Chapter Ninety-Seven: Officer

In the camp of the envoys of the Great Cadres, it was now solemn, the guard of honor was strictly orderly, and the atmosphere in the big tent in the center was extremely solemn, and several officials of the Ministry of Rites headed by Li Wenmin and Master Li were all facing like frost, looking at the thin corpse of the king with a white cloth next to him. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAs one of the deputy envoys of the envoy corps, he was actually killed by the military immortal master in the envoy corps, which is definitely the most important of the big things.

Mu Qinyi followed Liu Xuanying into the account, feeling the eyes cast around her, and her face was also pale. Although these adults are just chickens and dogs in her eyes, Liu Xuanying is here, and she doesn't dare to make a mistake at all. She also knew what it meant to murder a fellow Confucian colleague in the eyes of these adults who valued face and decency, and as long as she was convicted, it was very likely that she would be corrected on the spot.

"Immortal Master Mu. What Lord Wang's two personal soldiers said was that you had a private meeting with Lord Wang in the residence he had last night, can there be such a thing?"

Lord Li's face was pale, and he asked in a deep voice, exuding a majesty and momentum that was rarely seen on weekdays.

"Yes. Mu Qinyi didn't bother to defend and deny it. Although she now has to succumb to this situation, it doesn't mean that she really cares about these people.

According to the inspection of General Chen and Daochang Liu, Lord Wang was choked by the tea and pastries in his mouth and couldn't cough up, and he was suffocated to death. He is not an old man who needs help for his diet, feces and urine, how can he be choked to death by tea? This is quite similar to the Taoist methods of your Five Elements Sect. The officer asked you, "Did you do this?"

Mu Qinyi glanced at the corpse with a white cloth next to him with a complicated expression. From the bottom of her heart, she also felt a little guilty, although this royal lord Bo was shallow and self-righteous, but he was not guilty of any crime, let alone to the point of damning. Using the Dao method to hurt the lives of those who have no power to bind the chicken, this is also a taboo in the rivers and lakes of Shenzhou, not to mention that this is a shot against a court official in a foreign land thousands of miles away. She nodded, "Yes." It's just that I didn't want to harm Lord Wang's life, I just wanted to make a fool of him. I just let the tea roll in his mouth and cough and left on his own, but I didn't expect him to eat the pastry in his mouth. ”

"Rhetorical quibbles! A wild woman in a mountain village who has no distinction between superior and inferior! What kind of identity are you? How dare you say that you want to play tricks on the imperial court? How can you really rely on your obscene and wild temple ghost and god skills to ignore the court etiquette and ignore the saints and humane system? How can this be true, how can this be true!"

Before Master Li could speak, another old man on the side took the lead in roaring. It was another deputy envoy of the envoy group, Master Su, this old man who was said to be from a poor background and had survived for decades to reach the eighth-rank official rank of Honglu Temple purely by seniority, was a head taller than Lord Li, and valued etiquette and morality the most among several adults. I was tossed half dead by the wind and waves at sea before, and when I arrived on the Euro continent and was provoked by the conflict when I landed on the shore, I didn't completely ease up until these days, and I had to be supported when I walked, but at this time, my hair was all red and my face was red, as if I might roll my eyes and fall to the ground at any time.

General Chen, who was standing on the side, also had an ugly face, and his sense of identification with Mu Qinyi must have surpassed that of the king lord Bo, but it was his duty to protect the safety of these lords of the Ministry of Rites, and now it was difficult to escape the blame no matter what.

Mu Qinyi bit his lip without saying a word, the rest of his lips were pale, only the bit that was bitten slowly leached out of the blood. In the face of these people, she didn't bother to defend at all, and the defense was definitely useless, and the facts were in front of her, and the mentality and determination of these adults would not change in the slightest.

If she was in prison for such a reason, or even fell to the ground, she couldn't accept it anyway. But Liu Xuanying was next to her, although she didn't seem to care much about her, Mu Qinyi was very sure, even if she was making considerable progress on the path of the Divine Dao now, she still didn't have the slightest power to parry in front of this True Martial Sect elder.

