Fu Tang

Li Congjia didn't understand why Li Jingda left such a sentence before he finally left, but he knew that Li Jingda would definitely not leave such a sentence for no reason, so he turned his head to look at Shi Xueting and asked, "Uncle Huang once went to Chunfeng building?"

Shi Xueting was slightly taken aback: "I don't know either, I'll ask someone to investigate immediately."

Although the intelligence department is said to be all-pervasive, it doesn't mean that they will even record whether Li Jingda has been to the brothel, and when he went to the brothel. If this is the case, the courtiers may really panic. At that time, the ministers will definitely not let the intelligence no longer exists.

Li Congjia nodded, there are too many doubts about this matter.

The most important thing is Chunfenglou. Li Congjia has paid more attention to this place recently than in the past ten years. First, the Japanese princess ran to the brothel for no reason and did not show up. Then Li Jingda had heart failure for no reason.

Shi Xueting didn't send anyone to make an unannounced visit this time either. After all, Li Jingda said this clearly, which means there must be something wrong. He went directly to the door and talked with Li Songmi for a while.

Regarding this matter, Li Song has always been secretive, but he did not hide anything in front of Shi Xueting, and said directly: "Indeed, Dad has been to Chunfeng Tower before, and after returning from Chunfeng Tower, his physical condition is not very good. Well, later it was more..."

When Li Song said this, there was a flash of hatred in his eyes. Although he is the son of the king of Chu, with the degree of Li Congjia's protection of his family, he may not be downgraded to the rank of noble in the future, but this does not mean that he wants his own father To die, especially this way.

Shi Xueting asked: "Why didn't you say it before?"

Li Song was a little ashamed: "This...it's really not good to say it. My father and I are worried that it will discredit His Majesty."

Indeed, after going to the brothel, his body collapsed when he came back. I'm afraid that no matter who he is, he will have romantic associations, and maybe he will think that Li Jingda is old-hearted, and this is not too much.

Shi Xueting shook his head: "There is something strange about this matter, His Majesty has asked me to investigate it, don't worry, if there is really a problem, no matter what, the former King of Chu will not be wronged and go away."

Li Song heaved a sigh of relief. In fact, he had been wanting to investigate for a long time. Although his family members felt that it was not pleasant to talk about it, Li Song was not stupid. How could he not know the symptoms of the real wind?And immediately the wind usually dies at the time, how could it happen after you come back?

It's just that he can't go to investigate, and his mother also pulls him to prevent him from going. Everyone is worried that if he really goes to investigate with great fanfare, he will not find any real evidence, but will push Chu Palace to the forefront. Li Jingda I am afraid that the reputation of a lifetime will be lost at the end of the year.

Now that Li Congjia took action himself, Li Song really relaxed a lot, he knew that his cousin would not fail to see such an obvious problem.

Li Song said a little excitedly: "Go ahead and investigate, if you need me to do anything, just come to me, no matter what, I will find the murderer who killed Dad!"

Shi Xueting asked again in detail: "Did the previous king get sick when he got home, or did he get sick after two days?"

Li Song recalled it carefully and said: "I remember that when my father came back home, he felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't take it to heart at the time, because the Ping'an pulse just diagnosed two days ago, there was no problem, he I didn't take it too seriously, but from that day on, Dad's physical condition became worse and worse, and later he found a doctor, and it turned out..."

Li Song's expression was a little sad, he even thought that if Li Jingda felt unwell at that time, would it be better for them to ask a doctor to check his pulse?

After Shi Xueting comforted him a few words, he asked some more details, and then he left the Chu Palace, which was shrouded in sadness, but he didn't return to the palace immediately, but went to the intelligence department, and asked his servant to say: "Go and check, have all the people on this list been to Chunfenglou before?"

When chatting with Li Song just now, Shi Xueting had been trying to connect the recent events together in his mind. He always felt that since Prince Fu Zi Nei came, there seemed to be an invisible undercurrent surging in the whole Chang'an move.

He didn't know if Li Jingda's death had something to do with Prince Fuzinei, maybe it was just a coincidence, but...whether it was a coincidence or not should be known after the people below find out.

Shi Xueting didn't immediately tell Li Congjia his guess, but only said that he suspected that there was something wrong with Chunfeng Building, but Li Congjia's first reaction was: "Is there a problem before, or did it happen after Prince Fu Zi Nei entered?"

Shi Xueting shook his head slowly, he had never paid attention to Chunfeng Building before, after all, what is the national teacher doing all the time staring at Chunfeng Building when he has nothing to do?

