The dawn of the morning is slightly revealed, the palace is already busy, the temples that have been spotless still need to be cleaned, all the royal utensils still need to be inspected again according to the list, all the etiquette regulations, imitation is the example of Annam, this is not that the political axe and Liu Chengfeng do not want to innovate, but there is no need to innovate this kind of thing, it is nothing more than a passing scene, representing the identity of the second only Son of Heaven will reign in this small country on the southwest border.
Outside the palace, the guards wearing red ceremonial armor stood solemnly, lined up, and these powerful wrestlers were all tigers and bears, and even their height was similar.
In the apse, several maids are waiting for Liu Chengfeng to dress, and it is the habit of the nobles in ancient times to stretch out their hands, which is not only to show the dignity of the identity, but also because the clothes of the nobles are always very complicated.
It is really difficult for a person to be alone on the boat and look messy and show his majesty.
Facing Liu Chengfeng was a large bronze mirror, Liu Chengfeng just looked at the bronze mirror, waiting for the golden crown to be worn on the top, and waiting for the outermost layer of the big red python robe to flutter on his coat.
The jade belt on the body, the whole person looks more sassy, Liu Chengfeng looked at himself in this bronze mirror, in fact, he didn't think it was too funny, this shirt was really a bit like a costume in later generations, at that time, in the eyes of ordinary people, most of the people wearing this shirt had the elements of performance, but only Liu Chengfeng knew that his robe and skirt were highlighted and represented in today's time.
The expectations of tens of millions of people are maintained, the honor and disgrace of tens of millions of people are maintained, and the crown and uniform represent a lofty status and the power of life and death.
The man in the bronze mirror is no longer a down-and-out scholar, nor a cruel military attachΓ©, he is a king, he can lead people to prosperity, he can lead them into poverty, he can make them miserable, but he can also bring them happiness.
"Your Highness, the officials have not yet entered the palace, do you have some breakfast now?" It was a female official who spoke, although the female official hung her head, but there was not much expression on her beautiful face, and continued: "Once you want to make a big gift, I am afraid that within three or four hours, you don't want to eat, so Your Highness should eat more breakfast to fill your stomach......"
"Really?" Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly, he knew that there would be an unusually sumptuous breakfast this morning, and although he didn't feel hungry now, it was obvious that this move was to prevent trouble.
"Bring it up, and the Lone King will dine here." Liu Chengfeng nodded his head.
The female officer retreated.

Outside the palace, a carriage stopped here steadily, from here down a businessman-like person, he stepped out of the carriage, and then stepped into the palace, the guards outside the palace showed vigilance, one of them pressed the handle of the knife, shouted: "What kind of person, so bold, dare to trespass into the palace!" β
Shang Jia didn't seem scared, just smiled, and then bowed deeply to the chief of the guards who rushed over, and said: "Wang Chuan, the owner of the villain Yongli Commercial Bank, has come to ask to see His Royal Highness the King of Chu. β
Several guards couldn't help but look at each other, since they were on duty, they had never seen such an unpresumptuous person, how could the prince say that he could see it, is this person crazy?
However, this old man who called himself Wang Chuan not only did not show fear, let alone his madness, after a respectful and respectful salute, he immediately took his hands and raised his hands and feet, with a somewhat awe-inspiring temperament.
"What nonsense." One of the guards pressed the knife tighter: "Don't look at what it is today, go away quickly." β
Wang Chuan still only smiled faintly and said, "What if the old man wants to tell you that the old man is here to tell the real culprit of the last merchant ship robbery?" It's better to bother you to report it. β
"Nonsense, the real murderer has been taken, where is there any real murderer...... but when it comes to the words, this person is stopped, Wang Chuan is talking about the real murderer, does he mean to say that this time he took the wrong person?
Liu Chengfeng has been paying attention to this case, and the whole case is done by himself, which everyone knows, and now this businessman has brought such shocking news, which is a little embarrassing.
The captain of the guard pondered for a moment, and then said, "You wait here, I'll go in and make an announcement." β
He pressed the knife and turned into the palace.
