Chapter 60 Unprovoked murder
Yunxiao Palace.
"It's the four sons of Manjusri!"
Ye Han looked at the somewhat excited empress, nodded vigorously and said.
Although she was not in the Xuanhua Palace at the time, the shock in her heart after witnessing the four contests was hard to get over.
"What exactly happened at that time, tell me in detail."
The empress waved her hand and dismissed the male favorite, and asked impatiently, seeming to arouse her interest.
"The envoy from the State of Qian is aggressive. It seems that they have long made up their mind to make His Highness Taiqing and I look embarrassed at the banquet, so they directly sent the four sons of Manjusri to come forward."
"Fortunately, Mr. Wuji stepped forward at the critical moment and helped His Highness Taiqing get out of the siege."
"The first competition was about paintings. One of the four sons of Manjusri came up with a painting of the mountains and rivers of the Qian Kingdom. It was magnificent and magnificent, and it was indeed everyone's style. However, Mr. Wuji painted on the spot, with wanton sway, and amazed everyone with his skills in a panoramic view of the Nine Serenities. , won the first game!”
"His Royal Highness Taiqing also gave this picture the name Jiuyou, and it was acquired by Master Xu Zhaoxu, the great scholar of the palace."
"In the second game, Yan Song, the eldest disciple of one of the Four Sons of Manjusri, went into battle. He stopped playing the song and left a lingering sound, which is a well-deserved reputation. However, Master Wuji was not timid at all. He defeated Yan Song with a divine song of Guangling Sanli and won again!"
"At that time, even Yan Song felt ashamed and was willing to admit defeat!"
"In the third game, Chess Saint Tong Zhi represented the delegation. Master Wuji proposed that the two of them would decide the outcome with ten pieces each, and let Tong Zhi take the lead!"
"Everyone gathered around at that time, and I didn't see the trend of the chess game, but in the end, Mr. Wuji still won!"
"Looking at the world, there are probably only a handful of people who can beat the chess master Tongzhi within ten moves! The chess master even vomited blood and fainted on the spot!"
"In the fourth game, the last of the four sons of Manjusri came out to fight, and wrote the four words "unparalleled in the world" with the flying dragon and phoenix style! Everyone was shocked! Everyone thought that Li Guo would lose this game!"
"But Mr. Wuji actually wrote four characters in wild cursive handwriting. No one present could read it. In the end, Mr. Wuji asked His Highness Taiqing to give an extra stroke for each word, and the four characters were formed!"
"Even if your name is far away, you will be killed!"
"When the envoys of the Qian Kingdom saw this, they were all dejected. Shen Qingshan had no choice but to leave in anger, and the Qian Kingdom lost all face!"
"The copybook that must be punished even though it is far away has been collected by His Highness Taiqing and brought back to the East Palace!"
Ye Han's face was full of excitement, and he recounted everything that happened in Xuanhua Hall at that time.
The empress listened attentively, the smile on her face could no longer be concealed, and she nodded frequently.
"A good chess master can win in ten moves! A good one will be killed no matter how far away he is!"
"Jing'er really knows people with her sharp eyes!"
Immediately afterwards, the empress couldn't help but stand up, pacing back and forth, speaking involuntarily, and nodding excitedly, with a hint of spring inadvertently flashing between her eyebrows.
"It is a great achievement to make Shen Qingshan lose face and dampen Qian Guo's spirit, and you should be rewarded!"
"Have you ever given me any reward?"
The empress hesitated for a moment and asked slowly.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Taiqing originally wanted to invite Young Master Wuji to the East Palace, but suddenly news came from outside the palace that there was a murder in Young Master Wuji's gambling house. Someone was killed, and the Dou Ying Guards had surrounded the gambling house. Therefore, Mr. Wuji can only leave His Highness Taiqing temporarily and go back to deal with it."
Ye Han shook his head and said.
"deliver an imperial order!"
When the empress heard this, she couldn't help but frown and said in a deep voice.
Ye Han agreed and hurried forward.
...
capital.
Las Vegas.
At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Duying Guard were already standing inside and outside the gambling house. The streets were empty, and no one dared to approach.
In the gambling house, everyone was kneeling on the ground, including Pang Xiaoxiao and Cao Zian, as well as a group of gamblers who stayed to watch the excitement when the murder occurred. They were already covered in cold sweat and regretful.
The person leading the Duying Guards is none other than the commander of the Duying Guards, Luo Ping!
Luo Ping checked the two corpses on the ground, his face was gloomy, he looked around and frowned slightly.
