After drinking the chicken soup, Xiao San and Xiao Si finally had the time to go through the events of this short day. After all, a lot of things happened too suddenly and didn't seem to have been planned for a long time.
Xiao Si said suspiciously: "You say, who would have such a powerful death warrior?"
Xiao San sat on the stone steps outside the door, his back facing the door as he lowered his head and muttered: "Hmph, if it wasn't for Miss Liang overestimating herself, the Prince wouldn't have ended up like this." These words entered Xiao Si's ears. "San 'er, don't put the blame on Miss Liang. Miss Liang was just anxious to save someone." Xiao Si began to speak up for Liang Xiaoying.
"Say, do you think the death warrior of the inn and the criminal are in the same group? This is clearly targeting Miss Liang. Who could it be?" Xiao Si rubbed his head, feeling very distressed.
"It looks like they wanted Miss Liang's life, but in reality, they were targeting the Prince. Whoever the Prince poses the greatest threat to, it's most likely the culprit! "Xiao San calmly analyzed after a moment of thought.
"Eastern Palace Crown Prince — —" The two said in unison.
"After the Prince finishes eating, we'll tell the Prince about this." Xiao San stood up and said angrily.
"If you can think of it, how could the Prince not think of it? The Prince had a plan in his heart. Let's move the corpse back and then think about it. "Xiao Si patted Xiao San's shoulder and turned to leave.
Because Xiao Shiyu's body was much better, although he still couldn't do anything that required too much energy, he could still move normally. Hundred Flowers Tower was still a bit inconvenient, so Liang Xiaoying said her goodbyes and left Hundred Flowers Tower. Everyone returned to the Wang fu.
The fu's housekeeper had already tidied up everything here. It was completely impossible to tell that there had been an intense fight here. Liang Xiaoying sighed when she saw the fresh flowers that were brought here to cover the smell of blood.
As he supported Xiao Shiyu and walked inside, he sighed and said, "These people probably felt that their deaths were worth it even at the moment of their deaths, but they didn't think about the people behind them. They didn't treat them as lives at all. They were worse than dogs raised by their feet."
Xiao Shiyu had grown up in such an environment, so he didn't think much of it. After hearing what Liang Xiaoying said, he said, "Actually, these people were abandoned. The moment they were rescued, they offered themselves to their masters. It's a little sad."
The topic seemed to be a little too pessimistic, and the two of them actually stopped talking. Liang Xiaoying knew that different societies had different rules. There were many things that she couldn't accept. After all, it wasn't a century.
Perhaps the people here wouldn't be able to tolerate modern life. No matter what, as long as he was a kind person, he could live in any era. Wasn't this the truth? Looking at Xiao Shiyu in front of her, Liang Xiaoying knew that she didn't choose the wrong person.
Xiao San and Xiao Si moved the corpse of the man of sacrifice and put it aside. After a careful search, they found evidence that could prove the identity of the man. The man of sacrifice died before he could take the poison in his teeth. After asking Doctor Wen, he learned that the poison couldn't be bought in the ordinary market and could only be obtained in the palace. After inquiring through many channels, only the Crown Prince would get the poison from the imperial physician every month. Xiao San and Xiao Si told Xiao Shiyu the news they had inquired. Xiao Shiyu nodded and sat on the couch to think.
The next day, Xiao Shiyu went to the palace to see the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, a few days ago on the way back from the suburbs, I almost died in the hands of a group of men of sacrifice. Your Majesty, please investigate." If Xiao Shiyu directly said that the men of sacrifice were the subordinates of the Crown Prince, the Emperor would inevitably suspect that he was deliberately targeting the Crown Prince. He would let the Emperor investigate personally. He only needed to lend a hand when necessary to get to the bottom of this matter.
The Emperor frowned after hearing this, "Who dared to do such a ridiculous thing under my eyes! Seventeen, did you find anything? "
"The men of sacrifice were very clean. In fact, there were also such experts in the inn who wanted to assassinate Xiao Ying." Xiao Shiyu told the Emperor everything that happened in the inn.
The Emperor slapped hard, "I will not tolerate it! Someone, investigate this matter thoroughly. There must be no mistakes. "
When the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace heard that the Emperor had ordered a strict investigation, he panicked. Although his men of sacrifice had died very cleanly, if this investigation continued, it was inevitable that the Emperor's attention would shift to him. At that time, with a grudge in his heart, as long as Xiao Shiyu framed him, his position as the Crown Prince would inevitably be shaken. Thinking of this, the Crown Prince panicked and hated Xiao Shiyu more and more.
Man Amei walked charmingly and slowly sat next to the Crown Prince. She used the handkerchief in her hand to wipe the sweat on the tip of her nose. Since the round fan annoyed the Crown Prince last time, she didn't dare to bring this annoying thing in front of the Crown Prince.
"I heard that the Emperor has ordered an investigation on Xiao Shiyu's accident in the suburbs. Does the Crown Prince have a plan?" In fact, Man Amei had already thought of a plan, but because of the Crown Prince, she pretended to ask.
"I can't let the Emperor's attention fall on me. If that happens, it will be difficult for me to sit on the Crown Prince's position." The Crown Prince was expressionless and pretended to be calm.
"I have a plan. First, it can divert the Emperor's attention. Second, it can push down the Seventeenth Prince." Man Amei put her finger on the Crown Prince's lips and gently moved it. Her face was full of charm.
