"Ding dong..."

The system issued a task again.

At such a tense moment, he still cared about the task?

But Xiao Rui didn't care to check it, he looked at Xu Xianyang calmly, and said in a heavy tone: "Is your thin face more valuable than five lives?"

"Very good, very good." Xu Xianyang smiled instead of anger: "I didn't expect the Seventh Prince to be so courageous and hide his secrets. I admire that. If that's the case, let's see the Seventh Prince's brilliant move."

After finishing speaking, Xu Xianyang stood up, shook his sleeves, and walked straight away.

Xiao Rui drank his drink, although he knew that offending Xu Xianyang would be a fatal trouble for him, but he really couldn't open his eyes and talk nonsense, regardless of the five tragic lives.

"Master Xu seems very upset." Xiao Feng asked: "What charades are you two playing? What about face and life?"

"Really? He might be anxious." Xiao Rui smiled.

Not long after, the steward of Xu's mansion said that the cabinet had important matters to deal with and had already entered the palace. Xiao Rui and Xiao Feng bid farewell and left.

Hearing that Xiao Rui and the others had left, Xu Xianyang stayed in the study with a gloomy expression.

"My lord, do you want to move Xiao Rui?" A man's voice came from the shadows.

Xu Xianyang was full of murderous intent: "A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Since he wants to provoke me, let's play with him. After all, he is a prince. An assassination will arouse the anger of Emperor Xia. Emperor Xia is unpredictable. It is best not to alarm him. Go, send masters to his residence and bury something."

"Yes, my lord!"

...

Xiao Rui got into the carriage before closing his eyes to check the task.

"New task: to avenge the dead, time: 30 days. Completion of the descending value +10. This task is mandatory, and failure depends on the effort. Points will be deducted. If not performed, 90 points will be deducted."

"really!"

Xiao Rui knew that the system would definitely continue to solve the case by itself, and return the deceased to innocence. Its urine nature would never let him and Xu Xianyang get along with each other.

Xiao Rui checked his existing information:

Name: Xiao Rui

Status: Seventh Prince of the Great Xia Kingdom

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

Fall value: 90/100

"It's finally the match point. After completing this task, I can see what the system can give me." Xiao Rui was a little excited.

It's just that, right now, she's breaking up with Xu Xianyang, and what's waiting for her is Xu Xianyang's fierce revenge. A third-rank cabinet bachelor and concurrently the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Xiao Rui thinks that he is not very skilled and has a lot of courage!

The good mood disappeared immediately.

"System, are you trying to kill me on purpose?" Xiao Rui protested.

system:? ?

However, how to redress the wrongdoing for the deceased? I have no evidence.

The more Xiao Rui thought about it, the worse it became. This is because he bought gasoline. Looking back, hey, I don't have a car!

"I'm going to seek Xu Xianyang's surrender now, will he believe me? I really need to be flexible, and make false claims with him, I have a temper that can't be rubbed in my eyes."

Xiao Rui shook his head mockingly, but he was full of ups and downs in his heart.

The next day, at noon.

Xiao Yan rushed to the mansion suddenly.

"Seventh brother, it's not good, Guanshi Cao is dead." Xiao Yan said out of breath.

"Dead?" Xiao Rui glared and raised his tone by three points.

Xiao Yan nodded and said, "After I checked Cao Guan's affairs last time, I secretly sent someone to monitor him for fear that he would run away. I didn't expect to drown in the river this morning. All the arresters in Liuhe County went there. The autopsy result was that he drowned. Death."

"Fuck!" Xiao Rui yelled, he really underestimated Xu Xianyang's ruthlessness, and immediately silenced him. Once Guanshi Cao died, the murder case of the Wang family would be even more headless.

"Brother Seven, what should we do? Let the real murderer get away with it?" Xiao Yan said angrily.

Xiao Rui sighed: "I don't have a clue now, oh, yes, I went to see Xu Xianyang yesterday, he already knew that I was investigating the murder case."

"What?" Xiao Yan was stunned, unable to speak for a while.

"I knew that you shouldn't be asked to see Xu Haoran. Look, something has happened." Xiao Yan said anxiously, "Should I report this to my father?"

"No. The crime of slandering the cabinet scholars is not light. Even if we are the princes, we will be the target of public criticism. Don't be nervous, I guess Xu Xianyang would not dare to deal with us blatantly." Xiao Rui comforted.

"I hope so." Xiao Yan sighed.

At the same time, Zhou Wang Xiao Mingying of the clan mansion entered the palace to face the saint.

Xiao Mingying, the king of Zhou, assumed the position of the patriarchal order of the clan mansion. He was in charge of the royal family's affiliation, revised and edited the jade certificate, laid the Zhaomu, prefaced the rank and salary, and the Li faction.

In layman's terms, the Ministry of Punishment has no right to interrogate people who have committed a crime, and the clan's government must come forward to hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment.

In fact, this department has the intention of protecting the royal family.

Of course, if you really committed a crime and were imprisoned in the clan's mansion, you don't want to live a happy life.

Hearing that Xiao Mingying asked to see him, Emperor Xia was a little surprised.

"Why is he here? Has there been any sacrifice recently?" Emperor Xia asked.

The serving Eunuch Hai replied: "Your Majesty, no, and the memorial presented by the Ministry of Rites did not mention it. Is there someone else who asked King Zhou to see him?"

"Since it's not a major matter of offering sacrifices, if we can let him come in person, it seems that another member of the royal family has committed a major event." Emperor Xia put down his pen and said, "Let him come in."

Eunuch Hai went to invite Xiao Mingying into the palace.

"Your brother sees my emperor." Xiao Mingying said with a bow.

Emperor Xia smiled and said, "Come here, give me a seat."

After Xiao Mingying sat down, Emperor Xia asked: "You entered the palace in a hurry, but is there something urgent?"

Xiao Mingying said: "Yes, Your Majesty, there is indeed a difficult matter in my hand, and I dare not deal with it without authorization, so I am here to ask Your Majesty for instructions."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Emperor Xia asked.

Xiao Mingying said: "I went to the clan's mansion this morning and received a letter of accusation. Please take a look at it."

Eunuch Hai submitted a report letter to Emperor Xia.

Emperor Xia opened the letter paper, and when he saw the content on the paper, his brows raised immediately.

Eunuch Hai gave a vague glance, his pupils shrinking.

"The Seventh Prince, Xiao Rui, secretly hid the voodoo doll in his residence, and cursed His Majesty's dragon body."

A simple sentence, but it is a sharp knife that kills without blood.

Today's Emperor Xia hates the art of witchcraft, and strictly prohibits dolls from cursing.

"Can you find out who sent the report letter?" Emperor Xia asked.

Xiao Mingying shook her head, and said: "Not found. In fact, just relying on a letter, there is no basis. I shouldn't bother His Majesty, but His Majesty Seventh lives in His Majesty's house, and His Majesty is also involved in this matter. Your Majesty Brother is worried that if this matter is not taken seriously, if the rumor spreads all over the capital and there are discussions everywhere, it will be out of control at that time."

Xiao Mingying said it mildly, but in fact he was more worried that Xiao Rui lived in Xiao Feng's mansion, but was framed for burying a witch doll, did this involve a dispute between the princes?

Emperor Xia put down the letter paper and said with a smile: "Since someone deliberately reported it, the clan's mansion will go to check to see if they can find the witch doll. If they really find it, then bring Xiaoqi into the palace and investigate according to law."

"Yes!" Xiao Mingying replied, and then went out of the palace to investigate.