Two days later, the people below sent news to Shi Xueting: Those little gentlemen who are currently bedridden had indeed been to Chunfeng Building before they fell ill.

Of course, the reason why there is no publicity is also because the family thinks this matter is too embarrassing-going to a brothel and wilting everyone, it is really not pleasant to say it.

After Li Congjia knew about it, he immediately asked, "Are their illnesses serious?"

Shi Xueting looked at the results of the investigation and said, "It doesn't look too serious, it's just that I won't be able to support it for a while."

Li Congjia stroked his chin and said, "I don't know if there is a problem with the whole Chunfeng Building, or with some prostitutes."

Shi Xueting said: "These people have a common characteristic that they have all been to the Green Bamboo Garden in Chunfeng Building. After they came out, they started to get sick to varying degrees when they returned home, and some even fell ill on the spot. As for what happened in the Green Bamboo Garden What, I don't know yet."

Li Congjia suddenly turned to look at Shi Xueting: "I don't know? They won't say?"

Shi Xueting nodded: "I don't know what kind of drug Chunfenglou gave them, and they refused to tell one or two."

Of course, this means that these people's backgrounds are not ordinary. If they are really ordinary people, and Shi Xueting takes them to the intelligence department, he doesn't believe that these people can really resist.

Li Congjia frowned and said, "Since you don't want to say anything, how about... let's go and have a look?"

Shi Xueting was a little surprised: "What?"

Li Congjia said as a matter of course: "Now all our evidence is based on speculation. Although it is logically correct, it is difficult to arrest people without real evidence."

Shi Xueting looked at him speechlessly: "Even if you want evidence, you can send someone else. What are you going to do? Even if you get the evidence, is it nice for the majestic emperor to go to the brothel and tell it?"

Li Congjia pouted and said, "I'm just curious."

curious?Even if you talk about flowers, Shi Xueting will definitely not agree. He would rather find a few subordinates and give them a large amount of subsidies to let them go than to put Li Congjia in danger.

However, sometimes a matter is not based on personal will. Shi Xueting didn't want Li Congjia to go, but in the end Li Congjia still had to go—Prince Fu Zi Nei actually sent an invitation to Li Congjia.

When Li Congjia received the invitation, he was a bit Spartan: "Is this woman mentally ill?"

The majestic princess invited the emperors of other countries to the brothel?What is this for?Li Congjia felt weird no matter how he looked at it.

Shi Xueting said with a cold face: "No, since she voluntarily exposed her identity, then the Chunfeng Building will also be sealed up."

Faced with this level of conspiracy, Shi Xueting's method is very simple and rude. Didn't you set up a trap there for us to fall into?Not only will we not go, but we will blow up the trap directly to see what else you can do.

Li Congjia doesn't care. Although he said he would go to see it on a whim before, he said it in private. If he really went, it would be a private visit on Weibo, just to satisfy his personal bad taste. This kind of banquet has risen to a formal invitation , Putting it in that kind of place, it's impossible for him to go, it's too cheap.

Li Congjia's refusal seemed to be within Prince Fuzi's expectation. After the refusal was let go, and the Ministry of Justice sent people to surround the Chunfeng Building, Prince Fuzi changed the invitation to another place—— It was a residential house in Chang'an City, located in a wealthy area.

Of course, this so-called wealthy area is actually a business area at its root. The real high-end community in Chang'an is not here, but the place where some wealthy businessmen live.

After seeing it, Li Congjia said with a half-smile: "They are really cunning rabbits, this place...maybe it was owned by the Japanese before?"

Shi Xueting's face was a bit ugly. His intelligence department claimed to have a pervasive network, but he never knew about it.

But it’s not their fault. The businessman is a very ordinary middle-level businessman with a moderate fortune and a pure Datang person. If they want to contact Japan, they really may not be able to know.

Li Congjia closed the invitation and said, "Go."

Shi Xueting did not persuade Li Congjia this time. Li Congjia's refusal to go to the previous banquet place can be said to be his self-esteem, and the place is not suitable. He refused even ordinary people.

Now Prince Fuzinei has changed to another place. Although it is not that high-end, it is a decent and innocent family. If Li Congjia does not go again, I am afraid that the Japanese will laugh at him in his own country and in his own capital. up.

What's more, Li Congjia really wanted to know that Prince Auxiliary came to Datang anonymously and stayed in Chunlou for several days, and now he suddenly invited him to a banquet in a serious manner, which is really strange matter.

