"Sir Qin, you are really naive. Do you think you can escape? The matters of this investigation will definitely fall upon your head. However, that doesn't mean that nothing has changed."

When this Lord Qin heard that there was a chance, his eyes lit up.

"Your Highness, just point at a path that I can take. Your servant will definitely not forget your great kindness."

"Lord Qin, This King believes in your loyalty." Nangong Jue used his long fingers to prop himself up from the side of his face. His face that looked warm and gentle like jade had a look of unfathomable depth to it.

"Your Highness …" You must help me this time. This official is following you with his head on his head! " The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice was obviously frightened this time. He did not have much ability at all.

"Lord Qin, don't worry. Since this duke has brought you to this position, then you and I are grasshoppers on a string. This duke naturally won't let anything happen to you."

Hearing Nangong Jue's words, the Vice Minister of the Punishment Department felt as if he had eaten a pill that calmed him down, and the expression on his face became better.

"Then, Your Highness, what do you think this official should do?"

"Pretend to be sick. Now lie on the bed and pretend to be sick. This King should not stay here any longer. "Remember, do not take on this case. Otherwise, if you are unable to find anything, you will lose your head."

When he heard the words "lost his head", Lord Qin's legs went limp.

He had gone through great pains to reach his current position, so he couldn't die. There were thousands and thousands of people who could not die.

Although it was a huge crime for the emperor to have expired, ever since he stood with King An, his head had been stuck on his neck.

Naturally, until now, he couldn't say anything.

After Prince An left, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice called his servants over and ordered them to send for a doctor immediately. He then prepared a handkerchief made from cold well water and stayed naked in his ice cave for a while, only coming out when his teeth were chattering.

"The emperor has arrived!"

The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice had just finished his preparations and laid down on his bed when he heard a voice from outside.

The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice hurriedly laid down and put on an act.

The icehouse was unusually cold. Even though he was covered in a blanket, he was still very cold. His body continuously trembled like a sieve.

"My Lord, I heard you were sick just after entering the manor. Let me take a look. Your illness seems to be quite severe. Look at how your body is shaking."

Nangong Ao's eyes swept over the Vice Minister of the Punishment Department. He saw that there were still drops of water on his head, but his face was not as pale as before. However, his body was trembling violently.

It seemed that the vice minister of the Ministry of Justice had put quite a bit of effort into avoiding this.

He knew it wasn't going that well.

His lips slightly moved, and he seemed to be concerned as he said, "My beloved official, I think it's not that light on you. How about I let the imperial physician take a look at you, Sir Qin is one of the pillars of our Heavenly Awakening Empire, if there's any mishap, my Heavenly Awakening Empire will lose its talent again."

Hearing this, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice's face turned awkward. 'Who is the emperor? 'Naturally, his minor tricks couldn't be hidden from the emperor.

However, the Prince had warned him that he had to keep his life until the end. Even if he knew that his acting was clumsy, he still couldn't show it. He had to hold on.

He was well aware of his own strength. There was no way he could solve a case like this.

"Your Majesty, this humble subject …" This humble subject is truly useless, I cannot come down and pay my respects to the emperor. This subject has a cold, but who would have thought that at such an old age, this subject would be unable to handle it any longer, and will have to lie down on the bed and be unable to move. "

Nangong Ao smiled but did not say anything.

"Since you are sick, your beloved one, please rest well. "However, I've heard that your son is a genius at solving cases. Why haven't I seen your son today?"

The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice's body trembled even more violently.

His son hung around outside all day, and he had always wanted to nurture him into his class. However, his son refused to enter the government office, and instead liked to linger in romantic places.

This was all his fault. After he abandoned his mother that year, the child refused to speak to him.

Right now, he was also very regretful. He wanted to bring his mother back, but his wife had already escaped.

"My beloved Qin, what's wrong? You're sick, your son can't be sick too, right?"

There was a trace of sarcasm in Nangong Ao's voice. Lord Qin naturally knew that the Emperor was looking for someone to investigate the case on his behalf. However, he only had this one son, and that kid didn't know how to weigh the consequences. If he offended the emperor, then not only would he lose his position, but he would also lose his life.

Just as he was thinking about how to avoid infuriating the Emperor, a clear voice sounded.

"Father …"

For so many years, this child had never wanted to call him father. Yet, today, he spoke. His Excellency Qin was stunned, unable to react.

No wonder he could not react in time. This child is usually elusive, so why did he suddenly return today?

At the door, a man dressed in green walked in. His sword-like eyebrows were slightly raised, and a pair of bright and spirited eyes were embedded in them. His high nose bridge parted them just right, and his thin lips pursed slightly.

This was the son of Lord Qin, Qin Guan.

"This commoner, Qin Guan, greets the Emperor."

When Qin Guan Zi entered, he saw Nangong Ao, who was wearing a dragon robe, sitting on the chair, and immediately kowtowed.

Compared to Sir Qin, Nangong Ao's impression of this Qin Guan Zi was much better.

