Happiness through the dregs of books

"What's the matter?" Gao Mingju repeated with a smile, and then suddenly became sharp, "Come here, bring him up!" As soon as the words fell, several guards with knives escorted the group of Daben Empire to The main hall, and then he knelt on the ground mercilessly.

With the sound of "bang" and "dong", the people of Daben Empire were forced to kneel on the ground.

Except for Li En and Tanhua, everyone was surprised by the appearance of the Daben Empire envoys. , Gao Mingju snorted coldly, and said: "My ministers, get up first! Others and outsiders saw the joke."

The ministers were terrified and did not dare to move.

But of course Li En didn't do that.He stood up first, followed by General Yang, Tan Hua and Prime Minister Lu, who also stood up one after another to see the situation, and the other ministers also stood up one after another.

Nolan and others struggled endlessly, but to no avail.Only then did he give up, and began to question angrily: "Is this how the prosperous dynasty treats the messengers from afar? I didn't know that this is how you treat guests?!"

"Hospitalizing guests? That also requires you to be guests!" Gao Mingju sneered, and then asked angrily, "Is the Daben Empire so unaffordable to lose?"

Nolan was stunned: "Can't afford to lose? Heh! I think you guys are deceiving people too much!"

Gao Mingju was not too surprised by Nolan's reaction.Because the assassination had nothing to do with him directly.That's right, what happened this time was not done by him.

However, the man behind the scenes is indeed the messenger of the Daben Empire.And they should sit together!

Gao Mingju took a meaningful look at Chris, who was a little uneasy next to Nolan, and then said calmly: "Last night, the three of you played brilliantly in the match with you. Concubine Lu and Minister Tan have been attacked by assassins one after another, and the murderers are people from your Daben Empire, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

A trace of uneasiness flashed in Nolan's heart, but he still asked: "Your people were attacked, why do you think we did it?

"

Gao Mingju sneered: "Come on, bring the assassin up!"

A moment later, another group of people brought the six assassins up.Seeing these people, Nolan and the others instantly turned pale.

These people are obviously hidden in the capital secretly, just in case, but now, why are they all here?Reminiscent of the assassination Gao Mingju just mentioned, Nolan became even more flustered.

"Well, what's going on here?"

"What's going on?" Gao Mingju leaned forward slightly, and said without anger, "What's going on, I still have to ask you!

"

Seeing that they were all silent, Gao Mingju continued: "The Daben Empire came to challenge the Shengshi Dynasty. The two sides competed, and the two prizes have been determined. However, the final result was not the victory you expected, but lost to the Shengshi Dynasty. However, Daben Empire This empire does not keep its word, and after the failure, it sent assassins to assassinate the meritorious ministers of our prosperous dynasty. It must be bad to spread the word, right?"

In this world, contracts are above all else.Even if it is only a verbal contract, it must be established.However, when countries get along and communicate with each other, various contracts are more important.

Therefore, if it is reported that the Daben Empire broke its promise and committed murder in violation of the contract, then the status of the Daben Empire in the Qicheng Continent will plummet!Even countries that originally had cooperation will carefully consider their cooperation.

Therefore, in this matter, the Daben Empire would rather lose one-tenth of its land and iron-smelting technology, rather than gain a reputation on the mainland for breaking promises and ignoring contracts.

Nolan turned pale, and said to Gao Mingju: "Your Majesty, I really don't know about this matter. Please allow us to investigate clearly

"You are allowed to investigate?" Gao Mingju smiled, and then said, "I can't even believe that you can do such things."

Nolan couldn't tell what was going on, so he had no choice but to question Chris and Weipa: "What's going on?"

Chris and Weipa shook their heads, expressing that they didn't know.

Nolan frowned, and asked coldly again: "Let me ask again, who did it?"

The two remained silent.

Gao Mingju sat on the dragon ride, watching the farce below, and sneered in his heart.

"How is it? Messenger Nolan, how are you going to give me an explanation to the prosperous dynasty?"

Nolan felt sad in his heart, and said anxiously: "This, I really don't know."

"Your Majesty, the person you arrested is indeed from our Daben Empire, but who knows that you didn't catch it on purpose to frame us?

"Chris has been very worried since he was trapped. Now that he saw the situation, he knew that the assassin he sent out had not succeeded in killing one person. Now he can only expose the assassination as much as possible.

Gao Mingju gave him a cold look, and then stopped looking at him.Instead, he asked Nolan: "Messenger Nolan, what do you think?"

Nolan gritted his teeth, and then followed what Chris said: "This, Your Majesty, just arrested these people. There is indeed no conclusive evidence to prove that we have assassinated."

"Oh! If that's the case," Gao Mingju paused for a moment, then motioned to Eunuch Hu who was standing beside him.

Immediately, Eunuch Hu took out a small cylindrical object from his cuff.

Gao Mingju took it, glanced at it casually, and then pressed a button that protruded from the middle.

