The Legend Of Beishang
134. Interrogating

"It looks like the punishment we gave before was less isn't it, what if I give you some food first ?" Asked Lin Qiaofeng.

When the man was about to open his mouth, Lin Qiaofeng immediately smothered the man's mouth and put in a single item of medicine that was released by him, ah it was not medicine but poison.

The man wanted to spit out the poison but Lin Qiaofeng had already firmly gripped the man's mouth which forced the man to swallow the poison.

After that Lin Qiaofeng walked back and sat down on a chair that was worn out and full of dust. The man immediately reacted and seemed to be struggling with pain.

"Lin Yue, ask what you want. " Say Lin Qiaofeng casually and invited Lin Yue to integrate the man.

"Who sent you ?" Asked Lin Yue.

"A noble surnamed Xi !" Said the man disconnectedly.

"Why did he send you ?" Asked Lin Yue once more.

"Don't know. " Say the man.

"What is his purpose ?" Lin Qiaofeng asked impatiently.

"We were asked to arrest the Crown Princess and bring Consort Yanping, but we don't know what Master will do. " Say the Man.

"Then, how much did they pay you ?" Asked Lin Qiaofeng.

"5,000 Golden Taels. "Chap the man, hearing this corner of Lin Qiaofeng's mouth lifted.

"Then, what do you want now ?" Asked Lin Qiaofeng again.

"Kill me !" Said the man.

"All right, I'll give it to you. " Murm Lin Qiaofeng.

With a single slash, the man's head fell down helplessly, no emotion whatsoever seemed in Lin Qiaofeng's bright eyes.

"As I said earlier this is not right, 5000 Gold Taels, I am afraid that other than a very rich person, it is impossible to spend that much money."

"They seem to have a very high interest in you until they put up 5,000 Gold Taels for the price of your head. 5,000 Gold Taels here were able to purchase 5 plots of fertile land with one spacious pavilion. " Next Lin Qiaofeng.

"That much ? If it was in the Tang Dynasty, then 5,000 Gold Taels could only afford 2 plots of fertile land. "Chap Lin Yue in confusion.

"Yes, that's that much. The money is huge and not everyone can spend it, but even if not everyone. If you have to record the possibility then there may still be dozens of names that can be suspects. It's not convenient to discuss this here, what if we're looking for somewhere to discuss ?" Asked Lin Qiaofeng while looking around.

"Of course, the wall has ears. It is better to be vigilant, we leave even predictable by them. But, your clothes are not comfortable to travel. " Say Lin Yue while pointing at her clothes that turned deep red.

"Luckily I always carry clothes with me when traveling, our body size does not differ much, wear mine. " Continue Lin Yue.

Lin Qiaofeng changed into Lin Yue's bright red clothes, this made Lin Qiaofeng less comfortable.

This, however, is reminiscent of my time at the Bei Wang residence, when he gave the whole person those red clothes.

But, how else ? Red was Lin Yue's favorite color, what else could one expect from Lin Yue's clothes ?

"Why is your face pouting ? Is it uncomfortable to wear my clothes ?" Asked Lin Yue in confusion.

"No it's comfortable, I'm fine, thank you. I'm just thinking about our plans going forward, it must be a difficult path, I'm confused about what we should do in the future. " Say Lin Qiaofeng looked for an excuse to cover his mind.

Lin Qiaofeng and Lin Yue walked away and looked for a famous restaurant in Chang'an, this kind of place was of course very crowded.

But, for some people who have more position it will be able to reserve a private space. The service in this place is also very good because the Crown Prince himself personally built and managed this place to eat.

"What do these two ladies want to eat ?" Ask one of the waiters kindly.

Lin Qiaofeng who had used the veil again, showed a stamp engraved with a building and gold in color.

This was something that every member of the Empire's harem possessed, but each tier had a different color.

The servant immediately lowered his head in and saluted, appearing much more courteous compared to before.

The servant led them towards one of the empty private rooms, Lin Qiaofeng and Lin Yue followed the servant without another word.

While the two of them became the center of attention of people due to their striking clothes as well as the servant's obedient attitude.

