Chapter 431: harboring, ordered by the Emperor
Housekeeper Cao was so anxious, it can be seen that things were really bad… …
"Wangfei, this is bad. We are surrounded by the imperial guards. They said they wanted to search Xiao Wangfu." Housekeeper Cao said as he knocked on the door of the study room. Even if the door was unlocked, he didn't dare to go inside.
"Search Xiao Wangfu? What's going on?" Lin Chujiu locked the box and took out the key before she opens the door. When she opened the door, she saw Housekeeper Cao was very angry.
Who can't blame Housekeeper Cao? The situation was simply devastating.
Now that Xiao Tianyao was gone, the emperor simply thought the Xiao Wangfu had gone soft and deliberately decided to bully them. He sent so many guards to surround Xiao Wangfu.
If this thing spread out, how will their Xiao Wangfu continue to stand?
"Wangfei, Princess Fushou Zhang was assassinated, she got injured last night. Princess Fushou Zhang insisted that the perpetrator was a person of our Xiao Wangfu." Housekeeper Cao didn't know this issue. He just asked the imperial guards.
The Imperial Guards said that Princess Fushou Zhang, who was under house arrest outside the capital was assassinated. Some witnesses recognized the assassin as a person of Xiao Wangfu. The emperor was so furious when he heard of it and ordered the imperial guards to surround the Xiao Wangfu.
"Princess Fushou Zhang was assassinated?" Lin Chujiu slightly knitted her eyebrows and called the shadow guard: "What happened? Who injured Princess Fushou Zhang?"
"Reporting back to wangfei, Princess Fushou Zhang tied a young boy last night. When we were readying to rescue the boy, we found someone coming to save him. We didn't take a shot because the young boy was rescued the same night. As for what happened to Princess Fushou Zhang, I don't know." The shadow guard, who was kneeling on the floor, reported neither in a humble nor in a supercilious way.
This incident, they were not related to Xiao Wangfu at all.
"Who injured Princess Fushou Zhang, did you find out?" Lin Chujiu asked another question. The shadow guard said: "We didn't see the appearance of the person who injured Princess Fushou Zhang. Even the young boy, we don't know him."
Jing Chi and Tang Tang were assassins, they rarely appear in front of people. Only a few people had seen them. Su Cha had seen them before, but Lin Chujiu and the people inside Xiao Wangfu did not. Not knowing their identity was only normal.
Lin Chujiu doesn't completely know what happened, but she was not in a hurry. She simply said to Houskeeper Cao: " Let the leader of the imperial guard in, we shouldn't neglect the emperor's people." Xiao Tianyao was not in Xiao Wangfu, she shouldn't just confront things easily. Otherwise, she will lose her reputation.
"Yes." When Housekeeper Cao saw Lin Chujiu calm and not a bit angry. The fire in his heart also subsided.
It's not like it's the first time the emperor went against Xiao Wangfu. If they will get angry all the time, they will die early.
Lin Chujiu told Housekeeper Cao to invite people in, but she didn't go to see them at once. Instead, she changed clothes, and put enough jewelry to make her look like a princess.
In the face of the late arrival of Lin Chujiu, Commander Li, the person in charge, was full of irritation. Seeing Lin Chujiu coming in, he didn't pay respect, he even sarcastically said: "Xiao Wangfei, your finally here. If you didn't come out, you will be suspected of hiding people."
With his speech, he already charged Lin Chujiu for the crime. If it was ordinary people, that person will be annoyed immediately. But Lin Chujiu simply acted like she didn't hear anything. With the help of her maidservant, she just passed by Commander Li and sat down on the main sit.
Throughout the whole process, Lin Chujiu didn't look at Commander Li. She completely ignored him and the other imperial guards behind him. The other people in the main hall just stood like a pile of wood.
The next moment, a servant brought Lin Chujiu a tea. Only she was given tea. Commander Li and his party were ignored once again.
