"I don't know either. He died in the study when I saw it today. The reason is currently being investigated.
However, Qiao Qing is the only one who has made enemies with the Xiahou family recently, and she is the only one with the motive and ability to commit the crime!
She tried to kill me last night! But I'm very skilled and couldn't let her succeed. This is her deliberate revenge! "
Before Yin Lei answered, Xu Mian beside him said: "If Miss Xiahou has no evidence to confirm that Miss Qiao did it, it is better not to jump to conclusions. As for what you said that Miss Qiao wanted to kill you last night,"
After saying this, he paused and said, "You are forcing her to have a boyfriend. It is only natural for her to kill you."
"You!" Xia Houchang's face became extremely ugly when he heard this, and then he looked at Yin Lei, "Emperor Yin, we are just grasshoppers on the same rope. Your people are so mocking me and prefer to help that little bitch, you just Don’t care?!”
Upon hearing this, Yin Lei turned around and scolded Xu Mian, then looked at Xiahou Shang and said, "Xiao Shang, please forgive me and accept the change. Duke Xiahou is the pillar of the Xia Kingdom. He suddenly died in vain. As the king of a country, I will not give up. Once If you find out who it is, you will be severely punished!"
Xia Houchang nodded when he heard this, but didn't answer anything.
Yin Lei put his lips together and coughed lightly, then started to get to the point, "Xiao Shang, I am also very sad about the death of Duke Xiahou, but currently the Xia Kingdom is in the midst of internal and external troubles, with the Ruan Kingdom looking at you from outside, and powerful family members inside with arrogant ambitions.
The Xiahou family is the backbone of the Xia Kingdom's military strength. Once the news of Duke Xiahou's death is released, the Ruan Kingdom will definitely take advantage of the situation and raise troops to invade. And the Quan family is very likely to take the opportunity to rebel.
So, I want to block this news. What do you think? Of course, after I find out the murderer and avenge Duke Xiahou, I will definitely let him be buried with great splendor. "
Xia Houchang fiddled with his hair and said, "Yes, yes."
Before Yin Lei could show joy when he heard this, the other party continued: "But Emperor Yin has to show some sincerity."
Yin Lei smiled slightly, "What does Xiao Chang want? Oh, by the way, although you are a girl, you are not inferior to any son. I think that after the matter of Duke Xiahou is settled, I will let you inherit his title. At that time, You will be the first duchess of Xia Kingdom, how about it, is this sincerity enough?"
Xia Houchang's eyebrows jumped when he heard this, but when he thought about what he really wanted, he said:
"Emperor Yin is really good at planning for himself. Now the entire Xiahou family's gun manufacturing depends on me. I am my father's only daughter, so I should inherit his title.
Although Xia Kingdom does not have a duchess now, it is not the case before. You use my money to talk to me about your sincerity? "
Yin Lei's heart sank slightly when he heard this, but he still had a smile on his face, "What kind of sincerity does Xiao Shang want from me?"
"Isn't Emperor Yin the clearest?" Xia Houchang said: "You know that I like Jun Yexuan, and he is the only bargaining chip you can use to negotiate terms with me."
Yin Lei frowned, "But to be honest, just now, I got news that the poison in his body has been cured, and now I have no way to contain him."
Xia Houchang also frowned when he heard this, but then he crossed his arms and said: "That is Emperor Yin's own business. In short, I only want the results, no matter what the means or what, you can just decide on your own."
After hearing her words, Yin Lei's heart sank again.
