The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 18: Unbelievable Clues Emerging

As one of the four major happy events, the bridal chamber wedding night should be a festive and exciting day, but Xiao Rui felt that Xu Haoran, the groom's official, looked strange, and even forced a smile.

Could it be a forced marriage?

Xiao Rui couldn't help but guess the bloody plot.

"Xiao Jiu, do you think this young master of the Xu family has an awkward smile on his face, does he look down on our cousin? He looks reluctant." Xiao Rui asked.

Xiao Yan nodded, and said: "Really, it looks listless. But it shouldn't be, I heard that Xu Haoran and Xiao Qingqing met each other, and the elders of the two sides started to discuss the important matter of getting married. For this reason, Master Xu did not hesitate to ask His Majesty Request an order to transfer Xu Haoran back from Luzhou Mansion, and demote himself to the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

"Oh." Xiao Rui nodded.

Suddenly, he came to his senses and asked, "Where did you say he was transferred from?"

"Luzhou! What's the matter? It seems that he was appointed as the general judge of Luzhou, and he has been an official of the sixth rank at a young age." Xiao Yan explained.

"Such a coincidence?" Xiao Rui muttered to himself.

Xiao Yan looked at him flickeringly, and asked: "Seventh Brother, what's the matter?"

"Oh, it's okay." Xiao Rui came back to his senses and agreed. Then he looked at Xu Haoran and began to think wildly in his heart.

No way, who told him to mention the key word Luzhou.

With the end of the visiting ceremony, the wedding banquet officially began.

After three rounds of Xia Huangjiu, he returned to the palace. He is here, no one can even think about eating happily.

Xu Xianyang went to see Emperor Xia off in person, and Xu Haoran, accompanied by Xu Xianda, first came to the main hall to toast.

He first toasted several princes and four cabinet ministers, and then came to the prince's table.

They toasted one by one again, and soon it was Xiao Rui's turn.

On a whim, Xiao Rui took the wine that Xu Haoran brought up, and said in a low voice, "Congratulations Mr. Xu, I almost couldn't drink your wedding wine. Fortunately, Master Wei of Yingtianfu mentioned your marriage."

Xiao Yan who was on the side was eating food, and was stunned on the spot when he heard this, thinking that Brother Seven was trying to make trouble by opening his eyes and talking nonsense, so he quickly listened to it.

Xu Haoran's smile froze, and he subconsciously asked: "Your Highness is going to Yingtian Mansion... If there is something to deal with, I am willing to help."

Xiao Rui said: "It's nothing serious. You also know that a murder case happened in the capital recently. Five people died, and one baby was still in its infancy. Hey, the case I reported, of course I should be concerned..."

When talking, Xiao Rui stared at Xu Haoran, but was surprised to find that his eyes were flickering, and the hand holding the wine trembled, almost spilling it, but it was quickly covered by a blooming smile.

"Oh, I heard that too." Xu Haoran said, "Your Highness, I respect you."

After speaking, he raised his head and drank before leaving.

Xiao Rui grabbed his wrist suddenly and said with a smile, "I hope the deceased didn't affect your happy event."

Xu Haoran's eyes met his, and they were staggered in an instant. He smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, please sit down, Your Highness."

Xiao Rui sat down, Xu Haoran toasted Xiao Yan, and quickly left the main hall.

Xiao Yan saw that Seventh Brother was still staring at Xu Haoran's leaving back, and immediately asked in a low voice: "What's wrong, Seventh Brother? Do you suspect that he has something to do with the murder?"

Xiao Rui glanced around and said in a low voice, "Let's talk after we go out."

The two immediately sat upright, eating and drinking.

After the wedding banquet, the guests left one after another.

Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan bid farewell to the brothers and went back by car.

On the carriage, Xiao Yan couldn't wait a long time ago: "Seventh brother, do you suspect that Xu Haoran has something to do with the murder case? How is it possible? You can't get anything to do with it?"

"You said he was transferred from Luzhou, so I thought about it, so I tested it. Who knows, the result of the test surprised me." Xiao Rui said in a deep voice: "You have also seen Xu Haoran's performance. , If you say that he has no ghosts, would you believe it? Besides, this matter is quite weird, and the clues are unbelievable."