Although this Lord Qin is just an idiot, his son is very smart.

Today, he did not come here to look for Lord Qin.

He only wanted to try his luck and see if he could meet the legendary Qin Guan.

"You are the son of the Official Qin, Qin Guan?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Nangong Ao stood up and walked in front of Qin Guan Zi to help him up.

In fact, this was the first time he had seen the Emperor.

"I heard that you're a genius at solving cases. Since your father is sick, let's have you investigate the case for him."

Qin Guan was slightly stunned and did not react in time.

The Emperor had asked him to investigate the case, but it seemed illogical that he didn't have a name for it.

"You don't have to worry about the issue of achievements. I have given you the title of an assistant minister. As long as it's a investigation into the assassination of the King of Chopin, even your father has to listen to you and cooperate with you."

Qin Guan Zi had always disliked government, but he had heard about the assassination of the king of Pbang.

When father and that King An met earlier, he had already heard their conversation. The reason why he came to father's room was to see if he could use this opportunity to get a kick out of him. However, he didn't expect that the emperor would hand over such an important matter to him.

"Your Majesty, this commoner is more respectful than I am."

Qin Guan was interested in solving the case.

This was two extremes compared to Lord Qin, who did not know how to solve a case.

Lord Qin actually accepted it when he saw his son. Although this was an imperial order, it was impossible to refuse, but he really didn't expect that his own son would not hesitate at all.

It seemed that there was no way to change this matter.

Nangong Ao was very satisfied with Qin Guan Zi's reply.

"Qin Guan Zi, we are waiting to see your performance. This medallion is for you. If you see this medallion or if you see anyone who dares to resist, you can take it down first. "

Although Qin Guan was somewhat flattered that he had suddenly gained such power in a single session, he was still the son of the vice minister of the Ministry of Justice. He had seen such a large scene before, so he quickly adapted to it.

Nangong Ao left, leaving behind a few guards to follow Qin Guan Zi. After a while, he left with Qin Guan Zi to the inn to investigate the matter of the assassination of the King of Chopin.

However, he still had to make a trip to the Wind Listening Pavilion.

The wind listens in the Moon Pavilion, Jin Xiao Ai sat on the roof of the house looking at the moon in a daze.

What happened today was too strange. There was actually someone who dared to commit murder right under the emperor's nose.

This person was truly a very dangerous character.

Just who had the ability to do so?

An Wang?

"Nangong Ao, there are so many dangers around you."

Now, Jin Xiaoyi began to understand a little why the Heavenly Imperial Family needed her as a transcender to help them.

The Heavenly Imperial Empire was after all one of the few great countries, so this continent was still a big piece of meat to many people.

In the distance, a man in bright yellow clothes was leaping toward the roof.

The man was already sitting beside her.

"The emperor is really in the mood to be in the mood for such a big thing. Doesn't the emperor need to personally take care of it?"

Jin Xiaoyi's tone was slightly indifferent as she kept her eyes on the road in front of her.

"Don't you want to see me?"

Nangong Ao smiled as he looked at Jin Xiao Ai. From start to finish, he was not angered by Jin Xiao Ai's cold attitude.

This little woman always liked to make things difficult. She just quietly sat by her side and accompanied her to watch the moon.

Just as he arrived at the entrance of the Moon Pavilion, he saw her on the roof. He had only brought along a few guards with him.

Originally, he should have gone back to change his clothes. After all, wearing the dragon robe was too eye-catching.

This was the red light district. There were lights on both sides of the street and there were quite a few people. From this, one could not see any changes.

In order to not attract attention, he walked directly to the back alley. It was relatively dark here, and the carriage stopped at the back alley entrance. He only brought Xiao Yuan in as a shadow guard.

Seeing that he was on the roof, Xiao Yuan went out to tell the eunuchs to leave first. He knew that since the Emperor was here, he wouldn't leave for the time being.

"Is the matter of the King of Chopin difficult to resolve?"

Although Nangong Ao did not say anything, Jin Xiaoyi was able to see a trace of worry on Nangong Ao's face. The death of the Chopin King was indeed strange. Just now, she had already thought through all the possible scenarios.

The person who was most likely to do this was Nangong Jue. She knew about Nangong Jue and Nangong Ao's internal strife, but she didn't think that Nangong Jue was stupid enough to send people to kill the king of Chopin.

The death of the king would not benefit the Heavenly Imperial Kingdom at all. Moreover, if it was really done by Nangong Jue, then it would be too irrational to kill the king right now.

Thus, that killer was definitely not Nangong Jue's man.

But at that moment, Jin Xiaosu could not think of anyone else. Other than Nangong Jue, who else could kill the King of Chopin?

"I came to ask for your help on something."

Nangong Ao said indifferently, as if this was a very natural thing to do.

"What is it?"

This was the first time Nangong Ao did not hesitate to ask for her help. However, she wasn't surprised. Even if this man was the Emperor, he wasn't omnipotent.
