Chapter 36 Clues
After the curfew ended, the sound of hawkers walking the streets and alleys of Kyoto City gradually increased.
Along with the shouts of the hawkers, there is also a strange thing that echoes through the streets of Kyoto along with the shouting.
It turned out that Xiangguofu met a thief last night, but the thief didn't seem to steal anything, but just arrived at Xiangguofu's daughter's boudoir, who had just died.
Then there was no trace.
With false rumors, this news gradually became more and more specific and exaggerated.
"You may not know that the daughter of the Xiangguo, who looks like a flower and a moon, is ashamed of the moon and a flower, and even the thief went in, so much so that he couldn't help but watch it, and forgot to steal."
In a restaurant in Kyoto, Xiao Er couldn't help but admire while he was busy making tea for the guests.
"You little two, what identity do you know the appearance of the daughter of Xiangguo?"
Hearing the words of the shopkeeper, the drinkers on the side naturally couldn't help but joke.
"Where have I seen it, the guest officer said it was funny, and I also heard about it."
"That's true."
Just as Xiao Er's face was ashamed and he didn't know how to round his words, the scholar in the long shirt on the side nodded in agreement.
The scholar's words suddenly made Xiao Er's waist straighten.
After all, he is just a subordinate who runs away, and his words are naturally not convincing.
But the scholar in front of me obviously has some knowledge status, and he must be a lot more credible if he helps me speak for myself.
"You know again? Have you seen it? ”
Everyone was idle for a while, and naturally someone accosted him and refuted a few words of truth and falsehood.
"At a Kyoto poetry meeting earlier, Xiaosheng was fortunate enough to meet the daughter of Xiangguo."
When the scholar heard everyone questioning him, he couldn't help but raise his voice a little, and what he said was well-founded.
"Hey, that's a great time."
"Then tell me how beautiful the daughter of Xiangguo is."
When the others heard the scholar's words, they couldn't help but express their envy.
"I described that appearance, and I didn't know how to modify it for a while, but I heard that His Majesty personally married the daughter of Xiangguo at the dinner party earlier."
The scholar really met the daughter of Xiangguo once, but it was a long time ago.
Where do I remember clearly, my eyes rolled, and I said another thing I knew.
"If you think about it, you can let His Majesty Chrysostom give you a marriage, and you can imagine that the appearance is stunning."
The scholar stood up slowly, holding the wine jug, as if he had an aftertaste, and he was at ease.
"I don't know, whose family will Your Majesty marry the daughter of Xiangguo today?"
The others were obviously intrigued by the scholar's words, so they even asked questions.
"This, I heard a brother who is in the court today say that His Majesty gave the daughter of Xiangguo to the current prince that night, yes, but it is the prince, the king of Pingyi."
The scholar thought for a moment, and as he spoke, he became more convinced.
"I have also heard of this Pingyi King, he is extremely old-fashioned, and it seems that His Majesty also attaches great importance to the daughter of this Xiangguo."
The people sitting at the two tables on the left and right of the scholar quickly speculated about each other with their eyes cast ingots on each other's eyes.
"Then King Pingyi, I heard that there is a princess in his own family, it seems inappropriate for His Majesty to marry like this."
"Shut up, I'm waiting here to talk about His Majesty today, it's already a crime, and now you dare to say that it's inappropriate?"
The other person just stepped forward and scolded a few people.
When the others heard this, they couldn't help but be afraid.
"Let's talk about the daughter of Xiangguo, what's wrong."
The scholar had returned to his seat at this moment, tasting the wine carefully.
Obviously, what this scholar has to do has been done, but he does not intervene in the words of others.
"In my room, there is a distant cousin who has been working in Xiangguo's mansion, and I heard her say that the daughter of Xiangguo would drink a bowl of soup ground into powder with pearls every night."
This sentence was obviously said by a middle-aged man sitting in the corner of the restaurant.
Seeing that everyone was so hotly discussed, after drinking a few bowls of wine, he couldn't help but open his mouth and join in.
This sentence was only heard by others as a anecdote. When the scholar heard this, he couldn't help frowning, pretending to be a little drunk, took out the money and left in a hurry.
When the scholar arrived in an alley, he slowly took off his clothes and changed into the clothes of the palace.
"What you said is true?"
Feng Yewu was stunned when she heard what Zheng Tianlan on the side said about Xiangguo's daughter drinking pearl soup.
Seems to have found some clues.
And this Zheng Tianlan was the scholar in the restaurant at that time.
It's just that at this moment, his face is indifferent and ruthless, and he doesn't have the sense of youth when he pretends to be a scholar.
Zheng Tianlan is also a spy brought out of Feng Yewu's house, and he can be described as Deadpool to Feng Yewu's center.
"Stand down."
After thinking for a moment, Feng Yewu motioned for Zheng Tianlan to go down first, and then summoned Lu Jue.
"Do you think there is another mystery in this pearl soup?"
Feng Yewu briefly told Lu Jue what Zheng Tianlan heard, and then asked Lu Jue.
"Back to Your Majesty, there must be something wrong with this pearl soup, pearl grinding, even if it is too subtle, there must be fine particles, if it is mixed with poison, ordinary people must be difficult to detect."
"In that case, do you have a way to find out the source of this poison?"
Feng Yewu thought of the King of Razing and the entangled Penglai Pavilion, which has always been famous for assassination, and the use of poison must also be its skill.
It's just that the source and origin of this poison are not clear, and I am afraid it will be difficult to continue to trace it.
"It's going to take some time for the slave."
Lu Jue naturally knew that the imminent thing was to find out the poison, so he didn't dare to delay immediately, and after retreating, he hurriedly went to inquire about the news.
Lu Jue was born in the Zhenbei General's Mansion since he was a child, although he later entered the palace as a slave, but he naturally still has his own relationship with the investigation in the rivers and lakes.
On the other side, in the palace of the king of Pingyi, the king of Pingyi naturally also received news from the people of the Xiangguo Mansion.
This family business has been done.
Although King Pingyi was happy in his heart, he still made a very regretful and sad expression on his face.
Dealing with the people who left the Xiangguo Mansion, King Pingyi entered the study.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates have something to report."
In the darkness, Zhao Xiyan had obviously been waiting for a long time, and there seemed to be some anxiety in his tone.
"What's wrong? What clues did you leave behind? ”
Pingyi Wang was happy in his heart, but when he heard Zhao Xiyan say that something was wrong, his good mood disappeared for a while, and his brows were furrowed.
"Back to the prince, since the death of Xiangguo's daughter, his subordinates have been secretly observing the movements of Xiangguo's mansion."
"Everything is according to the original plan, and the people of the Xiangguo Mansion have found many medical officers, but they have not found anything poisoned."
"Isn't that a good thing?"
When King Pingyi heard this, his hanging heart naturally relaxed.
As long as the poisoning is not discovered, then no matter how deeply Feng Yewu suspects, he will be fine.
