Chapter Thirty-Nine: The King of Karma Arrives

In Kyoto Castle, there seems to be no wind and waves on the surface for a few days.

The news that key evidence of the bombing case has been obtained has also spread. Luo Xiaotian, like a hunter, was patiently waiting for the prey to appear.

As long as nothing else, he has a good chance of winning this bet.

All parties in Kyoto are well informed about the progress of the bombing. In addition to the crown prince and others, the king of karma who can compete with them is no exception.

Among all the emperor's heirs, people say that the heart of King Ye is the most similar to him, and he is even more strategicistic and strategic. Among these praises, there is another meaning behind it, that is, - killing the king and seizing power. As long as someone takes advantage of it, the emperor will be suspicious of the king, and the prince knows the truth.

It is precisely because he is the eldest son that he is afraid that the story of the previous generation will repeat itself in him. Therefore, the prince has always been wary of King Ye and confronts him everywhere. Over time, the two tacitly fought for the throne and imperial power.

It's just that the king is jealous of the emperor's suspicion, and he is more cautious and better at hiding himself, and it is difficult to reveal the landscape.

Because of this, the usual hobby of the king is extremely simple, just indulging in the singing and dancing of the warbler, the silk piano, inviting each other with songs, and meeting friends with words.

At this time of turmoil, the Yewang Mansion is more lively than usual. In the courtyard, singing and dancing are leveled, and the orchestra is singing.

The king of the industry, who was already a little drunk, walked elegantly, swaying among the dancing girls with a wine glass, intoxicated physically and mentally. There are a few celebrities, in order to help the fun, poems and songs improvised and splashed ink into paintings.

At this time, a guard outside the courtyard hurried in, came to the banquet, and stood there respectfully waiting for the king.

As if he had expected it, the king had just returned to normal in an instant, and slowly walked down the steps to the guard.

The guard whispered a few words to him, the situation seemed urgent, and due to the noisy environment, the king made a gesture to change places. Then he moved away, followed by the guards.

The two of them mysteriously went to a secluded place, and looked around to make sure that no one was disturbing.

King Ye looked solemn, frowned slightly, and said, "What I said just now, when did the incident happen?" ”

The guard immediately replied, "It should have been just a few days ago, and my subordinates had just gotten a tip. ”

After a moment's thought, King Ye continued to ask, "Have you seen people?" Are you sure it's our people? ”

"The guards were very strict, no one was allowed to enter except for his cronies and entourage, and the informant only saw a figure in a night suit when he was captured and entered the palace."

"Four people went together, and there was no evidence that three bodies died, why did one person disappear mysteriously." Ye Wang muttered to himself.

"They are infallible people, and maybe there was an accident on the night of the incident. Otherwise, he would not have left without permission. The guard explained.

"Accident! Accidentally! Where are there so many accidents! It's just that three people died unexpectedly, how can they still be separated for no reason! Ye Wang said stupidly.

The guard was a little frightened, and said with trepidation: "The fire at the city gate is indeed an accident, and as for the scattered people, it is difficult for the subordinates to guess. ”

"You trained these people, do you have direct evidence?" King Ye asked.

"These people are absolute dead soldiers, please rest assured, even if they are tortured to extract confessions, they will be tight-lipped, and there is no evidence on them."

King Ye's tense nerves seemed to relax a little, and after thinking about it carefully, he thought about it: "Don't panic, I think of one person, for the sake of prudence, let's go meet him." ”

King Ye is a smart man, and it is impossible for him to sit idly by and be indifferent to the progress of the entire case. It's just that the way of dealing with it is different from others, he doesn't want to fight with others for any clues, what he wants to do is to win someone, and this person is Luo Xiaotian.

……

At this moment, Luo Xiaotian was drinking tea in the Hou Mansion while listening to Li Wenyi's latest case report.

Half a pot of tea in the past.

The servant suddenly hurriedly ran into the door to report: "Young master, someone is visiting, and the little one doesn't dare to stop him, it's His Royal Highness the King of Industry." ”

In this regard, Luo Xiaotian didn't seem surprised, just smiled lightly. Li Wenyi was very nervous, after all, King Ye had also sent someone to woo him.

Soon after the servants left, the king had already arrived at the entrance of the main hall.

The demeanor of the comer is very similar to that of the emperor, but it is a little more feminine, and it has an imperial aura that cannot be concealed, and it is majestic. Moreover, he only had one personal guard with him.

Luo Xiaotian hurriedly got up to greet him and bowed to King Ye.

"His Royal Highness the King of the Industry, I am here today, and my subordinates have not greeted me from afar, and I hope you will forgive me."

King Ye smiled at him when he saw him, approached him, and helped him: "Lord Xiaotian, you don't have to be polite, we are of the same age, we are like-minded people, we should become friends." ”

This karma king took the initiative first, and naturally approached, so that the atmosphere suddenly became familiar.

Luo Xiaotian thought to himself: There is an old fox in the palace, there is a little fox here, I am afraid that I have stabbed the fox's nest......

Thinking in his heart, forget it, and go back politely on the surface: "Your Highness is really sympathetic to your ministers, forgive me for not understanding officialdom etiquette."

