The villain heroine just wants to grab the country at the beginning

Chapter 33
The second prince is the son of Concubine Ning, and Concubine Ning is the daughter of General Pingwei, the commander of the Pingwei Army.

After the entire Pingwei army was annihilated, Concubine Ning was depressed and sick. The second prince was not very well received by the emperor. When the entire Pingwei army of his grandfather's family was annihilated, he had no support at all, and even more lost the emperor's support. Doting, can be regarded as the most difficult prince in the court.

Just came back from guarding the imperial mausoleum.

His eyes fell on Lu Jia's face for a long while, until Lu Jia got off the carriage, the second prince was still watching.

Xiao Yan stood beside him and coughed impatiently, "Does Your Highness have something to say?"

The second prince withdrew his gaze, and said to Xiaoyu: "Father summoned Lord Xiao to enter the palace, it should be for hunting for a few days."

Xiao Yan smiled, "When did His Highness even let His Highness go personally to spread the word? Those lazy and slippery servants deserve to be beaten to death."

The second prince said: "I don't blame the little servant for being slippery, this king is willing to come here."

As he said that, the second prince looked over at Lu Jia, his eyes paused on Lu Jia's face for a moment, and he asked Xiao Yan, "Can I ask Mr. Xiao for convenience?"

Xiao Yan immediately realized that the second prince came rushing to Lu Jia, and immediately raised his eyebrows.

The second prince smiled and said: "I have been to Miss Lu's tavern once, and I was lucky enough to have a hand-to-hand game with Miss Lu. I was impressed by Miss Lu's chess skills. Miss Lu was arrested by Master Xiao, I don't know what Miss Lu committed, can I beg for favor for her."

Xiao Yan looked at Lu Jia, then at the second prince.

The second prince has always been aloof, and he has never deliberately tried to win over anyone when talking to the courtiers. He is the only prince in the court who has no party affiliation or personal relationship.

Today, he went to the criminal department to intercede for Lu Jia himself?
Xiao Yan said with a smile: "I'm afraid it won't work, it's not that the lower officials don't give His Highness this face, but that Lu Jia's matter is not trivial, and the lower officials can't do anything about it."

The second prince said: "Then, can Master Xiao reveal a little bit, what is Miss Lu's crime? There must be a reason for arresting people."

For Lu's, Xiao Yan can be too lazy to wait and refuse to talk to him.

But Xiao Yan still gave due respect to this unreliable prince.

"The Qianzhou murder case and the Yuhang murder case that were a hit before, we found witnesses and made a portrait based on the witness's memories of the time. Coincidentally, Lu Jia fits the characters in the portrait very well.

Although it is not possible to conclude that Lu Jia is the murderer based on this, the interrogation should not be missed. Is this the truth, Your Highness? "

Lu Jia's eyelids twitched heavily.

No wonder Xiao Yan would suddenly arrest someone.

Suddenly, Lu Jia remembered that on the first day the tavern opened, Zhao Du said in the tavern: The two murderers were young girls.

Why does Zhao know that the other party is a young girl? It can only be that someone told the Ministry of Punishment this news.

who is it!

Lu Jia and Chun Bao looked at each other, and while quickly thinking about the possible loopholes that existed at that time, Lu Jia said to Xiao Yan in shock: "Master Xiao means that you suspect that I killed someone in Qianzhou?

This is too ridiculous, these days, can someone like me be a murderer that the Ministry of Criminal Justice will catch?If Mr. Xiao has an opinion on me, he can say it directly, why should he charge me with such a crime! "

After finishing speaking in a cold voice, Lu Jia said to the second prince: "We had a hand-to-hand conversation that day, and it was very pleasant to play chess with His Highness, but I have a lot of troubles around me, Your Highness should stay away from me wisely, so as not to be implicated, maybe One day, I will be instructed by His Highness to kill and eliminate dissidents, how capable I am."

After finishing speaking, Lu Jia gave Xiao Yan a vicious look, turned around and walked towards the Ministry of Punishment.

Xiao Yan:.
Who the hell is the prisoner and who is the presiding judge!

You think this is your home, and walk with your head held high!
Closing his gaze, Xiao Yan bowed to the second prince, "Does your Highness have any orders?"

The second prince smiled and said, "Lord Xiao is busy, so I will leave. Oh, yes, Lord Xiao remembers to enter the palace. Father should be waiting for you. Don't delay too much."

As soon as the second prince left, Xiao Yan didn't enter the palace immediately, but went to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice first.

In the dark and damp cell, Lu Jia and Chun Bao were held separately.

Xiao Yan stood at the door of Lu Jia's cell.

Lu Jia sat cross-legged on the haystack where the mice were scurrying around, and said very aggressively, "What orders does Master Xiao have?"

Xiao Yan leaned against the door frame, "Are you familiar with His Highness the Second Prince?"

Lu Jia said: "That's right, I'm very familiar with you. I am the secret guard raised by His Royal Highness the Second Prince. Because of my outstanding appearance, I was specially sent to seduce the eldest son of Xiao, but it is a pity that the eldest son of Xiao seems not interested in women. My mission failed. , was caught by you, are you satisfied?"

"I hope you can still be so sharp-tongued after being tortured soon." Xiao Yan looked at Lu Jia, "Actually, if you can confess, you won't be spared the pain of flesh and blood, and with Lu's weight in Yuhang, you may not be able to You are really condemned to death, why do you insist on eating a set of torture instruments and running water mat?"

Lu Jiaha smiled, "Isn't it because I'm willing to be punished? My living environment has made me perverted since I was a child. I love stimulation to death?"

Xiao Yan:.
Lu Jia rolled his eyes, "Trial if you want, kill if you want to kill, let go if you want to let go, what are you doing talking so much nonsense with me, Shizi, making it seem like you love me very much."

Xiao Yan just smiled: "Okay, then let's see if it's your hard mouth or the torture tools of the Ministry of Punishment."

After saying a word, Xiao Yan turned and left.

The emperor summoned him to the palace for no other purpose, but to inquire about the progress of the Qianzhou murder case.

Coming out of the palace, Xiao Yan went straight back to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice without stopping.

As soon as he entered the interrogation room, he met Zhao Du head-on.

Zhao Du looked solemn, "Are you really going to torture Lu Jia?"

Xiao Yan pulled the chair in the interrogation room away, and sat on it with a big horse and a golden sword. While ordering the servants to bring Lu Jia, he said to Zhao Du: "According to the procedure, is there any problem with torture?"

Zhao Du supported the table with his hands, "There is no problem according to the procedure, but Lu Jia obviously cannot be the murderer, not to mention that the murderer killed the monk and escaped under our noses, the case of Ganzhou alone, the prefect of Qianzhou There are guards guarding the outside of the study, in broad daylight, those guards were all killed with one blow, do you think Lu Jia has this ability?"

Xiao Yan said: "Everything is possible."

"you"

Before Zhao Du finished speaking, the yamen servant brought Lu Jia into the interrogation room.

Zhao Du pulled away the seat next to Xiao Yan and sat side by side with Xiao Yan. He couldn't help asking himself, is such a beautiful girl Xiao Yan a beast?

Xiao Qinshou Yan said: "Are you recruiting yourself?"

Lu Jia stared at him with a straight neck, "I'll punish you."

Xiao Yan remained expressionless, "Go up and punish."
