The system forced me to be emperor

Zhang Lianchuan pouted, and called out aggrievedly: "Your Highness!"

Tian Boguang also came to meet, and then introduced others for Xiao Rui.

There is the son of the Marquis of Valor, the son of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, the son of the Marquis of Pingbo, the son of the Marquis of Baizhan...

Sure enough, birds of a feather flock together, ten sons of the Twelfth Army Marquis came.

The young masters bowed their hands to see Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan, they did not disturb the group of young masters chatting awkwardly, said a few words, and left.

Strolling to a house, he saw a group of young talents, and Xiao Rui saw Ding Jian among them.

Xiao Yan said that this group is the descendants of the six ministers.

Continuing to stroll, Xiao Rui saw Qingliu from the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

I saw the great Confucianists and Confucian scholars in the capital.

I saw the servants and officials of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Households.

I heard that several bigwigs from the cabinet also came, but they didn't see it.

……

This night, almost all the powers in the capital were present.

Half an hour later, Emperor Xia arrived in person.

This was the first time in the past five years that the Emperor Xia had left the palace in person to attend a happy event held by the important minister's family, which showed the Emperor Xia's favor and trust in Xu Xianyang.

Emperor Xia took his seat, Xiao Rui also took his seat with the other princes, there were only two tables in the main hall, Emperor Xia shared a table with several princes and four cabinet ministers, and nine princes shared a table.

The other civil and military ministers are all in the next room.

Officials below the fifth rank cannot even sit in the house, and can only sit in the courtyard.

At this time, the worship ceremony is also beginning.

Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan couldn't bear the oppression in the main hall, so they sneaked out to watch the worship ceremony.Emperor Xia was a guest, so naturally he would not stop them.

What Xu Menghao married was the princess of Ruyang Wang's family. Among the four kings of the county, Ruyang King was brave and brave, even the current Emperor Xia dared to hate him.

So Xiao Rui suspected that Emperor Xia came to attend the wedding in person, not because he favored Xu Xianyang, but because he was afraid of being scolded by King Ruyang.

Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan stood at the corner watching the worship ceremony. He looked at the groom, Xu Haoran, and always felt that the groom was weird.

Chapter 18: Unbelievable Clues Emerging

As one of the four major happy events, the bridal chamber wedding night should be a festive and exciting day, but Xiao Rui felt that Xu Haoran, the groom's official, looked strange, and even forced a smile.

Could it be a forced marriage?

Xiao Rui couldn't help but guess the bloody plot.

"Xiao Jiu, do you think this young master of the Xu family has an awkward smile on his face, does he look down on our cousin? He looks reluctant." Xiao Rui asked.

Xiao Yan nodded, and said: "Really, it looks listless. But it shouldn't be, I heard that Xu Haoran and Xiao Qingqing met each other, and the elders of the two sides started to discuss the important matter of getting married. For this reason, Master Xu did not hesitate to ask His Majesty Request an order to transfer Xu Haoran back from Luzhou Mansion, and demote himself to the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

"Oh." Xiao Rui nodded.

Suddenly, he came to his senses and asked, "Where did you say he was transferred from?"

"Luzhou! What's the matter? It seems that he was appointed as the general judge of Luzhou, and he has been an official of the sixth rank at a young age." Xiao Yan explained.

"Such a coincidence?" Xiao Rui muttered to himself.

Xiao Yan looked at him flickeringly, and asked: "Seventh Brother, what's the matter?"

"Oh, it's okay." Xiao Rui came back to his senses and agreed.Then he looked at Xu Haoran and began to think wildly in his heart.

No way, who told him to mention the key word Luzhou.

With the end of the visiting ceremony, the wedding banquet officially began.

After three rounds of Xia Huangjiu, he returned to the palace.He is here, no one can even think about eating happily.

Xu Xianyang went to see Emperor Xia off in person, and Xu Haoran, accompanied by Xu Xianda, first came to the main hall to toast.

He first toasted several princes and four cabinet ministers, and then came to the prince's table.

They toasted one by one again, and soon it was Xiao Rui's turn.

On a whim, Xiao Rui took the wine that Xu Haoran brought up, and said in a low voice, "Congratulations Mr. Xu, I almost couldn't drink your wedding wine. Fortunately, Master Wei of Yingtianfu mentioned your marriage."

Xiao Yan who was on the side was eating food, and was stunned on the spot when he heard this, thinking that Brother Seven was trying to make trouble by opening his eyes and talking nonsense, so he quickly listened to it.

Xu Haoran's smile froze, and he subconsciously asked: "Your Highness is going to Yingtian Mansion... If there is something to deal with, I am willing to help."

Xiao Rui said: "It's nothing serious. You also know that a murder case happened in the capital recently. Five people died, and one baby was still in its infancy. Hey, the case I reported, of course I should be concerned..."

When talking, Xiao Rui stared at Xu Haoran, but was surprised to find that his eyes were flickering, and the hand holding the wine trembled, almost spilling it, but it was quickly covered by a blooming smile.

"Oh, I heard that too." Xu Haoran said, "Your Highness, I respect you."

After speaking, he raised his head and drank before leaving.

Xiao Rui grabbed his wrist suddenly and said with a smile, "I hope the deceased didn't affect your happy event."

Xu Haoran's eyes met his, and they were staggered in an instant. He smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, please sit down, Your Highness."

Xiao Rui sat down, Xu Haoran toasted Xiao Yan, and quickly left the main hall.

Xiao Yan saw that Seventh Brother was still staring at Xu Haoran's leaving back, and immediately asked in a low voice: "What's wrong, Seventh Brother? Do you suspect that he has something to do with the murder?"

Xiao Rui glanced around and said in a low voice, "Let's talk after we go out."

The two immediately sat upright, eating and drinking.

After the wedding banquet, the guests left one after another.

Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan bid farewell to the brothers and went back by car.

On the carriage, Xiao Yan couldn't wait a long time ago: "Seventh brother, do you suspect that Xu Haoran has something to do with the murder case? How is it possible? You can't get anything to do with it?"

"You said he was transferred from Luzhou, so I thought about it, so I tested it. Who knows, the result of the test surprised me." Xiao Rui said in a deep voice: "You have also seen Xu Haoran's performance. , If you say that he has no ghosts, would you believe it? Besides, this matter is quite weird, and the clues are unbelievable."

Xiao Rui suspected that it was the system's fault, but he didn't feel like it.His intuition told him that there must be something wrong with it.

Xiao Yan nodded, Xu Haoran's performance just now appeared in his mind, did it seem to have nothing to do with the performance he should have?He was upset and his hands were shaking, but he managed to stay calm.
