Ling Jin felt very guilty for his dereliction of duty, and in the search after the next day, he tried his best to search almost all the impossible people.

After understanding the cause and effect, Ling Jin rarely contacted Qiong Ming, and took the latter directly into the prison and arranged for the two to meet.

As soon as the real Qiong Ming appeared, Bai Yulan almost recognized it, and he seemed to have a very inexplicable bearing, which made people only feel comfortable when they got along, and they felt like a breeze.

When Qiong Ming saw her, he smiled slightly and said, "What? How much does that fake last night look like? It is said that you were tricked into going to the dark tunnel and almost died? ”

Bai Yulan rubbed her eyebrows, frowned and said, "This face is a little similar, but now that you are standing in front of me, I don't feel that there is anything like it, when that person first called me Niangniang, I felt that it was wrong, but you have never called me Niangniang." ”

"I've called it a few times, and I may have heard it by someone with a heart, thinking that I really keep calling you Niangniang." Qiong Ming said, "It seems that the people around you should have gone wrong, after all, the people around you, even if they have seen me, are a minority, how can they think of imitating me and harming you again?" ”

That is the people in the Luanfeng Palace, Bai Yulan's heart sank, most of the people in the Luanfeng Palace are old people, it is said that when she was taken away, Ye Mingting specially instructed the people here before leaving the palace to find people, not to replace the people in this palace, if these old people, how could they think of attacking her?

"It should be someone in the palace, and I have had contact with people in my palace." Bai Yulan said in a deep voice, "Otherwise, we wouldn't have done this, and we wouldn't have known that the relationship between us was not superior-inferior. ”

Thinking of this, Bai Yulan sighed, it seems that the situation this time is really a bit complicated.

"I've already handed it over to Ling Jin to deal with this matter, presumably he can give me a very good answer." Bai Yulan said, sighed again, and said a little depressed.

"Do you want to see the envoy today?" Qiong Ming proposed, "When he let you out of the prison last night, didn't he mention that the envoy might have another accident today. ”

"That's true, but I'm not sure if what the man said is true or not, after all, he is a fake, can I still blindly believe him?" Bai Yulan closed her eyes, a little irritated and said, "Is there anything wrong with the court?" ”

"Since you came in, those ministers seem to have done a lot of duty, and rarely make any more trouble." Joan replied truthfully.

The two chatted for a while, and Bai Yulan felt more and more that the person really didn't look like he had learned at all, what a waste of that face, and this skill was in vain.

Qiong Ming himself looks a lot kinder, at least in terms of appearance, he can't see what kind of bad guy he is, and this time he talks around and some details of his actions, he can also see that he is a young man cultivated by a big family, and the appearance played by that assassin is really very different.

Suddenly there was one on the promenade

A quick pace ran over, from far to near, and said, "Oh no, no, no!" Niangniang, the envoy who entered Beijing this time, died again, and was still brutally tortured and killed, and the death was extremely miserable, and she was the biggest envoy sent from the northern Xinjiang. ”

Bai Yulan sighed in her heart, she couldn't help but be surprised, her eyes widened, and she said, "What did you say?" Brutal torture? When did he die? Has it ever been tested? ”

She suddenly thought of the fake Qiong name last night, and said a few words to her, there is a good show going to happen? Could this be what he calls a good show?

Bai Yulan was shocked in her heart, and then she heard the guard quickly reply, "Tell Niangniang, she died last night, and she was found in the alley of the old city today, and her death was miserable, it is said that blood was splattered on the walls, and the walls were dyed in a human form." ”

Bai Yulan's face turned pale and said, "You go down first." ”

Qiong Ming naturally saw her discomfort, and asked with concern, "Did you think of what that person said last night?" But since even I know what you said today, Ling Jin should also be clear, he will investigate this matter clearly, don't worry. ”

Bai Yulan waved her hand and said, "I didn't even expect this matter to develop to such a point. ”

The envoys who came to Beijing died one after another, and even this was like a retaliatory method, but whenever the slightest news was transmitted back to the central state and northern Xinjiang, they would use it as an excuse to send troops, so as to ask for an explanation.

Bai Yulan held his forehead, feeling powerless, the situation was developing so fast, he didn't know how to solve it now.

At the same time, there were ministers in and out of the imperial study that day, and Dali Siqing came several times, from Bai Yulan was forced to be imprisoned, and now this envoy has been assassinated again, one by one, almost exhausting his mental strength.