"Let's hear it." The Crown Prince suddenly became interested. His hand slowly moved around Man Amei's slender waist.
Man Amei's arms wrapped around the Crown Prince's neck. Her cherry lips moved closer to the Crown Prince's ear. "I heard that the people in the city are complaining about the heavy taxes. The Seventeenth Prince is in charge of this, but he just submitted an official document not long ago. According to the Seventeenth Prince's speed, it will take at least seven days to resolve this matter. In addition, the accident in the suburbs must not have time to go through the official document. Why don't … "Man Amei didn't continue, but her meaning was obvious.
The Crown Prince heard this and instantly felt relieved. He turned and smiled evilly. "I'll listen to you." Then, he picked up Man Amei and placed her on his lap. He loosened her belt and tangled with her …
After that, the Crown Prince secretly ordered someone to sneak into the Seventeenth Prince's Mansion and steal the official document that reflected the heavy taxes. If the tax issue was not dealt with for too long, the people's hearts would be shaken. At this time, if he played some tricks to provoke the people's hearts, Xiao Shiyu would definitely lose the people's hearts! If the movement was a little bigger and alerted the Emperor, the Seventeenth Prince's position in the Emperor's heart would definitely be greatly reduced! The Crown Prince couldn't help but sneer in his heart. The image in his mind was fixed on Xiao Shiyu, and his face was full of disdain.
Xiao Shiyu sat in front of the table and happily picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into his mouth. "Mmm — delicious! Xiao Ying's cooking is really unique. It's really a rare delicacy in the world! "Xiao Shiyu chewed the food in his mouth with a face full of happiness.
Liang Xiaoying supported her chin with her hands and smiled at Xiao Shiyu's child-like appearance. "It's good that you like it. I can make a lot of things. If you make me happy, I can consider whether or not to make you shredded taro." Liang Xiaoying looked proud.
"Then, Xiao Ying, how do you want to be happy?" As she said this, she hugged Liang Xiaoying with a smile in her eyes.
"You think about it yourself. I only care about being happy." Liang Xiaoying arrogantly turned her head to the side.
Xiao Shiyu smiled but didn't say anything. He carried Xiao Ying and walked into the house. The two of them didn't hear the sound in the east study. They didn't hear anything.
At this time, two men in black were searching around in the dark study.
"I found it. It's the official document for taxes." One of the men in black took out a document from a thick stack.
"Retreat!" After seeing it clearly, the two of them quickly flew out from the roof.
Ten days later.
"Say, the taxes are getting heavier and heavier, and the imperial court isn't doing anything about it." In front of a roadside Yangchun noodle shop, two middle-aged men were chatting while eating noodles.
"Isn't that so? I heard that the Seventeenth Prince has already handed the official document to the Seventeenth Prince. It's been so long, why hasn't there been any movement?" The other man said.
"Have you heard? The Seventeenth Prince doesn't care about this at all. It seems like not all officials are good people," a man behind them said in a low voice. Hearing this, the two middle-aged men hurriedly turned around. "Brother, you can't speak carelessly. The Seventeenth Prince's character is obvious to all of us. He isn't that kind of person."
The man deliberately raised his voice. "In our eyes, the Seventeenth Master is indeed that kind of person. But think about it carefully. The imperial court's efficiency is usually seven days, but it's already been a few days. If they have the heart to care about it, it's not difficult to reduce the taxes. Isn't it time to change our impression of the Seventeenth Master? "After saying this, he slammed the account on the table, leaving the people behind to whisper among themselves.
As soon as the man left, another young and handsome man stepped forward to speak.
"I think what that brother said just now is very reasonable. Let's make this matter bigger and see if the imperial court still cares. We don't even have enough to eat, and we still have to bear such heavy taxes. We respect him, but he treats us like lambs to be slaughtered. " As soon as he finished speaking, the people present all expressed their agreement. They decided to make this matter bigger and let the emperor settle it.
Man Ying, who was passing by, saw the situation and realized that the handsome young man was from the Crown Prince's residence. She immediately understood the whole story.
Man Ying returned to the Crown Prince's residence with a straight face. Outside the door, she heard soft moans that were hard to hear. Man Ying suppressed her anger and pushed the door open. The two people who were rolling on the bed immediately sat up. Seeing that it was Man Ying, the Crown Prince frowned and growled, "Get out!" Man Ying still stood at the door, looking coldly at the pale Man Amei on the bed. Man Amei immediately hugged the Crown Prince's waist. "Crown Prince, I'm afraid." Her innocent face made the Crown Prince feel pity for her.
"Hurry up and get out!" The Crown Prince roared again.
"About the taxes, what's going on?" Man Ying asked coldly.
Being questioned like this, the Crown Prince could not help but panic. He said guiltily, "What does this have to do with me? The taxes are Xiao Shiyu's business. Why bring it up in front of me?"
Man Ying knew that he wouldn't admit it and walked out of the room angrily. Man Amei looked at Man Ying's back view and was full of sarcasm. Man Ying sent her trusted aide to inform the seventeenth duke's residence and have them pay more attention. She also had her aide relay what she had seen today. However, the moment his trusted aide stepped out of the Crown Prince's residence, he was assassinated by the Crown Prince's men of sacrifice.
