Xu Qing nodded fiercely: "Of course it's true! If you don't believe it, you can ask Mingyue. By the way, didn't you take a bath?"
Su Qian said: "I wish you could take a bath."
Xu Qing said: "Madam, do you want to sit down for a while?"
Su Qian shook her head: "When Xuan'er and I took a bath, I only brought my change of clothes. I forgot to take my own, so I went over to help Xuan'er get them."
After saying that, Su Qian turned around and went to get clothes for Xuan'er.
After Su Qian left, Xu Qing's eyes finally moved away from the lamppost opposite.
Li Mingyue, who was sitting opposite Xu Qing, smiled and said, "I never thought that Mr. Xu and Sister Su's relationship would be so good. I really envy others."
Xu Qing smiled and said: "I am just a woman, so of course it will hurt a little, and... I can't beat her..."
"Hit?" Li Mingyue shook her head and said with a smile, "Sister Su won't be willing to do it."
Xu Qing thought about the scene that day when she couldn't even get out of bed, and nodded: "Yes, I won't be beaten, but if the lady is really angry, it will be much more serious than a beating."
Xu Qing and Li Mingyue chatted a lot tonight, and the small talk that Xu Qing came to see was the most precious treasure in Li Mingyue's memory.
Because Li Mingyue knew that after returning this time, she was afraid that she would most likely end up alone in that cold palace.
Who cares whether a princess born from a concubine or a palace maid is dead or alive?
Because of this, the memories here are particularly precious.
…
It was getting late, Xu Qing returned to his bedroom after sending Li Mingyue back to the bedroom.
Su Qian had already made the bed and was sitting by the bed waiting.
After Xu Qing came in, Su Qian looked at Xu Qing and said with a smile, "Have you finished chatting with Sister Mingyue?"
Xu Qing nodded and said, "We're done talking."
Su Qian said: "Then should we talk about the issue of my husband saying that I am very fierce?"
Xu Qing was stunned for a moment: "Mother...Mother, did you hear me?"
Su Qian smiled and said, "My husband knows my ears."
Xu Qing knew that he would not be spared tonight, so he fell on the bed and closed his eyes as if resigned to his fate.
The second day
It's dawn
Zhou Dynasty Mission
The tea boy went into the room to deliver tea to Messenger Zhao. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Ambassador Zhao lying on the ground, with Messenger Zhao's own hairpin stuck in his neck. The blood stains on the floor had long solidified...
The tea in the tea boy's hand spilled to the ground and he ran out in a hurry: "No... it's not good!"
The tea boy decided that he would never serve tea in the embassy again today!
This is simply not a job for humans!
Within two days, two envoys died in the mission!
And the envoys in the entire mission also became panicked because of the death of envoy Zhao.
Zhou Guo's deputy envoy died, and everyone wanted to get rid of their own suspicions.
But now that Messenger Zhao is dead, what they are thinking about is whether it will be their turn next.
At this moment, everyone in the entire mission, except Li Xun, was extremely eager to find the real murderer.
The morning bell was rung for the third time.
When the officials from the Jingzhao Mansion and the Ministry of Justice came, they still couldn't find any clues that could be used as evidence.
The messenger surnamed Zhao still died in the same way as the messenger surnamed Zhou. He died in the middle of the room with the doors and windows closed.
It was as if he allowed the murderer to walk in front of him without any struggle.
Originally, the Minister of Punishment still suspected whether an insider was responsible, but now I am afraid that this can be basically ruled out.
Because this envoy Zhao usually has a good relationship with people, and he is also cautious and has never offended anyone in the envoy.
Moreover, if the State of Zhou wanted to use this as an excuse to declare war on the State of Chu, it would be enough to kill a legitimate son of a noble family who served as the deputy envoy.
There is no need to kill another indifferent little messenger.
…
In the past few days, Su Jiyuan has been leading the government officials to search for any missing clues, and then submitted them to the Ministry of Justice.
But five days have passed, and there has been no progress in the case.
This made the chief officer of the Desanfa Department feel more and more panicked. Now the Zhou State is constantly exerting pressure. If the case is not solved within the prescribed time limit, it may be another catastrophe for the Chu State.
What should I do?
Su Jiyuan put the collected files on the table. After listening to the conversation of the chief officer of the Three Laws Department, he naturally knew the stakes. After careful consideration, he said: "Three adults, my son-in-law is also very good at solving cases. When he was in Yong'an County,
Just to help my subordinates solve strange cases repeatedly, why not ask my son-in-law to come and have a look, maybe there will be other clues?"
The Minister of the Ministry of Justice was delighted when he heard this and said: "Why have I forgotten my junior brother? How could someone who knows nothing about detecting cases be able to write such a complete law? Mr. Laosu has changed the Japanese official system."
Invite Mr. Su to a banquet."
Su Jiyuan said: "This is all for the sake of the Chu State. I don't dare to take credit. I'll do it now."
Anding Bofu
While Long Bing'er was eating cakes made by Li Mingyue, she complained to Xu Qing who was making medicine at the side: "Since the death of that deputy of Zhou State, the inspections in and out of the capital have become more and more strict. I want to go to the capital."
Not easy."
Xu Qing fanned the fire and said, "It's normal. Can we still open the city gate as usual and wait for the murderer to escape?"
Long Bing'er finished eating a piece of pastry and stood next to Xu Qing with her hands folded in front of her chest. She seemed to feel the pressure was uncomfortable and moved her hands downwards.
Long Bing'er folded her hands under her chest, looked at Xu Qing and said, "Can your Chu country solve the case? You haven't solved the case for so long?"
Xu Qing said: "Whether it works or not depends on whether Chu State wants to break it or not."
Long Bing'er frowned slightly and said: "If the case cannot be solved, the Zhou State will fight with you. Are you, the Chu State, not afraid at all?"
Xu Qing put down his fan and stood up, shrugged and said: "Who is not necessarily unlucky when we meet in war?"
Long Bing'er was even more puzzled: "Does your Chu country still have money to fight?"
Xu Qing said: "Did you buy it as Liuli Bai?"
Long Bing'er said: "The price of those colored glazes is conservatively estimated to be five to six hundred thousand taels. How can your Chu country rely on this little money to fight the war?"
Xu Qing smiled and said: "Have you never thought that our military expenditure is only short of these five or six hundred thousand taels?"
Long Bing'er's eyes widened when she heard this: "How could..."
At this moment, Su Jiyuan, who had not been seen in Uncle Anding's Mansion for a long time, walked in from a moon gate.
Xu Qing naturally saw Su Jiyuan, with a smile on his face and said: "My father-in-law is back?"
Su Jiyuan looked at Xu Qing, then at Long Bing'er, who was standing next to Xu Qing with his arms folded, coughed and said: "Busy... busy..."
Xu Qing quickly shook his head: "No, no, I'm done. I'm done. Is there anything that my father-in-law can do?"
I finished my work with my wife at dawn today, so of course I am not busy now.
Su Jiyuan coughed and said, "I'm busy... Just finish your work. If you're done, come with your father."
