Chapter 20 Killing for Life
Xiao Huanxue's face was still as cold as frost, but her eyes showed anger. She knew that her sister was spoiled and impulsive, but she didn't expect that she couldn't even see the current situation. Even if everyone else has left, isn't the sixth prince still here watching? Even the first lady couldn't stop Xiao Huanyu from saying bad words, so Xiao Huanxue had to come forward and slap her fiercely.
Their sisters are like ice and fire. They have very different personalities, but they have the same heart. After Xiao Huanyu was shocked, he immediately understood what his sister meant. He turned his head and looked at the sixth prince and regretted it. Tears turned around his eyes, and then he sobbed.
Seeing this, Xiao Lingxiao pulled Xiao Ranjun's sleeve and advised, "The second sister is just frightened. Brother, don't blame her."
Xiao Ranjun stared at Xiao Huanyu again. At this time, Jing Zhaoyin entered the hall with his master, and Xiao Ranjun immediately greeted Xiao Lingxiao.
When they went far away, Xiao Huanxue came to the eldest lady and asked in a low voice, "Mother, what's going on?"
The first lady shook her head, and she could only wait to go back and ask the man what was going on! Tonight should be Xiao Lingxiao's death, but why did he get himself involved?
Xiao Lingxiao in the distance told Jing Zhaoyin and others about his attack, and peeked at the eldest lady. Seeing her frightened appearance, Xiao Lingxiao thought to herself, kill people to pay for their lives and pay off their debts. Madam, you should have the awareness of being eaten back when you send someone to kill me. Xiao Lingxiao hates people like the first lady who only want to kill others but don't want to stain their own hands.
"So, don't you have a clue about this?" After hearing Xiao Lingxiao's words, Jing Zhaoyin frowned and frowned. Except for the two messy bodies, there were no other clues. How can this case be investigated?
At this time, I heard Xiao Lingxiao say, "I have a guess. I don't know whether to say it or not?"
Just now, Xiao Lingxiao told the story that the story was in an orderly manner, and in the face of danger, she did not panic, which made Jing Zhaoyin have a good impression on her. Hearing what she said, Jing Zhaoyin immediately nodded, "Miss Xiao, you can speak frankly."
Xiao Lingxiao raised his eyes and looked at Li Jingxuan, who was standing aside and listening attentively. He whispered, "I guess these dead thieves were sent by others and robbed me on the road. Unfortunately, they were killed by my eldest brother and third brother, so the people behind them were probably so angry that they made the body like that and left it in the eldest princess's house. And now this matter involves my mother. Think about it carefully, it seems that there is only one person who is malicious to both of us..."
Jing Zhaoyin was still a little confused when he heard this, but Li Jingxuan understood what Xiao Lingxiao meant.
"Miss Lingxiao, do you suspect that the flower thief is not dead?"
Xiao Lingxiao stood up and sighed, "It's not strange that someone wants my Xiao Lingxiao's life, but it's strange that someone is targeting his mother. I heard that the flower-picking thief is very good at martial arts and has been around for many years. Can he die in the mountains so easily? Your Highness, I'm just a little suspicious, and there is no real evidence..."
Li Jingxuan broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead when he heard the words. The case of flower picking thief is still under review by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but he has reported what happened in Fali Temple to the emperor. And after finding the body, Li Jingxuan was a little greedy. In the memorial, he said that it was a flower thief. If the person who commits the crime is really a dead flower picker, even if he is not bully, at least he is unfavorable.
Li Jingxuan wanted to deny Xiao Lingxiao's inference, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what she said was very reasonable. The eldest princess's mansion has many guards to protect her. If it weren't for the fierce flower picking thief, who could have done such a thing secretly?
Thinking about it, Li Jingxuan sighed and said to Jing Zhaoyin, "This matter is not a small matter. I will enter the palace tomorrow to make a final determination."
This matter soon caused a lot of trouble in the city. The flower picking thief stared at the matter of the Miss Xiao family and the eldest lady, and they also walked away. After the eldest lady of the Xiao family died and came back to life, she was not blind or hoarse, and she was as beautiful as a flower, which made the fourth prince infatuated. Everyone knew that. It seems natural for such a beauty to be targeted by flower thieves. However, the eldest lady of the Xiao family was also targeted, which made people have another discussion. People can be heard everywhere in the streets and alleys that some people say that although Mrs. Xiao is half old, she is charming **, and even some people have fabricated a lot of obsirth dramas about the eldest lady for fun.
The Prime Minister's Mansion, in the Qinghe Courtyard.
Baorong Erle ran into the house with a pile of playbooks. When Xiao Lingxiao asked her to throw the bodies of those guys into the yard of the eldest princess and the eldest lady's carriage, Bao Ronger thought that the master was just to scare people. Unexpectedly, in the next few days, the master asked her to find the lowest troupe to write the play book. And she specially ordered that the protagonist of the play must be the eldest lady of a rich and noble family, and the more dirty the content is, the better.
