The Evil Mistress's Killing Crazy Daily

"Ah."

Hearing Xiao Chongjing say this, Xiao Qinyu felt relieved.

He glanced at Yin Xiaorou and saw her leaning on the chair, looking tired and sleepy. He couldn't help but quickly glance out the window.

Seeing the sky getting light outside the window, Xiao Qinyu realized that the night was over.

Thinking of the fact that Yin Xiaorou was pregnant and had been running around all night in shock, Xiao Qinyu felt a pain in his heart and quickly got up to say goodbye.

After leaving Yaochun Garden, he thought that it was almost time for his shift, so he simply left the General's Mansion and rode towards the Dali Temple...

In the Dali Temple.

As soon as Lu Yitong started his shift early in the morning, he learned from the patrolmen everything that had happened last night.

Knowing that Xiao Qinyu had made another achievement only a few days after taking office, Lu Yitong was secretly surprised and regretful at the same time.

If he had known that his brother-in-law was so capable, he should have tried harder to please him.

If he had been able to take Xiao Qinyu down earlier, he wouldn't be staring blankly like a fool today...

Lu Yitong felt very upset when he thought that he had missed such a great achievement in just one night.

Fearing that he would miss the next time, he waited at the gate of Dali Temple. As soon as he saw Xiao Qinyu riding over, he immediately smiled and stepped forward to congratulate him.

He lowered his voice and said, "Second brother, I heard that you made another great contribution yesterday. This is really cause for celebration, cause for celebration..."

"where……"

Xiao Qinyu was a little embarrassed, "It's just a coincidence..."

"Eh--"

Lu Yitong's face was full of disapproval.

He nudged Xiao Qinyu with his elbow and praised him in a low voice with excitement, "Second brother, do you know how long it took us in the Dali Temple to catch those assassins?

It's been several months...

In the past few months, we at the Dali Temple have been trying hard to find those killers, but you found them as soon as you arrived... Not only did you find them, you also caught them all in one fell swoop..."

"Second brother..."

Lu Yitong poked Xiao Qinyu again with admiration on his face.

He quietly gave a thumbs up, and his smile seemed to be more excited than Xiao Qinyu himself, "Second brother, you are really capable!"

"I……"

Xiao Qinyu smiled and touched his head embarrassedly.

As the saying goes, flattery never wears out, and this was the first time he had to deal with such a torrent of flattery.

Feeling both shy and proud, he said a few humble words with his cheekbones raised, then quickly slipped back to his office as if escaping.

Locking himself in the study, he secretly enjoyed himself for a long time.

After finally calming down a little, he took out a memorial and wrote it down...

thump -- thump -- thump --

There was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

Xiao Qinyu frowned, put down the brush, walked forward and opened the door.

When he opened the door and saw the person coming, he was surprised, "Master Xu, it's you? Come in quickly..."

"Ah."

Xu Wanchou nodded and walked in.

Taking the hot tea handed to him by Xiao Qinyu, he smiled and congratulated him first.

Then he took a sip of tea and changed the subject to ask Xiao Qinyu about business, "Sir Xiao, I heard that there seemed to be a woman with those assassins yesterday?"

"Yes, there was a woman."

Xiao Qinyu nodded, smiled and took the initiative to explain, "She is my...my eldest brother's concubine. Because she was pregnant recently, she wanted to buy some festive materials yesterday evening, but she was caught by the killers and almost lost her life.

Those assassins knew that she was my brother’s concubine, and that she was pregnant with my eldest brother’s only child, so they wanted to use her as a hostage to avenge my brother and make him childless…”

At this point, Xiao Qinyu sighed, and said to Xu Wanchou with some fear: "Fortunately, this incident happened to coincide with our action, otherwise, she would have been in great danger yesterday..."

"is it?"

Xu Wanchou lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then asked Xiao Qinyu curiously, "She was pregnant, and she went to buy fabric alone?"

"She has always been low-key and doesn't like to make a big fuss..."

Xiao Qinyu was explaining casually when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He frowned, looked at Xu Wanchou with some dissatisfaction and said, "Master Xu, what do you mean by asking these questions? Could it be that you suspect that my Xiao family is colluding with the assassin? To murder His Majesty?"

"Nothing, just routine."

Seeing that Xiao Qinyu seemed to be somewhat resistant, Xu Wanchou smiled and comforted him, "These details must be written down in the file. I must make sure nothing is left out."

"Is that so?" Xiao Qinyu doubted.

"Of course." Xu Wanchou nodded with a smile.

"Oh……"

Xiao Qinyu suddenly realized.

He thought that since he was upright, he had nothing to fear, so he nodded frankly, "Okay, go ahead and ask."

"it is good."

Xu Wanchou nodded.

He recalled the details he had learned from the patrolman, paused, and asked Xiao Qinyu again: "I heard that last night on the rooftop, when someone was about to shoot an arrow to kill the concubine, a big assassin blocked the arrow for her. Is that true?"

"What shield?"

Xiao Qinyu frowned, dissatisfied with this statement, and corrected, "In the situation at that time, after the killer used the hostages to force us back, he clearly turned around and tried to escape...

He was shot by chance when he turned to run away. What does it have to do with Xiaorou?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Qinyu frowned.

He looked at Xu Wanchou suspiciously and angrily, and asked, "Did you arrange the crossbowman yesterday? What happened to him? How could he shoot arrows at the hostages?

If the big guy hadn't turned around by chance, Xiaorou might have died!"

"That crossbowman was not arranged by me."

"how is this possible?"

Xiao Qinyu obviously didn't believe it.

Thinking that Xu Wanchou was being timid, he sneered and reminded him, "Only the two of us knew about the action last night. The sudden appearance of the crossbowman there was not arranged by you, so who else could have arranged it?

Did I arrange this?"

"Who knows?"

Xu Wanchou smiled and took a sip of tea, with some confusion in his eyes.

Although he already had a suspect in his mind, he always felt that it was not the right person.

After all, Jun Yizheng had promised him so solemnly.

Moreover, with Jun Yizhen's ability, if he wanted to kill the big guy, he could do it himself. There was no need to ask Xiao Qinyu to do it.

Unless, he has other purposes...

And that concubine named Xiaorou always gave him a weird feeling...

If what he thought was true, the concubine was in cahoots with the killers last night, then what was her purpose in hiding in the Xiao family?

Why did the Third Prince specifically ask Xiao Qinyu to kill the concubine's companion?

Want to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between two tigers?

Want that concubine to hate Xiao Qinyu?
