How to investigate the case of demon blood smuggling?
Xiao Chen’s idea is... not to investigate!
From the day he promised Huang Jin, Xiao Chen has been paying attention to public opinion in the imperial capital.
Whether it was the information about the Ye family that Ye Andu brought, or the news that he asked Liu Zhenyun to inquire about in the imperial capital, he told him everything.
The news that he...the Ninth Prince Xiao Chen...was the chief judge in the demon blood smuggling case had spread like a hurricane throughout the imperial capital.
Countless powerful people trembled in fear.
Especially those powerful people who had conflicts with Xiao Chen, such as Ning Yu, the Marquis of Ningnan, who went in and out of various mansions of powerful people several times, the most frequent of which was the East Palace.
Not only them,
Even King Jing, King Yu, the Fourth Prince, the Fifth Prince and others took action.
They were all contacting their subordinates and asking about the demon blood privately.
In just a few days, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which seemed calm on the surface, was already surging with undercurrents.
I'm afraid the quietest places are the Imperial Palace and the Imperial City Office!
Xiao Chen sneered.
He was quite dissatisfied with the fact that his cheap father, Emperor Jing of Ming, treated him as a pawn.
He planned to show it to everyone in the capital of Great Zhou.
He Xiao Chen,
He is still the most dissolute man in the imperial capital.
Demon Blood Case,
Not even the dog checked!
Therefore, last night, Yan Ping sent him information that Yuan Jia Sanniang went to Cao's opera troupe to listen to the opera again today.
Xiao Chen knew,
The opportunity has come!
So, he made an appointment with Mrs. Lu to come out early in the morning and go to the Cao family opera troupe.
You should know that Yuan Qingshu’s husband is Tang Yuanqing, the Minister of Works.
If Xiao Chen wants to investigate the case of the demon blood, he must go through the Ministry of Industry!
This is because the demon blood used by so many powerful people every year cannot come out of thin air or be provided by the Demon God Cult.
Ye Andu once told him that the source of demon blood was only one place, and that was the battlefield in the southern border.
In order to escort the demon blood back to the imperial capital, in addition to the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Works will also be involved.
Xiao Chen didn't believe it.
Tang Yuanqing, the Minister of Works, knew nothing!
so,
Whether it is investigating the last clue of the Huangsao case, Yuan Tong, or investigating the clue of the demon blood smuggling case,
Can't get away from her,
The most important woman between these two people,
Yuan Qingshu!
Xiao Chen always felt that she was extraordinary.
Creak,
Creak,
The luxurious carriage was driving on the streets of the imperial capital.
Xiao Chen lay on the soft couch in the carriage, resting his head on Mrs. Lu's thigh, slowly thinking about these things.
Until a whisper interrupted his thoughts.
"Chen'er, eat a longan!"
Madam Lu peeled the longan and brought the flesh to Xiao Chen's lips with her delicate hands: "You! Why do you have to watch some opera today?"
"These days, everyone in the capital is talking about you as the chief officer of the demon blood smuggling case."
"At this critical moment, you still want to take me to the opera!"
"What kind of play are you listening to?"
"Your safety is important."
Xiao Chen ate the flesh in one bite and casually spat the black core into Mrs. Lu's palm.
He raised his eyes and looked towards her.
Mrs. Lu was blaming Xiao Chen, but the corners of her mouth were already raised high, and the joy in her eyes could not be concealed.
A woman who says one thing but means another... Xiao Chen complained inwardly, but replied with a faint smile, "How can that be? The most important thing is to accompany Aunt Lu to watch the opera."
"I heard the new play that the Cao Family Opera Troupe recently filmed is really popular!"
"Many marquises and wives of princes like to come and visit. It's my honor to accompany Aunt Lu to visit."
Mrs. Lu smiled brightly when she heard Xiao Chen's words, and she quickly praised him, "Chen'er is the best!"
She happily continued to peel longan for Xiao Chen.
While Mrs. Lu was concentrating on her work, Xiao Chen looked her up and down.
Today, Mrs. Lu abandoned the traditional simple and elegant dressing style. She wore a dark green long skirt with a fiery red shawl draped over her arms, looking extremely dignified and majestic. She also applied light makeup on her beautiful face, and her fiery red lips were eye-catching.
The emerald green jade earrings swayed continuously with the bumps of the carriage, making her look elegant and solemn.
One can tell at first glance that it is the attire of a noble lady.
"Does it look good?"
Xiao Chen looked at Madam Lu and found her extremely stunning. After abandoning her simple and elegant attire, Madam Lu seemed to be more radiant today.
But suddenly, Mrs. Lu's voice sounded in his ears.
Xiao Chen was stunned.
Madam Lu turned to look at him, her cheeks flushed. "Chen'er, Aunt Lu knows you have some peculiar habits, but you should try not to touch other people's wives."
"Doesn't it look good on Aunt Lu?"
ah?
Xiao Chen was shocked!
He immediately understood the crux of the matter!
This dark green long skirt, probably because the news of his interrogation of Zhao Rou reached Mrs. Lu's ears.
And let her... misunderstand!
......
The luxurious carriage swayed and came to the Cao family opera troupe.
As the most popular theater recently, only the rich or the noble can come here to listen to operas.
The afternoon and evening sessions are the most lively, with famous actors performing the hottest plays of the day.
When the carriage that Madam Lu usually rode stopped,
Xiao Chen, dressed in a purple and gold robe, was the first to get out of the carriage. Then he reached out and held Mrs. Lu's hand, leading her down from the carriage.
The men are as handsome as elegant gentlemen, and the women are also beautiful and noble.
Plus, there’s the blessing of a luxurious carriage that’s comparable to a supercar.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them.
