Huangxiu

Chapter 69 Help
Xiao Ruoyu was scratching his head, but still couldn't figure out what to do.

The Zhenwu Division won't pay any attention to me, and the Infantry Yamen is not good at investigating cases, so I can only ask the City Guards?
The city guards are all veterans, so they will definitely push each other around. I'm afraid all the time will be wasted in passing the buck.

He really couldn't think of any solution.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Ruoling secretly sighed that her brother was too kind, too simple, too honest, and too cunning.

She said gently, "Little brother, this matter still has to fall on the Zhenwu Division."

"But..." Xiao Ruoyu was puzzled.

"Take advantage of the situation." Xiao Ruoling's charming red lips uttered two words softly, and she smiled sweetly: "Think about it carefully."

"Take advantage of the situation..." Xiao Ruoyu pondered.

Whose power and whose potential can support the Zhenwu Division?

His eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly, "Prince Qing's Mansion?"

Xiao Ruoling chuckled: "You'll understand it in one go. Go ahead."

"Then should I go to Prince Qing's Mansion?" Xiao Ruoyu hesitated.

Xiao Ruoling shook her head slightly.

Xiao Ruoyu looked at her half-smile, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. He hurriedly said, "Should I go directly to the Zhenwu Division?"

Xiao Ruoling said: "If the Zhenwu Division doesn't care, you can go to Prince Qing's Mansion."

"Yes!" Xiao Ruoyu said excitedly, "Then I'll go. ... Oh, and here's the invitation."

Xiao Ruoling handed him the invitation.

Watching him leave excitedly, the petite and delicate little maid said, "Miss, can the Zhenwu Division really take care of it?"

Xiao Ruoling said: "What's the harm? Let me see the complexity of human hearts, and see the power and exertion of power, that's the most important thing."

"I think if the Zhenwu Division doesn't care, the son-in-law will." Another little maid smiled and said, "How can we allow you to be bullied, young lady!"

Xiao Ruoling looked in the direction of Prince Qing's Mansion. Her deep and bright eyes became blurred, as if her gaze had penetrated the limitations of distance and was seeing Prince Qing's Mansion.

The petite and delicate maid giggled: "Miss, are you also wondering what the son-in-law will do?"

"Just wait and see." Xiao Ruoling said.

Another tall and well-proportioned maid said, "Miss, what if the son-in-law doesn't care?"

"How is that possible!" The petite maid laughed and said, "Which man can tolerate his woman being bullied? The key lies in how to manage her. Can the son-in-law control the Zhenwu Division?"

“It’s a bit uncertain.”

"Well, he is the prince of Prince Qing's Mansion after all. If it was the prince of Prince Ying, the Zhenwu Division would definitely be dispatched in a hurry."

"Ugh……"

The two little maids both sighed.

They can also feel the fickleness of the world.

The Anguo Duke's Mansion had few people and his son was not yet an adult, so the Duke gave up his military power and became the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, which was equivalent to a loss of power.

Among the eight dukes' palaces, the Duke of Anguo's Palace is considered to be in decline.

The feeling of decline is extremely clear.

When dealing with the other seven dukedoms, it is inevitable that one will be bullied, ignored, neglected, and even somewhat despised.

It is human nature to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak, and this is also true among the eight dukedoms.

Not to mention the Duke's Mansion, this is also true among the princes.

Xiao Ruoling said, "Alright, hurry up and do your work."

"Yes, ma'am."

The two maids responded crisply and started to get busy, checking the Duke's Mansion from top to bottom.

-

Xiao Ruoyu was walking on the bustling street under the protection of several guards from the Duke's Mansion. When he saw Huang Shirong in the crowd, he was cheered up.

As the head of the West Second Hall and a true disciple of the Baiyun Sword Palace, Huang Shirong has a bright future and is extremely famous in the entire Yujing dignitary circle.

It is said that she is expected to take over the position of Jiang Qiuge, the head of the Central Division.

Xiao Ruoyu hurried forward and clasped his fists from a distance, saying, "Master Huang, Master Huang!"

"Young Master." Huang Shirong clasped his fists and smiled faintly.

Of course she recognized Xiao Ruoyu.

Although Xiao Ruoyu rarely shows up in public, he is, after all, the young master of one of the eight dukes' mansions, and a top figure in the circle of power and nobility.

However, no matter how powerful the eight Dukes' Mansions were, they could not control the Zhenwu Division, so they were neither humble nor arrogant and treated them equally.

"Master Huang, there is something that requires the help of the Zhenwu Division." He handed over the invitation and recounted the whole story in a deep voice.

