The Evil Emperor Pursues His Wife: Sheng Chong Shifei

Chapter 138
"What are you doing?" The fourth prince, Chu Qiankang, came out from the eldest princess' mansion, and beside him was the seventeenth prince, Chu Qianyu, and a young man who also wore the clothes of a prince.

Liu Liuniang whispered to Shangguan Qing who was inside the sedan chair, "Girl, this is the fifth prince, Chu Qianjun, who used to be known as the number one in military exploits among the princes. The two people who bumped into the sedan chair were the eldest princess' son Liu Qianyi, Liu Qianhen."

Shangguan Qing noticed the word "before" sensitively.It's really interesting to think about it. Before her flying sword was taken away, even Chu Qianhan lived a very low-key life. The fifth prince with the most military achievements must have a flamboyant personality. After seeing the true strength of the brothers , must have been hit hard.

Shangguan Qing's guess was really correct, Chu Qianjun was so depressed that he was dying, and he didn't like anyone.

As for the two sons of the eldest princess's family, Shangguan Qing didn't pay much attention to them. Two people who are messing around like this don't have much ability.

Seeing the princes coming out, Liu Qianyi pointed in Shangguan Qing's direction and said, "Fourth brother, the mother who was killed by that woman, and I ask fourth brother to be the master of my younger brother's mother."

When Chu Qiankang saw Liu Liuniang standing beside the soft sedan, he already knew who was sitting in the soft sedan.

Last night, the eldest princess and the young master of Shenjitai, Zhou Ruoyun, were killed together. He also suspected that it was Shangguan Qing who made the move. That's why he didn't take any action, but waited and watched.The other princes all thought this way. If the princes did not move, the others would not dare to act.

Chu Qiankang wanted to know how far Shangguan Qing could do it.

"What's going on?" Chu Qiankang didn't listen to one side's words, but called people from both sides to ask, each side said their own reasons, and they didn't feel that they were wrong.

The eldest princess' sons want to avenge their mother.

Shangguan Qing's guards expressed their innocence, and Zhu Qing stood up and said: "My girl is seriously ill, how could she come to kill the eldest princess, it's completely unreasonable for the Luantai Division to send someone to ask the girl to question her, why hasn't she gone to court yet? It has already been determined that the girl of my family killed the person, which family's reasoning is this."

Liu Qianhen roared, "She killed my mother."

Liu Qianyi also criticized: "Yes, it's her, fourth brother must make the decision for us."

The two boys of the eldest princess's family were not forgiving, Chu Qiankang frowned, feeling difficult in his heart, neither of him wanted to offend, at this moment Chu Qianjun said: "Did Shangguanqing kill my aunt and send her to the Imperial City Division?" Just ask, why bother."

"Fifth brother be careful, the Lord of Bao'an County has a title, and he cannot be taken into custody by the Imperial City Division. He must be tried by the Luantai Division before making a decision." Chu Qianyu reminded beside him.

According to the laws of the state of Chu, the Imperial City Division dealt with criminal officials, and the Luantai Division dealt with female officials with orders. Men and women were different, and they would not be interrogated together.

"Shit..." Chu Qianjun snorted coldly.

Chu Qianyu still said in a calm tone: "The magistrate of Bao'an county offered obstetric forceps to save the world's puerpera and infants. I remember that the fifth brother's mother and concubine are going to give birth soon, and the fifth brother's family will also have a baby to import. Don't you be afraid of the maternity forceps from the magistrate of Bao'an county?" Not bless you."

"She dares..." Chu Qianjun stared at her eyes like copper bells, but his attitude obviously softened a lot.

Chu Qiankang explained to his brother: "The county lord of Bao'an, who also serves as the commissioner of the craftsman, and also has the second-rank clothing color bestowed by His Majesty, is indeed not something that the Imperial City Division can interrogate."

