After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Xiao Fengxian remained expressionless: "I will check every night."

"Then why did something happen?" Li Jinglin said in a leisurely tone, "It must be that Master Xiao is slack in his work!"

He doesn't like Xiao Fengxian.

Although this son is young, he is serious and never sloppy in doing things. He is not as pedantic as other scholars. He has a very strong mind and action.

This made him faintly smell a hint of threat.

Plus Xiangye...

Master Xiang once tried to win over Xiao Fengxian, but to no avail.

If this kind of talent cannot be worshiped under his sect, then it is better to destroy it directly.

Ganshan had an accident, but it was an excellent opportunity to deal with him!
Li Jinglin thought about it, and sighed: "Master Xiao is young after all, and he does things sloppily. It's a pity that the lives of those few people are all men who take care of their families. Pity their families, there are still children waiting to be fed and old parents..."

Zhou Xianyuan frowned: "I haven't found out the matter yet, why do you think it's Xiao Qing's fault?"

"This……"

Li Jinglin choked.

Zhou Xianyuan said to his followers: "Go to Qianshan."

Everyone moved to the camp, and not long after they sat down, the attendant came back with a piece of rope: "His Royal Highness, six craftsmen were killed in the accident, and this is the broken part of the rope."

Wei Zi looked curiously.

The cracks and fractures are not like the natural breaking of the rope due to aging, but more like...

It was slowly ground away by someone with a sharp object.

Grind half a hole, and when heavy objects are hung during the day, it will naturally break.

Zhou Xianyuan's temper has always been gentle and peaceful, now he said angrily: "Who did it?!"

Flood control and embankment repair is the top priority in the court. Not only is the life of the people along the coast at stake, but it is also related to whether tens of thousands of acres of fertile land downstream can be saved from flood disasters. Even the Ministry of Households has given priority to allocating funds for this flood.

But someone unexpectedly cut the rope for transporting stones behind his back!

Needle drop can be heard in the tent.

After a while, Li Jinglin suddenly said: "At the end of the day, it's because Master Xiao is not good at handling things, and he didn't send people to guard against him, so that others have an opportunity to take advantage of!"

Xiao Fengxian sneered: "Master Li, are you alright? Now is the time for employing people, and there is not enough manpower. Are you free to send someone to guard that rope? But anyone with a slightly normal mind would not tamper with such a matter related to the common people, would he?"

"Report to His Royal Highness," the attendant carefully presented another object, "I still picked this up on a grass branch near the rope."

The crowd looked.

It is a delicate and small emerald jade pearl earring.

Wei Zi was startled.

Together with the other ladies present, she subconsciously looked at Li Shiyu.

This is Li Shiyu's jewelry!

Sure enough, Li Shiyu turned pale, covered his ears tightly, and stared at the earring in disbelief.

Wei Zi thought of seeing her sneaking around outside the tent last night, and immediately knew what she was doing.

She took another look at Murong Xiangxue.

She remembered that when Li Shiyu entered the tent last night, he exchanged glances with Murong.

Come to think of it, the two of them planned this matter together, with the sole purpose of framing Xiao Fengxian.

Xiao Fengxian keenly caught the eyes of the girls, and smiled: "Miss Li, could it be that this earring belongs to you?"

"No!" Li Shiyu hurriedly denied.

"Then why are you covering your ears?"

"me……"

Li Shiyu couldn't answer, his eyes were filled with tears, and he looked at his father as if asking for help.

Seeing her expression like this, Li Jinglin immediately guessed it.

He hated iron and steel, and forced a smile on his face: "The little girl is naughty, she must have accidentally left the ear bell there when she was playing. The little girl is the most obedient and kind-hearted, even an ant is reluctant to step on it to death. How could she go to the dry mountain and deliberately cut the rope for transporting stones, killing those few people? Master Xiao, you are a man, how can you even doubt a little girl?"

"Yes... yes... that's it!" Li Shiyu seemed to have found his backbone, and he spoke quickly, "What can an earring mean? What's more, I stayed in the tent last night, and Sister Murong can testify for me!"

"That's right," Murong Xiangxue stared at Xiao Fengxian as if poisoned, "Shi Yu has always been with me. Mr. Xiao is not good at things and has wronged a good person. He killed six innocent people for no reason. I'm afraid he will have to apologize with death!"

"Is that so?"

A cold and clear voice suddenly sounded.

The crowd looked for fame.

Wei Ziduan was sitting on an armchair, looking at Li Shiyu's direction.

Li Shiyu shuddered and subconsciously bit his lip.

Wei Zi!

She was so nervous for a moment that she even forgot that there was Wei Zi!
Wei Zi stood up and bowed to Zhou Xianyuan: "His Royal Highness—"

"Wei Zi!"

Murong Xiangxue snarled, her reddened pupils were full of threats.

Wei Zi ignored it: "His Royal Highness, in the middle of the night last night, Miss Li ran into Miss Li at the gate of the camp. Miss Li's temple hair and half of her body were wet by rain and dew, and her embroidered shoes were covered in mud. Thinking about it now, it looks like she just came out of the mountains. My minister can testify that Miss Li definitely did not stay in the tent last night."

Li Shiyu's body softened, and he knelt down on the ground in embarrassment: "No... no..."

Xiao Fengxian stepped forward and pulled out the three golden hairpins from her bun.

The originally exquisite hairpin tips were all worn out badly.

Xiao Fengxian sneered: "You used them to grind the hemp rope? Who ordered you to do it?"

Li Shiyu's face was like gold paper, his lips moved, and big teardrops rolled down his cheeks.

She tremblingly looked at Murong Xiangxue, Murong Xiangxue's face changed slightly, and she immediately looked away.

Li Shiyu tightly grasped the skirt of the skirt, she still remembered that last night, Murong quietly asked her to cut the ropes for transporting stone materials, once those stones fell to the ground and smashed, they could not be used to build embankments, if the project was delayed, Xiao Fengxian would be dismissed and investigated.

Letting that country bumpkin get out of Shangjing in a disgruntled manner would be the only way for them to take revenge.

They just wanted to punish Xiao Fengxian, they never thought that those craftsmen would be killed...

Li Shiyu burst into tears, not daring to identify Murong Xiangxue, crying and hugging Li Jinglin's leg: "Daddy, Yu'er was just playing for a while, and never thought that it would cause death...Daddy save me!"

"you--"

Li Jinglin couldn't hold back his face, and kicked her away: "Naughty girl!"

An accident ended with Li Shiyu being imprisoned.

Everyone dispersed, Murong Xiangxue was busy repairing her image in Zhou Xianyuan's heart, and chased after her delicately: "Brother Prince!"

Across the crowd, Xiao Fengxian looked at Wei Zi.

The girl lowered her head, avoiding his sight.

His eyes sank slightly, and he strode out of the tent.

Back in his tent, there was a girl sitting idly on the armchair.

The girl dressed in red like fire, with bright red flowers on her forehead, is Murong Jiuli.

With a smile on her lips, she picked up a chess piece with her slender fingers, and slowly dropped it on the chessboard: "Brother Fengxian, how is the matter going?"
