In the front hall of the guest house, the Korean dancers danced hard, but they still could not prevent the atmosphere from becoming tense again.
"Okay, what about Eunuch Huang's entourage? They weren't sick and hanged themselves, right?" Cai Bin asked with a dark face.
"They all missed their homeland and went back with the envoy to report their funeral." Li Renren sighed: "It is very likely that something unexpected happened to them."
"..." The faces of everyone in the mission turned ugly when they heard this. It was too easy, and it gave people a bad association, right?
"Where is Eunuch Huang's coffin?" Lao Liu suddenly asked, "Isn't it also on that boat?"
"That's not true. According to the king's decree, we buried Mr. Huang in Xingguo Temple." Li Renren's expression changed slightly and he said.
~~
Although Whitebeard finally managed to get over it, the banquet still ended on bad terms...
As soon as Black Beard and White Beard left, Lao Wu went to cook himself and made a large pot of fried egg and fried rice using the remaining rice.
The brothers gathered around the pot and each had a big bowl of fried rice, and then they felt comfortable eating.
Even Cai Bin and Lin Mi came over and begged for a bowl of rice each. It didn't matter whether they were hungry or not. The key point was that eating the rice cooked by His Highness King Wu would last a lifetime.
And it’s surprisingly delicious!
"I didn't expect that the fifth master is also a master of cooking?" Cai Bin said in surprise.
"That's what I learned through practice." Lao Si said proudly, "There's nothing our brothers can't do."
"You guys are so awesome!" Cai Bin and Lin Mi naturally only praised it. "Fifth master shows off his skills, it's much more delicious than the Goryeo state banquet."
"He, damn, the Koreans must have deliberately suppressed us." The second child snorted angrily.
"It shouldn't be so. You see, they are as thin as chickens. Maybe they have a small appetite." The third child shook his head and changed the topic: "However, there is something wrong with today's meal."
"Yeah." The brothers nodded.
"Third Master, what do you say?" Cai Qianhu said hurriedly.
"These two Goryeo prime ministers have quite a problem." The third child said slowly: "The one named Li said that their king is sick. He is so sick that he can't get out of bed? And the one named Cui means...
, let’s wait patiently.”
"That's right." Lin Mi nodded in agreement:
"To put it bluntly, when the envoys of the Heavenly Dynasty come to announce the decree, the King of Korea has to see us even if he is lying down. Even if he has one breath left and is unconscious, the prime minister has to arrange for him to receive the decree before speaking.
"In this way, they can show their respect and respect for the Celestial Empire. Secondly, it will also prevent us from irritating us and saying bad things about them when we go back."
"That's right. It's impossible for the emperor to come in person. What's the attitude of Korea? Why don't you just listen to what we have to say?" the third child agreed.
"If we say something bad about him, the emperor may issue an order to punish him when he is angry. The King of Korea must apologize and suffer any punishment. So they will try their best to avoid making us unhappy." Lin Mi is indeed worthy of it.
Officials from the Ministry of Rites are very experienced in this field.
"Then their attitude is strange." The fourth child handed the empty bowl to the fifth child, took another bowl and said: "I think these two guys are just pretending to be respectful and polite. In fact, they don't like us very much."
.Especially that Mr. Cui. He wanted to get angry several times, but Mr. Li suppressed him with his eyes."
"Well, I feel it too." Lao Liu said with deep understanding. In fact, he had felt this way since he was on Tamna Island.
It seems that both Pu Wanhu and today's White Beard and Black Beard appear to be respectful, but in fact they are not inferior. Even the Jin She people are vain and can't see any true feelings.
This is quite different from the stereotype in his mind that 'it is the greatest honor to be Ming Dynasty's dog!'
There is no ugly appearance of competing for flattery, but on the contrary, he is vaguely wary of them.
~~
"Something's wrong, something's wrong!" Zhu Zhen also took another bowl and said in a deep voice:
"Why did Eunuch Huang suddenly hang himself? This matter must be investigated clearly!"
"Yes, what do you mean, he is also the envoy sent by Ming Dynasty to Korea." Lao Si nodded and said: "It is absolutely unacceptable to die here without knowing anything!"
"Speaking of it, it is really strange." The third child suddenly remembered something and said: "Since they said that all the entourage returned to China with the ship, it stands to reason that they should bring Eunuch Huang's coffin with them!"
"That's right." Lin Mi patted his head and said, "Only when you carry the coffin and return home can you explain to the court. If you leave Eunuch Huang in a foreign country and go back by yourself, how can you explain to the court?"
"Yes, this is how normal people think." Cai Bin also suddenly said: "The behavior of those followers is too abnormal!"
"Is there a possibility that Whitebeard is making things up?" Lao Liu asked: "Just to let us find out there is no supporting evidence?"
"But Eunuch Huang has been buried, and as an envoy of the Celestial Dynasty, the funeral must be grand, so there is no way to force his coffin to return to China?" Lao San followed his train of thought and guessed.
"That makes sense." Lao Si nodded, his eyes becoming more solemn as he said, "But doesn't this mean they are lying to us? Why would they lie to us?"
"If it is a normal death, there is no need to lie to us." Lao San sighed softly and said:
"Even if Mr. Huang really hanged himself, they should report it truthfully, so that they have the least responsibility."
"That's right." Lao Liu said: "Unless Eunuch Huang did not commit suicide but committed suicide, and the murderer is someone they have to protect, then this can only make sense."
"It's really..." Everyone gasped, and Lin Mi said with some difficulty: "If this is the case, the matter will be serious and earth-shattering."
In any case, Eunuch Huang is the envoy of the Ming Dynasty. If he was killed in Goryeo, how would the Ming Dynasty react?
Ban Dingyuan had already given the answer - Nanyue killed the Han envoys and slaughtered them into nine counties. King Wan killed the Han envoys and headed to Beique. North Korea killed the Han envoys and killed them immediately.
Boss Zhu always regards himself as the emperor of the Han Dynasty. How could he be willing to let the Ming Dynasty be compared to the Han Dynasty?
~~
"I guess the kings and ministers of Goryeo also read the Book of Han, so they tried their best to conceal the death of Eunuch Huang?" Lao San said quietly.
"Then what should we do? To investigate or not to investigate?" Lin Mi asked several of his highnesses for instructions: "Xiaoguan and Cai Qianhu have already put life and death at risk, but the sons of a few rich men cannot sit down in the hall..."
"No need to persuade me." Lao Si waved his hand and said proudly: "When we came out to practice, the first thing we did was to forget our identities. Otherwise, we might as well stay at home. Don't remind me again."
"Yes, not only must we investigate, but we must investigate immediately!" Lao Liu stood up and said:
"I'm afraid they'll go back to cause trouble. To avoid a long night of nightmares, we'd better go check it out today!"
"Okay, let's do it!" The third child also agreed: "Old Cai, go find that Jin Tao and tell him that we are going to express our condolences to Eunuch Huang, and ask him to prepare and take us there."
"Here." Cai Qianhu responded hurriedly and went out to find the Jin Sheren.
