"Yes...I pointed it out to him..." Wang Xiaonian lowered his head and finally said it.
"Well, that's it. Muchengbai didn't know Ye Xiao at all. It was because you met Ye Xiao and because Ye Xiao once blackmailed you, so you held a grudge and instigated Muchengbai to find trouble with Ye Xiao? That's right.
No?" The prince asked in a slow and calm voice.
But this calm voice made Wang Xiaonian's heart beat rapidly, and he almost fainted from fright.
"……yes."
Wang Xiaonian said this word with great difficulty, and he could clearly feel that the eyes of the princess above were a little colder. Wang Xiaonian could not help but tremble.
"Then what?"
"Then the two of them had a conflict. Ye Xiao suddenly took action and beat... Mr. Mu... and knocked Mr. Mu to the ground... Mr. Mu ordered his men to fight back. Ye Xiao saw that something was not going well and ran away... Mu
The young master and his entourage gave chase..."
Wang Xiaonian looked pale and stammered as he narrated the development of the matter, sweat dripping from his head.
"Ye Xiao beat Mr. Mu and knocked Cheng Bai to the ground..." The prince frowned: "As far as I know, Ye Xiao, who is known as the third young master in the capital, is just a playboy who is waiting to die... Mr. Mu is a human being.
He is at the peak of Yuanjing cultivation... and he is accompanied by two great guards!"
He looked at Wang Xiaonian playfully: "Ye Xiao beat Mr. Mu? And knocked him to the ground?"
"Yes...that's it..." Wang Xiaonian stammered, almost paralyzed. He never imagined that he would encounter such a thing.
If I didn't want to frame Ye Xiao, how could I have happened today?
Ye Xiao, who deserved to die the most and was also the least powerful, was fine, but Mu Chengbai, the so-called master who deserved to die the least, died!
Wang Xiaonian felt that God was playing a big joke on him!
So absurd!
"Oh..." The prince nodded noncommittally: "You go on."
"Ye Xiao ran away, and Mr. Mu and his party went after him...and then...then I went home..." After Wang Xiaonian said this, he finally couldn't help it, tears burst out crazily, and he cried loudly: "Your Highness...
…I don’t know anything about what will happen next…”
"The thing you caused...you instigated it...and then they started fighting, and you actually went home like this? Now that my brother is dead, you still want to tell me that you don't know anything?!
"The Crown Princess stared at Wang Xiaonian full of resentment, and there was a strong murderous intent in her voice without any concealment.
"I, I, I... Mr. Mu wants to kill Ye Xiao to avoid suspicion... I... the villain has no choice but..." Wang Xiaonian burst into tears. At this moment, he was really scared out of his mind.
Got it.
"Come here, take this bastard out and chop him up!" The princess was furious and gave the order. Wang Xiaonian fainted on the spot.
The prince waved his hand and frowned: "Wang Xiaonian is just an inducement at best. Killing him is useless, but it will make his subordinates alienate. After all, Wang Danian is in charge of the general bodyguard of the palace... Besides, I think there is something fishy about Cheng Bai's death."
"What's weird?" The Crown Princess raised her eyebrows: "What could be weird?"
"Ye Xiao is just a playboy. He has absolutely no ability to kill Muchengbai!" The prince put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "This matter... there must be some force involved that we don't know about..."
His eyes shone sharply: "This matter requires detailed investigation."
"But no matter what, it is certain that he is related to Ye Xiao!" The Crown Princess said with a murderous look in her eyes: "My brother is determined not to die in vain! This Ye Xiao must be buried with him!"
The prince smiled bitterly and said: "This also needs to be considered in the long term. Ye Xiao himself is naturally nothing, but his father Ye Nantian holds heavy troops and is stationed in northern Xinjiang. He is the pillar of the empire! In northern Xinjiang, he can almost cover the sky with one hand, and the current situation is very dangerous.
Tighten up, various countries are ready to start wars, wars are frequent, and several princes in the country are also using their own methods...At this moment, it is definitely not a wise move to rashly kill the son of the first general of the empire..."
The princess' face turned cold: "Chen Bangguo! This won't work, and that won't work either. Could it be that my brother's death was in vain?"
The prince sighed: "Things have priorities, and we must take a long-term view and start from the overall situation... Let's deal with the situation from Ye Xiao's side first. If there is really a real culprit behind the scenes, and rashly kills Ye Xiao, leading to death without evidence, the real culprit
If you go unpunished, your uncle's death will really be in vain."
"Okay, then I will wait for your news!" The Crown Princess snorted coldly, and walked out quickly with a gust of fragrant wind. When she walked to the door, she turned back: "But this Wang Xiaonian must not be spared lightly!"
"Eighty rod punishment!" The prince frowned: "Life and death are determined by fate."