Only then did Liu Qianyi understand Shangguan Qing's identity, and suddenly thought of a possibility, his face became even more ferocious. He pointed to Shangguan Qing's soft sedan chair and said, "It must be her. When I went to the Craftsmanship Department, I checked the accounts, and I also targeted my mother everywhere."

Liu Qianhen also said: "It's her. I heard from Luantai Secretary that she was arrested this time to interrogate her for killing her mother."

If the two brothers say anything to each other, Shangguan Qing will be convicted.

Chu Qiankang also wanted to help the two brothers, but this matter was about a murder case, it would be small to lose face if he made a mistake, and it would not be worth losing points in front of his father.

He took a fancy to the female officer in charge of the Luantai Division and asked, "What's the matter with asking the Lord Baoan to go to the Luantai Division? Do you have any evidence to prove that the Lord Baoan killed the eldest princess?"

Dong Fangfang had already slipped away at this time, she did not get an imperial edict to arrest Shangguan Qing, she was talking to herself.

The female officer didn't know how to answer, and turned her head to find that Dong Fangfang was gone.

"Say it quickly." Chu Qiankang urged impatiently.

The female officer stuttered and told the story, the more Chu Qiankang heard it, the more he felt something was wrong, and asked with a cold face: "Is it true that the master of Bao'an County is sick in bed?"

"The county master is in the soft sedan chair over there."

Chu Qiankang strode over, but the girls didn't dare to stop them, and gave way to Chu Qiankang. Chu Qianyu followed in a hurry, Chu Qianjun frowned, but still followed.

"Mayor Bao'an County, can you come out and see me?" Chu Qiankang bowed his hands very politely.

"Sister Qing, it's my seventeenth." Chu Qianyu also came to join in the fun.

The people in the soft sedan did not answer, but knocked on the carriage three times, and an attendant pulled the curtain aside, revealing Shangguan Qing's pale and bloodless face inside.

"Fourth Highness, long time no see."

"It's been a long time. Your injury..." Chu Qiankang's words stuck in his throat. Shangguan Qing's injury was caused by the royal family. Seeing Shangguan Qing's appearance, he really couldn't say words of greeting and comfort.

"If the Fourth Highness is fine, I still have to go to the Luantai Division. Custodian Dong suspects that I have something to do with the assassination of the eldest princess, so I was ordered to cooperate with the investigation." Shangguan Qing replied calmly.

"Detained by Dong?" Chu Qiankang looked at the female officer of the Luantai Division beside him.

The female officer hurriedly said: "Dong JuJian brought us to interrogate Bao'an county magistrate. She was still here just now to prevent the two sides from fighting, and now she has disappeared."

Chu Qiankang didn't ask other questions, but asked: "Has the emperor issued an order for you to interrogate the Bao'an County Lord?"

"Juan Dong said yes."

"Have you seen the edict?"

"No...no, maybe it was a verbal order." The more the female officer spoke, the more confident she became.

"Nonsense, the imperial court's rules for the interrogation of officials and wives of the third rank and above are to invent the order. The Bao'an county magistrate has a second rank, so how can he allow you to be interrogated with a verbal order?"

"I don't know either. Custody Dong said it all." The female officer hated Dong Fangfang who had fled before the battle.

The Liu family brothers who were listening felt something was wrong, Liu Qianyi said: "Fourth brother, this woman is the murderer of her mother, how can you speak for her."

Liu Qianhen also said: "She is the murderer."

Chu Qianyu came over from behind and asked, "Is there any evidence?"

The brothers of the Liu family were all stunned. Where did they have any evidence? They all heard from the female officer next to their mother. If there was no definitive evidence to show, Chu Qianyu continued: "The Lord Bao'an was injured yesterday, and even the emperor can do it." Witness, how can she kill Eldest Aunt in such a physical condition, not to mention that there is that person beside Eldest Aunt."

Liu Qianyi struggled and didn't know what to say.

Liu Qianhen said unreasonably: "I don't care, she is the murderer who killed my mother, and I will kill her to avenge my mother."