The more Li Congjia thought about it, the more puzzled he became, he turned his head and said, "No, let's not go there, tell Prince Fuzinei that I will hold a banquet to entertain her."

Li Congjia just remembered, why should he be led by the nose by this woman?She is the outsider, the visitor is a guest, and it is Li Congjia who should treat her.

Of course, if it was the past, Li Congjia would definitely not choose to invite Prince Fuzinei, or Prince Fuzinei's level is not high enough for him to invite such a serious matter.

After thinking about it, Li Congjia said, "Let Dalang come."

At any rate, Prince Fukoko can be regarded as a representative of Japan. Even if he doesn't think highly of Japan, he should still have the proper etiquette. After all, they are a country of etiquette, and letting the prince go is already considered a face for the other party.

The only thing that worries Li Congjia is whether Dalang will follow Prince Fuzinei's way?

Shi Xueting shook his head and said, "Da Lang is too young, this woman is a bit strange."

Speaking of this, Shi Xueting also wanted to sigh, it is really inconvenient without a queen, otherwise this kind of thing will be left to the queen.

Li Congjia simply patted the table: "Forget it, let someone prepare it at Jin Hualuo."

If you're not in Linde Palace, it's not so serious, just let Li Congjia's whim come up.

After receiving the invitation, Prince Fuzinai actively informed the officials who notified her that she would definitely come there on time.

Three days later, Prince Fuzinei came to Jinhualuo under the leadership of officials. Although the banquet this time was not so formal in terms of location, it was very large in terms of participants—the important officials from the cabinet and the six ministries almost They're all here, if it wasn't for Li Congjia's strict order to prohibit more people from participating, maybe the whole Jinhualuo wouldn't be able to let them go!

But it's not that these people value Prince Fuzinei so much, they are just guessing whether the death of the King of Chu and the collective illness of the children of high-ranking officials are related to Prince Fuzinei.

When Li Congjia asked Shi Xueting to investigate, everyone knew about the closure of Chunfeng Building, and soon they thought of their own children.

So the people who came here wanted to see how divine this woman was.

Li Congjia was still a little surprised when he saw Prince Fuzinai. As far as he knows, the costumes of Japanese women in this era are really... I don’t agree. Maybe people think it’s beautiful, but Li Congjia thinks it’s white like a ghost. The same face is not attractive.

And if Prince Fuko was not wearing Japanese costumes, he would look no different from a woman from the Tang Dynasty. Whether it is hairstyle or makeup, they are the most popular styles nowadays.

This surprised him very much. Could it be that this woman lurked in the brothel for so long just to learn Datang's makeup?

After Prince Fuzinai walked in with her maids, he bowed down to Li Congjia Yingying, and said in a soft voice: "The Seventh Emperor of Japan, Fuzi, has seen His Majesty the Emperor of Tang."

Li Congjia said calmly, "Prince Fuzinei doesn't need to be too polite."

After Prince Fuzinei stood up, he closed his chin, but aimed his eyes upwards, secretly glanced at Li Congjia, and then smiled subtly.

I have to say that Prince Fuzinei is really good-looking, not the glamorous type, but it makes people feel very comfortable, his eyes are also watery, and when he looks at people, he seems to have a thousand words ready to break through. out.

I just don't know why, Li Congjia always feels a little uncomfortable, but he can't say exactly what is uncomfortable.

After Prince Fu Zi Nei was seated, the first dance was naturally. After watching this dance, Li Congjia felt better.

He listened attentively to the conversation between Li Zhongyu and Prince Fuzinei. Although the conversation was basically a mutual test, but after a long time of testing, neither of them got any useful information. Friction, both of them deliberately avoided.

After all, this occasion is not a good place to talk about these important things, not to mention that neither of them can make decisions for their respective countries, and even if they talk about it, they probably won't get any useful information.

Li Congjia listened for a long time, and finally had to confirm that his son Li Zhongyu did not seem to be an opponent of Prince Fuzinei, and of course he could not say that he was not an opponent. Get any news out of Li Zhongyu's mouth.

Probably the two could be regarded as evenly matched, but considering Prince Fu Zi Nei is 21 years old this year, and Li Zhongyu is 15 years old this year, Li Congjia feels that his son is more promising.

However, Li Zhongyu, who was seen by Li Congjia as more promising, was a little anxious at this time. He thought it would not be difficult to deal with such a woman who grew up in the harem, but the facts proved that even a woman should not be underestimated. No matter how he insinuated, Prince Fuzi Nei went around in circles to avoid the real information.

