Chapter 332 The Xiao Family's Crisis

Su Jiu rushed over immediately.

The beaded curtain in the pavilion was rolled up high, and the little maid who was carrying the tea fell to the ground with a pale face, pointing at the curtain, speechless.

Inside the curtain, a servant girl was lying in a pool of blood, already out of breath.

Xiao Huiran was holding a bloody knife and fainted beside her.

In this situation, it looks like Xiao Huiran killed that maidservant.

The prince, Lu Jiaoyi and others finally arrived, Lu Jiaoyi turned pale, and hid directly in Yuan Xu's arms, "Brother prince!"

Yuan Xu looked ugly, "Which family is this woman from?"

Immediately someone reported: "His Royal Highness, she is the girl from the second bedroom of Xiao's residence, her name is Xiao Huiran."

Yuan Xu lifted his robe and sat down, "What a Xiao family, raising such a daughter, could it be that they want to assassinate me?!"

Xiao Mansion...

Su Jiu clenched his hands quietly, but heard Lu Jiaoyi deliberately reminded: "Brother Prince, the servant girl who was killed belonged to Sister Hua, if she knew, she would definitely be angry!"

Huayueji is probably very important to the crown prince, his brows immediately frowned, "Come here, send Xiao Huiran to prison, and choose a date for trial!"

Before the guards stepped forward, the sound of military boots suddenly sounded.

The crowd moved out of the way, Su Jiu looked over, and it was Xiao Tingxiu who came in.

Xiao Tingxiu's face was stern, he glanced at the miserable situation in his eyeballs, and bowed his hands to Yuan Xu indifferently, "I'm not good at escorting the prince, and I hope to forgive the crime. Although my sister Xiao Huiran is stubborn, she can never kill someone. There may be There are other secrets, Your Highness, please allow me to thoroughly investigate this case."

Su Jiu knew that the prince's safety in the south of the Yangtze River was entirely in the responsibility of the eldest brother and Xu Jishui.

If such a big incident happened, if it was not carefully examined, Xiao Huiran's death would be trivial, but the Xiao family's involvement would be serious.

but……

Lu Jiaoyi sneered, "Lord Xiao just wanted to exonerate Xiao Huiran with red lips and white teeth. How could there be such a good thing in the world?! The crown prince stayed in the Xu Mansion, and everyone was searched before coming in. Xiao Huiran was able to bring a knife into the mansion , you must have omitted it on purpose, so that she could do whatever she wanted in Xu's residence, and even assassinate—"

"Jiaojiao!"

Yuan Xu suddenly stopped her.

He stood up, patted Xiao Tingxiu on the shoulder with a gentle smile, "I never suspect things without evidence. Tingxiu has been in the Songzhou Mansion for many years, and I heard that many major cases have been solved. I have always respected you very much." .”

Xiao Tingxiu was expressionless, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your trust, Prince."

Yuan Xu smiled again, and changed the topic, "It's just that your sister is involved in this case. To avoid suspicion, I think it's better for you not to touch this case. In addition, there are many things in the yamen, so you don't have to escort me around anymore. Go back and do your job. Tingxiu, I am thinking of you and the reputation of the Xiao family."

Xiao Tingxiu lowered his eyes and was forced to respond.

Yuan Xu handed over the assassination case to Xu Jishui.

Coming out of the pavilion, Xu Jishui smiled with his hands behind his back, "Old Xiao, you and I have been fighting in Jinling City for so many years, you said where should I investigate this case? Should I investigate it on your Xiao family?"

Just as he was talking, a servant girl hurried over, out of breath: "Mr. Xu, our girl, our girl..."

The direction she pointed was Lingshuilou where Huayueji lived.

Xu Jishui frowned, and immediately swept away.

The maid stroked her heart and followed her panting.

Su Jiu looked at Xiao Tingxiu, "Brother, what should we do now?"

The man is silent.

Not long after, there was a sudden commotion at Lingshui Tower.

Zhou Baojin, who ran to watch the excitement, came back and opened his eyes wide, "Wow, Susu, you don't know, Xu Jishui, Xu Jishui actually broke into Huayueji's boudoir! Huayueji was changing clothes, so he was so angry that he beat him out The crown prince was furious, and told Xu Jishui to take the soldiers and horses of the government office to get out of here quickly, and he was not allowed to appear again!"

She was just watching the fun.

Su Jiu's heart skipped a beat. Brother Da Tang and Xu Jishui were both kicked out of the Xu Mansion, so who will be responsible for the prince's safety?
She looked at Xiao Tingxiu, her cousin probably thought about it with her, his brows were furrowed, his face was very ugly.

After a long time, he asked Zhou Baojin, "Who is in charge of the prince's safety and solving the murder case now?"

Zhou Baojin checked his fingers and said shyly, "It's my brother, Zhou Fengxian..."

Su Jiu supported his forehead.

Everyone knows the name of Zhou Fengxian in Jinling City.

There is him who steals chickens and dogs, and he goes to flower houses to flirt with good women. Although he is indeed righteous, but...

He is indeed a straw bag in a straw bag.

Instead of asking him to be in charge of safety and to solve the murder case, it would be more reliable for the prince to ask the wolfhound in the yamen to do it.

Anyway, wolf dogs have also been trained, right?
"Susu..." Zhou Baojin tugged at Su Jiu's sleeve again with a weeping face, "My brother is impossible to investigate the case, and it is impossible in this life not to find out the ugly Yinmao, I am afraid that you will My sister has to die unjustly in the prison."

.

Hint: Lu Jiaoyi is not the murderer.
