The onlookers also stepped forward and blocked Xiao Tingyan's way. Yun Luan tugged on Xiao Tingyan's sleeves, and she shook her head at him. "Don't take King Mo away first, so as not to anger the people..." Xiao Tingyan had no choice but to say that nothing happened. Before finding out, it seemed that he really couldn't take Xiao Xuanmo away like this, so he had to have someone help Xiao Xuanmo to rest inside the house first... Yun Luan said to the people: "Everyone, listen to me. There are a lot of strange things about this matter... There must be something hidden in it. If you can trust me, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

"I will definitely help Ms. Liu seek justice... No matter what, she cannot die in peace."

When the people saw that the Taiping County Lord had spoken, their excitement suddenly calmed down. "County Lord, we believe in you, and we are willing to give you time."

"Yeah, I hope you won't disappoint us."

"County Lord, you must find the real culprit and seek justice for the Liu family girl."

Yun Luan nodded at the people. She calmed the people's emotions and asked people to surround the scene of the crime. No one could come near. Then, she found Su Yuan and asked him how the investigation was going. Su Yuan She looked at Mrs. Zhang with some embarrassment: "This Mrs. Zhang is very excited and won't let us get close to the body at all... We can't do an autopsy. This matter is deadlocked here and there is no way to find a breakthrough."

Yun Luan narrowed her eyes and looked up at Mrs. Zhang. She walked over slowly and knelt down. "Mr. Zhang... If you don't want your girl to die tragically, you have to cooperate with the government in investigating the case. Let them examine the body first. , let’s see why Miss Liu died.”

Mrs. Zhang's eyes were red, and she looked at Yun Luan with anger: "What else could he die for? Isn't it obvious? I told you, I saw it with my own eyes. It was King Mo who held the fragment in his hand and cut it. It hit our girl's throat... Our girl died on the spot."

"If you don't arrest the culprit in accordance with the law, what kind of autopsy and clues are you going to look for? I don't want my girl to die and be disturbed by you and die in peace. As long as I don't die, no one can touch my girl's body... I We must protect her until the master comes back."

No matter what others said, Mrs. Zhang refused to let go of Liu Shufen's body. Xiao Tingyan stood there and secretly winked at Shi Li. Shi Li nodded slowly, and when Mrs. Zhang wasn't paying attention, he walked around behind her, a The hand knife went down and chopped directly on her neck. Mrs. Zhang did not expect that someone would sneak up on her. Her vision went dark for a while, and she fainted. Yun Luan had Mrs. Zhang's body carried to the bedroom next to her to rest, while Su Yuan An autopsy was ordered. After some inspection, he made a preliminary judgment. "Judging from the superficial wounds, the deceased did die because his throat was cut by fragments and he bled to death."

"Apart from the wound on her neck, I couldn't find any other fatal injuries on her body."

Yun Luan frowned, always feeling that something was wrong. She walked to the body and inspected it carefully. The result of the inspection was naturally as what Wu Zuo said... Wang Kun made sobering soup and gave it to Xiao Xuan as a matter of course. The ink was poured down. Not long after drinking the hangover soup, Xiao Xuanmo woke up and turned around. Xiao Tingyan quickly walked up to him and asked in a low voice: "Xuanmo, are you okay?"

Xiao Xuanmo was startled and looked at Xiao Tingyan with some confusion: "Uncle Huang? Why are you here?"

He immediately reacted and quickly looked around, "Where is this?"

Then, he noticed the blood on his hands. "Why are my hands and body covered with blood?"

Su Yuan hurried over and asked cautiously: "King Mo, do you really not remember anything?"

Xiao Xuanmo felt a little pain in his forehead. He raised his hand and rubbed his temples. Then, some vague moments flashed in his mind. He replied with some hesitation: "I... I remember it seemed that my body was very hot... In my daze, it seemed that a woman was taking off my clothes. I refused to let the woman touch me and sternly told her to get out... Then the woman left, and I broke the glass cup on the table and took it. The splinters cut the palm of my hand."

As he spoke, he spread out his palms. There was a blur of blood and flesh there, which was really the mark of being scratched by a sharp weapon. Su Yuan quickly asked someone to record King Mo's words. "King Mo, what happens next?"

