The Crown Prince is Actually a Princess!

Chapter 78: : Intimidation and inducement

After Murong Ci heard the words, he was shocked and furious, and his teeth tickled with hatred: This man is too bad and evil, how can he play tricks like this?

Since last night, he has been playing around with her, otherwise why have to spend the night in the countryside?

The sincere and heartwarming words he said just now must have been sweet words made up just to deceive her and play him!

He has been doing a show!

Murong Yu's thin lips were pursed with a hint of joy. Seeing her humming and pretty appearance, she felt that she was in a very beautiful mood and the surrounding scenery was very beautiful.

Seeing that His Highness seemed to be very angry, Qin Ruo ran over eagerly and excitedly, "His Royal Highness, are you okay."

Murongci shook his head and whispered: "Go back and talk about it."

Missing a horse, she and Qin Ruo rode together and ran towards the capital.

Passing through the city gate, Murong Yu looked at His Royal Highness Qi Juechen, his thin lips curled up in an elegant and perfect arc.

In the next few days, Murong's resignation stared at the weapon monitor and the tunnel exit, but there was no movement.

Wan Fang and Wang Tao are really cunning old foxes, knowing that they had been found out about selling weapons, and they have stayed still these days.

Rong Zhan received no news every day, and she waited impatiently.

That day, he went out of the city to do business, and did not return to the city until midnight, only then did he know that the owner had left a message.

When he hurried to the military inspector, the military inspector had recovered his calm. He hid in the dark and watched for a while before sneaking in. After hearing a few guards talk about the previous assassins, he knew that the assassin had left safely.

In the past few days, he sent people to stare at the military inspector day and night, hoping to find out who colluded with the military inspector as soon as possible.

Qin Ruo flipped through the account books and thought: "The minion thinks that the military inspector will destroy those account books."

"It's okay to ruin. My palace feels that you have to take out a thread to grab a lot."

Murongci's eyes lit up and he raised his eyebrows and sneered slyly.

Ruyi smiled and asked: "His Royal Highness has thought of a good way?"

Murongci smiled secretly, "Qin Ruo, send a message to Rong Zhan."

Qin Ruo responded briskly and took the order to do the business.

The next day, Murongci and Qin Ruo came to the bamboo building northwest of Shu Yuxuan.

The phoenix tail is dense, full of greenery, a little bit cold, and a little quiet.

In the elegant room on the second floor, Qin Ruo pushed open the bamboo door, and the middle-aged man inside stood up suddenly, his eyes full of fear, when he saw the person coming, he was extremely shocked.

After a moment of horror, he woke up, tremblingly bowed and saluted, "The lower official pays homage to His Royal Highness."

Murongci sat down leisurely, Qin Ruo poured two cups of tea, and smiled: "Sit down, Mr. Xu."

"I don't dare to subordinate."

The bamboo building is shady and cool, which cuts off the heat outside, but Mr. Xu is in a cold sweat, and there is sparkle in his mind, and he doesn't know how to deal with it.

How could His Royal Highness want to see him?

Early this morning, he was about to go out to the military inspector. A boy of about ten years old sent a letter. The letter simply wrote two lines-someone wants to see him. If he doesn't come to see him, he has done it. The crime of committing a crime will be made public.

He hesitated for a cup of tea before he decided to say that he would not go to the military guard, and came to see this mysterious man.

Unexpectedly, it was His Royal Highness.

"My palace remembers that you are the head of the military accounting office." Murong smiled like a wind, and looked very good.

"It's just an official." Mr. Xu bowed his head cautiously, clasped his hands in front of him, and his Royal Highness summoned him to come here, it must be for the military supervisor.

"Master Xu, if my palace remembers correctly, you have parents at the top and children at the bottom. Let the whole family live by pointing to your salary." Murong Ciqing smiled coldly.

"His Royal Highness said that it is all on the lower official to support the family."

"My palace heard that you moved to a new house a month ago. Although the new house is not as luxurious as the high-end house, it is much more comfortable than your previous five earthen houses. However, your share is meager. Your salary, how can you afford that new house?"

"This... Your Royal Highness does not know that the house where the Xiaguan lived before is leaking, and it is really impossible to live... Xiaguan had to gritted his teeth with relatives, friends and colleagues and borrowed silver to buy an old house to make his parents feel more comfortable." Mr. Xu stammered and explained that the panic caused him to flicker and look uncertain, and he knew at first glance that he was not telling the truth.

"Master Xu, you are so brave!" Murongci suddenly yelled, "Are you still guilty?"

His body shook violently, and he humbled and said tremblingly: "The officer doesn't know what crime he has committed. Please also express his highness."

She stared at him fiercely, as if she wanted him to be too late, "You sell weapons privately, it is a heinous crime! My palace has obtained the account books and sent them to the study room. The royal king will surely punish you and punish the three clans. !"

With a bang, Master Xu knelt down heavily, and said griefly: "His Royal Highness, the next officer did not sell weapons privately... Your Royal Highness is aware of..."

Murong Ci casually drank tea, Qin Ruo sneered, "Master Xu, if you don't sell weapons, how can you have so much money to buy a house? Although the house is small and relatively old, it must be at least a few hundred taels larger. Where are you? How many hundred taels came? It’s not easy to borrow a few hundred taels these years. If you don’t tell the truth, tomorrow the decree of the three tribes will be issued. You want your parents to live a good life, but in the end they will be implicated. Dead souls under the knife."

