The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Wei Tai, the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, hurried over.

"My minister pays homage to the two Highnesses, the two Young Lords." Wei Tai came and saluted the four of them first.

"Master Wei." The four of Xiao Rui returned the salute.

As the parent official of the capital, Wei Tai is a senior member of the third rank, and his rank is no lower than that of the six ministers, but his situation is an errand that is easy to offend. Hearing that the two highnesses personally reported the case, Wei Tai came in person.

"Master Wei, let's deal with the murder case first." Xiao Rui said first.

Wei Tai glanced at the scene, and was also shocked by the tragic death. Five lives and one baby was still in its infancy. This is a big case! How many years has it been since such a tragedy happened in Beijing?

He quickly ordered the yamen servants to seal off and search the surrounding area, and asked Wu Zuo to start the autopsy.

Soon, the searched yamen servants found a carriage on the west side of the woods. The horses pulling it were gone, only the empty carriage was left, and no items that could prove their identity were found.

In half an hour, Wu Zuo also completed the autopsy.

"I report to my lord that there are five dead persons, including women between the ages of 18 and 22, youths between the ages of 20 and 24, and old couples between the ages of forty-five and fifty. The cause of death is They were all..." At this point, Wu Zuo paused.

"There are no outsiders, just say so." Wei Tai said casually.

Wu Zuo continued: "The cause of death was strangled to death, about five days ago."

"Strangle to death?" Wei Tai was taken aback for a moment, and then understood Wu Zuo's hesitation. Once homicide is involved, this is a major case, if it cannot be resolved, it will cause panic in the capital, and you will have to get yourself into trouble. If it was bitten to death by wild animals, then...

Wei Tai wished he could slap himself.

"What else did you find out?" Wei Tai continued to ask without changing his expression.

Wu Zuo said: "There were flesh and blood marks on the fingernails of the young deceased. It is estimated that he scratched the assailant before he was strangled to death. The other parts of the four people had no obvious injuries. As for the baby, he was smothered to death in swaddling clothes."

The policeman on the side also said: "The four of them don't have anything to prove their identities, nor are they on the carriage. It seems that they were taken away by the assailant."

Wei Tai nodded, and said: "Collect the corpse and bring it back to the Yamen. Based on the appearance of the deceased and the carriage, we will investigate in the capital!"

"Yes!" The policeman cupped his fists to accept the order.

After explaining, Wei Tai looked at Xiao Rui and the others, and said, "Your Highness, Young Lord, is there anything else you want to order?"

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Your Excellency is the parental officer of Ying Tianfu, how can we do it for you. I just hope that the case can be solved as soon as possible and the deceased is innocent."

"Your Highness Seventh, don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on this case and seize the time to solve it. However, there is a lot of traffic in the capital, and the investigation will take a certain amount of time. Once there is any progress, I will send someone to report to His Highness." Wei Tai said every detail .

Xiao Rui nodded with a smile, and then the four left, not in the mood to hunt.

On the way, the four of them slowed down.

"Seventh brother, who do you think the perpetrator is? It's too cruel, strangled the whole family to death, and even smothered the child to death." Xiao Yan said angrily.

"What kind of hatred is this?" Tian Boguang also sighed.

Zhang Lianchuan said angrily: "Damn the murderer, if I touch him, I will screw his head off."

Xiao Rui was about to speak.

"Ding dong..."

"New task!"

Xiao Rui was stunned, the system had a task again, he closed his eyes to check:

"Name: Xiao Rui

Status: Seventh Prince of the Great Xia Kingdom

Talent: Does being a time traveler count? no then no

Fall value: 80/100

Added task: find out the identity of the deceased and the reason for the killing, descending value +10, time: 20 days. If it is not completed, 60 points will be deducted from the descending value! "

Now Xiao Rui is more and more curious about the descending value. With all the points collected, can he summon the dragon?

Host, you can only make one wish! system said.

My wish is to have ten more wishes!

However, according to the nature of the system, it seems that this murder case is not simple. After all, if it is simple, Ying Tianfu can find out and easily accept the fisherman's benefits.

Xiao Rui also saw that the system was designed to trap the host, step by step to offend others and push him into the abyss.

So, who is it this time?

Xiao Rui is full of bad taste.

In the evening, the four of them had dinner at Cuiyun Building.

Gao Quan came back and spent 30,000 taels to buy a two-entry house in the south of the city, not far from Xiao Yan's house. There are high-ranking officials and nobles living in the southern part of the city, and the housing prices are already high, so it cost 80% of Xiao Rui's property.

When Xiao Rui arrived at the house, he was very satisfied with the location and environment.

Stayed and entered that night.

The next day, Gao Quan recruited a few more servants, maidservants, and guards. This family was officially alive.

A few days passed in a flash.

It has been four days since the murder case was discovered. Ying Tianfu checked the capital, but there was no report that the population was missing, so they suspected that the five people were foreigners. They also investigated all inns, post stations, and homestays, including rented houses, etc. to any reported information.

These five people seemed to appear in the capital mysteriously, and then left secretly.

Wei Tai was in a bit of a hurry. Now that the capital was full of turmoil, Emperor Xia also paid attention to this matter because it was the two princes and the young master who reported the case. Although he hadn't spoken yet, Wei Tai knew that if he couldn't solve the case for a long time, Emperor Xia would reprimand him.

Now Wei Tai regretted it, if Wu Zuo found out that the cause of death was bitten by a tiger, wouldn't there be so many troubles?

His stinky mouth.

In the past few days, Xiao Rui has not been idle.

What are you doing? Attend class.

You can't ask for leave all the time, or you will be slapped by Dr. Jin again.

In class, Xiao Rui was thinking about the murder case.

First of all, it is basically concluded that the deceased was not from the capital. The whole family was able to come to the capital with such a small baby, probably to visit relatives, so when they entered the city, they lived with relatives instead of staying in an inn or renting a house.

Then, the person who killed them was most likely the relatives who came to look for them, not vendettas, bandits, banditry and the like.

As a matter of urgency, the identities of the five must be confirmed.

However, they have nothing on them except clothes.

Wait, clothes?

Xiao Rui immediately asked Dr. Jin for leave, saying that his stomach hurts.

Dr. Jin doesn't have a stomach ache and a headache, but every time you run, you have a stomach ache, and it's time to give birth when you're pregnant in October.

"Go, go." Dr. Jin didn't bother to ask him.

Xiao Yan's eyeballs on the side twitched, "Master, I also have a stomachache."

Dr. Jin took a deep breath, and said earnestly, "Your Highness Ninth, you are still young, so don't go astray with some people, Your Majesty will see it."

Xiao Rui is upset, it's none of my business, it's none of my business!

"It really hurts my stomach." Xiao Yan rubbed his stomach with a look of pain and hatred.

"Go!" Dr. Jin had no choice but to agree.

Xiao Yan ran out of the classroom to chase Xiao Rui: "Seventh brother, wait for me, wait for me."

Dr. Jin rubbed his forehead, trying not to let himself get angry.

After leaving the Jiwen Hall, Xiao Rui glared at Xiao Yan, and shouted, "Why are you following me? I have a stomachache and went to see the doctor."

"Seventh brother, where are you going? Shall I accompany you?" Xiao Yan smiled.

Xiao Rui was helpless, knowing that he couldn't get rid of him, he could only say: "Let's go to Yingtianfu Yamen and investigate the case!"

"Really? So excited!" Xiao Yan growled.
