Chapter 012 The culprit

Perhaps she hadn't recovered from the embarrassing atmosphere just now, Ye Wanruo couldn't help but touch her cheek after hearing the maid's words.

I was secretly annoyed with this girl in my heart, I really didn't know how to read words and looks. plainly let Yu Chi Jingyao see the joke!

However, this maid is not too bad, touching Ye Wanruo's outfit, she hurriedly took a coat and draped it on Ye Wanruo's body.

The light rain outside had gradually stopped, and the aroma of the earth after the rain seemed to be mixed with a faint smell of blood. The rain seems to be just a cover for tonight's assassination.

It is in response to the sentence 'The moon is dark and the wind is high on the night of killing, and the rain on a cloudy day kills people!' ’

At this time, a figure flashed in neatly outside the door, and I saw Zimo walking in with a meniscus knife on his back, and saluted respectfully towards Yu Chi Jingyao:

"Master!"

"How's it going?"

Yu Chi Jingyao just nodded lightly, and asked in a deep voice, with a pair of black jade eyes that were not shocked.

I don't know why, Ye Wanruo always felt that these five princes were not as indisputable as they appeared. In contrast, he is more like a hidden sword, waiting for the blade to be unsheathed.

As if sensing Ye Wanruo's scrutiny, Yu Chi Jingyao looked over with a smile, making Ye Wanruo subconsciously turn her eyes to the side.

Ye Wanruo didn't know when she was so unproductive? Could it be that people save themselves twice, so they don't know how to fight back?

Of course, Zimo didn't notice the exchange of expressions between the two, only to see that after hearing Yu Chi Jingyao's words, he immediately knelt down on one knee, clasped his hands into fists and pleaded guilty in front of Yu Chi Jingyao:

"Back to the master, the killer committed suicide by poisoning! Zimo is not doing well, and please punish the master! ”

There wasn't much surprise in Yu Chi Jingyao's eyes, this result was the same as he expected, wasn't it?

Since the killer was dispatched, how could he be caught so easily?

"Miss.... Miss.... Are you alright? ”

As the voice came in, I saw two figures rushing in from outside the door, looking frightened, and ran in in a panic to care about Ye Wanruo.

"Go down, this matter must be secretly investigated, don't alarm the other party."

"Yes! Master! ”

Yu Chi Jingyao didn't have too much harsh criticism of Zimo, glanced at the two girls who rushed in, and asked him to retreat after carefully instructing.

"Lingxiang and Yingxiang will take Miss to the backyard first--listen to the rain pavilion to rest!"

The majestic voice sounded, and he saw Ye Yushan walking in with tiger steps. With the help of Wei Chi Jingyao, Ye Yushan naturally believed that his daughter would not be harmed in the slightest.

Accompanied by the two girls, Ye Wanruo blessed Ye Yushan and Yu Chi Jingyao, and then left her courtyard to go to Tingyu Pavilion.

Looking at the back of his daughter leaving, Ye Yushan took out a dagger from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Yu Chi Jingyao thoughtfully:

"I don't know if Jing Yao can recognize this dagger?"

The dagger, which looks like an inconspicuous dagger, is unusually delicate, and the handle is inlaid with an extremely rare sapphire, which seems to be a status symbol of some kind.

It is said that it is extraordinary to see such a valuable dagger on the killer's body, I don't know what mystery is hidden in this dagger?

But at least it can be seen that the place where this dagger circulates should be at least a nobleman. Faintly, there seemed to be some vague handwriting in the sapphire.

Without hesitation, Yu Chi Jingyao took out the same similar short blade from his sleeve pocket, and pressed slightly on the sapphire's position, and the sapphire fell to the ground in response.

The original position of the sapphire was inlaid with the word 'Sheng' carved inside!

"It's up to them to think of such a clumsy planting!"

With just one glance, Yu Chi Jingyao concluded the result. He casually threw the dagger aside, took out a silk handkerchief and carefully wiped his fingers, and then threw it aside.

Come to think of it, who would be stupid enough to engrave their name on the dagger used by the killer? Isn't this tantamount to telling others that it's your own hands and feet?

Unless the person thinks his life is too long, there will be no such stupid approach.

"Uncle, are there any other clues?"

"The one who just fought me is a eunuch!"

After the killer committed suicide by poisoning, Ye Yushan personally confirmed his guess, and there was no doubt that it was a eunuch.

"It seems that in the battle for imperial power, in addition to Prince Sheng, there are forces that we don't know about are already ready to move."

At this moment, Ye Yushan finally understood, why did the Southern Qin Emperor love this fifth prince so much? This skill of understanding and analysis is not something that anyone can do.

Such a transparent and vigilant person is the first choice of the imperial ruler, but this fifth prince only dislikes imperial power and hates strife.

Every time Emperor Nanqin and Ye Yushan mentioned this, they couldn't hide the anxiety in their hearts. I don't blame the partiality of the Southern Qin Emperor, the nine sons of the dragon are still different, if the imperial power falls into the hands of the crown prince, I don't know if there is a future for the Southern Qin Kingdom?

There is no courtier who does not love his country, and Ye Yushan is the same, thinking of the worries of the Southern Qin Emperor, he unconsciously asked:

"Jing Yao, you really don't plan to...."

"Uncle, with all due respect, Jingyao said bluntly, now my father has also passed the year of knowing his fate. There is an undercurrent in Kyoto, and the dispute over imperial power is becoming more and more unpeaceful.

