Chapter 1310 The Death of the Censor!

Although Murong Xinyun, as the daughter of the Murong family, has been spoiled since childhood, with fine clothes and delicious food, and can even be said to be the apple of everyone's eye, but everything has its pros and cons. As the daughter of a prominent family, you have enjoyed the wealth and glory brought to you by the family, so you must obey the family's will and serve the family!

As for Murong Xinyun's marriage, there were many debates within Murong and no unified opinion could be formed!
Initially, because Murong Qingwu had been married to Ye Mingsheng for many years but had no son and only a daughter, Ye Kexin, there was a voice within the Murong family who wanted to marry Murong Xinyun to Ye Mingsheng as well. At that time, An Miaoyi was also very concerned about this matter. After all, if such a thing really happened, it would likely cause a certain impact.

However, because Murong Qingwu gave birth to a son, Ye Jingyan, this kind of voice became much smaller within the Murong family. Some people also began to introduce other young talents to Murong Xinyun, and An Miaoyi didn't pay too much attention to these!
At this moment, hearing that the Murong family intends to send Murong Xinyun to participate in the selection and make her a concubine for Ye Mingsheng, An Miaoyi was very surprised and asked back:

"Didn't Murong Qingwu give birth to Ye Jingyan? Why did the Murong family send Murong Xinyun here?"

Qiqige heard this and spoke mysteriously:
"This is the disagreement within the Murong family!"

“Although Murong Yuliang and Murong Hui are in power and hold high positions in the court, the people within the Murong family, led by Murong Xiu and Murong Yingtai, have not received corresponding political resources. Therefore, these two elders of the Murong family also have their own ideas…”

After hearing what Qiqige said, An Miaoyi understood what was going on. This was because the family was jealous of the uneven distribution of the spoils!

After a moment of silence, An Miaoyi asked:
"What is Murong Qingwu's attitude towards this matter?"

"Of course she objects!"

Qiqige said without thinking, and then seemed to have thought of something, with a slight blush on her cheeks, she whispered:
"After all, His Majesty has that hobby. If Murong Xinyun also enters the palace, His Majesty will definitely not let them go!"

Hearing Qiqige talking about this, An Miaoyi also became thoughtful, and at this time Qiqige continued to say:

"Although Murong Qingwu clearly expressed her opposition, Murong Xiu and Murong Yingtai did not give up this idea!"

At this point, Qiqige hesitated for a moment, and then continued to preach solemnly:
"Your Majesty, I think Murong Xiu wants to use this opportunity to return to the court, so even if Murong Qingwu opposes this matter, Murong Xiu may still let Murong Xinyun participate in the selection!"

An Miaoyi raised her eyebrows when she heard this and then said after a moment of silence:
"Qiqige, what do you think about letting Murong Xinyun enter the palace?"

Qiqige looked a little surprised when he heard this, and after a moment of hesitation he said:
“I am stupid and don’t understand your intention, Queen. But I think that blood is thicker than water. If Murong Xinyun is really allowed to enter the palace, she and Murong Qingwu will join forces. Who knows what will happen then.” Listening to Qiqige’s words, An Miaoyi’s expression began to smile, as if she had some interesting ideas in her mind...

March 21, Yijing
At 15:00 in the evening, a 6-foot-tall, thin censor was writing furiously in the classroom of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. At the same time, his colleagues in the classroom were packing up their things and preparing to go home for dinner. When they saw this man was still writing, they couldn't help but remind him:

"Brother Liu, it's 3 p.m.!"

In the face of his colleagues' reminders, Censor Liu continued to focus on the work at hand and continued to write furiously, but he said perfunctorily:
"Well! I'll go back after I finish writing this paragraph!"

Feeling the perfunctory tone in Censor Liu's words, the other party shook his head, packed up his things, and walked out of the classroom.

Soon everyone in the classroom left, but Censor Liu didn't care at all and continued writing. As time passed, the sun set completely and there was no light in the classroom anymore.

Upon seeing this, Censor Liu had to put down his brush. He originally wanted to ask the clerk to light the lamp for him so that he could finish the memorial in one go, but the clerk did not respond for a long time, and his stomach started to growl.

Although Censor Liu felt helpless about this, he had no way to continue writing. He could only reluctantly put the memorial into the drawer, and then got up and prepared to leave the classroom to go home for dinner. After leaving the yamen of the Metropolitan Censorate, Censor Liu continued to think about his unfinished memorial while walking towards home...
As Daqian's economy gradually recovers, housing prices in Yijing, the capital of Daqian, are also rising. Although the salary of the censor is not low, if he wants to buy a house in Yijing, he may need to save money for decades.

Fortunately, for the censors who do not have houses in Yijing, the court will allocate houses for them and their families to live in. Although they only have the right to live there and not the ownership, it is already very good for a G-level official like Censor Liu. At least he does not have to worry about his family's place to live in Yijing.

Just when the Imperial Censor Liu had reached the alley where his home was, he did not notice that a peddler was staring at him.

Seeing that his identity was confirmed, the peddler did not hesitate at all and walked directly towards Censor Liu. Just as he approached Censor Liu, the peddler pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed it into Censor Liu's abdomen.

Censor Liu, who was thinking about the memorial, never thought that he would be attacked at his doorstep. He was stabbed through the abdomen. He looked at the vendor in front of him in disbelief, as if he couldn't understand why the other party would want to kill him!
However, the peddler did not hesitate at all and stabbed Censor Liu in the heart again. Censor Liu's body softened and the peddler put away his knife. He then immediately disappeared into the darkness. The whole thing happened in just a moment, but Censor Liu had already fallen in a pool of blood.

Half an incense stick later, Censor Liu's family found Censor Liu. An incense stick later, the patrol officers from the city patrol arrived at the scene and asked the grief-stricken Liu family:
"May I ask which gentleman was murdered?"

"My husband's name is Liu Xinjie..."
