Chapter 50: Hiding a Corpse in a Drum

At this time, in the state banquet hall, everyone was at an impasse, and the matter involved the concubine, as well as the reputation of the three princes, the dignity of the royal family, and the ministers below all looked at the emperor. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The emperor wanted to sentence the night withered grass, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen, this time it can't be rounded, this little girl is quite powerful, give me a set.

Outside the main hall, a costume is a red folded curtain, and the cardigan style is woven with bird feathers, which is very dazzling.

Seeing that the man was dressed strangely, the guard blocked the way and asked, "Who is it?" ”

The foreign minister looked at the man, stood up, and asked: "Emperor Qiqi, the person outside the palace is the king of the Tai Dynasty, it is better to put the royal affairs aside for the time being, and not let outsiders see the jokes of our Qi Kingdom." ”

"Yes, the third emperor and Lan Xue floated back to their seats, and the maidservant also stepped aside." The emperor waved his hand and sat back on the dragon chair helplessly.

"The king of the Thai Dynasty is invited to the palace." The father-in-law read.

The people kneeling on the pedestal, all returned to their original positions, curiously looking at the people of the Tai Dynasty, they were dressed so strangely, compared to the clothes and patterns of the Qi Kingdom, they were more gorgeous.

The king walked slowly up to the pedestal, clasped his hands together, stretched his fingers straight up, bent his head down, and said, "Savatika." ”

When the emperor heard this, he frowned, and a wave of anger couldn't help but rush up from both ribs, slapped the table, and said, "You dare to scold me for being a fool?" ”

The king looked at the emperor with a blank face, at a loss, why was he so angry, didn't he welcome the people of the Thai Dynasty?

The foreign minister explained to the emperor in a panic, "Your Majesty, the king speaks the local dialect, which means hello." ”

"I see...... the emperor embarrassedly picked up the gin glass and drank it all.

The king spoke again: "Sabaidima." ”

After hearing this, the emperor's face was not good again, and he couldn't understand what the king was talking about, so he always seemed to be scolding, and said depressedly: "Foreign Minister, the king has arranged it for you, find a place for him to sit down!" ”

"Commandment." The Foreign Secretary took the order and took the king to the arranged place and sat down.

The king sat down in the position instructed by the foreign secretary and said, "Kuokun." ”

The emperor covered his forehead and leaned on the dragon chair tiredly, not wanting to listen to the king speak the local dialect anymore, it was like killing him.

The foreign minister smiled at the king, but did not reply, and when he saw that the emperor was displeased, he returned to his place and sat down, and sweated.

The night withered grass covered her mouth in the corner and snickered, they are all the lords of a country, but they played the piano to the cow in the main hall, and laughed at me to death.

"Someone! Lift the kick drum down. The father-in-law commanded.

The two guards who came up just wanted to lift the big drum, but a touch of red spread on the drum surface, slowly eroding the entire drum surface.

The king's eyes are on the big drum, this drum will also dye itself, it is amazing, I heard that there are many treasures in Qi before I came, and I was fortunate to see it.

The emperor was also attracted by the big drum and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The leading guard walked to the pedestal, reached out and touched the drum surface, his fingers were printed with red colors, sniffed with his nose, and said in surprise: "This is blood." ”

"How can there be blood on the drum?" The emperor asked.

The leading guards had some guesses in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it bluntly, today is a state banquet, and if something goes wrong, our people's heads will be gone.

"Tell me, do you see something? I forgive you for your innocence. The emperor was also worried.

The leading guard knelt on the ground, clasped his hands into fists, and said: "The subordinates think that there may be a corpse hidden in this drum, just now Miss Lan finished dancing, and there is no abnormality in the drum surface, and then there is a problem, only by opening the drum surface can we be sure." ”

"Pry the drum open for me, and I'll see what's inside." The emperor ordered to take the lead in the guards.

The leading guard pulled out his sword, and with the edge of the crossing, he removed the layer of the drum surface, and a hemp bag was bulging inside, and the mouth of the sack was tied with rope, and the outer layer was stained red with blood, so he didn't dare to open it privately, and asked: "Your Majesty, there is also a hemp bag inside." ”

"Open it for me." The emperor stood up and stared at the hemp bag.

Everyone at the bottom stood up and stared at the hemp bag, wondering what was inside.

The lead guard began to untie the string of the hemp bag, and after opening it, the red liquid overflowed, and the first thing I saw was a woman's head, her hair was messy, but the wound was obvious, and she didn't pull the sack down.

"Uncover the bag of marijuana." The emperor ordered to take the lead in the guards.

The leading guards and their men carried the hemp bag to the base, and the sack was removed, and the woman's clothes were stained red with blood, and she was obviously dead, and she was eighteen years old in appearance, and there were scars on her ankles.

Lord Shangshufu's face sank, and he ran to the pedestal in a panic, and when he confirmed who the deceased was, he cried bitterly: "Little girl! How can this be, who killed you, you went like this, you let your father send the white-haired man to the black-haired man. ”

The other ministers were taken aback, and they talked a lot, saying, "Who killed the daughter of Shangshu Mansion?" The palace is heavily guarded, and the murderer can come and go freely, so wouldn't it be very dangerous for the palace to console. ”

When the emperor heard the identity of the deceased mentioned by the ministers, he fainted with anger on the spot.

The queen got up, helped the fallen emperor, and said anxiously: "Someone! The emperor fainted! ”

"Quickly help the emperor to return to the palace and pass on the imperial doctor." The concubine sweated in fright.

All the eunuchs stepped forward to help the emperor and hurriedly left the state banquet hall, and the maidservants followed closely behind the eunuchs.

The night withered grass was stunned alone, and I haven't figured out what happened to me yet! The emperor has fallen, what should I do? Now it's an unknown identity, so let's stay in the main hall and wait for the changes!

All the ministers left the main hall and went to the emperor's bedchamber.

The other princes also left one after another and went to the emperor's bedroom.

In the main hall, after a while, everyone was gone, no one paid attention to the night withered grass, even the father, the eldest brother, and Xiaotian left without saying a word, leaving a corpse at the scene, and even the Lord Shangshufu who was crying on the ground was taken away by other ministers, indicating that the emperor is the most important.

When everyone was finished, the withered grass stepped forward to look at the corpse, and did not dare to come closer, and looked at her wound from some distance, the wound on her head festered, and it did not look like it was injured by a sharp weapon, and there were small stones on her hair, which must have been thrown by someone with a stone; Looking at the wound on the ankle again, the incision is neat, which should have been cut by a sharp blade.

If you think about it, why would the murderer take a stone if he had a knife or a sword, doesn't this contradict each other? Or is it deliberately disturbing other people's judgment, it's too difficult to guess, this state banquet hall is unlucky, a good person died, and he still has an identity, why kill an unarmed daughter?