"Someone pretended to be the second daughter of the Duke Kang's mansion and sent an invitation to Miss Xiao..." Huang Shirong frowned slightly. Wen Qianqian and Xu Mengyu behind her stepped forward and looked at the invitation, but didn't see anything unusual.

Wen Qianqian said, "Isn't this matter under the jurisdiction of our Zhenwu Division? We should ask the patrolling city guards."

There is no need to bother the Zhenwu Division with this kind of thing. The City Guards can handle it. If they can't handle it, they can contact the Zhenwu Division again.

Huang Shirong waved her jade hand and looked at Xiao Ruoyu: "Does the Fourth Prince know about this?"

"...He doesn't know." Xiao Ruoyu hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth and not to make excuses.

"Okay, I'll tell the Fourth Prince. Junior Sister Wen, go tell Mr. Wan and ask him to investigate this matter immediately."

"Yes, Hall Master!" Wen Qianqian agreed solemnly, took the invitation, turned around and floated away, disappearing into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Ruoyu was a little confused.

He originally thought that he would have to talk a lot and still be rejected, so he went to Prince Qing's Mansion to find Chu Zhiyuan. Only after Chu Zhiyuan personally went to find the Zhenwu Division would the Zhenwu Division take action.

I never expected that the Zhenwu Division would be dispatched so easily.

Is Zhenwusi so easy to talk to?
"Sister, if Mr. Wan takes action, he will definitely be able to find it." Xu Mengyu said with a smile: "He is a top expert in tracking and solving cases. Isn't this overkill?"

Huang Shirong clasped his fists and said, "Young Master, regardless of whether this matter has been thoroughly investigated or not, I will go to your residence tonight to report the results to you, Young Master."

"...Thank you, Master Huang!"

Huang Shirong smiled and said a few humble words.

Xiao Ruoyu said goodbye and left.

As he walked back, he reacted quickly.

Huang Shirong agreed so readily and even sent out the top detectives, probably out of consideration for Chu Zhiyuan's sake.

But he was skeptical: Does Chu Zhiyuan have such a big face?
Then his face darkened again.

Could it be that Chu Zhiyuan has some kind of relationship with Huang Shirong?

Huang Shirong is also a stunning beauty, only inferior to her sister, and few men can resist her.

Because she is a true disciple of Baiyun Sword Palace and the head of Zhenwu Division, people feel ashamed of herself.

But as a prince, he would not feel ashamed of himself and might very well want to marry her home.

Does he want to marry two princesses?

Thinking of this, he became annoyed, but then he calmed himself down and told himself not to think too much and just make random guesses.

When he returned to the Anguo Mansion and told Xiao Ruoling about it, Xiao Ruoling smiled and said, "The Fourth Prince is a member of the Zongwu Division. He usually has to deal with the Zhenwu Division. It's normal for them to have a relationship."

"So..." Xiao Ruoyu suddenly realized and smiled.

That's it!

This is help among colleagues in the officialdom.

In the officialdom, you help me and I help you, giving convenience to others is also convenient for ourselves.

The petite maid laughed and said, "Hehe, it's not in vain that you are a clerk."

The tall and well-proportioned maid whispered, "It's because of the prince's status... the uncle has a close relationship with Huang Shirong."

The master is the Left Vice Minister, so he should have some connections with the Zhenwu Division.

However, the Zhenwu Division will never help privately just because of a relationship. Otherwise, it would be misusing public resources for personal gain and will be severely punished.

Only the Crown Prince can order the Zhenwu Division to take action.

But seeing as they acted so happily, the friendship between the two men must be very close. It is definitely not just a colleague relationship, but also a personal friendship.

"Is there a love affair?" The petite Lu Xiaoqing shouted, "Does the son-in-law have someone in his heart?"

"It's possible." The slender Cheng Ju said softly, "That's why he can be so indifferent when facing the young lady."

"That makes sense!" Lu Xiaoqing clapped his hands.

Xiao Ruoling glanced at the two girls.

Lu Xiaoqing laughed and said, "Miss, after the marriage, as long as you make a move, you can win the heart of the son-in-law in one go!"

They believed it firmly, so they were not worried.

They were certain that as long as they got married, Chu Zhiyuan would be completely fascinated by Xiao Ruoling, and it would not matter who he liked originally, he would only like her.

Even though they are women, they cannot resist Xiao Ruoling's charm and are often fascinated by her. They are sure that no man can resist her.

Xiao Ruoling looked at Xiao Ruoyu and said, "Go to Prince Qing's mansion and tell him."

"...Yes." Xiao Ruoyu nodded helplessly.

He knew this truth. Since he was relying on the power of Prince Qing's Mansion, of course he had to say it. Otherwise, Prince Qing's Mansion would definitely feel resentful.
