The second prince's name is Zhu Youji, who is the second son of the emperor of the Ming Empire and was named King Fu.

Yan Shifan was nervous and was brought into the second prince's mansion, and along the way, he couldn't help but think in his heart, why did the second prince summon himself at this time, shouldn't it be the crown prince who summoned him!

And at the moment when he was not as good as the second prince's mansion, a heart instantly sank to the bottom, his hands and feet were cold, and his eyes were dull looking at the scene in front of him.

There were three bloody corpses lying in the courtyard at this time, two of them with different heads, and two heads were lying upright in front of the corpses, as if they were looking at themselves. And Ling has a steel knife stuck in the throat of a corpse, who is it not Qian Shaoming!

Yan Shifan only felt that the sky was spinning for a while, what was going on, shouldn't it be Xiao Wuxian who died? But now how did Qian Shaoming die, who killed him?

"Qian Shaoming is dead, ...... by himself" Yan Shifan immediately felt a spasm all over his body, and he was a little out of breath.

Zhu Youji, the second prince wearing a cyan python robe, was like a rock and sat still. His face was heavy, his eyes were cold and sharp, like two sharp swords, and he looked at Yan Shifan condescendingly.

"Yan Shifan"

"Small, villain!"

"You explain to me what's going on" The second prince's voice was cold, without the slightest emotion, and he couldn't hear the slightest emotional fluctuation.

At this time, beside the second prince, there was a beautiful woman in a gorgeous palace dress, slender, fair-skinned, and graceful. A pair of beautiful eyes were extremely cold at the moment, and they were staring at Yan Shifan tightly like the second prince.

There is no doubt that this woman is the princess of the second prince, Qian Qing'er, that is, Qian Shaoming's eldest sister.

"Second, the second prince, this, this is none of my business! Qian Shao, I didn't kill it" At this time, Yan Shifan's face was already like ashes, and his words were not clear.

"Hmph, I naturally know that you didn't kill you. But two days ago, you accompanied Qian Shaoming out, but you never returned, and today you were found dead outside the city, how to explain this matter!"

Explain, I know how to explain it? I haven't figured out what's going on. Why did you say that this good person died, it should be Xiao Wuxian who died!

He really wanted to say that the murderer was Xiao Wuxie, but don't say that others don't believe it, even he doesn't believe it himself. Xiao Wuxian is a well-known gentleman in the capital, and his cultivation is only the third grade of the Human Yuan Realm, which is well known.

Don't say that Qian Shaoming himself is a master of the first grade of the Earth Yuan Realm, even his two entourages also have the cultivation of the peak of the ninth grade of the Human Yuan Realm, how could Xiao Wuxian kill them.

But if you want to say no, who will it be! At a loss, he said, "Second Prince, this matter really has nothing to do with me, and I don't know what's going on!"

The second prince and the crown prince and the third prince have been fighting for so many years without falling behind, and their wisdom is not idle, so they naturally know that even if Yan Shifan is bold, he will not dare to kill Qian Shaoming.

Immediately, he said in a cold voice: "Whether it has anything to do with you or not, this king has his own decision, you report the situation of the day one by one, if there is any omission, be careful of your head!"

"Yes, yes" Yan Shifan trembled, but after all, he was a person who had seen the world, and knew that at least the second prince did not believe that he was the one who killed him, as long as the second prince decided that he was not a murderer, he would not worry about his life.

And at this time, it is the best time to push all the responsibilities to Xiao Wuxie, why don't you come and push the boat. Thinking of this, he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Actually, this is the case, that day, Qian Shao and I originally planned to go to Wanshan Gambling House to gamble money, but we didn't expect to meet a person at the door of the gambling house, it was Xiao Wuxie!"

The second prince's eyes flashed, and his expression was a little moved, but he returned to calm in an instant. I only heard the palace woman next to me say, "The grandson of the Zhenguo Mansion, the head of the four great gentlemen, Xiao Wuxie?"

"Yes, yes, it's him" Yan Shifan raised his head and glanced at the woman in the palace costume, and hurriedly lowered his head. But in his heart, he was also muttering that Xiao Wuxian deserved to be the first of the four great gentlemen, and even Princess Fu knew it.

"Go on," the majestic voice of the second prince sounded again!

Yan Shifan's body trembled, and then said, "Qian Shao can't get used to Xiao Wuxian's arrogant and domineering appearance, so he proposed to gamble with Xiao Wuxie, at the beginning, Qian Shao also won Xiao Wuxie a few hundred taels of silver, but later Xiao Wuxian didn't know what luck he had, and in turn he won 20 million taels of silver, and the villain couldn't persuade him!"

As Qian Shaoming's sister, she naturally knew that her younger brother was here to participate in this auction on behalf of the family, and the 20 million taels of silver were also the funds given to him by the family, so it was too bold to export it like this.

But she also knew that with her younger brother's gambling addiction, such a thing would definitely be done. Otherwise, I wouldn't have run to the gambling house on the first day of coming to the capital. But this loss of money will not cost you your life, and he immediately said, "Then why did this happen?"

