Relying on the broken tree, Chen Shenqing held the wine jar with one hand and drank heavily. The wine continued to flow into Chen Shenqing's mouth like white water.
Finally, when the wine jar was put down, the beard above and below Chen Shenqi's lips had become wet from the wine. Chen Shenqi stretched out his hand without any image, and directly wiped the wine on his mouth with his sleeve.
His eyes were dark, and he felt aggrieved in his heart.
Why is life so miserable?
The sun was shining brightly in the afternoon and the warm breeze was blowing slowly, but Chen Shenqi did not feel the warmth. Instead, he felt the coldness blowing on his face, as if he was in a biting cold wind.
It's too awful.
Dou Changsheng regarded himself as a scapegoat and wanted to take the blame, and the prince was not a good person either. What he said sounded better than what he sang, but the result was too miserable.
In the morning, the Shang people were not involved in human affairs. Instead of directly protesting to the Ministry of Rites, they spread the news and declared that if the case could not be solved within five days, they would leave the human race and bear all the consequences.
The tone was very tough, but it also left some room. He did not directly say that he was innocent, but asked the human race to investigate, giving the human race a step up and five days to investigate the details of the incident.
Although time is tight, the Shang clan has already relented. They dare not directly say that they will not let the humans investigate, and directly choose to go to war with the humans.
But after the news spread, the Ministry of Rites quit the job and agreed to take a month.
All right.
It was decided by Zhou himself, and the Shang clan did not agree.
But we have made a decision, and the Shang Clan must abide by it, so the Shang Clan only gives five days?
What is happening here?
Do you look down on our human race?
Officials from the Ministry of Rites came to the door in person and began to negotiate with the Shang clan. Five days was too short, and it was impossible to investigate the real culprit behind the scenes. They had to be granted a period of grace and give them some more time.
The Ministry of Rites is truly dedicated to serving the public and serving the country with all its might.
Chen Shen’s heart is so cold.
He grabbed the wine jar and started drinking again.
The Ministry of Rites was dedicated to its own good, to the human race, and to Great Zhou, so the final result of the negotiation was that the five-day period became three days.
The Ministry of Rites was strict and never made any mistakes, but the Shang clan was so angry that they directly reduced the deadline by two days. If they could not investigate clearly in three days, the Shang clan's envoys would choose to leave directly.
Although the Ministry of Rites did not deliberately cause chaos, the impact was not small. All the officials who went to negotiate with the Shang people have been dismissed from their posts and reduced to serving the people. This punishment is not unsevere.
But what's the use of riding a horse?
The more Chen Shenqi thought about it, the angrier he became.
He shook the empty wine jar in his hand, and with a click, the wine jar fell to the ground and fell into pieces. The remaining wine inside began to spill out and seep into the soil.
The final result was that two more days were lost and it took three days to solve the case.
But now there is no clue. Qingfeng, the messenger of the Shang clan who was thought to be a rare commodity, is now of no use at all. Not only is it useless, it has also become a hot potato.
Chen Shenzhen had interrogated him several times in person for his own sake, and he knew that Qingfeng really knew nothing and was not being stubborn at all, resisting his own interrogation.
This result is so chilling. It would be better if Qingfeng is a tough guy and would rather die than say anything. At least there is a clue.
Chen Shenquan stretched out his hand to grab it, and a jar of wine in the distance rose up from the ground. In an instant, it fell into Chen Shenquan's palm. Chen Shenquan tore open the seal and took another big gulp.
His face was flushed and he smelled of alcohol all over his body.
It's difficult.
It’s so difficult for me, Lao Chen.
How could it be possible to solve the case in three days? Nowadays, unless one has personally watched the whole story of the killing of the Spirit Clan envoy, or there are some clues, it is extremely difficult to determine who the real culprit is.
Not to mention this matter, what's the use of just finding the real murderer?
It's of no use at all. It must be related to the Shang clan before the case can be concluded. When the time comes, the evidence will be irrefutable.
No.
Even if there is no ironclad proof, as long as there are some key clues that can prove that it is related to the Shang clan, we can survive this crisis. But it is impossible now, it is really too difficult.
Chen Shenqing has basically given up, there is no hope of success at all.
Dou Changsheng is unreliable. This guy can advance and retreat freely. Even if he fails in the end, he will only be dismissed from office together with King Chen.
"Old Chen."
"Where are you?"
Dou Changsheng looked at Chen Shenqin, who was drinking and drinking in the distance, and quickly stepped forward and asked happily: "Old Chen, you have found a clue."
"But we have to celebrate together. Why did I drink it myself?"
Click.
A crisp voice sounded.
The wine jar in Chen Shencatcher's hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces, and the wine spilled to the ground.
For a third-grade master who is accomplished in martial arts to be unable to hold a jar of wine at this moment is enough to show how out of character Chen Shenquan is in his heart right now.
Totally depressed.
Looking up at Dou Changsheng, who had an unpretentious expression, Chen Shenqin could not see the slightest hint of hypocrisy. As a veteran policeman, Chen Shenqin could tell that this was a true thought coming from his heart.
