Chapter 202: Liu Yan is killed

In the early morning, the spring light is warm. Luo Feng and Qi Yan had breakfast, and then went to the crown making workshop with Gu Xiaodong.

It is a royal handicraft workshop. Four masters who are proficient in the royal crown, crown, phoenix crown and pearl hairpin hand ornaments and other fine carvings are located in the four halls of the fangzhong. And the crown worn by the new emperor on the throne came from the hand of Master Liu Yan.

When Luo Feng and the three of them walked into Liu Yan's Caiyun Residence, they were immediately attracted by the exquisite crowns, headdresses, hand ornaments and other objects displayed inside, and they were even more impressed by his superb skills.

Liu Yan is easy-going. He listened to Luo Feng's statement, and then said: "The crown worn by the new emperor is definitely not from my hand, I am afraid it is a fake. Because the ring pillar of the true crown will not be ejected by external forces. Those that can release hidden weapons must have a mechanism setting. ”

Luo Feng felt that what Liu Yan said was quite reasonable. Then he asked Liu Yan, "Who else but you can make a beautiful crown?" ”

Liu Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "The other three people in the courtyard can all do it." ”

Luo Feng couldn't help frowning when he heard Liu Yan's words. This Liu Yan must be at odds with the three in the courtyard, otherwise it would be impossible to say this!

The crown mechanism for the coronation of the new emperor must have been the work of one of the four members of the court. Liu Yan made a real one, and another made a fake one. The two crowns were completed almost at the same time. But even if it's a design drawing, then it can't be exactly the same!

Right! Drawing! Luo Feng thought about this, so he asked Liu Yan for the design of the crown.

Liu Yan took out a scroll from the drawer of the cabinet behind him and handed it to Luo Feng.

Luo Feng unfolded it and looked at it, and it was the same as the crown he saw. In other words, this drawing was stolen!

"Who drew the blueprints?" Luo Feng couldn't help but ask.

"Who else will there be?" Liu Yan picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Can they get into your house?" Luo Feng looked at Liu Yan's eyes.

There was not the slightest hint of cunning and panic in Liu Yan's eyes. He put down the teacup and said frankly: "The one in the West Courtyard doesn't know martial arts, he can't get in!" But it doesn't mean that others can't get in! Instead of wasting your efforts on me, you should bring me the crown and see it at me!" ”

"Good!" Luo Feng got up and walked out of Liu Yan's house.

"You've figured it out!" Gu Xiaodong was anxious.

Luo Feng quietly ordered Qi Yan to secretly stay in Caiyunju to see if anyone came to murder Liu Yan. Then, he and Gu Xiaodong went to the palace.

The queen of heaven listened to Luo Feng's report on the investigation of the case and was silent. This crown is something that the emperor must wear every day, it is a symbol of imperial power, how can it be said that you can take it away?

In the end, the queen of heaven asked Luo Feng to quietly bring Liu Yan into the palace tomorrow, and then she summoned the emperor to come and check again.

Luo Feng and Gu Xiaodong went to the restaurant to eat noodles, and then brought Qi Yan a meal and put it in a food box and went to the royal workshop.

Luo Feng came to the house absolutely not.

Gu Xiaodong rode on an old tree opposite Liu Yan's house and watched Luo Feng and his wife.

Qi Yan gave Luo Feng a bite or two while eating. Gu Xiaodong swallowed his saliva when he saw it, and he couldn't help but think of Jing'er.

Early in the morning, Qi Yan woke up in Luo Feng's arms. Luo Feng smiled slightly: "Let's go down!" ”

Luo Feng saw that Liu Yan's apprentice was sitting at the door and sleeping soundly, so he woke him up.

"Wake up your master, I'm going to take him out!" Luo Feng whispered.

Liu Yan's apprentice saw that it was Luo Feng, who came to inquire about the case yesterday, so he quickly got up and pushed the door into the house to call the master.

"Master!"