Xiao Rui suspected that it was the system's fault, but he didn't feel like it. His intuition told him that there must be something wrong with it.

Xiao Yan nodded, Xu Haoran's performance just now appeared in his mind, did it seem to have nothing to do with the performance he should have? He was upset and his hands were shaking, but he managed to stay calm.

"This matter is a bit outrageous." Xiao Yan couldn't help but said.

Xiao Rui smiled: "What's the matter, are you afraid?"

"Afraid of a ball." Xiao Yan insisted: "Seventh brother, what do you think?"

"Check first and then talk." Xiao Rui immediately said righteously: "You are not allowed to tell anyone about this matter, you know and I know, did you hear?"

"Understood." Xiao Yan nodded repeatedly.

On the second day, Xiao Rui sent Gao Quan out to investigate the servants and guards of the Xu family.

He went for a full day before returning in a hurry.

"Why have you been here for so long?" Xiao Rui asked.

Gao Quandao: "I was afraid of scaring the snake away, so I asked a manager of the Xu family to get him drunk and stuffed him with a lot of money before I inquired about the news."

"Oh? Is there any valuable clue?" Xiao Rui asked hastily.

Gao Quandao: "By asking the steward, I didn't hear him mention that there was any outsider living in Xu's house ten days ago. However, there is a clue to what His Highness asked me to specifically ask. During this period, someone in Xu's mansion did take a long vacation. House."

"Who?" Xiao Rui sat up straight and asked quickly.

Gao Quandao: "Xu Xianyang's confidant Cao Guanshi, I heard that he suddenly asked for sick leave more than ten days ago, and he hasn't seen anyone since."

"Huh?" Xiao Rui was startled, why Xu Xianyang was involved again.

Could it be that not only Xu Haoran was involved, but also his father Xu Xianyang, the Minister of Industry and Bachelor of Wenhuadian, also participated?

"Fuck, big one."

Xiao Rui also suddenly felt that there was a scourge in front of him.

Gou Ri's system really won't give up until he kills himself.

"Check! Find out where Guanshi Cao is and find his people!" Xiao Rui gritted his teeth and said harshly.

"Yes, Your Highness." Gao Quan acted immediately.

The twelfth day after the murder was discovered.

Gao Quan tried his best to inquire, and finally found the clues of Cao Guanshi. He returned to his hometown, a village in Liuhe County, Yingtian Prefecture.

It was thanks to Gao Quan's ingenuity that he was able to find the trace. He directly found Guanshi Cao's brothel lover. The information I got from her, otherwise, I would not have been able to find it if I just asked.

At the same time, Xiao Rui also knew the shortcoming of not having enough manpower, and kicking Gao Quan alone was not the solution.

After getting Guanshi Cao's position, Xiao Rui couldn't sit still, and immediately took Xiao Yan out to hunt, quietly went to Guanshi Cao's hometown, and asked Gao Quan to enter the village to check. He happened to meet Cao Guanshi who was strolling around in the village.

I got sick?

His face was full of red light, and he had a fart disease.

That is, there are scratches on the face and neck, which have already formed scars.

Gao Quan quickly left the village and joined Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan.

"How, how?" Xiao Yan asked immediately.

Gao Quan looked at Xiao Rui.

"See?" Xiao Rui asked.

Gao Quandao: "I saw it. I was walking around. It doesn't look like a sick person. There are scratches on my face and neck. Check the time, and it can be matched with the case!"

"It really is him!" Xiao Yan said in shock.

Xiao Rui also took a deep breath and let it out.

"So, what's the motive?" Xiao Rui's eyes were burning.

"Let's go to Luzhou!" Xiao Yan said suddenly.

"Huh?" Xiao Yan's heart moved, but he shook his head. The prince can't leave the capital without permission.

"Gao Quan, you go!" Xiao Rui had no one, so he could only let Gao Quan go.

"What about Guanshi Cao? Arrest him?" Xiao Yan asked.

Xiao Rui hesitated.
