One second. Org, free of charge!
The eunuch laughed, his voice still as shrill as before, "Princess is confused. Even if I don't make a move, I should still apprehend this murderer."
When the Infanta Yuehai heard this, he immediately became happy. His face revealed a smile, and with a wave of his hand, he said: "Men, capture all of these suspects!"
Xiaoli stood at the very front, in a battle stance, his normally round eyes narrowed into a line.
The big girl was standing half an inch behind Xiaoli. Although she looked soft and weak, her intention to protect was exceptionally clear.
Liu Wei could not help but laugh, and the cavalrymen that were walking forward also stopped.
It might be alright for a few men to grab a pretty boy, but it would be a bit shameful for them to make a move against a few children.
"We are not the killers," the woman said angrily. "We were driving past last night and saw the body here, so we decided to stay for the time being. We are waiting for dawn to break before we report to the county. Our young master has already gone to report to the officials."
This little girl had already said what she wanted to say, so she could not help but nod in agreement with her elder sister's words.
Xiaoli was much more straightforward now, and said in a cold voice, "If you take another step closer, I'll send all of you to Hades!"
They had seen arrogant people before, but it was their first time seeing someone as arrogant as him. The group of cavalrymen were originally a little worried about these few kids, but after hearing him, they immediately became furious. Some of them directly reached out to grab Xiaoli.
The hidden guards were very excited, they moved, they moved, that person's hand was about to touch the corner of the young master's clothes, very good, one more touch, one more hit, with just one hit, they could immediately release their seals and come out at full strength, beating these people until they cried for their parents.
Yes, although the hidden guards listened more to Master Liu than to him, Lord Rong had also mentioned him. In small matters, Master Liu's orders came first, in big matters, if any one of Master Liu and Young Noble had a hair on their head injured, all of them would raise their heads and meet him.
Unlike the hidden guards' expectations, when the leader of the group was just about to grab Xiaoli's collar, he heard a cry from the air, and then, a giant hawk appeared out of nowhere with an imposing manner. Then, it swiped its claw towards the head of the riders.
Suddenly, the crowd went into an uproar. The cavalryman let out a scream and backed up a few steps. He reached out his hand to touch the crowd, and his face was covered in blood.
The Infanta Yuehai pulled her irritable mount back a few steps and almost fell off her horse a few times. Fortunately, the Eunuch Su held her back and did not injure her.
The Eunuch Su's expression was also unsightly. Looking at the giant bird that suddenly appeared, he thought to himself, 'How can there be such a powerful eagle in the vicinity of the capital?'
A hawk blocked the way to repel everyone.
But Xiaoli was not happy. He reached out his hand and the thin blade hidden inside his sleeve shined under the sunlight. He grumbled unhappily: "They are mine!"
Xiaoli was unhappy. He had already prepared a weapon, but it was useless now.
Gu Gu thought that they would receive praise, but it was actually a scolding, and immediately felt wronged, the big bird wailed and looked towards Liu Wei, begging for its last bit of forgiveness.
But unexpectedly, what welcomed them was also Liu Wei sighing as he shook his head.
The bird drooped down until it reached the top of the carriage. It hugged its belly and sat down, licking its own fur to comfort itself.
Pearl had a conscience. She rubbed the top of her head against his fur and called out to him for a while.
As if he had received the pearl's explanation, Gu Gu, in an instant, his blood was fully revived, and he became that carefree and silly bird. He stood up happily, and called out to Liu Wei: "Gu gu."
Liu Wei didn't need to listen to it to guess what Pearl and Gugu had said. To understand it clearly, other than Rong Ling, only Pearl knew about Liu Wei.
Yes, Liu Wei did not plan to make a move.
However, the Dark Guard, who was trying to repress his restless movements, was now staring at the three little peas … Xiaoli was surprised, even considering whether Pearl would cause trouble, but he had forgotten about his fiery temper.
Vicious was an eagle's instinct.
Protecting the weak was also an eagle's instinct.
Liu Wei was actually thinking very simply, that the person who was suddenly mistaken as the murderer and the person who was in charge of the arrest was actually the Infanta Yuehai, no matter how one looked at it, there was something fishy about it.
Not to mention, a dignified princess would personally make a move on a small murder case? The Eunuch Su next to the princess was a first-rate eunuch, judging by the grade of his sleeves.
Two heavy weight figures like them, one of them had an unknown identity, but were described by Rong Ling as "somewhat familiar", and didn't even hesitate to personally report the corpse for the sake of "familiar". Even if Liu Wei used his toes to think, he would be able to think of something that was off.
And this oddity was naturally the corpse's identity.
Judging from her appearance, the deceased was a beautiful lady who lived like a prince. Her ten fingers weren't even touched by the sun and spring water as she wore the clothing of a servant girl.
Yes, it wasn't a palace maid. It was a servant girl from a wealthy family.
Although the material used was of the highest quality, the appearance could only be described as that of a maidservant from a second rank official's residence.
The status of the Greencloud Kingdom was very clear. Ordinary rich and wealthy maidservants could only embroider summer chrysanthemums on their clothes. In the mansions of officials ranked five and below, the maidservants' clothes were embroidered with rose flowers.
In the official residence of the second to the fourth rank, the maid's clothes were embroidered with crabapple blossoms.
In the official residence, there were lilies embroidered on the clothes of the maidservants.
As for the palace maids, they were embroidered with peony flowers. The number of flowers varied according to their size.
On this corpse's clothes were crabapple blossoms. The quantity was three, one small. It was at least a second class servant girl from the residence of a second rank official.
However, if it was really just a simple maid, she would definitely not be able to get the princess to help.
Liu Wei also suspected that it was a scheme, but looking at the interactions he had with the Infanta Yuehai, it seemed that the Infanta Yuehai did not know that he was just passing by and specially set up an ambush.
From the look in Infanta Yuehai's eyes, his actions, including the dilation of his pupils and the ratio of his facial muscles, he really felt surprised.
After being surprised, she felt delighted, which was easy to understand.
He was here to arrest the murderer, but the murderer was his old enemy. Everything was perfect for him.
