Tang Xuan

Tang Feiyan's complexion was extremely bad, with dark circles under his eyes. After greeting those high-ranking officials with a cold face, he followed Li Xunlang into his arms and said in a low voice: "Today, the guards outside invited him to have breakfast. I found something wrong. Your Jinwu Guard People still woke up, and immediately closed the Tubo Pavilion, and sent someone to tell me."

"It's just that I don't know who doesn't have eyes, and I was negligent in poking the matter out." Tang Feiyan shook his head and said: "But there are no idlers waiting in the Siyi Pavilion at this time, please rest assured, Your Highness."

"Thank you, Shaoqing." Li Xun stood outside the room where the accident happened with a solemn expression, and said, "What's your job?"

"Your Highness, I'm here." The servant was in his fifties, had a goatee, wore a soap coat, squeezed out from behind carrying a box, bowed and said, "The servant is Xu Hua, the servant of Dali Temple, Your Highness." Please move, wait for the minister to go and see the deputy envoy."

Li Xun let him in sideways, and then went in with Lang Huai.

Sun Chengyun is the deputy envoy of Tubo, so his status is naturally important, and the house he lives in is also very spacious, with a flower hall and a study room, and the bedroom is on the south side.The breakfast brought in by the guards was placed on the table outside, untouched.The overnight tea in the teapot was already cold, Lang Huai walked over to pick it up, looked at it, and said, "Put it away."

A group of people followed in, and Lang Huai said, "Why hasn't the Tubo national teacher come yet? Have you invited him?"

"Back to Captain, please, I should be here right away." Tang Feiyan replied, before he finished speaking, Meng Shen had already entered.

"Your Highness, Captain Lang." Meng Shen was quite sensible and saluted briefly. Li Xun said first: "My palace is very distressed when this happened. Don't worry, the national teacher, Datang will definitely give Vice-Emissary Sun an explanation. Dali Temple The autopsy is underway, the national teacher and the palace will wait for a while."

Meng Shen sighed and said: "Of course I trust Your Highness, but I am really disappointed. I just drank with Mr. Sun at night yesterday, and today he died unexpectedly... I am really afraid."

While they were talking, Xu Hua came out with a silver needle in his hand, and said: "His Royal Highness, Captain, and my lords, this Deputy Envoy died of poisoning, poison was found in his mouth, esophagus, and stomach through his food intake. "

"What poison?" Li Xun asked with a frown.

"Returning to Your Highness, it should be Maqianzi." Xu Hua looked quite admiring, and said, "This poison is colorless and odorless, but it is quite deadly, and the death of the poisoned person is miserable. It seems that the murderer and Deputy Envoy Sun may have a big relationship Otherwise, he would not have committed such a cruel attack. Deputy Envoy Sun probably died last night when Zi and Ugly intersected each other, and there is no trace of injury on his body."

Li Xun wanted to go in and have a look, but was held back by Lang Huai.She shook her head slightly, and said: "Your Highness, Weichen and Wang Shaoqing just go in and have a look."

Taking a deep breath, Lang Huai and Wang Chaoyuan followed Xu Hua into the bedroom and saw Sun Chengyun lying on the bed.Although this man was working for Tubo, his behavior was not vulgar, and his conversation was quite elegant. Lang Huai didn't like it, but he didn't dislike him either.

Now, to die in a foreign land like this, the state of death is indeed terrifying.His eyes protruded, and he waved his hands ferociously, as if trying to grab something.His face is blue.

"Why is the face such a color?" Lang Huaiqiang asked Xu Hua, restraining his uneasiness.

"Oh, Nuxynum is so poisonous that it will make people unable to breathe and suffocate to death. As a result, their complexion turns blue. After a while, it will turn purple." Xu Hua looked at it and said, "Captain, look " He walked up to Sun Chengyun, pointed to the tea stains on his shirt, and said, "Vice Envoy Sun must have been drinking tea. Nuxynum is highly poisonous, and it should take no more than a cup of tea to die from poisoning." , and Deputy Envoy Sun didn't make a sound, the minister has already read it..." Xu Hua hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Someone covered his mouth and nose, and used a quilt, so the Deputy Envoy didn't have any wounds on his neck. There are traces, and no sound can be made." Xu Hua used a long needle to pick out a piece of brocade from Sun Chengyun's nasal cavity, and said, "My lords, this is the evidence."

