Volume Three: The Case of Hundred Ghosts at Night Chapter Seventy-Three: The Arrival of Marquis Chu
"The Marquis of Chu is the Marquis of Chu Wei." Xing Qianqiu said to Duan Ming as he walked towards the Mingjing Division: "When Your Majesty was not yet secure in his accession to the throne, the surrounding countries were eyeing him with eager eyes, so Chu Marquis went to the border with King Jing'an and repulsed them.
The enemy army has made outstanding achievements in battle."
"Later, when the world was settled, King Jing'an stayed in the capital and was granted the title of an idle prince, while the Marquis of Chu was ordered to go to Linzhou and became an idle prince."
"Isn't this... a bit..." Duan Ming hesitated for a moment and looked at Xing Qianqiu warily: "You should be careful."
"Don't worry, your Majesty doesn't have any bad intentions." Xing Qianqiu said with a smile: "You will know if you have a chance to see your Majesty. I guess he just wants King Jing'an and Marquis Chu to have a good rest."
"Haha, do you believe this?" Duan Ming glanced at Xing Qianqiu: "Since ancient times, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. This is one of the reasons why I don't want to become an official in the court. Don't forget, the last time you came to Linzhou
If you solve the Linzhou Talented Scholar case, you will be given a death order. If the case is not solved as scheduled, your fate will be..."
"There is no way. Your Majesty and the Queen have a deep love for each other, and they will not allow others to say anything wrong about the Queen." Xing Qianqiu sighed: "Although His Majesty has a good temper, he is not a good person. Otherwise, he would not be able to eliminate the Queen just after he ascended the throne.
The government and the public. Forget it, it is disrespectful to make irresponsible remarks about His Majesty. You will know when you have the opportunity to see it in the future."
"Yes." Duan Ming nodded, secretly doubting in his heart.
If he were facing others, he would not say these things, including the matter about the Immortality Cult, he would always say more involuntarily.
Duan Ming didn't understand why, but it seemed that he always felt at ease when facing Xing Qianqiu.
"By the way, I just said that Marquis Chu is here again." Duan Ming changed the subject: "What? Is Marquis Chu always here?"
"Alas." When Xing Qianqiu heard this, he sighed: "I don't even know where to start."
"Mr. Duan, you don't know." Xu Shizhong suddenly said: "This Chuhou is a fool!"
"What do you mean?" Duan Ming looked at Xu Shizhong.
"You dare to say anything and do anything! The Linzhou Talented Scholar case caused a lot of trouble for our Mirror Department." Xu Shizhong curled his lips: "We sent people to stop him and secretly sent him to Kyoto many times.
The fold."
"Zhezi sent to Kyoto? You dare to stop this?" Duan Ming was shocked.
"It won't work if we don't stop it." Xing Qianqiu smiled bitterly: "Just like Xu Shizhong said, this Chuhou is a fool. All the notes he wrote were to report to His Majesty to depose the Queen."
"Moreover, other ministers' excerpts also focus on one wording and one strategy. Only this Chuhou's excerpt seems to be openly scolding His Majesty. You are guilty..."
"If I hadn't stopped him and allowed this book to be sent to Kyoto, Chuhou's head would have been divided long ago."
"Yes, yes, something like 'Your Majesty, God is not happy with this now. Although the Queen is beautiful, you can't ignore God's wishes for the sake of beauty!'" Xu Shizhong added.
"Well, it is indeed a bit silly." Duan Ming's mouth twitched slightly: "Then why did he come here this time?"
"What else could it be, this case of Hundred Ghosts Walking at Night?" Xing Qianqiu sighed.
Soon, several people had returned to the Mirror Department. As soon as they entered the Mirror Department, they saw a burly man sitting in the lobby.
"Well, Xing Qianqiu, you are back!" As soon as he saw Xing Qianqiu, the big man stood up suddenly and walked straight to Xing Qianqiu.
Duan Ming's eyes twitched slightly. Xing Qianqiu's height was a full 180 centimeters, which was already very tall, but this Chuhou was 200 centimeters tall, a head taller than Xing Qianqiu.
Marquis Chu stood in front of Xing Qianqiu, lowered his head and said, "What, do your Mingjing Division have any objections to this Marquis?"
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Xing Qianqiu said with a smile.
Xing Qianqiu could speak without pretense about the Immortality Sect, but for those paper figures with great military exploits like Chu Hou and King Jing'an, Xing Qianqiu only had admiration in his heart.
Therefore, Xing Qianqiu naturally did not dare to be rude.
"Don't you dare? Why don't you dare? I think you are very courageous when you stopped me from doing so many things!" Chu Hou said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, you are rewarded." Xing Qianqiu clasped his fists: "You are definitely looking for death with your tricks. I don't want to see Mr. Hou suffer the wrath of thunder and die, so how can I not stop him?"
"So, I have to thank you?" Chu Hou blew his beard and said with a glare.
"No, no need!" Xing Qianqiu waved his hand and said with a smile.
"You really think I'm thanking you!" Seeing Xing Qianqiu's expression, Chu Hou slapped his forehead: "Forget it, just pretend to be stupid."
After saying that, Chu Hou turned around, walked back to the hall, sat down, and rolled his eyes at Xing Qianqiu: "Speak for yourself."
"What did you say?" Xing Qianqiu glanced at Duan Ming, then led Duan Ming and Xu Shizhong to the main seat and sat down: "I still want to ask, what is the purpose of Chu Hou coming here this time?"
"You kid..." Chu Hou sighed: "It's tiring to deal with you people. Tell me, what are you going to do about the Hundred Ghost Night Walk?"
"Haha, this is what Chuhou originally asked about." Xing Qianqiu said with a smile: "I wonder what Chuhou thinks? Is there really a ghost?"
"Is there a ghost? I killed as many as eight thousand enemies on the battlefield, if not ten thousand. If there were really ghosts, I would have been killed by those evil ghosts long ago." Chu Hou curled his lips.
"So, Marquis Chu doesn't believe in ghosts anymore." Xing Qianqiu nodded: "But the last case of Linzhou Talented Scholar..."
"You want to ask me why I wrote those excerpts about the Linzhou Talented Scholar Case last time?" Chuhou smiled and said directly.
"That's right." Xing Qianqiu said.
"Haha, I don't mean anything else." Chu Hou shook his head: "I just want to see if your Majesty will kill me if the fold is presented to you!"
"..." Xing Qianqiu was speechless when he heard Chu Hou's words.
What is in the head of this Chuhou? Use your own head to test the emperor's thoughts?
Not only was Xing Qianqiu at a loss for words, but Duan Ming and Xu Shizhong were also speechless.
"Um, this Chu Hou probably had his head damaged during the battle, right?" Duan Ming asked in a low voice.
"I don't know, probably not." Xu Shizhong replied softly.
"Haha..." Seeing the expressions of the three of them, Chu Hou slapped the table and laughed loudly: "Look at you smart people, haven't you been tricked by me?"
"I know." Seeing Chu Hou's expression, an idea flashed in Duan Ming's mind, and he shook his head with a smile.
"Tell me, what did you guess?" Chu Hou noticed the change in Duan Ming's expression and pointed at Duan Ming and asked.
"Marquis Chu did this probably to hide his clumsiness." Duan Ming said solemnly... This chapter has been completed!
