Chapter 181 Fireworks Explosion Case
When Lu Qingfan was away from the capital, Prince An seemed to be the guardian of Yun Xi's master and servant. Wherever they went, Prince An would follow them.
Later, somehow, there was another shadow among the flowers.
The initial awkwardness between Master Yunxi and his servants turned into a habit and they simply let them go.
Princess Yuanyue's Mansion.
Yun Xi checked the pulse of Xiao Changsheng who was asleep on the bed, then wrote a prescription on the spot and patiently told Princess Yuanyue:
"How to decoct and take it is already written in the prescription. At the end of the dog days, children are more likely to suffer from heatstroke. As long as they don't be too greedy for cold, and eat in an appropriate amount of hot and cold, it is not difficult to adjust."
Princess Yuanyue took the prescription, nodded and said, "Thank you for making this trip specifically for Changsheng."
"It's a simple task, but the princess doesn't want to be seen outside." Yun Xi smiled softly.
Princess Yuanyue handed the prescription to the old woman, asked her to stare at the decoction, and then went out with Master Yunxi.
In the courtyard, Prince An and Hua Jianying were sitting in the pavilion playing chess.
In just one breath, Gu Changqing, the prince of Anjun, shouted in a loud voice: "No, no, no, I won't leave like this!"
"Your Majesty, you've already ruined your son five times in this round with less than half a cup of tea." Hua Jianying said with a good temper.
"What's wrong five times? You can play again if you don't think about it!" Prince An was lying and immediately changed the place.
Hua Jianying smiled helplessly, and finally let Prince An do it again.
Princess Yuanyue covered her lips when she saw this: "What's going on with these two people?"
"Princess Princess, you don't know that Prince An just met Mr. Hua, and the two of them had a fight in our yard! One suspected that the other was a murderer and an assassin, and the other thought that the other was a scoundrel... They almost destroyed our yard.
It’s been demolished!”
Qing Guo spoke quickly and vividly described how Hua Jianying and Prince An "didn't get to know each other without fighting" in the past few days, and how they worked together to secretly protect their young lady.
After hearing the end, Princess Yuanyue seemed to be laughing so hard that she couldn't stand up straight: "You are our treasure, it is right for more than one person to take care of you."
Yun Xi originally thought that Princess Yuanyue would think that she, a white-clothed man, acted so arrogantly, and might have to punish her for being "disrespectful", but she didn't expect Princess Yuan Yue to speak for her instead, and only praised this arrangement as a very appropriate one.
"Yun Xi is not worthy of it. It's just because of Mr. Lu's care that he can receive such preferential treatment."
"We all know your abilities, so you deserve preferential treatment," Princess Yuanyue said disapprovingly: "You don't have to be too modest."
While they were talking, Hua Jianying and Prince An stopped playing chess and came together to chat. Prince An talked nonsense all over the place, making Princess Yuanyue smile; Hua Jianying was shy and kind, but
There were many witty remarks, and for a while, the atmosphere of chatting was very good.
While the five of them were talking together, someone reported that someone from the Metropolitan Procuratorate had invited Yun Xi to come.
"Look, what did this princess say?" Princess Yuanyue didn't try to persuade Yun Xi to stay, so she forced them to leave with a banknote as the medical fee, and then smiled and sent them away.
"Princess Princess, your Majesty will come to see you later!" Prince An was not afraid of being displeased and pretended to be reluctant to leave before leaving.
"Let's go!" Princess Yuanyue deliberately pretended to have a headache and waved her handkerchief to drive people away.
On the way from the backyard to the main entrance, Yun Xi mentioned that since the last time they jointly supervised the murder case of a major official, the Metropolitan Procuratorate came to see her several times: either Uncle Zheng wanted to discuss with her, or there were some corpses.
There is no way to collect evidence for the difficult problem, so ask her to think of some ideas.
Yun Xi didn't refuse.
Lord Ran was somewhat unhappy at first. Knowing that Lord Chao Zhong and Lu Qingfan's parents were old acquaintances, he turned a blind eye.
Today, the Metropolitan Procuratorate came to investigate. Yun Xi thought it was just an ordinary case as usual.
"Since we are going to the Yamen, I will not accompany you," Hua Jianying said goodbye politely on the way out of the Princess's Mansion, and bowed her hands politely to everyone.
"Let's go slowly without seeing him off." Prince An watched Hua Jianying walk away and couldn't help but said, "This guy is a gentleman."
After spending a few days together, Prince An also had some appreciation for Hua Jianying.
Yun Xi nodded: "Master Hua takes good care of us."
