Chapter 415: Half A Month
Xu Qing looked at the little maid who was holding her arm and stopped crying, and said, "Aren't you afraid of ghosts?"
The little maid shook her head, and she couldn't help sobbing because she stopped crying just now: "Xuan'er...don't be afraid..."
Xu Qing wiped the tears on the little maid's face covered with collagen with the other hand and said, "Come out if you're not afraid, it's hot in summer, won't it be hot under the quilt? Go and get some ice cubes." Cool down."
Only then did Xuan'er nod her head, and reluctantly let go of Xu Qing's arm.
Holding my uncle's arm, I really feel so safe...
While thinking wildly, the little maid put on embroidered shoes and followed Xu Qing to the kitchen to get ice cubes.
Feeling the disappearing touch on his arm, Xu Qing looked at the little maid who had stopped crying but still had red eyes. At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind - he underestimated the worth of this girl!
Su Qian couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw Xuan'er coming out of the room following Xu Qing, Husband... Husband, did he really coax Xuan'er? !
Su Qian walked over to look at Xuan'er who was still red-eyed but showed no sign of fear, and asked curiously, "Xuan'er, aren't you afraid of ghosts?"
Xuan'er shook her head firmly and said: "Ghosts only have one life, Xuan'er has two lives, ghosts can't beat Xuan'er!"
Su Qian was puzzled when she heard this, "What do you mean ghosts only have one life?"
Xuan'er said: "The ghost has already died once, and Xuan'er is not dead yet, Xuan'er can't beat the ghost while alive, and can continue to fight after becoming a ghost after death!"
Su Qian felt that something was wrong after listening to it, but after careful consideration, there seemed to be nothing wrong
But it would be a good thing if it could make Xuan'er no longer afraid of ghosts.
Xu Qing looked at Xuan'er who was full of interest, as if she was ready to fight with a ghost at any time, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, go get the ice cubes."
...
second day
ringing the clock
In the past, if there were no major events, the court would usually be once every five days. Even if the envoys from the two countries came from afar, they would only change the court every five days to once every three days.
Unless there is a foreign war or when the border is tight or a rebellion occurs, it will only change day by day.
And yesterday it was clear that the court meeting had just been held just now, and the court bell rang again today, obviously something big happened.
The civil and military officials did not dare to slack off, and they all put on their court uniforms and went to the Qinzheng Hall.
...
Palace of Qinzheng
The envoy named Ning Xin stood up and said in a deep voice: "Our deputy envoy of Great Zhou was assassinated in Chu State and died tragically in Chu State. Could it be that the security of Chu State is so poor that even the safety of the envoys who are sent out is guaranteed?" No more?!"
"Also ask the emperor to give us an explanation for Da Zhou!"
The Emperor of Chu said in a deep voice: "Chu and Zhou are friendly neighbors. I am also very saddened by the assassination of your deputy envoy. I will definitely catch the real culprit as soon as possible and give Zhou an explanation."
"Master of the Dali Temple! Minister of the Ministry of Punishment! The official censor, Jingzhaofu Yin, listens to the order!"
The Minister of Dali Temple, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, the Doctor of the Imperial History, and the Governor of Jingzhao Mansion all came out of the hundreds of officials, holding the wat board, and said in unison: "The minister is here!"
Chu Huang said: "Jingzhao Prefecture will cooperate with Dali Temple, Criminal Department, and Yushitai to investigate this case from now on, find out the truth, and bring the murderer to justice! Don't damage the friendship between the brothers of the two countries."
Ning Xin said again at this time: "His Majesty did not set any time limit for what he said. Could it be that His Majesty has checked for two or three years, and my mission will also be delayed here for two or three years?"
Emperor Chu said: "What else does the envoy have to say?"
Ning Xin said: "Half a month is the limit, and within half a month, your country should give me an explanation for Da Zhou."
Chu Huang said: "Okay, within half a month, I, Da Chu, will definitely give Zhou Guo an explanation."
After retiring from the imperial court, the governor of Jingzhao handed over all the case files investigated yesterday to the chief officials of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.
The Minister of Dali Temple, the Doctor Yushi and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment sat together in a circle, hoping to find some clues.
There is only half a month, and once the half-month time limit is up, if the murderer cannot be handed over, it will be a loss for Chu State.
At that time, it might be a scene of fighting against each other.
Chu State just suffered more than a dozen natural disasters last year, and now it can't stand the war!
However, the chief officer of the third division sat in the Ministry of Punishment and read these files, but he was in trouble.
The deputy envoy was strangled to death, but there were no unnecessary traces around, not even traces of fighting or struggling. Even the doors and windows were closed tightly, and the flower beds full of wet mud outside the windows showed no traces of trampling.
This is very inappropriate, because the deputy envoy died in the middle of the house, and the body did not show signs of being dragged or moved.
This suggests that the assassin had no other way than to come in through the main entrance.
Here comes the question, how did Deputy Envoy Zhou watch the assassin come in from the main entrance, step by step in front of him without reacting?
Is it blind?
This is really strange!
If the murderer cannot be analyzed through the existing evidence, it should be analyzed who is the biggest beneficiary after the death of the Deputy Envoy.
The deputy envoy was assassinated and died, and the deputy envoy was also the direct son of the Yang family, one of Zhou's aristocratic families.
The most profitable?
Who can benefit from this?
It can't be just to find an excuse for war to let your own people kill the eldest son of the family, right?
The loss outweighs the gain!
Isn't the sixth prince from a concubine much easier to bully than the deputy envoy?
The price is relatively small.
Or did someone have a blood feud with the state of Chu and assassinated the deputy envoy, allowing the state of Zhou to attack the state of Chu?
At this moment, the chief officer of the third division fell into deep contemplation.
At this moment, Jingzhao Fu Yin brought Su Jiyuan in, cupped his hands and asked, "Can the three adults gain anything?"
The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice shook his head and said: "There is too little evidence to make a conclusion, Master Shi can gain anything?"
Jing Zhaofu Yin shook his head and said: "There is no gain. The traces of the crime scene have been cleaned up after recording the files yesterday, and Zhou Guo's gang has already cleaned up. They only found some innocuous evidence and the testimonies of the mission. Let it go, my lord."
Su Jiyuan put the file in his hand on the table in front of several people.
The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice looked at Su Jiyuan and said, "Master Su looks strange, but he was just transferred to the capital?"
Su Jiyuan cupped his hands and said: "It is true that I just took up the post of Shao Yin yesterday."
The doctor Yushi said: "Master Su will be able to become a young Yin in his forties, and his future will definitely be limitless."
Jingzhao Mansion Yin smiled and said: "Speaking of which, Mr. Su used to be the magistrate of a county in the suburbs of Beijing, and the father-in-law of Uncle Anding."
As soon as Yin Jingzhao finished speaking, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice stood up with a thud: "What?! Master Su is the father-in-law of the younger brother?! The county magistrate of Anding? Yes, yes, oh, what a flood. If you don't know the family, please come quickly and sit down."
Little... little junior brother?
Su Jiyuan's heart went blank when he heard that the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, one of the six ministers, called his son-in-law this way.
How capable is your son-in-law?
Just when Su Ji Genichi was in a daze, the Minister of Criminal Affairs grabbed Su Jiyuan who was stunned and sat down: "We are all a family and don't be restrained. I have the best relationship with the junior among the six ministers. Since Mr. Su is a junior His father-in-law, of course it is also mine..."
Something seems wrong...
Doctor Yushi looked at Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice with a look of amusement on his face: "What is your father-in-law?"
