Leng Xiao hurried past the corridor, and when he entered the main hall, Murong Yu was reviewing the memorial.
"Your Highness!" Leng Xiao said, "The black market situation has made progress."
Murong Yu held Zhu Bi's hand for a moment, looked up and said, "Say."
"The person who went to the black market to place an order to buy the murderer was Jiangzhou Supervisor Liu Mingchang." Leng Xiao said in a deep voice: "When my subordinates led people to chase him, Liu Mingchang had already run away, and only one of his confidants and stewards was captured.
"
"Under torture, the steward has confessed that it was Liu Mingchang who was involved in the corruption case. He had recently seen that Miss Ming had intensive contact with His Highness, and Miss Ming had previously sent Fu Mingting over. He thought Miss Ming had evidence, so he attacked her and wanted to harm her.
Death witness."
"Inspector of Jiangzhou." Murong Yu repeated slowly, "A fifth-grade official has a high rank here in Jiangzhou. It sounds like what this steward said is reasonable, but I haven't checked him yet.
His reaction was so great."
Leng Xiao said in a deep voice: "No one has thoroughly investigated the Jiangzhou case. He probably thought that sooner or later he would be found out, so he jumped over the wall in a hurry."
"not necessarily."
Murong Yu sneered: "Maybe he just acts as a shield for others."
Leng Xiao said seriously: "Your Highness, don't worry, the people sent out will capture Liu Mingchang in the shortest possible time. You will know when the time comes."
At this moment, a guard dressed in black walked out and whispered a few words to Leng Xiao.
Leng Xiao's face darkened on the spot.
Murong Yu said calmly: "Just die."
"..." Leng Xiao took a breath, "His Highness was right. A body was found in the river outside Jiangzhou City. There was a fatal wound on the neck. He was killed and thrown in."
The corruption case here in Jiangzhou not only involves more than a hundred officials in Jiangzhou's officialdom, but also involves ministers in Beijing and China.
In the past few years, several imperial envoys were sent but all returned without success, so Murong Yu came here in person.
At this time, Murong Yu was not surprised at all, and said quietly: "No one in Jiangzhou, except the governor of Jiangzhou, has the courage to do such a thing under the eyes of this king."
Leng Xiao gritted his teeth: "I really want to take that bastard right away——"
"To handle a case, you need evidence. If you want to convict the governor of Jiangzhou, you need a lot of evidence."
Leng Xiao said indignantly: "This Jiangzhou governor is an old fox, and he does everything right. I have checked him for so long, but I haven't found anything. No one involved in the case dared to mention him at all."
"He dared to unite with others to drug Miss Ming, and blatantly brought her to His Highness for bribery. It was simply because he was backed by his father-in-law's family. If Your Highness wanted to touch him, the entire government and the public would be shocked."
"That's why he's so confident!"
Murong Yu casually approved the last memorial, and with a flick of his wrist, the ink pen hung back on the pen holder, "Have you found the person you asked to find?"
Leng Xiao was startled for a moment and asked quickly: "Your Highness, are you talking about the Taoist nun named Miao Hui?"
Murong Yu nodded: "Not bad."
"That Taoist nun lives in the Goddess Nunnery in Leiyun Mountain on the outskirts of Jiangzhou City, but she said she has been traveling in the clouds recently and has not come back yet."
"Send someone to keep an eye on her. The day she comes back will be the day when Jiangzhou Governor's case will turn around."
Leng Xiao said "yes", but he was really doubtful in his heart.
How can a Taoist nun help the case?
Moreover, the regent suddenly mentioned this person. Although His Highness visited Jiangzhou several times, it was impossible for him to know any Taoist nun.
"Your Highness."
At this time, Aunt Bai's voice sounded with a smile: "The Ming family has sent a letter."
Murong Yu's eyebrows moved slightly, and a hidden expectation appeared in his eyes.
The letter must have been written by Ming Wuyou.
Aunt Bai delivered the letter to Murong Yu.
Murong Yu suppressed the expectations in his heart, but he couldn't control his hands and opened the letter with an unnoticeable urgency.
There was only one sentence on the letter: Your Highness promised to accompany me, but when I woke up I didn’t see His Highness at all.
Murong Yu imagined that if Ming Wuyou said this to him, would he look angry and complain?
He suddenly remembered the way she pestered him so cutely that night.
She sent this letter because she wanted to see him?
Murong Yu thought for a long time before asking: "How has her injury been in the past few days?"
"Recovering very well." Aunt Bai replied: "I can already get out of bed and walk around, but after all, I injured my muscles and bones at the time, so I can't move around much. I stay in Wuyou Pavilion most of the time."
Murong Yu slowly twisted the letter paper with his fingers, and after a moment, he whispered: "No supper tonight."
Aunt Bai was slightly stunned and immediately understood what Murong Yu meant.
I am going to visit Xianggui at night to see Ming Wuyou.
Aunt Bai said with a smile, "Well, I'll prepare some pastries that Miss Ming likes."
…
Today is the beginning of the month, and the night is dark with no moon visible.
Ming Wuyou wore a light purple cloak and stood at the window staring blankly at the flower stand in the yard, thinking that Murong Yu had received the letter and would reply to him.
Murong Yu is a relatively serious, even a bit rigid person.
It would be a bit boring to fall in love with this kind of person, because he really doesn't know how to be romantic, and he will never be able to say romantic sweet words.
But now, Murong Yu and Ming Wuyou are a bit cute like this.
She knew that he might not be able to reply to her, but she still looked forward to his reply.
It doesn't matter if she doesn't understand romance or romance, but it does give her a chance to take the initiative to flirt with him, which is great.
Ming Wuyou just stood there for a while.
There was a knocking at the door.
Ming Wuyou asked: "Caiyue?"
The person outside the door did not answer and continued to knock rhythmically.
Ming Wuyou was suspicious, stepped over and opened the door: "Didn't I ask you to go first - Your Highness?!"
Ming Wuyou looked at the person standing at the door in surprise.
The dancing candlelight in the room hit his face, illuminating that cold and angular face extremely clearly.
Ming Wuyou couldn't help but stepped forward and grabbed Murong Yu's arm: "Are you here to see me?"
"Um."
Murong Yu nodded. Seeing that her little face was still a little pale, he couldn't help but said: "It's windy at the door, let's go in."
"Okay -" Ming Wuyou nodded, holding Murong Yu's wrist and walking inside.
After arriving at the screen, she saw Murong Yu holding a food box in his hand.
Murong Yu put down the food box and said quietly: "Mother Bai said you like to eat this."
Ming Wuyou didn't care about the contents of the food box at all.
She looked at Murong Yu and said softly: "I was still thinking about His Highness just now, but I didn't expect His Highness to appear in front of me. We really have a good understanding."
"You..." Murong Yu looked at her with a complicated expression and said hesitantly: "Were you thinking about me just now?"
"Um."
Ming Wuyou nodded, "I remembered that night, I was injured, I pestered His Highness for a long time, and I still talked to His Highness——"
Her voice suddenly disappeared, her eyes were shining as she looked at Murong Yu's handsome face, and her fingers gently fell on Murong Yu's lips. This chapter has been completed!
