His Royal Highness the prince is cute

Chapter 176 Follow my brother to investigate the case (9)

When Mu Jingxuan and the others came out, many servants had already gathered in the huge courtyard.

According to the introduction of the soldiers nearby, these were servants who were working in the courtyard at that time. As for those in other courtyards, they were temporarily guarded by soldiers outside.

It means that not everyone is standing right now.

Yun Xi looked left and right, but she didn't see Ruan Feng's figure. Just as she was wondering, someone came out of the room again.

The person who came was none other than the dejected old housekeeper, who seemed to have been kicked out by some grumpy official.

However, after he came out, he walked straight towards a soldier who was scribbling and registering. It seemed that he had been assigned a mission.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the door, and everyone followed suit.

At the gate of the courtyard, a man in blue clothes with a wicked look fell to the ground, and the next moment a young woman with hairpins rushed in from the back of the house. She cried and beat the man on the ground while crying , the scene was once extremely lively.

"Let's go take a look."

A cold voice came from beside her ear, and before Yunxi could open her mouth to reply, she was already being led away to the side.

"what happened?"

When the two approached, the man and woman who made trouble had already been controlled by the soldiers with sharp long knives around their necks.

"Sign up, my lord, this woman said she wanted to report the crime, and she claimed that this man poisoned Mr. Shangguan."

A soldier wearing an official uniform knelt down to answer the question. From the attitude of the prefect just now, it can be seen that this master is not an ordinary person, and they dare not neglect.

"Yes, son, my master was poisoned to death by this bad guy!"

Seeing this, the woman began to cry on the ground again, and the man next to him who was called the murderer heard the words, and began to howl at the top of his throat:
"I am wronged, my lord, it was not the fault of a small person, this crazy woman deliberately framed me!"

"You are talking nonsense, you are the one who poisoned the master to death!"

"You framed me!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, a gust of wind came from nowhere, the two only felt pain in their cheeks, and the next moment their faces were swollen, as if they had just been beaten hard.

They immediately stopped talking, covered their faces in horror and looked around: "Who, who, who did it?"

"Tell me one by one what's going on."

A voice as cold as water came from the top of their heads. The two were startled, and looked up at a handsome face that looked like a fairy. For a moment, they seemed to be shocked by his appearance, and they stared blankly speechless.

They didn't come back to their senses until they were kicked in the back by officers and soldiers, and then the man in blue spoke first:
"I'll say it first, I'll say it first."

He first kowtowed twice on the ground, and seeing no one stopped him, he continued to speak:

"The villain's name is Chen Wu. He is a distant relative of Master Shangguan. He just came from the countryside a few days ago. When he came, he brought a gift for Master..."

Speaking of this, Chen Wu suddenly stopped talking, as if there was something unspeakable, but Mu Jingxuan understood, it seems that the key lies in this gift.

He spoke slowly, his voice was not loud but it made people feel inexplicable pressure:

"what gift?"

"Yes..." Chen Wu gritted his teeth, "It's a colorless and odorless poison. People die immediately after taking this medicine, but the condition of death is the same as death from illness. Even steamed bone examination is the same as death from illness. "

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and they looked at Chen Wu with suspicion and disdain.

Contributing poison to people, this person will never be a good thing.
