Chapter 171 Murder Case



Xiao Cunyu was curious about what their bet was, it would definitely not be cheap.

I guess there is quite a bit of reward money given to the Warriors for playing.

Each prince sent three warriors to the field. Among the warriors, the leader was of high status and should be the son of an official. Judging from his heroic spirit, he must be a well-known figure in the capital. The other two warriors were the princes' trusted subordinates, and they must have excellent martial arts and riding and archery skills. Their tasks were to protect the young masters on the field and to assist them in hunting.

"Seventh Young Master, do you know them?" Ying Huaiji was still in the mood to drink. He tilted his body slightly and asked Xiao Cunyu.

"Except my eldest brother, I don't know anyone. However, there are many talented young men around Prince Rui, why does he need my eldest brother to come?" Xiao Cunyu asked bluntly.

Her tone was as relaxed as ever.

Ying Huaiji also seemed to find this competition boring, and explained with great interest: "The one with the best chance of winning beside Third Brother is the grandson of Duke Wei. However, Wu Yezhi's arm was slightly injured in the previous match. If he participates again, his chances of winning will be smaller. Although the others are not bad, they are still inferior to your eldest brother."

Xiao Cunyu probably doesn't know Xiao Jingyun's abilities yet.

When Xiao Jingyun was sixteen years old, a lone wolf accidentally broke into the academy. It had a pair of slightly sinister eyes. It was said that Xiao Jingyun was as steady as a rock. He bent his bow and shot without hesitation, piercing the lone wolf's neck.

Become famous overnight.

Moreover, many people have seen his riding and shooting skills. After all, he is the eldest grandson of General Xiao, and he has inherited all the true skills and is very brave.

With him around, King Rui is almost certain to win the next game.

"What are you betting on, Your Highnesses?" Xiao Cunyu was also proud of his elder brother, and was even more curious about what good things he could bring back.

"The power to supervise a murder case." Ying Huaiji said with a smile.

Xiao Cunyu was a little surprised. She thought it was some rare treasure!

But what kind of murder case would the prince of the royal family be interested in? This case must be extraordinary, right?

She didn't feel comfortable asking any more questions, but the Crown Prince was good-natured, and perhaps out of sheer boredom, he continued, "A few days ago, a commoner went to the capital to file a complaint, accusing the Duke of Wei's son of slaughtering innocent people in the area he governed."

After the people came to Beijing, they naturally found a backer and are now in the hands of the loyalists.

Prince Qin and Prince Rui had been feuding fiercely, and Duke Wei was from the Queen's family, so Prince Qin naturally did not want to miss this opportunity.

"That has nothing to do with you, Your Highness the Crown Prince?" It doesn't matter whether the Crown Prince intervenes in this matter or not, right?

What's the point of arguing?

"If it is verified that the son of the Duke of Wei really committed the evil deeds of embezzling disaster relief funds and killing the people in his rule, all the officials in that area must be replaced." The prince said again.

Whoever is involved in the investigation will be more qualified to send people there in the end.

Several princes have also recruited many young officials, but there are only so many positions, and only when someone falls can someone else climb up.

The disaster in Jiangding City was not serious, and the local customs were also quite good, making it easy to achieve political achievements. Most officials who came from there climbed the ranks more smoothly.

How can we not fight?

Xiao Cunyu was silent for a moment.

"Your Highness, do you think that the people have wronged the Duke of Wei's son?" Xiao Cunyu asked again.

Ying Huaiji looked at her and smiled: "Most likely not, but... whether or not it happens is not important to Prince Rui. As long as he wins, even if Jiangding City is a hell on earth, it will be described as a paradise."

After hearing this, Xiao Cunyu felt a little disgusted.

In this game, it seems... it would be better for Big Brother to lose?

"Jiang Dingcheng?"
