Chapter 119 Give You Seven Days
"You have to go back and forth thousands of miles, and the road must be very tiring. I sent an errand to you as soon as I came back. I couldn't bear it, but who made me surrounded by a bunch of trash? Only you can take care of it. You can work harder." Li Wanjiang still said something human.
"Your servant must do his best and devote himself to death, and he will catch the murderer who assassinated the prince!" Xiao Chen's words were actually full of anger.
"Well, I don't worry about your work. It's just that this matter is so important that we must investigate it as soon as possible. How about I give you three days?" Li Wanjiang began to lose face again.
Xiao Chen remained silent, thinking that I'd better jump into the lake and forget it.
"Oh... three days is a bit too short, let's say seven days, Xiao Chen, my son was assassinated, and Shishi was really angry and anxious. It's good to be sympathetic to my worries." Li Wanjiang said again.
"I'm going to investigate now, servant." What else could Xiao Chen say?
"Some time ago, the northern tribes sent some sheep. I tasted them and they tasted good. I will give you a few later." Li Wanjiang considered this as a reward.
"Thank you Lord Ron!"
After coming out of Qinzheng Hall, he went straight to the Palace of Compassion and Peace. The Empress Dowager was ill. As an eunuch in the palace, he must go to greet her. He probably won't be able to see her, but the procedure must be followed.
Unexpectedly, when Wang Jinzhong saw him, he took his hand and walked straight in, "The queen mother knows you are coming back, and she is anxious to see you. If you don't come, I have to invite you."
"Wang Gonggong, what is the Queen Mother looking for me for?" Xiao Chen knew it was not a good thing.
"What else is there? When the queen mother's nephew, Shi Mingwen, was assassinated, you were in Jiangdong County." Wang Jinzhong said.
"Oh, I don't even know about this small matter. By the way, Eunuch Wang, have they delivered the little meaning brought back by the villain?" Xiao Chen whispered.
"You are so polite!" Wang Jinzhong's wrinkled old face showed a happy smile, "We two brothers still play this trick, this time our family accepts it, and next time we won't allow it!"
No wonder he saw Xiao Chen being so affectionate, it was all thanks to the gift.
The Queen Mother's spirit is indeed not very good, her complexion is particularly ugly, the flesh on her cheeks is loose and drooping, she looks even more like an old hag.
He was also weak in speaking, "Xiao Chen, tell Aijia everything you know, the clearer the better, they all lied to me, all of them lied to me! I am a good nephew, and he just died for no reason... "
What does Xiao Chen know?
He was still in the palace at the time, and he was shocked when he heard the bad news. He left quickly in grief, and he didn't know anything else.
But I heard that Xiao Xinghan did it.
"Your boy has a long life, but my nephew has a short life." The queen mother sighed leisurely.
It seems that she also thinks that the person Xiao Xinghan really wanted to assassinate was actually Xiao Chen, who was just unlucky with her nephew Shi Mingwen and became Xiao Chen's scapegoat.
How can you ask Xiao Chen to justify this matter?
I can only lower my head and pretend to be terrified and terrified.
"Xiao Xinghan, this bastard, it doesn't matter if he killed the nephew of the Ai family, but he even wanted to kill the grandson of the Ai family! Xiao Chen, the Ai family knows that you are capable, this time you must kill the daring gangsters of the Tianxuan Society. The thieves are all killed, don't keep a single one!"
The Empress Dowager knew about the errand that the Emperor had just photographed for Xiao Chen, it seems that both of them had discussed it before.
"Your servant would like to obey Yi's order!" Xiao Chen hurriedly said.
"The Empress Dowager is tired, Xiao Chen kneel down." Wang Jinzhong who was at the side saw the Empress Dowager closed his eyes, and saw off the guests loudly.
"Empress Dowager, this servant learned that the Empress Dowager's phoenix body was slightly ill, and I was extremely anxious. It happened that someone picked a big Ganoderma lucidum in Burma. After this servant learned about it, I asked for it without any hassle. For thousands of years, taking it will greatly benefit the body..." Xiao Chen took out a brocade box from his arms as he spoke.
When opened, it turned out to be a purple-red Ganoderma lucidum, and an aromatic medicinal smell pervaded instantly, making the person intoxicated.
The empress dowager's dead fish eyes immediately opened and stared round, with a greedy light, "Oh? It's really hard for you to still have this filial piety..."
Therefore, gift-giving is also very particular. The gifts to Wang Jinzhong are all silk brocade, a special product of Burma, but they cannot be given to the Queen Mother. Could it be that she still lacks these things?
An old lady at her age is most afraid of death, so it is most appropriate to give her a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. According to folklore, this is a fairy grass, and eating it can make you live forever and be free from all diseases!
In fact, it’s all nonsense, Ganoderma lucidum is nothing more than a precious medicinal material, its medicinal value may not be as good as that of a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng, but the meaning is very good...
Evidently the Queen Mother was delighted.
You can't give this thing as a gift to the prince. The prince is so young, even the emperor hasn't done it yet. How can he become a fairy so quickly?
The prince is ill, and the prince is lustful, so it would be perfect to give him a few beauties.
The ten beauties that Myanmar sent to Li Wanyun were all returned. When the Myanmar envoy was in a dilemma, Xiao Chen helped him solve this problem. Give it to me, and I will give it to the prince for you...
But before going to see the crown prince, one thing must be clarified, is the assassin from the Profound Sky Society?
"I don't know." Duan Linger, the princess, blinked her big innocent eyes, and didn't know what to ask.
"You are not from Tianxuan Society, you!" Xiao Chen said angrily.
"No." Duan Ling'er answered clearly.
"Then you..." There were three black lines on Xiao Chen's forehead.
"But I can contact them, but I don't think Tianxuan will do it. I heard from the chief helmsman and the others that Prince Li Xian is not capable, and he has not dealt with his emperor's father. The only way to kill him is to kill him." There is a lot of harm but no benefit, but keeping him has a hundred benefits but no harm." Duan Linger's small mouth made sense.
"Second brother, is he now in Fengyang?" Xiao Chen also felt that Tianxuan would not do it, but he still wanted to meet Xiao Xinghan and ask him in person.
"The chief rudder is not here, he has gone to Yizhou, maybe the master Fu Yan is here, can you find him?" Duan Linger was quite happy.
"It's fine, you can make an appointment with him and I'll see him... Be careful! We are a big tree now, and many people are staring at us." Seeing Duan Linger turn around and leave, Xiao Chen hurriedly stopped and told him.
"Hey, don't worry, no one can keep an eye on me!" Duan Linger laughed outside the door.
Ugh……
Bring Zhuge Xiaosheng, Ye Baiqing and others to discuss it, and everyone feels that this matter is very difficult.
Li Wanjiang said that he asked Xiao Chen to investigate the murderer, but he preconceived that Tianxuan would do it.
Then should Xiao Chen arrest Tianxuanhui directly, or continue to search for the real culprit?
"I think the emperor wants to take advantage of this matter to suppress Tianxuanhui. Shi Mingwen's death of the empress dowager is an excuse, and now the crown prince's assassination is another excuse. The combination of these two excuses can give those courtiers who oppose his suppression A lot of pressure." Xiao Chen said.
"Well, that's why he asked you, boss, to do this errand. He thinks that you must have one heart with him. After all, Tianxuan will be your common mortal enemy." Ye Baiqing smiled wryly.
This is so embarrassing.