"Could you find any more clues?" Lang Huai rubbed his temples. It turned out that he had eaten too much breakfast and felt sick in his stomach.That Wang Chaoyuan was like a normal person, which made her admire him.It seems that this matter is not as simple as feeding poison. The poisoner must confirm that Sun Chengyun is dead before leaving. This kind of temper is really cold-blooded.

"To be more specific, we have to carry it back to Dali Temple and have the body dissected." Xu Hua said as if nothing had happened, but Lang Huai showed a look of unbearable expression: "It must be so?"

"The captain doesn't know something, but for this kind of murder case, the clues obtained by such an autopsy are not apparent on the surface." Wang Chaoyuan had already finished turning the room, and was standing by the bed at this time, gesturing: "Deputy Sun To make a man strong, if he wants to hold him firmly when he is poisonous, it must not be done by an ordinary woman. The maid in the Siyi Pavilion should eliminate the suspect."

Lang Huai nodded, and said again: "Master Xu, I will order someone to send the body of Deputy Envoy Sun to you. Please be careful."

"The captain is polite, and I will leave first." When Xu Hua had received such a courtesy, he had a good impression of Lang Huaidun, so he said goodbye and left.

"Wang Shaoqing, you are an expert, can this case be solved?" Lang Huailuo stopped in his tracks and asked him in a low voice.

"It's hard to say. It stands to reason that the guards in the Siyi Pavilion will never have any problems. But I have just asked, and Sun Fushi has no visitors except drinking with Mengshen in the courtyard." Wang Chaoyuan said : "But obviously, the people in Vice Envoy Sun's room before his death knew him, and were even familiar with him. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so relaxed, drinking tea on the bed."

Lang Huai sighed, and said: "The Jinwu guards who are in charge of guarding here will investigate one by one. Wang Shaoqing, I really don't understand the investigation, so I leave this matter to you. I won't tell you, but you also know that this matter is extremely important. I Because of this matter, Datang will become passive in the peace talks, and the case needs to be solved as soon as possible to reverse the timing."

"Captain, I understand." As soon as the two of them spoke, Lang Huaixian said to Meng Shen: "National Teacher, please be sad and obedient. I will enter the palace with His Royal Highness to face the saint, and please go with me. Your Majesty decides I will uphold justice for you!"

Meng Shen didn't expect Lang Huai to say this, so he had to agree.

Emperor Ming was furious when he learned that the Tubo deputy envoy had been poisoned to death in the Siyi Pavilion.How did he not know the great relationship here?Before Li Xun's request to face the saint entered the palace, the Ming Emperor's oral order had already been issued.

It was probably because he hadn't been to the Xuanzheng Hall for a long time, and Emperor Ming was still a little uncomfortable sitting on the high dragon chair.

Before Meng Shen knelt down, Emperor Ming said, "The national teacher is invited. It is Datang who has treated the national teacher badly. There are so many national teachers. I am very grateful."

"Xun'er, as the crown prince of a country, you can arrive immediately this time. Since you have seen it all, let's talk about the situation." Once Emperor Ming said this, anyone who wanted to give Li Xun a hat had to think carefully.

"Yes." Li Xun didn't even look at Li Qian who had just entered the palace, and said, "Vice Envoy Sun had a drink with the Imperial Teacher last night, and the maid escorted him back to his room before leaving."

"Vice Envoy Sun drank the tea from Qian Zi, who was dismounted, and died of poisoning when he met Zi Chou. According to Xu Hua, the priest of Dali Temple, his mouth and nose were covered with a brocade quilt, so that he could not make a sound. Son I think the people in his house are the most important when we find Vice-Emissary Sun's poison." Li Xun said briefly, and then said: "Now the Tubo Mission has moved to the Xinluo Pavilion. The guards of the Eastern Palace and the Jinwu Guards were sent to guard together to prevent further incidents."

"Well done," Emperor Ming nodded, and said, "The Defense Department has also sent additional manpower, so don't raise some people who can eat."

"Yes, I will send someone to the garrison department to inform you later." Li Xun agreed, and said, "I think the matter of investigating the case should be handed over to the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, so that Deputy Envoy Sun can be avenged as soon as possible." Got snow."

Emperor Ming nodded, and said again: "Master, I want to invite you into the palace. My Palace of Longevity is pretty good, what do you think?"

Meng Shen never expected that Emperor Ming would invite him, a Tubo foreign minister, to live in the palace. This is a great courtesy!Meng Shen's already flushed cheeks became even more flushed, and he couldn't speak fluently: "Your Majesty is so... courteous, foreign minister, minister, I am grateful!"

