When Wen Huairong woke up again, he heard Wei Xiao say outside the door: "Ninth Princess, something is wrong." ”

Wen Huairong blinked, he came back yesterday and took a bath several times, only then did he barely remove the smell, and finally fell asleep, at this moment he woke up before dawn, put on a coat and went out, and opened the door with sleepy eyes: "What's wrong?" ”

Seeing this, Wei Xiao came over and smiled helplessly, and lowered his voice: "Something is wrong, and it is related to us." ”

"Say it." What a big wind and waves have never seen.

"Jiang Beitao is dead."

"Who died?"

"Jiang Beitao is the person who had a quarrel with us yesterday."

Thinking of that bamboo pole, Wen Huairong only felt happy in his heart: "That bamboo pole, isn't it just right to die?" ”

Wei Xiao is really helpless at the moment, are all these royal people so capricious? This is a homicide.

"He is the most beloved concubine of Zhenbei Hou, the nephew of Jiang Guifei today, he is dead, do you think the two of us still have a life?"

"Why not?" He's dead, what does it have to do with me?

Oh my aunt!

"Ninth Princess, don't say it, just follow me!"

This Zhenbei Marquis can be regarded as a hero in this world, generation after generation of lords, this is already the fifth generation, not surprisingly, Jiang Beitao will be the sixth generation of Zhenbei Hou, although it is a concubine, with Zhenbei Hou's favor for him, as well as the concubine's pillow words, sooner or later it will be. But he died at such a time. Who believes that there is no conspiracy!!

Although Zhenbeihou often beats and scolds Jiang Beitao, it is also commonplace. But this fight, although he hates him and is not angry, he has never thought of asking for his life.

At this time, his eyes were red, his face was pale, and he didn't say a word at a distance of one meter outside Jiang Beitao's room.

When the concubine and aunt in the palace found out, they cried so much that they fainted two or three times in front of the emperor.

ordered that the matter must be thoroughly investigated, it must be that the traitor killed Jiang Beitao, and Jiang Beitao must not be allowed to die in vain.

It was a little cool, but the courtyard was full of men and women, frightened, weeping, and noisy, and they were all in a mess, and they didn't know what to do.

When Wei Xiao hurriedly took Wen Huairong over, the people of Shuntian Mansion Yin had already arrived. is discussing with the Marquis of Zhenbei to take Jiang Beitao's body back for careful examination. Give Childe an explanation.

Originally, there was no need to bring Wen Huairong over, but the last person Jiang Beitao might have come into contact with before his death was him and Wen Huairong, although they were princesses. But the Son of Heaven broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, so he brought it over just in case.

As soon as he came in, the servants drove all the servants away: "Lord Wei, you are here, Lord Fu Yin can wait for you!" ”

"Got it." Wei Xiao said lightly.

As he spoke, he pulled Wen Huairong to follow in, he came in a hurry, and before he had time to observe the situation, he was seen by Lord Fu Yin, as if he was seeing a savior, and he didn't notice that Wen Huairong next to him hurriedly wiped his sweat: "Dongheng, come here, hurry!" ”

"Zhenbei Hou, Lord Fu Yin." The atmosphere was a little awkward and a little tense. He didn't seem to be so honestly afraid. Although the last people Jiang Beitao saw were him and Wen Huairong, this matter had nothing to do with them, and there was no need to do this. It can't be that this Zhenbei Hou is higher than himself in front of his position, so he has to kill him.

Wen Huairong didn't have this concept, and naturally he didn't think of anything like killing people to pay for his life, he just felt that it was very dirty here.

Zhenbei Hou turned around suddenly, Wei Xiao only felt that it was ferocious and abnormal, thinking that it was the blood left over from the perennial battlefield killing, and this momentum, ordinary people really couldn't stop it. For example...... Lord Fu Yin.

As soon as his hand moved, someone in the crowd immediately stood up, and after seeing their faces clearly, he was shocked: "Master Hou, it's them, they are the two people who had a quarrel with the prince during the day." ”

Wei Xiao couldn't cry or laugh, this sound, everyone looked sideways, even Zhenbei Hou, he probably ate his heart.

Lord Yin kept wiping his sweat, and when he heard that Wei Xiao had a quarrel with Jiang Beitao, he was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "Master Hou, I haven't introduced it yet, this is Lord Wei Xiao of Shuntian Mansion, who is responsible for the investigation of the case." Master Hou, he is quick and good at solving cases, so he let him come in the next place. ”

Zhenbei Hou's eyes flashed, not because of his identity as Shuntianfu, but because he was the last person his son saw before he died.

He is not a fool, he knows that Jiang Beitao's death may not have anything to do with Wei Xiao. But it may be because of the quarrel with him that he will die.

His son died in front of him, and no matter how upright he was now, he couldn't care about anything else: "What the hell is going on, what happened to you and my son?" ”

And the woman in the back, who kept looking around, noticed her: "Who is she?" ”

Wei Xiao heard it: "Back to the Hou Ye, this is the ninth princess Wen Huairong!" ”

Zhenbei Hou swept his eyes coldly, and didn't take her in his eyes at all: "Ninth Princess? "It's a lot more interesting that someone from the royal family is involved.

What Nine Princesses, who has seen her?

Wen Huairong glanced at him, and he didn't like it in his heart, so he stopped looking at him.

