175 The Innocent Man

Xu Mingyi saw his abnormality in his eyes and did not ask any more questions, but said: "Where is that temple? The body must still be there, I will go and see for myself -"

Zhu Xiu's face was complicated for a moment.

He has long realized the fact that his girl is completely different from ordinary ladies.

Not only does he do amazing things at such a young age, he is also determined to never give up until he reaches his goal.

Although he didn't know why the girl asked him to pay attention to this matter in advance, he was entrusted by his wife on her deathbed to be loyal to the girl, so he shouldn't have any self-righteous concealment.

"Girl, there are no clues about the body, but my subordinates found a key point from the leader -"

Xu Mingyi looked at him seriously.

"Under the opponent's black cloak, a scabbard was exposed on the side of his waist." Zhu Xiu lowered his voice and said, "It is the pattern pattern of the Feiyun Sword."

——Feiyun Dao?!

Xu Mingyi's eyes trembled slightly.

In the entire Daqing, the only person who holds the Feiyun Sword given by the emperor is Han Yan, the current commander of the Imperial Guard!

"Can you see clearly?" Xu Mingyi confirmed.

Zhu Xiu nodded firmly.

"Last month the Holy Emperor came out of the palace to worship his ancestors, and before the Imperial Guard followed him, my subordinates had personally seen this knife hanging on Han Yan's waist and would never admit it."

Different people pay attention to different points. Those who practice martial arts have all heard that this Feiyun knife can cut iron like clay. Before they saw it, they already knew the general style through word of mouth. Therefore, when they saw Han

Yan, the first thing he noticed was the saber on his body.

This was one of the reasons why he didn't take action to stop the opponent outside the ruined temple.

In desperation, he could not ask the girl for instructions, so he had to weigh the pros and cons and make a decision by himself.

It is too risky to start a conflict with the police. If you lose, you will be embarrassed or lose your life. Even if you win, you will definitely get into trouble later.

"Girl, I have something I don't know whether to say or not." Zhu Xiu said.

Xu Mingyi looked at him.

In the past, when she heard this sentence, she would usually reply, "Then don't talk about it."

Seeing that she was silent, Zhu Xiu said: "This matter may be something the emperor did to vent his anger on Princess Jingrong. In the final analysis, it is a dispute between the royal family."

Xu Mingyi nodded.

She knew that Uncle Zhu did not want her to get involved in this matter.

But what if the emperor did this to vent his anger on behalf of the eldest princess? This statement can only be used to coax a three-year-old child.

If you were venting your anger, why did you do it so blatantly?

There may be no need for scruples in the royal family's actions, and the Yamen won't be able to look into it even if they have a wink, but public opinion on this matter will ultimately point to the eldest princess alone.

"Don't pay attention to the corpse. Just treat tonight's events as unknown to the outside world."

This order does not represent any decision. Even if she cleans up Jia Junzhi's body, it will not have any substantial effect on reversing the situation.

Because she knew very well at the moment that the death of Princess Jingrong from illness was not directly related to Jia Junzhi.

Rushing to dispose of the body will make the situation that was somewhat clear become confusing again.

Zhu Xiu responded with a "yes" and retreated.

Xu Mingyi, however, no longer sleepy, walked out of the hall and stood on the corridor looking at the night sky.

Although there is no wind, the night is cold and the chill surrounds the whole body, which only makes people feel more awake.

Azhu brought out a cloak.

The shadows of the glazed lamps under the corridor moved gently in the wind, and Xu Mingyi wrapped herself in a cloak and sat down on the edge of the corridor.

Using Jia Junzhi's death as a guide to stir up public opinion towards Princess Jingrong...

Under such circumstances, once the eldest princess becomes "ill" or suffers from an "emergency", she will have a ready reason to conceal the truth - Xu Mingyi guessed based on the existing clues.

And could the truth of the previous life be like this?

In the night, the girl frowned tightly.

Even though she had seen the ruthless side of the current emperor before, she had never thought that the emperor was responsible for honoring the eldest princess.

Although the truth about the prince's previous incident was shocking, it still allowed people to understand what his plan was.

But how could Princess Jingrong, who had no real power, get in his way?

But what I have to say is that if we analyze this matter in detail, it does look very much like Emperor Qingming’s style.

He has a thief's heart and a thief's courage, but he doesn't want to bear the reputation of being cruel and murderous, so no matter what he does, he will try his best to cover it up in order to firmly maintain his so-called reputation as a wise king.

But why on earth did he attack the eldest princess?

In other words, is the murderer really him?

If it was really him, would she continue to interfere in this matter?

Xu Mingyi had so many thoughts in her mind that it was difficult to make a decision.

This incident was different from the previous incident with Xia Han. She was almost completely ignorant of the inside story involved and was blind.

But there is one thing -

Princess Jingrong is Jiaojiao’s mother.

This was also her original intention to change this matter in the first place.

Therefore, after only hesitating for a short moment, Xu Mingyi got rid of that hesitation.

This matter is destined to be difficult. What needs to be considered and weighed is not only how to save the eldest princess, but since it is to be done, it must be well planned.

After sitting like this for an unknown amount of time, a gust of cold wind suddenly passed by, and Xu Mingyi crossed his arms.

At this moment, for some reason, she suddenly thought of the scene when she and Wu Chao were admiring the moon on the tower that night.

The girl raised her head and looked into the night.

The stars were hidden in the dark sky, and the moon was dim, its light obscured by clouds.

It's not nearly as beautiful as the moon that night.



Two days later, news of Jia Junzhi's death suddenly spread in Beijing.

"After examination, it was found that the person had been dead for more than two days. Because the temple was remote and dilapidated for a long time, no one visited it on weekdays, so the body was not discovered in time -"

In the Jingya study room, a police officer was reporting this matter to Ji Dong.

Jia Junzhi's body was discovered by a beggar this morning. The news spread and soon attracted many people to watch. By the time they arrived, people who were keen to watch all kinds of excitement had already recognized the deceased.

identity.

After listening to the details reported by his subordinates, Ji Dong had a headache.

That Jia Junzhi became the prince-in-law after winning a competition to recruit a bride. He was not weak in skill and was very vigilant. However, the result of the autopsy was that this man was killed with a single knife, and he barely had time to make any resistance——

What does this mean?

It shows that the person who did it is unusual!

Hey, these noble people are really getting more and more careless in doing things, and they are so perfunctory that it's outrageous - it's not that they can't be killed, but... they have already killed them, so they can't dig a hole for them.

Buried by the way?

He has to be so blatant because he thinks he, the governor of the capital, is not bald enough?

Precisely because the appearance of this incident was "unscrupulous", it quickly aroused heated discussions in the city.

The common people dare not say it openly, but everyone has guessed who Princess Jingrong is - she has a motive, has the conditions to take action, and doesn't care about other people's opinions at all. Who else could this be if she wasn't Princess Jingrong?
