Princess, please respect yourself!

Chapter 387 Funeral in the Hou Mansion
"Master Hou, Master Hou..." Early in the morning, I heard Zuo Xiaochan shouting loudly outside the courtyard door, as if there was something important.

People who are not from the inner courtyard are not allowed to enter this courtyard. Zuo Xiaochan is just the housekeeper, so naturally he cannot come in and out at will. After all, the courtyard is filled with female relatives.

If this disturbs me, it's hard to say.

"What's the matter?" The amount of exercise last night was a bit heavy, and with a spiritual connection, Luo Xing and Qingyi made great progress, so they couldn't help but sleep a little.

"Master Marquis, the Marquis of Yunyang's Mansion sent news that Madam Yunyang Marquis is not alive. Please go there quickly!" Zuo Xiaochan said.

"Wait a moment, I'll be there soon." Luo Xing lifted up the quilt, sat up, and ordered.

Qin Zhong's movements were so fast that he had to choose this time. However, it was understandable that the time of death was also particular.

It's difficult to find someone early in the morning. Once you lose time, then...

Luo Xing and Qingyi hurriedly freshened up and then drove to the Yunyang Hou Mansion. As soon as they entered the house, they saw a sad atmosphere in the mansion.

White cloth and other things were already being prepared, and the mourning hall was erected as soon as Lin Xiaorou took her last breath.

In the backyard, Luo Xing saw many familiar people.

Except for Xin Yezi, the other two people don't like him very much. People from Yaowang Valley and Royal Pharmacy Bureau don't like him. It probably has something to do with his so-called "original master", Yao Demon disciple, Brother Poison Doctor, Luo Xing has never admitted these, but he has not denied them either.

But the drug demon has a relationship with both families, and the poison doctor also has a grudge against both families. Luo Xing's suspected identity makes both families suspicious, but no one from the two families dares to provoke them easily.

Firstly, behind Luo Xing is Nanya, who himself is still a second-class marquis. Secondly, they are not stealing their jobs. He does not make a living by treating diseases and saving people. There is no direct conflict of interest. If they are jealous, Targeting, it might have the opposite effect.

Yaowang Valley has been passed down for thousands of years, how can it be so ignorant and demented?
As for the Royal Pharmacy Bureau, it is a medical institution. If it dares to challenge a special violent authority like Nanya, it is not because of its own discomfort.

Therefore, the three parties are now maintaining a restrained attitude and trying not to offend the river.

This is good. No one wants to be surrounded by trouble all day long. It's hard to get through that day. Even if the protagonist is shown, there are not so many targets. It's just the brains of some authors.

But now all three are outside.

"Lord Luo."

"Master Xia." Luo Xing cupped his hand slightly. If he followed the legend, Xia Yuanli would have called himself "Uncle Master".

The people from the Sun family in Yaowang Valley turned their heads away and didn't even bother to say hello.

However, Xin Yezi from Lingguan Hall cupped his hand and said warmly: "Marquis Yunyang said that Madam will not see anyone, she only wants to see Mr. Luo."

"see me?"

"Maybe it's because Mr. Luo trusts her in diagnosing her disease before, or it may be for other reasons. Anyway, we were all invited by Marquis Yunyang, but Mrs. Marquis Yunyang refuses to see me, so there is nothing we can do." Xin Yezi said.

Luo Xing understood that Lin Xiaorou was not in trouble at all. He could get away with it before, but once he could, it would be difficult again. This time, finding an excuse to refuse to see him was an extremely clever way to deal with it.

After all, when a member of the Yunyang Hou family was dying, not calling a doctor would definitely arouse suspicion, and calling only Luo Xing would not work either.

This is Marquis Yunyang, no, it should be Lin Xiaorou's idea. Marquis Yunyang cannot control people's hearts in such a delicate way.

It seems that Tianlang Pass has always been as stable as a mountain over the years. It is not all Qin Zhong's credit, but the wisdom of Mrs. Yunyang Marquis.

"Has Luo Hou arrived?"

Marquis Yunyang came out of the house and saw Luo Xing. He immediately stepped forward and pulled him in, showing that the relationship was extraordinary.

Others see it, whether they are jealous or have other thoughts, there is nothing they can do.

"Brother, you moved so fast, I was really unprepared..."

"It's better not to be prepared. If you are prepared, people will see your flaws." Marquis Yunyang said in a low voice.

"What Xiaorou means is that if all the corpses of death row prisoners are used to disguise the disguise, it will easily lead to flaws. She will have to pretend to be dead for a while, at least until she is put into the coffin." Marquis Yunyang explained.

"But in this case, my sister-in-law will have to lie in the coffin for several days. This is too unfair." Luo Xing said.

"It doesn't matter, you and I are both martial arts practitioners, we can do it."

"Has sister-in-law ever practiced Turtle Breathing Kung Fu?" Luo Xing asked.

