Qi Ning thought that the little emperor seemed to be more shrewd than he thought. He obviously saw the strangeness in this incident and whispered: "Master, do you think there is something wrong with this matter?"

Longtai didn't say anything, but reached out to take more than a dozen notes from the imperial desk and handed them to Qi Ning. Qi Ning took them with both hands, then looked through a few books, frowned and said, "Your Majesty, are these notes asking for an order to wipe out the Black Lotus Holy Sect?"

"The incident happened yesterday, but these comments were sent together early this morning." Longtai said: "The head of Lu Xiao, the Minister of War, was Lu Xiao, and there were some important officials. There were a few of them that I didn't know their background before. This time I realized that they were all members of the King of Huainan."

"The emperor thinks that these comments were instructed by the King of Huainan?" Qi Ning asked.

Longtai sneered: "Where can there be anyone else besides the King of Huainan? Didn't you see yesterday that the King of War named Lu and Huainan seemed to have a deep hatred with the Black Lotus Holy Sect. The three words are inseparable from sending troops to wipe out the Black Lotus Holy Sect."

Qi Ning nodded slightly and asked in a low voice: "Is that Jindao Hou really the King of Huainan?"

"I don't hide it from you. When the Jindao Hou was young, Emperor Taizu promoted it and made outstanding achievements. As far as I know, in his early years, he was the number one general under Emperor Taizu's command, and he was indeed good at fighting." Longtai said softly: "But after Emperor Taizu's death, Emperor Taizong inherited the throne and promoted your family. You, the old Marquis of Jinyi, were brave and invincible on the battlefield. He was highly valued by Emperor Taizong, and made countless military achievements, and even surpassed the Jindao Hou."

Qi Ning thought to himself that this is the emperor and the minister.

The little emperor said a few words, but Qi Ning keenly captured that the Jindao Hou was definitely the most important general in the world in Emperor Taizu's conquest, and he must be a famous general who can fight.

However, after Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, if he continued to let the King of Jindao Hou dominate, it would obviously not be a good thing for Emperor Taizong.

The Jindao Hou was promoted by Emperor Taizu, and obviously had a natural sense of closeness to the Taizu family, which was also one of the important reasons why Emperor Taizu promoted the Jinyi Hou.

During the reign of Emperor Taizong, the military achievements and limelight of the Jinyi Hou Qi family overshadowed the Jindao Hou. However, after all, the Jindao Hou was a founding father who made countless military achievements. If Emperor Taizong wanted to win the hearts of the people, he would naturally not treat Jindao Hou badly in his face. It was natural that Jindao Hou became one of the four hereditary marquis of the empire.

"When Emperor Taizong appointed the late emperor as the crown prince, the Jindao Hou gave a note, but I have never seen that note yet. I only heard that the King of Jindao seemed to have advised Emperor Taizong to make the King of Huainan as the crown prince." Longtai said slowly: "But after that note, the King of Jindao never gave a second note again, and he never mentioned the matter of establishing another crown prince since then. After the father ascended the throne, he took great care of the King of Jindao Hou, gave him a fief, and transferred the eldest son of Jindao Hou to the Bashu Army to lead the troops. It was also considered that Long's kindness was a great success."

"Bashu Legion?"

Longtai glanced at Qi Ning and said, "You should also increase your knowledge. Your Qi family is a military family. How can you not understand the various legions of our Great Chu?"

Qi Ning smiled awkwardly, and Longtai said, "My two legions of Great Chu, one of the Qinhuai legions. You are from the Qi family and are most familiar with the Qinhuai legions, so I won't say much. To the west of Bashu, Tuguhun has been invading the border of Shu, so when his father was in power, he sent a group of troops to station at the junction of Tuguhun and Bashu. There are mountains and steep roads there, and as long as you guard some dangerous places, you can stop the Tuguhun people from invading."

"So that's it." Qi Ning smiled and said, "The late emperor is wise." He thought to himself that among those great masters, there was a Dharma King Zhuri from the Great Snow Mountain in Qinghai-Tibet, but he didn't know if it was from Tuguhun.

However, I thought in my heart that although the troops stationed in the border of Bashu had the intention to resist Tuguhun, this was probably not the only intention.

Qi Ning naturally would not forget the King of Shu Li Hongxin. The Li family was a local emperor in Bashu. Although he surrendered to the Great Chu, he took advantage of the Northern Han people going south and the Li family came over after a fierce battle.

Although Bashu surrendered to Da Chu, the Li family had not been eliminated, and Da Chu could not completely control Bashu and mobilize troops to guard west of Bashu. It was obvious that it also had the intention of surveillance and restraining Shu King Li Hongxin.

"The late emperor was so kind to the King of Jindao. Jindao has not caused much trouble in the past few years, and he has not had much contact with the King of Huainan." Longtai said: "But these officials who have written the memorials to wipe out the Black Lotus Holy Sect are naturally the members of the King of Huainan." After a pause, he browsed and showed a solemn look on his delicate face, and he said softly: "If there were no these memorials, I wouldn't think too much, but... Qi Ning, what is the purpose of the King of Huainan to wipe out the Black Lotus Holy Sect?"

"He is the extremely wealthy prince. The Black Lotus Holy Sect is far away from the border of Bashu, and is just a gang in the world." Qi Ning also frowned and said, "Emperor, I dare to ask, have you heard of the enemy that the King of Huainan and the Black Lotus Holy Sect have?"

