Chapter 225 Ye Xiaoye Investigates a Case

The one who sneaked into the Buddhist temple and brought out the bloody book that night was Lu Zhu, the maid who helped Jiang Xinyu marry Xiao Yuan.

Li knew that if she asked a maid to file a complaint in this case, the case would most likely be intercepted.

This was her only chance and she couldn't take any risks. The safest way was to hand the blood letter to Jiang Xinyu.

There was indeed no friendship between them, but she was sure that Jiang Xinyu hated Zhao Chengye.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Rather than betting on the fairness of the government, she would rather bet on Jiang Xinyu.

At the time of the marriage exchange, time was too tight and she had no time to investigate anything further.

After the incident was over, her confidant asked the Jiang family servants for the truth.

No wonder a young girl would give up marrying the prince of the Duke's Mansion and marry an old eunuch. It seems that she did it to save her life.

Li admired Jiang Xinyu very much. It was not a stupid girl that she could think of cooperating with her to exchange brides at such an urgent time.

It was impossible for Jiang Xinyu not to feel resentful when her fiancé wanted to marry her and then kill her before marrying her half-sister for her dowry.

Now, Governor Xiao is at the peak of his career, and the water in the river is rising.

If she handed over a handle, she believed that Jiang Xinyu would take the opportunity to kill Zhao Chengye to vent her anger.

As long as that beast dies, Mingyue's revenge will be avenged and she can die with peace of mind.

Lu Zhu quietly slipped out of the Li family with the blood-stained shirt, followed her memory to find the Governor's Mansion, hid in the corner and waited until dawn.

Fortunately, Ye Xiao had not moved yet at that time, so when he heard that someone came to ask for help, his stepmother actually met him.

Luzhu was quite smart and knew that the young master from the Li and Zhao families might not take her seriously.

She said that she was the maid who helped Jiang Xinyu and Governor Xiao get married that day.

The person who was killed this time was the one who was supposed to marry Governor Xiao but was later married to Prince Zhao.

Her husband was afraid of the power of the Duke's Mansion and refused to stand up for the young lady. He also poisoned the lady and made her mute. The lady was so helpless that she asked her to ask the Governor's wife for help.

Her words really aroused Ye Xiao's interest. He asked someone to keep her under guard in the mansion first, and then he took the blood-stained clothes into the palace to find Jiang Xinyu.

Jiang Xinyu looked at the blood letter written by Li and smiled coldly. Naturally, she let her eldest son investigate as he pleased.

To be honest, she almost forgot about the Jiang family and Zhao Chengye, but since they came to her door, it would be nice to take some revenge.

Revenge takes many forms, and Jiang Xinyu likes to divide them according to the level of danger.

Anyone who can threaten her will be killed as soon as possible, no matter how big the grudge is, leaving no hidden dangers.

She can only use her powerless rage, which has no killing power, to relieve her boredom.

Take the Jiang family for example.

Not only was her own family in a mess, but she also had to watch her become more and more complacent. She didn't even have the desire to cause trouble for someone like her.

I feel happy knowing that they are not doing well. If they are doing well someday, I can just move my fingers.

The main point is to make them suffer by having their flesh cut by a blunt knife repeatedly.

As for Zhao Chengye, Jiang Xinyu would probably think of asking someone to cause trouble for him when she is really free.

But I really can’t remember it recently.

Jin Zekang gave her the key to the old emperor's private vault, and she was busy exploring the new world.

It was truly a new world. It was not filled with porcelain vases, gold and silver ornaments, or jewelry, but rather it was the old emperor’s collection of several large boxes of exquisite erotica and pornographic books.

During those few days, Governor Xiao even slacked off in his work and even secretly drank tiger penis soup.

After Jin Zekang found out, he shamelessly insisted on taking half of it, and even said that if he didn't give it to him, he would eat it all alone next time he found something good.

Jiang Xin gritted her teeth and turned around to tell Xie Zhuojin that Zekang missed a woman.

The erotic paintings he took away included not only the dragon and yang versions, but also the male and female versions. It's hard to say what he had in mind.

Her suggestion was to let Xie Zhuo consolidate his position in the family.

