"I'm afraid it's related to the case of the Ministry of Works." Wei Wuxian said

"The case of the Ministry of Works?" Zhou Yunxue raised her head and looked at him, she didn't know about this case

Wei Wuxian saw that she didn't know, so he said, "In last year's case, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was falsely accused of selling weapons by his subordinates, and I heard that the evidence was conclusive, and the fourth prince was ordered to investigate, and the evidence was also submitted by him. ”

I see, she didn't know about the affairs of the court in her previous life, although she had a relationship with Wei Wuxian in this life, but she paid little attention, it seems that she still has to learn more about what happened in the court.

"Then the Ministry of Industry really sells weapons?" Weapons are strictly controlled.

Wei Wuxian looked at the military patrol envoy who came in a hurry with people below, and said loudly, "There are people who want to eat this piece of meat from the Ministry of Industry, and the fourth prince is afraid that he will be used as a gun." ”

"Who has that guts?" Zhou Yunxue Road

"What do you say, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu who has been beheaded is the prince's person." Wei Wuxian glanced at her faintly

Zhou Yunxue lowered her head and thought, "What about now?" ”

"On the surface, he is the person of the second prince."

"Oh? Is there a master in the back? Zhou Yunxue looked up and asked him

Wei Wuxian nodded, the corners of her lips slightly hooked, "That's interesting." ”

Because the officers and soldiers of the army patrol joined the killer, they were all killed, and only the little girl who had just stabbed the fourth prince was captured alive, and was pressed to the ground by two guards and couldn't move.

Wei Wuxian said, "Let's go down." ”

Several people fell to the ground, lychees and grapes covered their mouths and retched as soon as they landed, the ground was covered with blood and stumps and broken arms, Zhou Yunxue's face was also miserable, she had never seen this kind of scene in her two lives, although she was not like two maids, but her chest was also boiling, Wei Wuxian took her head and buried it in her chest, patted her back, and said softly, "Don't look." "He should have waited and come down.

The four princes had been carried away, Zhaoyang walked towards them, his little face was also pale, the fifth prince followed behind him, with a cold face, Wei Wuxian nodded at them as a greeting, Zhou Yunxue heard the footsteps and hurriedly poked his face out of Wei Wuxian's arms.

"Cher!" Zhaoyang said: "Are you okay?" ”

Zhou Yunxue took two steps and took her hand, and said with a forced smile, "Second uncle, I'm fine, what about you?" ”

"I'm fine, too."

They all saw each other's pale faces, and they just smiled at each other, what happened just now was too terrifying for them boudoir women.

The two men looked at them, and the fifth prince glanced at Wei Wuxian sideways, and said playfully, "I didn't expect that Zhou Gongzi was hiding deeply, and there were such powerful guards around him." He saw clearly just now, the person named Dark One was more than enough for three killers, and the two maids beside Zhou Yunxue were also powerful characters, and their kung fu was no less than those Jin Wei who were responsible for protection and assassination in the palace, they were just a young master picked up by the Hou Mansion, how could such a powerful person be arranged around him? Besides, he also knows the situation of the Hou Mansion, Zhou Nanzhi will not train such a character, this Zhou Qingzhi is afraid that it is not simple, and he will definitely let people investigate it carefully when he goes back, if it is not someone who can use it, it will be destroyed as soon as possible.

Wei Wuxian didn't look at him, just hooked his lips and smiled, "Fifth Prince, I'm not your enemy, and you don't waste time on me, it's better to investigate the errand he did last year for the Fourth Prince, and now it is estimated that you can still find some evidence, if it's too late, it's hard to say, besides, isn't the mother family of the two of you already allied, if the Fourth Prince falls, then you will be weak." ”

The fifth prince's face turned cold, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, the alliance between him and the fourth brother was only known by the two family heads and the two concubines and the two of them, how did this person know, and the errand that the fourth brother did last year was also the case of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu selling weapons.

It's not good, I'm afraid it's a fraud! The fifth prince was shocked, his face became very ugly, and after taking a deep look at Wei Wuxian, he turned his head and walked towards Zhaoyang.

Looking at the gloomy face of the fifth prince coming over, Zhou Yunxue lowered his eyebrows slightly, Zhaoyang turned his head and frowned, and asked him suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

The fifth prince said, "The fourth brother is injured, I want to go and see, can I send you back to the house first?" ”

Zhaoyang lowered his head and thought about it, "It's okay, I'll go see him too." "Now although the killers have been ambushed, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be people who are not good for them hidden in the shadows, if they continue to stay, I am afraid that it will affect the Hou Mansion Zhou Yunxue and a few people, it is better to go back and see who is so bold as to dare to blatantly assassinate the prince.

Saying goodbye to Zhaoyang, Zhou Yunxue and Wei Wuxian returned to the Hou Mansion, and on the way back after this incident, they found that the street inspection was even more cautious, and Zhou Yunxue, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said, "It's a pity that it's such a good day." "It's a pity that this good day should have ruined Wu Changjun's reputation.

Wei Wuxian smiled, "There will be a chance in the future." ”

Zhou Yunxue just smiled, leaned her head against the wall of the car and closed her eyes, and sighed silently in her heart: But today is the best!

Wei Wuxian looked at her still pale little face, and his heart couldn't help but tighten a little, today's assassination was not aimed at them, but it was not necessarily in the future, he regretted it, he shouldn't have pushed her out.

