Chapter 513 There Are So Many People Who Want to Kill Me (Update 1)
Shuntian Prefecture?
Lu Yu subconsciously asked: "Aren't you going to check it yourself?"
After all, the masked man just now said with his own mouth that they were the ones who assassinated Ye Zheng that year.
Ye Chutang shook his head: "My power is limited, so it is best to hand it over to Shuntian Prefecture."
She was assassinated in broad daylight, in the capital, under the feet of the emperor. Those people in Shuntian Prefecture were not here for free.
Lu Yu understood instantly—Ye Chutang was going to make a big deal out of this.
Ye Chutang is now in charge of Emperor Mu Wu's medical treatment. How could someone be so blind as to make trouble for her at this time? All nine clans are simply fed up with living like this.
He nodded, and just as he was about to turn around, he remembered something:
"Do you need us to search you first?"
Ye Chutang: “No need.”
Lu Yu understood that Ye Chutang was really going to hand the person over to Shuntian Prefecture, and would also entrust the subsequent series of investigations to that place.
Recalling what Lian Zhou and the others had said about Miss Ye's behavior, Lu Yu waved his hand to signal his men to collect the body, and said:
"I thought you would want to leave him alive."
When he took action just now, Ye Chutang had secretly instructed that they be killed.
So he didn't hold back.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu looked at Xiao Wu again. He was worried that he would scare the little girl, but who knew that she would just finish looking at him like that.
And Ye Chutang didn't seem to be worried about this.
In fact, it is not impossible for Ye Chutang to resolve this kind of grudge privately.
"If we take one or two of them back and interrogate them, we may be able to get some clues—"
"There's nothing to be learned from them." Ye Chutang interrupted him, his expression unusually calm, "They are not the same people as before, and they have nothing to do with that incident. Therefore, there is no value in keeping them alive."
"really?"
Lu Yu was a little surprised.
But those people had just said it with their own mouths, how could Ye Chutang be so sure...
After glancing at Ye Chutang's expression, Lu Yu tactfully shut his mouth.
He could see the murderous intent in Ye Chutang's eyes the moment he got off the carriage.
At that moment he was secretly frightened, and even felt that if they were not there, Ye Chutang would have killed all of them by himself.
It was obvious - these people pissed her off.
Ye Chutang said "hmm".
"The bows and arrows they used were different, and their movements were also different. More importantly, if they were really the same people back then, they would not have revealed their identities and caused trouble for themselves. He said this just to frame them."
Just...want to pass on the blame? It's not that easy.
Lu Yu looked at that peaceful and calm face, and for the first time he deeply understood the unfathomable look on the other person's face when he asked about Miss Ye's personality, and the words "Miss Ye is not an ordinary woman, you must act seriously."
...Why would such a sharp and intelligent person need their secret protection?!
I'm afraid she had already anticipated the murder today!
"I see." Lu Yu clasped his fists, "Thank you for your teachings, Miss Ye Er. I will accept your advice."
Ye Chutang tilted his head slightly to look at him, the corners of his lips curved, and he said with a relaxed look: "This can't be called a teaching, it's just that I've seen a lot and have experience."
Lu Yu: “…”
What does... seen too much mean?
Matters of life and death, how come the word "experienced" doesn't sound like it has anything to do with it?
Without waiting for him to ask again, Ye Chutang lightly brushed off the non-existent dust on his sleeves and said calmly:
"There are so many people who want to kill me, how can he be ranked so low? What's the matter with his identity being messed up?"
Lu Yu: “…”
If Lian Zhou Yuncheng and others were here, they would definitely be amazed that Lu Yu's icy face could show such complex expression fluctuations.
Lu Yu instinctively felt that he couldn't ask any more questions, so he lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, I will clean up this place in a moment."
Ye Chutang thanked him again, carried Xiaowu back to the carriage, and asked Lu Yu to bring the news back to the Ye Mansion and bury the coachman with great honor.
Lu Yu agreed to all of them and originally wanted to escort him all the way, but was politely declined by Ye Chutang.
"Your Majesty's illness cannot be delayed. I must go to the palace immediately."
…
"What!? Chu Tang was assassinated!?"
The princess was processing memorials in a side hall. She stood up in shock when she heard the news.
"Is she okay now!?"
Zhu Xin hurriedly said:
"Don't worry, Princess. The Crown Prince's men are secretly protecting them. They have dealt with those people and sent them to Shuntian Prefecture for investigation. Miss Ye Er just entered the palace and went to see His Majesty first."
The princess heaved a sigh of relief and slowly sat back down: "He is thoughtful enough..."
Otherwise, if something happens to that girl, let’s see what he will do!
Zhu Xin said: "The Lord of the Black Cavalry has always only obeyed the orders of the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince actually sent Lord Lu Yu to protect Miss Ye Er. He is really willing to do so."
She smiled and lowered her voice, "Now I'm afraid that everyone in the capital will know that the prince holds Miss Ye at the top of his heart!"
The princess comforted and felt relieved: "This is what he should do. What's so surprising? But at least he didn't disappoint me..."
She is almost worried to death looking at this every day!
Hearing that Ye Chutang was fine, the princess was finally relieved, but it was ridiculous that such a thing happened in the capital!
She immediately gave an order: "Let the people of Shuntian Prefecture investigate thoroughly! Within three days, I want to see the real culprit!"
…
"Could it be Jiang Cairen?"
After hearing this, the first person Chu Qiyuan thought of was Jiang Qingmei.
While treating the patient, Ye Chutang said without raising his head:
"She has just been imprisoned in the cold palace. How can she have such manpower and time?"
Chu Qiyuan suddenly understood, but was even more confused:
"That's right...but who could that be? That's really bold!"
Everyone in the capital knows that His Majesty is seriously ill. If anything happens to Ye Chutang, His Majesty will probably be in great danger!
——Who this is directed at is still unknown!
Ye Chutang did not comment: "I believe that the adults in Shuntian Prefecture can find out the truth. But Xiao Chengxuan passed by Prince Qi's Mansion today and the seal on the door was still there. It seems that he... has not left the capital yet?"
Chu Qiyuan stroked his beard.
"Alas, your majesty only said exile, but before he could say when he would be exiled, he fainted! The officials below were in a dilemma and argued endlessly. Finally, the old man ordered that he be detained in Anhua Palace first."
Ye Chutang raised an eyebrow: "The Third Princess is silent?"
"The third princess?"
Ye Chutang seemed to be thinking about something: "I thought that Jiang Cairen and Xiao Chengxuan both had problems yesterday, and she must have been running around for them, but it has been a day and a night, and there is no movement at all."
Chu Qiyuan thought for a moment:
"This... maybe she doesn't have any good solution? She's just an unpopular princess, what can she do?"
Everyone has forgotten Xiao Lanxi's existence.
Because from beginning to end, no one took her seriously.
Ye Chutang's eyes moved slightly: "Really?"
