She turned into a noble lady in the book, she wanted to lie down

Chapter 145 145. Who sent the dead?

"Aunt Chunnuan, come in and change a candle."

Liu Xinning saw that it was almost finished, and the candle was about to burn out, so she called Chun Nuan, who was guarding outside the door, to come in.

Chun Nuan responded.She quickly finished changing the candles, watching Liu Xinning and Xiao Muze sitting at the table as if they had finished talking.

Only then did he speak: "Princess, two quarters ago, the guards from Baihua Bieyuan came over. The servant girl asked them to guard around Zhuangzi."

"Well, you arrange it."

Liu Xinning was not displeased with the late arrival of the guards.

After all, this suburb of Beijing is not far from the capital.At the foot of the Son of Heaven, not to mention the safest place, it is better than other places.

Therefore, it is normal for these guards to not have such experience in dealing with them.

However, if it wasn't for Xiao Muze's guards today, I'm afraid she would reveal her preparations.

At present, she has no intention of tearing off the disguise in full view.

"Also, just now a man in black said he wanted to find Xiao..."

Chunnuan glanced at Xiao Muze, and swallowed the word 'guard' back.

She is not a fool, so she can see that Xiao Muze is not a simple guard anymore.

"He is the adopted son of my Uncle Zhan Wang, so you can call him Young Master Xiao." Liu Xinning did not hide Chun Nuan's intention.

"I have something to do, so I concealed my identity. Don't blame Aunt Chun Nuan."

Xiao Muze knew how much Liu Xinning valued Chunnuan.

If he is one of Liu Xinning's saviors, Chun Nuan is another one.

Although, today's Chunnuan is a servant of slavery, it stands to reason that he should block the sword for his master.

However, he found that in Liu Xinning's heart, he didn't value status so much, but he valued character more.

Therefore, even though Chun Nuan was a servant of slavery, and Xiao Muze was a guard with a contract of living, Liu Xinning had great trust and respect for them.

In this way, he naturally has to respect Chun Nuan.

"Young Master Xiao."

Chun Nuan was naturally taken aback when she heard Xiao Muze's identity.

However, she still restrained her surprise and bowed to report.

"Just now a son said he wanted to see you. The maid said that you were talking to the princess, and he was waiting in the courtyard. Now let him come in?"

"It should be Ling Yi. Ling Yi is the leader of the guard."

Xiao Muze and Liu Xinning introduced the identity of the outsider, and then said to Chun Nuan: "Auntie, please let him in."

Chun Nuan went out to invite someone.

Soon, a tall black figure walked in.

After he saluted both Xiao Muze and Liu Xinning, he said solemnly: "We interrogated the assassins, and those people might not be killers, they might be dead men."

"what?"

When Liu Xinning and Xiao Muze heard this, they stood up in surprise.

They looked at each other, and there was also seriousness in their eyes.

A dead man is different from a killer.

Although the martial arts of the dead fighters may not be higher than that of the killers, their tone is very tight, and they don't care about their own lives.

Usual torture methods, it is difficult to ask anything.

And a dead man is not something that ordinary people can have, let alone something that the Bai family can have.

However, Xiao Muze lived in Wangning County all year round, but only came to the capital last year.

Who will use the dead against him?
"Among the Yu family, it seems that only Yuge can support the dead..." Liu Xinning said hesitantly.

Sure enough, as soon as her words fell, Xiao Muze's face became even more gloomy.

"Maybe someone knows my identity and wants to deal with my adoptive father?"

Xiao Muze's complexion changed, and finally he spoke with the corners of his mouth reluctantly.

"Yes. It's also possible. Or maybe it was sent by people from the Wu Dynasty? You usually attack them on the battlefield, so they naturally know your identity." Liu Xinning echoed thoughtfully.

Hearing these words, Ling Yi looked up at them, then lowered his head silently.

And inside, it was quietly quiet.

"It seems that if these people are not handed over to Liu Qingshi for trial, I'm afraid they will die." After a long time, Xiao Muze said.

Judging the dead is not the strong point of these guards.

Only capable officials who are good at interrogation in Dali Temple can do it.

Besides, since there is an explanation to be given to the emperor, it would be fine if the emperor's confidants interrogated him.

"Since you've made up your mind, don't worry about it." Liu Xinning could only comfort her like this.

Xiao Muze naturally understood this truth.Therefore, he didn't say anything more.

The city gates were only opened on the second day, and Xiao Muze and Liu Xinning entered the capital and entered the palace together.

Because today is the 27th, there is no big court meeting in the court hall, so Emperor Qingping is discussing matters with several important officials in the imperial study.

After the discussion of the matter was over and all the ministers dispersed, Supervisor Tai walked in quickly and said a few words into Emperor Qingping's ear.

Emperor Qingping's face changed visibly with the naked eye.

After announcing Liu Xinning and the others to come in, Emperor Qingping sat on the dragon chair and listened to Xiao Muze's statement with a blank expression, without speaking for a long time.

Of course, he knew about Zhan Wang having an adopted son.

But because of this adopted son, neither entered the Xiao family's genealogy, nor was he invited to be crowned heir.Therefore, Emperor Qingping didn't particularly care.

It's just a foster child, and if you raise one, you can raise ten more.It is not yet known who will inherit the final title of Warlord.

However, the identity of the adopted son of the war king is going to change now?

"Do you want to recognize your ancestors and return to your clan now? Yu Qing's family of poems and books is heir, but you are a military general."

It took a long time for Emperor Qingping to speak.

"Chen..." Xiao Muze hesitated for a moment.

"I think it's better to clarify the assassination first. If it has nothing to do with the Yu family, it's good. If it has something to do with the Yu family, then..."

Xiao Muze remained silent, but his expression became gloomy.

Yesterday, although he refuted Liu Xinning's words, his heart was not without fluctuations.

In the capital, only the Yu family had conflicts with him.

He originally thought that the killer was sent by the Bai clan, because after his death, the Bai clan and her son benefited the most.

However, this is not a killer, but a dead man.

How can the Bai family support the dead with an outside room?

"Alright. It's time to find out. I have ruled the Daqing Dynasty for 18 years, and now, under my feet, the assassinations are still happening one after another. It's time to check it out." Emperor Qingping was also a little angry .

He didn't dare to say that he was wise and powerful, and he was well-versed in politics and harmonious in people, but in the end he had quite a lot of political achievements.

Especially, near the capital, such fanfare assassinations are even rarer.

But this year is good, two incidents happened in two months.The people who were assassinated were all his descendants...

"Let Tai Gui lead you to Dali Temple, and you will personally explain to Liu Qingshi. Hand over all the assassins to him, and let him find a way to pry their mouths open." Emperor Qingping first said to Xiao Muze.

"Yes." Xiao Muze hurriedly responded.

Then, he followed Tai Jian out of the imperial study room and went to Dali Temple.

　In other words, the names of the characters in my last book and this book are mysterious.Have you found out?Ha ha.
