Homecoming Speech

Fu Danggui told Liu Yunian to find out what caused the blood spots on the ground, and then ordered Huzi to hide the last corpse in the Chu Palace and go straight to the Chu Palace.

The guards of the palace stopped the two of them without saying a word, and said sullenly: "Wait at the door!"

This wait is an hour.

The sun was shining brightly, and Huzi was dizzy from the sun, Fu Danggui stood upright, but there was no trace of impatience on his face.

The delicate maid lowered her head and said politely to the two people at the door: "The king of Chu is here to invite you."

The housekeeper had already set up some refreshments, and as soon as Fu Danggui sat down, the maid obediently brought the tea in front of him.

"My lord, please have some tea." The little maid looked up at him with a spring look in her eyes.

Fu Danggui blushed in an instant, and stammered over the tea, looked down at the ground, and saw the embroidered shoes on the maid's feet.

The petite and delicate embroidered shoes are embroidered with butterflies flying all over the sky, and two pearls are matched with silk thread on the butterfly's eyes. Although the beads are not round, they have an excellent skin luster.

"Your embroidered shoes are beautiful," Fu Danggui said with a blushing face.

The little maid hurriedly hid her feet in her skirt, looked up at the King of Chu, and said shyly, "It's just embroidered according to the shoe pattern, so it's not eye-catching."

The King of Chu came in from outside the door, happened to see the two talking, a sneer sneered at the corner of his mouth and said, "Why is Mr. Fu here?"

"I want to give a gift to the King of Chu." Fu Danggui stood up and saluted, and then said, "There is bacon I brought from my hometown in the car, and I hope the prince will not dislike it."

After finishing speaking, he ordered Huzi to drive the carriage to the backyard of King Chu's mansion.

The King of Chu drove away the maid beside him with a wave of his hand, "Where is this special product?"

"Shanxia Lake," Fu Danggui smiled slightly, "I think the prince has never heard of it in the backcountry."

"Of course I have heard that the folk customs of the mountain lake are simple and rich in pearls, Master Fu is humble." Chu He's eyes were cold, the mountain lake is at least a month away from the imperial city, and his imperial brother died before the woman was killed. Called him to take office.

Fu Danggui was noncommittal, and asked instead: "I just heard that there is a music of bells and drums in the prince's mansion. I wonder if I can see it?"

"I'm afraid it's inconvenient," Chuhe said indifferently, "These musicians are preparing for the Queen Mother's birthday, and they cannot bear the delay."

"What if I want to see you very much?" Fu Danggui smiled slightly. Among the three people who died, one was good at playing the piano, and the other two were good at playing the flute.

"Master Fu is a high-ranking official. If I really want to see you, how can I stop me?" Chu He narrowed his sharp eyes slightly, turned and told the guards behind him, "Xiao Feng, take Master Fu to see the musicians!"

The guards said hello with displeasure, regardless of whether they followed or not, they walked towards the other courtyard on their own.

The Prince Chu's mansion is really big, Fu Danggui saw the little maid just now on the road, and before he could say hello, the maid ran away shyly.

The guards brought him to the musical instrument courtyard, Fu Danggui opened the door and entered. There were more than a dozen men and women sitting in the room, who were practicing seriously. When they saw strangers coming in, they stopped what they were doing and looked at them curiously.

"My next Yao Niang," the leading woman was dressed in red, she looked very pretty, she wanted to drive out the future, but when she saw King Chu's guard standing at the door, she changed her tone and asked respectfully, "Who is this? "

"Fu Danggui, the newly appointed Jing Zhaoyin has surprised you all." He bowed slightly, paying attention to the expressions on everyone's faces.

Yao Niang's face was a little unnatural for a moment, and she hurriedly invited him outside, "My lord, just ask me if you have anything, the day given by the prince is coming soon, they can't be distracted by trivial matters."

"Small things?" Fu Danggui raised his eyebrows, "The little things you talk about mean three lives?"

Yao Niang looked a little disdainful, "For us, our own life is a big deal, and the life and death of others is a trivial matter."

Fu Danggui frowned, but he stopped arguing with her, "Does the girl know Liang Sheng?"

Liang Sheng was the latest deceased. He was a man who was brought back to the mansion by the King of Chu. He was good at playing flute.

"I know," the smile on Yao Niang's face became even more disdainful, "I see him as a lonely and pitiful man, doing despicable things in the troupe garden, and bringing him back to the palace to feed him, who knows that this thing has climbed up to the prince in a blink of an eye. Pooh!"

"Didn't the prince bring Liang Sheng back to the mansion?" Fu Danggui asked.

"Of course not, the prince has his own principles," Yao Niang said without hesitation.

Huzi murmured behind him, "I think Chu Wangye is quite accommodating to the young master."

Yaoniang's face changed when she heard the words, and she looked at Fu Danggui with a strange expression.

"Is Liang Sheng's Xiao Chui good?" Fu Danggui then asked.

Unexpectedly, Yaoniang's expression became even weirder. Doesn't this lord know that the prince likes men?Playing the flute is skillful with the mouth, and playing the piano is skillful with the hands. Naturally, they would serve the prince comfortably, and said with red earlobes, "It's so-so, it's just that the appearance is good."

"What's the relationship between him and the two deceased?" Fu Danggui didn't notice Yaoniang's expression, and still asked.

Yao Niang thought for a while, and said truthfully: "They all came from a pear garden before, should they communicate in private?"

"Why did you go to the same troupe to select candidates?" Fu Danggui was puzzled, should he choose one by one?It doesn't make sense.

Yao Niang said frankly: "The owner of this troupe has run away, and the remaining musicians and actors are left unattended. It's very cheap."

"But you brought them back to the palace, and they died, three in a row, do you think it makes sense?" Fu Danggui looked straight into Yaoniang's eyes.

Yao Niang exaggeratedly covered her mouth, and said sharply: "Master Fu, what do you mean, they all died outside, what does it have to do with us?"

Fu Danggui wanted to ask something else, but Yaoniang became impatient, and turned her head to walk in while disdainfully said: "Some people are destined to die, we can't control it."

Huzi wanted to stop her, but was stopped by the guards, so he could only stomp his feet angrily.

Before Yao Niang entered the door, she turned her head and smiled sweetly at Fu Danggui, and said softly, "My lord, life in Liyuanzi is cheap, lonely and helpless, it's not worth your concern."

Fu Danggui's eyes sank slightly, he bowed his head in thought, and stopped talking.

As it was getting late, he and Huzi stayed in Chu Palace, and the guards respectfully took him to the guest room to stay.

But who would have thought that something would happen to Chu Palace again that night.

Fu Danggui listened to the commotion outside, put on a coat and ran out.

The other courtyard of Lefang was crowded with people, Chuhe stood aside with a sullen face, the corpse on the ground was wrapped in white cloth, and the corner of the fiery red skirt could be vaguely seen.

Fu Danggui frowned, walked quickly to the white cloth, and lifted the white cloth with trembling fingers.

The woman's delicate face seemed to be still in front of her eyes, her pale as paper face was covered with bruises, her clothes were almost torn into pieces, obviously she had suffered great abuse during her lifetime.
