The commotion in the post station was masked by the lyrics of the famous actor in the restaurant. Fei He only stepped into the post station after the war without gunpowder was over.

Lianchi's left shoulder was a little higher. Looking closely, the little black snake was lying there leisurely resting, with its belly bulging, probably having just had a full meal.

"Have you caught everything?"

Lian Chi did not respond, but kicked the half-full sack beside him. Immediately, a rustling sound came from inside, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Fei He had witnessed the abilities of Master Lianchi before, and His Majesty trusted him very much, but he still had to check this matter personally before he could feel at ease.

Fei He stretched out his hand towards the sack at Lian Chi's feet, but was stopped by Lian Chi.

"It's still alive, so you can't touch it."

After Lian Chi finished speaking, he kicked the sack containing the poisonous creature far away. After being hit, the poisonous creature inside moved even more violently.

From time to time, a corner of the sack would bulge out, as if something was about to break free and come out.

The little snake lying on the lotus pond slowly opened its eyes when it heard the noise, and spat out its tongue at the restless sack, looking very ferocious.

"Your Majesty, have you said what to do with these people?"

Lian Chi sprinkled some powder on the restless sack. Within a short while, the poisonous creatures in the sack calmed down, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air.

Fei He did not respond in a hurry. After the Sifangtai secret guards disguised as patrol officers beside him quietly retreated, he slowly spoke:

"No, these people cannot die without the order of His Majesty."

Fei He's words were vague, but Lian Chi understood the meaning. His Majesty had already conquered the Northern Territory, and the Northern Territory royal family should not have come to the capital just to pay tribute. Otherwise, the poisonous paper they brought would be enough to sentence the entire Northern Territory royal family to death.

"These people have been poisoned by snake venom. This is the antidote. The Northern Royal Family doesn't need to give it to them. They have been soaked in poison since birth, and this won't kill them."

Lianchi felt disgust towards the northern border, no matter the people or the place. If he could get the emperor's will today, he would be very willing to be the executioner today.

Fei He took it, and the moment his hand touched the antidote, Lian Chi let go. If he hadn't reacted quickly, the antidote would have fallen directly to the ground.

Seeing the antidote fall steadily into Fei He's hands, a hint of disappointment flashed in Lian Chi's eyes, as if he hoped that once the antidote fell to the ground, all these people would die.

Fei He left with the antidote, and Lian Chi carried the sack and the little snake to the terrace on the second floor.

After Fei He distributed the antidote, he came to the second-floor terrace and saw Lian Chi take out a finger-long centipede from the sack and throw it casually. A black shadow flew past, and when the black shadow fell back on Lian Chi's shoulder, the centipede had disappeared, leaving only the sound of the little snake swallowing.

"Okay, if you eat any more, it won't be enough for the mission. Food from the North is too dirty. Don't make yourself sick."

Fei He stood behind the man and the snake, and saw that after Lian Chi finished speaking, the little snake rubbed his neck affectionately with its head, as if it was acting coquettishly. Suddenly, he remembered the puppy that His Majesty had raised from a small child, which had the same human nature.

"I'm going back to the palace to report. Master Lianchi, can you come with me?"

Upon hearing this, Lianchi tied the mouth of the sack tightly, stood up, and carried the sack, which looked even emptier than before, back onto his shoulders.

"I've packed everything and can return to the palace anytime."

While Lian Chi was speaking, the little snake quietly crawled back into Lian Chi's arms. However, the collar of the patrol officer was much tighter than the cassock. When the fat little snake crawled in, its abdomen got stuck and it twisted its body for a while before it was completely in.

Liang Chongyue woke up and felt that the person on the beam had returned. He looked up and happened to meet Fei He's eyes, who was leaning against the beam to rest. It seemed that the matter of the post station had been resolved.

"Your Majesty, Master Lianchi is waiting in the side hall."

When Yun Ling was putting the crown on him, she whispered softly in Liang Chongyue's ear. Liang Chongyue just nodded lightly, had breakfast and went to court.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Liang Chongyue had just asked all officials to stand up when someone stood up.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

The one who stood up was the Censor. The Censorate had not made any noise in the court for a long time. Liang Chongyue recalled that there seemed to be nothing in the court and the capital recently that required the Censorate to speak out.

"The incident of the floating corpse in the North Sea that day is extremely ominous. As the New Year approaches, the people of the capital are abuzz with rumors. There are already rumors that Your Majesty's feng shui is incompatible with Daxia, which is why the floating corpse appeared. I wonder what the results of the Dali Temple's investigation are. The envoy has already taken the body back to Guizhou, and the case should have been concluded. Why have we kept it under wraps and allowed the people to believe these slanderous rumors?"

Liang Chongyue sat on the dragon throne, her eyes covering every corner of Daxia. There were some rumors in the capital recently, but they were not so serious, so she didn't want to care.

These crazy words were spread by spies from the North and Dai Viet. Once she dealt with these people, the crazy words disappeared with the wind.

Liang Chongyue looked through the bead curtain at the counselor standing in the hall with a stern look in his eyes.

"is it?"

There was a chill in Liang Chongyue's voice. Now everyone in the court followed His Majesty's lead, and everyone could hear His Majesty's displeasure.

Your Majesty is the first female emperor in this world. Such rumors do not just say that Your Majesty is incompatible with the feng shui of Daxia, but directly point out that Your Majesty, as a woman, cannot suppress the dragon veins of Daxia.

"I overheard this yesterday when I returned home. The people have different opinions on this matter. I fear it may damage your Majesty's prestige. I request that the Dali Temple announce the outcome of this case to the public."

Fan Jiang met the gaze of the Imperial Counselor. It seemed that the man could not hear the displeasure in the words of the Emperor, and he continued to insist on his decision. This case was not without a conclusion, but since the Emperor did not speak, he did not know whether he should say anything.

"I have already reported the conclusion of this case to Your Majesty long ago. Now that the people are living and working in peace and contentment, isn't it enough that the court is getting better and better? The capital has been peaceful for a long time, and suddenly such a shocking incident has occurred. It's understandable that the people will have some discussion. Is what the Grand Counselor is saying that I need to make the case public for all the matters that the people have debated?"

Fan Jiang was no pushover either. The case files kept in the Dali Temple collected all the difficult cases in the world, of which less than half were cases involving ordinary people, and the rest were mostly cases involving high-ranking officials in various states, counties and prefectures.

If the case is really made public after a few comments from the people, then those who died tragically in this world will probably not be able to find justice after their death.

The Imperial Counselor was rebuked by Fan Jiang's words, and then immediately changed direction:

"After all, this matter is of great importance. How can it be confused with an ordinary case?"
