The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

As the governor of Yingtian Mansion, Wei Tai is in a state of desperation right now.

The same is a third-rank official, look at the same level, eating and drinking spicy food, bossing around, that is a comfortable and comfortable person, not like a parent official like myself, who eats and drinks spicy food, asks if he eats and drinks spicy food, and if he commits a crime, he will be held accountable, isn’t it? The son of an adult, that is, the general's child, can't beat him, can't shut him down, and he has to make a smile. How can he have the dignity of a third-rank official?

Now, five more people were murdered, and the whole capital's eyes were on him, and they couldn't sleep at night.

No, the yamen servant hastily came to report that His Royal Highness the Seventh and the Ninth Highness have already entered the government office.

My dear mother.

Covering his forehead with one hand and holding his waist with the other, Wei Tai couldn't help sighing: "Why are these two little ancestors here?"

He didn't dare to neglect, and hurried to greet him.

Seeing Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan, Wei Tai cupped his hands and said, "I pay my respects to Your Highness, I don't know why your Majesty is here?"

"Let's see how the hunting ground murder case is progressing!" Xiao Yan asked.

The corner of Wei Tai's mouth twitched, he had expected this for a long time, so he said: "Your Highness, please, talk inside the room."

Entering the house, the three sat down.

Wei Tai sighed, and said: "Your Highness, in the past four days, all the servants and police officers of the entire government have been mobilized to investigate the inns, guesthouses, and rented houses in the entire capital, and mobilize the masses, but no clues have been found. No one reported the case to provide relevant clues. It seems that the deceased did not stay in the capital for a long time, so I wonder if these five people passed by the capital? If this is the case, it will make the investigation even more difficult."

"Hey, I feel a lot of pressure."

"Look at my hair, it's almost gone."

Xiao Rui knew his grievances, and said with a smile: "Master Wei has worked hard. The reason why Xiaojiu and I came here is that we have reported the case, and we are naturally concerned about the case, and the other is to do our best to help the deceased revenge."

"Yes, yes!" Xiao Yan nodded repeatedly.

Xiao Rui continued: "As Lord Wei said, if the deceased were passing through the capital, the difficulty would be increased too much. But what if they didn't? They came to the capital from a foreign country, and were followed and killed by the murderer when they left, so they stayed in the capital. There will inevitably be intersections with other people in the capital. Then why don’t the witnesses dare to speak up? Probably because they are afraid of the murderer’s revenge.”

After a pause, Xiao Rui said: "That's why His Highness the Ninth Prince is willing to contribute 10,000 taels, offering a reward to the capital, and rewarding the common people who can provide clues to the identity of the deceased."

Xiao Yan was confused, when did he promise?

Wei Tai was overjoyed and got up quickly: "Thank you, Your Highnesses, for your help! I believe that under the temptation of money, witnesses will not be able to help but come forward and reveal clues. I will arrange for people to do it now, and offer a reward to post in the capital."

Xiao Rui looked at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yanhao said angrily: "Isn't it 10,000 taels? It's a trivial matter. As long as the murderer can be caught, another 10,000 taels is a trivial matter."

Xiao Rui asked Wei Tai: "My lord, what can you find on the clothes of the deceased?"

Wei Tai ordered people to bring the autopsy notes made by him, and said: "The clothes of the two male deceased are not distinctive. They are straight blue cloth and wear square flat scarves, which are more common. The clothes of the two female deceased are blue silk blouses and Dark blue skirts, especially for the young female deceased. Her blouse is two feet eight inches long, the sleeves are one foot two inches wide, and the outer sleeves are inlaid with brocade embroidery. Not all of them, but also some other characteristics.”

Wei Tai handed over the transcript to Xiao Rui, and continued: "I have ordered people to take the clothes of the deceased to various cloth houses to investigate, hoping to find out the location of the deceased."

Xiao Rui nodded, he could think of starting from the clothes, so naturally the arresters and foremen of the government office could also think of it.

Wei Tai asked his servants to call the police.

A big man walked in.

"Ask Gebuzhuang, do you have any clues?" Wei Tai asked.

