At this time, the Royal Palace.

Xiao Ji half-knelt in front of the emperor, but his upper body was very straight.

"That's what you do!" The emperor was so angry that he slammed the teacup next to his hand and said angrily, "On the same day, this kind of thing happened one after another, how do you let the foreigners look at me?" ”

"Please also ask the emperor to calm his anger," Xiao Ji said in a calm tone, "but the top priority is to find out the murderer behind the scenes." ”

"You say that?" The emperor rolled his eyes and sat back dissatisfied, "How's the matter going, is there any progress?" ”

"There is a direction, but ......" Xiao Ji paused for a moment, his tone a little hesitant.

"What's the concern?" The emperor could guess what he was going to do by looking at his expression, and he didn't open his mouth angrily.

"This matter is very important," Xiao Ji said unhurriedly, "Wei Chen doesn't know how to decide. ”

"Then tell me, who is it all about?" The emperor paused, subconsciously frowning.

There are really few people in this world who make Xiao Ji dare not start, except for himself, I am afraid that they are those in the harem.

The backgrounds and methods of those people in the harem are not like ordinary people, and they have always been involved in the whole body, if it is really related to them, this matter may be complicated.

"Concubine De Niangniang," Xiao Ji said these four words, and her expression was very determined.

Concubine De?

The emperor's eyes subconsciously flashed over Zhu Weiyi's face, and his heart was a little heavy.

Zhu Weiyi, a woman, is very flamboyant, and she will never choose this way, since it is related to her, then the person who made the shot must be someone who has a relationship with her.

Seeing that the emperor was silent, Xiao Ji was not in a hurry, and knelt in place by himself, waiting for his answer.

Although there can only be one answer.

Xiao Ji laughed in his heart, but his face did not show half a point.

Choosing between a genre and a lady in the palace, the emperor would 100% choose a foreigner.

After a while, the Emperor finally spoke, and what he said did not exceed his expectations in the slightest.

"Chuan De Concubine Niangniang come here," Gonggong Chen knew what the emperor wanted to say at a glance, and before the emperor could speak, he bowed his waist slightly and went down to pass the word.

In Zhu Weiyi's palace, the father-in-law and the person she sent out to collect the news entered the house almost at the same time.

"The palace will be here soon," Zhu Weiyi glanced at the father-in-law who was in charge of communication with a smile on her face, and beckoned her palace maid to entertain him for a while.

Seeing the two people leave, Zhu Weiyi turned her head to look at the little guard standing aside, her expression cold.

"Qi Yu Niangniang," the guard understood and hurriedly spoke, "I followed the second county lord all the way, and found that she sent a team of people to assassinate Na Song Zanqi, but Xiao Ji's guards happened to pass by there and rescued the person in time, and no one made any mistakes." ”

"It's just muddle! I don't discuss such a big thing with this palace, if something happens, who will cover her? ”

Zhu Weiyi's face became colder and colder, and she didn't need to think about it to know what the emperor had summoned her for.

If such a big thing happens, the emperor will definitely be held responsible, Xiao Ji doesn't want to get into trouble, so he will pull her out directly.

felt a thousand times in her heart, but Zhu Weiyi didn't dare to delay for half a minute, waved her hand at the little guard slightly, and then called a few palace maids to serve her makeup.

She and Zhu Weifang are grasshoppers on the same rope, and they can't abandon her yet, so now they can only think of throwing this matter to others and taking Zhu Weibian out of this matter.

Thinking so, Zhu Weiyi hurried to the emperor's side.

"The concubine has seen the emperor," Zhu Weiyi saluted as always, and her gestures were full of charm.

"Do you know why I called you here today?" The emperor didn't let her get up, but just looked at her fixedly.

The emperor is still very deterrent when he is serious.

Zhu Weiyi was a little flustered, but she also knew that she couldn't know about this matter, so she shook her head directly, "The concubine doesn't know, and I ask the emperor to say it clearly." ”

What awaited Zhu Weiyi was a long silence.

Xiao Ji didn't have any intention of picking up the conversation, and was leisurely looking at the ground not far away.

"General Xiao," the emperor coughed lightly, motioning for him to speak quickly.

"Today, Miss Zhu Er had a conflict with Princess Song Zanqi," Xiao Ji did not delay, and spoke slowly.

It's just that the voice is so smooth that people can't figure out what he plans to say.

Zhu Weiyi squinted, and her slightly raised phoenix eyes were more probing, "Is there such a thing?" ”

"It's normal for Niangniang not to know," Xiao Ji raised her eyebrows and said to herself, "But this is not something that Niangniang can solve without knowing a word." ”

"What do you mean, General?" Zhu Weiyi clenched her fists slightly, sneered and spoke, "This palace is in the palace, and I don't know much about the outside world, but it's not like the general you can slander with just one sentence, if the general is really sure, please ask the general to come up with evidence, otherwise the palace will definitely not admit this matter." ”

After speaking, Zhu Weiyi snorted coldly in her heart, determined that Xiao Ji couldn't take anything.

Although Zhu Weibian was a little sloppy, he would never leave such a big handle, and the time was short, it was simply whimsical for him to find out completely.

As long as Xiao Ji is blocked now, she will have time to erase other things.

"Niangniang is right," Xiao Ji had to admit that what Zhu Weiyi said made sense, but he didn't plan to make a fuss about it at all.

As soon as the conversation changed, Xiao Ji smiled slightly and took out a scroll from his sleeve.

"What is this?" The emperor frowned, he didn't expect Xiao Ji to have this at all.

"This is what the emperor entrusted Weichen to do before," Xiao Ji smiled slightly, "Although the search was interrupted halfway, the minister still found some things, and asked the emperor to take a look." ”

The emperor took the scroll in disbelief, then looked at it a few times, the expression on his face instantly became gloomy, and he raised his hand and threw the scroll in front of Zhu Weiyi.

"Look at your good sister!"

Zhu Weiyi frowned, took the scroll and glanced at it, only to find that Zhu Weifang's name was followed by a series of shops.

"This ......" Zhu Weiyi looked at the scroll for a long time, but didn't find the problem for a while.

This dynasty does not restrict women from doing business, and it is completely reasonable for Zhu Weifang to run a shop.

"This is a tax-sheltering shop," Xiao Ji saw her doubts and kindly explained.

When searching for the man in green who escaped, he accidentally found a bunch of tax-avoiding shops, among which Zhu Weifang was the most excessive.

What?

Zhu Weiyi trembled a little, confused by this completely unexpected thing.

She didn't know that Zhu Weibian had such a shop, let alone that she actually avoided taxes!

Tax avoidance is a big crime in this dynasty, and judging by her amount, she will be sentenced to death.
