Chapter 98
The chaos in Tianguguan County (10)
It has been sunny for three whole days, but the snow on the northern mountains has not completely melted, and there is even a hint of frost under the night.
The fog is hazy.
The darkness swallowed up the dawn, but it could not swallow up the darkness and anxiety in Beifeng Village.
Beifeng Village, which had been looted, was finally burned to death by a sudden fire.
Almost burned everything.
It was already halfway through the night, and there was only a scorched mess left in the village. The thatched houses had long been blackened, collapsed, and swayed here and there.
The entire village was in a mess.
The lit torch clearly illuminated the figure tied up on a burnt pillar. Yang Weiyu fainted and was tied there by Xiao Ziyu.
Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, one drop at a time, staining his collar.
Two Qiaoqians were guarding one on the left and the other on the right.
Outside the village, Xiao Ziyu was wearing a red robe, shaking his folding fan slightly, and holding a package in his other hand. He saw a slim figure in black from a distance. He immediately walked over in two steps and said respectfully:
"Miss, the matter is settled."
As he spoke, the package in his hand was also handed over.
Su Rao looked at it, shook his head for a moment.
"Since you are Mr. Xiao, you will naturally continue to come forward in this matter. What does His Highness mean when the goods in the pavilion were robbed?"
"Miss, won't you take care of it yourself?"
Xiao Ziyu did not take the job immediately, but asked rhetorically like this.
"I am now the second master of your Xiaoyao residence. Is it true that the rule of Xiaoyao residence is that the master must take action in everything and ask questions?"
Su Rao also asked in reply and walked into the village.
"Furthermore, Mr. Xiao doesn't want to know why the prince wants to go against the Lian Ge, and what his intention is in robbing the Lian Ge's goods. If you don't want to know, then you, Mr. Xiao, are incompetent at all. If Han Mochen's subordinates are so useless, , then he will stay?”
The posture of handing out the package was still the same, but Xiao Ziyu's palms were already stained with sweat.
He was so careful, but he was still noticed...
"Don't come to test me. Your master has not tested me yet..."
This sound reached his ears again. It was a clear and clear sound, but Xiao Ziyu felt his heart pounding. He swallowed and then turned around.
Dressed in black, compared to the white dress he saw, this young lady from the Su family exuded the kind of heroic appearance that only the Su family possesses, and her mind was as sharp as the Lord said, so she deserved to be treated special.
"Miss, please teach me. I have learned from you."
After following up and apologizing, Xiao Ziyu frankly admitted his temptation.
Su Rao had already walked into the courtyard, and paused in her steps. Her bright peach blossom eyes fell on Xiao Ziyu again, her face was calm, without any anger.
"You don't need to apologize to me. Your temptation would be the same if I were you. But you have to understand that since you are Mr. Xiao, you have to guard the Ling Pavilion without any harm."
"My subordinate understands."
Without saying another word, Su Rao walked up to Yang Weiyu and cast her eyes on him by the firelight. She narrowed her eyes slightly. For a moment, her eyes moved slightly and she quietly glanced at Xiao Ziyu behind her.
It was very early in the morning, and the fog was hazy. As dawn approached, the frost in the mountains became thicker and thicker. The clouds and mountains were surrounded by fog, making it look like a fairyland. The sound of horse hooves could also be heard outside the village.
Yiying appeared, and the people who followed him...
Yun Murui…
If it were just this person, Su Rao, who was hiding in the dark, wouldn't frown, but at this moment, the corners of her eyebrows were frowning, showing a faint wrinkle.
Because there was another person accompanying Yun Murui.
Su Da…
When Su Rao hid behind the ruins, Xiao Ziyu could imagine her reaction even though he couldn't see it. He glanced at the ruins and then looked outside the village.
"Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince thinks that this young master will be disadvantageous to His Highness the Crown Prince? Does His Highness the Crown Prince not know about the grudges between this Young Master and the Su family, or is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doing this deliberately and really wants to make things difficult for me?"
These words were spoken with a touch of displeasure. Mr. Xiao was never afraid of high-ranking officials.
His arrogance was earned by Su Rao in three years for Young Master Xiao.
"Master Xiao's words are different."
After the horse's hooves fell, Yun Murui got off his horse, waved his hand to ask Su Dahou to stay outside the village, and followed Yi Ying into the village alone.
I'm not worried about my own safety at this moment.
"Last night, a batch of disaster relief supplies transported into Tianguguan County was almost robbed by bandits. Young Master Xiao happened to capture Sheriff Yang at this time. Young Master Xiao acted like this. I would like to ask why Young Master Xiao wanted to be at odds with Commander Yang.
Those bandits last night..."
The steps stopped, the words stopped, and the wise eyes were shrewd.
Xiao Ziyu naturally understood what Yun Murui meant by his words.
Suspect.
There was a romantic chuckle: "Yang Weiyu colluded with Beifeng Village to rob the goods of my hut, and he confessed that His Royal Highness was behind this incident..."
Without beating around the bush, Xiao Ziyu directly stated the purpose of inviting the prince here.
You doubt me, and I doubt you even more!
"oh!"
Yun Murui seemed to find it ridiculous.
"Do you believe Mr. Xiao?"
He asked rhetorically, and his eyes fell on Yang Weiyu, who was still fainting on Jiao Zhu. His eyes were dark, but his face suddenly darkened.
"Last night the bandits robbed the disaster relief supplies. We were still wondering who the bandits were so audacious that they even dared to rob officials' supplies. Now it seems that it was Yang Weiyu who colluded with the bandits to guard themselves..."
Su Rao, whose eyes had been falling on Su Da, shifted his gaze at this moment.
Looking at Yun Murui, her bright peach blossom eyes were surrounded by a faint peach color.
Sure enough, a royal person...
Then it fell on Xiao Ziyu.
Bring out a touch of depth.
"Given Young Master Xiao's reputation in Langjing, what is the benefit of this palace being an enemy of Lian Pavilion? What's more, if it is true as Yang Weiyu said, Young Master Xiao feels how stupid this palace is to use such a person..."
His eyes fell on Yang Weiyu again, and Yang Weiyu's calm expression could not catch his eyes at all. It was not arrogance or arrogance, but that as the prince of the dynasty, he should employ people and recruit wise men, so he was so stupid and easily betrayed his master.
Who knows how to use it?
After just two words, Yun Murui didn't need to defend himself anymore.
If Mr. Xiao can't even see through Yang Weiyu's little tricks, then he is really in vain for being a celebrity in Langjing, let alone being valued by his mother.
"I don't believe what His Highness the Crown Prince said. I invited His Highness to come here because I just want to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to bring justice to me and put an end to such corrupt officials."
As he spoke, a dagger appeared in Xiao Ziyu's hand and handed it to the prince...
If he is not yours, the Crown Prince, then please ask His Majesty the Crown Prince to make the decision! Such corrupt officials are still living as flesh and blood for the common people.
"Court officials who colluded with bandits would not regret dying..."
Even so, Yun Murui never took the dagger.
"It's just that Mr. Xiao is so used to being casual that he has forgotten that I still have..."
The law says.
Then the sentence ended abruptly.
The dagger went straight into Yang Weiyu's heart, and scarlet suddenly spurted out.
"It is true that death is not a pity, but His Highness the Crown Prince is the crown prince of our court. How can he do it himself? Then I will do it for you."
Throwing the dagger to the ground, Xiao Ziyu took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on his hands.
Kill Yang Weiyu and let this matter go away. We are all smart people...
What happened today was a warning, and it was also a way for me to show His Highness the prince's face. I will not pursue this matter again, but there will never be a second time.
What do you think, His Royal Highness?
