Xiao Yujue chased him for two steps, then stopped and quickly walked towards the grass.
He pushed aside the weeds and saw a young girl lying there, motionless.
"Girl?" Xiao Yujue squatted down and saw that the girl was disheveled, so he took off his gown and covered her body. "Girl, how are you?"
Seeing that the woman had no reaction, Xiao Yujue hesitated and said, "I'm offended."
After saying that, he picked up the woman's hand and pressed her pulse gate, but there was no pulse beating anymore.
"Dead?"
Xiao Yujue was a little sad because he still couldn't save her after all.
At this time, a burst of messy and noisy footsteps came, and he saw a pile of torches gathered outside.
"Sir, this is it. I was passing by during the night watch and heard something moving inside."
"Go in and search."
A group of government officials rushed in and surrounded Xiao Yujue without saying a word.
"Where does this thief come from? He's so brave. He actually dares to do such a shameless and despicable thing in the imperial city."
Xiao Yujue felt helpless, stood up straight, and said calmly: "Captain Liu, you can see my appearance clearly before you make a conclusion."
Liu Captou was from the Punishment Department Yamen. He heard the voice sounded familiar and felt nervous. He quickly grabbed the Yamen servant's torch and took a few steps forward.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince?"
When I saw Xiao Yujue's appearance clearly, I felt a little overwhelmed for a moment, and then knelt down to salute.
"I didn't know that I was His Highness the Crown Prince. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Everyone knelt down, and Xiao Yujue suddenly realized that the atmosphere was a little strange.
He calmed down and said calmly: "Get up."
"Your Highness, what are you doing?" Liu Captou did not dare to speculate, but the scene in front of him made people think more about it.
In the grass was a girl who had been kidnapped and killed; her body was covered with Xiao Yujue's clothes.
There was only Xiao Yujue beside him.
"I was returning from patrolling the camp outside the city. I saw a suspicious person on the way and chased him here. I saw the girl who had been killed."
Xiao Yujue's words were not only an answer to Liu Captou's question, but also an explanation to the people present.
"You take the person back to the Penal Department Yamen and act according to the regulations."
"Yes, I obey."
Liu Captou was half convinced and looked at Xiao Yujue secretly from the corner of his eye.
Xiao Yujue was also looking at him at this time. He was so frightened that he trembled and never dared to look again.
After all, Xiao Yujue is the crown prince who is inferior to one person and surpasses ten thousand people. He cannot afford to offend him at all.
The girl killed tonight was also a woman who hoped to become an oiran in Yue Lao Dan. Her father was a famous jewelry merchant in the capital, and her death aroused even more public outrage.
After listening to Capt. Liu's report, the Minister of Punishment had lingering fears about Xiao Yujue's presence at the scene of the crime.
He ordered to go down and block the news, but there is no airtight wall in the world, and the matter still spread like wildfire among the people.
After all, when it comes to the prince, many people become secretive.
After Xiao Yujue left the morning court, she returned to the Prince's Mansion in a depressed mood.
Some officials have already begun to impeach him for his misconduct.
"Your Highness."
Mu Jingrui walked in, looked at Xiao Yujue's frown, and showed a faint smile.
"Your Highness is still worried about that matter?"
"If you had been there that day, maybe the murderer would have been caught."
"Your Highness thinks too highly of your subordinates." Mu Jingrui thought carefully and said, "His Highness and his subordinates just sent someone to the Penal Department Yamen to inquire about the situation. The girl who was killed that night had basically the same cause of death as the previous ones, and her methods were extremely cruel.
, it should be the same person."
"This matter must be checked as soon as possible, otherwise, I'm afraid I will be regarded as a suspect."
"His Royal Highness, the grandfather of Ma behind the queen queen came." The housekeeper came in and reported.
Xiao Yuzhang and Mu Jingrui glanced at each other, but they got up and walked out.
When I came to the hall, Gong Ma came up to a gift to Xiao Yuzhang.
"There is a Grandpa Raima who run it in person.
Gong Ma bowed and smiled, and said, "Oh, being able to come to the prince's house to make a word of the prince. The queen mother knows that His Royal Highness now helps the emperor to handle government affairs, physically and mentally exhausted, and the Japanese machine.
I picked a few for you to send it to you. "
Having said that, Gong Ma patted his hands. The six figures were graceful.
"See His Royal Highness."
Xiao Yuzhang's face was green on the spot.
"Gonggong Ma, what does the queen mother mean?"
"The queen mother hurts you, these are the most picky servants around the queen mother. Although they can't log in to the elegant hall, it is still useful to stay by the bed."
Xiao Yuzhang was furious and secretly clenched his fists, but it was not easy to attack.
At this time, the queen mother sent him six beauties, which was clearly intended.
On the surface, it was good to him. In fact, a cluster of oil was added to the flames that were originally burned.
"His Royal Highness, the slave will not delay you, and leave." Ma Gonggong turned his followers and turned away.
"How do you have this."
Xiao Yushen was so angry that she shook the table with a palm, scaring the six girls shivering, and she dared not come out when she stood beside the atmosphere.
Mu Jingrui made a gesture to signal the housekeeper to take the six girls out and handed Xiao Yuyu a cup of tea.
"His Royal Highness eliminates his breath, there is no need to waste your mind on these things."
"The queen mother is clearly telling everyone, and even she thinks I am the murderer who picks flowers."
What is even more depressed is that he also wants to be grateful to Dade; and, according to the rules, he has to have the same room with these women to show his respect for the queen mother.
Mu Jingrui was not good at words. When she saw Xiao Yuzhang's anger, she couldn't say anything comfortable, so she had to retreat.
He walked home alone and walked on the bustling street, and he kept sorting out what happened in these days.
What Xiao Yuyi encountered that night, it seemed like it was arranged in advance.
But the question is, now the Manchu dynasty is civil and military, who else wants to frame Xiao Yuyu?
Thinking about it, there was a stunned yen in front of it.
Mu Jingrui was squeezed aside by crowds, looking up, and the Ling family's sedan was slowly coming. Looking at the specifications of the sedan seeds, it should be Ling Yuwen.
There was an inexplicable idea in his heart.
Mu Jingrui quietly followed Ling Yuwen.
I saw Ling Yuwen walking into the restaurant after getting out of the sedan. A few barks that had long been at the door rushed up to beg.
The followers around Ling Yuwen scolded loudly and were stopped by Ling Yuwen.
He took out some broken silver and gave it to the little beggar, and patted their heads gently.
Mu Jingrui sent Ling Yuwen's figure into the restaurant, and left thoughtfully.
