Chapter 130: Killing Chickens and Monkeys

"The old slave Shao Dong greets the prince and the princess. Shao Dong bowed.

Mu Qingyan looked at the middle-aged man in front of her, he was not greasy at all, his face was very tough, and at first glance, he didn't look like a person who was low and small, but like that kind of righteous martial artist.

Looking at this Shao steward of the Four Kings' Mansion, he is all in his own style, and he looks like a practicing family.

What does this mean?

There can be no doubt that this butler is definitely more than just a butler.

"Excuse me!"

"Princess Xie!" Shao Dong straightened up, looked at Mu Qingyan and said directly: "Princess, Lord Jiang Ming of the Criminal Department is asking to see you outside." ”

Jiang Ming: Why are you here? It's not the right way to come at this time!

Don't you know that her new love Yan'er just now needs to cultivate a good relationship with the prince?

When Mu Qingyan heard this, her eyes moved slightly, and she said, "Did he say what he came for?"

"This, the old slave doesn't know, Lord Jiang looks like he wants to say something, as if he just wants to tell the princess in person. ”

Mu Qingyan glanced at King's Landing, didn't get a response, looked away, and said, "Hard-working housekeeper Shao, Yan'er went to invite Master Jiang over." ”

"Yes!" Yan'er replied and walked out.

"The princess is serious, the old slave is just doing his own business!" Shao Dong replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Watching Yan'er leave, the courtyard became silent for a while.

Mu Qingyan didn't speak, a pair of eyes quietly looked at Shao Dong who was standing there indifferently, and King's Landing on the side just took the teacup brought by Zhang Hengxin and took a sip leisurely, as if he was enjoying it very much.

After a while, Yan'er brought Jiang Ming in.

"Xia Guan has seen the prince and the princess. Jiang Ming's expression was a little ugly, and his breath was a little unsteady and said.

Seeing the inevitable panic in Jiang Ming's expression, Mu Qingyan opened her mouth and asked, "Lord Jiang is in such a hurry to come to me in person, is there any tricky case in the Criminal Department?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the courtyard looked at Mu Qingyan, and Jiang Ming was even more relieved of the entanglement of thinking about how to speak......

After all, the current Mu Qingyan is no longer a person who has not become the fourth princess, how can he easily ask Mu Qingyan to go to the Criminal Department to help with things, or is it such a lowly thing as an autopsy.

Since the princess asked so, then, the lower official said it directly. After a pause, Jiang Ming said with a solemn expression: "Xiao Ping, the third master of the Xiao Mansion, died unexpectedly, and Lu Yanzuo has not yet detected the real murder weapon, so I want to ask the princess for help......"

"So, do you want to ask me to come over and help solve the case?" Mu Qingyan touched her chin and said disapprerovingly.

Isn't Xiao Ping Xiao Ying's father, why did he die suddenly?

Mu Qingyan subconsciously looked at King's Landing on the side, but saw that he was quietly looking at Jiang Ming, who was constantly touching the sweat left on his forehead with his sleeve.

"This king didn't hear clearly, what did you just say?" King Lin looked at Jiang Ming with his eyes and said lightly.

"Xiaguan, Xiaguan ......"

Mu Qingyan listened to Jiang Ming, and after going down for a long time, she didn't come out, so she couldn't help but be anxious for him.

"Jiang Ming, do you want to ask me to help, is it friendship or paid?"

Xiao Ping can also be regarded as an official of the imperial court, and I heard that the official position is not small, and the death of the imperial court official is naturally a big deal.

Where the emperor will put pressure on the criminal department, it is normal for Jiang Ming to come to the door, but Jun Lin looked indifferent as if he was indifferent to this matter, and he already knew it.

When Jiang Ming heard this, he hurriedly replied: "This matter is paid, and the emperor has already given a reward of 10,000 taels of gold to the person who solved the case." ”

"Ten thousand taels of gold is too little, add more!" Mu Qingyan snapped her fingers as if she was counting some number.

When Jiang Ming heard this, he was stunned for an instant, this bounty is not something he said would be added......