The only chance of life seems to be whether Liu Xuanying is willing to let her go. Mu Qinyi glanced at Liu Xuanying next to him, and could only see that his face was unswerving, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he seemed to be a little unbearable. The feeling of life and death in the hands of others is really unbearable. Compared to the vastness and sense of belonging that I felt on the Shinto Path, the current dilemma and helplessness is like the despair and anger of gazing at the rainbow in the sky that is about to drown in a dung pit.

If she could, she would trade everything for a chance to get out of the dunghole in front of her.

"This lady, impulsiveness is the devil. Haven't you heard of that?"

At the gate of the envoy camp, the sword of benevolence, who had been stopped, looked at Master Motri, who was communicating with the magic net next to her, and stretched out his hand to stop her.

"No, I've never heard of that. How can impulsiveness be the devil? It's just a lack of brain cells and an imbecile state that can't control one's emotions. How can it be compared to a treacherous and cunning terrifying existence like the devil?" the female mage shook her head and stared at him. "And what do you think I'm trying to do? blow these wretching wretched creatures to shreds with fireballs, or make them wail in acid and reflect on their discriminatory eyes? A little charm of humans, and then stealth illusion or something, are all good solutions. ”

"Well, Master Motri, who has so many brain cells that it's about to overflow. I warn you that your poor arcane can't even hide my perceptions. It's just a matter of seducing these fools, if you want to use stealth techniques or something to walk in, you will be discovered and arrested by that Master Liu in half a second. ”

"What kind of perception of his can be so exaggerated? I plan to use the 'Trace Advanced Invisibility' of the Four Rings, which can not only eliminate the body shape, but also reduce the smell and sound to the extreme, and most demonic beasts will not be able to detect it. ”

If you don't believe me, you can try it. We tortured female spies and female assassins in the Western Continent or something, all stripped naked and let her ride on a thick hemp rope stained with iron filings and steel wires to drag back and forth, which is also an inseparable part of our traditional culture that has been inherited for tens of thousands of years, I don't think you want to understand it. In short, when Mr. Liu and Master Liu were in this envoy camp, the only way to enter safely was to follow the normal process in a dignified manner. After throwing a word to the female mage next to him, the Sword of Benevolence turned to the soldiers guarding the door and said in Shenzhou official dialect: "Brothers, I won't talk nonsense. In the past, those local officials followed us in and out, and you never paid attention to it, why today I want to bring a European lady in to see and see, I can't do it? Is it deliberately embarrassing me and embarrassing me? Even if Lord Li and Lord Wang have any opinions, naturally the old man of the Zhang family will share them, and you can't blame them. ”

"Hi Mr. Invincible, it's really not what you say. It's really a little different today......" The chief looked at the female mage next to him, and then turned to face the sword of benevolence, with both envy and admiration on his face. Of course, they also know that this invincible Mr. is not only a friend of Mr. Feng but also a guest of the Zhang family, with an extraordinary status, and now he also carries an Aunt Ouluo with him, which is even more capable. "I'll tell you the truth, something big happened in our envoy group, and Lord Li gave a death order, and people who are not in the envoy group must not enter, in case the news leaks out. ”

"Oh, what's the big deal? ”

"This ......," Shi Chang looked embarrassed. Although Lord Li also issued a death order not to secretly spread the matter, the envoy group was so large, and the wind was blowing up and down, and almost everyone knew about it when Lord Wang's two personal soldiers stumbled in. This kind of face-to-face matter is taken very seriously by several adults, and chewing the root of the tongue behind the back may cause a big disaster.

"If you don't say it, won't I know? It's a big deal if I ask the old man of the Zhang family, and you should save me time." Invite a few brothers to drink wine and eat meat for a few gold coins, you are not used to drinking that Euroma urine, and the barbecue in the tavern over there is always good. ”

The Sword of Benevolence casually threw a few gold coins over. The eyes of Shi Chang and several soldiers suddenly lit up, they also knew the value of these euro currencies, and one gold coin was enough to eat and drink casually. Shi Chang thought about it, and it was true that it made no difference whether he said it or not, so he held the gold coin firmly in his hand, glanced at the female mage next to him, lowered his voice and said: "This morning, Lord Wang's two personal soldiers ran over in a panic, crying that it was their Lord and Fairy Mu who had a private meeting in the mansion outside last night, and when they went to see it this morning, they found that Lord Wang had died inside. ”

"Oh, what a situation that is full of imagination. Is Lord Wang lying naked on the bed, skinny, and a mess under him?"