In the end, Li Zhongyu simply asked directly: "I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Nei used to visit Chunfeng Tower, but how does His Highness Prince Nei feel about Chunfeng Tower?"

Prince Fuzi was surprised for a moment, she didn't expect Li Zhongyu to ask this question so bluntly, but Li Congjia nodded secretly beside him.

Sometimes being straightforward is not a bad thing, especially when you have a certain strength and are stronger than the other party, relying on this strength is enough for him to get the information he wants, and there is no need to go around with the other party.

If the strengths of the two parties are similar, sometimes straightforwardness is also a way to disrupt the opponent's pace.

Prince Auxiliary said with a smile, "Chunfeng Building is a good place. There is the best makeup girl there. I learned a lot from her. Unfortunately, when I went there later, I found that the Chunfeng Building was empty. I don’t know if His Royal Highness knows what happened to Chunfeng Tower?”

This time it was Li Zhongyu's turn to be numb, how could he tell the truth?

So Li Zhongyu just said: "It's no big deal. Most of the people in the Spring Breeze Building are family members of criminal officials. They have to be checked every year. The inner prince should not be too surprised."

Prince Fuzi raised his eyebrows slightly, and Li Zhongyu realized that the woman's two eyebrows seemed to be completely painted on at this time, and he couldn't help but feel a little weird.

Just when he was thinking about how to continue to talk to Prince Fuzinei, Prince Fuzinei suddenly stood up and raised his glass and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, you have always been a hero I admire. I don't know if I have the honor to toast you." liquor?"

Hero... Li Congjia has never heard anyone say that he is a hero in two lifetimes, and it is a bit new for a while, but he has passed the age where he would be excited by such a false name, he just raised his glass calmly and said with a smile: "Of course you can." .”

After the two drank the wine in their glasses, Prince Fuko said: "The singing and dancing of the Tang Dynasty is indeed the best in the world, which makes me admire. However, our Japanese singing and dancing are not inferior. A chance to dance for my hero?"

After Li Congjia heard this, he put down his wine glass calmly. He knew that Prince Fuzinei would definitely not willingly come here to eat and drink and then be driven away. He thought that Prince Fuzinei would talk to him directly, but he didn't expect She actually wants to perform a dance?

To be honest, the princess of a country asked to perform a dance, which is a bit of a loss of value, but considering the national strength of the two countries, everyone thinks that this matter seems logical, and many people even speculate that what Prince Fuzinai did was for the sake of the marriage. Li Congjia showed herself in front of her, maybe she was targeting Li Congjia's harem.

However, Li Congjia didn't think so, the eyes that Prince Fukoko looked at him didn't look like he was looking at the right person, but he still said: "I have heard that Japanese singing and dancing are different, if so, there is Prince Launet. "

Prince Auxiliary smiled slightly, stood up and took off the coat on his body, revealing the silk clothes inside. This dress looked a bit strange, neither Tang style nor Japanese style, but Li Congjia noticed, There are many more ornaments with bells on her wrists and ankles.

Although Prince Fuzinei said she was going to perform the dance, she did not perform the dance alone, but brought her maids to perform the dance together, and her maids, without exception, also carried some a bell.

Li Congjia glanced at Shi Xueting calmly, and Shi Xueting nodded to him, meaning that he was watching, Li Congjia finally felt relieved.

The musician brought by Prince Fuzi Nei played the yueqin in his hand. As soon as the tone came out, Li Congjia felt that the style of the music was not Japanese, but a bit like Kucha music.

I have to say that the visual experience brought by the fast dancing of nearly ten young girls below is pretty good, especially since these girls don't wear much, and every movement makes a certain part of the body looming, looking very glamorous.

However, the more fragrant she is, the more vigilant Li Congjia is.

As the rhythm of the music became faster and faster, the movements of Prince Fuzinei and her maids also became faster and faster, and the frequency of the bells on their bodies naturally also increased.

At first, it felt a little new, but gradually Li Congjia suddenly felt his face was burning, his breathing was a little short, and even his heart was beating faintly to the beat of those bells.

The situation is not right!

Not only was his situation wrong, some of the ministers present even showed various ugly gestures, and some of them simply left the table and ran to the field to pull a woman over in order to do something wrong.

Li Congjia clenched his fists tightly, only feeling blood in front of his eyes, and at this moment, he suddenly heard a clear and loud noise.

Then Shi Xueting yelled: "Presumptuous!"
