The system forced me to be emperor

Xiao Rui patted Xiao Yan and said, "Don't worry, let Gao Quan start from the beginning and speak slowly."

Gao Quan said in detail: "Your Highness, when the villain rushed to Luzhou, he knew that he would not be able to find any information by investigating the family of the deceased alone, so he started on Xu Haoran. It has only been three months since he returned to the capital. All the general judges who were transferred back to Beijing were very impressed. He had a good reputation. He was gentle and casual, without bureaucratic style. Neighbors all said that he lived in a simple place, devoted himself to government affairs, never married, and his life was not chaotic, and he had never seen him bring any woman home. Just when the servant thought that the clue was broken, he had an idea , found Xu Haoran's assistant officer when he was in office."

"When the villain first arrived in Luzhou, he asked him directly for news about Xu Haoran. Naturally, the man refused to tell, and even wanted to arrest me. The villain had no choice but to use 8000 taels of silver as a bait to make him tell the truth."

"I heard from this person that Xu Haoran is indeed gentle, casual, gentle and refined, and he is from the capital. Who doesn't admire him among the women in the boudoirs of Luzhou? But Xu Haoran never messes with flowers and has a good character."

"However, just over half a month after Xu Haoran was transferred away, a woman suddenly came to the Luzhou government office with a child in her arms, and said she wanted to find Xu Haoran. At that time, Xu Haoran had already returned to Beijing. Seeing that he was crazy, she drove her away."

"The woman stayed in front of the government office with the child in her arms for a long time, looking silly. The assistant officer used to work with Xu Haoran. When he came home, he saw her in a daze, so he asked a few questions. The woman only said that she was from Tian'an County. Xu Haoran has something important to do, but he refuses to say anything else. The assistant officer told the woman that Xu Haoran has returned to Beijing, and it seems that he went back to Beijing to get married. Then the woman who was in a state of despair wailed and ran away with the baby in her arms."

After Gao Quan spoke up to this point, Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan sat up straight, and then came to the important point.

"The villain immediately rushed to Tian'an County to find out the identity of the woman. After some inquiries, he finally found out that there was a Wang family in Tian'an County who went to visit relatives in the capital and never came back. These five people are Wang's couple, their son, The younger daughter, besides, the baby was born by the eldest daughter out of wedlock, which is a scandal in Tianan County, so I knew the situation of this family when I inquired about it. I used the portrait of the deceased to inquire, and the deceased was indeed the Wang family. "

"The Wang family is just ordinary people, not a wealthy family. It wasn't until after the baby was born that they suddenly became rich. They bought a good house, a large group of servants and maidservants, and spent a lot of money. But from the perspective of hierarchy, it is impossible for a daughter of the Wang family to be as rich as Xu Haoran. It involves a connection, so after several investigations, the villain did not find out how the two of them met, nor did they find out whether the child belonged to Xu Haoran."

"Your Highness, the villain only found out this information."

Gao Quan was apologetic.

Xiao Rui patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Time is running out, it is not easy to find out these things, at least the identity of the deceased has been confirmed. However, you just said that the baby belonged to the eldest daughter of the Wang family, so what about her? "

"It seems that the child died due to dystocia." Gao Quan said.

Xiao Rui nodded, feeling the confusion between the relationship.

"This information can't convict Xu Haoran at all!" Xiao Yan said angrily.

However, Xiao Rui said: "The identity of the deceased is confirmed, so the purpose of their coming to the capital can also be confirmed, which is to find Xu Haoran. Regardless of whether the baby boy is his own flesh and blood, the Wang family will be arranged by the Xu family when they arrive in the capital. Therefore, no information can be found on inns, B&Bs, or houses. Later, for unknown reasons, the Wang family left in a hurry, and was chased by Cao Guanshi, who strangled the four of them and the baby to death."

"Why kill them? There is no reason. Even if the child is Xu Haoran, if he wants to marry the princess, there is no need to kill the Wang family. The baby's mother has already passed away. In addition, Cao Guanshi's hand was arranged by Xu Haoran , or arranged by Xu Xianyang?" Xiao Yan asked.

Xiao Rui nodded. He checked the system, but the task was still not completed, so even if he found out the identity of the deceased, he still didn't complete the task.

Tomorrow is the task deadline, what should I do?

Xiao Rui had a headache.

"Do you want to lure the snake out of the hole?" Xiao Rui asked.

"Seventh brother, you want to go to Xu Haoran and tell him directly?" Xiao Yan was startled.

Xiao Rui nodded.