Seeing that the two of them came back so soon, the old lady sent Mama Feng to inquire, Zhou Yunxue told the truth about today's events, and the old lady couldn't help but feel nervous after hearing Mama Feng's reply, but fortunately, both of them came back safely, so she ordered someone to let them rest well, and asked the kitchen to cook soothing soup and send it over.

Zhou Yunxue drank the soothing soup and fell asleep after washing, while the lychees and grapes eased their senses and fell asleep after drinking some pomegranate boiled soothing soup.

However, the fifth prince felt that it was very tricky, and when he sent Zhaoyang away, he said to the fourth prince lying on the bed, "Fourth brother, the assassin really didn't ask anything?" ”

The fourth prince glanced at him, but his expression was not as cynical as usual, with a hint of coolness, and his handsome face was gloomy, and he said, "It is the sixth daughter of Ma Jinhuai, the former secretary of the Ministry of Industry." "Just now Zhaoyang asked the origin of those killers, and he said that they were all dead, and that was a lie to her, and the girl who caught her was still being tortured in his dungeon.

"But the original human and material evidence was conclusive, and he was not wronged." The fourth prince frowned

"When the fourth brother checked, I thought that the certification of physical evidence was too complete and too simple, but it is impossible for a person who dares to sell weapons not to have a little scheming, I guess we were used as guns." The Five Princes said

The fourth prince now thinks carefully about the case is indeed too simple, when Ma Jinhuai was reported by his own people, his father ordered him to investigate, and then found the account book of selling weapons in the bookshelf of his study, and the report was his staff, and after the case was over, he died in his own house, Ma Jinhuai also killed himself in prison, the whole Ma family was punished by the nine clans, and the case ended like this, and now the sixth lady of the Ma family is afraid that she will be instigated to be assassinated on the street. Because at that time, he handed over the certification and physical evidence to his father, and he personally beheaded the Ma family.

"Who is trying to harm me?" The fourth prince frowned and muttered

"It's possible for anyone, the second brother, the third brother, including the prince, because Ma Jinhuai is the prince's person." The Five Princes said

"So the prince is the most suspicious." The fourth prince looked at him suspiciously

The fifth prince shook his head and said, "It looks like this, but it is not excluded that others will sow discord and let us confront the crown prince." ”

Both of them are younger than the others, the deployment time is short, the six departments have not penetrated deep enough, and the chess pieces laid out by Ma Jinhuai's case before have not yet touched the core, and they have not played his use, and it is not wise to face the other three now.

"Fourth brother, let's hold the soldiers for now, and tell my father about today's incident and ask him to send someone to investigate, and the one in the dungeon will kill it as soon as possible to prevent future troubles." If that person is handed over to his father, I am afraid that he will be suspicious.

The fourth prince nodded, called someone in to give orders, and the fifth prince asked about his injury again, and the two chatted a few words before the fifth prince left the fourth prince's mansion.

The guards around him looked at him with gloomy faces, so they didn't dare to speak, only followed him with a golden knife, the fifth prince looked up at the sky and sighed slightly, and ordered the guards behind him, "Jin Liu, you send someone to check Zhou Qingzhi of the Marquis of Yongning's mansion." ”

"Yes."

Jin Liu, the guard who followed him, did not ask the reason, he was a close confidant of the five princes, and knew that the five princes were not as gentle and unscrupulous as they seemed on the surface, he didn't like the people under his hands to talk a lot, as long as he obeyed orders.

Today, Zhou Qingzhi's strength made him feel a little uneasy inexplicably, he always thought that although the second master of the Hou Mansion wore a mask from time to time and was one of the four princes of Kyoto, he was just like ordinary people who could only chant poetry and paint, but he didn't think that the people around him were so powerful, since he said that he was not his enemy, then it was best to win over, and he couldn't wait for his hands to be free before making plans.

The next day, the emperor was furious when he learned about this, and someone at the feet of the Son of Heaven blatantly assassinated the prince, which was repaid, and immediately ordered someone to send a military patrol to him, reprimanded him, ordered him to strengthen the defense of the city, and ordered Jing Zhaoyin to be fully responsible for investigating the case.

Jing Zhaoyin had to kneel down with a bitter face to receive the order, the case of the Marquis of Yongning Mansion has not been solved, and today it is the assassination of the prince again, but how bad is it, the female killer caught by the fourth prince is dead, where can he check!

And after Zhou Yunxue said goodbye to the old lady, he came to look for Wei Wuxian, he was lying on the soft couch in the study, as if he had just woken up, squinting his phoenix eyes, and his expression was lazy, Zhou Yunxue paused and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, this man's face is really too lethal.

When Wei Wuxian saw him at the door, he opened his phoenix eyes, tilted his head slightly, and said with an innocent look, "Why are you stunned, come in." ”

Zhou Yunxue had no choice but to raise her hand to support her forehead, stride in, sit opposite it, and said, "You didn't sleep yesterday?" "Look at that fairy-colored face, it all shows tiredness.

Wei Wuxian closed his eyes, raised his hand, twisted his eyebrows, and said, "I haven't slept all night, and I just wanted to squint and you came." ”

"Did something happen?" Zhou Yunxue asked, and then got up and ordered a small stove to be set up on a fire, and she wanted to make tea.

When she sat back down, Wei Wuxian said, "It's okay." "It's not good to say that this kind of thing is murderous, look at her little face last night.

Zhou Yunxue didn't ask any more questions, and quietly waited for the water to boil to make tea.
