Huitongkan.

Cui Yunqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, rushed into the gate in a hurry, and then saw that the courtyard was full of kneeling people, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped into the main hall.

"Weichen Cui Yunqi, see His Royal Highness Taiqing."

Cui Yunqi said as he knelt respectfully in front of Li Jingyao.

"Cui Shangshu is really timely."

Li Jingyao glanced at Cui Yunqi and said slowly, there seemed to be a hint of mockery in her tone.

"Wechen suddenly heard that something happened to the Huitong Pavilion at home, so I came to take a look, the mission is a guest, Wechen is worried that I have lost my courtesy..."

"I didn't expect... It turns out that His Highness is here..."

Cui Yunqi swallowed his saliva and explained softly, looking dazed.

"Hmph, you treat others as guests, but others may not treat you as hosts."

Li Jingyao sneered and said in a non-yin and non-yang manner.

After hearing this, Cui Yunqi's face changed slightly, and he was even more puzzled, but when he saw Taiqing's face, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

At the same time, Jiang Ziqing, who had gone to the hospital to count the number of people, had returned to the hall.

"Teacher, the count has been counted, the number of people is right, there is no one missing."

Jiang Ziqing said a word to Shen Qingshan, who was kneeling on the ground, and then continued to kneel in the position just now.

Hearing Jiang Ziqing's words, Li Jingyao's originally gloomy face suddenly stiffened and frowned slightly.

"Are you sure you counted correctly?!"

Li Jingyao stared at Jiang Ziqing's eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"Back to His Royal Highness Taiqing, no one will fall, no more, no less."

Jiang Ziqing bowed and said respectfully, with a look of affirmation.

Hearing such an answer, Li Jingyao's brows furrowed even tighter, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, and she subconsciously turned her head to look at Li Wuji, who was sitting on the side.

At the same time, Jiang Ziqing, who had finished answering Li Jingyao's question, also raised his eyes and glanced at Li Wuji, and blinked his eyes twice quickly.

"Master Cui, you are the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, you should remember how many people came when the mission entered Beijing, right?"

Li Wuji looked at Cui Yunqi and asked lightly.

"Remember, remember... From the officials to the escort retinue, altogether... One hundred and thirty-six people. ”

Cui Yunqi hesitated for a moment and hurriedly replied.

He didn't expect that Wuji Gongzi was also here, he saw it when he came in just now, and he knelt on the ground, but he sat on the chair as steadily as Mount Tai, and he always felt a little awkward in his heart.

However, thinking of what this Wuji Prince did in the Xuanhua Palace, he is not qualified to have any opinions, after all, now the whole court knows that after the Xuanhua Palace, the Wuji Gongzi will inevitably be reused, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes an official.

What's more, everyone knows that he is Taiqing's person.

"Surely you remember correctly?"

Li Wuji asked slowly.

"Absolutely nothing! In such a matter, the lower officials dare not make mistakes. ”

"Envoy Shen also knows, if the son doesn't believe it, you can ask him."

Cui Yunqi hurriedly shook his head and pointed to Shen Fang, who was also kneeling beside him.

When the embassy entered Beijing, he received it together with the same hall, and if he could be mistaken by how many people came, then he would be the head of the Ministry of Rites.

"Master Cui is right, it's one hundred and thirty-six people."

Shen Fang hurriedly agreed, looking nervous.

"Then there is an envoy Lao Shen, go and count the number of people again."

Li Wuji said with a smile, his tone was calm and kind.

Shen Fang hurriedly agreed, immediately got up, and quickly ran to the courtyard to count all the people in the mission.

"Your Highness, Childe, it has been counted, and it is indeed one hundred and thirty-six people."

Shen Fang quickly returned to the hall and said with a serious face.

Listening to Shen Fang's answer, the corners of Li Wuji's mouth couldn't help but flash a sneer.

But Li Jingyao, who was sitting on the side, was stunned, obviously found two people who slipped out of the mission in the private house in the east of the city, how could there be no shortage of people in the mission?!

Those two people have already died in the house!

Unless, those two people...

Thinking of this, Li Jingyao couldn't help but look at Li Wuji again, and doubts appeared between her eyebrows.

"Your Highness, as the foreign minister said just now, the whole mission has never left the Huitong Pavilion for half a step, and what happened in the city has nothing to do with our mission."

"But His Royal Highness came to visit late at night, but he gave me the mission and gave me such a big charge of Qianguoan, I don't know how the mission offended His Highness?!"