Luo Feng heard the sound of exclamation coming from the house, so he rushed in. That Liu Yan sat behind a few cases, his head drooping and motionless. He had a dagger stuck in his back.

As soon as Luo Feng touched the corpse, it was already cold, and he knew that Liu Yan had been dead for a long time. He regretted that he had not searched Liu's house. Since someone can steal the drawings, there must be a way to get in.

Luo Feng looked at it for a long time, and then moved Liu Yan aside. He opened the door of the cabinet behind Liu Yan and found that it was an underground passage.

Luo Feng turned his head to look at Liu Yan's apprentice. The apprentice shook his head in alarm, indicating that he did not know what was in the cupboard.

Luo Feng asked the disciple to report to the official. He and Gu Xiaodong went to the palace to report the matter to the Queen of Heaven. Qi Yan still stayed in the shadows to monitor the movements of the people in the courtyard.

The queen of heaven heard that Liu Yan had died. She felt that this matter must have something to do with one of the other three, otherwise she would not have been in a hurry to kill and cut off the clue.

Luo Feng said that if the three of them made the crown according to the drawings, and then compared the one on the emperor's head, maybe they could see something.

The queen of heaven also agreed with Luo Feng's idea. She said that although the emperor's crown was dismantled, after all, it was made unlucky by someone to build it.

Gonggong Xu followed Luo Feng and Gu Xiaodong from the palace to the royal workshop, and happened to see the county order inquiring about the whereabouts of the three masters last night.

Gong Xu passed on the edict of the Queen of Heaven, so that the three masters each created a new crown within ten days. Luo Feng was ordered to stay in the courtyard to supervise the matter.

Luo Feng inquired about the county magistrate and learned that the secret passage led to the back garden. The footprints in the back garden examined by the officials preliminarily determined that they were the footprints of two men. But after they searched and compared, the footprints were not the size of the people in the courtyard, and the lines on the soles of the shoes were not right.

Master Luling of the Western Courtyard was not very old, but he was sick and coughed all day. However, he did his job quickly, and in less than seven days he had delivered the crown to Luo Feng's hands.

Luo Feng secretly made a number of crowns, and then sent them to the palace.

The king recommended a person, named Chu Xiu. He is good at making these delicate crafts, and he can help him discern them.

The queen of heaven also acquiesced. She asked the king to send someone to secretly escort Chu Xiu into Beijing. In order to prevent Chu Xiu from having an accident, Luo Feng discussed with King Liu, and asked Gu Xiaodong to accompany Luo Jiajun to secretly respond.

The king stayed with Luo Feng and lived in the Caiyun Residence of the Royal Workshop.

Luo Feng had already sealed the cabinet door with chains. He also moved the coffee table to one place. Because he felt that sitting in front of that cabinet made people feel unsteady.

After another three days, the two masters of the North and South Courtyards also handed in the crowns they had made as scheduled.

Luo Feng and the others only waited for Chu Xiu to arrive, and they could distinguish who was the one who made the mechanism and intended to murder the new emperor.

After another three days, Chu Xiu should also arrive. But King Liu, Luo Feng waited for a day, and there was no one.

"Something must have happened to them!" Liu Wang sat uneasily behind a few cases and pointed his finger at the table.

Luo Feng also put down the book in his hand and looked at the door. Qi Yan carried the food box and walked into the house, and then she took out the food and put it on the dining table.

"I'll go to the city gates!" Qi Yan said before leaving.

"Let's eat!" Luo Feng got up and walked to the dining table and sat down.

"I can't eat it!" The king still sat behind a few cases.

"Only after eating can I have the energy to investigate the case. If you're sick, I'm distracted! "Luo Feng's way of persuading people is really special. Although Liuwang sounded awkward, he got up upside down and walked to the opposite side of Luo Feng and sat down.

Night fell, and King Liu, standing in front of the door, looking at the dark night sky, felt even more uneasy.

Luo Feng felt a little tired, and he lay down on the couch next to the tea table in the room.

Liu Wang closed the door and window and sat down for a few cases before picking up the book, but he didn't read a word.