"Now that Niangniang has been imprisoned in the prison, no matter how impossible it is to persecute a man who is five big and three coarse, the supervision is very strict, and it will not be for others to do it, should Niangniang be washed away first?" Dali Siqing hesitated and said, "Niangniang is deep in the prison, and she is a daughter, I'm afraid it will not be good for your body." ”

However, Dali Siqing's words did not shake Ye Mingting, he directly ignored it, changed the topic, and said, "You just said that the envoy was brutally killed in an extreme way?" In this case, the murderer should be a man, and he has practiced martial arts and acted alone, otherwise according to the body of the envoy and the strength of his kind of barbarian, I am afraid that ordinary people will not be able to shake it. ”

"What the emperor said is exact, so Weichen judged that Niangniang will definitely not be the culprit of the successive deaths of the envoys this time."

"The body of the deceased was slashed several times, and the person was cut into a human shape, and only a head could vaguely identify who it was." He paused, frowned, and said, "Wechen has been conducting investigations in various places, and if there is anyone in the know, Wechen will definitely report to the emperor as soon as possible." ”

"Your Majesty, if this matter cannot be given a clear explanation to the two countries, I am afraid that it will be difficult to end at that time, and my dynasty will inevitably have to introduce a person as the real culprit to take the blame, and please think twice."

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu stood up and said bitterly, "If you take advantage of the current situation of the unstable morale of our court, I am afraid that it will be difficult for my court at that time." ”

Ye Mingting twisted his eyebrows and scolded angrily, "Go down." ”

"I won't wronged anyone, if this murderer is not found out now, and a random person is arrested to blame, how will the people think of me at that time? Besides, if the murderer is not eliminated for a long time, he will surely commit a second murder, and if so, will it not bring even greater disaster? It's stupid! ”

The minister was speechless, and in the face of Long Wei, he didn't dare to refute more, so he had to retreat abruptly.

"You all retreat, Dali Siqing stays." Ye Mingting commanded in a cold voice.

"Yes."

"I heard that the Empress was almost killed in the prison last night?" Ye Mingting's face was a little ugly, and he said, "Didn't you say that the prison is now very strictly supervised, and even a fly can't fly out?" Why can't that person catch him now? So that he can come and go in prison as he pleases? ”

"This is also the reason why Weichen proposed to the emperor today to take Niangniang back to the palace, last night, Niangniang met the man in black, disguised as Niangniang's cronies, and then disappeared in the secret passage, he is so familiar with this place, according to Niangniang, only a few people around her know, and only appeared in the palace, so Weichen dared to think that he was a person in the palace."

He said the conjectures in his heart one by one, and at the same time he couldn't help but feel a little helpless in his heart, and said, "The minister knows that the emperor has done all this for the good of Niangniang, but don't condone her because of Niangniang's misdeeds, this time the matter involves the political intrigues of the other two countries, and Weichen thinks that Niangniang is likely to be in danger and become the focus." ”

After all, everyone knows that the emperor of the Hui Dynasty once searched for more than half a year because of the disappearance of the queen.

"I know very well and I know what I'm doing." Ye Mingting said in a deep voice: "It's just that I also know one thing at the same time, she will not be willing to return to the palace because of my requirements for her." ”

In this way, it is not his choice alone.

"This incident, although it was not her doing, but I think that it does have something to do with the queen, if she gets involved, although it will be dangerous, it will be easier to find out the truth."

After a pause, he suddenly glanced at Dali Siqing and said, "In addition, doesn't Aiqing think that the death of the first envoy was clearly their own doing?" Such a well-known thing, even if the truth is handed over, this central country may not say that this is what we lied about, and will still attack our border defense, you go and remind Ling Yun that the army should be consolidated, he knows what to do. ”

"Yes."

"You can take care of the rest." Ye Mingting sat down and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

When Dali Siqing withdrew, he was still apprehensive, it seems that the emperor should be ready to fight with the people over there whether he investigates the case or not, as for this investigation, it is just a buffer time, presumably to pull out the military power in the hands of the king of Nan'an

drop, and the private soldier who is now missing.

If the two armies were fighting, the king of Nan'an would take refuge in the enemy and start a surprise attack from his own interior, he would have suffered heavy casualties.

At this time, Bai Yulan couldn't stand Qiong Ming's many words, and finally opened a back door for herself from Ling Jin, changed into men's clothes, and got out of the prison.

Last night, when she walked through the dark passage, she only felt eerie, but now there is a soldier guarding it almost every few meters, and it looks much safer.

The streets in the city are very prosperous, only the bulletin board is crowded with a lot of people, noisy and shouting, Bai Yulan squeezed in, and at a glance, it is the portrait of the envoy who has seen it at the palace banquet, which is hanging on the bulletin board, encouraging everyone to provide clues about the death of the envoy, and even a monetary reward.
