"This lord has misunderstood." Murong Qi suppressed his anger and spoke seriously to Xiao Wen Feng as he listened to Cui Li upsetting the right and wrong, "There is no doubt that my Rui Xi country has always been friendly towards Ming Xuan Nation."

"Since what Lin Chuan said was true, then we will naturally investigate the matter and punish those who are at fault. We will bear the consequences of the accident as well, so please tell us the truth."

As he said this last sentence, Murong Qi was staring straight at Cui Li, making Cui Li's hair stand on end. However, on the surface, Cui Li was crying with gratitude.

"His Highness Prince Rui Xi is a man of great righteousness and courage. This official admires you greatly! Later on, I will order someone to send a list of the losses of the aristocratic families and merchants to His Highness' Guest House, and also to help His Highness pacify the families that have suffered losses, I hope that Your Highness can be at ease! "

Relax? Don't worry your head!

Mu Rong Qi could guarantee that if Cui Li played this part and comforted them, they would definitely add fuel to the fire and push the blame onto their heads. However, they couldn't refute him, let alone those injured aristocratic children, since their families were all in Liang Jing City.

However, merchants were different. They traversed the four seas, had a wide network of connections, and were capable merchants that dabbled in the white path of the imperial court and the underworld.

Although the consequences might not be big, it would definitely bring them a certain amount of loss.

"Since we made a mistake and caused a loss to the aristocratic families and the merchants, we should have personally come to apologize."

"The two of you didn't bring many people with you, did you?" Xiao Wen Feng sat on the Dragon Throne as he smiled. However, Murong Qi and Murong Tan felt an irresistible pressure.

"The two of you have come from far away and aren't familiar with Liang Jing's aristocratic families. It is inevitable that you have missed something. After all, the two of you are still young."

Xiao Wen Feng acted as if he was considering them and waved his hand, "Where is Hong Dian Temple? Draw up a letter and send it to the Emperor. "

Su Xing Yuan immediately leaned forward, "This subject obeys the decree."

Aren't you young? You should have no problem finding your parents directly, right?

Murong Qi's expression was stiff. If he were to poke his father because of this matter, then it didn't matter if his purpose of being sent by his father had been accomplished or not. He wouldn't be able to leave a good impression in front of his father.

"Your Majesty is overthinking things. It is because you are still young and are inconsiderate. Just as this lord said, please come and apologize in our place."

Xiao Wen Feng nodded his head in satisfaction, indicating that Cui Li should do it immediately.

How could Xiao Wen Feng not know what they were trying to do? They had gained the upper hand in this fight, which in turn increased their chances of victory.

"..."

The matter of paying a visit and paying compensation soon spread throughout Liang Jing City. This was a good opportunity to boost our momentum, and many people were involved in this to increase the prestige of the Ming Xuan Empire.

Closing the door to the bustle and liveliness of the outside world, Lu Jinniang lay on the soft couch in an extremely displeased manner. He rested his head on one hand and his elbow on the couch.

The fingers of his other hand played with the few strands of black hair draped over his shoulders. His smile was still the same as before, the only difference was that it exuded a sinister feeling. Mo Rufeng could not help but shiver.

"Mo Rufeng, tell me, did I tell you to give me an answer within three days, no matter what the results of the investigation are?"

Mo Rufeng carefully glanced at Lu JinNian, not daring to lie, "Yes, Lady Yi Han has her instructions."

"Well, tell me, how many days is it now?" Lu Jinniang had a brilliant smile on his face, "The matters that I told you on the 20th are only at the end of the month. Why didn't you wait for me to forget about you before coming over to tell me?"

Mo Rufeng smiled obsequiously. "Goddess, please calm down. This humble one has come here, and it's not easy to investigate."

How could he dare to tell Lu JinNian that it was his elder brother, Jian Huan Ling, who asked him to delay for a few days? Although Lu JinNian was also very scary, it was obvious that his elder brother was a bit more powerful.

Lu JinNian did not want to be entangled with this question too much, so he asked casually, "So you came here to find out? "Speak."

"Cough," Mo Rufeng cleared his throat, "I didn't manage to find out why the Zither of the Spring Water had fallen into the hands of Lady Yi or who it was given to her, but I can guarantee that anyone else won't be able to find out."

The light in Lu Jin Nian's eyes moved slightly. Since Mo Rufeng could say such words, he must have some confidence. For the person behind him to be able to erase his traces to such an extent, at the very least, it meant that his ability was extraordinary.

"Regarding the source of the Zither of the Spring, this one did manage to find out a few clues. It's said that before the founding of the Ming Xuan, Rui Xi, and Nanyun Kingdoms, this land of the three kingdoms was ruled by a dynasty called Da Xia."

At that time, the Xia King loved the sound of music, so he was on good terms with a zither-making zither master. The zither master made seven famous zithers for the Xia King, one of which was called Ming Quan.

"As for Madam Yi's zither, it is still unknown whether or not this water is that of Tian Mingquan."

Lu JinNian understood the history of this continent, so he naturally knew of the existence of the Da Xia Empire. He remembered that the last generation of the Xia King had no virtue, appointed evil officials, and harmed loyal and honest people.

As someone who had seen all kinds of ancient records in his previous life, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it. On the contrary, he felt that it was just a matter of course for history to develop, so he didn't care too much about it.

"Rumor has it that the last generation of the Xia King once hid a treasure within the Seven Zither. It's hard to say if those from the Duke of Yi's estate would believe the legends even if they heard them."

Lu JinNian nodded. It seemed like that guqin was really troublesome, and Xiao Su was very interested in the guqin. With one glance, he could tell that the person was looking for trouble. Tsk, tsk.

After obtaining what he wanted to know, Lu JinNian waved his hand without any trace of politeness and chased Mo Rufeng out.

He touched his own face and felt that he looked pretty good, a type that all women liked. He glanced back at Lu JinNian, hmm, as expected, this woman could not be judged using common sense.

Lu JinNian looked at Mo Ru Feng, who was still walking away, and chuckled, "What are you looking at?"

Seeing her smile, Mo Rufeng had a bad premonition. He quickly scampered off, thinking to himself, how can a mortal woman be compared to a goddess?

Women were cute, but goddesses were scary!
