Although she should be ordered, Sui Ge always felt that there was something strange about the emperor suddenly asking her to investigate this case. Where, she couldn't tell.

Four days have passed since the case, and the so-called golden seventy-two hours have long passed. Although I heard that the Praetorian Guard was also investigating the case, four full days had passed, and there was still no clue. If you want to make this case too mysterious, or the Praetorian Guard is too wasteful.

"There's another possibility." Squatting on the stage of the palace drama with the song, looking at the stage that had already been cleaned by the palace maids and had no traces of blood, "If the above two guesses are not correct, it can only be said that this case is ostensibly for the Praetorian Guards to investigate, but in fact, it is for them not to investigate." ”

This can also explain why it took four days before she was summoned to the palace and suddenly asked her to investigate the case.

In this empty courtyard where the stage was placed, a few brave palace people dared to come in and walk through, and rumors even spread in the palace that there would be cries of unjustly killed people in the middle of the night.

Everywhere I walked with the song, all I saw was a cleanly washed place, and if I wanted to check the bloodstains and the small items that had fallen, there was no way to start.

When I asked the palace people who asked to clean up the bloodstains, the unified reply was the emperor.

The murder scene has been completely destroyed, how can this clue be traced?

Sui Ge felt more and more that his guess was correct.

Ji Liren observed around for a while, and didn't see any suspicious people approaching, so he said lightly to Sui Ge: "Have you forgotten what Gonggong Li said, remember to be cautious in the palace." ”

“…… Troublesome. ”

The two walked around the scene several more times, but found nothing.

Later, I asked the guards, asked the people who set up the stage in the palace, and checked all the information that the Praetorian Guards had searched, and the only thing I knew was that the group of actors were all found by King Yu, and they were famous actors in the capital. However, when I really went to the theater in the capital to check, there was no information about those people at all.

"The man who King Yu found." Leaning on the pillars of the gazebo, Sui Song kept muttering to himself to organize his thoughts.

Ji Liren poured a cup of tea for her and handed it to her.

Sui Ge took the water, handed it to his mouth, and finally didn't drink it.

"The people who King Yu found finally killed King Yu. The Praetorian Guards stopped at this point. The crime scene is destroyed, all the criminals are dead, and there is no connection between the dead guests. ”

Ji Liren said lightly: "The emperor didn't ask you to find out. After all, even the Praetorian Guards have been checking for four days, and they still have no clue. The emperor only wanted you to help review and find some clues. It's good to be able to find it, but it's nothing if you can't find it. ”

Speaking of the emperor, the emperor's wrist is really still there.

Such a big thing happened in the palace, it really made the emperor suppress it, although there are rumors among the people, but most of them are positive, it is nothing more than an assassin who intended to kill the royal family, but it was suppressed. Even the families of those dead and wounded officials, the emperor did a good job of appeasing them, and even gave the titles of the dead officials with great fanfare, saying that they died a glorious death.

But Sui Ge always felt that there was something wrong here.

"Seven people died that night, one of them was a Persian envoy, one was the king of Yu, and the remaining five were just ordinary officials, with no special status."

Ji Liren nodded, "That's right." Questions? ”

Sui Ge wrinkled his eyebrows, "There are so many people who have died, not to mention the deceased, one of them is the prince, and the remaining officials can participate in this banquet, and the level will certainly not be lower than the fifth grade." With such a big official position, people died inexplicably, and none of the family members had a whisper? ”

Ji Liren listened, thought for a while, and guessed: "I heard that the emperor rewarded the dead and injured family members with a lot of gold and silver treasures, and also gave them the title of 'escort martyrs'. I really haven't heard a single official's family member have a very big opinion. ”

Suddenly, there was a flash of inspiration, and Sui Song seemed to have grabbed something.

"General Ji, do you know much about those dead officials?"

“…… I don't know much about them, but I just know their character. ”

"Are they all the same kind of people as King Yu?"

King Yu is well-known for his wandering and fun in the court and the opposition, up to the singing and dancing banquet, down to the Qinglou, there is the shadow of King Yu everywhere. Coupled with his domineering personality, many people secretly complained a lot about him.

Ji Liren thought seriously for a while, and then looked up, his eyes were full of seriousness.

"The few people who died, I won't hear Wuchen comment next time, it is indeed similar to King Yu. Although not all of them are as domineering as King Yu, they are undoubtedly fun-loving people. ”

"That makes sense." Sui Ge's face changed a few times, "No wonder their families have no complaints at all." ”

"How?"

"What kind of mood does the family feel when this person in the government has nothing to do, and he still lingers in the land of fireworks every day, and only knows how to drink and have fun all day long? Now that these people are all dead, and they are dead as they deserve, and the honor given by the emperor, and in exchange for gold, silver and jewelry, the family members are too late to be happy, how can there be whispers? ”

Ji Liren felt that what she said was reasonable, and the expression on his face was a little difficult to see.

"So you've guessed who is in charge of this?"

Sui Song shook his head, but his eyes lit up very much, "But I launched the biggest beneficiary after this." ”

"Who?"

"Emperor."

