Behind the envoy from the south were the envoy from the east and the deputy general under Shi Mu.
Shi Mu's deputy general simply stood there without saying anything, but the envoy from Dongzhe was different. He approached the envoy from Nanlin and said, "The princess's death is suspicious and not a natural one. Our prince said that we must investigate and find the murderer to bring justice to the princess!"
The envoy from the Southern Lin said with difficulty, "But the investigation in the Great Zhou requires a coroner. How can I let just any man get close to the princess? If the King and Queen find out when I get back, won't I be skinned alive?"
The envoy from Dongzhe said disdainfully, "Isn't everyone saying that Princess Xinxin is a brilliant detective? Let her do it! Relying on a coroner, how dare she admit that she's a brilliant detective?"
Gu Xinqi laughed. This person has forgotten that he can understand what she's saying!
Or did he not forget and said it on purpose? Was he trying to provoke himself?
She stepped forward: "Excuse me for interrupting your conversation. You say I'm a genius at solving cases? I don't really admit it. Now I can say that when I investigate cases, I need a coroner by my side, and not only a coroner, but also the constables! I'm not as amazing as you think, able to do everything by myself. By the way, let me give you a term from our Great Zhou Dynasty: 'Everyone has their own duty.' Every department and every position has its purpose."
After a pause, Gu Xin continued, "I think you two don't want to investigate anymore. In that case, it's none of our business at the Dali Temple. I'll go and call Xiao Qiu and the brothers to leave. You can discuss the follow-up with Lord Gu!"
After saying that, Gu Xin called Zheng Qiu, He Gang, He Qiang and the others to come out with their people.
Zheng Qiu, He Gang, He Qiang, and a group of officials from the Dali Temple all stood behind Gu Xin.
Gu Xin turned around and said helplessly to Gu Shouxin, "Dad, I'm going back to take a nap. You're probably going to have a hard time for a while."
Gu Shouxin nodded: "Yes, go back to sleep! Sleep peacefully. I will explain to Lord Qin that no one should be allowed to disturb you and Xiao Qiu, no matter what."
The messengers from the east and south quickly translated the father and daughter's conversation into their own envoys' ears.
The envoy from Nanlin cried out anxiously, "Princess Xinxin, wait, wait, don't go!"
Gu Xincai ignored him and continued walking out.
The envoy from Nanlin stepped forward, trying to pull Gu Xin away, but He Gang and He Qiang blocked Gu Xin's path, glaring at the envoy from Nanlin.
The envoy from Nanlin looked at Gu Shouxin with a mournful face: "Lord Gu, please persuade the princess! Our princess died a violent death, and we need Princess Xinxin's help. I beg you, Lord Gu."
The envoy from Nanlin was extremely confused. Princess Longzhu was the heir chosen by their king and queen, and she had already taken over many things. They were just waiting for her to find a husband so that she could take over the affairs of Nanlin.
But now that he's gone, the crucial point is that he doesn't even know how he died.
Dong Zhe and Jia Cang both saw the situation. If they didn't get a result and just went back like this, Dong Zhe and Jia Cang would explain the situation to both sides, and he, as the leader, would be finished.
If the murderer can be found, he will have an explanation, and the punishment he receives when he goes back will definitely be less.
Therefore, the envoy from Nanlin had no intention of letting Gu Xin leave.
The envoy from Dongzhe did not expect Gu Xin to be so assertive, leaving without a second thought and completely disregarding her reputation. The attempt to provoke her had no effect whatsoever.
