Magistrate Xue's puzzled expression froze on his face, and his face turned pale layer by layer, like the surface of a slowly frosted lake. There was something shaking in his eyes, sadness, disbelief, despair...
Ouch! The housekeeper and several servants who followed behind bent over and retched.
"I am the guard next to King Xu. These two thieves tried to attack King Xu and were killed on the spot. Many of their accomplices escaped. Magistrate Xue, this happened in your jurisdiction. Please investigate thoroughly as soon as possible.
Give King Xu an explanation." The leader of the men in black raised the token in his hand and said coldly. After speaking, he waved his hand and left quickly with the men in black behind him.
Magistrate Xue seemed to be dumbfounded, staring blankly at the two corpses on the ground. He remained speechless for a long time. Everyone did not dare to speak, and they all stood there tremblingly.
Suddenly, Magistrate Xue fell to one side like a big tree that suddenly fell. The housekeeper exclaimed and stepped forward quickly, but did not have time to hold him up. Magistrate Xue fell to the ground, his face as white as a plaster statue.
, I saw his lips moving a few times, and a few almost inaudible sounds coming out of his mouth. The butler leaned closer and heard: "This is impossible, this is not true, this is impossible, this is not true..."
The housekeeper felt great grief and called out hoarsely: "Master..."
However, Magistrate Xue seemed not to hear his voice and just sat on the ground mumbling to himself.
The butler's face was sad, and he suppressed the grief in his heart, turned around and ordered: "Help the master back."
Two male servants came forward, supported Magistrate Xue and left.
"Immediately go buy a coffin and restrain yourself from the young master and the eldest young master as soon as possible." When he said the last two words, the housekeeper seemed to have lost all his strength, and his voice was so low that only he could hear it.
To the west of the city, there is a secluded residence with a deep courtyard.
In the side hall, the window was half open, the cold breeze was blowing, and the charcoal fire was burning in the room, which was warm and cozy. King Xu leaned against the window, with a lazy smile on his face, looking straight at Yun Jingchu in front of him, with a tone in his tone.
He said casually: "As expected of Yun Jingshu's sister, Yu Wenqing just tried to frame your fifth brother, you let him die without a body, how cruel!"
Yun Jingchu was sitting in front of the brazier, stirring the charcoal fire. When he heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said disapprovingly: "The frame-up attempt failed because we handled it properly. If I don't know Wu Jiu, then my fifth brother will definitely die? Besides, Yuwen
This is not the only thing you owe me."
Yun Jinghua was very cunning. Most of the time when dealing with his three elder brothers, he would not come forward personally, but let Yu Wenqing help him deal with it. Back then, when her eldest brother's leg was crushed, Yu Wenqing was involved.
"Then just think that Yu Wenqing deserves to die," Dongfang Xu smiled nonchalantly, and then looked at Yun Jingchu with a teasing face, "I helped you get rid of Yu Wenqing at the risk of being misunderstood by the world as lecherous.
,How do you want to thank me?"
A hint of amusement appeared on Yun Jingchu's face, and then he said in a calm voice: "King Xu was wrong. It was not you who helped me get rid of Yu Wenqing, but our cooperation to get rid of our common enemy - Yu Wenqing."
"Oh, really?" Dongfang Xu raised his eyebrows noncommittally, with a look of disapproval on his face.
"Back then, the Yuwen family turned their backs on you and chose Dongfang Chen." Yun Jingchu continued with a smile.
"So what, good birds choose trees to roost in. I'm not good enough and they don't support me, so I have nothing to complain about." Dongfang Xu said in a calm voice with a faint smile on his face.
"Then, if I say that the reason why you fell into the scandal of having an affair with the late emperor's concubine was designed by Yu Wenqing, would you still say that?" Yun Jingchu said with a smile on his lips, with a hint of ridicule.