The catcher clasped his fists and said, "My lord, I have visited twelve cloth houses in the capital, large and small. After looking at the fabric and embroidery of the deceased's clothing, I generally think it is Suzhou embroidery. Although the stitching and pattern have been changed, it is quite Changed style, but didn’t see where it came from.”

Wei Tai sighed and waved his hand to make him back away.

"Your Highness, look, the clue is broken again." Wei Tai looked sad.

Xiao Rui smiled, and said: "Master Wei, although the cloth experts in the capital have good eyesight and can see the changes in embroidery stitches and patterns, due to the limitations of their business, they don't fully understand the embroidery characteristics of various places. And I If you know a place, you should be able to see some clues."

"Where?" Wei Tai asked hastily.

"Shangyi Supervisor and Needle Worker!" Xiao Yan suddenly called out.

Xiao Rui nodded.

Wei Tai patted his forehead and said, "Yeah, why did I forget these two places. The Shangyi Supervisor is responsible for purchasing fabrics and clothing from all over the world, and the Needlework Division specializes in embroidery and sewing. They serve the palace, and they are the most proficient in fabric embroidery in the world." It's just that... this matter has to trouble the two Highnesses."

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "It's a trivial matter, please prepare the clothes of the deceased."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Wei Tai arranged immediately.

Just as Xiao Rui was about to close his mouth to take notes, suddenly, his eyes glanced at a piece of information, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.

He asked: "Master Wei, according to the autopsy results, the young woman who died was the eldest daughter of Huanghua? Didn't she give birth to the baby in swaddling?"

"Yes, yes." Wei Tai nodded.

Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan looked at each other, wondering even more, what kind of combination is this family?

Coming out of the magistrate's yamen, Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan walked towards the palace in a carriage.

After entering the inner city of the imperial city, Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan came to the Shangyi Supervisor, and the palm print eunuch saw the two His Royal Highnesses coming, and felt a little bit in his heart, thinking that he had offended them somewhere.

Xiao Rui explained the purpose of his visit, and the palm print eunuch immediately sent someone to the needlework department to call for someone, and called the old master of Shangyijian to start studying the fabric of the deceased's clothes.

The director of the needlework department brought the female embroidery workers to study together.

Finally, they came to a conclusion.

"Your Highness, the fabric and dyeing techniques of this dress are very similar to the style in Luzhou. Moreover, the embroidery is from Suzhou embroidery, but it has added bright colors and simple and elegant features. A little improvement has been made in the stitching method. It should be The local characteristics of embroidery in Luzhou. Our needlework division happens to have female embroidery workers from Luzhou, so I am sure."

Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan looked at each other, they immediately left the palace and came to Yingtian Mansion again.

"Luzhou!"

Finally found some clues, Wei Tai felt a sense of disbelief.

"Your Highness, I will send people to Luzhou immediately, I believe there will be something to gain." Wei Tai laughed.

Xiao Rui nodded, and said, "Master Wei, it will be hard work."

"What a subordinate official should do." Wei Tai said solemnly.

Afterwards, Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan left the magistrate's yamen.

Xiao Yan said happily: "Now we have a breakthrough, the murderer can be found just around the corner."

Xiao Rui was very calm: "What if the deceased bought clothes in Luzhou?"

"Eh..." Xiao Yan's smile disappeared immediately.

Xiao Rui sighed: "It's not that simple."

Xiao Yan asked: "If the investigation in Luzhou is fruitless, wouldn't it be a case without a head?"

Xiao Rui said: "I hope that the reward will be useful, and I can find some clues."

"Would you like to increase the amount of the reward?" Xiao Yan said richly.

Xiao Rui shook his head: "Ten thousand taels is enough, if not, then it's not a matter of money. Let's go..."

"Seventh Brother, I'll accompany you back to Fourth Brother's house." Xiao Yan flattered.

Xiao Rui flatly refused.

He didn't want others to know that he had moved out of Prince Duan's Mansion. Firstly, he was ashamed, and secondly, Prince Duan's Mansion's face was also ugly.

Xiao Yan looked annoyed, so he could only go home obediently.
