After the rebirth of Madam Hou Clan, her heart was sealed with cement

Chapter 221 Hiding the truth, the conference opens

The shopkeeper adjusted his mood and said slowly.

"That's right, when the envoy arrived at our restaurant, he started bragging, saying that he was an envoy from the Shang Kingdom and asked us to find the best girl in Yichun Garden..."

"Is that girl from Yichun Garden?"

Gu Huaijing frowned, and the shopkeeper shook his head.

"no……"

Seeing this, Gu Huaijing's expression suddenly changed.

The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly, "That girl is still in the inn now. She must have fainted from fright."

"Why didn't you bring it?" Gu Huaijing frowned and looked at the county master.

When Gu Huaijing looked at her, cold sweat broke out on his back, "Sir, the girl is unconscious. It's hard to bring her here. There are government officials watching her."

"it is good."

Gu Huaijing asked some more questions that he wanted to know, and after making sure that the shopkeeper and the people who found the body were fine, he asked them to be sent away.

The messenger's body is now in the government office, and Wu Zuo has examined the body.

Seeing Gu Huaijing, Wu Zuo was a little nervous and said, "Master Gu."

"how?"

If what those people said is true, then the messenger was shot directly in the heart and died, just because he was afraid that there was something else involved.

"Sir, the messenger was indeed stabbed into the heart with a blunt object and died, but the messenger was also poisoned. The poison is also fatal."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Huaijing's expression suddenly changed, "In other words, both groups of people are plotting to kill the envoy?"

Wu Zuo didn't say much, just nodded.

Gu Huaijing realized this and left with Teng Xi.

Not long after, the two came to the scene of the messenger's death. Because the restaurant was not open even after the death, the shopkeeper saw Gu Huaijing coming and hurriedly stepped forward, "Sir, sir, you are here."

The shopkeeper's expression was very flattering, and Gu Huaijing was displeased with this expression.

Teng Xi suddenly stepped forward and put a certain distance between the shopkeeper and Gu Huaijing, "Follow me."

Gu Huaijing went to the bedroom, and Teng Xi took the shopkeeper to inquire about some more detailed matters.

The shopkeeper knew everything about these matters. Teng Xi interrogated him for about half an hour and then returned to Gu Huaijing.

At this moment, Gu Huaijing was still checking the room, and Teng Xi remained silent, "Sir, the shopkeeper probably doesn't know anything, and the diners here are not suspicious either."

"it is good."

Gu Huaijing looked at Teng Xi and pointed at a blood stain on the ground, "Look..."

Teng Xi looked over and felt a headache in an instant.

Gu Huaijing's face was also ugly.

"Sir, isn't this Bichun's poison?"

They were very familiar with this blood stain. Gu Huaijing had been poisoned a long time ago. It didn't take much to figure out that it was done by someone in the court who was afraid of Gu Huaijing. He had become the emperor's most trusted minister at a young age. How many of these people were jealous? of.

Gu Huaijing was well prepared, so even if he was poisoned, he could easily resolve it. He even used his poisoning to eliminate many ministers who had dissent towards the emperor.

Unexpectedly, after many years, this poison appeared again.

Gu Huaijing had conducted a thorough investigation at the beginning, but found nothing. He could not find out who was behind the scenes. It seemed that the truth was about to emerge.

"Sir, it's that person. He has been silent for so many years, and he finally appears."

"Very good, then I will get to know him well this time."

At this point, Gu Huaijing's face was covered with a layer of frost.

Because not many people knew the identity of the envoy, Gu Huaijing discussed with the government officials to conceal the matter and conduct a private investigation. Gu Huaijing went to the palace that day.

The emperor was very angry when he learned about this matter and ordered Gu Huaijing to investigate the matter thoroughly. No matter who it was, even if it was a relative of the emperor, he was not going to let the person behind the scenes go this time. “Your Majesty, please forgive me for talking too much.”

Even though Gu Huaijing was a minister favored by the emperor, he was not an unscrupulous person.

Seeing this, the emperor frowned slightly and said, "Master Gu, I have something to say."

"Weichen speculates that this matter was done by ministers or people in the palace."

Gu Huaijing raised his eyes and looked at the emperor.

When the emperor was silent, Gu Huaijing waited quietly.

Almost a quarter of an hour later, the emperor stood up and came to Gu Huaijing, "We don't know much about the identity of the envoy, and he has an ulterior motive for being able to accurately kill the envoy of the Shang Kingdom."

"I understand your guess."

The emperor sighed, with a hint of probing in his eyebrows, "Do you have someone to suspect?"

Gu Huaijing didn't say much, just nodded.

"Okay, go ahead and do it. No matter who it is, as long as it's not good for the country, you can do it."

"Yes."

Gu Huaijing breathed a sigh of relief and asked Teng Xi to come to him after leaving the palace, "Let's check these people now."

While talking, Gu Huaijing handed the name written in his hand to Teng Xi.

When Teng Xi saw the name above, he instantly turned to stone.

"Sir, sir, are these people suspects?"

Gu Huaijing looked sideways at Teng Xi, and his face was not pretty now.

"Well, let's go."

"Yes."

Fujiki quickly went to check without hesitation.

Gu Huaijing was not idle either. If something happened to the envoy from the Shang Kingdom, other envoys might also be in danger, so he sent out his cronies.

A kind of person protects all messengers, so Gu Huaijing went to read the files.

At that time, Tan Zhixu also returned to the restaurant. Along the way, she had heard that someone died in the restaurant, which was a big deal.

But Tan Zhixu didn't know that the person who died was the envoy of the Shang Kingdom. She was just worried that Gu Huaijing would be very busy next.

Tuoba Yu saw that Tan Zhixu looked wrong and was a little worried, "What's wrong with Miss Tan?"

Hearing Tuoba Yu's words, Tan Zhixu shook his head repeatedly, "It's okay, Brother Tuoba, I just thought of something. Now let's continue with the business conference. It's about to open. Do we have any requests from our envoys?"

"No, as long as we are here for business opportunities, you should have prepared everything, right?"

"Yes."

This Tan Zhixu cannot be denied. After all, the entire capital is making preparations, and everyone wants to make a splash or make a lot of money.

"Okay, then the opening ceremony in these two days will be Brother Lao Tuoba."

"Don't worry, we will definitely support you."

A business conference is similar to a market. It is chosen to be held in the largest venue in the capital, forming a large circle, where all the things brought by envoys from various countries are placed. Both businessmen and ordinary people can go there to choose what they like and business opportunities. Be it objects or objects, everything can be cooperated.

The countermeasures are for local businessmen, and envoys from other countries will go there just to cooperate with local businessmen.

After going through the entire process with Tuobayu, it was getting dark, and Tan Zhixu let him have dinner in a restaurant, where he had the best meal in the Houfu Restaurant.

Tuoba Yu sighed while eating.

"I didn't expect that here I can eat the most authentic food from Nanyu Country. Miss Tan, you are indeed well-deserved for being the most powerful businessman in the capital."

Faced with Tuoba Yu's praise, Tan Zhi lowered his head and chuckled, "You're flattered, but it's just a fluke."