Xiao Xuanmo rubbed his eyebrows and continued to reply: "Then, because of the pain, I regained some consciousness, and I wanted to leave here. When I walked to the door of the room, I was about to open the door, and suddenly a girl pushed it open I opened the door... The girl saw the blood dripping from my hand and screamed in fright. I grabbed her wrist and asked her who she was and where she was..." "Later, what exactly happened? , I don’t know. I seem to have lost consciousness all of a sudden... What’s wrong with me? Did something happen? "

Su Yuan replied with a complicated expression: "The girl you mentioned is dead... At present, it is preliminary determined that she was killed by the fragment in your hand, King Mo."

Xiao Xuanmo's body trembled. He opened his eyes and looked at Su Yuan in disbelief. "How... is this possible? I just held her wrist and asked her who she was and where I was. I... I Didn't kill her."

Although Su Yuan didn't quite believe that King Mo would kill someone in anger because of the failure of force. But everything in front of him proved that the deceased was killed by King Mo. The murder weapon is here, and it is still in King Mo's hand. Here, Mrs. Zhang is an eyewitness again... With all the witnesses and material evidence, if the murderer was an ordinary person, he would have concluded the case long ago. Su Yuan said with a headache: "Your Majesty, maybe you are drunk and unconscious, so in He killed someone unconsciously while drunk. So far, the evidence we have found shows that you are the only murder suspect."

"The people are waiting outside for the truth to come out. At this stage of the case, everything has been revealed and there is nothing to investigate."

Xiao Xuanmo's eyes were full of surprise. He was stunned for a while, trying his best to calm down. He recalled the things that happened when he was in a coma. The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong with him. "No, it's not right. In There is a second key figure in this murder case..." Yun Luan's eyes flashed with light, and she quickly asked: "Who else is there?"

Xiao Xuanmo looked at Yun Luan, "I'm not sure yet. Can I take a look at the deceased?"

Yun Luan immediately walked over and helped Xiao Xuanmo up. Su Yuan wanted to stop him, but Xiao Tingyan glanced at him coldly. He immediately did not dare to say a word or have any objection. Yun Luan helped Xiao Xuanmo out of the room and went to see He took the body of the deceased. Xiao Xuanmo stood there, staring at the face of the deceased, a bit of grief flashed in his eyes. In any case, this woman died because of him. He did not kill Boren, but Boren did because of him. And died. He felt a little guilty in his heart... "I remember this woman very clearly. She appeared when I opened the door. She was not the woman who took off my clothes when I first became conscious."

A hint of understanding flashed through Yun Luan's eyes: "So, before this murder occurred, there was a second key witness at the scene. But now, that woman has disappeared... Granny Zhang has never mentioned this person. "

"I just learned from the people that on weekdays, Mrs. Zhang lives alone with Liu Shufen in this courtyard. But if this is true, who is that woman? Why can she appear in this room, and why after that? Disappeared out of thin air again?”

Xiao Tingyan narrowed his eyes and smiled softly. "This woman may be the breakthrough in the case. I suspect that Mrs. Zhang has a big problem..." Yun Luan and Xiao Tingyan had the same idea, and they looked at each other. It seems that we have to look for new clues from Mrs. Zhang."

Xiao Tingyan immediately called Shi Li: "Send someone to keep a careful eye on Mrs. Zhang. Don't let anyone get close to her, lest someone kills her and silences her..." Yun Luan shook her head, and there was a hint of cunning in her eyes. "Ayan, Maybe we can lure the snake out of its hole?"

Xiao Tingyan immediately understood what Yun Luan meant, he raised his hand to rub her hair, and said with a fond smile: "Then do it as you want..." Su Yuan stood aside, boldly speaking. He coughed loudly. "Um... King Yan, it seems a little unruly for you to act like this. According to the normal trial process, the minister must first arrest King Mo and then bring Mrs. Zhang to trial..." Xiao Tingyan smiled softly. He turned to look at Su Yuan without smiling: "Master Su, this is not an ordinary case. It concerns the reputation of the royal family and threatens the innocence of a prince... In extraordinary times, ordinary trial methods cannot be used. What do you think?"