He was anxious and frightened, and gritted his teeth to confess: "His Royal Highness, the junior officer really didn't sell weapons privately, it's someone else..."

"Who is it?" Murong asked unhurriedly. The principal Xu was loyal and timid. Although he was a tiger with Wan Fang and Wang Tao, she was very filial and caring for her family. She decided to use him as a breakthrough point. .

"It's... Lord Wan and Lord Wang." Master Xu knew that if he kept concealing it, it was his elderly parents who were suffering. What they mean to do, they will kill the whole family of Xiaguan..."

"This palace gives you a chance to atone for your sins, and copy a copy of the account book of the private sale of weapons to this palace."

"They will find out... Your Royal Highness, the subordinates don't want to die..."

"Don't you just be careful?"

"……Yes."

"They sell weapons privately and commit crimes. Sooner or later, they will not be able to contain the fire, but they are more cruel than you. Maybe they put all the blame on you and want you to be a ghost. So you have only one choice. Palace, this palace will save your life when you are held accountable in the future." Murong Ci said coldly.

"Yes, Your Highness Xie." Mr. Xu has long known that Wan Fang and Wang Tao are unreliable, and perhaps His Highness Prince Xu can save his life and his family.

"My palace asks you, who is the one who contacted Wanfang and Wang Tao to buy weapons?"

"Master Wan and Master Wang have always been mysterious, and such an important matter will not be told to the next official."

"Then what's unusual about the military inspector recently?"

"Except for the killing of Chief Zhou, the next official can't remember it for a while."

"You should copy those real account books to this palace as soon as possible."

Murongci signaled Qin Ruo to take him away, and Mr. Xu walked to the door and suddenly said: "His Royal Highness, the next official remembered that Lord Wan and Lord Wang like jade, so go to Linglongxuan to see jade if you have time."

Qin Ruo sent him out and came back, "His Royal Highness, Linglongxuan does sell jade, and the jadeware there is the most expensive in the Imperial Capital."

Murongci held the small celadon cup, thoughtfully, "Let Rong Zhan check Linglongxuan."

Qin Ruo took the order and went to work on his own.

Not long after, Murongci and Qin Ruo came out of Shu Yuxuan and got on the carriage back to the East Palace.

As they passed the busy street, they heard pedestrians on the carriage saying that a Yuanwailang had died. The carriage stopped, and Qin Ruo got out of the car and asked which member Wailang had died. The other party said that it seemed to be the banker, member of the engineering department, Wailang.

At this time, Murongci saw Shen Zhiyan riding a horse hurried past, followed by two Dali Temple officials.

"Qin Ruo, come up soon," she yelled, and then told the coachman, "Follow Master Shen."

"Good." The coachman immediately turned the carriage.

Qin Ruo leaped up quickly and got into the carriage, "His Royal Highness, Langzhuang Qin, a member of the Engineering Department, is dead."

Murongci thought about it: "Zhiyan should rush to the dealer to handle the case."

Qin Ruo asked, "His Royal Highness will also follow suit to handle the case?"

Murong Ci smiled and said, "It's okay to go and have a look, it's nothing today anyway."

The dealer's house is small, in a secluded alley. At this time, many people were onlookers at the entrance of the alley, and the carriage could not get in at all.

The coachman had to park the carriage on the side of the street, and Murongci and Qin Ruo walked quickly into the alley after getting out of the car.

Shen Zhiyan had entered the door, and Murongci rushed to catch up, "Zhiyan...Zhiyan..."

However, there were too many people at the scene and the voice was too noisy. He didn't hear him, and he was talking with the arrester of Jingzhao Mansion.

Two government officials stood at the gate, preventing them from entering.

"Zhiyan."

As a last resort, Murong Ci called out again.

Shen Zhiyan looked over, was taken aback, and immediately came and took them in, but did not reveal the identity of His Highness.

"His Royal Highness came after hearing the news of Master Zhuang's death?" He speculated.

"The palace happened to be on the street and was about to go back to the east palace. I heard people on the street mention it, and saw you galloping in. The palace followed." Murongci explained with a smile, and glanced at the vestibule. Case.

"The dealer found out that Master Zhuang was dead early in the morning, so he immediately went to Jingzhao Mansion to report the case. Jingzhao Mansion received the report and sent someone to see it. Later, he sent someone to Dali Temple to report it." He whispered and smiled slyly, "This It's the murder case of Jingzhao Mansion, I don't want to take matters into the hands."

"There have been homicides, and there are corpses to be examined. Isn't this Mr. Shen's favorite?" Qin Ruo quipped.

"I just arrived and haven't seen the body yet." Shen Zhiyan smiled gently.

At this moment, the two government officials came over and said, "Master Shen, Catcher and Haosuo, please go and have a look."

Shen Zhiyan and Murongci looked at each other and walked inside together.

In the backyard, a group of maidservants and servants knelt on the ground, crying, crying, and crying. The servants stood aside, their heads hanging down.

The arresters from Jingzhao's Mansion led them into the study room, and they were in the study room.

Catch the head and said: "Master Shen, you have a good ability in autopsy, so please come and have a look."