Zhang Heng, Zhang Qing, listened on the sidelines, their eyes twitched, their princess was blatantly soliciting business for herself and bargaining.

Luan'er and Yan'er, looking at their own young lady's shining eyes, knew that their young lady had locked the bounty of Master Jiang, and the things that were locked by the young lady, hehe......

Only, ask for more blessings!

"Do you think it's hard to sit in your current position, or do you dislike being too idle and have nothing to do?"

Mu Qingyan raised her eyes and turned her gaze to King's Landing, who was speaking, and the eyes of the two collided, only to see King's Landing's eyes dark, which made people look a little pressured.

"It's just a faΓ§ade, and there are a lot of broken things, and more importantly, the princess's monthly routine is too low-key, and it's not as practical as earning some extra money. Thinking of the concubine Ye just now, Mu Qingyan became angry and went back without avoidance.

As soon as these words came out, King's Landing's face was no longer difficult to describe, and the others felt a chill down their spines.

Jiang Ming was the most pitiful, the original autumn weather was the most pleasant, but he was sweating profusely, sweating like rain and sweating endlessly.

This, are the princess and the prince having an awkward relationship?

Isn't the princess making trouble a little out of place, why don't you let them make trouble when they're not there!

"Jiang Ming, have you thought about it, how much to add? My real value is different, the price is less, I won't do it!" Mu Qingyan didn't care what King's Landing thought now, she only thought about making money, and earning a lot of money to have confidence.

That day, she really couldn't stand the time when those warblers and swallows were in the Four Kings' Mansion, and only with money could she live a chic and free life.

Therefore, of course, the more silver the better, besides, she has seen the rules of the Four Princes' Mansion, and the princess's monthly routine is only one hundred taels of silver.

Oh, go, what can this do?

In the capital, everything is expensive, and drinking a cup of tea is dozens of times more expensive than other places, and I am really drunk to see such a monthly case!

The point is that the rules of the monthly rule are new, that is, the rules are new, and the person who sets it can only be the man in front of him.

"Xiaguan...... The lower officials will tell the emperor!" After Jiang Ming said this, he also felt that his whole body strength had been drained.

In this way, the fourth prince should go to the emperor when he is angry, not him.

The eyes of the fourth prince were too oppressive, and he was almost out of breath.

Today, it seems that it is not suitable to go out, not to find the fourth princess, not to work!

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news!"

"You dare?"

Damn it, it's going to rebel!

Sure enough, if you don't get up for a day, you have to go to the house to uncover the tiles, and you have to be cured!

Mu Qingyan tugged at the corners of her mouth, her eyes flashed, and she said firmly: "It is everyone's unique obligation to eliminate harm for the people, Lord Wang, I am just following the weak force that will contribute to the prosperity and stability of the imperial court." So, you won't let me do it?"

The miser, the little money she was given, she was not allowed to support herself and work hard to turn over and plough the fields!

"It's up to you to do everything you need to do, so what do you want the people from the Criminal Department to do?" King Landing said with a squint of his eyes.

Restless goblins!

When Jiang Ming heard this, he wanted to cry, the fourth prince wouldn't click him in anger, right? The princess is really not his problem!

When Mu Qingyan heard this, the corners of her mouth moved slightly, and she raised a confident smile, and said: "I'm an external employee, only important cases that they can't find out will look for me, and this shows my professionalism and authority in the field, and the most important thing is to let others know that the four princesses of the Four Princes Mansion are super invincible and powerful." ”

Luan'er and Yan'er were not surprised at all when they heard their young lady praise themselves so cheekily.

It's so thick-skinned!

Zhang Heng and Zhang Qing heard this, this was the first thought, and they drifted through their minds at the same time.

"What about shyness and modesty?"

Hearing this, the people present felt that there was a hint of a smile in the voice of the Four Princes.

The originally tense nerves were also put down, and Mu Qingyan's words next made them almost laugh out of a mouthful of old blood.

"Eaten by the chasing wind!"

"Nonsense!"

