"Master Xiao, do you mean that the butler might not be dead?"
"What do you think? If this is the case, we are both being played around by your concubine."
Xiao Shizhong thought that Cui Sheng might not be reliable, and there was no need to be so decisive. The key point was this woman, who was just trying to gain something by holding a handle on him...
After understanding this, Xiao Shizhong was not so panicked. Only he and Cui Sheng knew about this matter, and there was also a housekeeper whose life or death was unknown. It was not easy to get to the bottom of the case.
The only thing we can do now is to wait and see...
"Sir, you really worry too much. We are all family. She just wants to be the prime minister's wife. If something really happens, it will be all over."
Cui Sheng also had his own little calculations in mind. As long as he could get some benefits, he was willing to be played around by this woman. Who knows, one day he would be second to none...
"Okay, Master Cui, I understand these principles. Now is not the time to fight among ourselves. If we can't find any evidence, Shuntian Prefecture will have nothing to investigate. You just need to be careful. I have an injury, so I will rest at home these days. You don't need to come to my house again."
"It has come to this, and this is the only way. Sir Xiao, take good care of your injuries. I will leave first."
Cui Sheng walked out of the door with a worried look on his face and disappeared.
…
Prince Yan's Palace.
"Little Stick, are you sure you want the haunted house?"
"Your Highness, I'm sure it's not haunted. Even if it is, the female corpses in the dry well should thank Your Highness. If it weren't for Your Highness recommending this house to me, they wouldn't be able to get justice, but at least they would have been wandering ghosts in the dry well."
Although Xing Bang knew that there was something fishy about this case, since it had little to do with the house, he simply took it, also to preserve some of Nangong Xue's past memories.
Things are definitely not that simple. Just wait and see. If it is beneficial to me, I don’t mind getting involved.
"That's fine. This house is not far from the palace. I will send someone to clean it up for you tomorrow. It will be ready for you to live in in two days."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"Little Korean, I have never been so happy since I was a child!"
Liu Jing was still somewhat immersed in the excitement of the Jiaofangsi. For a moment, he actually felt that doing these things was so enjoyable, meaningful, and fulfilling.
"That means Your Highness has grown up. Speaking of which, I have something to report to Your Highness. I suggest that the little Douzi who is beside Your Highness be replaced. The Queen has agreed. I have already chosen the candidate for Your Highness. It is Xiao Xizi who is by my side. I believe he will serve Your Highness well."
"I have wanted to replace Xiaodouzi for a long time, but I haven't found a suitable one. Since it is you who recommended him, I believe he will be to my liking. It is settled. Even if he is only half as smart as you, I will be satisfied."
Liu Jing naturally would not object. He had always wanted to keep Xing Bang by his side. Now recommending someone he had trained was the next best option.
"By the way, Your Highness, you have just recovered from a serious illness, so you should pay more attention to rest. You should rest well in your mansion this afternoon, otherwise the Queen will be worried if she finds out."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. By the way, when will that little Xizi be transferred to me?"
Liu Jing knew that it was impossible to keep Xing Bang for long, and it would be meaningless if he left. He really wanted to witness whether this little Xizi was in tune with his temper.
"Xiao Xizi is in Qinglong Town right now. It's convenient for him to leave the palace. I will go to Qinglong Town right away and bring him back to you, Your Highness."
"Haha, little Korean, are you going to bring that woman back too? That's good, the mansion will be ready for people to live in soon."
Liu Jing naturally knew about this matter.
"Then your highness, take a good rest. I will leave now."
Xing Bang didn't say much. So many days had passed, and it was time to go over and see what was going on.
What the Sixth Prince said made a lot of sense. If there was a house outside the palace, how could there be no mistress, especially a woman who could be shown in public.
Then, Xing Bang left the palace and rode straight to Qinglong Town.
More than half an hour later.
Xing Bang arrived in Qinglong Town and did not go to the town government. Although he did not know the exact location of Xiao Xizi's home, given Zheng Xiujun's reputation as the most beautiful woman in the local area, it was just a matter of asking around.
Soon, Xing Bang found the place and came to a courtyard at the foot of the mountain, which was a bit remote.
Although the courtyard is a bit shabby, it is kept very clean. The yard is quite large, with some flowers and plants planted, as well as a large vegetable garden. It looks extremely warm.
The yard was empty and quiet. Xing Bang tied his horse in the yard and walked towards the house. The door was closed, so Xing Bang knocked on it...
"Who? Xier, are you back?"
A gentle and pleasant voice came out from inside the house. It was definitely Zheng Xiujun.
Xiao Xizi is not at home...
"Madam, I'm not Xiao Xizi, I'm his elder brother!"
Crash...
Xing Bang clearly heard a loud sound of water. Oh my god, is Zheng Xiujun taking a bath?
Soon, Zheng Xiujun's voice was heard again: "Wait a moment, I will open the door for you right away..." The voice sounded a little anxious and hurried.
Xing Bang understood immediately that he must be bathing. The reason why there was no sound was probably because he was resting with his eyes closed. His sudden arrival made him get up from the bathtub out of nervousness, which is why there was such a big noise...
After a long while, the door creaked open.
Zheng Xiujun had her hair loose and wet, with some water drops on her forehead, and her clothes stuck to her body...
My goodness, this scene is so unique.
It was obvious that she had dressed in a hurry and opened the door for herself, her face flushed and she looked very embarrassed.
Xing Bang swallowed subconsciously, "Madam, you are..."
"I just finished cleaning the yard, and I had nothing to do... Why did you come here suddenly?"
Zheng Xiujun noticed Xing Bang's strange look, her face turned even redder, and she subconsciously turned sideways: "Hey, Xiao Xing, come in quickly!"
"Ma'am, why don't I wait in the yard for a while."
"Well, no need. It's okay. I can't let you stand outside."
Zheng Xiujun felt a little regretful after she finished speaking. It was not right for her to let the distinguished guest wait outside. But it would be even more awkward after he came in. What's more, Xier had gone to town again. It was so embarrassing that her body was still wet.
"In that case, I'll sit in the hall for a while..."
Xing Bang smelled the fragrance and walked into the house.
Looking towards the left side of the room, the ground next to the bathtub is full of water...
