Chapter 130 The Building Tilts (8)

Fu Guan's rhetorical question was really tricky, Lou Xiyue choked and didn't speak for a while.

She fixed her eyes on Fu Guan, then leaned back on the chair, and opened up a little distance from him - Lou Xiyue felt that she was not used to being too close to him just now.

She said: "If we want to start the investigation from the casino, I have no objection. It's just that Princess Anning and her son-in-law have been arrested, and the identities of the mob have been confirmed. Then, it won't take long for the government to investigate the casino. .”

Lou Xiyue took a sip of tea and said, "I'm afraid that when we want to investigate, the casino will be closed by the government. Even if we want to investigate, we may not be able to find useful clues."

Fu Guan said: "The time is tight, and we need to act as soon as possible." He cleaned up the debris on the table, and put the bowl of bird's nest that was so cold back: "Tomorrow I will ask for leave from Dali Temple. , you will go to the casino with me to see what happened."

"Well, yes. Wait—" Lou Xiyue suddenly paused, "You mean, it's just me and you?"

Hearing this, Fu Guan raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "Why, spies from the prominent family, are you still afraid? You failed to get any useful clues from the princess's mansion today, so to make up for it, you should be there tomorrow." Find something useful in the casino?"

Of course Xiyue was going to the casino building, she was puzzled why Fu Guan didn't bring Xuan Miao and Xuan Yi with her.

"What about your two powerful guards? They won't go with us then?"

Fu Guan: "They're too eye-catching, how can I make an unannounced visit with them? Besides, I have other important things for them to handle. I don't need them to accompany me when I go to the casino tomorrow."

Lou Xiyue asked a lot: "What do you want them to do?" At this critical moment, he actually sent two helpers away. Did he think that the inside of the casino was not something to be afraid of, or did he have other ulterior motives?

Fu Guan glanced at her a few times, and seeing her eyeballs rolling, he knew that she was thinking wildly again.

"I have other arrangements, and this has nothing to do with the corruption case, Linlang Pavilion, or even the transaction between you and me. I can tell you that what I am going to do will not harm your interests, You can rest assured."

Lou Xiyue: "...I have nothing to worry about, you are too wordy."

"Really?" Fu Guandao: "I don't mean anything else by saying this. I just hope that when you and I cooperate, you can have some minimum trust in me. At least don't suspect that I will break the contract at any time."

He smiled, and said again: "Cooperation without a basis of trust is not beneficial to both of you and me. Miss Lou is extremely intelligent, you can't understand this truth, right?"

Lou Xiyue secretly reflected on herself.She thought to herself that she really should apologize for being suspicious of Fu Guan.But she turned her head to look at the other person's face, and for some reason, she couldn't open her mouth to apologize.

Looking at that face, a strange emotion suddenly rose in her heart.There seemed to be some palpitations, so palpitating that she wanted to avoid the eyes of the person in front of her, and even wanted to punch this face.

It's so weird.

Lou Xiyue decided to ignore Fu Guan for the time being.

So she looked away blankly, and then replied with a "hmm" lightly.

Fu Guan opened the door, and she walked outside.Across a threshold, Fu Guan asked her: "Do I need to send you back?"

Lou Xiyue: "..." She put on a cold face and said two words: "No need."

After finishing speaking, she left without looking back. When she left, she didn't even forget to take the food box back as it was.

Fu Guan stood there for a while.He watched Lou Xiyue straighten his back when he left, and unconsciously watched for a long time.After a while, Xuan Yi came over.

Xuan Yi looked at the courtyard that had been deserted for a long time, and then looked at Fu Guan in confusion: "Master, what are you laughing at?"

The corners of Fu Guan's mouth drew back into a line, and he turned back to the room: "It's nothing. It's late, and there are important things to do tomorrow, so go back and rest."

Xuan Yi: "Yes..."

He shook his head, and when he left, he muttered, "Why is the prince always acting weird these days. And the new princess, she is also weird..."

*
In the early morning of the second day, when Lou Xiyue came back from sword practice, Yunzhi trotted in after washing up, her face was flushed and she was out of breath.When she saw Lou Xiyue, she quickly said:

"Your Majesty, I heard some terrible news just now, and I ran back immediately—you must have never imagined that the assassin who appeared on the day of the Flower Moon Banquet was actually the assassin sent by Princess An Ning!"

Lou Xiyue had already guessed this.She wasn't surprised by this: "I know that. Is there anything else?"

"You, you know?" Yunzhi was stunned for a moment, and then said:

"Oh, there's more! Last night, Lord Yan of the Yan Mansion, along with his son-in-law and others were all put in prison and severely beaten. It is said that they participated in the corruption case of the Pingjiang prefect."

Lou Xiyue also knew about this.

She said: "The Yan family must have committed more than this crime. Princess An Ning is also involved, this case still needs to be investigated." As soon as she finished speaking, Lou Xiyue asked again:

"What about the female relatives of Yan Mansion? Are they also imprisoned?"

She has some understanding of the laws of the Great Xuan Dynasty.Whenever an official in the court made a mistake, was dismissed from his post and thoroughly investigated, and his home was ransacked and imprisoned, most of the women's family members and collateral relatives in the mansion would also be imprisoned.

Those who are light, regardless of men or women, will be sold into slavery, and those who are serious will be exiled to the frontier.

I just don't know how the Holy Majesty judged it.

But at this moment Yunzhi flattened her lips and said: "The female family members of the Yan mansion are doing well. Especially Miss Yan, in a few days, she will marry into Prince Yin's mansion and become Prince Yin's side concubine!"

"Ok?"

Lou Xiyue stopped moving.

This development was something she never expected.She said: "Why is Ms. Yan suddenly going to marry Prince Yin?" She thought for a while, and said: "Ms. Yan is infatuated with Fu Guan and will not change, is it because he will not marry?"

A few days ago, Yan Ruyu was still hostile to her, Princess Xuanping, why did she give up Fu Guan and choose Prince Yin just overnight?

Yunzhi shook her head and said: "This slave doesn't know either. But I heard from people outside that it was Prince Yin who entered the palace last night to ask the Holy One to order a marriage. I don't know what Prince Yin and the Holy One said. Someone came from the palace early this morning There is news from the palace that the Holy Majesty has agreed to Prince Yin's request."

Lou Xiyue pondered, thinking that this matter was weird inside and out.

Immediately afterwards, Yunzhi said: "In addition, apart from the consort and Yan Yun being dismissed from Yan's mansion, the old general and other relatives are still staying in the mansion well. Although the title, official position and family property bestowed by the ancestors are gone, but There is still life left.

"My lord remembers that Old General Yan has made great contributions to Daxuan, and he can't bear to add more crimes. Therefore, he also let the old man enjoy his old age in Yan's old residence."

Speaking of this, Yunzhi said unwillingly: "Compared with the Yan family, Princess An Ning is much more miserable. She was deprived of the title of princess, demoted to a commoner, and was imprisoned in a dark prison together with her son-in-law. .

"Damn it, Princess An Ning is clearly asking for trouble with her mother because of Miss Yan. How come Miss Yan can safely marry into Prince Yin's mansion when the princess is punished? This is too..."

Before finishing speaking, Qingshuang hastily interrupted: "Yunzhi speaks carefully!"
