Long Yue furrowed her elegant brows, vaguely remembering a major case from her past life—the Daliang Envoy Assassination!
The envoys from Liang Country were audacious enough to commit an assassination at the imperial banquet where His Majesty the Emperor received them!
The murder weapon was hidden in a wine jar from Xieji Restaurant.
The wine was reserved for the court, sealed with beeswax. Once opened, it couldn't be resealed. The wine was checked by specific personnel upon arrival, so no mistakes would occur.
Consequently, because the weapon was hidden in the wine jar, the Emperor believed that Xieji Restaurant was involved in the assassination. The Xie Family was subjected to a house search; the Family Head and direct descendants were beheaded, while the remaining male members were exiled as slaves and the females forced into military prostitution.
It was truly tragic!
Long Yue didn't expect that Xieji was the home of Su Shi's grandfather, which left her momentarily stunned.
