Chapter 495: Concubine Cui

Views:

There was singing and dancing in front of the Legislative Hall, and the dancers and musicians in the palace performed on the square in front of the hall to add to the fun. All the officials laughed and chatted loudly, and the female relatives gathered together in small groups to discuss their own topics.

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is very busy now, busy accepting the praises from all the officials in turn, and she can't show a little impatience on her face. Li Yi still wants to ask her what is going on with Tai Chi. Stealing a teacher is a big taboo in martial arts, so you have to Feel free to compensate tens of thousands of taels of silver...

The concubine Shizi and Ruyi gathered a lot of female relatives, and even Li Yi and Li Xuan were squeezed out of the tent. If you want to say that in the entire capital city, the women who are most popular with these powerful wives and Miss Qianjin are the two. People are none other than.

As a perfume monopoly, Her Royal Highness contributes people and sits in the palace to collect money, but she doesn't care about these things. These people naturally set their targets on Ruyi and Shizifei. If they don't take care of it in advance, they may When the new perfume comes out, they have to wait for several days to buy it.

It’s still the best way to make money from women. I don’t know how the new bras made by Zeng Zuimo are doing. If I have a chance, I will go to “appreciate and appreciate” and give her some advice. You can also try lace hollows and other interesting styles, which will benefit the general public. fellow men...

In Ruyifang, perfume has been widely accepted by women in Kyoto, and if he will gradually launch a full range of cosmetics in the future, he will become the man behind women all over the world, making countless male compatriots hate him so much.

Originally, I wanted to chat with Lao Chang, the mobile knowledge base, after the competition was over, but it was just a magical effort, he didn't know where he went, and a few gray-clothed men took his place. Behind Emperor Jing.

Feeling regretful in his heart, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a line of sight falling on him in front of him. Li Yi turned his head to look, and saw a beautiful woman in palace costume sitting below Emperor Jing, looking at him coldly.

Seeing him looking over, the woman slowly withdrew her gaze after a hint of resentment appeared in her eyes.

He patted Li Xuan's shoulder beside him, and asked, "That one, the one on the left of Your Majesty—who is it?"

"Who?" Li Xuan looked over with some doubts. After being stunned for a while, his face became slightly serious, and he asked, "Why do you ask Concubine Cui?"

Li Yi focused his eyes, "Is she Cui Guifei?"

Concubine Cui Gui is the biological mother of the King of Shu, and the daughter of the wealthy Cui family who has great influence in Jingguo Shilin and even the court. If she beat the King of Shu herself, she would naturally not have a good face towards herself.

It's not a good thing to be missed by a noble concubine, but now Li Yi really has too many lice and doesn't itch, and he is not in the court, and he stays at home all day long, that is, basking in the sun, teaching Little maid, whether it's the Chen family or the Qin family, the king of Shu or any other king, it doesn't make any difference whether you offend more or less.

Old man Chang's reappearance diverted Li Yi's attention. He wanted to call him over, but when he saw his gloomy face, he walked forward quickly. Li Yi's hand that was stretched out to say hello stopped in the air.

After a while, Li Yi rarely saw Emperor Jing pat the table, and the courtiers were shocked. Not long after, a shocking news spread...

An envoy of Qi State died, and died in Honglu Temple.

Regarding the death of their colleague, the envoys of the Qi State were naturally very angry. They expressed strong condemnation and solemn protest to the King and ministers of the State of Jing, and ordered the State of Jing to hand over the murderer as soon as possible. Sanctions for such an act of international immorality...

It is said that when the emperor heard about this incident, he was furious and ordered the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to jointly take charge of the case and solve the case within a time limit. Afterwards, many secret spies made open and unannounced visits. .

As soon as this matter got out, it quickly fermented, causing an uproar in the capital, and it made the envoys of other countries panic.

It is an iron law that has never changed since the two countries are at war. What's more, it is not on the battlefield, but in Jingguo's capital, in Jingguo's residence for Qi's envoys. In Honglu Temple, what a nasty incident this is. It might escalate into a diplomatic conflict. Jingguo and Qiguo have just finished a war. If there is another war, it would be great for them up!

Let's fight, Qi State and Jing State, one is the overlord of the surrounding countries, who bullied the weaker countries next to him when nothing happened, and the other is a legend who has been bullied for many years, suddenly turned around and attracted the envy of all countries, how could they? It doesn't matter if you fight, standing in the position of the envoys of the other countries, I am very happy to see this scene.

However, anticipation is one thing and curiosity is another.

There is absolutely no reason why Jing Guo killed the envoys of Qi State!

Although the envoys of the State of Qi are indeed not things, and these days the wind and rain in the capital of the State of Jing have caused a mess in the entire capital, and there are no less headaches from the courtiers to the emperor, but at least on the bright side, Wen Martial arts tests are all upright, even the king and ministers of Jing Guo wished to get rid of them quickly, and they would not really choose Honglu Temple, the most unsuitable place to do it, foolishly.

When they return to the country, everyone can understand that they secretly murdered a few of them, but it is too much to be so blatant.

Of course, with regard to Jing Guo's pretentious behavior, everyone just "just take a look". As for the truth, you can know it with your toes...

When something like this happened, the Minister of Dali Temple and the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice naturally had no way to continue attending the banquet. The two went out in person, even if they took people to Honglu Temple to collect evidence in a hurry.

The deceased was an envoy of Qi State. His neck was broken and he died in his room.

The door of the room was closed and the window was wide open. The murderer should have escaped through the window after killing people in the room.

It's just that the guards at Honglu Temple are extremely strict, and it is difficult to sneak in, let alone escape after killing the envoy of Qi State. There is no clue in the room except for the corpse. Wrinkled tightly, this case is out of the question, but His Majesty even issued a death order...

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps at the door of the room. Seeing several people coming out in a file, the two senior officials frowned. To the two of them, he said: "The Secret Service is doing business, and the idlers are staying away. Please cooperate with the two adults."

Although countless courtiers would tremble a few times when hearing the name of Secret Service Division, the two of them are high-ranking and powerful, and they will not be afraid, especially the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice. The county government asked for it, and was first promoted to be the head of the Ministry of Punishment, and later he was valued by His Majesty, so he was included in the secret spy department.

Minister of the Ministry of Justice frowned and said, "The deceased's neck was twisted vigorously, and there were no other wounds on his body. Except for a few shoe prints on the window, there were no clues left by the murderer at the scene."

The thin young man looked at the messy footprints on the ground, shook his head, and murmured: "It's a pity..."

"What?" The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment raised his eyebrows and asked.

"It's nothing..." The young man shook his head, and said to the people behind him: "Take all the envoys of Qi State to the courtyard, and let them guard outside. From now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave here."

"The only clue is the shoe print on the window, which has been checked by someone. This shoe print does not belong to anyone in the temple." The Minister of the Ministry of Justice said, and was about to go to the window to point it out for him. The thin young man immediately said: "My lord, wait a minute !"

Hearing this, Minister of the Ministry of Justice stopped in place, seeing the thin young man taking off his shoes and walking carefully to the window.

He looked at the window and the shoe prints outside the window, opened the door at the back and went out. He walked around the back porch, and his eyes stayed in the garden under the porch for a while.

After a while, he walked into the house, pointed to another room adjacent to this room and asked, "Who lives there?"

An official from Honglu Temple thought for a while and said, "It's another Qi State envoy, and he is also the person in charge of the Qi State Mission."
