Chapter 434
Half an hour later, Commander Huang came to meet Ji Xun in stride, but Dali Siqing was wiping the cold sweat from his forehead all the way, and his face was probably about to lose courage.

Commander Huang reported the latest discovery to Ji Xun, but Dali Siqing didn't say a word at this time, kept his head down and occasionally raised his sleeves to wipe his sweat, and his soul didn't know where he went.

Playing with the token in his hand, Ji Xun looked at Dali Siqing without saying a word, and seeing him standing there distraught, he asked loudly: "Apart from this token of the Qinnan Palace, are there other discoveries? "

"Returning to His Royal Highness, a footprint was found on the wall and beams of the inner bedroom. Judging from the size, it should be a man's footprint. The tiles on the roof have been moved. Judging from the newness of the shoe print, it should be a few days ago. For those left behind, the subordinates have asked the on-duty officials of the posthouse, and the posthouse must clean the house at least once a day, and there is absolutely no possibility of remaining dirt." Seeing that Dali Siqing did not speak, Commander Huang could only continue to answer .

Ji Xun looked at Dali Siqing and asked, "Did the Qing family find these clues when they reported last night?"

"Minister..." Dali Temple Minister's tongue trembled a little, he didn't know how to answer in order to save his own life, he might not be able to hold the position of Dali Temple Minister anymore.

Without waiting for the minister of Dali Temple to continue to think about it, Commander Huang said: "Returning to His Royal Highness, Mr. Qin did not let anyone search his inner bedroom last night. It was the result of a search together with his subordinates this morning. The people who searched were all Dali. The yamen servants of the temple, the people brought by the subordinates are only responsible for supervision, Lord Qin and the yamen servants of Dali Temple can testify."

Even if Dali Siqing wanted to deny it, he could only give up when he thought that those who supervised him were Ji Xun's confidantes. He stood there in frustration and said nothing, but the cold sweat on his forehead still didn't decrease.

Ji Xun sneered and said: "It's rare for the Qing family to sit in the position of Dali Temple Minister for so many years. They don't even understand the most basic rules of investigation. It really opened my eyes. Solved the unjust case, Gu is interested in checking the case file now."

"His Royal Highness forgives the crime, and the minister is convicted." The minister of Dali Temple hurriedly knelt down and confessed.

With a cold snort, before Ji Xun could speak, a guard reported: "His Royal Highness, there is a report from the Imperial Forest Army at the posthouse, and King Qin Nan's subordinates have lost a token, requesting a search."

"Hehe, what a coincidence, as soon as a token was found here, the king of Qin Nan found that there was a token missing." Ji Xun sneered, looked at the minister of Dali Temple who was still kneeling on the ground, and asked: "The Qing family Thinking that such a coincidence, what should Gu do to clear King Qin Nan's name and not let King Xiang die in vain?"

"His Royal Highness, I'm ignorant, so I ask His Royal Highness to make it clear." Dali Siqing's voice was trembling, which showed how scared he was.

"What an ignorant sentence." Ji Xun's eyes were cold, and he shot at Dali Siqing like a sharp knife.

Even though he was kneeling on the ground and couldn't see Ji Xun's eyes, Dali Siqing's back was still stiff, beads of sweat on his forehead fell to the ground one by one, and he thought: God will kill me!
"Since the king of Qinnan is calling for injustice, and this matter is related to the murder of King Xiang, then the king of Qinnan and the person who lost the token will be summoned to the palace to have an audience." Ji Xun finished speaking and glanced at the minister of Dali Temple, whose back was stiff. He also ordered: "Summon all the kings and first-rank officials in the court to come to the palace. I just want to listen to everyone's opinions, so that no one will say that I just create unjust, false and wrong cases."

The guards took the order to go, but Dali Siqing's forehead touched the ground. His eyes were black and he wished he could pass out. Today, he is afraid that he will die anyway. At this time, no one can discuss it. I don't know what to do next.

Asking the two to wait in the hall, Ji Xun got up and went to the back house to talk to Su Mianyue about it, but Su Mianyue smiled and said, "I'm afraid that the guard who lost the token will already be there when the crown prince's order arrives." A dead body."

"Suicide in fear of crime?" Ji Xun asked.

"The king of Qin Nan has the heart of rebellion, so he will definitely cultivate his cronies. The guards who can go to the capital with him this time are not only extraordinary in skill, but also his confidantes. But at this time, they lost their tokens. King Qin Nan Will such a useless person be kept?" Su Mianyue sneered, it is better to give up a scapegoat than to suffer herself, as for whether she will be suspected, it is not at all what King Qin Nan wants to consider now, it is to get out of Beijing alive. His only purpose.

Ji Xun didn't feel surprised and nodded. Maybe he would do the same when he was in a different place, but the difference is that Ji Xun would not sacrifice his confidants easily, but King Qin Nan could deal with it mercilessly.

Without asking how Su Mianyue got the token, Ji Xun drank a cup of tea and ate a piece of pastry, then got up and went back to the main hall. Su Mianyue planned to go and listen in later, but Eunuch Qing was at this time Come in and report: "Miss, that Miss Hong sent a letter saying that she let the big inner guards accompany her to go shopping and affect her boudoir's reputation, and asked if she could let the girl accompany her for a walk, or let their master and servant go out of the palace by themselves. That's it."

Su Mianyue slightly curled her lips, thought for a while, then got up and said, "Since Miss Hong is kind enough to meet you, if I don't show face, it's not justified, so let's go and meet."

"Miss, do you want to prepare?" Eunuch Qing didn't dare to dissuade him, so he hurriedly asked in a low voice.

"Eunuch Qing, what do you think this girl needs to prepare?" Su Mianyue curled her lips into a smile. No matter how casual her attire was, she could crush Hong Yanran's appearance. This was the biggest blow to Hong Yanran, not to mention Su Mianyue's worst What I like the most is to wear that heavy makeup, which is simply self-destructive.

Seeing Su Mianyue leaving ahead, Eunuch Qing hurriedly took small steps to follow behind and wait on him.

As for the inner bedroom, when the two masters are away, the door will be closed immediately, except for the secret guards guarding secretly, no palace servants are allowed to be on duty inside.

On the bustling street, Hong Yanran looked interested in everything and wanted to stop and ask. Her innocent and lively appearance was very endearing. If she hadn't coveted Ji Xun, maybe Su Mianyue would have been attracted by Hong Yanran's character. liked.

Of course, don't look carefully at Hong Yanran's eyes, for a girl who is a bit careful, her eyes cannot be truly pure.

After shopping for nearly an hour, Su Mianyue stopped Hong Yanran, who was about to continue shopping, and said, "Did Miss Hong invite me out just to go shopping?"

Hong Yanran's complexion changed slightly, she threw the gadget she loved just now back to the booth, and said with a sneer, "Miss Su's patience is too bad, but did you lose your patience after walking around with Yanran for a while?"

"Shopping is all about mood. You won't get tired after a long walk with someone you like, and you won't lose your interest. But shopping with people you hate, even walking a few steps will make you tired." Su Mianyue's voice Slightly cold, he pointed to a restaurant diagonally opposite and said: "It's time for lunch, if Miss Hong doesn't mind, she can go and have a rest inside, and finish what she wants to say while eating. The girl is so free, she has a lot of time to waste."

Is this calling her a useless person?
A trace of resentment flashed in Hong Yanran's eyes, but she said with a smile on her face, "Then Miss Su will spend the money, please."
