Jin Qiu paused, raised his head, and asked Lu Qiao, "If you are the prince, and you want to put Lord Xia to death, and Lord Xia is about to abscond before you have time to report the matter to His Majesty, what should you do?" Do?"
Lu Qiao bit her lower lip, thought for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Help your Majesty first, and send someone to surround the entire Xia Mansion?! Or, the United Criminal Department will come to arrest people first?!"
"Finally got the answer right." Dongfang Jing glanced at Lu Qiao, and sighed helplessly, "Unfortunately, I only got half of the answer right. It's right to come to arrest someone, but it's definitely not the Ministry of Punishment!"
"Huh?" Lu Qiao raised her head with a dazed look on her face.
Dongfang Jing went on to explain, "The Ministry of Punishment is in charge of the country's judiciary. For officials above the third rank in the court, they can only be apprehended if the case is filed and His Majesty nods. Your Majesty is still unaware of Mr. Xia's matter. If Yu Chimo calls the Ministry of Punishment Humans are bound to fall into the mouth!"
"Oh!" Lu Qiao was thoughtful, seeming to understand a little.
"Besides, Mr. Xia told me earlier that he has contacts with people in the Jianghu, and there are at least a hundred brothers guarding his Xia mansion in the dark! It is also because of this that His Royal Highness only dared to attack him at Jiuyi Mountain. , and dare not assassinate Xia Mansion at night! Yu Chimo wants to intercept Master Xia, at least he has to prepare a man of one hundred and ten, and the Ministry of Punishment does not control the military power. How can so many troops be mobilized in a short time?" Dongfang Jing picked Mou asked back.
"Where will His Royal Highness call the troops to deal with it?" Luqiao asked with a puzzled face.
"Yeah, where should he dispatch the troops? Heh, hehe..." Dongfang Jing asked back, but laughed out loud.
Jin Qiu stood aside and remained silent, obviously seeing through her thoughts.
Prince's House.
Dongfang Si was still discussing political affairs in Yuchimo's study, and Huaying came to report in a hurry.
"Master, this subordinate was ordered to inspect the surroundings of Xia Mansion, and found something abnormal!" Huaying knelt on one knee, frowning.
Yu Chimo was slightly taken aback, "Say."
Hua Ying said, "Since noon today, Xia Mansion's servants and maids have been going out with their packages on their backs, one after another. Up to now, they have almost left!"
"What do you mean?!" Yu Chimo's expression shook.
"This subordinate has brought a person back. If you don't believe me, ask him." Huaying pushed a servant from the Xia Mansion in from the door, and said coldly, "Tell me, what happened in the Xia Mansion, you guys Why did everyone leave with their packages on their backs?!"
"Your Highness, spare me! I don't know anything!" The house slave was also a cowardly master, and quickly confessed everything the housekeeper had said to them.
"That's how it happened. Master Xia gave us severance pay and told us to leave before evening. According to the housekeeper, he might... maybe go back to his hometown in the countryside!"
When Dongfang Si heard this, his expression was shocked, and he looked back at Yu Chimo and said, "His Royal Highness, there must have been a leak somewhere, letting Xia Qinglan know about our plan. He is a guilty conscience, and he should be planning to run away!"
"How can that be done?!" Yuchimo's eyes turned hard, "He ran away in fear of crime. Although his charges can be confirmed, he can't be beheaded in front of Zongzheng Fusu. This palace is not reconciled! Huaying, you Bring someone into Xia Mansion, and you must take Xia Qinglan down!"
"This, this..." Huaying hesitated, "Master, I'm afraid this won't work. The Xia mansion is surrounded by Zongzheng Fusu'an's staff, and there are like clouds of experts. Even if we inquire about news, we can only stare at the periphery, trying to get closer It is difficult. If there is no legitimate reason, and casually bring some people into the Xia Mansion, they will most likely be killed by Zongzheng Fusu's men on the spot!"
