Chapter 266: The Nine Kings brought the work (one chapter tonight)
Chapter 266 The Nine Kings Brought Duzuo (an extra chapter tonight)
The diners on the second floor also went upstairs, leaning on the railings and continuing to watch the excitement leisurely.
Anyway, someone is taking care of today's meals, and they can relieve their boredom in this leisurely winter day, so they are not in a hurry.
Across the way, the four officials were dumbfounded that they could still play like this.
"Second Miss, this is against the rules."
The older officer spoke in a gentle tone.
He knew clearly in his heart that Luo Jiuli relied on more than just her identity as the second young lady of the Duke's palace.
And there was the Ninth Prince who couldn't even offend them or their governor.
Luo Jiuli's ability to be so arrogant is all thanks to the Ninth Prince.
"No, this is in line with the rules."
"Lord Official Officer, should you send someone back to invite Wu Zuo, or should I let my people go and invite Wu Zuo?"
Luo Jiuli raised his eyebrows and spoke in a distant tone, neither humble nor overbearing.
"this--"
"What is this? You are a high-ranking official, but why are you so clumsy in your words and actions?"
Nan Zhu couldn't even look away. The official's eyes were wide open as he retorted.
Luo Jiuli smiled faintly.
"Nan Zhu, why are you so anxious? You always have to give people a chance to think."
"cut."
Nan Zhu rolled his eyes wide.
"In my opinion, there is something wrong in my heart that makes me need to think."
"Master, I am very fast on my feet, why don't I go to Jingzhao Mansion to ask for a job?"
"No need, I have invited you here."
Outside the store, a majestic voice sounded like thunder on the ground.
The waiters guarding outside the store all knelt on the ground, and the eagle-eyed diners also knelt down in a panic.
"Nine Princes."
When the four officers saw the people walking in, their faces were ashen, they didn't want to kneel, but the solidification of their class and the majesty of their status made them afraid not to kneel.
"See you, Your Majesty."
Four officials knelt down, and a room full of people, regardless of whether they were upstairs or downstairs, knelt down.
Luo Jiuli was the only one standing in the center, looking at Xiao Mingxuan who was walking towards her step by step.
Xiao Mingxuan walked to her side and put the hand stove in her hand.
"It's cold and you left in a hurry. You didn't even bring a hand stove."
"Your Majesty, why are you here? I didn't ask the housekeeper to--"
"When such a big thing happened, how could I not come?"
Fortunately, the housekeeper was more thoughtful. If he hadn't sent someone to check the reason, he might have been waiting for her to return home.
Everyone had never seen the decisive and decisive Ninth Prince care so much for a woman.
A discerning person also smelled a certain message in the words of Lord Ninth Prince, that is, Luo Jiuli came to the store not from Duke Yiguo's Mansion, but from Lord Ninth Prince's Mansion.
As for the rumors that had been circulating about the relationship between the Ninth Prince and Luo Jiuli, as well as the news that the Ninth Prince was going to the Duke of Yiguo's house to propose marriage, it was confirmed at this moment.
But why did Luo Jiuli move into the Ninth Prince's Mansion before they even got married?
Is it just for the two nurturing maids that the Queen Mother stuffed into the Nine Kings' backyard?
Yes, it should be related to this.
"Everyone, get up."
Xiao Mingxuan gave Luo Jiuli some face before letting everyone stand up with an indifferent expression.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Upstairs and downstairs, everyone got up one after another.
This time, no one dared to shout, and no one dared to whisper in private.
"Mo Han."
"Yes, Master."
Mo Han was always at the door. When he heard the call, he led the people into the store.
The next operation shocked Luo Jiuli.
Behind Mo Han, five guards in black were seen. Under Mo Han's instructions, they stood around the corpse with long white cloths in their hands. With a brush, the white cloth was pulled open and the corpse was surrounded.
The five people had solemn expressions on their faces, and their movements were uniform and unobtrusive.
While Luo Jiuli and everyone were surprised, Xiao Mingxuan looked behind him.
"Sun Zhou, Zhang Pingquan."
"Your Majesty."
"Wei Chen is here."
Two men came forward, one from the left and one from the right. One was an older man with his head lowered, and the other was a middle-aged man dressed in coarse linen.
Opposite, the four official officers who had just stood up, their expressions changed as soon as they saw Sun Zhou and Zhang Pingquan.
"Who are these two?"
Luo Jiuli doesn't know these two people yet.
"I've met Miss Luo Er."
The older man was standing not too far away from Xiao Mingxuan, and spoke to Luo Jiuli in a lukewarm voice, maintaining a good sense of distance.
"Wei Chen has met the second lady."
A middle-aged man in coarse linen clothes stepped forward and saluted Luo Jiuli. He stood very close to Xiao Mingxuan, and his tone of voice when speaking to Luo Jiuli was very gentle.
He didn't even call Miss Luo Er, but directly called Miss Er.
Only people who have a good impression of or are familiar with the other person would call him this.
Xiao Mingxuan glanced at the two men, pointed at the older man and said:
"Sun Zhou, a widower of Jingzhao Mansion."
Then, he pointed to the middle-aged man in coarse linen clothes closest to him and said:
"Zhang Pingquan, author of Dali Temple."
Ever since he learned that a murder had occurred in the store, he had a vague feeling that this incident was unusual.
Chen Xin came from the battlefield. Although he looks rough, he definitely knows the importance of his actions.
Moreover, Luo Jiuli was kind to him, so how could he shoot a stone at his own job and cause trouble to Luo Jiuli.
When he figured out the cause and effect, he urgently asked Mo Han to go to Dali Temple and Jingzhao Mansion to find two widowers.
Following his introduction, Luo Jiuli was startled at first, and then he understood why Xiao Mingxuan had found a co-worker from two government offices. This was to allow them to supervise each other, so that no one could do anything, and the case could be investigated as soon as possible.
Therefore, people who hang out in court are different.
As for these two gangsters, it is clear who is close to them.
"Excuse me, you two. This body has never been moved from beginning to end. It still retains the same posture as when it died. Please inspect it carefully."
"Second Miss, don't worry."
Zhang Pingquan is a descendant of Dali Temple, and the Minister of Dali Temple is Pei Tingsong. Mrs. Pei Tingsong is Luo Jiuli's biological sister. From this level, he has an essentially close feeling to Luo Jiuli.
Moreover, although his immediate boss remains neutral in the court, he has obviously become closest to the Ninth Prince in recent times.
Zhang Pingquan looked at Sun Zhou and raised his hand in a gesture of invitation.
"Sun Wuzuo, please."
Sun Zhou glanced at him.
This glance made Luo Jiuli realize that his colleagues were enemies.
"Zhang Wuzuo, please."
Across the way, the four officers' heads went numb when they saw this posture.
The Ninth Prince not only called Sun Zhou to come, but also called Zhang Pingquan. It was obvious that he could not trust their Jingzhao Mansion.
It seems that if they don't find out what happened today, the Ninth Prince will definitely not let them go.
The leader, at this moment, really wished he could kill the person who tipped off the news.
At this time, who dares to prick someone?
The author has something to say: We are currently under lockdown at home. Those who have not started school and those who are not at work have been extremely busy throughout the day. I finally found time to give you one more chapter, one more chapter!! I hope that all my dear readers, as always,
