The Minister of Punishment coughed and said: "Since he is my junior brother's father-in-law, he is my colleague. Ahem, Mr. Su, come on, let's study these emissary testimonies together."
Minister of Dali Temple: "Listen to your words..."
The Minister of Punishment was surprised and said: "My words can actually inspire Lord Yan?"
Minister of Dali Temple: "If you listen to a word..."
Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice: "..."
Doctor Censor: "The last time I was so speechless was the last time."
The Minister of Punishment looked at the two of them: "Isn't what I said wrong? Isn't Mr. Su a colleague of this officer?"
Doctor Censor: "Isn't what I said wrong? Wasn't it the last time I was speechless?"
Jingzhao Fuyin, who was watching everything silently, thought in his mind: You are all leaving it here, where are you leaving it here?
night
The moon is dark and the wind is high
The residence of the Zhou envoy
An envoy named Zhao was crouching in front of the case and writing something. At this moment, the candle shadow suddenly shook and the door opened and a young man walked in.
When the envoy named Zhao heard someone coming, he quickly raised his head and saw Li Xun walking in. His hands immediately began to tremble. He had no time to put the paper away, so he quickly took out a book and covered it with the paper, stood up and laughed with him.
Said: "Zheng... Zhengshi, you... why are you here?"
Li Xun walked to the desk of the envoy named Zhao and said, "I'm here to see the envoy Zhao. What are you doing sitting at the desk so late?"
There was a little cold sweat on the forehead of the envoy named Zhao: "No...it's nothing. I can't sleep, so I'm reading a book."
Li Xun glanced at the envoy named Zhao: "Oh? Is the envoy Zhao so studious?"
As he spoke, Li Xun moved the book on the desk and was surprised to find a piece of paper. Li Xun picked it up and read softly: "Is the real murderer of Deputy Envoy Yang Zhou Li Xun?"
After reading this, Li Xun showed a weird smile while folding the paper into pieces and lighting it with a candle on the side.
"Tick..."
A drop of sweat fell from the messenger's forehead to the ground. He immediately wanted to shout, but it was obvious that Li Xun had been guarding against him. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the messenger's neck, causing the messenger to be choked.
His neck was broken and he couldn't scream at all, and in the end he could only make a painful whine.
The piece of paper originally lit by the candle in his hand was also thrown into the air with Li Xun's movement, like the petals falling from the fire lotus, flying to the ground, the flame was extinguished and turned into ashes on the ground.
Due to difficulty breathing, the messenger surnamed Zhao instinctively stretched out his hand to break away from Li Xun's hand, but due to lack of oxygen, the resistance was too weak.
While Li Xun was pinching the messenger named Zhao's neck, he reached out and pulled out the hairpin that the messenger named Zhao used to tie his hair, and pointed it at the messenger named Zhao's neck.
Li Xun exerted a little force, and the hairpin penetrated the neck of the envoy named Zhao, and at the same time, the envoy Zhao made no sound.
Li Xun let go of his hand, and the envoy named Zhao fell straight to the ground immediately, with a blood-stained hairpin stuck in his neck.
Li Xun picked up the silk handkerchief of the envoy named Zhao and wiped the blood on his hand. Then he kept it on the envoy named Zhao and murmured: "The last hidden danger has been eliminated."
Then Li Xun blew out the light and walked out of the room.
In fact, there was no need for Li Xun to eliminate him, because even if he said it, it was just one-sided words. Li Xun could not be convicted of Li Xun's crime by just one-sided words. Even Li Xun, as an envoy, could easily convict him of falsely accusing a superior official.
However, the crime of falsely accusing a Shangguan is not fatal, and the spread of this letter will eventually cause trouble.
It would be fine if it was just him, but he also had a sister to protect, so there was no room for any mistakes.
Keeping this person around will always be a hidden danger, and now Li Xun doesn't want to leave any hidden danger behind.

Anding Bofu
The little maid held Su Qian's change of clothes and followed Su Qian to the bathroom.
Su Qian likes to take a bath before going to bed, and usually the little maid Xuan'er will accompany her.
Li Mingyue, wearing cool clothes, walked from the side.
Xu Qing looked at Li Mingyue and asked, "Isn't Mingyue still asleep?"
Li Mingyue shook her head and said softly: "I can't sleep, so I want to come out and take a look at this place again."
In fact, Li Mingyue didn't say anything yet, she was reluctant to sleep.
Because if you fall asleep, the night will pass quickly.
Now that the mission is coming to an end, the deputy envoy in the mission was unexpectedly assassinated. It is probably time to go back as soon as half a month is up. By then, Chu and Zhou will probably face each other in war.
It is also because of this that Li Mingyue cherishes every day she stays in the Chu Kingdom and the Anding Bofu.
Here she met sisters like Su Qian, Long Bing'er, and Xiao Ruxue, and she didn't have to worry about being bullied by the direct princesses and princes nearby.
They are all very good, they will tolerate her, teach her martial arts, and stand up for her.
Xu Qing even saved her several times.
This place is actually more like a home than the indifferent palace.
Lively, peaceful and harmonious.
Unfortunately, this place does not belong to her, and the people here are not her family. She only lives here temporarily and will leave here one day.
And the day of departure is not far away.
Go to bed later and get up earlier, so she can stay here a little longer.
After returning to Zhou Dynasty, I can have one more memory.
Xu Qing looked at Li Mingyue and said, "Why don't you go sit in the pavilion over there, where toilet water is hung and there are fewer mosquitoes."
Li Mingyue nodded, with an imperceptible smile on his face and followed Xu Qing as he walked over.
The two of them were sitting in a small pavilion. There were lamps burning in the lampposts beside the pavilion, illuminating the small pavilion.
Li Mingyue seemed to have considered it for a long time before asking: "Mingyue, can I ask a question?"
Xu Qing nodded and said, "Of course."
Li Mingyue said: "How did Sister Su and Mr. Xu meet in the first place?"
Xu Qing couldn't help laughing when he heard this question: "This is interesting to say. I was actually a small policeman back then. My wife came to the county government as a head catcher at that time."
Li Mingyue said in surprise: "Female head catcher?"
Xu Qing nodded and said: "Yes, the lady at that time was very fierce. From time to time she liked to draw a sword and threaten people. When I first met the lady, she broke a corner of a lamppost with one hand and told me not to be her subordinate.
It's okay, she doesn't force me. Mingyue, tell me, is this... not forcing me?"
Li Mingyue covered her mouth and chuckled: "It turns out that Sister Su, who seems gentle and kind now, is actually so fierce. I really can't tell."
When Xu Qing heard Li Mingyue's words, he couldn't help but said: "Gentle and kind? Alas, Mingyue was deceived by the lady. Now the lady is very fierce! Especially at night..."
Having said this, Xu Qing unconsciously supported her waist with her hands.
The lady at night is really fierce...
The kind of ferocity that I can't resist.
And every time, the lady has the upper hand.
At this moment, a pair of hands suddenly placed on Xu Qing's shoulders, and the faint scent of a woman's body invaded Xu Qing's nostrils.
Su Qian's voice sounded from behind: "What did your husband just say to Sister Mingyue about my concubine?"
Xu Qing didn't even look back. He sat up straight and spoke eloquently: "Of course it means that the lady is gentle, kind, beautiful and generous. To be able to marry a wife like the lady in this life is really a blessing accumulated in eight lifetimes!"