Wang Chuan's face was filled with a smile that he was determined to win.
β¦β¦
"Wang Chuan?"
Liu Chengfeng, who was sitting and eating, frowned, he picked up the tablecloth on the table and wiped his mouth, swallowed the food chewed in his mouth, and then took a sip of tea and said, "What is the matter with this person entering the palace to ask to see?" β
"Back to His Highness, he said...... He said that the case of the plundering of the cargo ship of Wynn Comptoir ......"
Liu Chengfeng's face didn't show much surprise, he smiled faintly, and said: "It seems that it is really the same as this king expected, this person is finally here, it's good to come, this king is just wanting to see him, let him enter the palace." β
After that, Liu Chengfeng put down the tea cup in his hand, and with a somewhat ambitious smile, he couldn't help but whisper: "I've waited for you for so long, and you should have thrown yourself into the net when you calculate the time." Come on, take all these breakfasts down. β
It didn't take long for Wang Chuan to be led in, at this time, Wang Chuan was completely different from the timid owner of Wynn Firm at the time of the last interrogation, he glanced at Liu Chengfeng deeply, and then bent down and said: "The villain has seen His Highness." β
Liu Chengfeng looked at him and said indifferently: "Do you know what it is today?" Why enter the palace? β
Wang Chuan Zhengse said: "The villain entered the palace to explain three things to His Royal Highness. β
"Three things?" Liu Chengfeng couldn't help laughing and said: "This is interesting, when the king interrogated you, you couldn't say anything, but today, you have to say three things in one breath?" β
Wang Chuan was speechless for a while, but soon returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Your Highness makes fun of it." β
"It's not a joke." Liu Chengfeng set up his legs and pressed his elbows on the dining table next to him, the reason why he decided to meet this person in the side hall of this meal was to tell Wang Chuan that he did not take this person in his eyes.
After putting on a good stance, Liu Chengfeng said coldly: "Then let this king guess, there is one thing related to the robbery of your trading house, right?" In fact, you don't have to go into the palace to report this matter, this king has already found out the real murderer. β
"Oh?" Wang Chuan smiled and said, "Really? Could it be that His Highness really thinks that the murderer is Zhao Qiu? β
"It's not." Liu Chengfeng looked at him coldly and said: "The Lone King has long known that the murderer is not Zhao Qiu, the reason why Zhao Qiu is detained is just to lure the snake out of the hole, the real murderer is you, it is Mingjiao!" β
Originally, Wang Chuan had the courage to enter the palace to tell the truth about everything, but now when Liu Chengfeng directly answered this question, Wang Chuan was stunned, he looked at Liu Chengfeng in disbelief and said, "How can Your Highness see it." β
Liu Chengfeng sneered and said: "How can you see, since you want to listen, then the lonely king might as well start with you, at the beginning, the steward did mislead the king, in fact, this steward is your person at all, the reason why he said this is that in order to mislead the lone king, you want to divert the lone king's attention to Zhao Qiu of Shengchang Commercial Bank, Zhao Qiu, this person is actually arranged by you, you have long known that this person is the remnant of King Ning, so you have planned to splash this dirty water on him." As long as all kinds of suspicions are on Zhao Qiu, then the government will inevitably punish Zhao Qiu, and once the punishment is moved, he will sooner or later be unable to endure it, and shake off his relationship with King Ning, since it is related to King Ning, then this corporal punishment is even more inevitable, he must have burned all his thoughts at that time, since he is already certain to die, he is already a traitor, so the surname Suo admits that the robbery of the merchant ships is related to him, and he can also avoid some flesh and skin suffering, so the surname Suo bears all the involvement and gives himself a good time. You guys...... It's very smart, and the game has been laid out at the beginning, if it weren't for Queen Lone's clues, she would have been deceived by you? β
Wang Chuan's face changed greatly, and he said, "How did Your Highness see the clues?" β