Longtai shook his head and said, "I only knew that there was a gang like the Black Lotus Holy Sect yesterday..." After pausing, he said, "There was a sudden outbreak of the epidemic in Beijing. After discovering it, it was found that it was related to the Black Lotus Holy Sect. I just learned that this matter was related to the Black Lotus Holy Sect. Before I finally determined whether it was the poison under the Black Lotus Holy Sect, Huainan King, Lu Xiao and others were anxious to wipe out the Black Lotus Holy Sect, which was too hasty."

Qi Ning nodded slightly and said, "What the emperor said is so strange, there is something really strange in the middle." After pausing, he said, "Your Majesty's Mansion has captured the disciples of Jiuxi Poison King, so he should be able to interrogate some things."

Longtai lowered his voice and said, "I am in a very complicated mood now. I cannot be sure whether the Shenhou Mansion really has such ability to do things, or...!" He chuckled and did not speak.

"The Emperor is saying...!" Qi Ning lowered his voice: "Is there something strange about the Shenhou Mansion?"

"I'm not saying that." Longtai said: "I just think that if I were a member of the Black Lotus Holy Sect, or a disciple of the Jiuxi Poison King, shouldn't I escape early after being poisoned? Even if I stay in the capital, I should try my best to hide my tracks. Why was I caught by the Divine Marquis' Mansion so quickly?"

Qi Ning thought that the little emperor's thoughts were indeed meticulous and said softly: "Emperor, the Shenhou Mansion is full of spies in the capital. After the incident, he searched for the murderer in the city as soon as possible. In fact, it is not impossible for them to catch the murderer at such a quick time."

"I hope this is true, but I must be careful, so I sent you to make sure." Longtai looked solemn: "I don't want to be a puppet that some people want to play casually. Qi Ning, if you go to the Shenhou Mansion and interrogate separately, first of all, you must determine whether the person caught by the Shenhou Mansion is really a disciple of the Jiuxi Poison King. Secondly, you have to figure out whether the epidemic and poison incident in the capital is related to the Jiuxi Poison King." After thinking for a while, you said: "Also, if it is really the Jiuxi Poison King, you have to ask clearly whether this is the personal act of Jiuxi Poison King or the Black Lotus Holy Sect."

Qi Ning knew that Longtai sent him to go, and indeed trusted him very much, so he bowed: "Don't worry, my elders, I must figure out the ins and outs of this matter."

Longtai smiled slightly and nodded, "I can't interrogate myself, you are my substitute." He took a gold medal and handed it over, and said, "You took this and went to the God Marquis' Mansion. When they saw the gold medal of the Emperor's Destiny, they dared not stop you."

Qi Ning took it with both hands, put it in her arms, and said, "Master, I'll go there now."

Longtai nodded, but before Qi Ning turned around, he stopped thinking of something and said, "Wait a minute, Qi Ning, you still have to remember to interrogate. If it weren't for the Jiuxi Poison King sending someone to poison, then why would the epidemic poison in Beijing carry the Jiuxi Poison King's unique poison? Whose poison fell into the hands of?"

Qi Ning smiled and said, "Don't worry, my elders, I know all of these, and I will definitely ask in detail."

After leaving the palace, it was already snowing heavily in the capital. Although the sky had already brightened, the flying snow covered the sky.

The snow was too dense, and snow had begun to accumulate on the streets of the capital, and the palaces and pavilions were also covered in silver.

When Qi Ning came to Shenhou Mansion, the people in Shenhou Mansion were a little surprised. However, the officials guarding in front of Shenhou Mansion had met Qi Ning several times in the past two days, but they had already known each other. After reporting, they did not let Qi Ning wait and welcomed him into the mansion.

Xuanyuan Po came out in person, saw Qi Ning, and bowed, "The Marquis is here, I wonder what is the price?"

"The Lord of God is not here?"

Xuanyuan Po said respectfully: "The Lord Shen was too tired these two days and only rested half an hour ago in the East Courtyard. Will the Lord want to see the Lord Shen? I will report it now."

"No, no, no, no," Qi Ning smiled and said, "The Lord Shen has worked so hard these two days and has finally stopped, so don't go over and disturb him."

"Yes!" Xuanyuan Po said respectfully.

Qi Ning said: "Actually, I came here just to see the disciples of Jiuxi Poison King, and it was nothing big."

Xuanyuan Po was stunned, a little surprised, but said: "The Marquis already knew that he had caught the murderer?"

"Oh, you have already found the result?" Qi Ning asked, "That person admits that it was the poison he made?"

Xuanyuan Po hurriedly said, "Report to the Marquis, the murderer has not yet admitted it and is still under trial. Why don't the Marquis have a cup of tea here first? Once the result is found, report to the Marquis immediately."

"Captain Xuanyuan is polite." Qi Ning smiled and said, "I am not from the Shenhou Mansion. If you really want to find the result, you have no reason to report to me. I am actually not qualified to ask for it. But before the result comes out, you can't say that he is the murderer. At most, it's just annoying."

Xuanyuan Po was a little embarrassed, but he still said respectfully: "The Marquis taught him a lesson!"

"Where is the suspect now? Take me to see it."

Xuanyuan Po looked embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Marquis, the rules of the Shenhou Mansion, do not disturb the suspect when interrogating the suspect. Even the officials of the Shenhou Mansion should not be approached."

Qi Ning didn't say anything anymore. He reached into his arms. When he took it out, the gold medal was already in his hand and asked, "Captain Xuanyuan knows this?"

Xuanyuan Po only glanced at him, immediately fell to the ground, and said respectfully: "Long live my emperor!" He looked up and said: "Marty, I will take you there!"
