"Who are you?" Wu Yuan asked looking at the man in front of him who was smiling very meanly and arrogantly.
"Your Highness, this is You Dequan, our Minister of Punishment, and the son of Lord You, our Minister of Punishment."
The person who replied to Wu Yuan's words was the officer from the Ministry of Justice who had just stopped Wu Yuan.
But the next second, Wu Yuan slapped the official in the face with his backhand.
"Do you have a role to speak here? What are you?"
Just kidding, even if he is not the crown prince, he is still the eldest prince. How can he still make a small character have a sense of presence?
Then he doesn't have to hang around here anymore, he won't be able to stand firmly if he's not ruthless.
Someone wanted to take his own life, so Wu Yuan would certainly not tolerate anyone.
Regarding Wu Yuan's actions, Xin Ruyan and other guards did not think it was inappropriate.
The previous prince was even worse than this.
The official was beaten and was a little confused, even a little unconvinced.
At this time, You Dequan walked over with a gloomy face, "Wu Yuan, you are no longer the prince, why do you beat my people for no reason?"
"Boy, I don't care who you are. The assassin is here to kill me. No one can stop me from investigating the case, unless you want to protect the assassin or the person behind the assassin."
At the end of the sentence, Wu Yuan's tone became a little more serious.
The guards were all stunned, showing doubts in their eyes.
If no one had said it, I wouldn't have thought it, but now that Wu Yuan has said it so directly, when I recall the attitude of the Ministry of Justice in stopping people just now, it is indeed a bit confusing.
You Dequan suddenly said angrily: "Wu Yuan, the people in the Criminal Department are only loyal to the emperor and cannot tolerate your slander. I will definitely take part in your disobedience and slander."
"Then go ahead and don't waste my time investigating the case."
When You Dequan heard this, he said sadly: "Your Highness Wu Yuan, as long as I'm here today, you don't even want to see the assassin's body."
Wu Yuan also realized that if he had been restored to the position of prince, he would never dare to talk to him like this.
Just when Wu Yuan was thinking about using force, a burst of laughter came.
"Sir You, our eldest prince is just upset about being assassinated and wants to see the corpse to vent his anger. Just show your dignity and turn a blind eye."
Everyone looked up to see.
I saw a man with a strong build and extraordinary appearance walking over.
Seeing this man, Wu Yuan felt inexplicably uneasy.
When he saw that this person had always had his eyes on Xin Ruyan from the beginning, he even cursed secretly, "The prince also has a love rival?"
"Who are you?" Wu Yuan didn't have much impression of this person, he just thought he looked familiar.
Thinking about it, the former prince was used to being arrogant and domineering. He never paid attention to anyone and paid too much attention to these "little characters".
"His Royal Highness Wu Yuan doesn't even recognize Zhang Kui, our top martial artist in Dawu. He is really deaf to what's going on outside the window." You Dequan said in a strange tone. It seems that he has a good relationship with Zhang Kui.
Before Wu Yuan could speak, You Dequan said with excitement: "His Royal Highness Wu Yuan may not know yet, but Zhang Kui has already participated in this year's liberal arts examination. If nothing else happens, Wen Zhuangyuan will not be able to escape."
"At that time, he will be the first civil and military champion in the history of our great military country."
Zhang Kui pretended to smile modestly, and said in a very artificial way: "Brother You, thank you for your praise. This year's scientific examination list will not be announced until tomorrow. Until it is announced, everything is unknown."
"With your literary talent, there is no doubt that this article will be number one. Brother Zhang Kui, you are too humble."
As soon as You Dequan finished speaking, Wu Yuan sneered: "Is he your father? Are you licking like this?"
"What did you say? You, you, you..." Youde's powerful words were all awkward.
But Zhang Kui said calmly: "Brother You, please be patient. Our Highness Wu Yuan has also made a contribution today. It is inevitable that he will be speechless."
You Dequan was stunned, "Meritorious service?"
Today, there are many Shiwen Pavilion bachelors or high-ranking prime ministers in Yangxin Hall. His father, the Minister of Punishment, has gone, but he, the Minister of Punishment, can only wait outside for news.
Before the news arrived, I heard that there was an assassin here, so I brought someone over.
However, in the face of You Dequan's curiosity, Zhang Kui seemed unwilling to say more.
Instead, he said: "It's my fault for being a little late today, otherwise the Dayu envoy would have returned in disgrace, and he didn't dare to propose a competition in three days. This is obviously because His Highness Wu Yuan doesn't have enough courage."
Wu Yuan finally understood that this person came here to brag.
Just when he was about to speak, Zhang Kui didn't give him a chance, "Brother You, can you give me a face today and let His Highness Wu Yuan go find the corpse to vent."
You Dequan frowned, still seeming reluctant.
"Don't worry, it's just a corpse, nothing will happen." Seeing You Dequan's hesitation, Zhang Kui said again.
But others could not hear these words, Wu Yuan clearly felt that there was something in them.
I'm not too lazy to waste time with these two right now, the autopsy is more important.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Wu Yuan took two steps, Zhang Kui took the opportunity to talk to Xin Ruyan.
"Sister Ruyan, I haven't seen you for many days, and you feel a lot more haggard. How can I tell my adoptive father that I have brought you a lot of supplements and will send them back to you later."
When Wu Yuan heard this, his tongue almost flashed.
He immediately looked back, and it happened that Xin Ruyan seemed to be feeling something and also looked at Wu Yuan.
"He is my father's adopted son, so it is appropriate for him to call me sister. You don't have to be so surprised."
Wu Yuan really didn't expect that there was such a relationship.
Now, Wu Yuan looked even more displeased with Zhang Kui.
Zhang Kui said with a smile on his face: "Your Highness Wu Yuan, just go and do your business. I'll have a few words with Sister Ruyan."
After saying that, he really ignored Wu Yuan and said to Xin Ruyan: "Sister Ruyan, I heard that you have encountered a bottleneck recently. You use poems and paintings to cultivate your character and temper your character to break through the bottleneck. It just so happens that I have done a few things recently.
The poem was originally intended to respond to Dayu’s mission, but now there is no chance. How about asking Sister Ruyan to taste it?”
Xin Ruyan was a little embarrassed when she heard what Zhang Kui said.
After listening to Wu Yuan's few masterpieces, I knew that even Zhang Kui's poems would be difficult to surpass.
But it was hard to refuse directly. Just when he didn't know how to speak, Wu Yuan suddenly called out: "Ruyan, come here quickly. Today I will show you how the corpse talks."
To be honest, Xin Ruyan is still curious about Wu Yuan's autopsy.
He took the opportunity and said: "Sister-in-law, we'll talk about the poem later. I also want to know who is so bold and dares to commit murder in broad daylight."
After that, he walked slowly towards Wu Yuan.
Zhang Kui behind him immediately clenched his fists and his eyes flashed with a fierce look, but it was fleeting.
"Oh, that's fine, then I'll also see how His Highness Wu Yuan performed the autopsy."