Your Majesty is grateful, Your Highness, please take a seat! ”

King Ye took his seat and immediately waved his hand to signal them to sit down.

After taking a sip of the tea poured out by the servant, his eyes were bright, and he said with great joy: "Xiaotian, this tea is exactly the same as what I drink, the fragrance is light and elegant, the entrance is sweet, and it is a good tea." I don't know where your tea comes from? ”

Luo Xiaotian refilled the teacup in front of King Ye, and said with a slight smile: "Your Highness doesn't know, this tea is picked from Tianqi Peak, absorbing the essence of all things in the mountain, although it is not a famous tea, but it is unique and natural. ”

"Oh? Apocalypse Peak! Could it be that Spirit Mountain in Lingyang City? I heard that there is full of fairy spirit, the smoke is vast, and there are many rare beasts that ordinary people have never seen. When the king spoke, he was happy and sincere, which made people listen to it kindly.

"Your Highness is really well-informed, and even knows all this. If you like this tea, I will order someone to prepare it, and Your Highness will bring it back. ”

After finishing speaking, Luo Xiaotian thought in his heart: The medicine you sell in the gourd, shouldn't you also take it out and take a look.

Sure enough, the king immediately cut to the chase: "This is not good, how can there be a reason to take things when you enter the door." When thou ascended, thou wast busy, and thy king did not come to congratulate thee. Today happens to be a little light gift to congratulate you. ”

The guards didn't wait for King Ye's orders, and directly placed the gift on the table in front of Luo Xiaotian.

"How can you trouble the king, the subordinates are flattered......"

Luo Xiaotian originally wanted to say a few polite words and politely refuse the gift, but before the words were finished, he was immediately interrupted by King Ye.

"Huh...... Brothers don't have to see each other, if Xiaotian feels that he can't go, then when he will leave, I will take the tea away, how about it? ”

Terrible! Just like your father-Luo Xiaotian whispered in his heart, and a smile forced out of his face.

King Ye took a sip of tea and continued: "Xiaotian, as soon as you took up your new position, your father entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, which is a high expectation for you. The East Gate bombing case is very tricky, and some people are secretly ready to move. If you don't believe me, you can ask Commander Li. ”

Li Wenyi scolded secretly: What are you doing to me. But he said resignedly: "Your Highness, how dare the minister talk about it......"

Luo Xiaotian saw that Li Wenyi was embarrassed, and then said: "The subordinate is stupid, and he is only responsible for supervising the investigation of the case in Dali Temple. ”

This clearly tells the king that there is no need to worry too much about the investigation of the case.

King Ye was speechless for a while, drinking tea to relieve the embarrassment, and he couldn't directly explain his intentions, and in the face of Luo Xiaotian's humility and arrogance, he suddenly looked at him differently.

So, continue to pick soft persimmons and pinch them.

"Commander Li, you are also assisting in the investigation of the Dongmen bombing, and you should share more of the burden for the scholars, but now there are any difficulties and doubts that need the help of this king, although it is so."

Li Wenyi didn't know how to answer, glanced at Luo Xiaotian, and then at Ye Wang, his brows lowered, and his eyelids jumped.

"His Royal Highness, he is a military attaché, what does His Highness need to know, just ask me." Luo Xiaotian saw that King Ye's words were vague, and said directly to the point.

He laughed: "This king is also to be able to contribute to share some trivial matters for his father." ”

"Your Highness, the clues we have so far are, first, there were three charred dead bodies at the scene, but there is no evidence of death, only that there was a fight at the time of the crime. Second, the mastermind behind the scenes must have a relationship with the royal family, as evidenced by the special paper of the palace. Thirdly, some people have been acting very closely recently, either against me or trying to destroy evidence. "There's nothing to hide from this," Luo Xiaotian said.

King Ye relieved his heart, listened to his outspokenness, and did not hide anything, he was sure that he had not been taken by the crown prince first, and the evidence on the scene did not crisis him at all.

"It's so good, it's just the mastermind behind it, how much can you speculate?" King Ye asked.

Luo Xiaotian shook his head and said: "The investigation is about evidence, and the subordinates don't dare to guess. ”

"That's the case, a big fire burned everything, plus the heavy rain for days, it's really embarrassing Brother Xiaotian." King Ye took a sip of tea from his teacup and continued: "That's the end of business, let's not talk about it. This king has a reluctant request, if it is convenient, when Xiaotian comes to my mansion to gather, he can also make friends with many elegant people,"

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, it's really an honor to come and visit you another day!" Luo Xiaotian agreed without thinking.

King Ye was relieved and nodded with a smile.

Li Wenyi didn't expect him to agree so readily, is this to get closer to the king of industry?

In fact, Luo Xiaotian just wanted to give King Ye a few thin faces, and he didn't treat him as an opponent, this is what he should look like as an outsider, even if he is replaced by a prince, he will answer the same way.

Coming into contact with these royal heirs also made Luo Xiaotian sigh: In this Kyoto City, I'm afraid that even a hen wants to turn herself into a phoenix, or the master is at ease.
