Chapter 202: Is the murderer Li Shao? (ENDS)
Chapter Two Hundred and Two
Is the murderer Li Shao? (ENDS)
"Do you already know who it is?"
Emperor Tianxuan's expression was slightly condensed, and he turned his head to look at Song Li curiously, his eyes touching Song Li's dark turbulent eyes.
Song Li looked at Emperor Tianxuan without squinting, and the expression in his eyes suddenly changed a little uncertain smile, "Yes." She nodded, and said in a brisk tone.
Seeing this, Emperor Tianxuan slowly retracted his gaze, his expression a little melancholy, "You girl really never disappointed me." After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and patted Song Li's shoulder, with a shallow smile on his face, "I am waiting for your good news, and in the same way, I will not let you down." ”
Looking at Emperor Tianxuan, who was meaningful and full of deep meaning in and out of his words, Song Li's eyes were slightly condensed, and he didn't understand what the meaning of his words was.
Emperor Tianxuan took a deep look at her, turned around and walked into the decoration venue.
Song Li didn't follow up, but stood in place and recalled Emperor Tianxuan's words.
What does it mean that it will not disappoint her?
But after thinking about it, she still couldn't think of the meaning of this sentence.
I had no choice but to give up.
After a while, Chu Rong, Chu Tianfeng and Song Huaijin walked towards her.
"Let's go."
Chu Tianfeng took the lead and walked to Song Li's side and spoke.
Looking at Chu Tianfeng, who was full of tiredness between his eyebrows, Song Li nodded lightly, glanced back at the venue and said curiously: "It's all done?" ”
Chu Tianfeng hummed and stopped talking, but lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.
Several people left Longfeng Plaza in groups.
At Chu Tianfeng's suggestion, several people went to the Prince's Mansion together, just in time for dinner.
As soon as a few people sat down, Xue Fuyin hurried over.
"What's the matter, my lord, that you're so out of breath?"
Chu Tianfeng looked at Xue Fuyin, hurriedly poured him a cup of tea, and asked curiously.
Xue Fuyin took a deep breath, took a sip of the teacup, calmed down his somewhat rapid breathing, and then hurriedly said, "There is a clue!" ”
Hearing this, several people were stunned, and they all looked at Xue Fuyin waiting for his next step.
"On the day that His Royal Highness and Song Gongzi came back from disaster relief, didn't the emperor give amnesty to the world, and all those who committed minor crimes were released with full sentences?"
Xue Fuyin's eyes kept flickering, and he said remindedly.
Several people nodded.
It hadn't been long since this happened, and they knew about it.
"That's the problem!" Seeing a few people nodding, Xue Fuyin clapped his hands violently, and then mysteriously leaned in front of a few people and whispered: "That corpse is one of the people who have been released from prison, after inquiries from all sides, it turns out that the person disappeared not long after being released!" ”
"According to the statistics of the government officials during this time, there are still a lot of missing people in the capital, and the lower officials found that those who disappeared have one thing in common!"
Song Li glanced at Chu Rong, as if he felt her gaze, and Chu Rong also turned his head to look at her.
"Are they all lonely and have no family and relatives?"
Song Li's eyes flashed slightly, and he quickly asked.
"Yes!"
Xue Fuyin nodded heavily.
It turned out that their investigation was not in the right direction from the beginning.
No wonder there has been no progress for so long.
But this discovery woke her up.
It is much easier to catch beggars and people without relatives and friends in the city than to get corpses from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
Moreover, she had heard Ye Zilan say that the Soul Dementor Gu had to be above and below the living to be useful.
In this way, it seems that a lot of things are clear.
"Follow this line and continue the investigation!" Chu Tianfeng pondered for a while, and quickly said to Xue Fu Yin, and then seemed to think of something and hurriedly summoned the secret guards beside him, "Pay more attention to the beggars on the street during this time, if there is anything unusual, it will only be me and Lord Xue!" ”
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The black-clothed secret guard responded, and quickly retreated again, doing what Chu Tianfeng wanted.
"Master Xue, let's have dinner together."
After ordering the secret guards, Chu Tianfeng quickly asked people to set up a pair of dishes and chopsticks.
Xue Fuyin didn't refuse.
During the meal, several people kept talking about the case.
For some reason, Song Li had a hunch that something big would happen tomorrow!
After eating, the few people went home.
At noon on the second day, Song Li followed the old lady and Song Yunzhen and his party to leave the Guogong Mansion and go to Longfeng Square.
Longfeng Square was crowded with people, waiting in line to verify their identities, surrounded by palace guards in armor.
Gu Shaoqing led a team of more than 100 people to patrol around.
"Little Ion!"
Seeing Song Li get out of the carriage, Gu Shaoqing didn't know what to say to the team behind him, and then broke away from the team and ran to Song Li.
"What are you?"
Looking at Gu Shaoqing, who was wearing armor and hanging a long sword at his waist, Song Li raised his eyebrows, and asked with a bit of surprise and curiosity in his eyes.
"I was ordered by the emperor's uncle to lead troops to patrol, why did you come now, Yun Qin's envoys have already arrived."
Gu Shaoqing smiled and explained.
Hearing that Yun Qin's envoy had arrived, Song Li couldn't help but be stunned.
Looks like they're a little late.
"When I went out, I was ready for a long time, but I was late, so I went in first!"
