Hua Jieyu trembled in her heart, her eyes were slightly cold, and she immediately smiled gently, "The concubine doesn't understand what the adults mean." ”

"Phantom Sound has been captured alive, and everything that should be spit out has been vomited. Now that it's your turn, do you have anything to add? Zhao Wuwu let go of his hand, turned around unhurriedly and walked to the side and sat down.

At first glance, seeing Zhao Wuwu's confident appearance, a trace of panic quickly flashed in Hua Jieyu's eyes. Fortunately, she had seen the world after all, so she immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "My lord, the concubine is wronged!" ”

"Where is the injustice?" Zhao Wuwu asked coldly.

Hua Xie Yu knelt on the ground, "Concubine Ben Siluo, of course, she chooses wood to rest, how can she be so ignorant." I also hope that the adults will be aware of everything, and the concubine really has no two hearts, and she has no intention of being accepted. ”

"Is what Phantom Yin said false?" Zhao Wuwu chuckled, "Then I'll take a look at how many punishments you can withstand." Of course, Dongchang's methods are naturally powerful, and I won't stop it, how long can you survive yourself. If you want to be as stubborn as Phantom before, I'm afraid you'll have to suffer a lot. It's a pity that this flower-like face, after this incident, even if you are wronged, you can't live on your skin in the future. ”

"Your Excellency!" Hua Xie was shocked, "The concubine is really wronged, she really hasn't done those things, and I hope that the adults and adults will know it!" ”

Zhao Wuwu rubbed his eyebrows, "Didn't Governor Xue tell you earlier, who is this official?" ”

Hua Jieyu's body trembled slightly, "Lord Zhao said that Lord Zhao is a Qincha. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Wuwu sneered twice, "It seems that you still don't want to tell the truth." ”

How could Xue Yuanjian not tell this flower that there was something about him? Zhao Wuwu asked, just to try whether this flower Xie Yu was sincere. Hua Jieyu is a smart woman who is literate and hyphenates, so she will not fail to hear the meaning of Zhao Wuwu's words.

But she doesn't have the slightest intention of releasing now, which means that she has taken a fluke or has no intention of surrendering at all. For those who are stubborn, Zhao Wuwu has little patience, although she has time, but she does not want to waste time on these stubborn stones.

Hua Xie Yu knelt there and continued, "There is really no concubine, if the adult insists on determining the guilt of the concubine, the concubine has nothing to say. How reasonable these words were, it seemed that Zhao Wuwu had really wronged her.

If Zhao Wuwu is a man, I'm afraid he will really be moved.

Such a beautiful woman, so delicate that people feel that they are wringing water, and they can't wait to crush her in their arms. But unfortunately, Zhao Wuwu didn't want to pity Xiang Xiang and cherish the jade at the moment.

"This official is from the capital, and he is the emperor's order. Didn't the prefect tell the lady that this official is not only a messenger, but also a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, the son of the prime minister, the emperor himself as the crown prince and young master, and a member of the imperial court? "With so many names superimposed, no matter which identity it is, it is enough to crush everything in this Xue Mansion.

Hua Jieyu's body trembled slightly, and he knelt there without raising his head or making a sound.

Seeing this, Zhao Wuwu got up and walked slowly outside.

Until he stopped at the door, Zhao Wuwu looked at the dark night outside, and opened his mouth coolly, "Then the official will make a bet with you!" If nothing happens in the courtyard of King Qi tonight, the official will serve you tea and admit your mistake, otherwise, you can choose one of the one hundred and eight punishments in Dongchang. ”

When the voice fell, Hua Jieyu's body stiffened in shock, and he suddenly raised his head to stare at Zhao Wuwu's back.

Zhao Wuwu is also waiting, waiting for the news of landing Guoan.

In this Liyang City, it will not be so peaceful soon. Until the city shook, saying that there was an accident in the courtyard of King Qiyou. As for what? Just look at the blazing fire that burns half the sky!