Su Yuan's scalp was numb. How could he dare to refute any more? He watched helplessly as the Banquet King's people guarded Mrs. Zhang. Liu Shufen's body was also moved to another place by the Banquet King's people. This case seemed to be... It was none of his business, and there was no need for him to interfere in anything. He had a feeling that he was being excluded. Su Yuan was in a trance, when suddenly someone from the palace came over with an imperial edict. Everyone in the courtyard was kneeling on their knees. The emperor accepted the order. Only Xiao Tingyan and Yun Luan did not kneel down. Xiao Tingyan stared at the imperial edict and smiled softly. Now that the emperor is controlled by Zhao Waner... How could this imperial edict come from the emperor? ?All this is controlled by Zhao Waner behind the scenes. He doesn't even need to read the content of the imperial edict. He must have punished Xiao Xuanmo and sealed all the charges and convicted him. Naturally, he will not kneel down to accept Zhao Waner's imperial edict. The father-in-law who declared the decree raised his eyebrows and scolded them: "King Yan, Lord of Taiping County, this is the emperor's decree. How dare you bully me and not kneel down to accept the decree? Why, do you want to rebel? ?”

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a heartbreaking pain came from his knees. With a pop, he couldn't control himself and fell to his knees... He wailed in pain and yelled: "Ah... "Xiao Tingyan chuckled lightly and asked someone to take away the imperial edict in his hand. "Let's not say who issued this imperial edict. You, a eunuch alone... dare to use the power of others in front of this king. It’s simply boring to live.”

"Come here, drag him down to the king, smash his mouth...then throw him back to the palace, and let him go to his master to complain."

Shi Li immediately responded and asked the two black-feathered guards to drag the eunuch down. The imperial guards who were escorting Duke Xuan did not dare to let out a fart when they saw this scene. They retreated silently... around them The people all looked at this scene with their mouths open. What was King Yan doing? Is this an attempt to disobey the decree? Is this an open rebellion against the emperor? Su Yuan wiped a layer of sweat from his forehead and looked at it with some fear. To Xiao Tingyan: "Yan... King Yan, are you going to resist the decree? Aren't you afraid of His Majesty, so I will punish you?"

Xiao Tingyan sneered and ignored Su Yuan. He spread out the imperial edict and glanced at its contents. The content was exactly as he had guessed. Once this imperial edict was issued in public, even if King Mo If there is any grievance, if there is anything fishy in it, it will be destroyed by this imperial edict. King Mo is the legitimate son of the middle palace. Once his reputation is ruined, his life will be over. The prince has basically no relationship with him. This is Zhao Waner's conspiracy. , after going in such a big circle, her plan was nothing more than to eliminate Xiao Xuanmo, the legitimate son, so as to support her own son to become the prince. Zhao Waner's plan was quite loud, but he could not let Zhao Waner succeed. Xiao Tingyan directly tore the imperial edict into pieces, and then he turned to look at Su Yuan: "This imperial edict was not issued by the emperor... This is someone who falsely passed on the imperial edict..." He concluded with one sentence, even if Su Yuan did not believe it. He just opened his mouth, not daring to refute. Then the people suddenly realized, oh, it turned out to be a false edict... It seemed that they were too stupid to be as sharp as King Yan's eyes. Xiao Tingyan threw the torn edict in On the ground, he took Yun Luan's hand and re-entered the inner courtyard. Yun Luan asked in a low voice: "The imperial edict shouldn't be fake, right? What did the imperial edict say?"

Xiao Tingyan replied in a low voice: "The imperial edict said that King Mo used his power to oppress the people, killed innocent people, and committed criminal crimes. He should immediately deprive him of the title of King Mo, demote him to a commoner, and exile him to Jiangzhou."

Yun Luan was startled, and she couldn't help but sneer. "The case hasn't been settled yet, but she can't wait to deal with King Mo. She really has Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone on the street knows it."

"The most outrageous thing is that everything she does now is carried out in accordance with the emperor's imperial edict. Not many people dare to disobey her. Now she can be said to have wind and rain."

Xiao Tingyan smiled softly: "Don't worry, she can't be arrogant for much longer. Xiao Xuanrui will be back soon..." Yun Luan raised her eyebrows. She stared at his eyes and asked suspiciously. "What if Xiao Xuanrui comes back? Then they are going to work together, A nest of snakes and rats? Now that Zhao Waner has controlled the emperor, when Xiao Xuanrui comes back, won't they become even more unscrupulous and stir up trouble in Kyoto? "

There was a bit of ridicule in Xiao Tingyan's eyes. He held Yun Luan's hand. He was in a good mood at the moment. He shook his head slowly: "I'm afraid, they will turn against each other and dog bite dog?"

Yun Luan's eyes flashed slightly, "What do you mean? Please make it clearer..." Xiao Tingyan scanned the surrounding area of ​​the courtyard and saw that no one was in his eyes. When he couldn't help but reach out and pull Yun Luan into his arms. Yun Luan Startled, she pursed her lips shyly. "This person is coming and going, and you're not afraid of others seeing it?"