"Well, she does know this skill. Brother Xian knows it." Marquis Yunyang said, "But Xiaorou told you."

"When I was diagnosing my sister-in-law's pulse, I discovered that there was a strange force in her body that could slow down the spread of her injuries. I didn't expect it to be the turtle breath technique. It seems that this technique of pretending to be dead and holding one's breath is not what it seems to outsiders. So useless." Luo Xing explained.

"Oh, I really know this." Yunyang Hou was surprised. He had also practiced Turtle Breathing Technique, but it was for holding one's breath in water. Who would have thought that it could have such an effect. In other words, no one would I wouldn't think about it this way.

"If my sister-in-law goes, how many days will my brother plan to stay in Luojing?"

"Three days, five days at most."

"Then my sister-in-law will suffer for three days." Luo Xing sighed.

"If there is nothing we can do about it, if the death row prisoner disguises himself, the people who come to express condolences will see it." Marquis Yunyang said.

"Brother, the decoration of the mourning hall needs to be fully considered. Too many people should not disturb my sister-in-law." Luo Xing said.

"My dear brother is thoughtful..."

"What are you two muttering about? I'm not dead yet?" Lin Xiaorou's voice came, and the two of them hurriedly walked inside.

This room has been fully decorated with jade spirit charms and is soundproofed. The sounds inside cannot be heard outside.

"Seventh brother is here. I asked my old Qin to arrange this matter this morning. Don't be surprised. I feel that since we are going to implement this adventurous plan, we cannot follow the plan step by step. We must fight quickly, even if there is If any news is leaked, when Nanchu gets the news, it will be too late to react," Lin Xiaorou said.

"Sister-in-law, what you said makes sense, but we still haven't thought it through enough. Now that this matter has been decided, we must go all out and leave no room for hindsight." Luo Xing nodded.

"Have you found a death row inmate similar to me?"

"This is not difficult. Nanya doesn't have it. You can look for it elsewhere and you can always find the right one." Luo Xing said, it is too easy to use state machinery.

"Who will disguise himself?"

"Eunuch Wang, who is the Supervisor of Ceremonies, is also a master of disguise. If he takes action, it will be difficult for people to see the flaws." Luo Xing had already thought of the candidate, and now that Emperor Yongxi has authorized it, there is no problem.

"When will it start?"

"Your Majesty should know the news soon. Let's start tonight." Luo Xing thought for a moment and said.

"Row."

"After I leave, let's announce it in the afternoon. This will also give the outside world a little buffer time." Luo Xing said, "It's best for my sister-in-law not to see the three people outside, so as not to be exposed."

"I know this, but if you don't call them, it will trigger speculation from the outside world." Lin Xiaorou nodded. "There will be a decree from Beiya today. Ten thousand forbidden troops will march to Lingzhou. The deputy commander is Qingyi." Luo Xing said.

"Qingyi has been transferred to another post. Can't Nanya not be transferred to other posts easily?"

"Temporarily, the commander of these [-] forbidden troops is my sister-in-law." Luo Xing explained, "The purpose of stationing these [-] forbidden troops in Tianlang Pass is nominally to monitor the Tianlang Army. In fact, it is to prevent Xirong from taking the opportunity to attack the southeast when the imperial court uses troops. Make trouble in the northwest."

"The court doesn't trust Xirong?"

"Trust is only mutual respect. The Xirong people were obviously forced to sign a peace agreement with me, Da Zhou, due to the situation."

"Did something happen on the Western Continent?"

"Well, the civil war in the Western Continent is almost over. Once the civil war is over, it's hard to say whether to recuperate or expand eastward. Xirong is located on the transportation corridor between the east and west continents, and its geographical location is very important. But it is also the most vulnerable to infringement, and the relationship between Xirong and the Western Continent is not good, so it cannot offend both sides. If one day, the two sides come together and destroy it directly, that will be good." Luo Xing said.

"It's impossible..."

"The possibility is very small, but Xirong has to consider it, and they also have to feed thousands of people in the country. The wolf master of Xirong is a heroic leader. His ambitions are not limited to the plateau occupied by Xirong now. I guess, he It is very likely that the strategy this time is to go west," Luo Xing said.

"Going west and invading the Western Continent seems a bit impossible."

"No one can tell for sure now. Anyway, everything is speculative, but we still have to be on guard. Even if we sign a peace agreement, we still have to be on guard against what we should be on guard against."

"Brother Xiaoqi is right. I am going to the southeast now because I am afraid that it will be difficult to return to the northwest in the future. Alas, after so many years of hard work, it would be a blessing if I could take a break and spend the rest of my life in peace.

"Brother, sister-in-law, I have to leave. There are still many things in the yamen waiting for me to go back and deal with."

"I send you."

"No, brother, please accompany your sister-in-law." Luo Xing raised his hand to stop him.

Luo Xing walked out alone.

Immediately attracting the attention of the three people in the yard, they all moved closer to each other. Xin Yezi asked: "Master Luo, how are you? How is Mrs. Yunyang Hou?"