But Chen Shenqi didn't believe it at all. This was Dou Changsheng in front of him, so he definitely made a mistake in his judgment. Dou Changsheng's acting skills were still beyond imagination. Every word he said came from the bottom of his heart, and he took the fake things seriously.
If you believe that what is fake is true, then Dou Changsheng will be very terrible. He has completely deceived himself.
Chen Shenqing felt horrified in his heart. Even the drunkenness he had felt had dissipated. After a moment of silence, he said bitterly and helplessly: "Where are the clues? Now that the time is shortening and decreasing, there are only three days left."
"And today counts as almost one day, so there are two days."
"It is impossible to solve the case."
Dou Changsheng also sighed. Even Lao Chen, who was proficient in investigating crimes and very capable, said this, so it would be really difficult to solve the case this time.
Dou Changsheng did not think deeply. He still knew how much he weighed. He was afraid that his life could not be saved and he would have to leave it to the Shang clan.
Dou Changsheng dared to do this, of course he was prepared to hand over his life.
I just didn't expect that the matter would become such a big deal, and since serious investigation is no longer possible, it seems that I have to take a sideways approach and get involved again.
Yes, things have become big, no matter how big they are, they can’t get any bigger.
What did you say?
If you die now, you will die. If you make great plans, you will die. If you wait for death, can a country die?
Dou Changsheng touched the handle of the knife at his waist, looked down at Chen Shenqi and said in a deep voice: "Stop drinking."
"You go find King Chen or King Jin."
"Invite some strong men."
"I'm going to see the Shang tribe's envoy and ask the Mingyue envoy to come out."
"If I can't get out, then my life will be my responsibility to them."
Chen Shenqing looked up at Dou Changsheng, looking at the righteous Dou Changsheng, and couldn't believe that these words came from Dou Changsheng's mouth.
Fake, everything is fake.
I was drunk, this was all an illusion.
Chen Shenqin couldn't help but stretched out his hand and pinched himself. After feeling the pain, he quickly stood up and said loyally: "I will go with you, sir."
The old thief still wants to trick me.
This is not true. I will be the one looking for someone when the time comes, and it will be me who continues to attack the Shang tribe’s envoys. After being deceived once, how could Chen Shenping be willing to do it a second time?
Dou Changsheng shook his head and rejected the sermon: "It is too dangerous to go to see the Shang clan this time. If I die, I will die. This time it is all because of me, but you are going to die, Old Chen, so you really can't do it."
Chen Shenqing was shocked, and his attitude became more resolute and he said: "It's just one death, why should I be afraid of death."
A person like the old thief who cherishes his life dares to go to the Shang clan. He must be fully prepared and will definitely not die in Shili Village. In Chen Shenzhen's opinion, it is safest to go to Shili Village together.
.
And there is an important point.
Dou Changsheng's original intention in investigating the case of the Spiritual Tribe Mission this time was definitely to win the favor of the gods and demons. The secondary intention was to help the King of Jin and attack the Ministry of Rites, so that he could drag down Du Beiyuan, the Minister of Rites.
Few people could see the former goal, as they had all been blinded by the recent battle to seize the throne.
Now that Dou Changsheng is going to meet the Shang clan envoy again, regardless of whether the case can be investigated clearly, Dou Changsheng's attitude of not being afraid of foreign gods and demons, his iron bones, and his strong character are completely established.
Thinking about it carefully, there was Qizhou slaying the dragon before, and this incident, the image of a man who would do anything for the sake of the human race appeared on the page.
I have done it once, and although the consequences were serious, if I do it again, the consequences will still be the same. After all, people can only die once.
Chen Shenping would never dare to go to the Shang clan by himself, but if Dou Changsheng is there, it is worth the gamble.
Dou Changsheng looked at the resolute old Chen and was completely moved. Just say: How can there be all bad people in the world? There are also good people.
For the sake of brotherhood, you can sacrifice your life.
It's so rare.
Dou Changsheng showed an moved expression and refused repeatedly: "No, it's too dangerous."
Such a good brother, Dou Changsheng still expected to be a good brother with him for the rest of his life, how could he let him die here and save his own life, which was worth fifty thousand cultivation.
Dou Changsheng stretched out his hand to interrupt Chen Shenqin's refusal, and said excitedly: "Good brother, show loyalty."
"How could I let you, Lao Chen, die here?"
"Don't refuse, this is my kindness."
grass.
Chen Shenqing looked at Dou Changsheng's expression, his excited expression, and his trembling voice. His preconceptions changed later. Dou Changsheng's expression was ferocious, and his voice was like a sound squeezed out from between his teeth.
The condescending posture blocked the sunlight, like a demon god giving the final order.
I heard these words in a vague way, but if you don't go, I will kill you.
Chen Shenqi felt desolate in his heart.
This is a lot of work for one person.
Can't it be replaced by someone else?
Chen Shenqi went against his conscience and forced himself to say happily: "Thank you, sir."