Liu Chengfeng pursed his lips indifferently and said, "Do you remember the young owner Zhao Qing who died?" Zhao Qing was not killed by Zhao Qiu at all, but you. You killed Zhao Qing, and then instigated a guy from the shopping mall to suddenly disappear, in fact, you want to blame Zhao Qiu, so that the Lone King thinks that this matter was instigated by Zhao Qiu, so that the Lone King makes up his mind to torture Zhao Qiu, in fact, this is indeed a good calculation, but the Lone King found out the suspicion, although Zhao Qing died on the couch at that time, but the body clearly had traces of being moved, judging from his death posture, he should not have slept when he was assassinated. A man who has not slept is assassinated by an assassin, how can he be assassinated? β
Liu Chengfeng said playfully: "Then Zhao Qing's fatal injury is in the chest, and he was killed with a knife, Wang Dongjia, does this still need the lonely king to continue?" Think about it, in the house at that time, Zhao Qing didn't sleep, no matter how clever an assassin was, how could he stab that Zhao Qing to death in front of him without scuffling? So at that time, King Gu already suspected that the one who killed Zhao Qing was definitely not an ordinary assassin, this so-called assassin should be the person with whom Zhao Qing had the most irreversible relationship, only in this case, the assassin could kill this Zhao Qing under Zhao Qing's complete unpreparedness, if this assassin was sent by Zhao Qing, think about it, a vicious guy appeared in the bedroom of Shaodong's house, and Shaodong's family was not wary of him at all, doesn't it feel strange? At that time, King Gu already knew that this assassin was definitely not instigated by Zhao Qiu, since it was not instigated by Zhao Qiu, then who sent someone to assassinate him? β
Liu Chengfeng looked at Wang Chuan with a smile, and said: "Later, this king remembered a person, Wang Dongjia once said that in order to rob the business of Shengchang Commercial Bank, you gave Zhao Qing many benefits, including a popular girl called Lily, saying that in order to win over Zhao Qing, you often go in and out of the Qinglou restaurant, and the lonely king is thinking, this lily, maybe some famous, so I ordered someone to investigate, and sure enough, I found that this lily was on the eve of the assassination, and went to the house with the Shaodong family to fall in love with Zhao Qing. The next morning, Zhao Qing went out, but Lily stayed in the room, at that time the people in the workshop had a delusion, thinking that Lily had gone out with the young owner, and waited until Zhao Qing returned to his bedroom from midnight, in fact, this bedroom was not only Zhao Qing, but also this Lily girl, over there, the lonely king also asked, the Lily girl was indeed accompanied by Zhao Qing before the crime, and never came back. In this way, things are clear, this lily said that he went to the bedroom with Zhao Qing to love, and the next morning he must have pretended to have a headache and stayed in the room quietly, Zhao Qing didn't care, but he was a gentleman, for fear that his deeds would be known by his father, so he was naturally sneaky, so he didn't mention to anyone that there was a girl left in the room, he went out as usual, everyone thought that the lily girl had gone with Zhao Qing, but when he came back that night, this lily suddenly stabbed Zhao Qing to death, which can be explained, Why could someone sneak into Zhao Qing's house and kill Zhao Qing when he was completely defenseless. β
Wang Chuan's face has changed greatly, although he came here to uncover the mystery, but this does not mean that he is willing to listen to Liu Chengfeng to uncover the mystery, not only did he lose the initiative, but also ...... And...... Since Liu Chengfeng has already seen who the real murderer is, but he still deliberately made a move on Zhao Qiu, it is clear that he does not want to startle the snake, but wants to put a long line to catch a big fish, so as to catch all his people, so to speak...... It was not Liu Chengfeng who was really calculated, but himself.
This King of Chu will definitely have a future.
Wang Chuan forced his composure at this time and sneered: "That's all Your Highness knows? β
Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly, and said: "Of course it's not just these, just these alone, but there are still many questions that have not been solved, since the goods were robbed by yourself, and Zhao Qing was also killed by you, so why did you want to rob your own goods, and would rather risk affecting your reputation, and lay all kinds of means to frame Zhao Qiu?" This question is what the lonely king hesitates the most. β