Only high-class nobles and members of the Empire could earn such deep respect from the servants of Qingxue Restaurant.

After all, as said at the beginning, the strength and power behind Qingxue Restaurant was not small. So that the waiter himself is well trained, giving respect according to the status possessed by visitors.

Although the common people also remained polite, but if that person was a respectable person to the servants it would act very obediently.

Lin Qiaofeng stared around with an indifferent gaze as if having no attachment to the mortal world, this place seemed to be well managed by the Crown Prince.

The good move made by the Crown Prince made the Crown Prince even much more favored by the Emperor again, so if the Crown Prince did not show a great flaw to the Emperor, then, ninety percent of the people who will be chosen as the next Emperor are the Crown Prince.

They finally went up to the third floor and entered one of the private rooms that was quite awake, but as Lin Yue said, the walls had ears so they still had to be on guard when talking.

"I'd like to ask for Chrysanthemum Flower Tea with some sweets. " Say Lin Qiaofeng to the waiter.

The waiter immediately left and took what was asked by him, Lin Qiaofeng thanked him and the waiter walked out after tightly closing the door.

"In this place, there are more than 30 names that can take out 5,000 Gold Taels, of course including myself. " Said Lin Qiaofeng proudly.

" Yes yes yes, do you think Lu Wang who is the Emperor's Cousin can spend this much money ?" Asked Lin Yue.

Lin Qiaofeng put on a thoughtful expression and looked puzzled, Noble Xi is very mysterious and does not have much information about him.

It was possible that some people had forgotten about the existence of the little Prince Xi Yue, who was given the title of Lu Wang.

Unlike the name Bei Wang which was able to scare away humans and ghosts, Lu Wang's name had even been forgotten by most people.

"I don't know, but it should be with his Imperial status then he should be able to spend that much money. But, I'm not sure about this myself." Said Lin Qiaofeng doubtfully.

"It is likely that indeed the person I want to investigate this with this person who got the title of Lu Wang is the same person. " Say Lin Yue in a low voice.

"It's probably so, there's no other possibility. It's a little unlikely that the Emperor ordered this, while the mystery is why this man could find out that we went together so quickly. " Murm Lin Qiaofeng.

"Is it possible that the messenger from your place ? Or the Empress ?" Asked Lin Qiaofeng with a deep sense of confusion.

Lin Yue's face instantly turned grim when she heard his words about those envoys from the Tang Dynasty.

"Most likely ! Damn it, I've made a big reproach ! " Lin Yue felt angry and hit the table.

"That mouth was a new person, but her ability in speaking was very good and father was very fond of her therefore father asked her to accompany me to go to the Qin Dynasty and become a Tang Dynasty envoy. " Say Lin Yue in annoyance.

Hearing those words Lin Yue made Lin Qiaofeng's forehead furrow violently and looked at Lin Yue with a strange feeling.

Emperor Lin Yi was a person with rich experience, it was impossible just because of his liking, Emperor Lin Yi to give up something as important as this to an unknown person.

Unless his closest person suggested this to Emperor Lin Yi or this was a person who had a good relationship with Emperor Lin Yi.

"It doesn't make sense ! There were two possibilities that made Emperor Lin Yi trust this stranger, first was that there was someone close to Emperor Lin Yi who suggested this middle of nowhere to him. While the second possibility is, this person has a close and deep relationship with Emperor Lin Yi without you knowing. " Say Lin Qiaofeng seriously.

"This is true, how could I possibly be so caught off guard ? Is it possible that my Imperial brother suggested this person to father ?"Mumbled Lin Yue while asking a question with a confused feeling that could not be held back.

"There may also be other possibilities associated with the second possibility, you may feel unhappy with this reality but this may be one of them. It's possible that this man was one of Lin Yi's sons with which woman I myself don't know. " Said Lin Qiaofeng.

Lin Yue even turned even more grim after hearing this, Lin Yue had always rejected the fact that her father liked to play with the many women out there without her knowledge.

"It's just my assumption, don't be mad don't take it personally. I know what's on your mind. " Talk Lin Qiaofeng first before Lin Yue voiced her dissatisfaction.
