After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

Did these two guys make an appointment to piss me off?

Zheng Xian looked at Gongsun Wen and said unhappily, "What are you doing here again?"

Gongsun Wen bowed to Zheng Xian and Zheng Yan, then walked over to me and sat on my other side. He said, "I came to the palace to share an interesting story with Your Majesty."

"Interesting thing?" Zheng Xian became interested and asked immediately, "What's the interesting thing?"

Gongsun Wen smiled and said, "I heard that when Master Gui came out of the brothel in the evening, someone grabbed his head and beat him up. He couldn't get out of bed for half a month."

When we heard this, we were stunned.

Although Gui Demin was a drunkard and a glutton, with no knowledge of either martial arts or literature, the guards he hired were all experts. Every time he went out, there were always more than a dozen people protecting him. How could he be put in a sack and beaten?

It's impossible even to think about.

But Zheng Xian suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Zi Yan, Zi Yan, you are really interesting, really interesting."

Soon, Zheng Yan seemed to have figured something out. He clapped his hands and laughed, saying, "Teacher is really amazing."

I was just looking at these people stupidly. Gui Demin being beaten was certainly a happy thing, but what were these two people laughing about? Was it really that funny?

Gongsun Wen brought Zheng Xian such interesting news that Zheng Xian did not blame him for coming to eat for free, and even asked Wei Yi to reward him with a chicken leg.

I saw that Zheng Xian was in a good mood, so I said, "Your Majesty, General Li said today that my horse might have gone back to my house. Can I go back to the house tomorrow to check?"

"No." Zheng Xian refused without hesitation and said, "I will send someone to find out for you tomorrow. You can't go anywhere now, and you can't leave my sight."

He really acts like a tyrannical old father!

I was so angry that I lowered my head and ate my food fiercely.

Zheng Xian ignored me and continued to eat his food elegantly.

Gongsun Wen then said, "Your Majesty, I have been suffering from insomnia recently and my health is getting worse. Can I stay in the palace temporarily and let the imperial physician take good care of me?"

Zheng Xian said without even looking up, "No, it is not right. How can a minister stay in the palace? You are not feeling well. I allow you to rest at home and you don't need to attend the morning court for the time being."

Gongsun Wen refused to accept this and said, "You have so many concubines in your palace, one more of me won't make a difference. Besides, can you bear to watch me die of insomnia?"

Zheng Xian said unhappily, "I am not a royal doctor, so I cannot cure your insomnia. If you stay in my palace, will you not suffer from insomnia?"

Gongsun Wen said confidently, "Of course, as long as Ah Man is here, I can sleep well."

Zheng Xian looked at Gongsun Wen speechlessly. "Can you be more shameless?" He wanted to take advantage of the good fortune, so he took advantage of the good fortune. He even found a reason for himself to die from insomnia.

At this time, Zheng Yan slowly raised his hand and said carefully: "Father, I feel that the food tastes especially good when Ah Man is here. Can I stay in this palace to eat in the future?"

Zheng Xian really wanted to throw the bowl in his hand at Zheng Yan, but thinking that he was the crown prince, he had to give him some face, so he had to endure it.

We hadn't even finished half of our meal when Li Jin arrived.

It never ends. Can I still enjoy my meal?

Li Jin was covered in mud and looked pitiful. Zheng Xian wanted to scold him but couldn't.

Li Jin bowed to everyone and said, "Your Majesty, a total of 139 skeletons were dug out of the house, including 87 from the pond, 19 from the well, and 33 from the cellar of the house. The number of skeletons is beyond my imagination. I have sent people to thoroughly investigate the several owners of this house. I believe that the truth will be revealed soon."

Zheng Xian was silent for a long time, then asked, "Have you found out who those skeletons belong to?"

Li Jin replied: "Time is tight, it will take some time to find out."

I quickly said, "I have an idea. How about I go there with Master Li tonight?"

When Li Jin thought of the bones filling the entire yard, which looked eerie and scary even during the day, he didn't want to go there again at night, so he quickly said, "I have been busy outside today and haven't been home yet. I'm sure Madam is very worried. I won't go there at night."

Li Jin had indeed been busy all day, and Zheng Xian didn't want him to work all night. What if he got him down? Where would he find another person who was so easy to use?

Zheng Xian then said, "Li Aiqing has been busy all day and is indeed tired. Go back and rest early. You don't need to handle any more cases tonight."

Except for me, no one can find out the identities of more than a hundred skeletons in a short period of time.

I had no choice but to say, "In that case, I will go with Lord Gongsun tonight."

Gongsun Wen, who was concentrating on eating, didn't expect that he could be shot even when lying down. He raised his head and glared at me.

Zheng Yan also whispered, "Ah Man, stop messing around."

Zheng Xian didn't say anything, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Hungry Li Jin drooled at the sight of the delicious food on the table, but Zheng Xian didn't ask him to sit down and eat with them, so he could only stand and wait.

I saw Zheng Xian was still eating slowly, so I pleaded, "Your Majesty, you know I can communicate with spirits. If you want to quickly know the origins of these people, no one is more suitable than me."

Before Zheng Xian could say anything, Gongsun Wen said angrily, "If you want to go, go ahead. Why do you have to drag me along?"

I said, "I can't write. If I don't ask you to help, who will record their situation?"

When I said this, everyone laughed.

Ah Man, Ah Man, it turns out that you really are a person who only has brute force and cannot read.

Li Jin then understood why I wanted to drag him along and smiled a little embarrassedly.

Zheng Xian looked at Li Jin standing there grinning like a fool and said unhappily, "Are you hungry? If you are, sit down and eat together."

Li Jin had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. When His Majesty finally spoke, Li Jin was so happy that he sat down quickly and said, "I only had one steamed bun for breakfast today. Now I am so hungry that my eyes are black and I feel dizzy."

The palace maid filled a bowl of rice for Li Jin. As soon as Li Jin took it, he started to eat it in big mouthfuls. He really looked like he had been hungry for ten days or so and wanted to swallow the whole bowl.

Li Jin ate very quickly. The food was prepared by the imperial chef. It tasted ten times better than the food prepared by the chef at home. No, it was a hundred times better!

Li Jin ate like a starving ghost, which made everyone hungry. Suddenly, the food tasted much better. Except for Zheng Xian who was still eating slowly, the others ate as fast as they could, fearing that if they ate too slowly, the food would be gone.

After the meal was finally finished, the palace maids brought hot tea and several plates of fruit, including peaches, pears, and grapes. Everything was juicy and pleasing to the eye.

Being able to eat fruits in the middle of winter is something that ordinary people can't even imagine.
