"You traveled thousands of miles back and forth, and you must have been very tired on the way. I couldn't bear to send you an errand just after you came back, but why am I surrounded by a bunch of trash? Only you can take on this matter.
You should work harder if you can." Li Wanjiang said something humane.
"This slave must work hard and work hard to catch the murderer of the prince!" Xiao Chen actually said this with anger.
"Well, I can rest assured that you are doing things, but this matter is important and must be investigated as soon as possible. How about I give you three days?" Li Wanjiang became shameless again.
Xiao Chen remained silent, thinking to himself that I might as well jump into the lake.
"Oh... the three-day period is a bit short, so let's go for seven days. Xiao Chen, my son was stabbed, and I am really angry and anxious in my heart. Even though I am a king, I can't help but feel like licking the baby. You should do the same.
It would be nice to sympathize with my worries." Li Wanjiang said softly.
"I'm going to investigate right now." What else could Xiao Chen say?
"Some time ago, the northern tribes sent some sheep. I tasted them and found they tasted good. I will give you a few later." Li Wanjiang considered this a reward.
"Thank you Lord for your grace!"
After leaving Qinzheng Hall, he went straight to Cining Palace. The Queen Mother was ill. As a eunuch in the palace, he must go to greet her. He probably wouldn't be able to see her, but the procedure had to be followed.
Unexpectedly, when Wang Jinzhong saw him, he took his hand and walked directly in, "The Queen Mother knows that you are coming back and is anxious to see you. If you don't come, I have to invite you."
"Eunuch Wang, what does the Queen Mother want from me?" Xiao Chen knew that something was up.
"What else happened? Were you in Jiangdong County when the Queen Mother's nephew Shi Mingwen was assassinated?" Wang Jinzhong said.
"Oh, I don't even know about this. By the way, Mr. Wang, have they delivered the little things I brought back?" Xiao Chen whispered.
"You are so polite!" Wang Jinzhong's wrinkled old face showed a happy smile, "We brothers are still doing this, this time we will accept it, but we won't allow it next time!"
No wonder he saw Xiao Chen being so affectionate, it was all thanks to the gift.
The Queen Mother was indeed not in good spirits, her face was particularly ugly, and the flesh on her cheeks was hanging loosely, making her look even more like an old witch.
He was weak when speaking, "Xiao Chen, tell the Ai family everything you know. The clearer the better. They all lied to me, all of them! My good nephew died in such a mysterious way...
"
What does Xiao Chen know?
He was still in the palace at the time, and was shocked when he learned the bad news. In grief, he left quickly without knowing anything else.
But I heard it was Xiao Xinghan who did it.
"You have a long life, but my nephew has a short life." The Queen Mother sighed leisurely.
It seemed that she also believed that the person Xiao Xinghan really wanted to assassinate was actually Xiao Chen, but she was just cooperating with her nephew Shi Mingwen to become Xiao Chen's scapegoat.
How do you ask Xiao Chen to defend this matter?
All I could do was lower my head and look frightened and frightened.
"This bitch Xiao Xinghan, even if he killed the nephew of the Ai family, he actually wanted to kill the grandson of the Ai family! Xiao Chen, the Ai family knows that you are capable, this time you must kill the daring gang of Tianxuanhui
Kill all the thieves and leave no one behind!"
The Queen Mother knew about the errand that the Emperor had just taken for Xiao Chen. It seemed that the two of them had discussed it before.
"I will obey Yi's decree!" Xiao Chen said hurriedly.
"The Queen Mother is tired, Xiao Chen, please kneel in peace." Wang Jinzhong on the side saw the Queen Mother closing her eyes and said goodbye loudly.
"The Queen Mother, I learned that the Queen Mother was slightly ill, and I was very anxious. It happened that someone in Burma had collected a large Ganoderma lucidum. When I learned about it, I asked for it regardless of the situation. This thing has been
It has thousands of years, and taking it will be very beneficial to the body..." Xiao Chen said and took out a brocade box from his arms.
After opening it, it turns out to be a purple-red Ganoderma lucidum. A fragrant and medicinal smell spreads instantly, making the person feel drunk.
The Queen Mother's dead fish eyes immediately opened and widened, glowing with greed, "Oh? I'm really sorry that you still have such filial piety..."
Therefore, giving gifts is also very particular. What I gave to Wang Jinzhong were all silk brocades, Burmese specialties, but I couldn’t give these to the Queen Mother. Didn’t she still lack these things?
An old lady of her age is most afraid of death, so it is most appropriate to give her a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. According to folklore, this is a fairy grass. If you eat it, you will live forever and be immune to all diseases!
In fact, it’s all nonsense. Ganoderma lucidum is just a precious medicinal material. Its medicinal value may not be as good as the century-old wild ginseng, but the meaning is very good...
The Queen Mother was obviously very happy.
You can't give this thing as a gift to the prince. The prince is so young and has never even been an emperor. How can he become an immortal so quickly?
The prince is ill and lustful, so it would be perfect to give him some beauties.
The ten beauties given to Li Wanyun by Burma were all returned. When the envoy from Burma was in trouble, Xiao Chen helped him solve the problem. Give it to me, and I will give it to the prince for you...
But before going to see the prince, one thing must be clarified. Is the assassin from the Tianxuan Society?
"I don't know." Duan Ling'er, the little princess, blinked her big innocent eyes and didn't know what to answer.
"You are not from Tianxuanhui!" Xiao Chen said angrily.
"No." Duan Linger answered clearly.
"Then you..." Xiao Chen had three black lines on his forehead.
"But I can contact them, but I don't think Tianxuan will do it. I heard the chief helmsman and others said that Prince Li Xian has no ability, and he has not dealt with his father, the emperor. The only way to kill him is
There will be a hundred harms without any benefit, but keeping him will have a hundred benefits without any harm." Duan Ling'er's small mouth made sense.
"Second brother, is he in Fengyang now?" Xiao Chen also felt that Tianxuan would not do it, but he still wanted to see Xiao Xinghan and ask clearly in person.
"The chief helmsman is not here. He has gone to Yizhou. Maybe Hall Master Fu Yan is there. Can we find him?" Duan Linger felt quite happy.
"That's okay, you make an appointment with him and I'll go see him...be careful! We are a big tree that attracts the wind, and many people are watching." Seeing Duan Ling'er turn around and leave, Xiao Chen hurriedly stopped him and warned him.
"Hehe, don't worry, no one can keep an eye on me!" Duan Linger's laughter was already outside the door.
well……
Zhuge Xiaosheng, Ye Baiqing and others were summoned for discussion. Everyone found the matter very difficult.
Li Wanjiang said he wanted Xiao Chen to find the murderer, but he preconceived the idea that Tianxuan would do it.
Should Xiao Chen directly arrest Tianxuan Hui, or should he continue to search for the real culprit?
"I think the emperor just wants to use this matter to suppress the Tianxuan Society. Shi Mingwen's death from the Queen Mother's illness is an excuse, and now the prince's assassination is another excuse. Together, these two excuses can give the ministers who oppose his suppression
A lot of pressure." Xiao Chen said.
"Well, that's why he asked you, boss, to run this errand. He thinks you must be of the same mind as him. After all, Tianxuan Club is your common mortal enemy." Ye Baiqing smiled bitterly.