“...... I don't know. Lord Li was shocked when he heard the news, and ordered General Chen and Daochang Liu to check on him, and then he was furious, and ordered Daochang Liu to arrest Fairy Mu back, and at the same time ordered us to seal off the camp, and no outsiders were allowed to enter or leave, and no news was allowed to be leaked. ”

"So it's just such a trivial matter?" the Sword of Benevolence thought for a moment and nodded. "So am I an outsider?"

“...... Mr. Invincible is a guest of the Zhang family, and he is actually not an outsider..."Shi Chang is not inflexible. The patriarch of the Zhang family is being treated as a guest by Lord Li, and he must also be very polite to this invincible gentleman, whether he is a real outsider or not, he can't say it.

"This Oro Mage was rescued by me and Mr. Feng of your envoy in the swamp a few days ago, and I am about to make a personal promise in return. If you don't say it well, you will be Mr. Feng's wife in the future, so of course it can't be regarded as an outsider. If you Lord Li blame, let him go to Mr. Feng. The Sword of Benevolence waved at Master Motri. "Let's go. ”

"That's what you mean by going through the normal process in a dignified manner, bribing these soldiers with a few gold coins?" The female mage followed the Sword of Benevolence inside, and the soldiers behind hesitated, but did not stop after all.

"How bribes, don't judge our actions with your narrow eyes. That's just the use of some equivalent compensation to increase our bonds, friendships and feelings, a normal interpersonal interaction, and a fine tradition in our tens of thousands of years of history and culture. Also, I was inquiring about what was going on, and it seems that Ms. Mu caused a lot of trouble, she seems to have slaughtered a bureaucrat of the envoys. This is in our moral system, even if a commoner killed an imperial nobleman, he may be on trial now, and it is not unreasonable to be sentenced to death. ”

"What?" said Mage Motri, shocked. "Really? How is that possible?"

"What is impossible. We have the most amazing bureaucracy in the universe, capable of creating incredible miracles. Do you want to see Ms. Mu one last time now?"

"Of course I'm going to do whatever it takes to save her. The mage looked at the Sword of Benevolence with the eyes of a monster. "And aren't you companions? Didn't you say that you were going to keep these people from doing stupid things for Mr. Wind?"

"Of course we are not companions. Don't be so shallow as you think that as long as you are beautiful and of the opposite sex who act together, you will be identified by me as a companion. And what they're doing now isn't stupid... Even if it's a stupid thing, it doesn't always work. The sword of benevolence tilted its head and pointed to the big tent not far away. "Let's go, instead of standing here and worrying about it, let's go and eavesdrop. ”

"Wait a minute, didn't you just say that Master Liu's sensing ability is very high?

"Definitely find out, but I think he probably won't mind. The Sword of Benevolence smiled. "Maybe he's hoping we're going. ”

In the big tent, everything seems to be a foregone conclusion. Everyone was as heavy as water, and the eyes of Master Su, who was the most angry, were already full of murderous energy, and he waved his sleeves at Mu Qinyi and said, "There is no need to interrogate anything." In this kind of crime, what can a shameless fanatic who plots to kill an official of the imperial court be punished in addition to the canonical punishment of the Ming Dynasty? Lord Li, please make a quick decision. ”

Mu Qinyi's face turned pale and sneered sadly. She glanced at Liu Xuanying not far away, but Liu Xuanying didn't seem to see it.

But at this time, the supreme commander of the envoy delegation gave a gift to Li Wenmin, but Master Li spoke, and his voice was low and steady: "Su Lao, don't worry, there are still some things that need to be asked clearly." Fairy Mu, according to the two personal soldiers who asked Lord Wang, they called you to Lord Wang's residence around Shen Shi, right?"

"Yes. Mu Qinyi was a little surprised that Li Daen, who had always been incompetent, still had the heart to ask, but he still answered truthfully.