Zhang Heng looked at King's Landing, and saw that Mu Qingyan's spring-like little hands didn't know when, and they were already in King's Landing's hands.

In the sunlight, the slender, slender and crystal-like fingers of the jade, sometimes gently slashed across the palm of King's Landing, and sometimes held the slender fingers of King's Landing's big palm with distinct bones and contrasted.

One person plays, one person is willing to be played, and there is a conversation without a word.

Mu Qingyan looked at King's Landing with a smile in her eyes, and then said, "I promise not to mess around, master, you just let me go!"

...... This style of painting is also becoming too fast, right?

The original confrontation has become softer......

"The bounty is half of the king's. ”

"Seven threes. "She's the one who contributes, how can the big head be her more, he has to share half of it if he doesn't do anything, and his appetite is too big!

"Sanqi!" King's Landing gave her a faint look and spoke.

Mu Qingyan looked at King's Landing, gritted her teeth, and said, "Master, I have to contribute and brains, six or four points is my biggest concession, otherwise, you will wait for me to run away from home." ”

The fourth prince's face was not good, and the fourth princess said that she was going to run away from home...... Oh my God! Everyone didn't dare to breathe, and they couldn't wait to be deaf.

I don't know how long it has been.

"Good!"

A single word came out of King's Landing's nose, saving all those who were immersed in their own suffering.

When Jiang Ming heard this, he was immediately pardoned, and thought to himself, sure enough, the beauty cave Yingzuka, the fourth prince can't survive the tender offensive of a beautiful woman like the fourth princess.

Just when Jiang Ming was happy to be able to make a difference, King's Landing slowly spoke.

"Jiang Ming, the princess of this king is not an ordinary master, although she has the heart to do things for the court, but if she has the heart and supports the court, she has to eat to do it, so the work expenses are not less. The court officials were killed inexplicably, the nature of this matter is too bad, and a high reward must be offered to have a virtuous person come out and solve the case as soon as possible. ”

Jiang Ming was dumbfounded, where was this couple quarreling, it was clear that they were working together to calculate him, and then asked him to apply for a higher bounty from the emperor.

As soon as the fourth prince said this, he would definitely have to propose to the emperor that the reason why the bounty was too low was the reason why the case could not be solved, needless to say, he would also be scolded.

It's miserable to say, but it's miserable if you don't say it......

This time, he really felt like he was shooting himself in the foot!

"Lord Wang, what do you say the lower officials should say to the emperor?" Jiang Ming wiped the sweat with his sleeve, and then twisted the water off the sleeve with his hand.

"Say whatever you want, let the emperor watch it. ”

"Yes...... Yes!" The only people who dare to talk to the emperor like this are the four princes.

Mu Qingyan looked at Jiang Ming, who was about to faint, smiled slightly, and said, "Master Jiang, I'm waiting for your good news! ”

When Jiang Ming heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then he bowed his hand and said, "Lord, princess, go now." ”

It's no wonder that the fourth prince and Mu Qingyan became husband and wife, both of them are such shrewd lords, they are simply not equal.

"Remember the more, the better!" Mu Qingyan looked at Jiang Ming's withdrawn figure and said loudly.

Jiang Ming listened, his tense body loosened a little, was that consciousness less restrained, and was thinking about turning around, and in the next second, Mu Qingyan's words directly made him fall to the ground......

"Don't come back if you don't have anything to do, and if you come back, you will come back in vain. ”

As soon as Mu Qingyan's words came out, everyone couldn't help but look up.

At this moment, Mu Qingyan's eyes happened to meet the housekeeper Shao Dong, and the corners of Shao Dong's mouth also had a smile that could not be hidden, and there was more respect in his eyes.

Mu Qingyan replied with a big smile, her eyes were quiet, plain and far-reaching and quiet, and then, as if she remembered something, she said: "Steward Shao, the mouth in the courtyard is not strict, the hands and feet are not clean, according to the rules of the palace, how to deal with it!"

Shao Dong's eyes flashed with surprise, he also knew before he came that one of the bride maids who Mu Qingyan came with him actually accepted a bribe and told the maid of Concubine Ye about the situation in the courtyard of the four princesses.

