Chapter 304 Is this turning heads?

West City, an ordinary house.

The entire courtyard was surrounded by officers and soldiers of Gyeonggi Guards.

People around all remember that a dozen days ago, just next door to this ordinary house, a wealthy family named Yuan, whose family of [-] were killed.The two daughters were still humiliated and died. Those who had the courage to look inside saw that the room was full of blood and dead bodies, which was miserable and terrifying.

At that time, officers and soldiers surrounded the house. I heard that the murderer has not been caught yet.

Now that the next room is surrounded again, could it be that the murderer is the person in the next room?
No, everyone who lives in this area knows that there is only a widowed young lady and a pair of old servants living in the next room. No matter which of these three people, it seems that they can kill 17 people without blinking. People, not to mention, the two sisters who were raped to death, it is obvious that the murderer was a man.

Those who have good things can't help thinking, could it be that the widowed young lady couldn't bear the loneliness, and she had an adulterer, and it was the adulterer who did it?
While peeping from a distance, amidst the discussions, a group of people came from the street, aggressively rushing into the courtyard.

Gyeonggi Guard blocked the people, the leader was about 50 years old, wearing a satin gown, his face showed the shrewdness of a businessman, he bowed his hands to the gate of Gyeonggi Guard, and said: "My lord, the surviving widow of my son lives inside, I heard that he Provoking an adulterer and ruining the style of the family. My royal family cannot tolerate such a daughter-in-law, and must be dealt with in public, please allow me!"

That Jingji Wei said uncompromisingly: "Wait!"

The head of the Wang family didn't force his way in, but only raised his voice to those who were poking their heads to see the heat: "My Wang family's family is unfortunate, and there is such an unfaithful woman, and everyone in the neighborhood laughs at me!"

Everyone thought, is it true that the widowed young lady found an adulterer?

Was that adulterer the one who killed the Yuan family?
Some people even began to speculate, could it be that the Yuan family discovered the adultery and brought revenge?

The Patriarch of the Wang Family spoke uprightly and sternly, and the spectators also looked to be looking for secrets.

At this time, the gate of the courtyard opened, and Jingjiwei escorted a man with a broken wrist, a hand hanging down, thick brows and big eyes, who looked a little bit fierce and a bit ugly, and came out.

The man lost his legs, his face was pale, covered in blood, and he was dragged out by two Gyeonggi guards.

As the man was pushed out, the faces of the people outside became extremely exciting, and they were all thinking, there really is a man, and there really is an adulterer.

At this time, another man in black brocade clothes walked out of the door, exuding a dignified and majestic aura all over his body. He was wearing soft armor, young, handsome, and stern.

A woman came out from inside, crying half-cryingly: "Master, the neighbors here are watching, if you don't tell them the truth, what will my daughter do in the future!"

This is Mrs. Li.

That noble man in soft armor is naturally Chu Xinyuan.

He frowned a little impatiently. He came to handle the case himself because he heard that the bounty hunter Herring might have appeared, because early in the morning, a woman rushed to report to the police in a panic, saying that she had killed Yuan's family. The murderer is at her home.

Taking people to watch the scene, Xu Baoer, the woman who reported to the official, told what happened last night upside down. Chu Xinyuan heard that the bounty hunter Herring caught Deng Dai, but then another very powerful person came, and then Both were gone.

He glanced at the ditch in the courtyard, it was left by a master with deep inner strength.

He stood in front of the ditch for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that if it was him, he would have no chance of winning in the face of that master.The bounty hunter Herring fought against him before, but Herring's martial arts were not as good as his.

So bounty hunter Herring is in trouble?

He lowered his eyebrows, so what if he was in trouble?Apart from the 5000 taels owed to him that have not been repaid, the two of them are just strangers.

Although Xu Bao'er ran to report to the police as soon as she woke up, but when she returned to her yard again, she was so frightened that she seemed a little demented.

Mrs. Li didn't know at first, and she didn't know what happened last night, she slept soundly.After Xu Bao'er finished talking intermittently, incoherently, and confusedly, she realized that her daughter almost died last night.It was all because she was greedy for petty gains and took Deng Dai's carriage.

Chu Xinyuan ignored Mrs. Xu, but the head of the Wang family had already said sharply: "Old woman of the Xu family, my Wang family has a clean family style, and your daughter did such a shameless thing. Don't blame my Wang family for being merciless!"

Mrs. Li was shocked: "Dear family, how can you spitting blood, my daughter is innocent, why did she do something shameless? You said that, ruining my family's reputation, this is forcing her to die!"