Wanruo is now almost at the age of Jilu, sometimes blind protection, it is better for her to know how to protect herself. After all, with the power of his uncle, it is easy to invite death for Wanruo! I hope this is what my uncle doesn't want to see! It's late tonight, Jing Yao won't bother anymore, and my uncle will rest early! ”

As he spoke, Yu Chi Jingyao saluted Ye Yushan and then turned to leave.

Even if Ye Yushan wanted to be a lobbyist for the Southern Qin Emperor, but the persistence and avoidance in Yu Chi Jingyao's eyes, Ye Yushan could see it through.

Now that a new force has emerged in Kyoto, it is not very clever to use such methods, but the intention of this culpation is quite clear.

No matter which dynasty it is, it is impossible to avoid the descendants yearning for imperial power and the almost perverted obsession with the throne.

It is said that they were born in the emperor's family, but they cannot enjoy the care of normal parents. From the time they were born, they had to spend their time in calculations and conspiracies, and even brothers had to think about each other and get along with each other.

With such a cold-blooded life of inhumanity and inhumanity, how can such pain be experienced by others?

I just don't know who the final victory will belong to in this struggle for imperial power in the Southern Qin Kingdom?

Especially as the Minister of the Guard, Ye Yushan, who holds heavy military power, cannot inhabit any of the forces, and it is particularly important for Mingzhe to protect himself.

Thinking of Wei Chi Jingyao's reminder, Ye Yushan felt that it was not unreasonable, it seemed that he really should let Wanruo face the reality early.

Now surviving in this troubled world, Ye Wanruo is a daughter, and it is easy to become a victim of either party. Ye Yushan would never watch such a thing happen!

Pacing with heavy steps, he walked out of the inner chamber....

At this time, it was in a gorgeous imperial palace in Kyoto.

A man in a purple and green auspicious cloud robe was constantly wandering in the study, his hands behind his back, and his frowning brows had betrayed his urgent mood at this time.

At this time, an old young man walked through the garden from the front hall, and after cautiously probing around the door of the study, he walked in through the door.

When the man saw the person walking in, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked anxiously:

"Ruiying, how's it going? Did the people who sent it out come back? ”

Na Ruiying did not answer immediately, but first closed the door vigilantly, and then turned back to the man and said:

"If you go back to the third prince, it's past the ugly time, and the people sent out haven't come back yet, so it seems that it has failed."

"Rubbish! It's all rubbish! Assassinating a little girl who has no martial arts can actually fail, what should I spend a lot of money to support them? ”

When Wei Chilu heard Ruiying's report, he was in a hurry and swept all the calligraphy and paintings on the desk to the ground.

"Whoa...."

With Wei Chilu's movements, the ground was in a mess in a blink of an eye, Rui Ying saw this and quickly knelt down on one knee, and said in fear:

"Please calm the anger of the third prince!"

"What's wrong with the third brother? Angry so much? Beware of the body that is angry! ”

As the voice outside the door sounded, a trace of panic flashed in Yu Chilu's eyes. Then he gave Rui Ying a look, and Rui Ying quickly got up with comprehension and leaned over to clean up the mess on the ground.

It's just that before Rui Ying could clean up, the door was pushed open from the outside, and after Wei Chixian walked in, the door of the study was closed from the outside again.

"Why did the second brother come over so late? Just now teaching Ruiying to practice calligraphy, this kid looks fine and smart, but in fact he is very stupid. Look at the appearance of this Muna, stunned, why don't you come over and salute the second brother! ”

Rui Ying really hid the gleam in her eyes, and after being stunned for a moment, she put the items in her hand on the side of the table.

walked over to Wei Chixian, bowed and said:

"The little one is greeting the second prince!"

Yu Chixian glanced at Rui Ying lightly, did not let him get up, but looked at Yu Chilu beside him, and talked about what happened tonight:

"Today, Ye Wanruo was taken into the palace by her father, and when she left the palace, she was assassinated at the palace gate, I don't know if the third brother heard about it?"

"Oh? And what else is there? My brother has never heard of it! ”

When he heard Yu Chixian's question, Yu Chilu's heart tightened twice, but he still pretended to answer calmly.

That Wei Chi Xian didn't pay attention to Yu Chi Lu's expression, and he was not surprised to hear his answer, nodded his head, and spoke in a deep voice again:

"I heard that thanks to the help of my fifth brother, our cousin was not injured. However, the manipulator did not give up, and actually sent a killer to ask for his life when he was a child. Fortunately, there are people from me in the Ye Mansion, and I just came to report that the single name of the prince actually appeared on the dagger used by the killer. What do you think about this matter, third brother? ”

Yu Chilu glanced at Rui Ying, who was still in a saluting posture, it seems that Yu Chixian came here tonight to ask the teacher for guilt.

However, he has no evidence to prove that he did it, and he cannot admit what he says. What's more, in Wei Chilu's heart, he didn't think that what he did was wrong?

Wouldn't it be more helpful to get rid of Ye Wanruo and not let any party benefit?

Thinking of this, Wei Chilu nodded, pretending to think and replied:

"I heard before that the queen mother was a lobbyist for the prince and wanted to marry her cousin and enter the door to be the crown princess. To say that the position of the crown princess is coveted by many people, who knows that our cousin does not know how to lift up, and she has failed the good intentions of the queen mother.

It is not impossible to say that he angered Prince Sheng and killed the killer. It's just a pity that our smart cousin escaped this catastrophe unscathed. ”

"How does the third brother know that his cousin is not injured? Could it be that the third brother received any news? ”

Trying to find the loopholes in Yu Chilu's sentence, Yu Chixian raised his eyebrows, and looked at Yu Chilu with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