Let Jin Zekang know the good of men and he will no longer think about women.

Now that King Zekang of Jin was going to be the regent, he did not return to Prince An's mansion to live but moved directly to the front court.

Xie Zhuo naturally lived with him, and his house was only a passage away from the harem.

Xie Zhuo certainly wouldn't go to the rear palace, but Jiang Xinyu would go to the front palace because she was too idle.

Jin Zekang and Xiao Yuan were both too busy, and without either of them knowing, they ended up getting together.

Xie Zhuo is young and funny. He found it very funny when he first heard Jiang Xinyu swearing at people.

Jiang Xinyu was also a nice person to get along with. When they had nothing to do, the two of them could chat about gossip and crickets while eating melon seeds.

It's not unreasonable for Jin Zekang to be wary of Jiang Xinyu's contact with his Azhuo, but it's a pity that he couldn't stop it despite his strict defenses.

When the little emperor was off duty, Jiang Xinyu would play with him, tell him some modern philosophical stories, and teach him some ways to be a king.

The little emperor would take several hours to attend classes, and when Jiang Xinyu had free time, she would make a fuss in the palace.

She also liked to put on the clothes of a palace maid and run out to chat with palace maids who didn't know her.

When the old emperor was in power, all the palaces were busy vying for favor and were on high alert.

The emperor was still young and there was nothing to fight for, so all the palace servants relaxed.

No matter whether you know each other or not, you can just come and chat over some melon seeds.

Xie Zhuo also loved chatting with Jiang Xinyu and learned a lot of things from her that made Jin Zekang both happy and troubled.

Jiang Xinyu's life in the palace was colorful and comfortable. If things hadn't come knocking on her door, she really wouldn't have thought of Zhao Chengye.

After receiving instructions from his stepmother, Ye Xiao took the initiative to take on this task. He asked the Ministry of Justice to help with the trial and the Five Cities Military Department to accompany him in arresting the suspect.

Master Ye just played his cards right away, with a cold face and a half-smile on his face, which really had some of the charm of Governor Xiao.

Zhao Chengye sang and acted out the lines he knew by heart, and tearfully accused Li Mingyue of poisoning his father.

He killed someone in a fit of rage to avenge his father. If you don't believe me, you can open the coffin and perform an autopsy to find out the cause of death of Duke Ning.

Ye Xiao narrowed his eyes and stared at him coldly, and actually asked a question that had little to do with the case.

"You said that she poisoned your father to make you observe mourning because you wanted to divorce Li Mingyue and marry someone else, right?

So, which one are you going to marry?"

Zhao Chengye didn't expect that someone would ask this question and he was stuck for a moment.

The person he wanted to marry was Jiang Wanqiu, but now that his fate was uncertain, he didn't dare to say it.

In this era, a woman's reputation is extremely important. If she is involved in this matter, it is tantamount to ruining her own future.

In his current situation, there is no way Wanqiu will marry him. If her future is ruined again...

He was also afraid that Jiang Wanqiu would give up and turn against him.

When he helped Zhang Zhongyi train Yan Fei, Jiang Wanqiu knew everything and even helped.

If the disturbance were to be exposed, she might not be in any danger as she was Jiang Xinyu's biological sister, but she would definitely be targeted by that damn eunuch.

Seeing that Zhao Chengye couldn't say such a person, Ye Xiao smiled coldly.

"Is it Jiang Wanqiu, the concubine of the Jiang family?

After all, you two had an affair in the past, so it's not surprising that you rekindled your relationship.

Prince Zhao, you are right, right?

Zhao Chengye quickly shook his head in embarrassment, "Your Excellency is joking, I have nothing to do with the Second Miss Jiang.

I was originally involved with the Jiang family because I was engaged to the eldest daughter of the Jiang family.

Yes, and later...after I got married, I never went to the Jiang family again.

A woman's reputation is important, so please be careful with your words."

"What kind of reputation is there for a woman who flirts with her future brother-in-law?"

Ye Xiao gave a wicked smile, "Prince Zhao, you don't know me, right?

My name is Xiao Mo, my father is Xiao Yuan, and my mother is... Jiang Xinyu!"
