The best county magistrate

Yang Xuanchen and Zhang Biao looked at each other, and both of them smiled bitterly.

Seeing that Butterfly was already eating, they didn't hesitate and finished the noodles they ordered in just a few bites.

"I'm full. The wontons here are not as delicious as those at Old Li Tou's in Xicheng, but they're still passable."

Butterfly said, patting his belly and burping, "Little handsome boy, let's go, pick a hidden corner..."

"Girl Butterfly, get on the carriage, it's over there." Yang Xuanchen pointed to the carriage on the street and said.

Butterfly nodded, and then the three of them got on the carriage.

There was no light in the carriage and it was dark. Butterfly seemed to adapt to this environment very well. She stretched and said with a smile: "You trust people so easily, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Her words did not cause Yang Xuanchen to feel uncomfortable. Instead, he laughed, "Miss Butterfly is joking. If you wanted to kill us, you wouldn't talk so much nonsense to us."

"I guess the people above you or you yourself must have some use for me, Yang Xuanchen."

In the darkness, Butterfly's eyes looked straight at Yang Xuanchen in front of him, with a smile on his lips.

"Master Xiao Yang is not only very intelligent, but also very courageous. For the sake of you treating me to a supper, I will tell you."

"When the Liao delegation came to the capital last year, the ambassador who died was named Yelu Jin. The surname Yelu is the surname of the Northern Liao Kingdom, and it is also a common surname..."

Yang Xuanchen did not interrupt Butterfly, but just listened. What she said now overlapped with the information he had found in the past few days.

However, he was a little surprised that Butterfly knew that he was investigating the death of the Liao Ambassador, because not many people knew about the investigation.

Butterfly said that after meeting Yang Xuanchen, there was no movement. In addition, it was dark in the carriage and she couldn't see his expression, so she suddenly stopped.

"Girl, why don't you say anything? Keep going." Yang Xuanchen said with a smile.

"It's boring to talk to you, you don't respond at all!"

"I know everything you said, how do you want me to react?" Yang Xuanchen asked.

At this moment, Butterfly finally understood. It turned out that he had talked too much nonsense, but no matter what, when I talk to you, you have to hum a few times. It's rude! Stinky scholar!

Although she had a little temper, the tasks assigned by the people above still had to be completed, so she continued talking.

"Yelüjin is from the Duke of Northern Liao, and this Duke is a big figure who advocates peace."

"Originally, the Northern Liao army marched to Haiyang Pass, and he was sent to Dayan as an envoy to discuss business and customs clearance between the two countries..."

Yang Xuanchen was immediately interested in the news brought by these words.

If the threat of the military is used as a bargaining chip to gain a dominant position in negotiations, this is a common method.

It seems that the peace faction of the Liao Kingdom did have the upper hand in their country at that time, otherwise there would be no such thing as an envoy.

But what does she say have to do with Yelujin's death?

"Girl Butterfly, I would like to ask how and why he died?"

"Don't worry, let's talk about how he died next." Butterfly rolled his eyes at him and continued.

"Yelujin was dead, with bleeding from all his orifices. According to people at the State Guesthouse, laughter and crying could be heard in Yelujin's room at that time."

Hearing what she said, Zhang Biao raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Is this person crazy?"

Butterfly turned his head in the direction of Zhang Biao and nodded, "At that time, Huamao, the deputy director of Nanya, judged that Yelujin died of some kind of poison!"

"Poison!?" Yang Xuanchen and Zhang Biao exclaimed at the same time.

This is inconsistent with the information on the surface. The official statement is that Yelujin suddenly lost his mind and fell to the ground and died suddenly.

Now it was said that he died of poisoning. No matter how you check, the corpse has returned to dust and dust, and you can find a chicken feather.

"If it was poisoning, why didn't you report it at the time?"

Butterfly rolled her eyes at him and continued.

