In front of everyone's eyes, Jiang Yingyuan's eyes were dark and bright, and her face was full of brilliance.
"When the sixth brother fell for the first time, the hem of his shirt was particularly wrinkled. The second time he fell, his clothes were flat. ”
"You're right." Jun Qinglan smiled and nodded: "So, does Miss Eight know the reasons for these two different situations?" ”
"This ......." Jiang Ying was stunned: "I don't know." ”
"When people fall suddenly, all the attention is on how to maintain the balance of the body and not let themselves be hurt, and they can't pay attention to the other aspects at all, so they can show the most embarrassed state after falling. Conscious sitting, however, and kneeling are quite different. Before sitting down, they will tidy up their clothes in order to perfect their posture in any state. This behavior is not deliberate, but a natural reaction formed by the habits that have been cultivated over the years, and it is completely subconscious. So....... ”
Jun Qinglan looked at Jiang Yufan: "This caused Jiang Xiaoye to touch the ground twice, but the hem of his shirt was completely different." You can also recall your words and deeds in the past, whether they are the same as Jiang Xiaoye. ”
Everyone nodded after a little groaning, only Long Huan disagreed.
"Only you Northern Xia people will pay attention to some tedious things, and we people in Southern Xinjiang are bold by nature, so we will not be as rigid as you."
"Perhaps." Jun Qinglan said: "But I see that Xiao Gongzi's dress, speech and demeanor are very close to Beixia, I think I should like Beixia culture very much, and naturally I have learned a lot of Beixia etiquette, isn't it?" ”
Long Huan pursed his lips shallowly, and had the intention to object, but he couldn't say half a word.
"Lord Jun is amazing." King Zhaoyang praised: "You only have one side relationship with Xiao Pei, you can see his temperament and hobbies." Xiao Pei does like Northern Xia culture, especially poetry and songs. But, what does this have to do with his death? ”
"It has a lot to do with it."
Jun Qinglan walked towards Xiao Pei and pointed to the hem of his shirt again: "Everyone, please see, although Xiao Gongzi fell to the ground, his clothes were smooth and clean, obviously deliberately sorted out before he fell, just like Fang Cai Jiang Xiaoye." Please think about it, before a person dies suddenly, where does he have the effort to deliberately tidy up his clothes and then fall? Such an act is clearly because he knew that he would fall, because he had developed a habit for many years, subconsciously tidied up his clothes, and then fell to the ground and died. But how could anyone know in advance that they were about to die? ”
Jun Qinglan's question was answered by no one. Predicting death sounds absurd. But what he saw in front of him made it impossible for anyone to find a reason to refute it.
Xiao Pei died, for unknown reasons. But he did tidy up his clothes before he died, what happened?
Everyone shivered, and a little chill arose in their hearts. If the cause is unknown, it is a miracle. Could it be ...... Is this another warning from the gods?
From the disappearance of Princess Yujin, to the disappearance of Rushuang, and now to Xiao Pei's sudden death, the reasons are all unknown. Strange things happened once by accident, twice by coincidence, and now it has happened three times, and it is not long apart, and even if it is a coincidence, ghosts can't believe it.
Seeing that a little anger gradually appeared in the eyes of everyone in southern Xinjiang, everyone approached King Zhaoyang, and their fingers rubbed on the scimitar on their waists without knowing whether they were intentional or unintentional.
"His Royal Highness the King of Zhaoyang." Li Congyao opened his mouth without warning, and in the midst of tension, his voice was as calm and indifferent as ever: "Xiao Gongzi died at your banquet, I think, you should also want to find out the cause of his death." ”
At this time, only by holding on to the Zhaoyang Palace, living together, and dying together, can the safety of everyone in Northern Xia be guaranteed.
King Zhaoyang's face gradually turned pale. He also wants to stay out of it, he just wants to live in peace. However, Xiao Pei died in his mansion, ate something in his mansion before he died, and the cause of death is unknown, no matter what, he can't get out of it.
King Zhaoyang's gaze quickly looked around, although his former colleagues were all passionate, but none of them said half a word for him from beginning to end. Although Xiao Pei was not a particularly noble figure, he was also the most valued son of an important tribal leader in his fiefdom. Just died in vain...... No one can say yes.
King Zhaoyang took a deep breath: "What Lord Duan said is that before the cause of death is known, it is too early to say anything. Since the cause of Xiao Pei's death cannot be found out for the time being, please go back to the house for the time being. ”
"Until the cause of death is known, everyone is suspicious." Li Congyao said lightly: "You'd better stay in the mansion, and don't run around until the suspicion is lifted." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"Damn Beixia people, don't want to pour dirty water on us!"
The people in southern Xinjiang were only filled with righteous indignation, and they all looked at each other angrily. Many people couldn't hold it anymore, so they drew their knives and prepared to step forward.
"Huh." Li Congyao didn't care at all: "When Xiao Pei was here, who did he drink with?" Have you eaten? Who among you has not spoken to him? ”
There was a sudden silence in all directions, and everyone's complexion changed greatly.
Because of the rumors, many people in southern Xinjiang have long regarded Northern Xia as a flood beast and do not associate with them. Even if they are in the same room, they have never crossed paths. Therefore, Northern Xia and Southern Xinjiang were separated from each other in the hall and did not interact with each other.
From beginning to end, Xiao Pei really had no contact with the Northern Xia people.
