Chapter 172 It is necessary to explain clearly to him

"When she comes back, please remember to tell me and hire a doctor for her if necessary." She brought the person back, so she couldn't just bring her back and ignore everything.

"Okay, I'll take note of this."

"Mom, the baby is back!"

While she was talking, a meat dumpling suddenly ran over to the Moon Gate. Before Xu Ruqing had time to react, the meat dumpling plunged into her arms and bumped into hers.

Xu Ruqing was hit with pain in her heart, but her face was filled with a happy smile.

She hugged Su Yian and weighed him. This kid had gained a lot of weight after not seeing him for just a few days. "It's time to lose weight. Mom can hardly hold him anymore."

Su Yian was embarrassed by being told that, her little face was buried in Xu Ruqing's neck and she said, "I hate you, mother, where is the weight on my baby?"

"Yes, mother was wrong. The baby is not fat at all. It should be called extremely cute."

"What does bursting mean?"

"It means super invincible and powerful."

Xiao Naibao raised her mouth and said, "That's right. I don't care whose son the baby is."

Seeing Su Yian acting coquettishly and cutely, Xu Ruqing felt that her heart was melting. "Tell me, what have you learned in school recently?"

The little girl counted on her fingers, "The baby has learned Liu Hui's nine chapters of arithmetic and Ouyang Xiu's poetry... The teacher also praised the baby. Mother, does the baby think it's good?"

"Awesome, really awesome~"

"It's not good, it's not good!" The mother and son were happy, but suddenly a burst of exclamation broke the harmonious and warm atmosphere.

The visitor was Qiu Ju, and she was seen running from the door with a look of panic and fear. Because she was out of control, she even walked a little unsteadily and almost tripped.

"What happened to make you so surprised? If you disturb the princess and the young prince, even if you have a hundred heads, it won't be enough." Zhiqu blamed Qiu Ju for not knowing the rules.

Only then did Qiu Ju notice Xu Ruqing and Su Yian in the yard. She reacted and knelt down to plead guilty, "This slave deserves to be punished. Please punish me, Princess."

"Well, it's not a big deal. You'd better tell me what happened."

Speaking of this, Qiu Ju trembled all over, "Princess, you don't know something. There are dead people in the pool in Yeting. Not one but several, all of them were Huansha girls in their prime."

Xu Ruqing's originally warm face froze slightly when he heard this, and asked, "How did you know about this?"

"The slave sent the clothes that the princess changed yesterday to Yeting for washing. When I went there, I happened to see Aunt Jin instructing several maids to go into the pond to retrieve the body. The slave would know after asking about it." Speaking of which, if Aunt Jin hadn't been in charge today,

If I had asked the Huansha girls to drain the pond, those corpses would not be discovered until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.

"Princess, I heard that a flower-picking thief appeared in the imperial city recently. You said that in our palace..."

Before Qiu Ju finished speaking, Zhiqu interrupted her: "Nonsense! Prince Wei's palace is heavily guarded, and it would be difficult for a fly with wings to fly in, let alone a person with two legs. It might be an accident, you

Stop scaring yourself."

After hearing Zhiqu's scolding, Qiu Ju lowered her head in shame and stopped talking in a depressed tone.

Out of intuition, Xu Ruqing felt that this matter was definitely not an accident. She put down Su Yian in her arms and handed him to Xuan Ye, and then said to Qiu Ju: "Lead the way, I want to see what kind of person it is."

Big thief, you dare to pick flowers on the property of Prince Wei."

Qiu Ju and Zhiqu looked at each other, "Yes."

…

"Be careful, the materials over there are all valuable, don't let these dirty things get in your way."

"yes."

Several little maids struggled to drag the corpses out one after another. The straw mats wrapping the corpses were still dripping with water. It looked like they had just been salvaged.

"Manager Jin, what are you doing?"

Manager Jin is a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties, wearing a gray-brown dress. When she saw that the person coming was Xu Ruqing, she lowered her hand covering her nose, and a smile appeared on her old, fleshy face. "

Oh, it turns out to be the princess, what kind of wind brings you here?"

"I heard that someone died in Yeting, so I came over to see what was going on."

Hearing this, Steward Jin looked a little ugly: "It's just a few girls who accidentally slipped and fell in while playing by the pool. The old slave has already settled them according to the rules. Don't worry, Princess."

"Don't worry, you won't know until I see it in person."

Xu Ruqing stopped a group of maids and motioned them to put the body down on the spot.

A total of four women died in this accident, all of them were young Huansha girls who had just arrived in Yeting to work. After a general inspection of the bodies, as Xu Qing expected, the specific causes of death of the four deceased were not.

They died of drowning, but died of excessive blood loss. There was not a drop of blood in their bodies. The method of committing the crime was very similar to the previous murders she encountered.

Manager Jin on the side looked at Xu Ruqing's skillful movements and felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest. "Princess, stop it quickly. If you let dirty things bring bad luck to you, I will not bear this responsibility."

!”

"Master, it's your turn to be a slave. If you don't want to be slapped, just keep your mouth shut." Zhiqu shouted.

After a while, Xu Ruqing stood up and let out a long breath: "Inform the people in the Criminal Division to send a hundred Su family troops to seal off the entire Yeting and strictly investigate all suspicious characters. Before the matter comes to light, any one of you will

No one is allowed to even take a step outside Yeting without permission."

Everyone present couldn't help but guess when they heard what Xu Ruqing said. They all whispered to each other and looked surprised.

Xu Ruqing ignored everyone's whispers and went all the way back to Yelan Pavilion. After purifying herself with hot water, she went to find Su Yichen.

This matter is not a trivial matter. If Touching dares to touch the head of King Wei, it shows that the flower-picking thief does not take Su Yichen seriously. To be serious, this is a very arrogant and provocative behavior. Whether it is to seek compensation for the innocent woman who died.

To seek justice, or to maintain the majesty of Prince Wei's Mansion, Su Yichen, as the master of Prince Wei's Mansion, had to explain clearly to him.

When Su Yichen saw Xu Ruqing, there was a hint of surprise on his face behind the mask: "Why are you back again? What books are you looking for this time?"

"I really have something to do with the prince when I come here this time."

"Oh? Tell me."

"Someone died in Yeting, and I suspect it is related to the flower-picking bandits that have been spreading in the imperial city recently."

When Su Yichen heard this, he paused while writing the memorial, and then put the wolf hair aside: "I heard that you just sent a hundred Su family troops to guard Yeting?"

"yes."

"Since you know what's going on, why did you come to see me?"