"The foreign minister of this matter should truthfully enter the palace tomorrow to report to Her Majesty the Empress, and ask Your Majesty to uphold justice and return my innocence to the country!"

Shen Qingshan arched his hand, looked at Li Jingyao, and said confidently, as if there was a sense of complaint between his words.

After listening to Shen Qingshan's words, Li Jingyao was speechless for a while, without a trace of expression on her face.

He was still wondering if the two people in the private houses in the city were from the mission, but it was true that those people had hidden gunpowder, and it was also true that they assassinated her, if it wasn't done by the people in the mission, who would it be?!

"Deputy Envoy Shen, don't worry, the innocence you want is already on the way."

Li Wuji looked sideways at Shen Qingshan, with a hint of a playful smile, and said lightly, still looking confident.

"What do you mean?! Did you make all of this?! ”

"Why do you want to slander our Qianguo Mission, is it because you are competing with Your Excellency in the Xuanhua Palace?! But since you've won all four games, why are you still framing?! Why be so aggressive?! ”

Shen Qingshan glared at Li Wuji and said loudly.

Compared with Li Jingyao, he was not so polite to Li Wuji, a person who had no official or position.

"Here we are."

But Li Wuji didn't pay attention to Shen Qingshan at all, but looked in the direction of the courtyard gate, grinned, and said slowly.

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of footsteps, and a group of people walked quickly through the courtyard and walked straight into the main hall.

The people at the head are Tong Zhuo and Cao Zi'an.

Hearing the footsteps, everyone looked over at the same time, and then saw several officers and soldiers of the battalion carrying two corpses into the hall and slowly placing the corpses on the ground.

Seeing the two corpses, Shen Qingshan's face changed suddenly, and his expression was lonely.

"Your Highness, the guards have cleared all the gunpowder, and the scene has been dealt with! A city-wide inventory is underway! ”

"In addition, when the subordinates of Wuji Gongzi were cleaning up the killers with the lowly duty, they found the two members of the mission who had sneaked out of the guild hall, and the lowly duty had brought their corpses."

Tong Zhuo walked closer, saluted respectfully, and said slowly to Li Jingyao.

Hearing Tong Zhuo's words, Li Jingyao's eyes couldn't help but light up, and she couldn't help but glance at Cao Zi'an and Li Wuji respectively.

At this time, Li Wuji did not react at all, he was holding the teacup with his head down, pulling the foam in the cup with the lid of the cup, and he looked like he had nothing to do with himself.

"Impossible!"

"The number of people has been counted just now, and no one in the mission has left the Pavilion! There must be a mistake! ”

Shen Qingshan looked at Tong Zhuo and said loudly, looking dissatisfied.

"Really?"

Tong Zhuo turned his head to look at Shen Qingshan, asked coldly, turned around and slowly walked to the side of the two corpses, took the sword in his hand and flipped the hand of one of the corpses, revealing the part of his palm.

"If I remember correctly, the weapons of the people in the armies of the two countries are all swords, but the swords in the armies of the people in my Liguo army are all straight handles, and the swords used by the people in the Qianguo army are all with curved handles."

"And these two people are covered with calluses on the tiger's mouth, and they know at a glance that they are people in the army, because of the perennial training that has caused the tiger's mouth to wear out, and the shape of the wear is precisely because of the long-term holding of the curved handle-like weapon!"

"Also, although they have dressed up in disguise and changed the clothes of the embassy guards, they have forgotten to change even the most intimate clothes, and unfortunately, the dirty pants they wear are made by your Qianguo!"

As Tong Zhuo spoke, he put the scabbard on the waistband of the corpse's trousers, and with a strong pick, he directly removed the corpse's coat, revealing the obscene pants inside!

Seeing this scene, Shen Qingshan was instantly stunned on the spot, his face was pale, and he couldn't get up anymore.

The four sons of Manjushri on the side were also dumbfounded, and their faces were solemn.

After listening to Tong Zhuo's words, and looking at Shen Qingshan's pale face again, Li Jingyao's face finally eased, and she looked at Shen Qingshan again, her eyes were already full of killing intent.

"Shen Qingshan! What else do you have to say?! ”

"Do you dare to say that you didn't instruct your subordinates to secretly hide gunpowder in my capital city with bad intentions?!"

Li Jingyao looked at Shen Qingshan coldly and asked sharply.

Hearing Li Jingyao's words, Cui Yunqi trembled, and then he realized that such an earth-shattering thing had happened...