However, the southern Xinjiang side is completely different.
Because Xiao Pei was a close friend of Long Huan and a popular person in the eyes of King Zhaoyang, his staff naturally wanted to have a relationship with Xiao Pei, and at the beginning of the banquet, many people had contact with him. This is something to think about......
"At a time when the cause of death is unknown, anyone who has been in direct contact with Xiao Pei is suspicious. It could be you, you, or you who killed Xiao Pei! ”
The man's eyes were as condensed as a blade, and he swept over everyone's faces, making people feel cold to the bone.
After a long time, he hooked the corners of his lips: "Who can tell?" ”
"So." Jun Qinglan immediately said: "At this stage, please don't leave the royal court at will, so that you can be summoned at any time." Don't do anything misleading, only when the dog is in a hurry, it will jump off the wall. ”
Jun Qinglan's words finally became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the vigorous anger of the people in southern Xinjiang was extinguished in an instant. Everyone bowed their heads and regretted being here today.
"Everyone, please come back." King Zhaoyang waved his hand weakly: "This king will find out the truth of this case as soon as possible, and he will not let everyone be wronged." Long Huan, personally go and send off your uncles. ”
Seeing that the hustle and bustle in the hall gradually turned into silence, the eldest princess of Miaohua walked towards Li Congyao: "Lord Duan, you are a little ...... to involve everyone in this matter. ”
Li Congyao's complexion was pale: "If people are not for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed." ”
If it weren't for Li Congyao dragging everyone into the water in a few words, there would be a fight at the banquet. Although, he is not afraid to do anything with these southern Xinjiang people. But now when you send people under the fence, it's best to have less trouble.
"The eldest princess doesn't know, who killed Xiao Pei, right?"
The eldest princess of Miaohua took a sharp breath of cold air. She has read countless people in her life, but she never thought that such a young man could have such sharp eyes. His glance was like a knife, piercing people's hearts fiercely, making people feel cold all over their bodies. When you want to take a closer look, he has already opened his eyes, and he is light. Everything is so that people cannot find it.
This man......
"Eldest princess, in extraordinary times, please bear with me. This is also the only expedient measure today. Jun Qinglan said softly: "Xiao Gongzi's death, I'm afraid it's not just Beixia!" ”
The timing and location of Xiao Pei's sudden death are a bit coincidental. In any case, it is difficult for the Zhaoyang Royal Mansion to escape the involvement.
"You are less alarmist, Xiao Pei is my friend. Uncle Xiao treats him like a parent, so that he will not have these dirty thoughts like a villain like you. Long Huan sent the last group of people, and when he came back, he heard Jun Qinglan Fangcai's words, only to feel a wave of anger burning his brain, and he couldn't hold back anymore.
"It's only you, a villain, who wants to drag the Zhaoyang Mansion into the water. Your treacherous plan will not succeed! ”
Jun Qinglan smiled lightly and didn't speak.
The eldest princess of Miaohua frowned and shouted: "Long Huan, shut up!" ”
The five fingers are long and short, and a family can still give birth to all kinds of different thoughts, not to mention so many guests at today's banquet? The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, this is an eternal truth. The Zhaoyang Mansion did not have anything to do with Xiao Pei's death.
However, the truth of everyone's mouths of gold, Princess Miaohua never dared to underestimate it.
"Lord Jun, how should we cooperate? Just say it. ”
Jun Qinglan smiled: "At this time, the only way to solve things is to share the same hatred." ”
Jun Qinglan looked at Xiao Pei and said in a deep voice: "Before the cause of Xiao Gongzi's death is unknown, he cannot be buried in the ground, nor can he be returned to his family. also asked the eldest princess to find a proper place to store Xiao Gongzi's body, and not let his body rot. When the truth is revealed, let's go back to the ground. ”
The eldest princess of Miaohua nodded: "I'll try to find a way." ”
"If there is an ice cellar, you can put Xiao Gongzi's body in the ice cellar, which can slow down the speed of decomposition of the corpse."
The eldest princess of Miaohua gradually frowned: "The weather in southern Xinjiang is hot, and ice cubes are rare. Not all homes have built ice cellars. In addition to the palace of the royal brother, only the palace has built an ice cellar. ”
Jun Qinglan also frowned, and if she said this, Xiao Pei's body would be sent to the palace. In today's Southern Xinjiang Palace, there are Northern Xia envoys. Moving Xiao Pei into the palace was nothing in the past, but in today's situation......
Jun Qinglan always faintly felt that it didn't seem appropriate.
"Don't be embarrassed." The eldest princess Miaohua said: "If you are afraid of falling into the truth, I can send two people from the Zhaoyang Royal Mansion to guard Xiao Pei's body." ”
"That couldn't be better." Jun Qinglan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then please also ask the eldest princess to suffer, please ask the guards of your house to transport Xiao Gongzi like an ice cellar. In this process, the Northern Xia side will not be involved. ”
The eldest princess of Miaohua ordered someone to bury Xiao Pei with the above coffin, and personally selected a few safe people to escort Xiao Pei's coffin into the palace.
From beginning to end, everyone in Northern Xia never touched Xiao Pei for half a minute.
Jun Qinglan thinks that such a disposal process is foolproof and absolutely appropriate.
But who would have thought that the calamity would come mercilessly from the moment Xiao Pei entered the palace!
