The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 1002: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole, Using the Plan (2)
"Should - yes!" Qingluo replied casually, and couldn't help but look around.

"It's inconvenient for me to come forward on such an occasion. Yuan Shan, you and Ju Hong are waiting here. Qing Luo and Ying Zi will come with me." Chu Xunyang said, closing the neckline of his cloak, before he finished speaking. , has turned around and walked around the back alley of the mansion.

At that time, the entire post house was surrounded by people from Nine City Bingmasi, and it was impenetrable.

Chu Xunyang walked quickly, but was blocked before reaching the entrance of the alley.

However, her current status shows that no one dares to stop her afterwards. The leading guard hurriedly saluted and pleaded guilty, "I didn't realize that it was Her Highness the Princess, so please forgive me for the collision!"

"Those who don't know are not guilty, get up!" Chu Xunyang said, but while speaking, his eyes glanced at the surrounding guards sharply, and said: "When did you come here? Is there any special situation happening here?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, the humble staff and others have obtained the secret order from His Royal Highness, and they have been guarding nearby in the evening. After the incident, they immediately blocked the front and rear exits of the post house, and nothing suspicious happened." The guard replied respectfully.

Chu Qifeng had made arrangements in advance, so the mastermind behind the murder should still be in the post house.

"Well! Keep guarding. Without my second brother's order, no one is allowed to enter or leave the posthouse." Chu Xunyang nodded in satisfaction, and continued to walk into the alley, "Open the door, I will go in and have a look."

Chu Qifeng is here, if she wants to come, she can naturally appear aboveboard, there is really no need to go through the back door.

The guard was suspicious, but he didn't dare to ask more questions, he obediently called for the door to be opened.

Chu Xunyang took two maidservants into the yard through the back door, walked through the back garden, and walked around the long corridor on one side of the house.

The courtyard where Ge Xiang lives and the front hall are surrounded by key blockades, with three floors inside and three floors outside.

Chu Xunyang didn't care about Ge Xiang's situation at all, and walked directly to the front hall.

Qingluo was afraid that the guards would not understand, so she made a fuss, so she rushed to greet her first and explained the general situation.

"His Royal Highness!" The guard guarding the courtyard looked embarrassed. "His Royal Highness and several adults are discussing matters inside. I have explained that the matter is confidential and no one is allowed to come near this place."

"Are you still afraid that the palace will leak the secret?" Chu Xunyang said, the corners of his lips curled into a smile that was not a smile, "I just went to take a look and leave. If my brother will blame me, I don't need you to bear it."

The guard also knew that Chu Yi'an and Chu Qifeng had indulged her very much, and no one would pursue her if she wanted to go in, but thinking of Chu Qifeng's cold and serious expression when he gave the order, he was still uncertain, so he still hesitated, "This—— —”

"Princess!" At this moment, Jiang Liu happened to have something to pass by, so he rushed over to greet her, puzzled, "Why is the princess here in such a cold day?"

"Brother, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and people from Dali Temple are discussing matters?" Chu Xunyang asked directly without talking nonsense.

"Yes—" Jiang Liu replied, following her gaze back, but her expression was inexplicably awkward and flickering.

When Chu Xunyang saw this, he knew that the matter might be more difficult than he imagined, so he said directly: "I'll pass from behind, take a quick look and leave, and then you and your brother will just talk about it!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Jiang Liu to agree, he directly entered the back hall.

Because the commotion in that hall was really outrageous, Jiang Liu had scruples in his heart, but after thinking about it, he felt nothing, so he didn't stop her, and let her go, just waved his hand, and said to the guarding guard: "Do it!" Go about your business!"

With Jiang Liu on the top, the people below will naturally not be troublesome, and step by step retreat to their positions and stand still.

Chu Xunyang walked through the back hall and looked from behind the curtain at the back.

At that time there were about ten people in the hall, Chu Qifeng was seated at the top, several officials from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple were on the lower side, and two officials from the Nanhua Mission were on the other side.

In the middle of the hall, there were also a few people kneeling scattered.

When Chu Xunyang passed by, he heard Yao Guangtai arguing angrily and loudly with Liu Shilang, a member of the Ministry of Rites of Nanhua.

"In this post house, the people who serve in the backyard and are in charge of food and daily life are all brought by you yourself. Our people are only responsible for guarding the periphery. Now that Ge Shangshu's food has problems, you don't find the reason from your own people. , but blindly shirk responsibility and ask us to give an explanation, what is the reason for this?" Yao Guangtai sneered coldly with his face flushed.

"Anyway, this is also your imperial capital of Xiyue. We, Lord Shangshu, had an accident in the capital under your emperor's feet. As the host, it is not an exaggeration for the next official to ask His Highness the Crown Prince for an explanation, let alone... ..." Then Liu Shilang was not to be outdone, and fought hard with reason.

Chu Xunyang only heard half of it, and Qingluo's brows beside her were already tightly frowned, and she said suspiciously: "How could this person—"

Her words were only halfway through, and she didn't know how to express them specifically.

Even if Ge Xiang died unexpectedly, but before the case was formally finalized——

This person's attitude is indeed a bit extreme.

Not to mention, he was facing Chu Qifeng, the crown prince of a country.

Naturally, Chu Xunyang also noticed that this was unusual, and was about to send someone to tell Jiang Liu to come, but when he turned around, he saw that Jiang Liu had already consciously followed.

"What's going on?" Chu Xunyang asked, while opening a corner of the curtain to see the situation in the hall.

"After the second watch, Ge Shangshu suddenly started complaining of abdominal pain and couldn't get out of bed at all. Before the doctor came, his mouth and nose were bleeding, and he died." Jiang Liu stood behind him with a cold face, explaining routinely, and said, He added, "It's poisoning."

"Where's the poisoner? Didn't find it?" Chu Xunyang asked casually while observing the expressions of everyone in the hall.

Jiang Liu looked embarrassed, and after a while, he said bitterly: "After the people around him found out that he was poisoned, they immediately went to investigate, and it was found on the teacup that he used to drink tea when he met His Royal Highness in the afternoon. Remnants of the poison."

"Huh?" Chu Xunyang suddenly realized the point when he heard this.

She choked for breath and turned to look at Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu lowered his eyes, avoiding her gaze, and mockingly felt that it was nonsense: "It's been nearly three hours before and after. If someone didn't leave clues on purpose, even if it was true that something happened on the tea set at that time. The problem should have been cleaned up long ago, and the corpses should be destroyed. It is obvious that someone had bad intentions and set up a trap. However, the deputy envoy of Nanhua was unwilling to let go, so he bit the evidence to death, saying that it was His Highness be against them."

It turned out that there was such a thing.

Chu Xunyang sneered in his heart, but his expression remained calm, and he said, "What did brother say?"