"Report? How to report? After three autopsies of corpses and six replacements, the reason could not be found. Hua Mao also accidentally mentioned it when he was drunk..."

Yang Xuanchen pinched his chin and rubbed it out of habit. What kind of poison could make Dayan's best co-workers unable to find out what kind of poison it was.

Also, which force does the butterfly in front of him belong to? How could even Hua Mao know it when he is drunk?

He did not continue to think about it and continued the topic, "Then what is the biggest purpose of Miss Butterfly coming to me tonight?"

"My adults said that she has no purpose. She just hopes that you won't fly around like a headless fly." Butterfly said and chuckled.

"You should know what happens next. I won't say much more. You can slowly investigate the case. I'll leave first."

After finally getting some clues, how could Yang Xuanchen let her go so easily and held her hand.

"Girl, I have a few more questions to ask!"

With a click, Butterfly's hand immediately slipped out of his palm, with a little annoyance on his face, "You can only ask one question!"

Yang Xuanchen's brain raced rapidly and he asked: "Who is the adult the girl is talking about?"

"Adults are adults, no one else!"

With that she jumped out of the car.

Yang Xuanchen asked her, "When can I see the girl again?"

"I like to eat wontons..."

As the sound gradually disappeared, the butterfly was no longer visible on the street.

"Second brother, do you think Miss Butterfly is an enemy or a friend?"

Zhang Biao curled his lips and looked at Yang Xuanchen as if he was stupid, "The lady gave you news so late at night, do you still think she is an enemy?"

She poked his forehead with her finger and asked, "Is your brain going crazy?"

Yang Xuanchen pushed his hand away and said in a harder tone, "You don't know her identity, how do you know if she was sent by someone to confuse her."

"I don't know how much of what she said is true or false. What if she's here to trick us?"

Zhang Biao muttered when he heard this, "Then you still have so much fun chatting with this girl?"

"It's not about love. She's willing to talk and I'm willing to listen. What's so weird about it? What if what she says is true?" Yang Xuanchen asked in return.

With a snap, Zhang Biao slapped himself on the forehead, "I can see that your brain is really crazy!"

"One moment he said he couldn't be trusted, and the next moment he said what he said was true. He was really a lame man walking topsy-turvy!"

"Stop looking, go home and go to bed."

Zhang Biao patted his shoulder as he spoke, and the two returned to Sanwei Bookstore soon.

The next day, after giving the eldest prince his homework, he originally planned to go to Nanya to find Wu Zuo Huamao to ask about the situation at that time. Unexpectedly, Wu Dahai led him to the imperial study room.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

As soon as he entered the Imperial Study Room, before he could see who was inside, Yang Xuanchen closed his eyes and shouted "Long Live".

"Without courtesy, Xiao Yang, come and meet some adults."

Following Emperor Jianwen's order, Yang Xuanchen raised his head and looked around.

Hey, Liu Qingshan, Li Changliu, Wang Ran, and a few other old men who look very knowledgeable at first glance, what is going on?

"Early this morning, Haiyang Pass came to report that there was another envoy from the Liao Kingdom sent to me, Dayan..."

Liu Qingshan explained to Yang Xuanchen the reason why he asked him to come to the imperial study room.

It turned out that a group of Liao envoys passed Haiyang Pass a few days ago and headed for the capital. They were expected to arrive on the twelfth day of the first lunar month.

"The credential of Bei Liao said that their old queen mother sympathized with the common people and did not want the two countries to go to war again and lead to the destruction of life."

"They want to use fighting to resolve the war at Haiyang Pass!"

This is what Li Changliu said.

Literary fight?

What a fool!

Can a few scholars compare poems and songs to decide whether there will be a war at Haiyang Pass?

Isn’t this the most ridiculous thing in the world?

If I want to beat you, I can beat you for any reason. Otherwise, I can just slap you on the butt and withdraw the troops. Why do we need to have a civil war?

Isn’t this taking off your pants and farting?
