Chapter 167: Dead (1)
"Lord Liu."
"Cheng Anbo, please sit down." Liu Banshan asked one of his subordinates to go out to make tea, and then said, "I don't know why Cheng Anbo is here now?"
"Of course it's because of the assassination of Duke Jingting," Rong Xia said, "I don't know what my lord has discovered now?"
"We have already figured out the source of the flower pots. The assassins are not strict with their mouths. They will answer whatever we ask. They should not be professional assassins. The only difficult problem now is how to catch the mastermind behind the scenes."
Liu Banshan didn't hide the details of the case. After his subordinate made tea, he said to his subordinate, "You all go down, I'll talk to Cheng Amber alone."
No one in the entire Dali Temple knows that Mr. Jingting is Cheng Anbo's future father-in-law. No matter whether he has real feelings for Princess Fule or not, Cheng Anbo cannot remain indifferent at this time, so they all understand that Cheng Anbo is here now. .
After everyone else had retreated, Liu Banshan said: "One of the four assassins is still in a coma, and the other three are seriously injured. Uncle, Princess Fuller's martial arts skills are very good."
Rong Xia picked up the teacup and touched the corner of her lips: "This way I don't have to worry about her suffering in the future, that's good."
Liu Banshan didn't say anything more, he said loudly: "Cheng Anbo, please rest assured, the next official will definitely investigate this case as soon as possible."
"Master Rong," Dali Siqing came in, raised his hand and saluted Rong Xia, Rong Xia got up to return the salute, but he quickly turned sideways to avoid it: "Master Rong, we must investigate this case carefully, how can we bother?" You make the trip yourself."
"It just so happens that I'm taking a rest today, so I'm here to bother you, and you won't find it bothering you."
"Haha," the minister of Dali Temple accompanied him with a smile, "Your Majesty Rong speaks seriously. You are welcome to come here." As the minister of Dali Temple, he knows some things that others don't. For example, His Majesty has himself The spies, but who the spies are and who the leader is, they can't figure it out.
Dali Temple Minister had doubted the possibility of Rong Xia, but felt that such a person should not be suitable for such a thing as a spy, so he was only dubious, but this did not affect his awe of Rong Xia.
"Your Excellency, I'm naturally relieved," Rong Xia smiled lightly, "I also can't bear my fiancée to be angry about this matter, and I'm in a state of anxiety all day long, that's why I came here to bother you, please forgive me."
Dali Siqing laughed dryly, Cheng Anbo was putting pressure on them.
"I don't know where Mr. Jingting is..."
"Mr. Jingting was frightened and has already returned home to rest. As for Princess Fule..." Rong Xia picked up the teacup, took a sip slowly, and then gently scraped the rim of the cup with the lid, scraping Dali Siqing's face. Feeling up and down in his heart, he only hoped that Rong Xia could give him a good time.
"The princess is a girl. Seeing her father suffer so much, she felt extremely uncomfortable. Now she has gone to the palace to ask His Majesty to see her." Rong Xia sighed, "Your Majesty should also understand how His Majesty treats the Ban family, so this case is delayed. No, the more you procrastinate, the more angry your Majesty will be, and who will help your lord bear the charge of ineffectiveness?"
"Thank you, Lord Rong, for reminding me that the officials will definitely investigate this case strictly." Dali Siqing was even more worried, and he didn't know where the Ban family was capable, but he was able to coax His Majesty to pay special attention to them, even in the period of filial piety. His Majesty can also reward them with things from time to time, even if the Eldest Princess has the grace to save them, it won't make His Majesty miss them so much, right?
"The adults are busy, so I won't bother you. Let me leave."
"My lord, go slowly."
After sending Rong Xia away, Dali Temple Minister walked up to Liu Banshan, said with a sad face, "This case has no beginning and no end, how can we investigate it?"
"My lord, this is the portrait of the instigator given by the assassin." Liu Banshan handed the portrait to Dali Siqing, and Dali Siqing took a look at it, and immediately exclaimed: "What an amazing painter, Qingfeng, your painting skills have improved again gone."
"My lord, this painting was not made by me," Liu Banshan said with a wry smile, "This is Cheng Anbo's calligraphy."
As an official of Dali Temple, his skill in judging cases and painting is not as good as that of Amber, which makes people both ashamed and respected.
"What?" Dali Siqing looked at the painting in surprise, "Didn't Rong Junpo never paint portraits?"
"Probably there are always exceptions to everything," Liu Banshan thought of Princess Fuller, shook his head and smiled, "In any case, fortunately, having this painting will make our handling of the case a lot easier."
Dali Siqing carefully put the painting on the table. This is the first portrait of Rong Junpo, and he has the urge to stuff it into his arms.
Originally, some people said that Rong Junpo didn't draw portraits because he was not good at it. But how can such a person who can imitate the appearance of a prisoner by relying on the mouth of an assassin not be good at drawing characters?
It's a pity that the painting shows an unattractive prisoner, otherwise he would have the cheek to put the painting away.
In the Great Moon Palace, a singer was singing to Emperor Yunqing. Seeing that His Majesty had taken some interest in her, the singer was secretly happy.
"Your Majesty, Princess Fuller please see me."
Emperor Yun Qing, who was still intoxicated by the singer's song, sat up straight when he heard the words, and looked at Wang De: "Who are you talking about?"
"Return to Your Majesty, it is Princess Fuller."
"Yo, this girl finally doesn't tell me the rules." After not seeing this child for a long time, Emperor Yun Qing still missed him a little. He touched his chin with a smile and said to Wang De, "You old bastard, you still don't invite me?" Come in."
"Yes." Wang De withdrew, but thinking of Princess Fule's tears, I'm afraid His Majesty will have another headache.
Sure enough, when Emperor Yunqing saw Ban Hua walking in with red eyes and wrinkled clothes, he immediately thought that she was being bullied, and immediately said, "Hua Hua, what's wrong with you?"
"Your Majesty!" Ban Hua knelt in front of Emperor Yunqing, pursed her mouth, and burst into tears as if the bullied little piti had finally found a backbone.
She is not Emperor Yunqing's concubine, so she doesn't need to cry with restraint and grace, at this moment she can cry as much as she is wronged.
"What's the matter?" Emperor Yunqing was dumbfounded by this accident, so he didn't have the heart to care about the singer, so he hurriedly asked the female officer to help Ban Hua to sit up, and the whole Palace of the Moon Palace was busy , just to coax this aunt who couldn't help crying.
"Girl Hua, let's stop crying. If you are wronged, just tell your cousin that he will help you vent your anger." If his concubine was crying like this, Emperor Yunqing would have thrown up his sleeves and left. But this is the junior he likes, and Emperor Yunqing's mentality is different. What he thinks in his heart is who is so short-sighted, and even dares to show no face to his beloved junior.