Zhao Wuwu coughed lightly, a pale face slowly turned sideways, and glanced at Hua Jieyu, "What did I just say?" You see, it was fulfilled soon, wasn't it? Are you ready to be punished? ”

Hua Jieyu's eyes widened, and she instantly collapsed on the ground, "I-no!" ”

However, Zhao Wuwu has already gone out, she has already given Hua Xie Yu a chance, and now that the time has passed, there is nothing to say. Zhao Wuwu went out, Su Xi came in, and immediately let people detain Hua Jieyu.

There was a hint of despair and horror on that beautiful face.

The punishment of Shangshu Mansion is naturally far worse than that of the East Factory, so Zhao Wuwu will not let Su Xi make a move, this is Lu Guoan's specialty, and the people of the East Factory should be entertained.

What Zhao Wuwu has to do now is to go to King Qiyu's other courtyard.

When I went out, I happened to meet Xue Yuanjian, who was hurriedly getting dressed and preparing to go out. At first glance, seeing Zhao Wuwu looking at himself, Xue Yuanjian hurriedly saluted, "Xiaguan-"

"No more nonsense!" Zhao Wuwu walked away, "Qi Yu Wang Courtyard!" ”

When Xue Yuanjian got the news, Zhao Wuwu also got the news, and it is conceivable that Zhao Wuwu's ability is really not inferior to his local official. After all, it was the power of the Dongchang Monk Shufu that was strong, and at the moment when the courtyard was on fire, Lu Guoan had already ordered the entire courtyard to be surrounded.

Today, the fire has subsided and has not been completely extinguished.

Zhao Wuwu got out of the carriage and stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at Lu Guoan, whose eyebrows were slightly gloomy, "What's the situation now?" ”

Lu Guoan immediately saluted, "My lord! He glanced at Xue Yuanjian instead.

Lu Guoan was naturally cautious, and seeing that Zhao Wuwu didn't say much, or asked him to avoid it, he clenched his fists and said bluntly, "Back to Lord Zhao's words, the fire had already started when the humble duty arrived. According to the investigation, it started from the direction of the kitchen, and then the fire spread rapidly and burned directly to the courtyard of the prince. ”

"What about Hu Qing?" Zhao Wuwu asked.

Lu Guoan lowered his eyes, "The humble position made people rush in, but the prince's courtyard was empty, and there was no one." In the midst of the fire, nothing could be seen clearly. The fire is too big, and the humble can only let people put out the fire first. ”

"A good other courtyard can even walk in the water." Zhao Wuwu looked at Xue Yuanjian with a slightly cool expression, "This Liyang City is really a good place for dry weather, I don't know if the official's post house will catch fire if he can't make up his mind, maybe the official can disappear." Bao Buqi woke up and returned to the capital, which is really exciting! Xue Yuanjian's body was trembling, "Xiaguan, Xiaguan—"

Zhao Wuwu took out a handkerchief, pinched a corner and hung it in the air, "Extinguish the fire as quickly as possible, and be sure to find the whereabouts of the prince." If King Qi Yu makes a mistake, everyone is guilty! ”

With an order, the people from the prefect's yamen quickly rushed up and worked with the people from the East Factory to put out the fire. By the time the fire was extinguished, it was already half an hour later, and the huge courtyard was now filled with white smoke, and it had lost its original elegance.

Zhao Wuwu stepped on the water stains, smelled the pungent smell of charcoal, and slowly walked into the courtyard.

The people of Dongchang were searching for the corpses in the fire, and many men and women had moved out, some of them were burned beyond recognition, and some were burned to death. Even in the courtyard of King Qi You, a lot of charred corpses were also carried out.

"Lord Wang, he won't-" Xue Yuanjian's forehead broke out in cold sweat, and his body trembled like chaff, "He won't die, right?" ”

Zhao Wuwu glanced at him coldly, "Lord Prefect, eat more pig brains to make up!" ”

Xue Yuanjian swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his face was frightened, and he didn't dare to say anything.

Looking around, Zhao Wuwu reached out and picked up a piece of burnt wood, and the water stains blurred the black carbon stains, staining her white fingertips with ink. Zhao Wuwu put the charcoal between his nose and sniffed it gently, and then threw the wood out casually in Xue Yuanjian's intently sight.

"The kitchen is over there." Zhao Wuwu's eyes sank slightly, "The prince's courtyard is here, how does Governor Xue think this fire came here?" ”

"The wind, the wind blows!" Xue Yuanjian said.