But the king stayed in the camp to discuss matters with his own officials, and did not leave the camp until about the end of the day. You've been waiting for him there for so long, do you know what Lord Wang is calling you for?"

"I didn't know it at the time. It's just that when I have nothing to do, I just sit there and practice the exercises, and I wait until about an hour. Originally, I was about to leave, but Wang Dacai arrived. Mu Qinyi suddenly felt something from Master Li's words, she didn't move, and just began to answer honestly.

"Then what is the matter with him looking for you? Do you need to discuss secretly in the house outside in the middle of the night?"

"Lord Wang wants to take me as a concubine. He said that Master Li was negligent in his practice, and that with me and his internal and external support from now on, it would not make it difficult for me to do it. The envoys can also thrive, and I think what he said is ridiculous, and he also said that I don't know how to lift. I toyed with him, choked on the tea, and then turned and left......"

"Nonsense! Nonsense! Palm! Palm!" Master Su was flushed and thundered. If it weren't for his old age, it looked like he would have rushed over and done it himself.

"I swear by my teacher, and what I say is true. If I have half a lie, I will not die well. Mu Qinyi calmed down completely at this time.

"That's enough! It's enough to commit murder and murder, and to dare to slander the innocence of the scholar like this, it's just innocent! Drag it down and behead it, drag it down and cut it down!"

Master Su pointed at Mu Qinyi, and his whole body was trembling. But Master Li Wenmin on the side was unmoved, his face was calm, and at this time, others also saw that something was wrong, of course, no one stepped forward without a long eye.

"King Zhang, come here. Lord Li turned his head to look at the two people standing next to Lord Wang's corpse, which were the two personal soldiers of Lord Wang. "Whatever the officer asks you now, you must answer truthfully. This officer's eyes are like torches, and he has already seen everything in his eyes, and if the two of you have a word of nonsense, you will know the power of the criminal law in the army. But as long as you answer honestly, I will guarantee that you will be fine. ”

The two pro-soldiers walked over tremblingly, and they could only nod their heads in the face of Lord Li's words. Like them, the close attendants of Shangguan's side, of course, have a much higher status than ordinary soldiers on weekdays, and they are arrogant and arrogant, but once the people who are attached to them die and don't even arrange a way back for them, the end is extremely miserable. At this time, only by honestly following the instructions, or figuring out the intentions, is the only way to preserve oneself.

"This official asks you, do you know what your family is doing when you ask Immortal Master Mu to go?"

"This... The villain really didn't know it before..."

"Then why did you two send Lord Wang to the left and not stay close to the left? Don't you know that this is an overseas foreign country, and there is danger at any time? Also, according to the inspection of Daochang Liu and General Chen, Lord Wang was suffocated to death around yesterday, but you two only came to report early this morning, why is this?" Master Li Wenmin's voice was fierce, his eyes were shining, and the majesty of the superior was aggressive, as if he really understood everything like a candle, and he was completely different from when facing the Euro people.

"This... It was Lord Wang who told us not to stay near the left, so that we could wait until the morning to go. The king seemed to be in high spirits, and said that we should get him more food and drink when we went in the morning, and he said that he would have to work hard in the evening. ”

"You two... You two... How does the royal lord Bo treat you during the day, and now you actually slander him......" Lord Su was so angry that he couldn't speak, just pointed to the two pro-soldiers and trembled all over.

"The villain doesn't dare, what the villain said is true. The two soldiers immediately knelt down and wailed.

"Enough. Master Li sneered and waved his hand, as if everything was under control. "General Chen has already found out the solid and astringent powder in Lord Wang, and the ointment of a hundred battles. There were also some boudoir men's and women's utensils hidden in that room...... I actually brought these things here from Shenzhou. Did he think that the imperial court diplomatic relations were for him to come here to look for flowers and ask willows?"

