Princess Minhui temporarily stayed in another small courtyard next to Xu Xing's house. If it weren't for the fact that Prince Mu Shengyan of Zhenxi had some friendship with him and wanted to give the other party some face, he would not have cared at all.

Princess Minhui hadn't seen Xu Xing since she came out of the restaurant. She was humiliated in Jinxiufang and was so angry that she smashed everything in the house: "This princess wants to see him! Why hasn't he come yet?"

Tingzhu stood aside without moving, his face full of embarrassment and fear, not knowing how to speak to his master.

In Tingzhu's opinion, the Prince of Weiguo didn't want to pay any attention to them at all, and his attitude was so cold that he ignored them directly.

If they had not met by chance at the city gate and the princess had not lied to them, they would probably not have even seen each other.

"Princess, there is an imperial envoy in Qingchuan County and several officials have died mysteriously. I'm afraid things are not peaceful. How about we leave this troubled place as soon as possible? I am really worried about your safety."

As for the Jiang Hao today, I am no match for her. If I meet someone stronger, it will be difficult to guarantee the safety of my master.

No one expected that this small Qingchuan County actually had many hidden talents, and even the adopted daughter of a criminal official had unfathomable martial arts skills.

Tingzhu was worried that Princess Minhui might have an accident here, so he wanted to urge her to leave early.

"What are you afraid of?"

Princess Minhui didn't care at all. What did killing an official have to do with her?

Could it be possible that the abandoned girl from the Jiang family could do anything to her?

Ting Zhu hesitated to speak, knowing that persuasion would not work, so she stopped trying: "Then I will go and ask again."

Minhui was also tired and her anger had mostly subsided: "This county lord wants to take a bath and change clothes."

"Yes."

……

After Xu Xing returned home, he went into the study, took a dagger and played with it repeatedly. His face was indifferent and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Zhang Zhongjing was standing at the door. When he heard Zhuifeng's words, he stretched his neck inside the door and shook his head at Zhuifeng.

"Princess Minhui is also difficult to deal with. She insisted on seeing the prince, and the people over there were helpless."

The princess of the Zhenxi Palace and the apple of the Zhenxi King's eye, this identity is enough to make many people look up to her.

"You didn't see the attitude of the prince. He has already met with the Zhenxi Palace. If you ask me..."

"Chasing the wind."

Inside the house, Xu Xing suddenly spoke, and Zhang Zhongjing's voice suddenly stopped abruptly when he was frightened.

Zhuifeng glanced at Zhang Zhongjing, who winked at him, and he hurried into the study.

"Sir."

Xu Xing had already put away the dagger and sat behind the desk: "Any news from Governor Ke?"

Four officials in Yuzhou Prefecture died overnight, and the news was reported back to Kyoto as a major case.

Even though they knew what was going on, they still had to let Conan Xin take over. As for whether the case could be solved, that was Governor Ke's problem.

Conan Xin had never made any mistakes in his political achievements and had always been an honest official without any stain on his reputation. However, his integrity in this life was completely ruined by just a few thousand taels of silver.

This shows how lucky it is to marry a virtuous wife.

However, Governor Ko was not lucky.

Not killing him is already a break, and letting him take over can also be considered a punishment for him.

"We have sent people to Qingchuan County."

Zhuifeng replied truthfully.

Xu Xing nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "The day after tomorrow morning, have Old Zhang and Jing Lei escort the prisoner back to Beijing."

"what?"

Zhuifeng was very surprised: "Prince, what about us?"

"Pretend to leave with them."

Zhuifeng understood instantly and responded quickly: "Yes, I will arrange it immediately."