"Father, I'm afraid this is not in accordance with etiquette." Li Qian hurriedly said, "The status of the national teacher is important, but it is true... My minister is willing to set up a separate courtyard in the mansion..."

"It's okay, I also want to get closer to the national teacher, this matter is settled, there is no need to discuss it again." Ming Huang waved his hand, and said to Lang Huai: "Lang Huai, the peace talks should be slow in advance, and we will discuss it after the murderer is found out." Not too late."

"My minister complies with the decree." Lang Huai let out a long sigh of relief. If there are peace talks in the next few days, wouldn't Tang just be passive?

"Father, my son has something to say." Li Qian rolled his eyes and said to Emperor Ming.

Emperor Ming nodded, motioning for him to continue.Li Qian turned around and looked at Lang Huai. His tone was gentle, but his words were compelling: "This king was with Deputy Envoy Sun yesterday afternoon. The scenery in Chang'an is just right, and this king invited the national teacher and Deputy Envoy Sun." , go out to the city to play together."

"National teacher, is this king's statement true?" Li Qian asked, Meng Shen nodded, and said: "After talking yesterday morning, I received a message from His Highness Huai Wang. Vice-envoy Sun and I were feeling depressed. Glad to accept the appointment. The scenery of Chang'an is really beautiful, which makes people forget their worries."

"National teacher, if you don't participate in the peace talks, you will leave it to Deputy Envoy Sun. Everyone knows about this." Li Qian waved his right hand and said, "I have listened to what Deputy Envoy Sun said personally. During the two peace talks, Deputy Envoy Sun There was a quarrel with Captain Lang, and yesterday morning, the captain even spoke harsh words to each other, which was very rude. However, Deputy Envoy Sun died unexpectedly at night, but I don’t know what explanation did Captain Lang give?"

Lang Huai sneered inwardly, Li Qian was just trying to get himself involved by starting the fire.Little did they know that Emperor Ming knew about this a long time ago, but he was not able to control it. "Since Your Highness knows it, I will not hide it. Tubo wants to make peace with me, Tang Dynasty, that's all. But he insists on making peace with Sizi, which is tolerable or unbearable. I will reject Deputy Envoy Sun for the sake of This matter. But it is not contradicting. Could it be that His Highness felt that there was something wrong with protecting his fiancée?"

Li Qian didn't expect Lang Huai to be eloquent, and was deceived by her usual serious appearance. He cursed secretly, but on his face he was kind: "Captain, please explain well. The one who has a problem with Deputy Envoy Sun is nothing more than You, this king is daring, but I don't know where you were last night?"

Lang Huai snorted coldly, and said: "Yesterday, I ordered people to go to Changlefang to buy wine and send it to Weiyang Residence. After the matter is finished, I will go to see Sizi. The deputy leader of the Jinwu Guard, the third child, was a guest in Mugong's mansion yesterday, so the sky will be dark. Take a rest and go back to the mansion, Sizi went back with me."

Lang Huai cupped his hands at Emperor Ming and said: "Your Majesty has clearly observed that Weichen and Sizi have never avoided suspicion. Please forgive me. Sizi wanted to see Deputy Chief Lu, so he insisted on following. The three of Weichen were drinking and chatting together in the mansion. Later, Weichen was completely drunk, and it should have been Haishi. I didn't know anything about what happened after that. When I woke up early in the morning, I went to my mother's place to say hello and had breakfast, and then I learned about the assassination of Deputy Envoy Sun."

"I asked myself if there is anything wrong, it's nothing more than drinking at night with Sizi, and Meng Lang got a little bit." Lang Huai poked his neck, and said, "Although Weichen and Deputy Envoy Sun had a quarrel, it was just a business matter and not personal. To Huai His Majesty Wang's such slanderous words, this humble minister is not ashamed."

"Lang Huai, you are so bold." When Li Qian was humiliated like this, he said sharply, "Are you still a man, using your son as an excuse?"

Lang Huai stood up straight and sighed: "Why do you need Sizi as an excuse? Your Highness doesn't believe me, so I just send someone to invite Sizi alone."

"Shut up." Emperor Ming said angrily, "Prince Huai, do you think that Mingda will deliberately ruin his reputation by lying for her? But in order to explain to the Tibetan mission, let's go to Weiyang residence to call Mingda. , don’t tell her these things.”

"It's not too early, pass on the meal, and everyone will use it here." Emperor Ming looked at Li Qian with disappointment in his eyes, but Li Qian was not convinced, with his head held high and his chest held high, unwilling to bow his head.