Lin Chujiu picked up the teacup and gently blew the water with the tea and slowly took a sip. She seemed like has no intention to open her mouth.
Commander Li waited for a long time, but he still can't see Lin Chujiu has the intention to open her mouth. With this, he couldn't help but frown. What does Xiao Wangfei mean? Does she think that if she does this he will compromise?
How naive!
"Xiao Wangfei… …" Commander Li cupped his fist and took the initiative to speak: "This imperial guard was ordered to find the assassin who assassinated the princess. I asked Xiao Wangfei to cooperate"
"Cooperate? Cooperate with you to let people check all over my Xiao Wangfu?" Lin Chujiu angrily said. In anger, she slammed the teacup in her hand. The slamming sound was simply shocking.
"Commander Li, isn't it?" Lin Chujiu looked at Commander Li with cold eyes: "Before you came in, did you see the words at the main entrance of Xiao Wangfu? Or you don't know how to read?"
The plaque hanging at the entrance of Xiao Wangfu was written by the first Emperor. In the whole capital, only Xiao Wangfu had plaque personally written by the first emperor. Because of it, most people dare not to rush inside easily.
This was also the reason why the imperial guards can't rush inside.
"I've seen it, but I was ordered to handle this affair. I asked Xiao Wangfei not to get angry." Commander Li cupped his fist and lowered his head. He didn't admit his wrongdoing.
"Ordered? Who ordered it?" Lin Chujiu asked, but she didn't wait for Commander Li to speak. She said: "I don't think the emperor will order to search Xiao Wangfu."
"Xiao Wangfei, the evidence of the assassination of Princess Fushou Zhang is conclusive, which is why the emperor ordered to search Xiao Wangfu. Princess Fushou Zhang is Xiao Wangfei's sister-in-law, I asked Xiao Wangfei to hand over the assassin." Commander Li insisted that the assassin was in Xiao Wangfu. He refused to give in.
"Evidence? What evidence do you have? I don't think there is an assassin in my house that wants to kill the princess." Lin Chujiu was really angry at this time.
Princess Fushou Zhang was injured and said that the assassin was in her house? Why?
What grudge Princess Fushou Zhang have against her?
And, so what if she had grudge against her? She, Lin Chujiu was not stupid enough to send an assassin.
"Come! Go bring the people in." Commander Li Zheng said to the guards behind him, but when the two guards went out, they were stopped by the guards of Xiao Wangfu.
"Xiao Wangfei… …" Commander Li looked at Lin Chujiu with dissatisfaction.
Lin Chujiu didn't lift her head, she simply said: "Accompany them, don't let them stroll around Xiao Wangfu by will. This is not a place anyone is qualified to stroll around." Her last sentence was obviously for Commander Li to hear. Commander Li's palm sweated. He had some regret in his heart.
He originally thought now that Xiao Wangye was not in the capital. Lin Chujiu, who was a woman, will be powerless. But now that he had seen her, it seems Lin Chujiu was not soft at all, rather she was very arrogant.
How many guards does Xiao Wangfu have for her to act 'justifiably strong' like this?
When he remembered the emperor's words, wanting him to find out the defense of Xiao Wangfu and the total number of guards, Commander couldn't help but be upset.
This task seems to be not easy to accomplish, but… …
He has no choice!
If he can't take advantage of the absence of Xiao Wangye in Xiao Wangfu. He will not have another chance.
Accompanied by the guards of Xiao Wangfu, the imperial guards immediately brought two people. One of them was the guard around Princess Fushou Zhang, and the other one was from the North.
After Commander Li introduced the identity of the two people, he pointed his finger to the man from the North: " This man from the north region is called Hu Weichuan. Mr. Hu witnessed the assassination of Princess Fushou Zhang last night and how the assassin fled. Unfortunately, the assassin also committed a crime in the Northern Territory and killed Futai's son. In the end, the assassin was proven innocent with the help of Xiao Wangfu."
Obviously, the other party came prepared… …
