There were singing and dancing in front of the Zhengzheng Palace, the palace dancers and musicians performed in the square in front of the palace to add to the fun, the officials laughed and talked loudly, and the female relatives gathered together in groups, discussing their own topics.
Her Royal Highness the Princess is very busy now. She is busy accepting the praises from hundreds of officials in turn. She can't show any impatience on her face. Li Yi also wants to ask her what's going on in Tai Chi. Stealing a master is a taboo in martial arts. He has to do it no matter what.
I can compensate you with thousands of taels of silver...
There were many female relatives gathered around the imperial concubine and Ruyi, and even Li Yi and Li Xuan were squeezed out of the tent. In the entire Kyoto city, the most popular women among these powerful ladies and rich ladies are not the two.
No one belongs to anyone.
As a perfume monopoly, Her Highness the Princess contributes others and sits in the palace to collect money, but she does not care about these things. These people naturally target Ruyi and the Crown Princess. If they do not take care of it in advance, they are afraid that
When new perfume comes out, they will have to wait for several days to buy it.
It is better to make money from women. I wonder how the new bras made by Zeng Zuimo are doing. If I have the opportunity, I will go over to "appreciate and appreciate" and give her some suggestions. You can also try interesting styles such as lace and hollows, which will benefit everyone.
Male compatriots...
At Ruyifang, the perfume has been generally accepted by women in Kyoto. In the future, he will slowly launch a full range of cosmetics. I am afraid that before long, he will become the man behind women all over the world, making countless male compatriots hate him to the teeth.
Originally, he wanted to chat with Lao Chang, the mobile knowledge base, after the competition was over, but just by a sudden move, he ran away without knowing where he was, and several men in gray took his place.
Behind Emperor Jing.
With regret in his heart, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a line of sight falling on him in front of him. Li Yi turned around and saw a beauty in palace clothes sitting under Emperor Jing, looking at him coldly.
When the woman saw him looking over, a trace of resentment appeared in her eyes, and then she slowly looked away.
He patted Li Xuan next to him on the shoulder and asked: "That person, the one on the left of Your Majesty - who is it?"
"Who?" Li Xuan looked over with some confusion. After being stunned, his face turned slightly serious and asked, "Why are you asking Concubine Cui?"
Li Yi's eyes narrowed, "Is she Concubine Cui?"
Concubine Cui is the biological mother of the King of Shu. She is the legitimate daughter of the Cui family, a powerful family with great influence in Jingguo officials and even the court. If she beat the King of Shu, she will not look good on her.
It is not a good thing to be obsessed with a noble concubine, but Li Yi really has too many lice now and is not itching. He is not in the court, and he stays at home all day long, just basking in the sun and teaching.
Little maid, no matter it is the Chen family or the Qin family, the King of Shu or any other king, it makes no difference whether she offends more or less.
The reappearance of Old Man Chang diverted Li Yi's attention. He wanted to call him over, but when he saw his face gloomy and walking quickly forward, Li Yi's hand that he stretched out to say hello stopped in the air.
A moment later, Li Yi rarely saw Emperor Jing slam the table. The courtiers were shocked. Not long after, a shocking news spread...
An envoy from Qi State died in Honglu Temple.
Regarding the death of their colleagues, the envoys of the State of Qi were naturally extremely angry. They expressed strong condemnation and solemn protest to the king and ministers of the State of Jing, and ordered the State of Jing to hand over the murderer as soon as possible, otherwise they would not guarantee that the Qi State Congress would not take any measures against Jing State.
Imposing sanctions for such behavior that does not adhere to international morality...
It is said that when the emperor heard about this incident, he was very angry. The Ministry of Life and Punishment and Dali Temple jointly took charge of the case and solved it within a time limit. After that, there were countless secret spies to investigate and secretly investigate. The Jingguo court was determined not to give up until the case was solved.
.
As soon as this incident came out, it quickly escalated, causing an uproar in Kyoto and making envoys from other countries panic.
