After taking the medicine, the master and servant sat on the grass and chatted, Tao Yaoyao asked for clues about Xiao Shuoshuo, Qiu Gui hurriedly said, "Lord Xiao and the slave maid have talked about this matter, and he asked the slave and maid to tell the young lady that they are now investigating the Liu family." ”

"The Liu family?"

A five-grade official dares to attack the son of a first-grade official? Tao Yaoyao felt a little unbelievable.

"What if Liu Ruhua is not Miss Liu, and if the Liu family has a grudge against the Zhou family from the beginning?"

Zhang actually came in with a food box, Tao Yaoyao smelled the smell of osmanthus cake from afar, she was busy all morning, she didn't eat a drop of water, and now she is really hungry.

"Master Zhang, how do you know I haven't eaten yet?" Tao Yaoyao was not polite, took out a pastry and handed it to Qiu Gui, and took another one to Zhang Jing.

"I don't like to eat pastries, so you can eat them."

"There are still people who don't like pastries." Tao Yaoyao smiled and put the pastry in his mouth, then looked at him.

After Zhang Jing saw what he meant, he continued with a smile, "Just now our people found out that Liu Ruhua is an orphan brought back from outside by the Liu family, and she has been kept in the concubine house for so many years.

As for Zhou Yu's love at first sight, it was also intentional by the Liu family. ”

I see.

"But why did the Liu family kill Liu Ruhua?"

Even if the people in the government suspect Liu Ruhua later, they can completely make Liu Ruhua a scapegoat and let her go, which is not a wise decision.

You see, now the Liu family has also been sent out by the government.

The Liu family worked hard to kill Zhou Yu, and they shouldn't want the Liu family to come to give a Zhou Yu a funeral.

"The official also thinks it's strange, but for the time being, I haven't found out that the Liu family has anything to do with Liu Ruhua's death."

"Then what are the festivals of the Liu family and the Zhou family?" What kind of festival can make the Liu family think about revenge on the Zhou family for so many years.

And the disparity between the identities of the two families is so big, once the East Window incident happens, the Liu family will face the disaster of annihilation.

"Lord Zhou and Lord Liu are candidates of the same session, that autumn, Lord Liu is the eye, Lord Zhou is just an inconspicuous jinshi, but Lord Zhou was taken by Mrs. Zhou's father, and since then he has risen to the top.

Lord Liu became a relative at that time, and he was average-looking and rigid, so he ......"

Zhang didn't say the next words, and Tao Yaoyao also understood.

However, just because of this, the net will be broken, isn't it a bit extreme?

After all, no one has stipulated that talent and reward are the same, and even in the world of a thousand years later, such things will be the same.

"The feud between the two families is naturally not because of this one thing. It is said that in the fifth year after he got married, he brought his younger brother from his hometown to Kyoto Castle.

It was a master who was spoiled by the family.,Coincidentally, I was thinking about Lord Liu's sister.。 It is said that Lord Liu's sister died very miserably, but because of the power of the Zhou family, this matter could only be stopped back then.

Lord Liu's parents couldn't accept this matter, so they went the next year, and although Lord Liu didn't fall out with Lord Zhou from that time, the two no longer interacted.

After so many years, everyone gradually forgot about this matter, but I didn't expect the Liu family to remember this matter. ”

The revenge of killing my sister, the revenge of my parents' death, if I change her, I am afraid that she will not be easily forgotten.

It's just that she has no grievances with them, and she also helped Liu Ruhua that day.

"Maybe you're just a scapegoat." After Zhang actually learned about this, he thought about it for a long time, and finally felt that this guess was the most reasonable.

"What about the Assassin that night?" Tao Yaoyao asked again, "It can't be that the Liu family also wants to kill people." ”

"If the Liu family wanted Liu Ruhua to be a scapegoat at the beginning, then Liu Ruhua's accidental death may have disrupted their plans, so they wanted to come up with such a way."

Does this mean that she is unlucky, and everything bad has happened to her.

"Tomorrow is the five-day period. Next, it's time to trouble Mr. Zhang. ”

Early the next morning, Xie Lan was just about to have breakfast when the guards delivered the news.

"The third prince is dead."

The last thing they wanted to see, it happened.

"Why did you die?" After Tao Yaoyao learned about this, his brows furrowed, and he looked angry, "Lord Xiao, are you sure you heard it right?" ”

But Jiu Qingzi's predecessors clearly said that His Majesty would never do it again in such a situation, but why did the third prince die in the end?

"After the third prince was found dead in the dormitory, Concubine Xian reported to the official, and it was the body that the official personally entered the palace to collect, and there will definitely be no fake."

Xiao Shuo didn't know what happened in the Third Prince's Bedroom yesterday, and always felt that something was wrong, he originally asked Concubine Xian, but Concubine Xian didn't say.

He came to find Tao Yaoyao.

"Your reaction and Concubine Xian's reaction are very wrong, but what happened yesterday?" Xiao Shuo reminded Tao Yaoyao, "Only by telling the official what happened yesterday can the official judge why the third prince was killed faster and more accurately." ”

If someone else asked, Tao Yaoyao might not say it, but she believed that Xiao Shuo, plus what Xiao Shuo said was right, this matter really needs to be investigated as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the people of Dali Temple will suffer.

