The cousin girl plays the role of silly and sweet every day

Chapter 4: Capturing Jiang Wenyu

Jiang Wenyu's expression fluctuated only momentarily, and soon returned to normal.

She murmured: "Thank you, brother..."

Xie Zhiwei looked forward and said in a low voice: "Don't worry."

Jiang Wenyu said softly, "Yes."

Even she herself couldn't tell the authenticity of the handwriting on the prescription.

Even if Jiang Wenyu told Xie Zhiwei the truth, even if he really wanted to help her...

In the face of human and physical evidence, even if he believed that she would not commit murder, there was no guarantee that he would not think that she accidentally prescribed the medicine and killed Lin Qu.

Everywhere is a death.

Jiang Wenyu would not tell Xie Zhiwei truthfully.

She can only use other methods to achieve her goal.

……

Inside Yuxiang Tower.

"East Palace arrests the felon Jiang Wenyu, those who are idle should stay away!"

The sound was as loud as a bell.

Everyone in the capital knew that Yuxiang Tower was the site of the battle between the Crown Prince and the Jin Yiwei. Ordinary officials would not dare to come here to arrest criminals, so the person who came was the current Crown Prince Li Zhaoyi.

Li Zhaoyi and others, one of the middle-aged ladies stared at Jiang Wenyu next to Xie Zhiwei and pointed:

"Your Highness, that is Miss Jiang Wenyu. She was the one who prescribed the medicine for our master! Our master died!"

Jiang Wenyu recognized that this was the nanny from Lin Qu's house.

She grabbed the sleeve of Xie Zhiwei's arm, hid nervously behind him, and whispered: "Brother Xie, what happened...? It feels so scary."

Li Zhaoyi strode closer.

Xie Zhiwei saluted him: "I, Xie Zhiwei, have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

Jiang Wenyu timidly saluted: "The daughter of the common people has met His Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Zhaoyi looked at her coldly. He had been to the Su Mansion and had met this cousin a few times. He hadn't taken a close look at her before, but now he saw that she was inexplicably beautiful.

If the shoulders are shaved, the skin is as white as frost, and the waist is plain, the make-up that needs to be removed will highlight the superior bones.

The only flaw is that those eyes are full of timidity.

No matter how good-looking he is, he will never be as good as his savior Su Qianqian.

He is a kind-hearted person with superb medical skills.

"I wonder why the prince wanted to arrest Jiang Wenyu?"

Xie Zhiwei's words pulled Li Zhaoyi back from his thoughts.

He cleared his throat and said: "He is suspected of murdering Lin Qu, a member of the civil service department."

Xie Zhiwei suddenly remembered what Jiang Wenyu said just now. She visited Lin Mansion today and received the threatening letter again.

Jiang Wenyu's face turned pale, her lowered eyebrows and trembling shoulders made it clear how scared she was at this moment.

"Your Highness, do you have any evidence?" Xie Zhiwei asked.

"The witnesses and physical evidence are complete." Li Zhaoyi appreciated Xie Zhiwei and wanted to draw him into his service, so he slowly said, "The medicine my cousin prescribed is poison. Prescribing poison to a critically ill person is murder."

Li Zhaoyi took out the prescription list, and Xie Zhiwei stepped forward to take it. With just one glance, he could tell whose hand the familiar handwriting was.

——Jiang Wenyu.

Xie Zhiwei's eyes were secretly searching, and he looked deeply at Qingmei next to him.

Jiang Wenyu knew that he was doubting her.

It would be a lie to say that I am not disappointed.

Facing Xie Zhiwei's suspicious gaze, Jiang Wenyu forced out a soft and gentle smile.

Seeing how she was holding on, Xie Zhiwei suddenly felt that he was not a human being.

'I will always protect Brother Xie. '

His childhood sweetheart had always liked him the most, so how could she harm him?

She was pure of heart, so how could she lie to him with a threatening letter?

Xie Zhiwei calmed down, his face remained as usual and his voice was determined:
"Your Highness, a letter cannot be used to convict someone easily. There are still many questions about this case."

Li Zhaoyi: "What do you think, Mr. Xie?"

"I grew up with Jiang Wenyu since childhood. She has no enmity with Lin Qu. I believe she will not kill anyone. If..."

Before Xie Zhiwei finished speaking, he heard a sneer, and then an incoherent voice came from above:
"We have worked together for many years, but I never thought that Mr. Xie is such an emotional person."

Jiang Wenyu stuck his head out and looked upstairs.

Seeing the madman, Xie Zhiwei's face immediately darkened.Tan Shu sat down in the pavilion upstairs and Shen Huai poured him a cup of tea.