Just don't mention this matter. As soon as you mention this matter, King An's heart suddenly goes off alarm bells, "He doesn't have thoughts about you, does he?"
Darling, you can't look after Yunxi for Lu Qingfan and find another suitor, otherwise he will die!
Prince An did not explain what his "thoughts" were, but Yun Xi understood: "How could it be? Young Master Hua just treats me as a girl."
There was a friendship on the same ship before, and the incident with Shield Er happened... After Hua Jianying knew that Yun Xi was almost assassinated at the ironmaking yard, she wanted him to take more care of Lu Qingfan when he was away.
Prince An compared Hua Jianying's behavior before and after, and found that there was nothing ambiguous about it, so he felt relieved: "Well, it seems pretty good to have the owner of Wuji Tower as your brother!"
Yun Xi couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this. How could Prince An always try to take advantage of others?
While talking, Yun Xi saw the clerk sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and next to him stood Master Yu Zhi of Dali Temple whom he had not seen for a long time.
"How come Mr. Yu is here?" Prince An opened his mouth with a strong smell of gunpowder. He obviously knew that Yu Zhi had had some thoughts about Yun Xi that he shouldn't have done.
Yu Zhi's mouth felt bitter and his heart felt sour.
It is true that Mr. Lu is far away in Beimang and has to find someone to look after Miss Yun.
How could he be the one who took advantage of others' danger?
"Well done, Prince An. This fact is an important matter for the Third Division, so I have to ask you two to come."
The last time I saw Mr. Yu looking so serious was when he was killed in Luo Qingfeng Alley.
"Please give me some advice, sir." Yun Xi looked solemn after hearing this, and agreed to go with them.
Yu Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Yun Wu is a great righteous man. Please come quickly! We'll talk on the way."
Master Yun Xi got on the carriage, followed closely by Yu Zhi, and the clerk from the Metropolitan Procuratorate also climbed up slowly.
Not to be outdone, Prince An also got in, making the originally narrow carriage even more cramped and crowded.
"What's wrong? You are allowed to ride in the carriage, but I am not allowed to ride? I am the 'right minister of the Ministry of Punishment' in name only!"
Prince An stared at the documents written by Yu Zhi and the Procuratorate. If these two people dared to say even half a word "no", he would dare to use force!
It turns out that Prince An also knew that he was an errand in name only...
"I don't dare, Prince An is just sitting here." Yu Zhi couldn't laugh or cry, swallowed the rest of his words, and took the initiative to talk about a major case that happened last night.
Just after midnight yesterday, an explosion occurred at an inn outside Beijing.
The explosion caused a violent fire, disturbing the nearby shops and people who were resting. After everyone hurriedly put out the fire, they discovered that all the students who looked like students in the house at the edge were dead.
"The student was killed in the bombing?" King An noticed something fishy as soon as he heard this: "This case was not originally assigned to your Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, right?"
When Yun Xi heard this, she looked at Prince An in surprise.
He forgot to hide his stupidity.
Prince An seemed to react after being glanced at by Yun Xi, and hurriedly coughed: "You don't know something. If a special student comes to Beijing, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites will get the news first."
"What Prince An said is true. He did get the news from these two departments."
Those people had sensitive identities and were students from the Jiangnan area. Before the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites had figured out how to deal with these two groups of people, it became an explosion.
"Eight students were killed in the inn, and no one survived. The violent flames after the explosion ignited the surrounding furniture shelves, which started the fire."
What was originally an issue of resettling Jiangnan students with sensitive identities turned into a major case of death by explosion.
Now it gets tricky.
The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites took the lead in explaining the matter to the Shuntian Prefecture. When the Shuntian Prefecture heard that Jiangnan scholars were involved, how could they take over? They withdrew with their officers, not forgetting to report the news to Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
"Xun Yanqing is this piece of shit!"
King An was so angry that he was about to stand up, but he forgot that he was still in the carriage. He hit his forehead with a loud bang, and the pain made his handsome face distort.
"I love you so much..."
Yun Xi: "..."
It hurt her to hear it.
Qingguo took out a peeled white egg from his arms, "How about you take this and rub it?"
Prince An was startled. He looked at Qingguo's sleeves and then stared at Qingguo's waist for a long time: "Where did you hide all the food?"
No, isn't the focus now on the case?
Yu Zhi rubbed his sore temples. He knew that he would not be able to act in a serious manner where Prince An was present.
"Master Yu, just keep talking." Yun Xi allowed Prince An, who was rubbing his head, to explore the secret of Qing Guozang's food. Her attention was still on the case.
"But because it was not an ordinary explosion, you want me to do an autopsy?"
Finally someone reliable.