"Such a big thing has happened, why doesn't your shopkeeper show up yet?! Where is he? Let him come out to see me!"
Luo Ping looked at Cao Zian who was kneeling on the ground and asked in a deep voice.
"Sir, the daughter of the people is the shopkeeper here. If anything happens, the daughter of the people will be solely responsible for it!"
Before Cao Zian could speak, Pang Xiaoxiao on the side had already spoken loudly without any retreat.
When Cao Zian heard this, he couldn't help but frown, with a trace of worry on his face.
"you?!"
"How can you, a weak girl, be able to support such a big scene?! You are talking nonsense!"
"Since the shopkeeper refuses to show up, take everyone here back and seal this place immediately!"
Luo Ping snorted coldly and said loudly.
"grown ups..."
When Pang Xiaoxiao heard this, he immediately looked anxious.
"Sir, could you please take a moment to speak?"
Cao Zian stretched out his hand to stop Pang Xiaoxiao, looked up at Luo Ping, and asked with a smile.
"If you have anything to say, just say it here!"
Luo Ping said in a deep voice.
"Sir, this gambling house has some connections with Mr. Wuji. Can you please consider Mr. Wuji's face..."
"You bastard! You are not a gentleman! Human life is at stake, and no one's face matters! Duyingwei is handling the case, and no one is allowed to stop it. Anyone who violates it will be killed without mercy!"
Cao Zian originally wanted to use the Young Lord's name to delay for some time, but the news has been sent out, and he believed that the Young Lord must be on his way back.
But before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Luo Ping.
But at this moment, a carriage suddenly stopped at the door, and no one of the Toei Guards officers and soldiers guarding the outside dared to stop it!
Immediately afterwards, an officer and soldier ran in quickly and quickly came to Luo Ping's side.
"Sir, a palace carriage suddenly came outside!"
The officers and soldiers leaned into Luo Ping's ear and said nervously.
After Luo Ping heard this, he couldn't help being surprised. Then he turned around with a puzzled look and walked out quickly. But before he could reach the door, he suddenly saw a figure walking out of the carriage, and he couldn't help but froze.
In place!
Li Wuji walked out of the carriage with his guqin in his arms and walked slowly towards the gambling house.
The East Palace guard who was driving the carriage was very discerning and hurriedly took the guqin from Li Wuji's arms and followed Li Wuji in.
Seeing this scene, the officers and soldiers guarding both sides of the door retreated and made way for them.
Although they did not recognize the guard, everyone recognized the armor he was wearing that was only worn by the guards of the East Palace.
Li Wuji walked straight into the building without even looking at Luo Ping. When he saw his junior sister and Cao Ziping kneeling on the ground, his expression changed.
"Since the young master has returned safely, I will go back to resume my duties."
After the guard placed the guqin on a table, he bowed respectfully to Li Wuji, then turned and left the gambling house.
Seeing this scene, Luo Ping couldn't help but frown, feeling a little confused for a moment.
"Stop kneeling and get up."
Li Wuji glanced at Pang Xiaoxiao and Cao Zian who were kneeling on the ground, said lightly, and sat on the chair beside him.
Cao Zian didn't hesitate. He stood up and helped Pang Xiaoxiao beside him.
"Xiao Xiao, I drank too much just now. Please make me a cup of tea."
Li Wuji turned to look at his junior sister and said softly, with a soft smile on his lips.
From the beginning to the end, he did not glance at Luo Ping, who was stunned on the spot, as if he turned a blind eye to the officers and soldiers who crowded the gambling house.
Pang Xiaoxiao agreed, slowly turned around and left.
"Are you Mr. Wuji?!"
Luo Ping was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth, and finally spoke.
But Li Wuji didn't pay attention at all, as if he didn't hear anything, and actually slowly closed his eyes in full view of everyone.
His originally pale complexion became a little rosy because of a few more drinks.
"You are Mr. Wuji?! I heard that this gambling house has something to do with you?!"
Seeing that he was being ignored, Luo Ping's face became a little ugly. He took a few steps forward, raised his voice, and asked loudly again.
"Old Cao, who is he? Why is he so noisy?"
Li Wuji frowned, showing a hint of boredom, slowly opened his eyes, turned to look at Cao Zian aside, and asked impatiently.
"Sir, this is the Commander of the Duying Guards, Mr. Luo Pingluo."
Cao Zian cupped his hands and said hurriedly.
"oh."
Li Wuji nodded, responded casually, and continued to close his eyes, still ignoring it.
oh?!