Xiao Tingyan chuckled and shook his head slowly: "Don't be afraid, we are all our people inside and outside this courtyard. Shi Li is guarding outside. He will not let anyone else enter and disturb us. "

"We haven't seen each other in the past few days. Have you missed me?"

Yun Luan did not expect that since she accepted King Banquet's wishes, his behavior became more and more fanatical and uninhibited, as if he had completely lost all scruples and completely let himself go. She was tightly bound by his waist and could not move, so she had to lie down In his arms, she felt the hot breath of his body flowing over her little by little. Her face couldn't help but get redder and redder. She lowered her head and nodded sheepishly. The corners of Xiao Tingyan's mouth curved, Getting bigger and bigger. He lowered his head, rested his chin on the top of her head, and hugged her soft and warm body tightly: "I have been thinking about you these past few days, both day and night. Unfortunately, this is an extraordinary period. "We can't meet too frequently..." "Today, because of King Mo's incident, I got the chance to meet you. In the past, I never knew the pain of lovesickness, but now I feel it every day. Aluan Tell me, when can we get married, and when can I sleep with you?"

Yun Luan's heart beat violently after hearing this. In addition to the shyness in her heart, she only felt a sweetness flowing in her heart. She raised her head, stared at his handsome face, and finally had the courage to look at him. There was a hint of cunning in her eyes, and she said with a bit of ridicule. "When the big thing is over, let's get married. You are not young anymore, it's time to get married, and it's time to have a child..." Xiao Tingyan was startled. He didn't expect that she would suddenly say such a thing to ridicule him. He couldn't laugh or cry, and gently pinched her cheek with his fingers. "Are you really getting braver? You dare to tease me about my age?"

"What, could it be that you dislike me, Mr. Wang?"

Yun Luan couldn't help but chuckle, and shook her head repeatedly: "No, I don't think you are old. I think you are still very young... You are so good-looking that just looking at your face is very pleasing to the eye. "

Xiao Tingyan looked at her helplessly, lowered his head carefully, and kissed her soft lips... Suddenly, a cough came from not far away. Yun Luan shyly pushed Xiao Tingyan away quickly. Xiao Tingyan turned his head unhappily. Looking at the coughing man, Xiao Xuanmo came out of the darkness with some embarrassment. "I'm sorry, Uncle Emperor, I didn't mean to disturb you..." He just felt uneasy and didn't know what the imperial edict was. , just wanted to come over and ask the emperor's uncle. Who knew that as soon as he stepped into this courtyard, he actually saw the emperor's uncle kissing Yun Luan. When he saw that scene, his heart trembled involuntarily, and he covered himself Feeling frustrated, he coughed uncontrollably. In fact, those coughs he made were intentional. For some reason, he didn't want to see the emperor's uncle and Yun Luan so close. Xiao Tingyan asked with a somewhat cold tone: "How do you find me? What's wrong with the king?"

Xiao Xuanmo glanced at Yun Luan secretly, only to see her face flushed with embarrassment, hiding behind Xiao Tingyan, her small white hands tightly holding Xiao Tingyan's sleeves. He was the first to see this shy little daughter. Once he saw it, he felt a little uncomfortable. Xiao Tingyan noticed his gaze and glanced at Yun Luan vaguely. He couldn't help but darken his face: "Where are you looking at?"

Xiao Xuanmo came back to his senses immediately and did not dare to look at Yun Luan again. He quickly asked Xiao Tingyan about the content of the imperial edict. Xiao Tingyan did not want to let go of Yun Luan, so he took Yun Luan into his arms again. Yun Luan thought She wanted to break away, but Xiao Tingyan held her tightly, and she couldn't break away at all... Xiao Xuanmo was watching from the side again, and she just felt a little embarrassed. She was not used to doing these intimate actions with Xiao Tingyan in front of outsiders. After all, something is not good. I don’t know what Xiao Tingyan is thinking. Xiao Tingyan explained the contents of the imperial edict to Xiao Xuanmo impatiently. "The general meaning of the imperial edict is to condemn you and deprive King Mo of his crime." Ban your title and then exile you to Jiangzhou."

A bit of surprise flashed across Xiao Xuanmo's eyes, and he looked at Xiao Tingyan in disbelief: "Is this what my father meant? The case has not yet been concluded, and he has convicted me?"
