"Aunt Chunnuan, come in and change a candle."

Liu Xinning saw that what she said was almost done, and the candle was about to burn out, so she called Chun Nuan, who was guarding outside the door, to come in.

Spring warmth is coming. She quickly finished changing the candles and watched Liu Xinning and Xiao Muze sitting at the table as if they had finished speaking.

Only then did he speak: "County Lord, two moments ago, the guards of the Hundred Flowers Courtyard came. The maidservants let them stay around the Zhuangzi. ”

"Well, you arrange it."

For the belated guards, Liu Xinning was not displeased.

After all, this suburb of Beijing is not far from the capital. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, not to mention the safest, it is always better than other places.

Therefore, it is normal for these guards to have no experience in dealing with such a situation.

However, if it weren't for Xiao Muze's escort today, I was afraid that she would have to expose her preparations.

At the moment, she has no intention of tearing through the disguise in full view.

"Also, just now a man in black said that he was looking for Xiao ......"

Chun Nuan glanced at Xiao Muze and swallowed the word 'guard' back.

She is not a fool, she can naturally see that Xiao Muze is not a simple guard.

"He is the adopted son of my uncle of the war king, you can call him Xiao Gongzi." Liu Xinning did not conceal the meaning of spring warmth.

"I had something to do, so I hid my identity. Don't blame Aunt Chunan. ”

Xiao Muze knew that Liu Xinning attached great importance to Chun Nuan.

If he is one of Liu Xinning's life-saving benefactors, Chun Nuan is another life-saving benefactor.

Although, today's Chun Nuan is a slave subordinate, it stands to reason that it is right to block the sword for the master.

However, he found that in Liu Xinning's heart, he did not attach so much importance to identity and status, but to more importance to character.

Therefore, even though Chun Nuan was a slave and Xiao Muze was a guard who signed a living contract at that time, Liu Xinning had great trust and respect for them.

In this way, he naturally has to respect the spring warmth.

"Xiao Gongzi."

Chun Nuan was naturally taken aback when she heard Xiao Muze's identity.

However, she still resisted her surprise and bowed.

"A son just said he wanted to see you. The servant said that you were talking to the county lord, and he was waiting in the courtyard. And now let him in? ”

"It should be Ling Yi. Ling Yi is the leader of the escort team. ”

Xiao Muze finished introducing the identity of the outsider to Liu Xinning, and then said to Chun Nuan: "Please ask my aunt to let him in." ”

Chun Nuan went out to invite someone.

Soon, a tall black figure walked in.

After he finished saluting Xiao Muze and Liu Xinning, he said with a solemn face: "We interrogated the assassins, and those people are only afraid that they are not killers, but may be dead soldiers." ”

"What?"

Liu Xinning and Xiao Muze stood up in surprise when they heard this.

They glanced at each other, and their eyes were also solemn.

A dead man is not the same as a killer.

Although the martial arts of the dead may not be higher than that of the killer, their tone is very tight, and they do not care about their own lives.

It is difficult to ask anything out of ordinary torture methods.

And the dead man is not something that ordinary people can have, let alone an outer room of the Bai family.

However, Xiao Muze lives in Wangning County all the year round, but he only came to the capital last year.

Who will use the dead against him?

"In the Yu family, it seems that only the elder Yu Ge can support the dead...... Liu Xinning said hesitantly.

Sure enough, before her words fell, Xiao Muze's face became even more gloomy.

"Maybe someone knows who I am and wants to deal with my adoptive father?"

Xiao Muze's face changed, and finally he reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth and said.

"yes. It's also possible. Or maybe it was sent by someone from the Wu Dynasty? If you attack them on the battlefield in the past few days, they will naturally know your identity. Liu Xinning thoughtfully agreed.

When Ling Yi heard these words, he glanced up at them and lowered his head in silence.

And the interior is also quietly quiet.

"It seems that if these people are not handed over to Liu Qingshi for trial, I'm afraid it won't work." After a long time, Xiao Muze spoke.

Judge the dead is not the strong point of these guards.

Only in Dali Temple, capable officials who are good at interrogation can do it.

Besides, since you want to give an explanation to the emperor, it is good for the emperor's henchmen to interrogate.

"Now that you've made up your mind, don't dwell on it." Liu Xinning could only be so comforted.

Xiao Muze naturally understood this truth. Therefore, he said no more.

The city gate was opened on the second day, and Xiao Muze entered the palace with Liu Xinning.

Because today is the twenty-seventh, there is no big court meeting in the court, so Emperor Qingping is discussing with several important ministers in the imperial study.

After the matter was discussed and all the ministers dispersed, Tai Dajian quickly walked in and said a few words to Emperor Qingping.

Emperor Qingping's face changed visibly with the naked eye.

After announcing Liu Xinning and they came in, Emperor Qingping sat on the dragon chair, listened to Xiao Muze's statement expressionlessly, and was speechless for a long time.

The king of war has an adopted son, so he naturally knows about it.

But because of this adopted son, he neither entered the genealogy of the Xiao family, nor was he invited to be the son. Therefore, Emperor Qingping didn't particularly care.

It's just an adopted son, and if you raise one, you can raise ten more. It is not known who will inherit the title of the final war king.

However, now the identity of the adopted son of the war king is about to change?

"Do you want to recognize your ancestors now? Yu Qing's family is a family heirloom of poetry and books, but there is a military general like you. ”

After a long time, Emperor Qingping spoke.

"Minister......" Xiao Muze hesitated.

"The minister thinks it's better to figure out this assassination first. If it has nothing to do with the Yu family, it is naturally good, if it is related to the Yu family, then ......"

Xiao Muze was silent, but his expression became gloomy.

Yesterday, although he refuted Liu Xinning's words, his heart was not without fluctuations.

In the capital, only the Yu family has conflicts with him.

He originally thought that the killer belonged to the Bai family, because after he died, it was the Bai family and her son who benefited the most.

However, this is not a killer, it is a dead man.

How can the Bai family raise a dead man in an outer room?

"It's fine. It's time to find out. It has been eighteen years since I ruled the Daqing Dynasty, and now, at my feet, this assassination is still one after another. It's time to take a good look. Emperor Qingping was also a little angry.

He didn't dare to say that he was wise and martial, and he was politically well-versed, but in the end, he was also quite political.

In particular, near the capital, such large-scale assassinations are even rarer.

But this year is good, two months have come, and there have been two incidents. The people who were assassinated were all their own descendants......

"Let Tai Gui lead you to Dali Temple, and you will personally hand over to Liu Qingshi. The Assassins were all handed over to him, and he wanted to pry their mouths open. Emperor Qingping first said to Xiao Muze.

"Yes." Xiao Muze hurriedly responded.

Then, he followed Tai Dajian out of the imperial study and went to Dali Temple.

In other words, the names of the characters in my last book and this book are mysterious. Did you find out? Ha ha.