In a few days, there were all kinds of gossip in the market. At this time, Bao Ronger understood that the owner had originally made this plan.
First, she lost her innocence, and now she has ruined her reputation. The eldest lady is all do it by herself.
"Master, I have found the play you want." Bao Ronger put the play on the table like a treasure. Unexpectedly, before Xiao Lingxiao reached out to get it, a figure flashed in and suddenly grabbed all the plays on the table.
Xiao Fengming held a pile of playbooks in his arms, stared at Bao Ronger fiercely, and said angrily, "Why do you take this dirty thing to your sister!"
Bao Ronger pouted aggrievedly, "The master said he wanted to see..."
Xiao Lingxiao hurriedly relieved Bao Ronger and said to Xiao Fengming, "I heard her say that she was lively, and I just wanted to see what was written in the play. Why do you blame her?"
Xiao Fengming said to Xiao Lingxiao with a black face, "Don't look at this kind of thing!" After saying that, he said harshly to Bao Ronger, "You are not allowed to say such a thing to your sister again!" Do you hear me?"
Bao Ronger stamped her feet angrily, stared at Xiao Fengming, turned around and ran out.
Xiao Lingxiao didn't expect that the demon wolf Bao Rong'er would be taught a lesson by Xiao Fengming. He was curious and asked, "It's really strange. You are a mortal, and you dare to teach Bao Ronger a lesson. Aren't you afraid that one day she will provoke her? Will she bite you to death?"
Xiao Fengming sorted out those plays and whispered, "The wolf clan is full of relatives. She won't bite me to death. If she doesn't use magic and just competes with me in martial arts, she is not my opponent.
After saying this, Xiao Fengming took those plays and went out.
Xiao Lingxiao sat at the table and smiled, "What's wrong? Don't let me see it. Do you want to take it back and watch it yourself? I heard that there are a lot of things that are not suitable for children.
Xiao Fengming's expression stiffened, and he shouted angrily, "I'm going to burn it, so as not to be found to cause any trouble!" After saying this, he took the play and disappeared as if he were running away.
However, in the Prime Minister's mansion, the Qinghe Courtyard is not the only one with these plays.
In the Xianglin courtyard, the old lady sat on the warm couch in a plain velvet jacket. On the square table, there were a few paper rough playbooks.
Xiao Shuyong sat aside with a black face. Without asking more questions, he knew what was written in those plays, because someone had already sent it to his desk, and he had read it all.
"Mother, these things are just vulgar things used by the market people to have fun, and the content is basically the same, which is not enough to explain..." Xiao Shuyong explained in a low voice.
The old lady's face was full of anger and slapped the table fiercely, "Look at the Xiao family today! It has been used by the people of the market to have fun! Your owner has done a good job!"
Xiao Shuyong's heart trembled and hurriedly defended, "There is no one in these dramas..."
"Are you going to be blind for others, or are you going to be blind yourself? Who can't see who is written here?" The old lady was even more angry.
"Mother, Qi has not done anything wrong for so many years since she entered the door. Now these things are caused by flower pickers. We can't blame her, let alone believe these gossip!" Xiao Shuyong was a little anxious. He stood up and his voice was much louder.
The old lady looked at Xiao Shuyong and sneered angrily, "Who is Qi? Don't you know best? When you just became the prime minister, Lu died. How many women are staring at the position next to you? Even the emperor wants to send you a royal woman, but why did her Qi enter the door? Humph! If I don't believe anything else, if I want to say that she will seduce men, I have to believe it!"
"Mother!" Xiao Shuyong shouted, but then felt that there was no way to refute. Xiao Shuyong can climb to the high position of prime minister at a young age. In addition to the power of the Xiao family, he is naturally very smart. At the beginning, Xiao Shuyong didn't see through the tricks of the Qi family to seduce him, but at that time, instead of marrying a useless daughter of the royal family, it was better to win over the Qi family to consolidate his power in the court. Xiao Shuyong married the Qi family.
Although the Qi family has been virtuous on the surface for so many years, in fact, her arrogance and domineering Xiao Shuyong is also clear. However, if you want to say that Qi let him cuckold, Xiao Shuyong, as a man, can't accept it anyway.
He thought for a moment and said to the old lady, "Mother, I think these things are still strange. What happened in the Fali Temple last time is very strange, and this time it is the same. I think there must be an article in this, and... Ling Xiao is involved in both things. Maybe she will know something."
The old lady's eyes sank when she heard the words, "You mean, these things are all Xiao Lingxiao's revenge on the Qi family?"
"I don't know either." Of course, Xiao Shuyong knew that what he said was groundless and even a little ridiculous, but at this time, if he wanted to divert the old lady's attention from Qi, he had to push out another person she hated.
Sure enough, the old lady pondered for a moment, called the servant loudly and said, "Go and call Xiao Lingxiao for me."