Xiao Yan hurriedly said: "No! If it's someone else, with our prince's status, I'm afraid he's a ghost. But Xu Xianyang is a cabinet scholar, even if we are princes, we can't afford to offend him."

"Then is there any other good way?" Xiao Rui asked.

Xiao Yan shook his head.

"Done!"

Xiao Rui stood up, this time he was not for the sake of coming, but for the five lives that died innocently, including the baby who was still in its infancy!

"I'll accompany you." Xiao Yan shouted.

"You can be my think tank. Too many people should not come forward in this kind of matter. You have to help me guard against Xu Xianyang." Xiao Rui refused.

Xiao Yan patted his chest and said, "Seventh brother, don't worry."

Xiao Rui spread out the rice paper and asked Gao Quan: "What are the names of the two daughters of the Wang family?"

"The eldest daughter is called Wang Qingling, and the younger daughter is called Wang Qingyin. Oh, by the way, they are the same sibling, and they look almost identical." Thinking of this, Gao Quan said hastily.

Xiao Rui nodded, then wrote down the words Wang Qingyin on the paper, and handed it to Gao Quan: "When you send it to Xu's house tomorrow morning, just say that I invite Mr. Xu to have a glass of water and wine in Cuiyun Tower."

"Yes, Your Highness." Gao Quan put away the note, then backed out.

Looking at the flickering candlelight, Xiao Rui narrowed his eyes.

Chapter 20: Confused

These days, the newlywed Xu Haoran doesn't sleep well and always wakes up in the middle of the night.Not tired, but having nightmares and being entangled by evil spirits.

After breakfast, he was about to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but unexpectedly received a letter sent by His Royal Highness Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui?

All of a sudden, Xu Haoran thought of the wedding night, the Seventh Prince, who had never been in touch with him, seemed to have no intention of doing so, but after thinking about it afterwards, he intentionally made insinuations.

Does he know something?

Xu Haoran felt his heart tighten, and hurriedly asked his servants to bring the letter, opened the paper, and three words came into view.

"Wang Qingyin"!

Xu Haoran's pupils narrowed sharply, and he even took a step back, almost losing his footing.

After a while, he asked, "What else did you say?"

The servant replied: "Said the young master to go to Cuiyun Tower for a glass of water and wine."

"Prepare the car." Xu Haoran exhaled and shouted.

The servants went to arrange the carriage immediately.

When he came to the downstairs of Cuiyun, Xu Haoran walked in.Early in the morning, Cuiyun Building hadn't opened yet, but the owner of the restaurant enthusiastically sent Xu Haoran up to the third floor, to Xiao Rui's private room.

Knocking on the door, Xiao Rui opened it himself, and warmly welcomed him: "Master Xu, I invited you here so early, so I didn't disturb your rest."

Xu Haoran clasped his hands and said, "I've wanted to make friends with Your Highness for a long time, but I haven't had the chance for a long time. It should be the lower officials who invited His Highness. How can His Highness spend money? After the meeting, I will punish myself three cups."

The two took their seats.

Xu Haoran took the initiative to pour the wine, Xiao Rui picked up the wine glass, and said with a smile: "Master Xu is working in the Metropolitan Procuratorate now? I have heard a long time about Master Xu's incorruptible style. When he was serving as a judge in Luzhou, he was praised by the people. I believe that the future is bright. In the future, together with your father, we will be the pillars of the Great Xia Kingdom."

Xu Haoran also picked up his wine glass, and replied: "It is an honor to serve the Great Xia Kingdom. I didn't expect that His Highness is busy with his studies, and he would care about the government affairs of the official in Luzhou, and the official is panicked."

"I'm full of curiosity about Mr. Xu, so I specially sent someone to Luzhou Prefecture, oh, and Tian'an County." Xiao Rui drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Xu Haoran was stunned with the hand holding the wine glass, then put down the wine glass, stared at Xiao Rui, and asked, "Oh? Is that so? I don't know what the people sent there have found?"

Xiao Rui looked at him and found that his eyes were deep.

"Does Master Xu know Wang Qingyin? He and his family came to Beijing to see you, but they were brutally killed on the way home. Now that the capital is full of turmoil, why didn't Master Xu contact Ying Tianfu to provide some clues to solve the case as soon as possible?" Xiao Rui smiled.

Xu Haoran squinted his eyes and asked, "How did Your Highness know that Wang Qingyin came to Beijing to look for me? I don't even know. I've never seen them before, and I don't even know that the deceased in the murder case is their family. Hey, Pitiful."