"Fairy Mu, this official asks you again, did Lord Wang force you? Not by force, but by other verbal means or something?" Lord Li turned to look at Mu Qinyi again. The light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Mu Qinyi had already begun to feel that this thing was getting more and more ridiculous and funny, but now was definitely not the time to laugh, so she could only answer expressionlessly: "Mingyan's coercion and coercion are not, it's just that Lord Wang said that I want to think about it carefully, don't make mistakes." I thought he was too funny, so I thought about making a fool of him and choking on him. I didn't expect him to have food in his mouth, and I thought that his guards were close to him, and they would naturally come to his aid when they heard the voice, so I turned around and left without care......"

"What a scholar, what a great master of the Honglu Temple, and what a prince who is familiar with moral articles!" Master Li Wenmin's voice was sonorous and powerful, and it seemed to be full of anger and a little indescribable excitement. "Now it seems that the matter has come to light. After traveling thousands of miles to a foreign country, he did not think about how to serve the court, did not think about cultivating his own moral articles, but relied on his official position to coerce and humiliate the immortal masters in the army, and his virtue was corrupted like this, it was simply a pity to die! Mu Xianzi's move was just an unintentional mistake, although it hurt the life of the prince, but the official did not seem to be at fault. ”

"It's... Master Li, how can you be so indistinguishable from right and wrong?"

"Master Su's words are wrong. In the eyes of this official, this is the real right and wrong. Master Li said indifferently. "We were all deceived by this person before, if such a rotten and filthy person is allowed to continue, if one day he will lose the face of my great court and saint in front of those European barbarians, then it will really be impossible to escape the blame!"

"This ......" Master Su's old brain was completely ossified, and he was speechless.

"Hahahaha......" The Sword of Benevolence strode closer to the tent amid laughter. "Master Li is worthy of being a great cadre who is familiar with the articles of sages, has profound moral cultivation, and is deeply trusted by the emperor. This assertion is really insightful, and the analysis is also penetrating, which really opened the eyes of me, the overseas rough people, knowing that the morality of the Celestial Empire is profound, and I almost can't help but kneel down and write a word. ”

Master Li was originally stunned and frowned, very dissatisfied with the trespass of the Sword of Benevolence, and only after hearing these words did he turn his anger into joy and smile. However, when she saw the blonde female mage outside the tent, her brows furrowed again: "Mr. Invincible, you are just one person, why did you bring this Euroian here?

"Haha, Master Li doesn't know. This Euro woman was rescued from the swamp outside with us some time ago, and her identity is the supervisor of the former empire of this European continent, and she is much higher than these Tusi Haoqiang on the West Coast. She was deeply grateful to Miss Mu for saving her life, and she also talked to Miss Mu very well, but she was not convinced by Wang Hua's barbarian thoughts. I heard that Miss Mu had committed a crime and was arrested, and she cried and begged me to bring him to intercede with the adults. I told him a long time ago that the envoys, Master Li, have a discerning eye, never let go of a bad person, and never wronged a good person. This woman still doesn't believe it, and only then does she know what a mirror is, just and strict!"

"Oh?" Lord Li's eyes lit up, and it was obvious that these words were extremely appealing to him. It's a pity that the Euro woman over there didn't come forward to bow down, but just walked to Mu Qinyi's side and asked in a low voice.

"Ms. Mu, how is it? I don't understand what they say. The Sword of Benevolence guy didn't explain it to me, just said you should be fine. ”

"It's nothing, it's just a farce of a bureaucratic battle. Mu Qinyi shook his head, his expression was indescribably tired and tired, but something in the depths of his eyes became more and more determined. Even though the interpreters were not there, and no one else in the envoys here understood the Eurotic language, she lowered her voice and said as softly as she could, "Master Motri, could you please do me a favor? ”

"Of course, Ms. Mu, you have everything you can say to me. The blonde mage's eyes flashed, and she was bright.

"Daoist Liu!" On the other side, Master Li Wenmin suddenly raised his voice and drank. Seeing that everyone's attention and eyes were attracted to him, he lowered his face, looked at Liu Xuanying and said, "Taking advantage of today's opportunity, this official still has something to say to you." Did you know that you made a big mistake not long ago?"

"Huh?" Liu Xuanying, who had been standing with his brows furrowed slightly, not surprised, not angry, not happy, and Liu Xuanying, who had a breath of dust, was finally stunned. "This ...... I don't know how to do it..."