"The lamp has run out, and there is nothing I can do." Luo Xing said helplessly with a regretful tone, "If you have any idea, can you go in and give it a try?"

"Master Luo's ability to bring the dead back to life can't save Madam Yunyang Hou, so wouldn't we be even more powerless?" Xia Yuanli smiled sarcastically.

Sun Donglin didn't speak. He didn't dare to go in. If the result was the same, wouldn't it just make people laugh?
As for Master Xinyezi, his medical skills rely on spiritual skills, and his methods are more limited than those of doctors. The available methods have been used. If they were effective, he would not wait until now.

"In this case, there is no use for me to stay, so why not leave, so as not to cause trouble to the master's family?"

"Yes, but I have to say hello to Marquis Yunyang..."

"Everyone, please come back. I will definitely give you something later!" Marquis Yunyang walked out of the back room with a tired look on his face.

"Take care, Lord Marquis, I'll take my leave!"

……

"Sir, Elder Yunyou of Tianlan Sect wants to visit Si Miaomiao who is imprisoned in our prison?" When he returned to Nanya, Wu Jiong came to report.

"It's okay to arrange for them to meet. Si Miaomiao is at best an accessory, not a principal offender. Even if he is convicted, the punishment in the future will not be too severe." Luo Xing ordered.

"When then?"

"Inform Mr. Zhou in the Black Prison and arrange it for tomorrow morning."

"clear."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Wang Miao, please come over. I have something to ask him." Luo Xing ordered again. He couldn't take care of the assassination case of the fourth prince of Xirong now. The investigation work needs to be left to Wang Miao.

It's not that he doesn't care about Ye Liuli's affairs, but that he has to be busy with more important things, and his time and energy cannot be distracted.

Based on the existing evidence, Ye Liuli's crime of planning and instructing Fang Tianfu and others to assassinate the fourth prince of Xirong is not established.

But the assassination did happen after all. It is impossible to pretend that nothing happened. The best way is for Tianlan Sect to negotiate with Xirong.

Anyway, if they were sentenced according to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, Fang Tianfu and others would at least be sentenced to a tattoo and then be sent to the army.

Even for the sake of the Tianlan Sect, there is no need for tattoos, and the army is still required, but if Xirong understands.

You can take it lightly.

In this way, the pressure will be put on Xirong.

As for someone disguising themselves as Su Manqing and forging Ye Liuli's secret order, this is another case.

If Xirong insists on pursuing the case, then Dazhou can impose a harsher sentence. Anyway, the evidence of the assassination is conclusive and irrefutable. The case is judged according to the law. No matter how overbearing the Tianlan Sect is, it cannot be blamed on the Dazhou court. Otherwise, When word spreads, the one who gets a bad reputation is the Tianlan Sect itself.

Although the Holy Land is full of dirty things behind its back, it still wants to face it.

"Yes, my lord."

"Lord Luo, you're looking for me." Wang Miao's attitude was very low. He knew that Luo Xing was not the kind of person who liked to exercise authority and exercise power. Moreover, he liked delegating power the most. This kind of boss was better than the people he had in the Staff Department. Much better, and most importantly, he doesn't take credit from his subordinates.

Although he did want to be close to Zhuo Chunfeng when he joined Yan Fang, he still had some scholarly ideals in his heart and didn't want to spend time in the Staff Department.

Although the Chief of Staff made suggestions for His Majesty's military operations, the key was whether His Majesty would use them or not. His ideas were even rejected by Sima Lun before they could be brought before His Majesty.

Nanya's Staff Department has become more and more like a retired and idle department. How many of the real generals who lead troops outside fight the war according to the plans formulated by the Staff Department?

The General Staff Department may only be able to exert its real effect if it is merged into the Bei Yamen. However, leaving the General Staff Department to be independent in the South Yamen was a choice made to weigh the pros and cons for fear that the Beiya Yamen would have too much power.

In peacetime, separation is not a big problem, and they can control and supervise each other. Once a war breaks out, especially a national war, the disadvantages will be huge.

It’s just that no one dared to touch the system established by the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, so it remains today.

"Master Wang, I may have to leave for a while, and I will leave the work of the Investigation Department to you. You will also take over the case at hand." Luo Xing gave the order directly.

"Ah, sir, you are leaving again..." Wang Miao was a little surprised.

"Haha, I'm not here. Isn't this a good thing for you? Why are you surprised?" Luo Xing joked.

"Lord Luo, please don't dig a hole for me, I can't help it." Wang Miao sneered.

"Okay, I didn't dig a hole for you. I really have to leave for a period of time. It's hard to say how long it will be. So, you have the final say in the Investigation Department, but you have to watch over me and don't mess around. Do you understand? Luo Xing warned seriously.

"Don't worry, Mr. Luo, your subordinates have this intention but don't have the courage," Wang Miao said hurriedly.
