"Yes... I pointed it out to him..." Wang Xiaonian lowered his head and finally said it.
"Well, it turns out that Mu Chengbai didn't know Ye Xiao at first, it was because you met Ye Xiao, because Ye Xiao once blackmailed you, so you held a grudge, so you instigated Mu Chengbai to trouble Ye Xiao? Isn't it?" the prince asked calmly in a low voice.
But this calm voice made Wang Xiaonian's heart beat violently, and he almost fainted from fright.
"… yes."
Wang Xiaonian said this word with great difficulty, and he clearly felt that the eyes of the princess above were a little colder. Wang Xiaonian couldn't help shivering.
"Then what?"
"Then there was a conflict between the two. Ye Xiao made a sudden move and hit...hit Mr. Mu...knocked Mr. Mu to the ground...Mr. up up..."
Wang Xiaonian's face was pale, and he stammered as he narrated the development of the matter, sweat dripping down his face.
"Ye Xiao beat Mr. Mu and knocked Chengbai to the ground..." The prince frowned: "As far as I know, Ye Xiao is known as the third young master of the capital, but he is just a dandy waiting to die...Mr. Peak cultivation base...and two guards!"
He looked at Wang Xiaonian playfully: "Ye Xiao hit Mr. Mu? And knocked him to the ground?"
"Yes... That's it..." Wang Xiaonian stammered, almost paralyzed, never dreaming that such a thing would happen to him.
If he didn't want to design and frame Ye Xiao, how could what happened today
Ye Xiao, who should die the most and is also the least capable, has nothing to do, but Mu Chengbai, who should not die the most and is known as a master, is dead!
Wang Xiaonian felt that this was God playing a big joke on him!
So absurd!
"Oh..." The prince nodded noncommittally: "Go on."
"Ye Xiao escaped, and Mr. Mu and his party chased after... and then... and then I went home..." Wang Xiaonian couldn't help it when he said this, tears poured out crazily, and wailed loudly: "His Royal Highness... What will happen in the future?" I don't know anything anymore..."
"What you caused... You provoked... Then you started fighting, and you just went home like this? Now that my brother is dead, you still want to tell me that you don't know anything?!" the prince The concubine stared at Wang Xiaonian full of resentment, and there was a strong murderous look in her voice, which was undisguised.
"I, I, I... Mr. Mu wants to kill Ye Xiao, so that I can avoid suspicion... I... the villain is also forced to help..." Wang Xiaonian sniveled and cried. At this moment, he was really scared out of his mind.
"Come on, take this bastard out and chop it up!" Enraged, Wang Xiaonian fainted on the spot with the order.
The crown prince waved his hand, frowned and said: "Wang Xiaonian is at best just an inducement, killing is useless, but it makes his subordinates renounced. After all, Wang Danian is in charge of the head of the guards in the mansion... Besides, I think Cheng Bai's death is probably very strange."
"Strange?" The Crown Princess raised her brows, "What could be so strange?"
"Ye Xiao is just a dude, he absolutely has no ability to kill Mu Chengbai!" The prince put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "This matter... there must be... a force that we don't know about."
There was a sharp light in his eyes: "This matter needs to be investigated in detail."
"But no matter what, it is certain that it has something to do with Ye Xiao!" The princess' eyes were murderous, "My brother, I must not die in vain! This Ye Xiao must be buried with him!"
The prince smiled wryly, and said: "This also needs to be considered in the long term. Ye Xiao is naturally nothing, but his father Ye Nantian is the pillar of the empire with a large army in his hands and stationed in the northern border! Hurry up, the countries are ready to move, wars are frequent, and the princes in the country are also using their own methods... At this moment, it is not wise to rashly kill the son of the empire's number one general!"
The crown prince's face turned cold: "Chen Bangguo! This is not okay, and that is not okay. Could it be that my brother died for nothing?"
The prince sighed: "There are priorities, and we must always consider the long-term plan and the overall situation... Let's start with Ye Xiao. If there is really a real murderer behind the scenes, he will kill Ye Xiao rashly, resulting in no proof. The real murderer is at large. , is really let the elder brother die in vain."
"Okay, then I'll wait for your news!" The princess snorted coldly, walked out quickly with a burst of fragrant wind, walked to the door, and turned back: "But this Wang Xiaonian, don't let him go lightly!"
"The staff is responsible for eighty!" The prince frowned: "Life and death are fate."
Ordinary warriors have eighty sticks, and I'm afraid they can beat people to death. Wang Xiaonian is just an ordinary son, and his body has been hollowed out by wine and sex. Even if he has some force, it is definitely not worth mentioning.
