After the cannon fodder of the Hou Mansion read my voice, he went on a killing spree.

Chapter 24 His Royal Highness is also here

Mingpinzhai Tianzihao Yajian.

The three of them sat around the huanghuali carved wooden table.

Lord Supervisor Wang Xuanzhi and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leisurely sipped the fragrant tea in their hands with calm expressions.

Only the middle-aged man beside him was restless, his face full of anxiety, and he looked in the direction of the door from time to time with anxious eyes.

Wang Xuanzhi was usually the most uncertain, but today, he was unusually calm.

He glanced at the middle-aged man inscrutably.

"I said, why are you in a hurry? I've already invited someone over. They'll be there in a minute."

The man has an upright figure, his hands on his legs, and a solemn expression.

"How could I not be anxious? I am so anxious that the person you recommended can really solve this disappearance case?"

Wang Xuanzhi was still enigmatic: "Don't worry! The person I recommend must be reliable. Don't you believe me? Don't you believe His Highness the Crown Prince? The Emperor ordered us to investigate this case together. If we fail to complete it, we will all be punished!"

"I can't cheat myself and His Highness the Crown Prince!"

The man felt that this sentence made sense. If Wang Xuanzhi dared to trick him, he would never dare to trick the Crown Prince.

Xia Rongyu put down the tea cup appropriately and corrected the mistake in Wang Xuanzhi's words.

"This matter cannot be resolved. It is a matter for the Lord Supervisor and the Ministry of Punishment, and has nothing to do with me."

Middle-aged man: ...

No.

What does this mean?

His heart that had just been relieved suddenly rose again.

The Lord of the Punishment Department stared at Wang Xuanzhi warily.

He has been tricked by this guy too many times, and he will definitely not be fooled this time.

Wang Xuanzhi was stared at speechlessly.

It was rare for him to be kind, but this guy didn't appreciate it, and he was destined to be cheated.

But the mouth naturally has to appease people.

"Lao Xing, I promise you, you will believe me again, just this time."

Xing Zhongqiu was in charge of the Criminal Department and often handed over some strange cases to Qintian Prison, so naturally he had to deal with Wang Xuanzhi.

Although this man is cunning, he keeps his word.

Since he promised, Xing Zhongqiu decided to give Wang Xuanzhi a chance.

"Okay! Then I'll give you another chance. I hope you can be more reliable this time."

As Xing Zhongqiu sat down, the tea room returned to silence.

At this time, the guard's announcement came from the door.

"Your Highness, Miss Qiao is here."

"Come in." Xia Rongyu said, and the guard immediately opened the door and let Qiao Niannian in.

Shiliu was responsible for protecting Qiao Niannian's safety, so after Qiao Niannian entered, she secretly raised her eyes and took a look inside. This sight made her eyes widen in an instant.

What did she see? His Royal Highness was also there?

Oh My God.

When did her young lady have such a good relationship with His Royal Highness?

Pomegranate quickly recovered and put away her thoughts.

She is also a maid who has seen the world, so she cannot act too surprised, otherwise she will be too embarrassed.

She pretended to be calm and stood outside the door, her body straight.

In the elegant room.

Qiao Niannian's eyes lit up when she saw Xia Rongyu was there.

"It turns out His Royal Highness is here too."

Xia Rongyu's expression softened and he asked Qiao Niannian to sit down.

Wang Xuanzhi then poured a cup of tea and handed it to Qiao Niannian, looking attentive. Beside him, Xing Zhongqiu's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. If it weren't for his good upbringing, he would probably just throw away his sleeves and leave.

Fortunately, he thought that the old guy Wang Xuanzhi had really changed. Unexpectedly, a dog couldn't change and ate shit, so he lied to him again.

Xing Zhongqiu almost squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: "Is this the person you said can help us solve the disappearance case?"

Can a ten-year-old girl with a little baby fat solve a disappearance case?

What a liar!

Wang Xuanzhi looked unhappy when he heard this.

"Xing Zhongqiu, what are you talking about! This is Master Qiao. If she can't solve the disappearance case, the two of us should just accept the punishment."

Wang Xuanzhi was also a little angry.

This superficial bastard actually learned to judge people by their appearance.

If he had seen Qiao Niannian break the blood curse, know how to teleport, and understand spells, he would still be shocked!

Xing Zhongqiu looked left and right. Apart from Qiao Niannian being prettier than other girls of the same age, he really didn't see any difference.

Qiao Niannian, on the other hand, was shocked when she heard the name.

In the original work, Xing Zhongqiu is upright and selfless, and does not know how to adapt at all. Because of his personality, he offended many officials.

Eighty percent of the officials in the capital dislike him.

It's interesting to say that the emperor particularly likes people who are hated by officials. No matter how others get into trouble, the emperor will protect him.

But later the emperor died and the third prince succeeded to the throne. The third prince didn't like Xing Zhongqiu's stinky character, so he found fault with him and killed him.

After Xing Zhongqiu's death, Qiao Chaosheng took charge of the Ministry of Punishment, which was managed in a mess, and the people complained.

It may be said that Xing Zhongqiu didn't play many roles in the book, but Qiao Niannian liked him very much.

Now that I see the real person and look at his face, he is indeed a fair and upright person, but there is a black aura between this person's eyebrows, and he must have been exposed to evil things recently.

Qiao Niannian said aloud: "Mr. Xing, have you been having nightmares recently? You are always awakened at night. When you wake up, you feel like you are in a fog, and you can still hear women's shouts in your ears."

Xing Zhongqiu's originally impatient expression suddenly stopped after hearing these words. He raised his head and his sharp eyes fell on Qiao Niannian.

"how do you know?"

Qiao Niannian didn't panic at all: "Mr.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Xia Rongyu who was standing aside: "Prince, can I lend you the amulet?"

Xia Rongyu took out the amulet without hesitation. Qiao Niannian pinched the amulet and hit Xing Zhongqiu between his eyebrows.

Xing Zhongqiu was startled and avoided subconsciously, but at that moment, his body seemed to be frozen. The next moment, the amulet fell on his chest, and the three scales originally placed on his chest flew out with a "swish" sound.

Qiao Niannian waved her finger, and the spiritual power wrapped up the scales. She gently pulled it, and the scales fell into Qiao Niannian's hands.

The amulet on Xing Zhongqiu's body turned into powder and disappeared. Xing Zhongqiu only felt relaxed.

"This……"

He was shocked and speechless.

Since accepting this case, he has only felt physically tired. Coupled with being awakened by nightmares every night, his whole body is even more weak.

He thought it was because of tiredness, but he didn't expect that it was the scales that were causing the problem.

Xing Zhongqiu looked at Qiao Niannian with a slightly respectful tone.

"Miss Qiao, I have offended you just now, please forgive me."

Qiao Niannian waved her hand: "It's okay, but the three girls who were taken away by this evil thing are in trouble."

Xing Zhongqiu looked in admiration.

If she had named the three girls when they first met Qiao Niannian, he would only suspect that Wang Xuanzhi told Qiao Niannian the news.

After all, he blocked the news immediately after receiving the case.

All those with knowledge of the incident have been arrested.

Otherwise, if the news about this evil thing spreads, it may cause panic.

But just now Qiao Niannian accurately stated his problem, forced the evil object to come out, and also accurately said that the three girls were captured by the evil object.

Xing Zhongqiu was completely convinced now.

"Miss Qiao is right. Three girls did disappear, and before each girl disappeared, she would leave a scale behind. Can Miss Qiao tell what kind of evil thing left behind these scales?"