So I leaned over and whispered about yesterday's events.

After a while, Xiao Shuo took two steps back with a complicated face, and suddenly regretted knowing the truth.

"Lord Xiao is scared?" Tao Yaoyao saw his thoughts and quipped, "Even if you regret it now, it's too late." ”

"It's not that I regret it, I just didn't expect it."

Although he had long known that there was a problem with the battle half a year ago, he didn't expect that this matter had something to do with the Third Prince and His Majesty. His Majesty keeps saying that the people of Jingguo are his sons and daughters, but he has harmed so many people for his own selfishness......

"The death of the third prince at this time is in the best interest of His Majesty. Do you think it will ......?"

"No, I believe in the seniors of Sakuchiko, and if this matter is really that simple, Your Majesty is not stupid, he will not do things that people can see through at a glance."

After thinking about it, Tao Yaoyao asked Lord Xiao, "The third prince is dead, who is the most beneficial?" ”

Naturally, he is the second prince. Could it be ...... "can the third prince be in the current situation, even if the second prince doesn't make a move, he has no possibility of turning over, at this time, why should he do this." ”

"Perhaps, he thinks that this is to solve His Majesty's problems?" Even if the third prince finally undertakes everything, the criticism of His Majesty will not disappear.

If the third prince dies and no one knows about it in a short period of time, His Majesty will not worry about this matter.

If the second prince finds another scapegoat and leaves the emperor clean at that time, this matter is really just the fault of the third prince alone.

And the three princes are all dead, and no one cares if he has one more crime or one less crime.

"The royal scheme is really something that only you can't think of, and there is nothing they can't do." Tao Yaoyao thought of this possibility, and his back was cold, "Forget it, I still don't have to worry about the lives of others, today is the five-day period, I'm afraid that Lord Zhou will come over soon......"

"Lord Zhou won't come over." Zhang actually hurried over and brought her a piece of news by the way, "Lord Liu kidnapped Lord Zhou. ”

What?

"Why did Lord Yanagi do this?" He has found someone to calculate the Zhou family, doesn't it mean that he doesn't want to drag the Liu family into the water because of this matter, seeing that this matter is about to come to pass, how can he regret it at this time.

This is not like Lady Yanagi's style.

"Mrs. Liu is dead."

What?

"What does this have to do with Mrs. Liu?"

Zhang Jing didn't know, "We haven't found out about Mrs. Liu's death yet, but Lord Liu decided that this matter was related to the Zhou family, so he kidnapped someone on the way to the court." He also said that if Mrs. Zhou did not die, he would be burned with Lord Zhou. ”

Lord Liu, this is a mortal heart.

"Then why are you still here, hurry up and save people."

Tao Yaoyao urged him, but Zhang Jing said, "This official is here to find you." I would like to ask you to go and see Mrs. Liu. ”

What do you mean, isn't Lady Liu already dead?

"It's a pretense that Mrs. Liu's pulse is very strange. When he checked his pulse for the first time, he did not have a pulse, but after checking his pulse, he found that Mrs. Liu's pulse was a little breathy, very weak, if he didn't feel that something was wrong and leaned over to listen carefully, he wouldn't have noticed it at all. ”

Could it be......

"The official remembers that you said the symptoms of fake death medicine at Wang Meiren's birthday banquet before, and the official suspects that Mrs. Liu has taken fake death medicine."

If this is really the case, it seems that the Liu family has other secrets.

"Let's go."

The three of them acted separately, Zhang actually led people to find Lord Zhou and them, and Xiao Shuo took Tao Yaoyao to Liu's house.

When the two of them came over, the people of the Liu family had already finished the mourning hall, and they could mourn when Lord Liu came back and hugged Mrs. Liu in.

When the Liu family saw Xiao Shuo, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Lord Xiao, my family has gone out, and I don't know when I will come back......"

Xiao Shuo ignored them, and directly took Tao Yaoyao to Mrs. Liu's house, Tao Yaoyao sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand to check the pulse, and the Liu family immediately stopped when they saw this, "What are you going to do?" I've already checked it ......"

"Whoever said that if it is examined, the doctor cannot examine." Xiao Shuo looked over, "Or do you say that there is another hidden reason for the death of your Mrs. Liu." ”

When the subordinate heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand, "The little one doesn't know anything." ”

"Since you don't know anything, then shut up, you remember, everything this official is doing now is for your family." After Xiao Shuo finished speaking, he gave Tao Xiaoxiao a look.

After Tao Yaoyao received it, he immediately began to check Mrs. Liu's pulse.

After half a ring, Tao Yaoyao showed a meaningful smile, "It's the same as you guessed." ”

But she didn't mean to save Mrs. Liu, but followed Xiao Shuo to leave the Liu family first.

"What are you going to do next?"

Xiao Shuo looked at the direction of the gate of the Liu family, and a touch of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, "The Liu family has played the official around, and the official can't let them call in vain, and besides, they have all set up the stage, don't you want to know what they want to sing?" ”

Tao Yaoyao naturally wanted to see it, otherwise she would have done it just now.