The Patriarch of the Wang family snorted heavily: "Old woman of the Xu family, it's such a time now, it's useless to talk too much. Your daughter has corrupted the family style and must sink into the pond!"

Chu Xinyuan, who had been silent all this time, glanced at the Patriarch of the Wang family lightly.

He didn't want to respond to Mrs. Li before, it was his majestic prince, how much he disdained to participate in the petty entanglements of ordinary people, and he didn't think it was a big deal, asking him, a prince, to explain the purpose of coming today to all the people?

Does that need an explanation?

Duty, take the thief!
However, Mrs. Li mentioned the word Mingjie.

The head of the Wang family said that he would sink the woman who reported to the official.

When the bounty hunter Herring encounters a strong enemy and may lose the enemy, what he does is not to run away first, but to knock the woman unconscious before running away.

If the woman was alive and awake at that time, the powerful existence that made herring run away, as long as she flicked her fingers casually, she would die beyond death.

Half of the reason why Herring saved the woman was to make her report to the police, but the most important thing was to save her life!
The Patriarch of the Wang family brought people to sink this woman into the pool?
His cold eyes made the words of the Patriarch of the Wang family stagnate, Chu Xinyuan raised his voice, and said coldly: "Ms. Xu heard the voice of the murderer of the Yuan family, and if the real murderer is arrested, he can receive a reward of 50 taels of silver from the government!"

Those surrounding the audience were very surprised!

This man with a broken leg was indeed the real murderer, but he was not Xu's adulterer, but was arrested because Xu heard his voice?

Although there are still many doubts about why the vicious murderer broke his leg and appeared in Mrs. Xu's yard, but they all believed that Xu Bao'er must be pale.

Because that high-ranking official who looked so dignified and wore soft armor wouldn't lie for an ordinary woman.

The head of the Xu family was also very surprised.

When he heard the news, he hurried over, thinking that things were not what he thought?
Chu Xinyuan ignored the people present, and ordered the dying Deng Dai to be taken away, and Gyeonggi Guard also quickly closed his team and left.

The next day, Prince Liang's Mansion welcomed a special guest.

When this guest appeared in Prince Liang's mansion, he was sincere and fearful, very polite and cautious.

However, Yue Xi personally brought this person to the hall, had someone serve him tea, and invited his master to come.

Chu Xinyuan is taking a rest today, and he is dealing with some things in the study.

Yue Xihui reported: "Master, Qi Chen, head of the Civil Affairs Commissioner, please see me!"

Chu Xinyuan frowned, and said lightly: "Is there any reason why this king must see him?"

A small civil affairs envoy who doesn't have any contact with each other on weekdays, just ask to see him?
The corner of Yue Xi's mouth twitched, and he said, "Qi Chen said that he came here for the prince's wedding!"

Chu Xinyuan said coldly: "Bold! Is it his turn to make decisions about this king's marriage?" The civil affairs envoy does have the function of an official matchmaker, but he has already married the princess. Besides, he is the king of Liang. Even if you just marry a side concubine, it won't be the turn of the official media from the Civil Affairs Commissioner to come to your door, right?

What's more, he has no intention of marrying a side concubine at all!

He...he is not interested in women now!

Yue Xi said: "The subordinate sent him away."

Chu Xinyuan waved his hand, and when Yue Xi walked to the door, he suddenly asked, "Qi Chen is now in charge of the Civil Affairs Commissioner, right?"

"Correct!"

Chu Xinyuan felt something was wrong.

The civil affairs envoy is in charge of the entire civil affairs envoy, and the official media is only a part. They have always been indifferent. Today, they took the initiative to come to the palace, either because of important matters, or because of important people.

He said: "Wait, I'm going to go!"

In the hall, Qi Chen held a cup, but didn't drink tea.

He is a small civil affairs envoy, and he is only a seventh-rank official. This is Prince Liang's Mansion, not to mention that Prince Liang is the prince, even the commander of the Gyeonggi Guards is also a second-rank official, who is higher than him by how many ranks. .

He didn't even dare to sit down, he only dared to drop half of his butt on the chair.

Hearing footsteps outside, he hurriedly put down his teacup and stood up.

Chu Xinyuan, who was dressed in dark brocade, came striding forward. He had no expression on his handsome face, but he had the demeanor of being in a high position, and he was truly majestic without anger.

Qi Chen hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hands: "His Royal Highness Liang Wang, I'm polite!"

Chu Xinyuan cut straight to the point: "Master Qi, what's the matter here at the palace?"

Qi Chen was a little dazed. Just now he saw His Highness King Liang came without any delay. He thought His Highness was eager to know the result. Why is His Highness asking him what's the matter now?