He raised the tea cup, raised his chin slightly, looked downstairs at Li Zhaoyi, and asked:

"Prince, would you like to come up and have a cup of tea?"

Li Zhaoyi was stunned for a moment, then politely declined: "No, I have official business today."

Xie Zhiwei continued with a gloomy face: "If Jiang Wenyu really poisoned him, this would be too obvious. Poisoning a prescription he prescribed and then leaving the prescription on the scene afterwards is not the same as telling others that he had poisoned it. Is it herself who is poisoned?"

"Not mentioning that Jiang Wenyu had no reason to kill Lin Qu, but just talking about the prescription issue mentioned by His Highness, everyone in the Lin Mansion and the Medicinal Materials Museum is equally suspected as Jiang Wenyu."

Li Zhaoyi looked surprised after hearing this.

It was the first time I saw this cold-faced and ruthless leader of the Jinyiwei being emotional.

Curious, he glanced at Jiang Wenyu a few more times. The latter blinked, with a confused look on his face, and was extremely well-behaved.

Li Zhaoyi: "..."

Tan Shu made no effort to hide his indifference, raised his eyes slightly, and said, "Since everyone is suspected, we will kill them all."

Jiang Wenyu: "..."

Li Zhaoyi: "..."

Xie Zhiwei's face darkened.

In the entire capital, no one knew that the prince had a reputation as a mad dog, and his actions were always extremely absurd.

The suggestion to kill them all seems fair compared to other ridiculous things.

Kill every suspect equally.

Jiang Wenyu wanted to kick him.

He ruined her plan and even wanted to kill her.

Tan Shu was not careful at all. He glanced over and asked directly: "Prince and Mr. Xie, don't you think it's feasible?"

Li Zhaoyi had some childhood memories of this prince who even the emperor gave him three points, so he decisively passed the blame:

"The prince's suggestion is good, but this case concerns Mr. Xie's relatives."

He looked at Xie Zhiwei and said, "The case will be fully handed over to the Jinyi Guards for investigation and handling. What do you think, Mr. Xie? I believe that Mr. Xie will not show favoritism and cover up the real culprit."

Xie Zhiwei suddenly felt that he had found a job for himself, and he could refuse. After all, he only listened to the emperor.

But he remembered the threatening letter, changed his mind, lowered his head and said, "I accept my order."

"Then let's wait until Sir Xie clears Miss Jiang's name."

Li Zhaoyi felt much more relaxed in an instant, and ran away with a group of people at a fast pace.

Jiang Wenyu looked at Xie Zhiwei and said sadly: "Brother Xie, have I caused trouble for you?"

"Don't think about things that don't happen."

Xie Zhiwei comforted her and reached out to touch her head when he heard the voice of someone upstairs again.

"I have heard before that Mr. Xie has a little green plum, which is astonishingly beautiful. When I saw it today, it turned out to be well-deserved."

The smile on Xie Zhiwei's face quickly cooled, and his eyes flashed with an icy cold light. He retracted his hand and looked up cautiously.

Tan Shu glanced at him lightly, with a cynical smile on his lips: "If I remember correctly, Your Majesty plans to grant Sir Xie a marriage after he returns to the capital from this trip."

Jiang Wenyu was stunned.

Marriage?

Tan Shu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Could it be that Mr. Xie didn't intend to leave the capital and marry the Seventh Princess directly after taking over the murder case?"

Shen Huai was eating melon beside him, very enthusiastic.

It turns out that His Majesty wants the Seventh Princess to marry Xie Zhiwei.

I thought who it was.

It's just pitiful for this little Qingmei, who has been cheated and still has to wait happily for him.

Tan Shu glanced at Jiang Wenyu out of the corner of his eye and gently raised the corners of his lips.

Xie Zhiwei tightened his fingers, a dark light flashed across his eyes quickly, and said indifferently:
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Your Majesty has not granted me a marriage yet, but has only discussed the issue of the next Crown Prince's concubine. I have specifically ordered you to arrange for Prince Luo to marry a concubine during this trip."

Shen Huai glanced at him and held a moment of silence for his determination.

It is impossible to have a royal concubine.

"Prince Concubine, please stop worrying, sir." Tan Shu said meaningfully, turning the teacup in his hand, "After all, Sir Xie can't even protect himself."

The emperor ordered Xie Zhiwei to go out of the capital to do business, and he had to go out today.

And he took over the task of finding the real culprit of the murder case.

One is inside and the other is outside, and he cannot despise either one.
