Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child

Xiao Yan's expression became more and more ugly.

Thanks to his self-confidence and five senses, they were followed, and he still hadn't found out.

He pursed his lips slightly and said coldly.

"They could have been hiding in the dark, but now they suddenly show up to snatch the donkey bones, which shows that our investigation is in the right direction, and we are approaching the truth step by step."

Having said that, everyone did not feel relieved, and the mood became even heavier.

Now they have only found a little bit of fur, and there are already so many masters chasing them.

If they continue to investigate, the situation in the future will definitely be more dangerous.

Yuan Jin came back soon.

He bent down and bowed, reassuring.

"Xiaguan has sent people to hunt down assassins outside the city. Please rest assured, His Royal Highness, as long as they are still in Bashu County, Xiaguan will definitely catch them and give you an explanation!"

Hearing these words, Yu Niaowei showed a strange expression.

"Tonight, Prince Lang and I had no plans to leave the city.

It was the people under the king's hands who encountered a little trouble and wasted time.

We had to make an impromptu decision to go out of town to find people.

As a result, he was attacked by assassins on the way back to the city.

Yuan Junshou, do you think all this is a coincidence? "

Yuan Jin looked at her blankly: "Who are you?"

Without waiting for Yu Curly to answer, Xiao Lian spoke first.

"She is the princess of this king, you answer her question."

Yuan Jin hurriedly bowed his hands towards Yu Cuiwei: "Xiaguan visits Princess Princess. If Princess Princess has doubts in her heart, even if you say it, Xiaguan will definitely check it out."

Yu curling: "You have a clerk under your command who brought people to trouble us over and over again. I didn't take him seriously at first, but tonight it was because of his harassment that we temporarily decided to leave the city. , and we were assassinated not long after we were separated from the clerk."

Yuan Jin broke down in a cold sweat when he heard it: "How could there be such a thing? Dare to ask the princess, who is the official's last name? The lower official must examine him carefully!"

Yu curling: "I don't know his name."

Yuan Jin: "Then I will call all the little officials in the mansion and let you recognize them one by one."

Yu curling said: "Don't be so troublesome, I remember his appearance, I can draw it for you to see."

Yuan Jin immediately ordered someone to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and personally spread paper and ink for the princess of the county.

He has seen many portraits of people and knows that there is a big gap between portraits and real people, so he has no hope for the works of Princess Princess, but he does not dare to dispel the interest of Princess Princess, so he can only stand beside him silently. watch.

But when he watched Princess Princess draw a vivid facial outline on the paper with just a few pens, he couldn't help being stunned.

According to the image in memory, Yu curled up and drew continuously, the facial features became clearer and clearer, and the whole portrait became more and more realistic.

It was so real that it seemed to come alive at any time.

Yuan Jin was amazed at the exquisite painting skills of the princess of the county, and couldn't help but exclaimed in admiration.

"This painting is wonderful!"

Yu Curly put down the brush and asked, "Have you ever met this person?"

Yuan Jin looked at the portrait carefully: "It's very familiar, but I can't remember who it is."

There are many small officials in the mansion. As a county governor, he is very busy every day. How can he have time to remember a little-known official?

Yuan Jin called the long history of the house and asked, pointing to the man in the portrait.

"Do you know this person?"

Chang Shi was in charge of personnel changes in the official county governor's mansion. He knew all the officials at the top and bottom of the mansion, so he recognized it just by looking at it.

"This is a small official under Gao Dianshi, named Li Jia, who is responsible for the security of an area east of the city."

Yuan Jin immediately said: "Bring people here!"

Seeing that the adult looked bad, Chang Shi didn't dare to ask more questions, so he hurriedly responded.

"Here!"

Chang Shi hurriedly stepped back.

He's been gone for a long time.

Yuan Jin felt uneasy in his heart. From time to time, he would take a peek at the Prince of Lang and the Princess, for fear that the other party would be unhappy.

Just when Yuan Jin was about to sit still and was about to call someone to find Chang Shi, he saw Chang Shi rushed in in a hurry.

Without waiting for Yuan Jin to ask questions, Chang Shi fell to his knees on the ground and said everything in one go.

"Sir, the governor went to Li Jia only after the official was down. He was told that he was not in the mansion, so the official took someone to his house, only to find that he had died in the house!"

Yuan Jin's expression changed, and he hurriedly asked, "How did he die?"

Chang Shi: "Yes, he committed suicide by hanging. When we got to his house, he was dead."

If you are not guilty, how can you commit suicide?

Yuan Jin couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart. Could it be that Li Jia really conspired with the killer to assassinate Prince Lang?

But Li Jia is just a little-known little official, he has nothing to do with the king of Langjun, how can he take the risk and go against the king of Langjun?

Li Jia's death was very sudden, but Xiao Juan didn't react much.

he asked quietly.

"Where's Li Jia's body?"

Chang Shi didn't know the identity of the person in front of him, so he didn't answer, but looked up at Yuan Jin.

Yuan Jin said angrily, "Look at what I do? Just tell me what you know!"

Since the county governor has said so, Chang Shi naturally has nothing to worry about, and immediately said.

"The body has been brought back to the county governor's office."

Xiao Lian: "Carry in."

Chang Shi went to see Yuan Jin again.

Yuan Jin stared: "Why don't you go soon?!"

Chang Shi hurriedly got up and went outside to ask someone to carry the body into the house.

Luo Pingsha stepped forward and untied the white linen covering the corpse.

Li Jia lay straight on the stretcher, his face was gray, his eyes were closed, and there was a deep streak on his neck.

Luo Pingsha put on gloves, carefully checked the marks on Li Jia's neck, and quickly came to a conclusion.

"There were two strangle marks on the neck of the deceased, one of which was directed backwards, and the other was directed upwards. The deceased should have been strangled with hemp ropes, and then hanged to a high place, disguised as a The illusion of hanging yourself."

Yuan Jin hurriedly said, "So Li Jia didn't commit suicide in fear of crime?"

Yu curling: "Hmm."

Before Yuan Jin could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard her continue.

"Li Jia should have been silenced by his accomplices."

Yuan Jin was stunned.

Yu Weiwei turned to look at Xiao Lian who was sitting beside him, and asked in a low voice.

"Could it be the hands of those assassins just now?"

Xiao Lian: "It's very possible."

Luo Pingsha stood up: "Judging from the temperature and stiffness of the corpse, the time of death should have been half an hour ago."

Chang Shi murmured: "Half an hour is just the time to go to and from Li Jia's house. So, as soon as we arrived at Li Jia's house, he died, which is too coincidental. As long as we arrive one step earlier, Li Jia may Neither will die."

Yuan Jin said, "Yes, as long as you arrive one step early, you can meet those assassins head-on."

Chang Shi immediately shrank his neck and did not dare to say a word.

He was just a civil servant, and if he really met an assassin face-to-face, he would definitely be more fortunate.