She nodded at Gu Shaoqing, glanced at the old lady who had already walked away, and said that she chased after her in a hurry.
Gu Shaoqing looked at Song Li's back, his eyes flickered slightly, he opened his mouth as if to call Song Li, but he still didn't shout, turned around and returned to the team to inspect again.
After layers of inspection, Song Li followed the old lady into the banquet hall.
Not far away, Chu Rong, Gu Shaoqing, and Shen Zhengxiu, who they hadn't seen for a while, were looking up at them.
"What are you doing standing here?"
Song Li quickened his pace and walked in front of several people and asked curiously.
"It's boring to sit inside, come out and see your cousin and Chu Shizi waiting for you here, so just wait."
Shen Zhengxiu shook the folding fan and said with a slow smile.
"I didn't ask you again!"
Song Li glanced at Shen Zhengxiu mercilessly.
Shen Zhengxiu hissed, closed the folding fan and hit Song Li's head, pretending to be angry and said, "How can you talk to your cousin, you are not polite at all!" ”
Song Li covered the place where he had been knocked by Shen Zhengxiu, glared at him viciously, and muttered dissatisfiedly, "How did you become a cousin, you beat people at every turn!" ”
"Chu Shizi ......"
Just as Song Li was speaking, Bai Yuyan walked in front of them with Bai Yuning and his party.
Bai Yuyan lightly blessed her body, her face was like a peach blossom, a pair of bright eyes swept Song Li lightly and fell on Chu Rong, her voice was light and she couldn't hear a trace of emotion, with a shallow smile on her face.
Chu Rong nodded lightly and quickly looked away at Song Li.
Seeing Chu Rong's cold, distant and unapproachable appearance, Bai Yuyan's eyes dimmed, and she quickly lowered her head to cover the darkness in her eyes.
"The Queen Mother has arrived!"
A sharp and melodious voice suddenly came from outside the field.
Song Li quickly walked to Chu Rong's side and stood respectfully waiting for the Queen Mother to come in.
"See the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose!"
The sound of neatness echoed through the square.
"No courtesy, no courtesy."
Wearing a cinnabar red embroidered palace dress, the Queen Mother with a kind and harmonious face waved her hand gently, her face was full of bright smiles, and the wrinkles on her face were tightly piled together.
A few people followed behind the Queen Mother, walking slowly and lonely.
Emperor Tianxuan, who was wearing a dragon robe, and the queen, who was wearing a red phoenix robe with a hundred birds, stood on the stage and looked at the queen who walked in slowly, and said in unison: "See the queen mother!" ”
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, waved the two of them to salute, and walked onto the stage with the support of Mama.
The crowd sat down again.
Song Li soon returned to the women's seat in the Guogong Mansion.
The seats in this room are arranged according to the rank, so the position of the Guogong Mansion is in the front row, and the stage is in front.
The left side of their table is right next to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Song Li deliberately chose a position with her back to Bai Yuyan, and coincidentally, her lower left corner was the Yan'an Hou family.
When you raised your eyes, you could see Zhou Ranran glaring at her and Bai Yuyan with resentful eyes.
In front of her was General Xu's family, seeing that Xu Jiaojiao happily held the wine glass and shook it in mid-air, she smiled and picked up the wine glass and touched it to Xu Jiaojiao, and raised her head to drink the wine in the glass.
Emperor Tianxuan made a speech on the stage, and everyone clapped their hands from time to time.
After Emperor Tianxuan finished his announcement, the envoys of various countries began to come forward to offer birthday gifts.
The first to present were Nanmiao's Ye Zun and Ye Zilan.
The two of them came to the stage and said a word of blessing to Emperor Tianxuan, and then someone walked up with boxes of things.
Su Decai stepped forward to open the box, and suddenly a burst of jewels emanated.
He smiled and took the list of congratulatory gifts handed over by Ye Zun and read aloud: "A pair of high-grade night pearls, a pair of hundred-year-old ginseng, thirty white pearls and ......thirty pink pearls in the East China Sea."
Song Li raised his eyes boredly and looked at the opposite seat, and suddenly found the figures of Li Yong and Li Shao, who were grounded.
It seems that these two people have been lifted from the ground, but the time is about the same.
Suddenly, a gaze shot at her.
She frowned and followed that gaze, and saw a man wearing a dark purple robe, a delicate white jade crown, three-dimensional and handsome facial features, and it was difficult to hide the luxury on his body when he sat casually, looking at her with his eyebrows raised, his eyes were sharp and deep, which made her feel an indescribable sense of oppression.
She frowned slightly, and her heart sank as she watched the man.
The man's lips moved slightly, and a little cold crept up in his deep eyebrows and eyes, although she couldn't hear what the man was saying, but she could guess what the man was saying just by the shape of his mouth: "Meet again." ”
Su Decai finished reading the names of a large list of congratulatory gifts on the list and presented them to Emperor Tianxuan.
Emperor Tianxuan nodded with a smile, waved his big hand, and soon someone carried away a few boxes on the stage.
"Emperor Nan Miao and Prince Ye have a heart, and I am very happy."
Emperor Tianxuan said with satisfaction, Ye Zun and 1 Ye Zilan arched their hands at Emperor Tianxuan, and left the stage again and returned to the banquet to sit down.
Immediately afterwards, I saw the man who was staring at her just now get up and walked to the stage flutteringly.
Seeing this scene, Song Li's eyes immediately narrowed.