"Next, Qian Shao may be in a bad mood because of the loss of money, I proposed to invite him to drink, but he said that he would not go and drove me away. I thought that Qian Shaozheng was angry, and I didn't dare to provoke him and went back to the house directly, I really don't know what happened next" Yan Shifan slammed his head on the ground after speaking, and never raised it, just said that he didn't know anything.

The words are all said and done, and the meaning is already obvious. It was obvious that Qian Shaoming was angry and wanted to get the lost money back, but something unfortunate happened, and this matter was clearly inseparable from Xiao Wuxie.

"Xiao Wuxie, you are not dead this time," Yan Shifan was secretly proud in his heart, but suddenly heard Qian Qing'er shouting angrily: "Someone will drag this guy who has not done enough to do more than anything to cut me out." ”

She is a person from the Eight Great Families, and she is not comparable to ordinary women. Naturally, he also knew that most of what Yan Shifan said was the truth, but after all, this person was inseparable from his brother's death, but he had to die!

Ga!

Yan Shifan fainted almost instantly, what's going on, this matter obviously has nothing to do with him. It's all said and done, why do you still want to kill yourself, but this breath didn't slow down, and directly passed out with a crooked body.

Qian Shaoming is her younger brother, not the second prince's younger brother. Zhu Youji was obviously not dizzy by this incident, and waved his hand to stop him at the moment, "Concubine Ai, please calm your anger first, I know you are very angry because of your brother's death, but this matter Yan Shifan is at best just an introduction, not to mention that his father is a household Shangshu, and he is the prince's person, if Yan Shifan is killed rashly, I am afraid that the prince will take the opportunity to make trouble!"

The second imperial concubine raised her eyebrows, and said angrily, "Won't my brother's revenge be avenged, I will not only kill him but also kill Xiao Wuxie?"

The second prince smiled helplessly, although he was a prince. But the Eight Great Families are deeply entrenched and so powerful that even empires can't ignore them.

The eight great families have been inherited for thousands of years, the imperial dynasty has collapsed several times, and the major families are still standing, and their heritage is so powerful that even empires are difficult to shake.

And the imperial concubine represents the Qian family in the eight great families, and it is precisely because she married the eldest lady of the Qian family that she has the support of the behemoth of the Qian family. So even if the imperial concubine was disrespectful to him, he could only smile bitterly and did not dare to offend easily.

"Ai Concubine, this matter is very strange, and it must be considered in the long run"

"What's weird, what's weird. Isn't this obvious, Xiao Wuxian couldn't rob the money, and killed my brother, this is a witness" The second imperial concubine pointed to Yan Shifan on the ground and said angrily.

Zhu Youji had a headache, obviously your brother lost the gambling money, how did it become someone else to rob the money in your mouth. And how are you so sure that it is the person Xiao Wuxian killed, even if he has that heart, he doesn't have that ability.

However, he couldn't say it, he just said solemnly, "This matter is very strange, Xiao Wuxian is a gentleman, how can he have the strength to kill Qian Shaoming, not to mention that he has two guards by his side!"

Xiao Wuxian's name is the best in the capital, Qian Qing'er has naturally heard of it, otherwise she would not have known who it was as soon as Yan Shifan mentioned Xiao Wuxie.

But his younger brother died like this, so he was naturally furious and said to himself, "Anyway, Xiao Wuxian will definitely not be able to escape from this matter, he must die, even if he didn't kill him, he must be buried with him!"

The prince was helpless, and said in his heart: "If it were an ordinary person, even if you kill a hundred, I wouldn't ask, but Xiao Wuxian didn't kill you if you said to kill." ”

"This matter has to be considered in the long run, Xiao Wuxian himself is nothing. But his grandfather was one of the six dukes of the empire, and many people in the army were his cronies, and his prestige in the military was extremely high. If you rashly kill Xiao Wuxie, the consequences will be unimaginable. Moreover, the dispute between me and the crown prince and the three princes is at a critical moment, and at this time, rashly offending Xiao Tianhe, isn't this obviously pushing him to the crown prince and the third prince, this is by no means a wise move, and it is very likely to ruin our years of hard work!"

The second imperial concubine didn't know this, but she was angry, and her face was cold, and she said, "Zhu Youji, this can't do this, it doesn't work, is it possible that my younger brother died in vain." You have to give me an explanation for this matter, and give an explanation to my Qian family, otherwise it won't be over!"

Zhu Youji's face couldn't help but chill when he heard this, this was clearly a threat, and he wanted to give an explanation to the Qian family.

Although he needs the help of the Qian family, he is threatened by his wife, and he will feel uncomfortable for anyone. At the moment, he sighed and said, "There are priorities, there must be a plan, and we must start from the overall situation." As for Xiao Wuxie's inseparability from this matter, naturally he has to go through some investigation, if he finds out the real culprit for a breakthrough, this is the way to avenge your brother."

"Okay, Zhu Youji, I'll wait for your good news, as for this person, I can't kill him for the time being, but I definitely can't spare it" After speaking, he turned around and left, and walked out quickly.
