2539 Goading her doesn’t work
Behind the nanlin envoy were the dongzhe envoy and the Deputy general under Shi mu.
Shi MU’s Deputy general just stood there and didn’t say anything, but the envoy from Dong Zhe was different. He walked closer to the envoy from nanlin and said, ” the princess’s death is strange. It wasn’t a normal death. Our Prince said that we have to investigate and find the murderer to seek justice for the princess!
“But, the great Zhou needs coroners to investigate the case, how can I let a man get close to the princess?” the nanlin envoy said with difficulty. If the king and the queen find out about this, won’t I be skinned alive?”
“Isn’t it said that Princess Xinxin can solve cases like a god?” the envoy said in disdain. Let her do it! Relying on a coroner, she still has the nerve to admit that she can solve cases like a god?”
Gu Xin was so angry that she laughed. This person must have forgotten that she could understand!
Or did he not forget and said it on purpose? Was he provoking him?
She took a step forward and said,”I’m sorry for interrupting your conversation.” I really don’t admit that he’s a God in solving cases. Now, I can say that I need a coroner by my side when I’m investigating a case. Not only do I need a coroner by my side, but I also need a Yamen runner! I’m not as good as you think, I can’t do everything by myself. By the way, I’ll give you a phrase from the great Zhou,”each has his own job.” Every department and position has their own meaning.”
After a short pause, Gu Xin continued,”I think you two don’t want to investigate anymore.” Then the court of judicial review would have nothing to do with it. Then I’ll call Xiao Qiu and the rest to leave. You guys can discuss the follow-up with Lord Gu!”
After she finished speaking, Gu Xin called Zheng Qiu, he gang, he Qiang, and the rest to bring their men out.
Zheng Qiu, he gang, he Qiang, and the rest of the court of judicial Review’s officers all stood behind Gu Xin.
Gu Xin turned around and said to Gu shouxin helplessly, ” father, I’ll go back and take a nap. You’ll probably have to work hard for a while.
Gu shouxin nodded and said,”yes, go back to sleep!” Rest in peace. I’ll tell Mr. Qin not to let anyone disturb you and Xiao Qiu no matter what.”
The messengers from dongzhe and nanlin quickly translated the conversation between the father and daughter in the ears of their envoys.
The envoy of nanlin was anxious. Princess Xinxin, wait! Wait! Don’t go!
Gu Xin couldn’t be bothered with him and continued to walk out.
The nanlin envoy took a few steps forward, wanting to pull Gu Xin back. He gang and he Qiang stood behind Gu Xin, glaring at the envoy.
The envoy of nanlin looked at Gu shouxin with a sad face. “Lord Gu, please persuade the princess! Our Princess died an unnatural death, and we need Princess Xinxin’s help. I beg you, Lord Gu.”
The nanlin envoy’s heart was in a mess. Princess Long Zhu ‘er was the heir appointed by their King and Queen. Many things had already been handed over to her. They were just waiting for her to take over the affairs of nanlin country after she found a husband.
However, she was gone now. More importantly, he didn’t know how she had disappeared.
Both Dong Zhe and Jia Cang had seen the situation. If there was no result and they went back like this, Dong Zhe and Jia Cang would tell them about the situation. Wouldn’t he, the leader, be finished?
If he could find the murderer, he would have an explanation and the punishment he would receive when he returned would definitely be less.
Hence, the nanlin envoy did not want Gu Xin to leave.
The envoy didn’t expect Gu Xin to be so domineering and leave without a care for her reputation. His taunting didn’t work on her at all.
