Chapter 15 Chen Pingping is furious and summoned by Emperor Qing
The next day, the news of the words engraved on the stone tablet of the Supervisory Council spread like wildfire.

The entire Kyoto was blocked.

The Supervisory Commission began to check on suspicious persons at each exit.

Emperor Qing also knew about this matter.

So Emperor Qing summoned Chen Pingping.

"Are there any clues about the Overwatch Council's engraving?"

"Your Majesty, there is no clue yet. But according to my speculation, it is very likely that the Northern Qi delegation did it."

Emperor Qing took a bow and shot an arrow through the heavy armor.

"Then tell me, who in the delegation did it?"

"There are two extremely suspicious people in the Northern Qi delegation. One is Ye Qi, the new commander of the Northern Qi Jinyiwei Zhenfu Division, and the other is his bodyguard Wang Jian. I think it is very likely that these two are responsible."

"Oh? Do you have any evidence?"

"There is no evidence yet. This is just my guess. The delegation had just arrived in Kyoto yesterday, and this happened at night. They must want to use this incident to suppress the momentum of our Qing Kingdom and test the bottom line of our Daqing."

"Ye Qi is the commander of the Northern Qi Jinyiwei, and his position is the same as your position as the president of the Supervisory Council. How do you plan to deal with it?"

Chen Pingping shook his head: "Collect evidence first, and if the evidence is conclusive, try to arrest him immediately."

"What if we can't gather any evidence?"

"This... I don't know what to do. Ye Qi is in a high position in Northern Qi. If we arrest him without evidence, it will have a great impact on the relationship between the two countries. What's more, they came here for the purpose of marriage."

"You are the president of the Supervisory Council, Chen Pingping. You have seven days to catch the murderer, or you will be punished."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Chen Pingping left the palace.

Returning to the Supervisory Office, Fan Xian also came to the Supervisory Office.

Fan Xian originally wanted to help investigate the matter.

But Chen Pingping refused.

Chen Pingping's original words were: "This matter concerns the reputation of the Supervisory Yuan. Carving words on the stone tablet is equivalent to slapping me, Chen Pingping, in the face. I will personally investigate this matter thoroughly."

Fan Xian said, "Dean Chen, it says 'Alpaca was here'. I can probably guess who carved it."

Chen Pingping smiled slightly: "Ye Qi?"

Fan Xian exclaimed: "How did you know?"

When Fan Xian saw the word "alpaca" engraved on it, he immediately guessed that it was Ye Qigan's work. After all, only modern people know the meaning of alpaca.

Fan Xian wondered why Ye Qi wanted to carve an alpaca. The Second Prince looked like an alpaca, so it might be a joke.

But this joke is a bit too much.

Chen Pingping sighed: "The only people who dare to act so presumptuously in Qing Kingdom are the people of Northern Qi, but there is no evidence now."

"No evidence at all?"

"No, there weren't even any footprints when they left."

"That's going to be difficult." Fan Xian murmured.

Fan Xian went to the Supervisory Office in the morning and arrived at Ye Qi's residence in the afternoon.

At this time, Ye Qi was reading a book with illustrations of Overlord Spear.

"Lord Ye has such a refined taste, reading a comic book here." Fan Xian teased.

"Oh, isn't this Lord Fan? I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person." Ye Qi smiled.

Fan Xian approached Ye Qi and whispered, "Why did you carve words in the Overwatch Council last night?"

Ye Qi looked bewildered: "Master Xiao Fan is really a joker. I dare not do such a thing. That is the Supervisory Council of Qing Kingdom."

Fan Xian said speechlessly: "Just pretend. If we find evidence, you'll be in big trouble."

Ye Qi smiled slightly: "It wasn't me who did it, so how can I be in trouble? If Master Xiao Fan came here today to make me admit this, then I can't admit it."

"Okay, okay, I don't care about this matter. I came here today to talk to you about something else."

"what's up?"

"My brother, Versace, is in some trouble. I want to send him to Northern Qi to hide out temporarily. I hope Commander Ye can take care of him."

Versace was being investigated by the higher-ups because of the incident at Baoyue Tower. "This is a small matter, no problem. As long as your brother Versace is in Northern Qi, no one dares to touch him."

"Is Commander Ye really that capable?" Fan Xian was somewhat incredulous.

"I will never go back on my word." Ye Qi said.

Fan Xian gave a thumbs up: "Since you helped me, I owe you a favor. If you need anything, I can help you."

"What a coincidence, there is something going on."

Fan Xian asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"

Ye Qi said: "I want to take a photo with Emperor Qing."

"Group photo? Are you kidding me? You can only take group photos if you have a camera."

At this time, Ye Qi took out a camera from his pocket and took a picture of Fan Xian.

Fan Xian took the camera in surprise and said, "Master Ye, Master Ye, you brought a camera with you when you traveled through time?"

Ye Qi nodded: "The battery is running low, so I thought I'd take a few photos with Emperor Qing while it's still usable."

In fact, Ye Qi was also speechless. The tasks of this sign-in system were very strange.

I have to take a photo with the four masters.

This thing is easy to say but very difficult to achieve.

For example, what should we do if we want to take a photo with Emperor Qing, one of the grand masters?

How to explain this to Emperor Qing?

Stand next to Emperor Qing and make a "yeah" sign. Will Emperor Qing do this?
I can only ask Fan Xian for help and see if he can act as a middleman and help complete this task.

Fan Xian looked at Ye Qi cautiously: "I don't think things are that simple. Lord Ye, you don't want to assassinate Emperor Qing, do you? "

One of Ye Qi’s missions is indeed to kill Emperor Qing.

but not now.

How could he possibly kill Grandmaster Qing Emperor if he broke into the palace now, especially since he was surrounded by so many experts.

"Emperor Qing is surrounded by many experts. To assassinate Emperor Qing is to commit suicide. I just wanted to take a picture."

"Just take a picture?"

“Just take a picture.”

"What's the reason?"

"Leave a portrait for Emperor Qing to be passed down through the ages."

"This reason is a bit far-fetched, but why not give it a try? Let me tell you, once this is done, I won't owe you any favors."

So, Fan Xian sent someone to tell Emperor Qing that Ye Qi wanted to meet him.

It just so happened that Emperor Qing also wanted to meet the new commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard of Northern Qi.

That evening, Ye Qi and Fan Xian were summoned by imperial decree.

Emperor Qing summoned the two of them to his study.

First meeting with Emperor Qing.

Emperor Qing looked lazy, sitting there fiddling with gunpowder.

"Foreign minister Ye Qi pays respect to His Majesty!"

Ye Qi glanced at Emperor Qing from the corner of his eye. Emperor Qing was concentrating on tinkering with something and did not look unhappy.

"Tell me, Commander Ye, what do you want from me?"

Ye Qi glanced at Fan Xian.

Fan Xian said, "Your Majesty, Commander Ye wants to leave a portrait of you for posterity."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing put down the props in his hand and said, "Oh? Commander Ye can paint?"

Ye Qi said: "The painting level is average, but it can be completed with the help of props."

Having said that, Ye Qi took out his camera.