When the two countries are at war, they do not kill the envoys. This is an iron law that has never changed. What's more, this is not on the battlefield, but in the capital of Jingguo, in the residence arranged by Jingguo for the envoys of Qi. The envoys of other countries died.
At Honglu Temple, this was such a bad incident. It might escalate into a diplomatic conflict. Jingguo and Qiguo had just finished a battle. If there was to be another war, it would be too much for them.
alright!
Let's fight, let's fight, Qi and Jing, one is the overlord of the neighboring countries, and bullies the weak countries next to him when nothing happens. The other is a legend who has been bullied for many years and suddenly makes a comeback, attracting the envy of other countries. How can they?
It doesn't matter if they fight, standing in the position of envoys from other countries, they are very happy to see this scene.
However, anticipation is one thing, curiosity is another.
Why did Jing Guo kill the envoys of Qi State? There is no reason at all!
Although it is true that the envoys of the State of Qi are not good at all, and they have been causing trouble in the capital of the State of Jing these days, causing chaos in the entire capital, causing headaches for the courtiers and the emperor, at least on the surface, Wen
The martial arts trials were all fair and square. Even if the kings and ministers of Jingguo wanted to get rid of them quickly, they would not foolishly choose Honglu Temple, the most unsuitable place to do it.
When they return to China, they secretly kill a few of them, and everyone will understand. It's so blatant, but it's a bit too much.
Of course, everyone just "just take a look" at Jing Guo's pretentious behavior. As for the truth, they can know it with their toes...
…
…
When something like this happened, the Minister of Dali Temple and the Minister of Punishment were naturally unable to continue attending the banquet. They personally took action and took people to Honglu Temple to collect evidence.
The deceased was an envoy from Qi State. His neck was broken and he died in his room.
The door was closed and the window was wide open. The murderer should have escaped through the window after killing someone in the room.
It's just that the guards of Honglu Temple are extremely tight. It's difficult to sneak in secretly, let alone escape after killing the envoy of Qi State. There are no clues except corpses in the room. The Minister of Punishment and the Minister of Dali Temple frowned.
Frustration, this case has no clue, but His Majesty also issued a death order...
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps at the door of the room, and several people were seen filing out. The two officials frowned, but before they spoke, a thin young man in front of him took off the sign from his waist and handed it to
He gave it to the two of them and said: "The Secret Intelligence Department is doing something, and the rest of the people are waiting to retreat. I would like to ask the two adults to cooperate."
Although the name of the Secret Service makes countless courtiers tremble when they hear it, they are not afraid of them because of their high positions, especially the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. It is precisely because of his keen eye that the thin young man in front of him came from the capital.
The county government asked for him, and he was first promoted to head of the Criminal Department. Later, after being valued by His Majesty, he was included in the Secret Intelligence Department.
The Minister of Punishment frowned and said: "The deceased's neck was broken with great force. There were no other wounds on his body. Except for a few shoe prints on the window, there were no clues left by the murderer at the scene."
The thin young man looked at the messy footprints on the ground, shook his head, and murmured: "What a pity..."
"What?" Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Nothing..." The young man shook his head and said to the people behind him: "Bring all the Qi envoys to the courtyard and have people guard them outside. From now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave here."
"The only clue is that the shoe prints in the window have been compared. This shoe print does not belong to anyone in the temple." The Minister of Punishment said, and was about to go to the window to point it out to him. The thin young man immediately said: "Sir, wait a minute.
!”
Upon hearing this, the Minister of Punishment stopped where he was and saw the thin young man taking off his shoes and walking carefully to the window.
He looked at the window and the shoe prints outside the window, opened the door at the back and went out. He walked around the back porch and stopped briefly in the garden below.
After a while, he walked into the house, pointed to another room adjacent to this room and asked, "Who lives there?"
An official from Honglu Temple thought for a while and said, "It's another envoy from the State of Qi, and he is also the person in charge of this mission from the State of Qi."
