Chapter 052: The Dinner Party in the City Lord's Mansion
The first powerful person in the Xia Kingdom, the Regent, will attend the banquet held by the city lord of Nanhang City tonight.
Many big people with good energy on the stage of Nanhang City have received invitations from the City Lord's Mansion.
Some aristocrats who were careful brought all the single girls in the family to dress up.
Many people have investigated the regent's temperament and hobbies, including private matters in life, such as the fact that His Royal Highness is still single.
Besides, even if His Royal Highness the Prince Regent already has some love, with His Royal Highness's ability and identity, what about the three thousand beauties in the harem.
Many of the daughters of big families and powerful ladies in Nanhang City have also heard of the demeanor of His Royal Highness the Regent.
At a young age, Wen Taowu is unparalleled in the world.
On the battlefield, he showed a posture like a god descending to earth, easily defeating the powerhouse of the Supreme Realm of the Red Flame Country.
Now the handsome and tall image of His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of everyone's ladies and noble daughters.
Occasionally, when close friends in the boudoir have nothing to say, there are also eldest ladies who shyly mention His Royal Highness the Prince Regent who has entered their dreams.
At the banquet in the City Lord's Mansion tonight, there is no need for the elders in the family to tell them, and the school-age women who can go to the banquet have already begun to dress up carefully.
......
Lu Qiu didn't know about the boiling caused by his visit to Nanhang City, as well as the thoughts of the local forces.
In his opinion, it is like a private visit by the Son of Heaven to observe the people's feelings.
At most, I will say a few words of greeting with the upper circles of Nanhangcheng, and after the end, I will leave Nanhangcheng tomorrow and return to the imperial capital.
At dusk, Lu Qiu left the inn.
Su Hongzhuo was going to pick him up in person, but Lu Qiu refused and told Su Hongzhuo that he wanted to go on foot.
After walking less than two streets, Adianman walked from the crowd and said, "Master, that Tao Gongzi is the only son of the president of the Tao Chamber of Commerce, one of the three major local chambers of commerce, and he was used as a gun. ”
"I guess I'm being used as a gunman. Lu Qiu just smiled, not surprised by what Adianman said.
"You can say that. Adian scratched his head: "Your whereabouts were revealed to Tao Gongzi by a person named Fei Qiujun, Fei Qiujun is the son of Fei Yang, the president of the First Chamber of Commerce in Nanhangcheng, and Fei Yang has a close relationship with Su Hongzhuo. ”
"Does this matter have anything to do with Su Hongzhuo?" Lu Qiu stopped and watched the street performing acrobatics for a while.
"It shouldn't matter, Su Hongzhuo's attention is on the master, and he is trying to slap you up. A Dianman said: "According to my investigation, Fei Qiujun's father, Fei Yang, should not know what happened today. ”
In other words, Nanhangcheng, a well-known bastard rich boy, has been pretending all along. The real Fei Qiujun is insidious and despicable, and does things by unscrupulous means. likes to manipulate behind the scenes, and he has long been eyeing the Chamber of Commerce of Tao Gongzi's family. It just so happened that my Royal Highness the Prince Regent appeared in Nanhang City, and happened to appear in that auction house, and it happened that Fei Qiujun and Tao Gongzi were there. ”
Lu Qiu took out a gold coin and threw it in the basket of the acrobatic troupe's performance venue, making several people in the acrobatic troupe sweating profusely smile in surprise, stopping the incomplete project and thanking them again and again.
The reward of a gold coin is the first time this acrobatic troupe has encountered it.
Lu Qiu turned to leave, and Adianman followed.
There are too many coincidences in this matter, even the appearance of Xiaoshuang and Xiaoyu sisters.
Fei Qiujun seized the opportunity and completed the murder with a knife.
"You say, did Fei Qiujun's plan to kill people with a knife succeed?" Lu Qiuyu walked leisurely.
"It's done, because Tao Gongzi is dead, he can completely push this matter on us. Adianman analyzed.
"If it were me, I would let the Dow Chamber of Commerce stand against me and use His Royal Highness the Regent's identity and power to completely uproot the Dow Chamber of Commerce. Lu Qiu said.
Ah Dianman knew nothing about it, he had spent most of his life studying Xiuyuan, and he didn't understand the tricks of people's hearts.
......
"Ahh
Fei Qiujun, who was holding the little jasper in his arms, sneezed and rubbed his nose strangely.
"Young Master, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Jia Biyu raised her cup and asked with concern.
"I felt uncomfortable, as if someone was watching me in the dark...... Saw through everything about me. Fei Qiujun looked strangely at the window that was basically dark.
"The young master is really good at joking, and people are very timid. Xiao Jia Biyu snorted.
"Timid, where is it? Let me touch it, it's not small. Fei Qiujun smiled and stretched out his hand.
Half an hour passed, and Fei Qiujun looked faintly tired, and came out of the room with his clothes tied.
"Fei Shao, the carriage and horses are ready, are we going to leave for the City Lord's Mansion now?" asked his subordinate.
"Go, we can't let His Royal Highness the Regent wait for us. Fei Qiujun closed the door, that little jasper was really a goblin, and he was choked enough.
After walking a few steps, he remembered one thing: "By the way, the person who killed Tao Gongzi is His Royal Highness the Regent, and this news must be locked." Otherwise, our entire Chamber of Commerce will be unlucky. But you can find a way to let Tao Gongzi's father know that the murderer is in the city lord's mansion. ”
"I understand, let the Tao Chamber of Commerce know that the person who killed Tao Gongzi was attending a dinner in the City Lord's Mansion, but I didn't know that it was His Royal Highness the Regent. The man smiled sinisterly.
"The children can be taught. Fei Qiujun smiled with satisfaction, he liked this kind of smart subordinate.
......
Dow Chamber of Commerce.

"Check it out for me! Turn Nanhang City upside down, and find out the murderer of my son!" Tao Teng smashed the table to pieces, and the room full of people did not dare to pant loudly.
Bang bang bang!
Outside the door, there was the sound of hurried footsteps.
"President, the brothers below have received news that the murderer of the young master has gone to the dinner party in the City Lord's Mansion. "One of the men came in, reported.
"Did the City Lord of Su come out to greet you?" Tao Teng was stunned.
Although the son is not angry, he is a bit of an idiot, but after all, he is his son.
I went out in the morning, but the news came back before it was dark that he was killed, and the bones on his neck were pinched to pieces, which was made by a Xiuyuan master.
Sending out all the people who could be sent out by the Chamber of Commerce, Tao Teng almost forgot the invitation to the dinner sent by the City Lord's Mansion.
"The city lord of Su did not greet him in person, which means that the identity is not good. Two worshippers, I'm going to trouble you next. Tao Teng clenched his fists and said sincerely.
"Don't worry, President, we receive such a generous remuneration in the Chamber of Commerce every day, so we naturally want to help you and the Chamber of Commerce do things. "The two worshippers are called Shi Yan and Qi Xingjin.
These two are real ground level masters.
Like Shi Yan, his strength has reached the peak of the middle stage of the ground level.
