Opposite, Nan Xing, Qin Wu and others were so frightened that their hearts almost jumped out of their chests. Seeing the man's death, they all retreated to their two masters.
"Prince, Master, are you okay?"
Nanzhu's soft whip is broken and can no longer be used.
Xiao Mingxuan still looked serious, and Luo Jiuli also shook his head in shock.
"fine."
"Mohan."
Xiao Mingxuan's voice was cold and stern without any emotion.
"Your Majesty."
Mo Han stepped forward.
"You immediately go to the Jingzhao Prefecture and tell Zhou Shirui that as the Jingzhao Prefecture, his duty is to protect the security of the capital. Now that a killer has appeared in his jurisdiction and a life has been lost, he cannot absolve himself of the blame. Let him immediately
Send someone to find out if the killer has any accomplices, and if so, shoot them without mercy."
"yes."
Mo Han took the order and immediately left the store.
On the side, Zhang Pingquan's hands were still trembling. He was not afraid of dead people, but afraid of these killers hiding in the dark and waiting for opportunities.
"Your Majesty, it seems unusual for a killer to appear in the capital."
And he still appeared in Miss Luo Er's shop.
"Well, you go back to Dali Temple immediately and report this matter to Pei Tingsong."
"yes."
Zhang Pingquan saluted, turned around and walked out.
Xiao Mingxuan turned around and glanced at Sun Zhou and the four officials.
After all, Sun Zhou is old and can act based on his face.
"Your Majesty, I will report to Mr. Zhou truthfully what happened in the store today."
"Um."
Xiao Mingxuan gave a faint hum and locked his eyes on the four officials.
Among the four, the eldest leader knew that if they didn't confess at this moment, what awaited them might not be as simple as dismissal and investigation.
Then he knelt on the ground and said:
"Your Majesty, Beizhi was patrolling the front street. A short man ran over in a panic and told us that the best man in the world beat someone to death, so Beizhi brought people here."
Xiao Mingxuan said coldly.
"roll."
When the four of them heard this, they stood up and crawled.
Sun Zhou sighed helplessly, cupped his fists and saluted.
"Your Majesty, I have to leave."
With that said, he also left the store with the four officials.
When everything returned to calm, Luo Jiuli asked Zhang Wen to start dealing with the problems of the diners in the store.
However, no one saw that in the teahouse diagonally across from the No. 1 Pot in the World, a man whose face could not be seen clearly kept monitoring everything in the shop. It was not until the dust settled that the man slowly got up and left the teahouse.
On the second floor, inside the Cailingdu wing.
The invisible Qin Wu stepped forward to report.
"Master, Second Miss."
"Ever since Nanxing sent me the signal, I have been hiding beside the killer. I have carefully observed that the killer has been watching the second lady since he entered the store, waiting for an opportunity to move. However, because of the protection of Nanxing and Nanzhu,
The subordinate deliberately revealed his inner strength in front of him, so he was alert and did not kill him."
When Luo Jiuli said this, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
"You mean, the person this charlatan killer really wants to kill is me."
Qin Wu nodded.
"You must be careful."
Nan Xing, who had been silent, also said:
"Also, the four official servants in the store also played a certain deterrent effect. Although they are not good at martial arts, fortunately, the skin they wear belongs to the official family. These charlatan killers are actually most taboo about making grudges with the official family."
"Since it is taboo to have grudges with officials, it is impossible for the killer not to know that I am the second young lady of the Duke of Yiguo, so why did he kill me?"
Nan Xing shook her head, how dare she make random guesses.
"Someone paid to kill someone."
Xiao Mingxuan's face dripped with gloom.
"Since the day before yesterday, you have been accompanying me in the palace and have not come to the store. They can't find anyone, and they don't dare to go to the Duke's palace and the palace to assassinate you. They can only cause turmoil in the store and attract you to appear."
Fortunately, there are Nan Xing and Nan Zhu in the light, and Qin Wu in the dark.
He also brought people here in time.
Otherwise, he couldn't even imagine what would happen today.
"Who is buying the murderer? Who is it? Who insists on putting me to death? The Queen Mother, the noble concubine, the Prince Zhao, the people of the Grand Sima Mansion?"
Xiao Mingxuan frowned.
"It's probably not the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine. It's impossible for the harem's female relatives to come into contact with the Jianghu Killer."
"Then there are only people from King Zhao and Da Sima's Mansion?"
"I will send someone to investigate this matter privately, so don't worry."
In the wing room, everyone's hearts sank to the bottom of their hearts. The enemy on the surface was easy to deal with, but the nature of hiring a murderer in the dark was so bad that they couldn't guard against it.
"Your Majesty, Master, it's not safe in the store now, so you should go back home first."
Although Nan Zhu is a bit impatient, his mind is never muddled at critical moments.
Nan Xing also nodded.
"My subordinates think that after what happened today, they know that we are already on guard, and they probably won't take action again in a short period of time."
Xiao Mingxuan turned his head and glanced at Luo Jiuli, who was deep in thought, knowing that she must be feeling uncomfortable.
"Let's go back home and talk about it later."
Luo Jiuli nodded, knowing that at this time, everyone was trying their best to protect her, and she must not cause trouble to others.
Several people went downstairs and met the housekeeper who came in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, Second Miss."
The butler's face was full of worry.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Luo Jiuli comforted him.
The housekeeper looked at Luo Jiuli from top to bottom, and finally regained his composure with his heart frightened.
"As long as nothing happens, it will be good."
"Second Miss, Madam asked me to come and deliver a message. Second Miss will not return to the mansion for the time being. The Duke and the Eldest Young Master have not returned to the capital. There are a lot of old and weak women in the mansion. The guards will definitely not be able to protect Second Miss."
"Don't come to the store either. The store will be taken care of by Zhang Wen and a few guys."
"At this time, the second lady can only feel at ease if she is by the prince's side."
As the housekeeper said this, he took out a letter from his body and handed it to Xiao Mingxuan.
"Your Majesty, this is the letter my wife wrote to your Majesty in front of the Buddha."
Xiao Mingxuan looked at the letter handed to him and reached out to take it.
"I will take a look when I return home. Go back and tell your wife that as long as I am here, no one will harm Li'er at all."
"As for the Duke and the eldest son, I have already sent people to greet them. It is estimated that they will return to Beijing in a few days."
When the housekeeper heard this, his face finally relaxed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
On the side, Luo Jiuli asked:
"How has your mother been in the past two days?"
"In reply to the second miss, my wife is well. Yesterday, Mrs. Xie and Miss Xie came to visit to say thank you. They stayed with the wife for a long time and talked for a long time."
"You mean Xie Mansion? Mrs. Xie and Xie Chongzi?"
The Xie family came to pay their respects. It must have been the last time she attended the full moon banquet of the Xie family's direct grandson.
"Exactly."
The housekeeper nodded, and the lady asked him to tell the lady exactly what he said. He did not dare to lie.
Luo Jiuli turned his head and looked at Xiao Mingxuan.
What did her mother mean by asking the housekeeper to tell her about Xie's visit?
Is it because she wants to make friends with the Xie family? Or is it because of the fifth prince? Or is it because she wants to find out the prince's reaction to this matter?
