"It's indeed the Qiao family."

Mr. Xi turned around after hearing the sound and saw Princess Zhenbei in gorgeous clothes.

At first glance, the princess seemed a bit familiar, but after a closer look, she seemed too familiar.

The three brothers Xiao Ying's eyes lit up the moment they saw their mother, and after shouting, they came to her side.

After Yu Wei comforted the children one by one, he said to the prefect: "Master Xi, Aunt Mei has admitted it herself. The Qiao family wants to kill the widow and children of the town king. What are you still doing?"

The magistrate quickly said yes, and had to swallow the question about why the princess was here.

A good banquet almost led to a murder, and the target was the Princess of Zhenbei's family. Even if the Qiao family was extremely capable, in the prefecture, official matters had to be taken care of first.

After all, the real owner is watching from the side.

He notified the police to fetch someone, but when things got to this point, he had no choice but to notify his wife to disperse the guests.

But the news from the maid made his temples pound.

"Sir, five corpses were recovered from the lotus pond."

Mr. Xi felt it was hard to breathe, so he asked with a blue face: "Who is it?"

The maid said: "I don't know them. They are three men, wearing black clothes and covering their faces. Madam said she wants to dismiss the guests and ask the adults to come over quickly."

Mr. Xi exhaled a deep breath, as long as he was not a guest in the mansion.

But it’s also a big deal.

He turned around and was about to say sorry to the princess behind him, but the other party said: "Sir, don't be anxious, I have to go over this matter. They wanted to kill my daughter, and my secret guard accidentally killed them."

Mr. Xi was numb. He should have thought that what happened today was that the Qiao family took advantage of the Xi Mansion banquet to specifically attack the princess's child.

If the matter succeeds, the Qiao family may shift the blame to the Xi family, and the Xi family will suffer.

But the Qiao family didn't succeed. Mr. Xi is now very happy that the Qiao family didn't succeed. As for when the princess arranged for the secret guards to come in, and the secret guards accidentally killed the masked man, it seems that they are not worth mentioning.

Xiao Ying and Xiao Yuan were secretly surprised as they followed behind. Looking at the backyard, it was more dangerous than in front of them.

The two brothers asked hurriedly: "Is sister (sister) okay?"

Yangyang also looked worried.

Yu Wei shook his head: "They are all fine. They just fell into the water and experienced another danger. They were all a little scared. Yueyue fell asleep. Your sister was with her. There were secret guards guarding her in the wing arranged by Mrs. Xi."

Master Xi heard that the other party's secret guard had entered the backyard openly, and he didn't dare to let out a fart. He wanted to be on guard and not give the Qiao family a chance.

Several people came to the backyard. Mrs. Xi had sent away the guests as quickly as possible and was now waiting by the lotus pond, next to the three corpses.

Next to her were Miss Xi Er and Miss Xi Er's aunt who were shivering.

As soon as Mr. Xi showed up, Mrs. Xi saw Princess Zhenbei behind him. Then, Princess Zhenbei said something to the two boys behind her, and the two children followed the maid beside them and turned back.

If nothing else, the princess is indeed a very polite and measured person.

But the same cannot be said for her daughter.

Mrs. Xi sighed in her heart when she thought of the words of the young ladies who had just been rescued.

Who would have thought that the daughter of Princess Zhenbei was actually a very vicious person, but just a few quarrels with her turned the whole ship upside down.

It happened to be the first boat to leave, and it was far away from the shore. How could those young ladies swim in the water? If something happened, the Xi family would have to bear the big responsibility.

When Mr. Xi and the princess approached, Mrs. Xi immediately saluted and then asked, "Why are you here, madam?"

Yu Wei looked at the five corpses with a sullen face. Now that their masks were removed, their faces could be seen.

She didn't answer Mrs. Xi's words, so Mr. Xi told her one by one about the assassination in the front yard and what Aunt Mei and the princess's secret guards had done.

Mrs. Xi's face became more solemn when she heard this. She looked at the five corpses and understood immediately: "This was also done by the Qiao family."

The Qiao family wants to kill the Xi family!

Is it because Magistrate Xi was too fair in the last trial?

Mr. Xi also did not expect that the Xi family would retaliate so harshly.

Yu Wei's voice was a little dignified: "Master Xi, now that Aunt Mei has been witnessed and five bodies have been found, have the Qiao family brought them?"

Mr. Xi calculated the speed of the arrest: "It's probably going to be fast. Does the princess want to go to the court to watch?"

Yu Wei nodded, she had to see it with her own eyes to relieve her anger.

Mr. Xi and Mrs. Xi walked to the front yard, Yu Wei followed them. Xiao Ying and Xiao Yuan appeared out of nowhere and followed their mother. Yangyang had already been sent to Xu Ying's side, leaning against Yueyue and saying I feel sleepy.

Before the group of people could walk through the front yard to the government office, a policeman came in a hurry and clasped his fists at Mr. Xi: "Sir, the second master of the Qiao family refuses to be arrested."

Mr. Xi was furious: "I'll go out personally, come with someone, come with me, come with me!"

With this call, most of the labor force in the government office was called away.

Mrs. Xi took Yu Wei to sit in the front hall, and a maid brought tea. Mrs. Yu talked to Yu Wei about what the girls said after they were fished out of the lotus pond.

I looked at it, and several ladies seemed to want to call for punishment. First, they couldn't find their wives, and second, they were shocked by the corpses. However, when they come to their senses tomorrow, they will definitely come to visit.

Yu Wei heard that Mrs. Yu wanted to give her a good deal and also wanted to find out what happened.

There was nothing to hide. Yu Wei explained everything clearly. Of course, Xu Ying was the one who relayed the complaint.

However, Yu Wei felt that these two children had done nothing wrong. Those children were so vicious at a young age and they should be taught a lesson.

Xu Ying and Yueyue don't think water is dangerous. They know how to drink water and they have some cultivation skills.

Of course, Yu Wei didn't think that these noble ladies would be in any big danger, and the fifteen women and boatmen were not just decorations. Since the Xi family opened the lotus pond, they would definitely make full preparations.

Mrs. Xi also began to think thoughtfully. If what the princess said was true, then it would be difficult to say whether this matter was right or wrong, because one suffered the consequences of the words and the other suffered the consequences of the body.

However, Mrs. Xi still felt that it was inappropriate. This incident happened in her territory, and no one gave face to her family, including Princess Zhenbei's two daughters.

It was just that she thought of this when she heard the princess say: "This matter is all wrong. On the contrary, it is difficult for the madam. My two children have a conscience. They told me privately that they are causing trouble to the madam and want me." I brought them to apologize to Madam, but these two children were pale due to the assassination and it was hard to appear in front of others, so I told them to rest for a while."

Mrs. Xi didn't know whether this was the intention of the princess herself or the meaning of the two children, but no matter what, she heard this in her heart and felt much better immediately.
