Chapter 417: I'm Done
Su Qian smiled and said, "Really?"
Xu Qing nodded fiercely: "Of course it's true! If you don't believe me, you can ask Mingyue. By the way, didn't the lady go to take a bath?"
Su Qian said: "My concubine, hurry up and take a bath."
Xu Qing said: "Madam, would you like to sit down for a while?"
Su Qian shook her head: "Xuan'er and my concubine only brought my change of clothes when they took a bath, and I forgot to take my own. I went over to help Xuan'er get it."
After all, Su Qian turned around and went to get clothes for Xuan'er.
Su Qian walked away, and Xu Qing's eyes finally moved away from the opposite lamp post.
Li Mingyue, who was sitting opposite Xu Qing, said with a smile: "I never thought Mr. Xu and Sister Su's relationship would be so good. I really envy others."
Xu Qing said with a smile: "I'm just a lady, of course it will hurt a little, and... I can't beat her..."
"Hit?" Li Mingyue shook her head and smiled, "Sister Su won't be willing."
Xu Qing thought about the scene when he couldn't even get out of bed that day, and nodded: "Yes, I don't know how to fight, but if the lady really gets angry, it is much more serious than beating."
Xu Qing chatted with Li Mingyue a lot tonight, and the small talk that Xu Qing saw was the most precious treasure in memory for Li Mingyue.
Because Li Mingyue knew that after going back this time, there was a high probability that she would die alone in that cold palace.
Who would care whether a princess born from a concubine or a princess born to a court lady is alive or dead?
Because of this, the memory here is particularly precious.
...
It was getting late, Xu Qing sent Li Mingyue back to the bedroom and then returned to his own bedroom.
Su Qian had already made the bed and sat by the bed and waited.
After Xu Qing came in, Su Qian looked at Xu Qing with a smile and said, "Husband and Mingyue Little Sister finished chatting?"
Xu Qing nodded and said, "It's over."
Su Qian said: "Then, should we talk about the husband saying that the concubine is very fierce?"
Xu Qing was stunned for a moment: "Mother... madam, did you hear that?"
Su Qian smiled and said: "My husband knows about my concubine's hearing ability."
Xu Qing knew that he would not be spared tonight, so he fell on the bed and closed his eyes resigned to his fate.
second day
Its daybreak
Zhou Guo Mission
The tea servant went into the room to deliver tea to Messenger Zhao. He saw Messenger Zhao lying on the ground just after entering the door, with Messenger Zhao's own hairpin stuck around his neck, and the blood that had flowed onto the floor had already solidified...
The tea boy knocked over the tea in his hand and ran out in a hurry: "No... it's not good!"
The tea servant decided that he would never serve tea in the embassy again when he went out today!
This is simply not a job for humans!
Within two days, two envoys in the mission died!
And the envoys in the entire mission also panicked because of Zhao's death.
Deputy envoy Zhou died, and everyone wanted to quickly get rid of the suspicion of owning.
But now that Envoy Zhao is dead, what they think is whether it will be their turn next.
At this moment, in the entire mission, except for Li Xun, everyone was extremely eager to find out the real culprit.
The clock rang for the third time.
When the guards from the Jingzhao government office and the Ministry of punishment came, they still couldn't find any clues that could be used as evidence.
The envoy surnamed Zhao was still the same as when the envoy surnamed Zhou died. He died in the middle of the room with the doors and windows closed.
It seemed that the murderer was allowed to walk in front of him without any struggle.
Originally, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment doubted whether it was done by insiders, but now I am afraid that it can basically be ruled out.
Because this envoy Zhao has a good relationship with others on weekdays, and he is also cautious, and he has never offended anyone in the envoy.
Moreover, if Zhou Guo wanted to use this as an excuse to declare war on Chu, it would be enough to kill a son of a family who was a deputy envoy.
There is no need to die a harmless little messenger.
...
Su Jiyuan has been leading the yamen servants these days to search for any clues that may be missed, and then hand them over to the Ministry of Punishment.
But five days later, the case did not make any progress.
This made the chief officer of the Sanju Department feel more and more panicked. Now that Zhou Guo is constantly putting pressure on him, if the case is not solved within the specified time limit, it may be another catastrophe for Chu State.
What can I do?
Su Jiyuan put the collected dossiers on the table, and naturally knew the pros and cons of the conversation of the head of the Sanju Department, and said after some consideration: "Three adults, my son-in-law is also very good at solving cases. When I was in Yong'an County Just to help the subordinates solve strange cases repeatedly, why not ask my son-in-law to come and have a look, maybe there will be other clues?"
Hearing this, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs was delighted and said: "How could I have forgotten my junior brother? How can someone who can write such a complete law be someone who doesn't know anything about solving cases? Mr. Laosu, change the Japanese official system." Invite Master Su to dinner."
Su Jiyuan said: "It's all for the sake of the great Chu community, and I dare not take credit for it, so I'll do it right away."
Andingbo Mansion
While eating the cake made by Li Mingyue, Long Binger complained to Xu Qing, who was cooking medicine at the side: "Since that deputy envoy of Zhou State died, the interrogation of entering and leaving the capital has become more stringent, I want to go out It's not easy in the city."
Xu Qing fanned the fire and said: "It's normal, can we still open the city gate as usual and wait for the murderer to escape?"
Long Bing'er finished eating a piece of pastry, and stood beside Xu Qing with her hands wrapped around her chest, as if feeling uncomfortable, she moved her hands down again.
Long Binger folded her hands under her chest, looked at Xu Qing and asked, "Can you solve the case in Chu State? Haven't solved the case for so long?"
Xu Qing said: "Whether it works or not depends on whether our Chu State wants to break it or not."
Long Bing'er frowned slightly and said, "If you can't solve the case, Zhou Guo will meet you in battle. You Chu Guo are not afraid at all?"
Xu Qing put down her fan and stood up, shrugging her shoulders and said, "Who is not necessarily unlucky to meet in battle?"
Long Bing'er was even more puzzled: "Do you still have money to fight in Chu?"
Xu Qing said: "You sold Liuli Bai?"
Long Bing'er said: "Those glazed glazes are conservatively estimated to sell for five or six hundred thousand taels. You, Chu State, are fighting wars with this little money?"
Xu Qing said with a smile: "Haven't you ever thought that our military expenditure is only five or six hundred thousand taels short?"
Long Binger's eyes widened when she heard this: "How could it be..."
At this moment, Su Jiyuan, who hadn't shown his face in Andingbo Mansion for a long time, walked in from a moon gate.
Xu Qing naturally also saw Su Jiyuan, and said with a smile on his face, "Father-in-law is back?"
Su Jiyuan looked at Xu Qing, then at Long Binger who was standing beside Xu Qing with his arms around him, coughed and said, "Busy... busy..."
Xu Qing quickly shook his head: "No, no, I'm done, I'm done, is there anything for my father-in-law?"
I finished my work with my wife at dawn today, so I'm naturally not busy now.
Su Jiyuan coughed and said, "Busy... just finish your work. If you finish your work, come with Weifu."
