Chapter 338 Accident, Aunt Butterfly is still alive
Pei Tingsong and Xiao Mingxuan looked at each other at the same time.
Luo Jiuli was also startled.
"There is no Auntie Die'er, but how did you confirm your identity during the autopsy?"
Zhang Ping felt ashamed all over.
"In reply to the second lady, it was the body identified by the servants of the Jiang Mansion."
"What's more, the body was indeed found in the aunt's yard. The corpse was still wearing the gold engraved bracelet that the aunt loved most during her lifetime."
"I heard that Jiang Fengnian specially sent someone to make the gold-engraved bracelet for that aunt. Isn't this a secret in Jiang Mansion?"
Luo Jiuli: No wonder there were many unjust, false and erroneous cases in ancient times, but with this technology, there is no one else.
But she is powerless now, with no equipment, and nothing belonging to Aunt Dieer, not even a single hair.
A fire completely burned down Jiang Mansion, and her skills were unable to provide any help to this case.
"Alas! In this case, her identity is self-evident."
"Made with care."
Pei Tingsong simply gritted his teeth.
Damn it, they were only looking for existing evidence but ignored such important clues.
Moreover, Luo Jiuli specifically warned him.
Faced with Pei Tingsong's uncontrollable anger, Xiao Mingxuan was particularly calm.
"My lord, what are you thinking about?"
"Countermeasures."
Xiao Mingxuan turned his head and looked at Luo Jiuli calmly.
"I guess Hu Jue didn't expect that the chess piece he wanted to silence would escape."
When Pei Tingsong heard this, he immediately became energetic when he thought that there was evidence to punish Hu Jue.
"Your Majesty is right. Careful work, especially this kind of work that holds the master's hand, may bring danger to the master at any time. After the matter is completed, there is almost no way to escape the possibility of becoming an abandoned son."
"But at the same time, this kind of person's character is not comparable to ordinary people. She knows that she must die, but she is not willing to become an abandoned child, so--"
"Death escape is the best choice."
Pei Tingsong now wished he could catch that Aunt Die'er right away.
"Your Majesty, I will immediately arrange for manpower to arrest you secretly."
Xiao Mingxuan waved his hand.
"Mo Han, you go with Mr. Pei and make sure to catch them all."
"yes."
Mo Han accepted the order, turned around and left with Pei Tingsong.
Zhang Pingquan also retreated at the right time.
In the inner hall, only Luo Jiuli and Xiao Mingxuan were left.
"Your Majesty, what if someone comes from the palace before Mo Han and the others find evidence?"
When the time comes, we have to let people go.
Xiao Mingxuan looked at the dark yard outside, turned around and pulled Luo Jiuli over, leaned over and whispered a few words in her ear.
Luo Jiuli's eyes gradually brightened as she listened to what he said in her ear.
"This method is feasible, but Hu Jue is cunning and suspicious by nature, so it will inevitably cause complications——"
Luo Jiuli lowered his head and took out a bottle of lidocaine from the side medicine bag.
"Once this substance is overdosed, various side effects such as visual and hearing impairment, euphoria, restlessness, and talkativeness will occur."
Xiao Mingxuan looked down at the thing in her hand that he had never seen before, and then looked up at the eager expression in her eyes.
Without asking any more questions, he nodded and agreed.
In the inner hall, the two people were planning. At the entrance of Dali Temple, the Duke of Guo had already walked in with Eunuch Qi.
"Eunuch Qi is here. Pei Tingsong quickly came out to greet him."
Eunuch Qi was startled and waved his hands hurriedly.
"Oh! Mr. Guo, our family is not an outsider. If people hear that Mr. Guo is doing this, His Majesty will make a small contribution to our family. We don't want this head anymore."
"Besides, Mr. Pei is ranked as the ninth minister. How many heads in our family dare to let Mr. Pei go out to greet him."
The Duke of Guo smiled and cursed in his heart, "You are a popular person in front of the Emperor. Anyone who sees you must not nod and bow. Even though I am a weakling, I cannot neglect you."
"What did Eunuch Qi say? During the time when I was away from the capital, it was thanks to Eunuch Qi that he took care of these children in my family, not to mention -"
"Besides, it's the junior's greeting to the elders. Eunuch Qi, please come in quickly."
Luo Jiuli walked out of the house with light steps and quickly walked down the steps. On top of the steps was the Ninth Prince Xiao Mingxuan standing behind him.
"Ouch! The second lady is here too."
Eunuch Qi was flattered. Others looked at his status. Some people called him Eunuch Qi when he was good, but some called him eunuch when he was bad.
There are very few people like Luo Jiuli who call themselves juniors and elders.
It really made him feel a little more happy.
Seeing that Xiao Mingxuan was also there, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
"Let's meet the Ninth Prince."
"Eunuch Qi is exempt from courtesy."
As soon as Xiao Mingxuan left Luo Jiuli, he looked cold and dignified again.
On the side, the Duke of Guo walked up to his daughter.
"Girl, why are you here?"
Luo Jiuli: This question is asking, how should she answer it, to see the excitement of Hu Jue being arrested and thrown into prison, or to say that she plans to kill Hu Jue.
"Li'er came with me."
Xiao Mingxuan made a timely rescue.
"It doesn't matter if you come with the prince or not."
The Duke nodded.
"Eunuch Qi, what do you mean when Eunuch Qi came to Dali Temple at night?"
Xiao Mingxuan looked at Eunuch Qi.
Qi Gong said:
"Replying to the Ninth Prince, our family is here to send Lord Sima back to his home on the order of the Emperor."
Eunuch Qi is like this, he is very able to position himself right.
Although he is the person next to the emperor and the chief steward of the palace, he understands in his heart that he is just a servant of the royal family. When facing the royal people, he has always been respectful.
When Xiao Mingxuan heard this, he exchanged looks with Luo Jiuli.
"In that case, let's go together."
Xiao Mingxuan said and also walked down the steps.
The Duke of Guo and Eunuch Qi were stunned.
Eunuch Qi hurriedly said:
"Your Majesty, Tianlao is a filthy place. Your Majesty is a noble person -"
Xiao Mingxuan stopped, looked over and said:
"I have gone into battle to kill the enemy. I have been on the battlefield for several years. I have seen countless filth. How have I ever been afraid?"
Saying that, he lifted his feet and walked away.
Behind him, Eunuch Qi smiled awkwardly and followed suit.
A group of four people walked toward the Tianlao one after another.
In the prison, when Hu Jue saw Xiao Mingxuan coming, he stood up with a cane and wanted to salute.
"Old minister, I see you, Your Majesty."
Xiao Mingxuan waved his hand.
"No need."
After saying that, he stood still.
Behind him, Luo Jiuli pushed Eunuch Qi and gave him a look.
Eunuch Qi was smart, so he stepped forward and shook off the Buddha dust.
"Our family has saluted Lord Sima."
Hu Jue looked at Eunuch Qi, and then at Xiao Mingxuan. He couldn't figure out for a moment whether Xiao Mingxuan came here at the request of the emperor, or--
"Eunuch Qi."
Xiao Mingxuan spoke, interrupting his thoughts.
"The imperial brother sent my father-in-law here. It would be better for my father-in-law to explain clearly to Mr. Sima what he means."
