Chapter 417 Who Killed the Heavenly Wolf Envoy

Feng Mingqian had no way to defend himself. He looked at this and that and just gave up.

Feng Mingqian, the envoy of Nan'an State, spread his hands, ready to be slaughtered.

"I have never left, nor have I gone to the bathroom. Now I am under suspicion and cannot defend myself. Your Majesty, please send someone to search me."

Such a poison that kills the throat immediately after it enters the mouth must have some kind of packaging, right?

He has never left. As long as it is really him, we should be able to find something no matter what, right?

Fu Zhonghai nodded, and immediately his personal guards came forward to search him.

Feng Mingqian was thoroughly touched, not even a hair was spared.

Finally, clues were found from the jade pendant on Feng Mingqian's waist.

The round jade pendant that looked like a round shape was actually a hollow box.

Because of the clever carving, you can't tell that they are two sides buckled together.

With the help of skilled craftsmen from the Imperial Household Department (Chunxiao Ancient Jewelry Production Department), the jade pendant was opened.

The powder remaining inside was tested and it turned out to be poison.

Feng Mingqian was stunned!

He looked at the jade pendant in disbelief, and then he suddenly realized!

He pointed at the dead Ruan Jinglei and trembled: "This is... this is... this is a trap!"

"He gave me this jade pendant..."

Toto, who had been silent the whole time, expressed his disbelief.

"Master Feng is saying that this was the poison Master Ruan gave you, and then he took the same poison and killed himself?"

After this was said, everyone looked strange.

Someone sets a trap for you at the cost of his own life?

The logic doesn't make sense.

Feng Mingqian said with a sad face: "It sounds incredible, but it is the truth."

"I don't know whether he took poison or not, but this jade pendant was really given by him."

"Besides, I don't know if there is any mechanism in this jade pendant..."

The deputy envoy of the Tianlang Kingdom expressed disapproval: "Lord Feng is really an expert at framing others!"

"Do you know that our Master Ruan just got a grandson and a beautiful concubine?"

"He was still talking last night about bringing his grandson a pearl, gemstone and gold locket newly released by Tao Tao Ji of the Tianwu Dynasty?"

Chunxiao's gold-inlaid gemstone jewelry not only sold well in China, but was also very popular in the Tianwu Dynasty.

Longevity locks for children and various jewelry for women are all in short supply.

Lord Ruan was no exception. He not only bought a longevity lock for his grandson, but also bought a pair of pink pearl earrings for his concubine at a purchase price of fifty yuan.

"Lord Ruan loves life so much and has beautiful wives and concubines, how could he possibly commit suicide by taking poison?"

As soon as the deputy envoy said this, several people nodded.

They had a big gathering yesterday and many people heard it.

Even Feng Mingqian was present, so he couldn't refute.

"I know this doesn't sound reasonable, but that's how it is..."

He paused, and suddenly realized: he was trapped in a trap set by someone.

Now the situation is set, he is already a chess piece in the net and can't struggle out!

"Someone is setting this up to trick our Nan'an Nation!"

"Someone wants to use the Tianwu Dynasty's territory and Lord Ruan's life to alienate the Nan'an Kingdom and the Tianlang Kingdom, and at the same time drag the host Tianwu Kingdom into the water!"

"After all, Tianwu State just captured two cities from Tianlang State..."

"If we can't find the truth, the people who benefit from this..."

As soon as Feng Mingqian said this, everyone looked at Toto with strange expressions and caution.

Among the four countries, it seems that only Tatar is innocent.

Is this young Tatar prince so black-hearted?

Toto is so young and weak, but he can have a place in Tatar, a country that advocates the use of force. I think he must be capable.

Could it be that he is good at setting up schemes and plotting?

Toto was squatting on the shore watching the show, but was suddenly pulled into the water and jumped up in shock.

"Master Feng, you can drink as much as you want, but you can't say anything you want..."

"Do you have any evidence for what you said?"

"Or do you think, Lord Feng, that since our two countries are so far apart, the Tatars are not a threat to the Nan'an Kingdom? You can just frame them at will?"