Ordinary warriors can beat people to death with eighty sticks. Wang Xiaonian is just an ordinary young man, and his body has been drained by wine and sex. Even if he has some force, it is definitely not worth mentioning.
If he was really punished by eighty-year rods, he would definitely die. So the prince pondered again and said: "Let Wang Danian carry out the punishment himself!"
Wang Danian beat his own son to death...can he be beaten to death?
"Humph!" The Crown Princess snorted heavily and turned around.
The prince watched the princess leave, his expression remained calm, he clapped his hands slowly and said, "How was the investigation?"
A man in black walked in respectfully and said: "There is basically no difference between what Wang Xiaonian said about this matter, but there are a few things that are strange."
The prince frowned slightly and said nothing.
"The first strange thing is that everyone saw with their own eyes that Ye Xiao really defeated Muchengbai back then; but as far as I know, Ye Xiao's cultivation is absolutely unable to do this."
"Because of this, my subordinates went to check on Muchengbai's body and found that... his Dantian was injured, but... as we all know, his fatal injury was just a stab in the back. It was extremely clean..."
"Then, there is a problem with the injury to Dantian. It is obviously... someone had sealed his Dantian before. That's why Ye Xiao was able to knock him to the ground... and the person who sealed his Dantian was definitely a super
Master!"
"Super master..." The prince murmured to himself, walked slowly, nodded slowly, and said, "Any more?"
"Yes, Muchengbai followed Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao did not go very far. Instead, he hid after turning a corner and then returned home. Someone has seen this before..."
Ye Xiao's story was indeed effective in setting up suspicions.
The prince's brows furrowed even more.
The man in black said: "But Mr. Mu still chased him, and he chased him to the mountains, forests and rivers; and then he was killed there. There are too many things in this that I can't figure out."
The prince nodded: "What do you think?"
"My subordinates believe that the fatal injuries to Mr. Mu and the two guards were very smooth... two guards were stabbed at the same time, and one of the wrists was broken. It was obvious that the person who took the shot grabbed the knife in an instant and killed both of them at the same time! This is not true at all.
It's not like an ordinary master's move, even an average Earth Yuan realm peak might not be able to do it; instead, it looks like..." Hesitation flashed in the eyes of the man in black, hesitating for a moment, and said: "...It's like a...
A master of swordsmanship."
"Master of Tianyuan Sword Realm!"
When the man in black said these six words, it was very difficult.
The prince raised his eyebrows slightly, slowly raised his eyelids, and said: "Grandmaster of Tianyuan Sword Realm...are you sure?" An inexplicable look flashed in his eyes.
"Yes." The man in black lowered his head.
The prince was silent for a moment and said: "So...this matter has nothing to do with Ye Xiao?"
The man in black hesitated and said, "I can't be sure."
"If there are other forces that want to take action against Cheng Bai, whose force will it be? For what purpose?"
The prince asked thoughtfully.
In the voice, a strange atmosphere slowly took shape.
The man in black stood with his hands down, not daring to say a word.
The prince was just talking to himself. This was not a question that needed to be answered. And he did not dare to answer.
There are too many things involved in this.
The prince's eyes narrowed slightly and he said calmly: "Let's start with Ye Xiao and launch an investigation..."
"yes."
"As for other discoveries... let's put them down for now."
The prince turned around, flicked the sleeves of his bright yellow robe, and left calmly.
But there was a strange look in the eyes of the man in black. Following the prince for many years, he understood best: the more the prince showed that he didn't care about something, the more he actually cared about it in his heart!
He has memorized it firmly.
But why should other things be suppressed?
A trace of fear flashed in the eyes of the man in black, as if he saw... in the near future, the bloody storm will permeate the imperial city!
There was one thing he didn't dare to say: Even if Ye Xiao couldn't kill Muchengbai, it might not be because of the other princes. You know, among the eight major families, other families also liked to see Muchengbai.
dead.
But he could only keep it in his heart.
…
At this moment, Ye Xiao was still sitting cross-legged, carefully feeling the process of the energy in his Dantian gradually accumulating; this feeling was exactly his favorite feeling.
Because this will give him a feeling like 'I am getting stronger'...
In fact, is there any warrior who is not obsessed with this feeling?
Just when Ye Xiao felt light and drunk, the housekeeper walked in quietly and coughed lightly.
As soon as there was a reminder, Ye Xiao woke up immediately and asked: "What's the matter?"
The housekeeper looked at Ye Xiao's practicing posture, and couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise in his eyes, and said: "Master, there is one thing that you need to confirm in person."
"What's the matter?" Ye Xiao frowned.
"Did you kill Muchengbai?" The housekeeper looked at Ye Xiao and said in an extremely straightforward tone.
Ye Xiao was completely taken aback by such a simple statement.
With these words, Ye Xiao felt more and more clearly that the housekeeper in his family was really not a simple person.