Ji Liren was about to say something, but he heard someone approaching. After signaling Sui Ge not to go any further, the two sat silently in the pavilion, waiting for the man to arrive.

Sure enough, after a while, Gonggong Li led a few palace maids over, and he was still carrying a palace lamp in his hand.

Only then did the song notice that the sky was getting darker, but it was not enough to see the road clearly.

"General Ji, with my lords, the emperor ordered our family to bring two adults to dine together." Father-in-law Li's attitude towards Sui Ge is very good, and he can be said to be pleasant.

We only finished breakfast together in the morning, and we had dinner together in the evening, so it seems that the emperor doesn't seem to plan to let the two of them go today.

When he thought about it like this, Gonggong Li had been waiting in front for a while.

Sui Ge smiled faintly and bent down slightly: "I'm going to bother my father-in-law to lead the way for us again." ”

Ji Liren was the first to stand up, took Sui Ge's hand, and helped her up. After that, he didn't let go of their hands at all, and just took them and left.

The palace maid in the back knew Ji Liren, and when she saw this scene, her face turned red and she secretly snickered, looking very envious.

Gonggong Li looked at the hands they were holding together without a trace, and the smile on his face was even better, and he only commented: "The general and Lord Sui are really a good match." And he led the way.

In response to this, Ji Liren decided to give him a gold ingot later.

The palace is very large, the distance between the courtyard and the courtyard is very far, the courtyard where they are singing and has built a stage is located in the north of the palace, and now the place where they eat is in the southwest, and they can't pass in a straight line, so they can only bypass the nine curves and eighteen bends before sparing it.

Sui Ge finally understood why Gonggong Li had to come with the lamp so early.

After arriving at the place where he was eating, Ji Liren really gave Gonggong Li gold openly. Gonggong Li was pleasantly surprised and a little panicked. Seeing Ji Liren's expression that didn't look serious but not relaxed, he didn't dare to take it at first. It wasn't until Ji Liren raised his eyebrows slightly, and the majesty in his eyes came out, that Gonggong Li took it with a shudder, and after bending down at ninety degrees and thanking him several times, he led the palace maid to flee as if he were fleeing.

Looking at this scene wordlessly with the song, it was really emotional.

"Why is he running so fast? I gave him money, and he cowered as if I had killed his whole family. Ji Liren's brows furrowed into the word "Sichuan".

Sui Song said faintly: "General, your EQ is really low." ”

After grinding for a while, the two walked into the dining room. Only then did he push open the door, and the eunuch standing by the door screamed loudly and loudly: "General Ji, follow the adults!" ”

Sui Ge almost didn't lift the knife and slashed at him.

When the two of them entered the main house, they were stunned, and then saluted.

Emperor Long Hao waved his hand, exempted them from the courtesy, and let them take their seats.

This dinner was no better than breakfast, and in addition to the emperor, there were also the crown prince and King Jingli at the same table.

When the prince saw the two, he was obviously happy, and greeted them with a smile, without asking them the purpose of entering the palace at all. I don't know if he already knew, or if he didn't dare to ask.

After leaving the palace before, Sui Ge had never seen King Jingli. Goodbye today, King Jing Li looked a little haggard, and his eyes were a little more suspicious when he met Sui Ge's gaze.

"The two of them are good Yaxing, and they specially entered the palace to accompany the emperor for dinner." King Jing Li looked at Sui Ge boldly, his expression was flat, and he couldn't guess his mood at the moment.

The emperor raised his glass and took a sip of wine, before he said with a smile: "I have heard that I have the ability to solve cases with Aiqing, and I think that the assassin's case has not been clarified a few days ago, so please follow Aiqing into the palace to have a look." After a pause, he added another explanation as if he was speaking for Sui Ge: "But Sui Qing's family has been injured and her body has not yet healed, so I don't let her in too much to see if there are any clues." This case still has to be investigated by the Praetorian Guard. ”

The Praetorian Guard is under the management of the Protector of the Kingdom, but there are people from King Jingli in the Praetorian Guard, and everyone knows this in their hearts.

King Jing Li said quietly: "This Praetorian Guard is also getting more and more slack, and after so many days of investigation, there is no result." ”

The prince smiled calmly: "After all, the prisoners all died on the spot, and it will take some time to find out." With King Duanyang and the Protector supervising the case, Uncle Huang, you don't have to worry too much. ”

King Jing Li snorted softly and did not say anything.

He silently took a sip of wine with the song.

Well, the wine in this palace is really much better.

As the saying goes, it's none of your business.

Originally, there was no interest in this dynastic dispute with the song, if it weren't for Yin Dongsheng and Ji Liren, she wouldn't have been involved. Now that the meal has not yet started, sparks have faintly begun to pop up on the table, which is not exciting.

She began to doubt the emperor's purpose in inviting her and Ji Liren over for this meal.

"Sui Aiqing, I heard from the people in the palace, today you and General Ji are running around to check and verify, have you found any clues?"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, all the eyes on the table fell on Sui Ge.

Sure enough, the price of eating a royal meal is still very high.

Can she skip it?