Everyone's heart skipped a beat when they heard this.

Feng Mingqian responded with a bow, neither softly nor harshly.

"Prince Toto, there is no need to be so suspicious. I am just making assumptions based on common sense."

"Generally speaking, whoever benefits the most is the suspect."

"Never mind how innocent this guy looks."

"Your Majesty, you must be vigilant and give justice to our Nan'an Kingdom!"

Civil and Military Officials: That sounds reasonable...

Let’s look at Feng Mingqian again: the minister who was the most particular about etiquette, the envoy from Nangan Kingdom, now had disheveled hair and untidy clothes. He kowtowed to the ground with a loud noise, looking extremely miserable.

Fu Zhonghai said with a gloomy face: Very good, now that things have gotten to this point, every country is a suspect.

Fortunately, by this time, most of the civil and military officials had already been interrogated (watching surveillance), and they were released one after another.

The rest were envoys and chiefs from various countries, who were sent back to the former Honglu Temple, and each lived in their own courtyard under heavy guard (watchover).

Fu Zhonghai returned to the imperial study and took Fu Chenan to discuss: What should we do?

The person died in the Tianwu Dynasty. No matter what, the Tianwu Dynasty must give an explanation to the Tianlang Kingdom.

At the same time, he also had to figure out who killed Ruan Jinglei.

Fu Chenan frowned: "We have recorders and surveillance cameras, but these require our people to be able to get close to them..."

After what happened today, countries will certainly be on high alert and will not allow strangers to approach them again.

"I'll go ask the Crown Princess and see if she has any ideas..."

When Xiao Yingchun found out that the situation was so complicated, she was also dumbfounded: "What should we do now?"

Fu Chenan: "We want to find out who did it by getting information."

“But our people can’t get close.”

"I can't even play the recorder..."

Xiao Yingchun thought about it, searched for a video from the video APP, and handed it to Fu Chenan.

Fu Chenan took a look and fell silent.

This is a thing called a mini robot dog...

The remote control is very convenient and the thing is not big...

As for the color and appearance - Xiao Yingchun suggested "just cover it with fur".

Pretend to be a real dog.

Fu Chenan: "Okay! How long will it take to get the stuff?"

Time is easy.

Xiao Yingchun called the manufacturer directly, and the manufacturer promised to send someone to deliver the product immediately, regardless of the cost, and it would arrive in half a day.

Fu Chenan returned to the Tianwu Dynasty and discussed with his father how to deal with it...

The next morning, when I woke up, the capital of Tianwu was bustling with people as usual. Various hawking sounds, the sound of horse-drawn carriage wheels, the quarrels of women in the market, the crying of children... could be heard one after another.

In the closely guarded courtyard of the Honglu Temple, people from every country closed their doors and discussed what to do next.

Toto was the most relaxed, drinking milk tea, eating fruit and chatting with his subordinates.

"It's not us who did it, why should we care so much?"

"We just have to wait for the results to come out."

"Anyway, given the friendship between me and His Royal Highness, I won't be wronged."

Everyone nodded, but they were worried in their hearts: Would they really not be wronged?

Could it be that the master has overestimated his friendship with the Crown Prince of Tianwu Kingdom?

After everyone went back to their rooms to rest, Toto quietly called his staff to discuss the matter seriously.

Who killed Ruan Jinglei?

He also didn't believe that Ruan Jinglei would commit suicide.

A man who is concerned about his children and concubines would not give up his life.

Of course there are exceptions...

The staff member signaled with his eyes that "walls have ears", but Toto said not to worry.

"Speculating who did it" is the normal reaction of every innocent person who is suspected.

Similar things happened in the courtyards of envoys from various countries.

The guards from various countries guard their yards like an iron barrel, and they will even take a look if a bird flies by.

No one paid attention, and a little black cat came in from the dog hole in the corner of the wall.

The little black cat followed the flowerbed at the foot of the wall to the eaves of the envoy's house and lay down...