Such a dissenting servant must be executed according to the rules of the palace.

And, Mu Qingyan must also know, but she indifferently asked him to deal with it as he wanted, at this time, doesn't the hostess generally have to show her kindness and generosity in front of the master?

Interesting, if the four princesses who don't play cards according to the rules of the cards are here, those backyard women in the Four Kings' Mansion are going to be people with their tails between them!

Shao Dong glanced at King's Landing, saw that his expression was indifferent, and responded: "Yes, princess!"

Then he said a few words to the little guy next to him, and the little guy retreated.

"Then Concubine Ye, what does the princess have to tell the old slave?"

"When you are grounded, you can't go out of the yard without permission. Mu Qingyan said without thinking.

Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed in Shao Dong's eyes, he originally thought that Mu Qingyan was going to give Ye Xun a big dismissal, but he didn't expect that it was a small punishment and a big commandment, and such a punishment would be practical for any punishment.

After all, Ye Xun wanted only one purpose, that is, to see the master and the fourth prince, and now Mu Qingyan has given a grounding order.

Then, if the fourth prince doesn't go to her courtyard, how can she not go out and find the prince in person.

"Yes!" Shao Dong replied respectfully.

"Princess, princess...... Spare your life...... Slave ......"

At this time, Ju actually rushed in from the outer courtyard.

When he was about to rush in front of Mu Qingyan, he was pressed to the ground by the two guards who chased him from behind, and then dragged out.

"No...... I don't...... Let's go, ......" Ju Na's hands tried hard to grasp something on the ground, but in vain she could only wail.

Mu Qingyan looked at Ju who was struggling with all her strength on the ground, and suddenly, said lightly: "You let her go!"

When the two guards heard this, they looked at the fourth prince, and then let go of Ju and stood aside.

Ju was already lying on the ground in prostration, and could only slowly raise her head to look at Mu Qingyan with begging for mercy, and said, "Thank you...... Thank you, Princess!"

Mu Qingyan looked at Ju who was trembling on the ground, and said, "Don't thank you so quickly, this princess didn't say that she would spare you." ”

"Princess...... The slave is wronged!" Ju still dared to say deceitful words at this time.

"Wronged?" Mu Qingyan's eyes were cold, she couldn't see a little temperature, and said, "The ruby hairpin on your head is good, it's your own?"

As soon as these words came out, Ju's face turned pale, his eyes dodged, and finally under Mu Qingyan's cold gaze, he cried and said: "The slave is wrong, the slave is not intentional......"

"Then if you do it on purpose, isn't this princess going to be sold by you?"

"The slave and the maid don't dare, the slave and the maid really don't dare! This hairpin is a meeting gift from Xiaocui to the slave maid, and the slave and maid think that her person is good and just talk a few more words, the slave and the maid really don't know what's wrong! Ask the princess to forgive the slave and the maid this time!"

When Mu Qingyan heard this, her expression was cold, a slave with a different heart was something that all masters did not want to see.

"Steward Shao, what she said is true? is it really just a few more words?"

Steward Shao on the side said: "Ju told Concubine Ye's maid Xiaocui when the princess would come to the princess's courtyard and what dishes the princess had made in the courtyard. ”

When Ju heard this, her face was as white as a dead man, and she said tremblingly: "Princess, spare your life, princess, slave and maid are just ...... Just ......"

"Can't make it up?" Mu Qingyan looked at Ju with cold eyes, opened her mouth softly, and said, "You just want things that shouldn't belong to you, you just think that as long as Concubine Ye gets the favor of the prince, you will be able to have more opportunities." ”

"The slave knows it's wrong, it knows it's wrong!" Ju trembled like an earthquake, her voice was full of horror, a beautiful face was crying pear blossoms with rain, and she even crawled to the place where King's Landing was sitting, and said as she crawled: "Lord, the slave has no idea that she wants, really, Lord Wang, please believe in the slave, please let the princess forgive the slave!"

