Reborn to abuse the scumbag, the demon queen destroyed her ex-husband's entire family
Chapter 55 No One Writes
After circling a few names, Bai Song was called over and asked to deliver it to Sun Yan.
These materials show some people that Lu Yu has been in close contact with recently. Xiao Ruge circled out a few key figures among them and tried to win them over if possible, and eliminated all those who could not be won over.
Anyway, she would not let these people follow Lu Yu in the future, as it would be disadvantageous to her.
It would be disadvantageous to herself and kind to the enemy. Xiao Ruge would never do such a loss-making business.
So in the next few days, people died one after another in the capital. Some of them accidentally fell off their horses, while others fell into the water and drowned after drinking too much and walking at night.
Two of them were stabbed to death by thugs when they were meddling in other people's business.
Without exception, these people were all military generals. Although their positions were not very high and the highest-ranking official was only a colonel, the successive deaths made Jingzhao Yin very busy.
In order to strengthen the security of the capital, Jingzhao Yin and Jingjiwei strengthened the protection, and Jingjiwei patrols could often be seen on the streets.
This made Xiao Jinzhi even busier. Sometimes he ate and slept in Jingjiwei and only came back once or twice in half a month.
However, strengthening defense also has its benefits, that is, there are fewer troublemakers in Beijing and the crime rate has also dropped a lot.
When Xiao Ruge went out on the street that day, he happened to meet a constable from the Dali Temple, who was Feng Ziqing who was investigating the assassination case that day.
Xiao Ruge asked him about the progress of the case, and Feng Ziqing sighed.
"Those assassins were specially trained and left no clues on their bodies. If we want to find the real culprit behind the scenes, I'm afraid there is little hope."
Xiao Ruge sighed after hearing this, "Forget it, I'm not injured anyway, so if they can't find out, then they can't find out! There have been a lot of murders in the capital recently, so I guess the Dali Temple is very busy, right?"
Feng Ziqing didn't say much, just smiled and said, "Yes, Jingzhao Yin is too busy, so I came to the Dali Temple to borrow some manpower temporarily."
"Then Detective Feng, please go and do your work. I won't bother you anymore."
Xiao Ruge nodded to Feng Ziqing in the carriage, and after watching him leave, she lowered the curtain.
Ever since Wang Er died in the last assassination, Xiao Ruge found a new groom.
This man is her assassin. After disguising himself, he looks like an honest middle-aged man.
No one would believe that this person is a top-notch master who can take down someone's first episode just by talking.
The carriage swayed to Tianbao Pavilion. Tomorrow, Old Madam Xiao would take her and Xiao Mingyue to a banquet, and they needed new clothes, so she went out today to buy jewelry.
After getting off the carriage, Xiao Ruge took Bai Zhi and Xiao Shuang into Tianbao Pavilion. When the shopkeeper saw that a wealthy young lady had arrived, he immediately invited her to the private room on the second floor.
At the same time, Mu Gu was talking to Duanmu Ling in the teahouse opposite.
Duanmu Ling knew about the previous injury, but Mu Gu only said that he was assassinated and did not involve Xiao Ruge.
The two of them sat by the window. Duanmu Ling drank tea and whispered, "Didn't you ask me to check before, who else in the capital is related to General Xiao?"
"Checked it out?"
Mu Gu reached out and poured him a cup of tea, raising his thick black eyebrows.
"Well, General Xiao is really amazing. Not only did he resist the northern Rongdi alone, he also trained a group of powerful troops for the Dalong Dynasty!"
"Not only was General Zhenyuan Zhao Yu taught by the old general, but even General Light Cavalry Zhou Yan and the young general Jiang Qikun once served under him!"
Duanmu Ling praised General Xiao a lot and also mentioned several people in the court who were related to the old general.
"Although these people are all former subordinates of General Xiao, they don't have much contact with each other. Especially before and after General Xiao was killed, no one wrote to the old general."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Mu Gu and asked in confusion: "Why did you suddenly ask me to investigate these matters of General Xiao?"
Mu Gu sighed and looked out the window, "I secretly found some information and wanted to confirm something..."
Having said this, he paused, staring at the second floor across the street without blinking. There was an open window there, and from this position, he could just see Xiao Ruge sitting inside.
Duanmu Ling paused when he heard what he said, and looked in the direction he was looking, just in time to see Xiao Ruge's sweet smile.
"Oh, what a fate, I can actually meet Miss Xiao Er here!"
He opened his folding fan and waved it, smiling at Xiao Ruge across from him, glancing at Mu Gu and asking, "Second Miss Xiao is very popular right now. I heard that both the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince are interested in her. Who do you think she will marry in the end?"
Thinking of his two brothers, Mu Gu sneered, "She won't choose anyone!"
"Oh? You know Miss Xiao Er so well?"
These words surprised Duanmu Ling and made him feel confused.
Mu Gu turned to look at his friend, and said with a smile: "If she wanted to, she would have chosen one of them long ago. Why is she so reluctant to respond?"
"That's right!"
Duanmu Ling was nodding when he saw his friend stand up and asked him where he was going.
Mu Gu just waved his hand without answering and went downstairs briskly.
Duanmu Ling sighed, shook his head and left the teahouse.
Mu Gu walked out of the teahouse, strolled on the street, and then slowly approached Xiao Ruge's carriage.
When he was ten steps away from the carriage, he was discovered by Bai Song and the new coachman Dali who were guarding the carriage.
The two of them stared at him with serious expressions, which made Mu Gu feel amused.
"I made your young lady unhappy that day, so I came here to apologize to her!"
Bai Song thought for a moment, then bowed to Mu Gu and said, "Your Highness, this is too serious. My daughter does not deserve your apology."
"Whether I am worthy of this or not is not your decision. I'd better talk to your young lady in person!"
While the two were talking, Xiao Ruge had already come down from upstairs with two maids. The two maids were each holding a jewelry box in their hands, and it seemed that they had bought a lot of jewelry.
When Xiao Ruge saw Mu Gu standing next to the carriage, she frowned, then ignored him and got on the carriage directly.
"Da Li, let's go home."
Xiao Ruge gave an order, and then he whipped the horse-drawn carriage vigorously, and it moved forward slowly.
Mu Gu sighed, took a few steps to the window, and followed the carriage forward.
"Xiao Ruge, I want to talk to you."
"There is nothing to discuss between us. Fifth Prince, please go back!"
Xiao Ruge's voice came from the carriage, and it was hard to tell whether she was happy or unhappy.
"I didn't mean it that day. I apologize!"
Mu Gu explained anxiously.
Ever since he was slapped that day, he hadn't looked for Xiao Ruge for more than half a month. He wanted to apologize, but was afraid that Xiao Ruge would still be angry, so he kept putting it off until now.