If he was punished eighty times with a stick, he would definitely be dead. So the crown prince pondered again, and said: "Let Wang Danian carry out the execution himself!"
Wang Danian beat his own son... Can he be killed
"Hmph!" The Crown Princess snorted heavily, turned around and left.
The prince watched the princess leave without moving his face, clapped his hands slowly, and said, "How is the investigation going?"
A man in black came in respectfully and said, "There is basically no difference between what Wang Xiaonian said about this matter, but there are a few things that are very strange."
The prince frowned slightly, but did not speak.
"The first strange thing is that everyone saw with their own eyes that Ye Xiao really defeated Mu Chengbai at the beginning; but as far as I know, Ye Xiao's cultivation level can never do this."
"Because of this, my subordinates went to check Mu Chengbai's body, and found...his dantian was injured, but...as we all know, his fatal injury was just a knife in the back. It was extremely clean..."
"Then, there is a problem with the injury of the dantian. That is obviously...someone had sealed his dantian before. That's why Ye Xiao could knock him down...and the person who sealed his dantian is definitely a super expert! "
"Super expert..." The prince muttered to himself, paced slowly, nodded slowly, and said, "There are more?"
"Yes, Mu Chengbai followed Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao didn't go very far, but turned a corner, hid, and then went home. Someone has seen this..."
Ye Xiao's old way of setting up doubts really had a significant effect.
The prince frowned even tighter.
The man in black said: "But Mr. Mu still chased him out, and chased him to a mountain, a forest, and a river; then he was killed there. Among them, there are too many things that I can't figure out."
The prince nodded: "What do you think?"
"The subordinates thought that the fatal injuries of Mr. Mu and the two guards were very smooth... two guards were stabbed at the same time, and one's wrist was broken. Obviously, the shooter grabbed the knife in an instant and killed two people at the same time! This is not true at all. It looks like an ordinary master's hand, even if it is an ordinary peak of the earth element realm, it may not be able to do it; instead, it looks like..." The man in black hesitated for a moment, and said: "... like a Daoist swordsman. Grandmaster."
"Grandmaster of Tianyuan Sword Realm!"
It was very difficult for the man in black to say these six words.
The crown prince raised his eyebrows slightly, slowly raised his eyelids, and said: "Master Tianyuan Saber Realm... Are you sure?" There was an inexplicable look in his eyes.
"Yes." The man in black lowered his head.
The prince was silent for a while, and said: "So... this matter has nothing to do with Ye Xiao?"
The man in black hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't be sure."
"If there are other powers who want to attack Cheng Bai, whose power will it be? For what?"
The prince asked thoughtfully.
In the voice, a sense of aura slowly took shape.
The man in black stood with his hands down, not daring to say a word.
The prince was just talking to himself, and this was not a question that needed to be answered. And he didn't dare to answer.
There are too many things involved in this.
The prince's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly: "Let's start with Ye Xiao and start an investigation..."
"yes."
"As for other discoveries... put it down for now."
The prince turned around, flicked the sleeves of his bright yellow robe, and left calmly.
But there was a strange look in the eyes of the man in black. After following the prince for many years, he understands best: the more the prince behaves like he doesn't care about a certain matter, the more he actually cares in his heart!
He has firmly remembered.
But why should other things be suppressed
A trace of fear flashed in the eyes of the man in black, as if he saw... In the near future, the imperial city will be filled with bloody storms!
There is a sentence that he didn't dare to say: Even if Ye Xiao can't kill Mu Chengbai, it may not be the hands of the other princes. You know, among the eight major families, the other families also like to see Mu Cheng die in vain.
But on this point, he could only hold it tightly in his heart.
…
At this moment, Ye Xiao is still sitting cross-legged, carefully feeling the process of gradually accumulating vitality in his dantian; this feeling is exactly his favorite feeling.
Because, it will make him feel like 'I'm getting stronger'... that kind of feeling.
In fact, is there any martial artist who is not obsessed with this feeling!
Just when Ye Xiao was feeling light and drunk, the housekeeper walked in quietly and coughed lightly.
With a reminder, Ye Xiao woke up immediately and said, "What's the matter?"
Seeing Ye Xiao's practice posture, the housekeeper couldn't help being inexplicably surprised, and said, "Master, there is one thing that needs to be confirmed by you."
"What's the matter?" Ye Xiao frowned.
"Did you kill Mu Chengbai?" The butler looked at Ye Xiao and said in a straightforward tone.
Ye Xiao was really taken aback by a very plain sentence.
With a word that moved his heart, Ye Xiao felt more and more clearly that the housekeeper in his house was really not simple.
And it's not that simple.
