MTL - King’s Landing: The Proud Empress-Chapter 517 about clues
Chapter 517 about clues
Jun Li's words undoubtedly made Chen Qingpei sweat coldly on his forehead, feeling like a catastrophe was imminent.
Qiu Baitian beside him was not much better, his face was very pale.
Others don't know what he did back then, but Chen Ziqing definitely knows! Now he not only came back alive, but also returned with great glory. This is simply a nightmare!
It wasn't until everyone in the room had left that Chen Qingpei glared at Qiu Baitian, and said angrily, "You'd better pray that Qing'er doesn't have any ill intentions towards the Chen family now, otherwise you'll just wait and see from the position of the husband of the Chen family." Get up and down!"
Hearing this, Qiu Baitian was stunned. With Yirong Qingcheng's attitude just now, how could he have no ill will towards the Chen family?
"My wife, we still have Tan'er." Qiu Baitian tried to remind Chen Qingpei that he still has a solid backing!
Hearing this, Chen Qingpei also thought for a moment, and said, "Go to the ancestral hall first." He said and walked out first.
Seeing this, Qiu Baitian had no choice but to follow.
When the two of them came to the ancestral hall, there were more than a dozen officials around them, who stopped them from entering.
A moment later, Rong Qingcheng and Junli came out from inside, Rong Qingcheng was holding a tablet in his hand.
Seeing this, Chen Qingpei's expression changed. If Rong Xizhi's memorial tablet was really taken away like this, how would she have the face to hang out in the mall in the future!
Thinking like this, Chen Qingpei shouted to Rong Qingcheng, "Qing'er, your father is doing well here, what are you doing!"
Hearing this, Rong Qingcheng glanced at her, and snorted coldly, "For the sake of your daughter, I don't care about the past with you, so you'd better not provoke me!"
Actually, Rong Qingcheng was quite conflicted about Chen Zitan. Logically speaking, Chen Zitan was the child that Rong Qingcheng hated the most, and it could even be said that he was the child of the two people he hated the most. Therefore, Rong Qingcheng should not like Chen Zitan.
But since the last time I saw Chen Zitan, and Chen Zitan ran towards Qionghua Pavilion every three days and kept calling him brother Ziqing. His hatred for these two people gradually diminished.
After all, such a person is not worthy of his hatred! Because hating them was a waste of his time!
Trapped by Rong Qingcheng's words, Chen Qingpei could only watch helplessly as Rong Qingcheng and Junli slowly walked towards the outside of the Chen residence.
The team gradually moved away, and Chen Qingpei sighed. When he saw Qiu Baitian at the side, he couldn't help but slap him up!
—
It took about an hour to leave the Chen Mansion, because there were many guards walking, so Junli decided to find a place to stop, let the guards rest for a while, and have a meal by the way.
Came outside a restaurant, the owner of the restaurant immediately ran out. When he saw the number of horses pulling the carts and countless guards, he immediately asked the second sister nervously to clean up the people in the restaurant.
Seeing this, Jun Li waved his hand, expressing that there is no need to do so.
Because there are so many guards, it is impossible for the restaurant to have so many rooms. Junli ordered the shopkeeper to quickly build a shed outside to let the guards rest. And quickly prepare meals for the guards to eat.
Just like that, Junli, Rong Qingcheng, and a group of officials entered the restaurant.
The guests in the restaurant had long been startled by the movement outside, and they poked their heads out one after another.
After learning the identity of the visitor, they all became cautious and respectful.
When Junli and the others entered the restaurant, a large group of people knelt down immediately.
Junli took a look, but he didn't expect the business of this restaurant to be quite good.
"Get up, don't be restrained." He said to the shopkeeper at the side, "I disturbed the people eating, and all the food expenses here today will be counted on my head."
Hearing this, the shopkeeper dared not dare.
Eunuch Yu, who was on the side, directly handed a stack of banknotes to the shopkeeper, and said with a smile, "There should be private rooms, right?"
The shopkeeper just took a quick look at the amount of the bank note, and was startled.
There are so many and large bank notes, even if their restaurant is busy for the first half year, they can't earn it!
Taking the banknote, he hurriedly said, "Of course, Caomin will take His Majesty up."
Junli nodded, and followed the shopkeeper into the private room.
Ask the shopkeeper to prepare three private rooms, one for Junli, Rong Qingcheng and Eunuch Yu. One is for Shifeng Ding Xuwei Chipin and Baili Qingzhou.
There is another room for those officials.
The food was served quickly, and there were more than 20 dishes!
Seeing this, Jun Li frowned, "There is no need to waste money."
The shopkeeper had a drop of cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and he nodded in agreement.
So he removed half of the dishes and sent them to the private room next door where Shi Feng and others were.
Through the bead curtain of the private room, Junli can clearly see a high platform in the center of the lobby on the first floor, on which sits a middle-aged woman with a refined face holding a folding fan.
In front of the woman is a table, and on the table is a gavel, which is obviously a storyteller.
Looking at the middle-aged woman below, she kept silent, but instead glanced at the private room where she was from time to time. Junli instantly understood what was going on.
He recruited the young man who served carefully outside, and said, "Why don't you talk about it?" He said and glanced at the middle-aged woman below.
Seeing this, the young man said, "Let's say it, let's say it." He ran downstairs and whispered something in the middle-aged woman's ear.
The middle-aged woman glanced in the direction of Yajian, then patted the gavel lightly, and said, "Now let's continue talking about what we just said!"
"It is said that a female corpse was found in an abandoned well in the east of the city yesterday. The clothes on her body were extremely ordinary, and her appearance was soaked beyond recognition. It is estimated that she has been dead for more than three months. The yamen have not yet found out who she is. , not even the claimed family members. It is estimated that there should be some dark affairs in the family of some big family..."
The middle-aged woman talked endlessly, and the guests didn't feel uncomfortable, but listened with gusto.
Jun Li touched his chin, he died three months ago...
Will it have anything to do with the hidden patriarch?
Of course, Jun Li also felt a little impossible. It's ridiculous that anyone who dies has something to do with the Yin clan's patriarch.
However, Junli still asks people to learn more about the female corpse issue.
After the meal, a guard came to report. It is said that the well smelled bad and was surrounded by many flies, so it made people suspicious. It turned out there was a body inside.
After being inspected by the police, it was a female corpse. But the body has decayed, and there is nothing on her body that can represent her identity, so she doesn't know the identity of the female corpse.
And after a preliminary inspection on the female body, there were no wounds, and she did not die of poisoning. So the government thinks that the woman may have accidentally fallen into the well. But because no one passed by, he was not rescued in time before being drowned.