Immediately, a shocking thing came from that little thing, the sound of dialogue.

The inner valley is as follows.

"...These three people have made our Daben Empire lose face so much. So they must die." As soon as these words came out, the envoys below were shocked, and then looked at Chris in surprise.

——[Note: In fact, the following conversations are not in Chinese, but in the language of Daben Empire.But... Who knows what the language of the Daben Empire is, so it is directly written in Chinese.Chinese is the common language in Qicheng Continent, and the language of Daben Empire is like a dialect. 】

It turned out that this was his voice.

The conversation continues.

"Messenger Chris, would it be bad to do this? After all, we have already made a contract."

"Hmph! If we don't recognize the verbal agreement, what can they do?"

"This……"

"You just need to assassinate, don't worry about the rest."

"This... alright丨"

"Remember to be careful about the assassination, and don't let the Nolan and Weipa envoys know."

"Yes!"

The conversation ended here, Gao Mingju looked at the group of envoys below, everyone had different expressions.He said indifferently: "Messenger Nolan, this is the sound recorded by our people when they realized that something was wrong. But this is in your language. Except for Yipin Haoming who was attacked, no one else in our prosperous dynasty knew it was What do you mean? Now Haoming is recuperating due to being frightened. So, please ask Nolan's envoy to translate, how about it?"

Nolan's face turned pale again and again, thinking that even if he didn't say anything, he would know about it when the protector of the country, the Yipin Haoming, woke up.So, right now, I can only admit it.

"This, it's because I'm not strict with my subordinates." After saying that, Nolan stood up with support, and then kicked Chris to the ground.

Thinking that this matter was indeed from them, Nolan dropped his knees again helplessly, and said, "It is true that he did this matter, but please allow me to bring him back to the country, so that we can deal with it."

Gao Mingju smiled: "Of course. However, my noble concubine and ministers were all assassinated. Even if they didn't suffer any external injuries, they were indeed frightened psychologically. And the assassination is really bad. Don't you think it's as simple as that?" Uncover it?"

Nolan almost gritted his white teeth, suppressing the grievance in his heart, Nolan smiled apologetically: "When you return to China and hand over another lottery, a thousand taels of gold will be attached."

"Heh! So in the eyes of the envoy, the imperial concubine of the prosperous dynasty is worth only a thousand taels of life, and a minister of the fifth rank. I have gained a lot of knowledge!"

Nolan continued to grit his teeth: "Golden taels."

Gao Mingju continued to laugh.

Nolan gritted his teeth and asked, "Then, I don't know what compensation Your Majesty wants.

Gao Mingju laughed: "Actually, the compensation is not important. The important thing is to apologize. Originally, you should personally apologize to Concubine Lu, Wen Wenhaoming, and Lord Tan who were assassinated. But after all, men and women are different. Please apologize, Mr. Tan. Of course, since the Daben Empire is so generous and willing to compensate the gold ten thousand taels, then I will be disrespectful."

Nolan and the messengers: ...

The resentful people were even more upset when they saw Chris.

Gao Mingju smiled and signaled the guards to untie the messengers, then watched them happily apologize to Tan Hua, and then escorted Chris and the other six assassins back in despair.

After they left, Gao Mingju looked at all the officials present, and said seriously: "If there is something to play, then there is nothing to leave the court."

Prime Minister Lu hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and asked, "I have something to do."

Gao Mingju smiled and said, "What's the matter, Prime Minister?"

"Concubine Lu was also attacked by assassins. I wonder if there is any serious problem?" Prime Minister Lu hadn't seen Concubine Lu for a long time. Now that the emperor is still so energetic, it is enough to show that Lu Lu did not give him the medicine.

The prime minister is anxious!

"So that's what happened. Don't worry, Prime Minister, Aifei is fine except for being a little frightened."

Hearing this, Prime Minister Lu said, "It's fine if there's nothing to do," and then stepped back.

What the emperor meant was that he was obviously not allowed to visit. If he couldn't, he could only give up.

Gao Mingju glanced around, saw that no one was talking anymore, and said, "Master Tan made a contribution to the banquet yesterday, but he was hurt because of it. Now I reward you with a thousand taels of gold."

Hearing this, Tanhua quickly knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "I thank the Lord for your kindness."

"Get up^"

When Tanhua stood up, Gao Mingju stood up and said, "Retire from the court. The Lord Protector will come with me."

All the officials knelt down and waited for Gao Mingju to disappear, then they stood up and rushed out of the Golden Luan Hall.

And Li En, of course, went to the imperial study from the outside.

After Li En left, Baiguan's voice became louder.Among them, more people came to Tanhua to express their concern and congratulations.

Prime Minister Lu frowned and left.

Immediately, General Yang looked at Prime Minister Lu's back and snorted coldly in his heart.

The assassination of the little girl Yang Ru was indeed the work of this old fox!
