Seven in the morning.
Ordinary people were going out to work, opening shops and setting up stalls. Their work was in full swing, but inside the Seeking Fragrance Terrace, it was silent. The delicate and beautiful girls had used all their skills to serve the guests for an entire night, and were currently enjoying a sound sleep.
The procuress who got up early was counting the accounts from the day before with a golden abacus, her eyes shining. The pimp who had been urged to get up was lazily arranging the tables and chairs that had been messed up by the guests. He raised his head and gave a big yawn. Suddenly, drip, drip, two drops of water fell from the top of his head, making him very annoyed.
"Motherf * cker, which b * tch accidentally spilled the water again? See if I don't teach her a lesson! "The pimp cursed as he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go upstairs.
Then, the third drop of water fell, coincidentally hitting the back of his hand.
Feeling that the liquid was unusually sticky, he was stunned. He looked down and then: "Ahhhhhh —"
"What? The Southern Yan envoy is dead? "
In the Prince of Nanping's residence, Ning Shu was stupefied when she heard the news from Heaven's Inquisition.
Heaven's Inquisition vividly described: "Yes, it was at Xunfang Terrace in the West City. A pimp found it first around seven in the morning. At that time, he was wiping the table downstairs when he felt water dripping from the top of his head. When he crawled upstairs, the corpse of the Southern Yan envoy was already lying on his back. Blood flowed all over the floor and dripped down. It was said that the death was miraculous and tragic. Now that the news has been sent to the palace, the Supreme Court and the Ministry of Justice have already surrounded the entire Xunfang Terrace. "
Among Xiahou Qing's four capable assistants, Heaven's Inquisition was the best at collecting information. Every day, he would pass through the streets and alleys. All kinds of gossip and news from various manors would be gathered by him in less than an hour, and he would send it back to the manor at the fastest speed. He was a human-shaped parrot spirit.
Ning Shu sighed and shook her head. The envoy of the Southern Yan Kingdom, no matter how hateful he was, had suddenly died in the capital of the Great Yue. This was not an easy matter to deal with. His Majesty was probably so anxious that smoke was coming out of his head.
"What about the murderer? Have you found him?"
"All the girls and maids at Xunfang Terrace have been arrested and are being tortured. The guests who stayed at Xunfang Terrace have also been dragged into the Supreme Court for interrogation. However, this matter is really troublesome."
"What do you mean?"
Tianwen spread out his hands and said, "The envoy is about to leave the capital, so a banquet was held at Xunfang Terrace last night. Many courtiers and their sons were invited, including the eldest son of the Prime Minister and the seventh prince."
"Tsk." Ning Shu felt the same way. When it rains, it pours. This was it. The sudden death of an envoy was an extremely sensitive matter. If it was not handled properly, it would definitely affect the relationship between the two countries. The lives of countless people would be affected, and even the fate of the Great Yue Kingdom would be affected … However, in such a troublesome matter, the prince of the Great Yue Kingdom had a foot in it. This time, His Majesty should be bald.
True enough.
Inside the Zi Chen Hall, the floor was filled with debris.
"You unfilial son!!!" His Majesty slapped Xiao Yuncen across the face.
Blood seeped out of the corner of Xiao Yuncen's mouth and he fell to his knees. Everyone in the hall was in danger. No one dared to plead for mercy for him, fearing that His Majesty's rage would affect them and their lives would be in danger.
Xiao Yuncen was full of grievances. He covered his face and said, "Imperial Father, this matter really has nothing to do with Erchen. Last night, the envoy held a banquet and repeatedly sent people to invite this son. This son didn't want to go at first, but that envoy said that if this son didn't show up, it would mean that this son wasn't giving face to him and Southern Yan Kingdom. Erchen was a coward and did not dare to ruin His Majesty's plans, so he reluctantly went to the banquet. However, Erchen only stayed for a short while before returning to the palace. The palace guards and the palace eunuchs and maids can all testify for Erchen. That's right, there's also Imperial Mother! Last night, Imperial Mother came to Erchen's palace to remind Erchen to study hard. How could the envoy's death be caused by Erchen? Imperial Father! You have always understood Erchen, so please believe in Erchen! "