Squeak, this crying is really beautiful, those tears want to break the pearls, one by one, the moving posture is also a demon, the body is so soft, that thin, this one is really good-looking.

King's Landing didn't even look at Ju, the teacup in his hand suddenly fell, and just fell in front of Ju's knees, Ju couldn't dodge, and knelt on the fragments of the cup fiercely, and the shards sank into her knees, and all of a sudden, the ground was dyed red.

"Ah......" Ju Yingsheng fell to the ground, and a pair of legs were useless.

King's Landing looked at Mu Qingyan, who was very interesting, and her eyes flashed with waves.

Mu Qingyan didn't seem to see it, and said to Shao Dong: "Steward Shao, what should I do with such an impure slave?"

"According to the rules of the palace, the maidservants who betray their masters and try to seduce the prince in vain will be on white silk!"

On the white silk, that's hanging!

As soon as Shao Dong said this, Ju couldn't even cry, his lips were bloodless, and he had no strength to lie on the ground and struggle.

"Then according to the rules of the palace, you can deal with how you want to get out!"

"Yes, Princess!"

When Shao Dong bowed down and asked the two guards to drag people down, Mu Qingyan spoke again.

"Steward Shao!"

"What else does the princess command?" Shao Dong stopped and asked respectfully.

Mu Qingyan didn't look at Ju, but said lightly: "Gather all the ladies in the backyard together and see Ju off, and it will not be in vain for the princess to have a fight with her master and servant." It's a final gift for her!"

Shao Dong listened, his eyes were full of surprise but he quickly concealed it, and said: "The princess is generous, the old slave will do it!"

As soon as these words came out, a light flashed in King's Landing's eyes, and it was too fast for people to catch.

Zhang Heng and Zhang Qing looked at Mu Qingyan with uncertain expressions, this summoned the ladies of the entire backyard, that is, whether they were high-grade concubines or low-grade maids, they had to watch this maid called Ju hanged.

Shao Dong looked at Mu Qingyan and asked, "Does the princess want to take the prison sentence herself?"

Hearing this, Mu Qingyan's eyes moved slightly and said: "The ladies in the backyard naturally include this princess, and this princess naturally wants to lead by example." ”

Shao Dong arched his hand and said, "It is really a blessing to have a princess in the palace who is so fair. ”

As soon as these words came out, the courtyard became even more silent.

Zhang Heng and Zhang Qing looked at Shao Dong, as if they were alive and dead, as if the Shao Dong in front of them was not the Shao Dong they knew at all!

Shao Dong, an old man who doesn't say anything, would even say such a sycophant?

Luan'er and Yan'er were quite happy to hear it, after all, their young lady had been recognized by someone in the house again.

Mu Qingyan listened, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and said, "Of course!"

Jun Lin looked at Mu Qingyan's arrogant face, his face was calm and shameless to her, he had already learned too much, so at this moment, he didn't bother to give an expression.

watched Shao Dong take the chrysanthemum down......

Mu Qingyan looked at King's Landing, gritted her teeth and said, "It's so unsafe in the palace, do I have to find another mansion to live a better life?"

When King's Landing heard this, his expression was faint, and he said, "The palace is safe, you don't have to go anywhere!"

The little thing that runs away all the time should be hit!

"If it's really as safe as the prince said, why is there such a low-level mistake?" She didn't believe in Ju's matter, he didn't know, not to mention how many secret guards there were in the Four Princes' Mansion, and the eyes of those minions were also sharp and tight on weekdays.

"As the fourth princess, you can sleep except for eating, if there is no accident, how does this king know if the concubine can be qualified for the position of the fourth princess!"

"You don't believe in my abilities?" she could show him her best anatomy, or on the spot.

"No, it's just something for you to practice your hands so that it doesn't get too boring. "He's very considerate!

"The prince is really far-sighted!" As she spoke, Mu Qingyan had already raised her feet and walked out.

King's Landing looked at the petty woman and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Anyway, it's not here!" As she spoke, Mu Qingyan said again: "Luan'er, Yan'er, go out with this princess to press the road!"

"Yes!!"
