The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 181

"So the two officials didn't know how to deal with it, so they went into the palace to ask His Majesty and the prince for instructions. Then Zhao Lu, should he be arrested or not? If he wants to be arrested, the Marquis of Yongping will not let go easily. Wake up, trouble again."

This is what He Li and Lu Shengming are worried about. If they are the sons of other small officials, they will be arrested. They have nothing to fear, but Yongping Hou relies on Rong Guogong, and Rong Guogong and Ning Guogong are in the same spirit. , If it affects the whole body, maybe they will think that this is a game set up by His Majesty and the prince, and want to take them into action.

Xiao Yu understood as soon as he turned his head, and nodded with a light smile, "The emperor's crime is also the same as that of the common people, let alone the prince of the mere Marquis's Mansion?"

She stood up and stroked her sleeve: "You can see clearly, who is sitting on the high hall?"

Lu Shengming and He Li raised their eyes at the same time, and met Jun Rong's firm and fearless gaze.

Their hearts trembled, and they instantly understood Xiao Yu's meaning, they bent down and kowtowed, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live——"

Across them, Jun Rong looked at Xiao Yu who was standing at the back, Xiao Yu cupped his hands and said, "I'm afraid there may be something wrong with this matter, I ask you to supervise this case and take someone to the Hou's mansion for a walk." trip."

Jun Rong pursed her lips, nodded and said: "I agree, I have to thank you, Master."

"My minister retire."

Xiao Yu glanced at the two people on the ground: "You two adults, let's go together."

"Yes."

……

Yongping Hou's Mansion is located in the south of the city, and the location is good, but the mansion is a bit small, and it is close to the Rongguo Mansion.

It takes less than a quarter of an hour to get there by carriage.

At this time, the door of the Hou Mansion opened, and there was a lot of joy and laughter inside.

Xiao Yu stood at the door and glanced curiously, "What is this for?"

He Li cupped his hands and said, "It is said that a matchmaker came to the door today to match the third young master."

"A matchmaker?"

Xiao Yu hooked his lips, "You really have a big heart."

She raised her hand and pressed her palm down: "Surround the Hou's mansion, Han Yi will bring someone in with me, and we will personally invite the third son to Jingzhao Mansion for a talk."

"Yes."

Han Yi turned to look at the person looking for the driver, "You guys surround this place, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, and the rest follow me."

Lu Shengming and He Li followed closely behind Xiao Yu. As soon as they got up the steps, a servant came out from the porter's room. They were taken aback when they saw Xiao Yu: "You are—"

Xiao Yu stood with his hands behind his back, "I am here to investigate the case."

"Wang, lord?"

"Bold! How can you be rude when you see the prince? What are you doing here?"

He Li yelled, and the boy knelt down tremblingly in fright, "I have seen the prince, please greet the prince—"

"Excuse me, take me to find the third son of your family."

"Yes……"

The boy led the way in a daze, full of doubts but dared not ask.

Xiao Yu and the others followed behind and entered the Hou Mansion.

As soon as he stepped over the threshold of the front yard, he saw many people standing in the yard, the most striking one was a woman in an emerald green double skirt and a pink silk flower on her head.

Since Xiao Yu came in, I didn't hear other people's voices, only listened to this person's constant babbling, saying that the girl's skin is as creamy, her appearance is like a fairy, her temperament is even more gentle and respectful, she is the best candidate to be the mistress.

It's such a hype, even a woman like her was moved when she heard it.

Xiao Yu was not in a hurry to interrupt her, he stood at the door and listened for a while, feeling quite fresh.

However, even if she remained silent, it was still obvious that a large group of people were standing there.

The first to spot Xiao Yu was Zhao Lu who was facing them and his father Yongpinghou Zhao Jinghuai.

Zhao Jinghuai originally had a smile on his face, but when he saw Xiao Yu, his face immediately changed. He hurriedly pushed away the chattering matchmaker, and quickly went up to him: "What wind brought the prince here? The prince came to the humble house, what can I teach you?" ?”

Xiao Yu stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm: "I don't dare to be a teacher, but I need to ask the third son for some clarification, and I invite the third son and this king to go."

Zhao Lunian was nineteen years old, and his appearance was fair and clean. His pair of phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and he looked quite shrewd.

Hearing Xiao Yu named his name, he walked over, cupped his hands to Xiao Yu and said, "I've seen the Regent."

When he spoke, he was slow, with a bookish air, and it really seemed like that.

"I don't know why the lord is looking for children? He also brought Mr. Lu and Mr. He..."

Zhao Jinghuai's eyes fell on Han Yi behind him, and he paused: "This is the Zuo envoy of the Xun Ji Si, right? What's the meaning of this, my lord?"

Zhao Jinghuai's face darkened, Xiao Yu didn't go around in circles with him, and said directly: "Yesterday, a dead body was found in the alley of Yunlai Pavilion, and the dagger stuck in the body, after investigation, belonged to the third son. The young master is related to this case, so he personally invited the third young master to visit Jingzhao Mansion, what objection does Hou Ye have?"

Yongpinghou frowned, and looked suspiciously at Zhao Lu who was beside him. Zhao Lu clenched his hands slightly, and his lips were tightly pursed, which was obviously a nervous reaction.

Now Xiao Yu knew without torture, Zhao Lu probably couldn't get away with it.

"Lu'er, do you understand what the prince said? Did you go to Yunlai Pavilion yesterday?"

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows: "Master Hou, I didn't come to listen to the confrontation between your father and son. Whether you went or not is obvious to everyone. It's stupid to lie about this, don't you think? Third son?"

Zhao Lu's jaw was tense, and it took him a while to say: "I did pass by there yesterday—"

"Okay, then let's go with the king. When the investigation is clear, if the third son is innocent, the king will release him. If he is guilty, I can only trouble Lord Hou to go to the prison to see the third son, and leave."

Zhao Jinghuai still wanted to say something, but Han Yi stepped forward to block him, and Zhao Jinghuai immediately shut up.

He watched Xiao Yu take people away with his eyes helplessly, his face was so gloomy that water was about to drip, the people in the yard were confused by this sudden change, you looked at me, I looked at you, not knowing why.

Zhao Jinghuai turned his head and glanced at them warningly: "What should be said and what should not be said, you know in your heart, it is not appropriate to talk about marriage today, go back."

When the matchmaker met his cold gaze, her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly led her people away in despair.

Zhao Jinghuai stood on the spot and pondered for a moment, then strode towards the backyard. He still had to find a way to communicate with Rong Guogong about this matter.

……

Mrs. Sun was sitting in front of the vanity mirror picking out jewelry, "Shaoyao, do you think this emerald and silver silk hairpin is more beautiful, or this gold-plated swing?"

Shao Yao smiled and said: "Madam is beautiful, so naturally she looks good with anything she wears. According to my servant, this gilt step is more suitable for Madam's skirt."

"As long as you have a sweet mouth, then - just wear this, and plug it in for me."

"okay."

Shao Yao took it and inserted it obliquely into her hair. Sun immediately looked around at the bronze mirror, pursed her lips in satisfaction, "It's so beautiful."
