Chapter 439 A Person Who Looks And Dislikes Each Other

Half an hour later, Commander Huang strode to meet Ji Xun, but Minister of Dali Temple was wiping the cold sweat on his forehead all the way, looking at his face and looking at his courage, he was about to break.

Commander Huang reported the latest findings to Ji Xun, but Minister of Dali Temple didn't say a word at this time. He kept his head down and occasionally lifted his sleeve to wipe the sweat away. He didn't know where he was going.

Playing with the token in his hand, Ji Xun looked at Minister of Dali Temple without a word. Seeing that he was standing there in a daze, he asked loudly, "Is there anything else besides this token from king qin's mansion?"

"When we return to the crown prince, we find a footprint on the wall and the beam of the inner chamber. The size should be a man's footprint. The tiles on the roof have traces of being moved. The old and new footprints should have been left behind in recent days. My subordinate has asked the official on duty of the post house. The post house must clean the house at least once a day. There is no possibility of any residual dirt." Seeing that Minister of Dali Temple was silent, Commander Huang could only continue to answer.

Ji Xun looked at Minister of Dali Temple and asked, "Did the qing family find these clues when they came to report last night?"

"Chen..." Minister of Dali Temple's tongue trembled, not knowing how to answer to save his own life. He was afraid that Minister of Dali Temple's position would never be able to continue.

Before Minister of Dali Temple could think about it any further, he listened to Commander Huang, "When we return to the crown prince, Mr. Qin did not ask anyone to search the inner chamber last night. It was the result of a search with his subordinates this morning. The people who were searched were all Dali Temple officials. The people his subordinates took with them were only responsible for monitoring on the side. Mr. Qin and the government officials of the Dali Temple can testify."

Even if Minister of Dali Temple wanted to deny it, he could only give up when he thought that the people who were supervising him were all Ji Xun's confidants. He stood there in silence, deflated, but the cold sweat on his forehead did not diminish.

Ji Xun sneered and said, "It's really rare for the qing family to sit in the position of Minister of Dali Temple for so many years. They don't even know the most basic rules of investigation. It's really an eye-opener for gu. I don't know how many unsolved cases the Dali Temple has accumulated over the years. Gu is now interested in checking the files."

"Your highness, your highness, forgive me. I know you are guilty." Minister of Dali Temple quickly knelt down to plead guilty.

Ji Xun snorted coldly. Before he could speak, a guard reported to him, "Your highness, there is a Imperial Guard reporting from the post house. The subordinate of king qin nan lost a token and asked for a search."

"Hehe, what a coincidence. Just after finding a token here, king qin nan found that there was a token missing." Ji Xun sneered and looked at Minister of Dali Temple, who was still kneeling down, and asked, "The qing family thought it was such a coincidence. What can I do to clear the name of king qin nan and not let Prince Xiang die in vain?"

"Your highness the crown prince, your ministers are ignorant and ignorant. Please let your highness make it clear." Minister of Dali Temple's voice was trembling, which showed how scared he was.

"What a stupid saying." Ji Xun's eyes were cold, shooting at Minister of Dali Temple like a sharp blade.

Even though she could not see Ji Xun's eyes when she was kneeling on the ground, Minister of Dali Temple still had a stiff back and beads of sweat on her forehead fell to the ground. She said to herself, "The heavens are going to kill me!"

"Since the southern king of qin has called for an injustice and this matter concerns the murder of Prince Xiang, then summon the southern king of qin and the person who lost his token to the palace for an audience." Ji Xun then glanced at Minister of Dali Temple, who had a stiff back, and ordered, "Summon all the kings and the officials of the court to the palace. I must listen to everyone's opinion so that no one will say that I am a dictator in making false accusations."

The guard took his orders and left, but Minister of Dali Temple's forehead touched the ground. He was so black in front of him that he wished he could pass out. Today, he was afraid that he would die anyway. At this time, no one could talk about it. His confused mind did not know what to do next.

Having the two of them wait in the hall, Ji Xun got up and went to the back house to talk to Su Mianyue about it, but Su Mianyue said with a smile, "I'm afraid that the crown prince's words will only arrive, and the guard who lost his token will already be a corpse."

"Suicide for fear of crime?" Ji Xun answered.

"The king of south qin has the intention to rebel, so he will certainly train his cronies wantonly. The guards who can join him in Shangjing City this time are not only extraordinary, but also his cronies. However, they lost their tokens at this time. Will the king of south qin keep such useless people?" Su Mianyue sneered. It was better to give up a scapegoat than to suffer. As for whether he would be suspected, it was not king qin's concern to leave the capital alive.

Ji Xun did not feel surprised and nodded. Perhaps he would do the same thing if he changed places, but the difference was that Ji Xun would not sacrifice his confidant easily, while king qin nan could deal with it mercilessly.

Without asking Su Mianyue how he got the token, Ji Xun drank a cup of tea, ate a piece of cake, and then got up and went back to the main hall. Su Mianyue planned to go over and listen to it later, but Eunuch Qing came in at this time and reported: "Young lady, that Miss Hong has sent a message saying that she wants the guards to accompany her shopping to influence her reputation. She can ask if she can accompany her for a walk, or let her master and servant go out of the palace by themselves."

Su Mianyue slightly curled his lips and thought for a moment before getting up and saying, "Since this Miss Hong is so kind to make an appointment, it would be better if I didn't give her face."

"Do you want to prepare yourself, miss?" Eunuch Qing asked in a low voice, not daring to dissuade her.

"What does Eunuch Qing think this girl needs to prepare?" Su Mianyue curled her lips and smiled. She could crush Hong Yanran's face even in her casual attire. This was the biggest blow to Hong Yanran, and what Su Mianyue disliked the most was the heavy makeup. It was self-destructive.

Seeing that Su Mianyue had left, Eunuch Qing quickly took small steps and followed behind.

As for this inner chamber, it was the two masters who would immediately close the door when they were not around. Besides the secret guards guarding it, no palace people were allowed to be on duty inside.

On the busy street, Hong Yanran seemed interested in stopping to ask about everything. Her innocent and lively appearance was very likable. If she had not coveted Ji Xun, perhaps Su Mianyue would have been liked by Hong Yanran's personality.

Of course, don't look into hong Yanran's eyes carefully. A girl who is a little careful can't have pure eyes.

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

Hong Yanran's face changed slightly. He threw the little thing he loved so much back to the stall and sneered, "Miss Su's patience is so bad, but did he lose it after walking with Yanran for such a short time?"

"Shopping is about mood. You don't get tired or lose interest after hanging out with someone you like for long. But hanging out with someone you hate will make you tired even if you take a few steps." Su Mianyue's voice was slightly cold. He pointed to a restaurant across the street and said, "It's lunchtime. If Miss Hong doesn't mind, he would go down to the east to rest and finish what he has to say while eating. I really don't have as much leisure as Miss Hong. I have a lot of time to waste."

Is this calling her a useless person?

A hint of resentment flashed through Hong Yanran's eyes, but there was a slight smile on his face, "Then it will cost Miss Su money, please."