Zhao Wuwu smiled coldly, "I don't know where the evil wind blows from, so that this fire is like having long feet, and it is really not easy to come here against the wind." What does Governor Xue think? ”

Xue Yuan was stunned for a moment, neither smiled nor answered, so he could only remain silent.

Lu Guoan hurried over, "My lord, I didn't find the whereabouts of Wang Ye and Hu Qing. ”

"Didn't find it?" Zhao Wuwu looked at Xue Yuanjian, his eyes were dark, and he ordered in a cold voice, "If you want to see people in life, you must see corpses in death, and you must find the whereabouts of the prince no matter what." The prince is still injured, if something happens, how can he get it? ”

"The lowly position has been rummaged through." Lu Guoan sighed lightly, "I can only wait for the news for the time being." ”

Zhao Wuwu said, "The prefect of the troublesome mansion can block the news, don't leak the news of the disappearance of the prince." "The people who came were all the officials of the prefect's yamen and the people from Dongchang, which is why Zhao Wuwu did not mobilize the officers and soldiers when he saw the fire.

The fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xue Yuanjian hurriedly saluted, "If you lose the prince, you can't afford it." ”

"Not only can't afford it, but if you don't make trouble, you will be killed." Zhao Wuwu's voice was cold, "If you want to come to the prefect, you don't dare to joke with the official with your own head!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Xue Yuanjian raised his sleeve to wipe his sweat.

Zhao Wuwu turned around and left, "There is a fire in the other courtyard, and the official asks the prince to move to the Xue Mansion for a while, and when the prince recovers, the official will personally welcome the prince back to Beijing." After speaking, she stared at Xue Yuanjian meaningfully, "There is a temporary residence of Lord Lao Zhifu to let the prince recuperate, and the prince needs to recuperate." Got it? ”

Xue Yuanjian gasped and immediately bowed his head, "Xia Guan understands!" ”

"I hope you really get it!" Zhao Wuwu brushed his sleeves away.

As a result, Xiao Rong, the king of Qiyou, disappeared.

However, the people of Liyang City knew that the fire in the other courtyard was great, and Lord Qincha took the prince to live in the prefect's mansion to recuperate. Now the streets are full of officers and soldiers, and the entire Liyang City immediately presents a scene of heavy security. Even if you enter and exit the city gate, you also need to strictly investigate.

Su Xi was puzzled, "Childe, if this matter reaches the capital, I am afraid that the emperor will blame it." At that time, the son is afraid that it will be difficult to escape the responsibility, what should this be? "Losing the prince is not a small crime.

Zhao Wuwu was not in a hurry, "He did it so obviously, it was clear that he didn't want to return to Beijing, do you think that if I report this matter to the imperial court, which is more important than my crime of defrauding the king?" ”

"But we have no evidence to prove that the prince is missing by himself." Su Xi narrowed his eyes, "This is the key to the matter." ”

"Isn't the key given to you?" Zhao Wuwu smiled coldly, "King Qi Yu wants to test my attitude, and at the same time, he is also testing my skills." ”

Su Xi's eyes were slightly dark, "Childe is talking about phantom sounds and flower interpretations?" ”

"Xue Yuanjian doesn't have the courage to dare to do tricks in front of me, do you think he can control me with his virtue?" Zhao Wuwu rubbed his eyebrows, "I'm just worried—"

"Worried about what?" Su Xi was puzzled.

Zhao Wuwu narrowed his dangerous eyes, "My father returned with King Qi You, it stands to reason that King Qi You is unwilling to return to Beijing, and it is impossible for my father not to be aware of it." But if my father found out, why did he agree to let me come and invite the prince back to Beijing? Unless ......"

Su Xi was shocked, "Unless what?" Suddenly, she suddenly realized, "Unless this is what Xiangye set earlier, in order to test Childe's mind?" Could it be that Xiangye had some kind of agreement with King Qi You earlier? ”

It's hard to say, this is collusion.

With his cold hand, he clenched the cup in his hand hard, Zhao Wuwu's body stiffened slightly, and he didn't speak again.

Dad, don't you even have the slightest trust in your daughter?

If this is true......
