Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 438
Seeing that Conan was so forthright, Li Canghai thought about it for a while, but he didn't refuse anymore, and said, "If that's the case, then respect is worse than obedience."

"Okay, Brother Li, wait here, I'll go get the wine, and let the cook make some appetizers!" Conan was so excited, he cupped his hands at Li Canghai, and then quickly left the room.

After Conan left, Wanyu asked curiously, "My lord, who are you looking for here?"

Li Canghai looked at Wanyu and said, "The people I'm looking for have been found, and they are the Japanese envoys."

"Why do you want to find them, son?" Wanyu asked puzzled.

Li Canghai stroked his chin and said, "It's a long story, and you'll know when the time is right."

Hearing what Li Canghai said, Wanyu didn't ask any more questions, and quickly dozed off lying on the bed.

But at this moment, there was a sudden noise outside.

Li Canghai looked at the sleepy Wanyu, closed the door gently, and walked out of the room.

On the opposite side, under a temporary hut, Conan was angrily arguing with a fat guard, while a fat man with an apron around his waist tried to persuade him to fight.On the ground, there were broken wine jars everywhere, and the wine flowed all over the floor.

"Brother Conan, what's going on?" Li Canghai asked.

Conan's face was a little ugly, he pointed at the fat guard who was arguing with him, and said angrily: "I came to get the tribute wine, but I saw that this guy wanted to smash all the tribute wine! Damn, really hateful! These horrible It's all tribute wine!"

Looking at the wine flowing on the ground, Li Canghai also felt a little pity, but what he was even more curious about was, since the fat guard knew it was tribute wine, how dare he smash it into pieces?
"Brother Conan, calm down, is there something else hidden in this?" Li Canghai said.

Before Conan could speak, the fat guard said, "My lord, as I said, this matter has nothing to do with me, I am just following orders."

"According to orders? Who are you ordering? These are tribute wines to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty. Who is so bold to order to destroy them?" Li Canghai was suddenly a little curious.

The fat guard muttered: "It was the princess who ordered me to smash it! Damn Nobi, the princess clearly asked him to smash the wine jar, but he was too lazy to move and forced it on me. If it wasn't He pressured me with the princess, so I wouldn't do such a shitty thing!"

"Princess?" Li Canghai was stunned for a moment. He looked at Conan, who was also a little stunned, and asked, "Is this an order from the princess?"

At this time, the fat man next to him with oil stains on his body said, "I can prove that what the fat guard said is true."

Li Canghai sized up the fat man, saw that his body was covered with oily smoke, and asked, "Are you a cook?"

The cook nodded.

"Can you tell me what's going on?" Li Canghai asked.

The cook said: "Before I went to deliver food to the princess. When I came to the hall, I gave the food to the princess's maid. The maid sent a message saying that the princess had an order to ask the skinny guard to smash all the wine jars, The rest of the tributes were also burned. The thin guard was lazy by nature, so he handed over the matter to the fat guard on the grounds of protecting the princess. Although the fat guard was displeased, he didn't dare to disobey the princess's order, so he had to come and smash it. Wine jar."

Li Canghai looked at Conan and asked him what to do.

Conan sighed, and said: "The princess is too self-willed, I will go to the princess to find out, this tribute wine was deliberately damaged, is it a child's play?"

With that said, Conan took Li Canghai to the front of the shrine.

"Nobi-kun, please trouble Princess Tong and tell her that I have something important to discuss with her." Coming to the hall, Conan cupped his hands to the skinny guard.

The skinny guard was leaning against the wall, with a bright smirk streaming from the corner of his mouth, as if he was sleeping soundly.

Conan frowned slightly and barked a few times before the skinny guard woke up from his deep sleep. He looked at Conan blankly, yawned a long way, and said, "The princess said, we don't see any guests, please sir. Come back!"

"Nobi-kun, I do have something important to discuss with the princess, so hurry up and report it!" The dignified Minister of Punishment was stopped by a small guard, Conan's face gradually became a little uneasy, his face darkened, and his voice suddenly raised a lot .

Who would have thought that the skinny guard gave him a blank look, and lazily said: "My lord, the princess said that she didn't see anyone, if you don't believe me, just go in by yourself."

Conan was stunned for a moment, his face turned blue and white, very ugly.

Li Canghai saw it and felt a little funny.

This mere bodyguard dared to be so rude to the minister, but the minister dared not speak, it is really interesting.

"Brother Conan, he is just a bodyguard. As a minister of punishment, why are you afraid of him? Just go in." Li Canghai said in a low voice.

Conan smiled wryly and shook his head. He sighed, and said, "Brother Li doesn't know my Dongying system. The princess is a member of the royal family. Although I am a minister, I dare not contradict the princess. Otherwise, I will be disrespectful to the emperor."

Li Canghai touched his nose, but he didn't know that although the Dongying system was learned from the Tang Dynasty, it was also different.

There is still a saying in the Tang Dynasty: the prince breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people.

But this is not the case in Dongying. In Dongying, the royal family is the sky and the gods!
They are above the law, and they represent the supremacy of Japan.

The idea of ​​"imperial power granted by heaven" is far more deeply rooted in Japan than in the Central Plains.

Although Conan is not like those samurai who accept the idea of ​​allegiance to the emperor, he still respects the Japanese royal family.

Li Canghai knew what he meant, the princess represented the Japanese royal family, and this skinny guard was responsible for the princess' safety, no wonder he was so tired.

Conan stood in front of the door, suddenly in a dilemma.

Seeing that his face was quite ugly, the thin guard seemed to feel that this was too embarrassing for him, so he thought for a while and said, "Master Conan is here for the tribute wine?"

Conan froze for a moment, he looked at the skinny guard suspiciously, and asked, "Do you know the purpose of my coming?"

The thin guard yawned and said lazily: "If you come here for this, then your lord will not have to see the princess. I can tell you that it was indeed the princess who ordered you to smash the wine jars. Except for those wine jars , together with other tributes, the princess will be destroyed. However, I have handed over this matter to the fat guard, and it has nothing to do with me. Mr. Conan might as well ask the fat guard, if you go in time, maybe there is time to prevent him from destroying other tributes. "

"It's really the princess's order? Oh, how can the princess be so willful?" Conan suddenly felt a headache, he sighed, and asked, "Why did the princess destroy the tribute?"

The skinny guard drooped his head, as if he could fall asleep at any time. He rubbed his eyes and said with difficulty: "Who knows... But, according to Ling Ji, this is all done on purpose by the princess. In the world, there is no need for these extraneous things to set off, these tributes can only be set off by the rouge and vulgar fans of the world."