Wei Xiao arched his hand, knowing that this matter could not be good: "I had a disagreement with Ling Shizi at noon yesterday, and I hope that the Hou Ye will forgive me." ”

"Really? My son had no intention of colliding with adults, and I thought that Benhou should come to the door to make amends, but now that my son is lying here, I don't know if I can give an explanation in the next one? ”

After all, his son is a concubine, and no matter how much he loves him, he is just his own son. But this Wei Xiao is a person from Shuntianfu, he can't handle it at will, and now he can only sell miserably, let them investigate the cause of his son's death, if they can't find it, then let them be buried with their son.

But the royal people intervened, I'm afraid it's not so simple.

Wei Xiao: "Hou Ye mourns, please tell me about the matter of Ling Gongzi in detail, and I can investigate it later." ”

took advantage of the situation to protect Wen Huairong behind her, and she didn't pay much attention. But it was this action that made Zhenbei Hou notice Wen Huairong. Come to think of it,

"I wonder why the Ninth Princess is here?"

The ninth princess, Wen Huairong, is just an unfavored princess, her biological mother is humble, and no one cares about her even if she dies outside. But now that it's involved, is there something wrong in the palace?

"Just passing by." Wen Huairong said: "At that time, I had just come back from Jingji Mountain, who would have thought that I would encounter an ambiguous affair between Ling Gongzi and Lord Wei Xiao, so I interjected, who would have thought that because of this matter, I would be saddled with a murder case, this is really a disaster!" ”

Zhenbei Hou was stunned for a moment, and was speechless, didn't these nine princesses never read? How can this eloquence not lose to a person who reads. He didn't know that Wen Huairong had just returned from Jingji Mountain, and it had been more than half a year since Emperor Xia took her.

"The minister is just asking."

No matter what, she is also a princess, even if she is not favored, he can only be respectful, but he can't be disrespectful to the royal family. It's not that easy to break.

"It's okay, I just told the facts, besides, Master Hou, when your son died, we were at home?"

At home?

"Didn't the princess return to the Imperial City?"

"Not for the time being, I stayed at Lord Wei Xiao's house last night."

actually let the princess live in her own house, this is simply unorthodox, what is the intention.

Wei Xiao smiled bitterly in his heart, he still didn't move on the surface, just put aside the relationship, he would also: "The princess gave an order, and the minister had to obey." ”

These two sang and harmonized, and they said it clearly, and what the princess said, I had to listen to it! provoked Lord Yin to turn around frequently, constantly wiping his sweat, for fear that something would happen!

"Alright, back to business."

Jiang Beitao can be regarded as famous among the sons and gentlemen of the capital. Everyone else is playing with women, occasionally gambling money to pass the time, he is good, not only playing women, but even men do not refuse.

He doesn't gamble, because he is not short of money, the silver given by the family every year, and the rare treasures given by his aunt in the palace, he is not worried about having no money at all.

So it's a big deal to spend money. So he often lingers in the alley of fireworks, as long as he looks beautiful, he takes them home regardless of whether he is male or female, and throws them away when he gets tired of playing. There are groups of wives and concubines at home, and there are many outer rooms outside. It is precisely because of his unsatisfactory questioning that Liu Feng's comments are not good, and the civil official participates in it. Therefore, the imperial court refused to change the decision to appoint Jiang Beitao as the heir of the prince. The Marquis of Zhenbei was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he was still helpless.

Even if there is Jiang Guifei, it is useless.

I just came out of the Qinglou at noon today and met a woman, I wanted to flirt with her, if I could see it, I would take it back, but I was blocked by Wei Xiao, who came out to buy a fan, and when I saw Wei Xiao, I was just teasing, Wen Huairong came out, and was said by the two of them, and because I was jealous of this civil official's reference, I still left.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I got home, I felt flustered and dizzy, so I took medicine and fell asleep.

Just a few hours ago, when someone returned to Zhenbeihou, he was already out of breath.

What exactly happened in the meantime? No one has ever gone inside, and no one knows.

Childe is asleep, who would have thought that he would be killed at home?

The little maid also heard the sound and movement before entering, and what he saw was Jiang Beitao lying unconscious on the bed. Hurriedly went out and called someone, and there was no need to talk about the rest of the matter.

After hearing this, Wen Huairong also sneered, it stands to reason that he is profligate like him and hollows out his body. Even death is a matter of time. And because it happened at home, he had no way to pursue the lesson, so he could only take his anger out on these people who were not well guarded. The enemy in the house is a thief, but these guards don't know anything, and sleep like dead pigs. I didn't even know that my son was killed.

"Then can you bring all the guards on duty tonight and ask me about them?"

The one on duty tonight was brought up by the one who was not tied up by the five flowers. Multiple scars on his body. There are also some blood stains, I think it was a lesson from the Hou Mansion after the incident. It was because of their poor guarding that Gongzi was killed. Now, what else can I hope they can ask?

Wei Xiao: "Who is the surname, it is truthfully recruited!" ”

Guard One: "In Xia Ge Zhou." ”

Wei Xiao: "When you were on duty tonight, it happened, let's talk about it in detail." ”

The guards were exhausted, and they thought they had been taught a lesson: "Tonight is on duty, and there is really no movement." ”

Zhenbei Hou sneered: "There is no movement, I am afraid that you deliberately let people in and kill my son." I think you're trying to exonerate yourself. I ask you. Why can't you hear the slightest movement in the middle of the night? I'm paying you to come here. Do you have fun with money? Now that my son is dead, you can't wait to get rid of it, I tell you. My son's death has something to do with you. I will put you in prison and hand you over to be put to death. ”
