Chapter 347: The Xiao Family's Crisis
Su Jiu rushed over as soon as possible.
The bead curtain in the pavilion was rolled high, and the little maid with the tea sat on the ground with a white face, pointing to the curtain and unable to speak.
Inside the curtain, a maid fell in a pool of blood, long since she lost her breath.
Xiao Huiran held the blood-stained knife and fainted beside him.
In this situation, it looks like Xiao Huiran killed the maid.
The prince, Lu Jiaoyi and others finally arrived, Lu Jiaoyi's little face turned white, and she hid directly in Yuan Xu's arms, "Brother Prince!" ”
Yuan Xu's face was ugly, "This woman, whose daughter is it?" ”
Someone immediately reported: "Your Highness, she is a girl in the second room of Xiao Mansion, and her name is Xiao Huiran." ”
Yuan Xu sat down in his robe, "What a Xiao Mansion, raising such a daughter, could it be that he wants to assassinate the palace?!" ”
Shaw ......
Su Jiu quietly clenched his hands, but heard Lu Jiaoyi deliberately remind: "Brother Prince, the maid who was killed is Sister Hua's person, she will definitely be angry if she knows!" ”
Hua Yueji was about to be very important to the crown prince, and his brows immediately furrowed, "Come on, send Xiao Huiran to prison and hear the trial on a later date!" ”
Before the guards could step forward, the sound of military boots suddenly sounded.
The crowd got out of the way, Su Jiu looked over, and it was Xiao Tingxiu who came in.
Xiao Tingxiu's face was grim, he glanced at the tragic situation in his eyes, and indifferently bowed his hand to Yuan Xu, "The minister's escort is unfavorable, disturbing the prince, and I hope to forgive my sins." Although her sister Xiao Huiran is stubborn, she will never kill anyone. There may be other hidden circumstances behind this case, please allow Your Highness to investigate this case thoroughly. ”
Su Jiu knew that the prince's safety in Jiangnan was all the responsibility of Brother Lobby and Xu Jishui.
If such a big thing happened, if it was not carefully examined, Xiao Huiran's death would be small, and it would be a big matter to implicate the Xiao Mansion.
But......
Lu Jiaoyi sneered, "Lord Xiao wants to exonerate Xiao Huiran with red mouth and white teeth, how can there be such a good thing in the world?!" The crown prince stayed in the Xu Mansion, everyone searched before they came in, Xiao Huiran was able to bring a knife into the mansion, you must have deliberately omitted it, so that she could do whatever she wanted in the Xu Mansion, and even, assassinate-"
"Jiaojiao!"
Yuan Xu suddenly stopped her.
He got up and patted Xiao Tingxiu's shoulder with a gentle smile, "If there is no evidence, this palace never makes suspicions." Ting Xiu has been in Songzhou Mansion for many years, and he has heard that many major cases have been solved, and this palace has always respected you very much. ”
Xiao Tingxiu's face was expressionless, and he arched his hand and said, "Thank you for the prince's trust." ”
Yuan Xu smiled again, and changed his words, "It's just that this case implicates your sister, in order to avoid suspicion, this palace thinks it's better for you not to touch this case." In addition, there are many things to do in the yamen, so you don't have to escort around the palace anymore, go back and do your own thing. Ting Xiu, this palace is thinking about you and the reputation of the Xiao family. ”
Xiao Tingxiu lowered his eyes and was forced to be.
Yuan Xu handed over the assassination case to Xu Jishui.
Coming out of the pavilion, Xu Jishui smiled with his hands, "Old Xiao, you and I have been fighting in Jinling City for so many years, where should I investigate this case?" Check it out on your Xiao family's head? ”
As he was talking, a maid hurriedly rushed over, panting breathlessly: "Young Master Xu, our girl, our girl ......"
The direction of her finger was the Lingshui Building where Hua Yueji lived.
Xu Jishui frowned and immediately swept away.
The maid stroked her heart and gasped to follow.
Su Jiu looked at Xiao Tingxiu, "Big brother, what are we going to do now?" ”
The man was silent.
It didn't take long for a commotion to suddenly sound on the side of Lingshui Tower.
Zhou Baojin, who ran to see the bustle, rushed back and opened his eyes, "Wow Susu, you don't know, Xu Jishui, Xu Jishui actually broke into Huayueji's boudoir!" Kazuki Ji was changing her clothes, and she was so angry that she beat him out! The prince was furious and told Xu Jishui to hurry up with the soldiers and horses of the government and not to appear again! ”
She's just watching the hilarity.
Su Jiu chuckled in his heart, Brother Lobby and Xu Jishui were driven out of Xu's Mansion, who is responsible for the prince's safety?
She looked at Xiao Tingxiu, her cousin was about to think of her, her brows were tightly knit at this time, and her face was very ugly.
After a long time, he asked Zhou Baojin, "Who is now responsible for the prince's safety and solving the murder case?" ”
Zhou Baojin pointed his fingers and said shyly: "It's my brother, Zhou Fengxian ......"
Su wine to support the forehead.
The name of Zhou Fengxian is known to everyone in Jinling City.
He has him for stealing chickens and dogs, and he has him for flirting with women from good families when he goes to the flower building, although he is indeed righteous, but right......
He is indeed a bale of bales.
Rather than asking him to be in charge of his safety and asking him to solve the murder case, it would be more reliable to call the wolf dogs in the yamen to do this.
Anyway, the wolfdogs are also trained, aren't they?
"Su Su ......" Zhou Baojin cried with a sad face, and pulled Su Jiu's sleeve again, "It is impossible for my brother to investigate the case, and it is impossible not to find out the ugly Yin Mao in this life, I am afraid that your fourth sister will die unjustly in prison." ”

Hint: Lu Jiaoyi is not a murderer.
