Chapter Seventy-Four: The Beloved Concubine of the Eight Sage Kings
Zhu Xiaotian is a character who doesn't talk much, which can be seen from the fact that he can eat slugs.
With him leading the way, Xiao Ran and Caiyi soon arrived at Liu Meng's doorstep.
Liu Meng himself, as a seven-rank official, is naturally a civil servant of the Tianwen Dynasty, although in the prosperous Wentian City, he still has a courtyard with four entrances and four exits.
It was really the courtyard door of Liu Meng's house that was closed, and a woman's cry came from inside, Xiao Ran frowned, and had a bad premonition in his heart.
Zhu Xiaotian, as a licking dog that can eat slugs, naturally hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the door.
After a few knocks, an old man who looked like an old butler opened the door.
"Lord Zhu!"
The old housekeeper obviously also knew Zhu Xiaotian.
"I'm here to see Lord Liu, what's the matter?"
Zhu Xiaotian also saw the snow-white ornaments behind the door, obviously this was a funeral.
"Back to Lord Zhu, I asked the master to hang himself on the beam of the house last night!"
The old housekeeper's stroke surprised Xiao Ran.
Several people took advantage of the situation to enter Liu Meng's house, although Xiao Ran had a holiday with him, but he himself would not do anything to this Liu Meng, Liu Meng was just checked, and he had no life and death enmity.
But to say that Liu Meng committed suicide, he really doesn't understand this.
You must know that Liu Meng is a martial artist of the Four Realms, if this martial artist hangs himself, he may not be able to strangle him, the true qi in his body is like a swimming dragon, and if he inhales it in one breath, he can breathe it for half an hour without ventilating.
If you really want to commit suicide, you will definitely not use this method that has not worked for a long time.
"This is Lord Langzhong from the Criminal Department, we want to see Liu Meng's body!"
Zhu Xiaotian is also a clever ghost, how did he not know that there was something wrong with this matter.
Generally, when an official of the imperial court dies, someone from the imperial court will come to check on him, and this person usually comes from the criminal department and the official department to check whether the official's death is normal.
"This?" the old butler hesitated, but whispered in the ear of the hostess who knelt on the mourning hall.
Then the old housekeeper came to Xiao Ran's side again and said, "My lord, please come with me!"
The hostess was helped by the maid to pass by Xiao Ran and the others, Xiao Ran found that this hostess was young and beautiful, judging by her posture, she should have bought her own urban beauty, otherwise there would be such a scale.
Ahem! This seems to be disrespectful to Liu Meng! Xiao Ran knew that he wanted to be crooked.
Zhu Xiaotian pushed open the coffin board, and there was a man with a pale face sitting in the coffin.
That's right, just sitting, the coffin is very deep, and the man with an iron face is sitting with his head bowed!
Xiao Ran knew this person, it was Liu Meng.
"How can you sit?" Zhu Xiaotian was stunned, which family put the dead in the coffin, and they wouldn't sit and put it, they were all lying down.
"I! I don't know! I put it in the morning lying down!"
Caiyi and Xiao Ranren glanced at each other regularly, feeling that this matter was boring.
Xiao Ran took out his hand and felt it on Liu Meng's neck, and found that the neck bone was broken!
The old housekeeper flattened Liu Meng's body again.
After confirming that Liu Meng was dead, Xiao Ran and the others left after putting on the pillar incense!
Zhu Xiaotian went back when there was something wrong with the Yamen, Xiao Ran and Caiyi were confused, the Eight Sages King was tired of being dead, and the mastermind behind the scenes had been paying attention to them.
They went to Qingsi last night, and today Liu Meng died, although it looked like a suicide, but it didn't look like it.
"Does Your Highness have an idea?"
Caiyi asked, at this time, the two were also walking on the street, Xiao Ran frowned and didn't know what to think.
"Where is the Eight Sages Palace?" Xiao Ran asked.
.......
Soon, two young people, a man and a woman, appeared in front of the Eight Sages Palace, and the majestic Four gilded characters of the Eight Sages Mansion in front of the two of them were shining.
"Let's go inside!"
Xiao Ran thought that in order to find the cause of the death of the Eight Sages King, he had to go to the palace to see.
"Someone, don't you see that this is the palace?"
The biggest headache for Xiao Ran is the watchdog, who is a bully, as the saying goes, the prime minister's concierge is a seven-grade official.
The Eight Sages King is a prince, and he is a first-class official, so his concierge is naturally equivalent to a seventh-grade official.
"I am the emperor's order, and I am ordered to handle the case of the Eight Sages and Kings, such as the Holy Driver in person!"
Xiao Ran had already taken out the waist card that Her Majesty the Empress asked v=Caiyi to give him, as long as this token, he could go anywhere.
The palace is naturally possible to go.
"It turns out that Lord Qincha is here, hurry in!"
The porter is also a person who has seen the world, after all, it is the gatekeeper of the palace, so he naturally has the ability to see, and Xiao Ran is here to investigate the case, so he should be welcomed.
Xiao Ran had heard before he came, and the case of the Eight Sages King had not been solved, so the body was still kept in the palace.
Caiyi and Xiao Ran went to meet the princess first, and said that the princess, Xiao Ran had already inquired, the princess was the daughter of the old lady, yes!
Although it was a little embarrassing, Xiao Ran still wanted to meet him.
The palace is very large, bigger than Xiao Ran's mansion, after all, there are some mansions in Tiancheng that can't be bought, this is a royal property, and Xiao Ran's mansion naturally can't be compared.
After seven bends and eight rounds, Xiao Ran and Caiyi came to the luxurious living room of the palace, which was already the hottest time in summer, but there was still some heat, and the living room of the palace was a chic elegant courtyard with empty on three sides.
As soon as Xiao Ran and Caiyi sat down, the people offered fragrant tea.
When the maids lowered their heads to pour tea, Xiao Ran saw that the cool maids had familiar shoulder straps on their shoulders.
It looks like they're all wearing our new products.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ran was very happy in his heart.
Soon, a bewitching woman in an off-the-shoulder dress appeared outside the courtyard, her shoulders white and her waist fluttering. Xiao Ran only felt dizzy for a while, and his heart throbbed.
"Humph!"
Caiyi snorted coldly, Xiao Ran's mind instantly returned to clarity, and he touched the corner of his mouth, as if he had saliva.
Xiao Ran was very embarrassed, but he was a little more jealous of this bewitching woman in his heart.
Jie Niang doesn't look like a good person!
"His Royal Highness Xiao is really a talent, no wonder Your Majesty loves you!"
The bewitching woman turned into a fragrant breeze from Xiao Ran's side and sat on the main seat, there is no doubt that this is the princess.
"When I saw the princess today, I knew that the women in the world were ten points, His Majesty got five points, the princess got four points, and the people of the world shared one point!"
Xiao Ran's sycophants instantly followed.
"Your Highness Xiao is really a wonderful person, and Your Majesty doesn't just like you because you're good-looking!"
The princess let out a silver bell-like laugh, and Xiao Ran was almost lost again, but he didn't allow himself to be like a pig brother again, forcibly sobering up from that state.
"I came to see the princess today, in fact, I also want to investigate the prince's case and give the prince justice!"
Xiao Ran knew what he was going to do, and he definitely couldn't be led astray by this woman, but he was also curious, after this woman died her husband, she was still dressed up and didn't know why.
Seeing the princess's exposed white shoulders, Xiao Ran knew that this one who used their latest strapless bra and 1/2 cup was very bold!
Xiao Ran has read countless women, and he knows that the princess still hopes to have a caring person in her heart.
