two of them were ordered to retreat, and since Emperor Wu An had already ordered it, Xiao Han naturally didn't plan to meddle in this matter. Since the emperor's uncle arranged it from this, it means that he has already thought about it!

But Xiao Han was sensitive to Xiao Qi's absent-mindedness, she hesitated for a while before asking, "Are you worried about the prince of Qin?" ”

"How could Sister Han have such an idea? The prince of Qin committed such a serious crime, what is the result, he should bear it himself, what is there to worry about? Xiao Qi quibbled.

But after this temptation, Xiao Han already understood in his heart that Xiao Qi didn't seem to care, but he still cared a little about this matter in his heart. After all, they are blood relatives, how can they be given up so easily?

It's just that Emperor Wu An has already ordered that they should not be allowed to interfere in this matter, and in her opinion, she is in favor of this arrangement of the emperor's uncle.

Xiao Qi was originally raised from the King of Qin to the knee of Emperor Wu'an, and was also canonized as the crown prince, if he was involved with the King of Qin, not only would it not be of any benefit to him, but it might cause the suspicion of the emperor's uncle or other ministers, and it would also bring unnecessary ambition to the King of Qin. Therefore, she didn't want Xiao Qi to have too much contact with King Qin.