He went there himself, of course he came to report the result to the prince.

Thinking about it, he couldn't ask, and he still respectfully said: "The documents sent by His Highness the day before yesterday have already come to fruition, and I'm here to send the receipt!"

Chu Xinyuan's eyes moved, and he asked, "What document? What receipt?"

Yue Xi was also at a loss, where did the master send anything to the civil affairs envoy?
Qi Chen: "..."

Your Highness, are you pretending to be stupid?
He resigned to his fate and explained in detail: "It is the letter of divorce from His Highness who sent someone the day before yesterday to abandon the princess!"

Chu Xinyuan was displeased, and frowned, "When did the king send someone to send you a divorce letter?" He had never written a divorce letter, and he had no plans to divorce Mu Qingyu at all.

In the past, he was worried about being forced to marry, but at that time he had just returned to Beijing and was about to step into the court. At that time, the woman who abandoned the old man's sacred order and forced him to marry would be suppressed by the old man for a reason.

Under the reminder of Nanny Ning, after he judged the situation, in order to gain a firm foothold in the court, he even endured the idea of ​​divorcing his wife.

After he became the commander of Gyeonggi Guards, although divorcing his wife has no major impact, he has never thought about it.

Because later on, he gradually discovered that he didn't hate Mu Qingyu that much. Moreover, Mu Qingyu was very witty, and neither pestered him nor used his identity as a princess to mess around outside.

Even now, he still thinks, Mu Qingyu has lived outside for so long, it's time to find a way to get her to move back to the princess.

He has no such plan at all, why would he send some divorce letter?
Qi Chen was shocked and said, "Your Highness, the document was delivered by your personal guard in the palace!"

A dangerous light flashed in Chu Xinyuan's eyes: "Which personal guard?"

Qi Chen thought for a while and said, "It's Guard Cao!"

"Call Cao Bei!"

Yuexi hurried to go.

After a while, Cao Bei came.

Cao Bei didn't know why he was called here, but the prince's complexion was not good, he said cautiously: "Master!"

"The day before yesterday, did you send something to the Civil Affairs Commissioner?"

Cao Bei thought for a while and said, "Yes!"

"This king asked you to send it?"

Cao Bei hurriedly said, "No."

"Then what did you send?"

The prince seemed to be on the verge of fury, Cao Bei didn't dare to neglect, and said, "Didn't the master ask my subordinates to send Mu Zhai a piece of snacks that just came out of the Feiyu Building the day before yesterday? When the subordinates bought the dim sum, they sent them to Mu Zhai, and then , The princess asked the subordinates to send a document to the civil affairs envoy by the way."

Yue Xi hates iron but not steel: "Didn't you read what kind of document that is?"

Cao Bei didn't understand, so: "It's very thin, it seems to be just a piece of paper. Besides, the princess has sealed it up, and she doesn't mean to show it to the subordinates, so the subordinates dare not read it!"

Yuexi: "..."

He watched Chu Xinyuan's expression carefully, and felt that Cao Bei might not be saved.

Qi Chen was shocked when he heard it, the prince denied that he sent someone to send the divorce letter, but now it sounds like the princess sent someone to send it?
Chu Xinyuan said calmly to Qi Chen who was in a state of shock: "Master Qi heard that the thing was not sent by me, so I will take it back to me as it is, and take the receipt or something with you!"

Qi Chen secretly groaned in his heart, and had to explain to Chu Xinyuan how their civil affairs envoy treated the prince's letter of divorce: "Your Highness, I'm afraid this is no longer possible. The letter of divorce is sent to the civil affairs envoy, because your highness is a prince, and his status Honorable, the civil affairs envoy dare not be negligent, and has no right to dispose of it. After the verification is correct, it will be sent to the Department of Internal Affairs. The company is sealed!"

Chu Xinyuan was in a very upset mood: "This king has not written a divorce letter, how did you check it?" And the check is correct?

Sweat rolled down Qi Chen's forehead, and he was also very wronged. He obviously followed the formal procedure: "After verification, it is indeed the prince's handwriting that is correct!"

His handwriting?

Is there anyone imitating his words?

Even if the writing can be imitated...he said coldly: "Just checked the handwriting? Why didn't you send someone to ask me?"

Qi Chen: "..."

The personal guards of your prince's mansion sent the things in person, and the prince's handwriting is also in your handwriting. If you send someone to ask you again, wouldn't it be superfluous?
Is the prince going to turn his back on him?
Even they had heard about Rizhaoxuan's incident, and they all thought it was absolutely the master's original intention, so why are there so many detours in the middle?
