Chapter 348 Conspiracy
In the middle of the night, on the moonlit night of spring river flowers, Yingying Yanyan.

At the back door of this famous brothel in Kyoto, an apparently ordinary carriage stopped slowly.

Walking down, a middle-aged man with extraordinary imposing manner came out.

If there are people from the six departments here, they will definitely exclaim, how could Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites come here.

This person is the Minister of Rites, Lou Yuan.

Officials are not allowed to have sex with prostitutes, but this rule is not monolithic. After all, it is human nature to be in charge of acquaintances. What's more, every official is actually not innocent, so Yu Shitai always turns a blind eye to it. In short, as long as there is no evidence, everything is just invisible. After all, the punishment for officials who engage in prostitution is not severe.

However, even if it is not important, it cannot be underestimated. Therefore, every official goes through the back door, and there are countless small courtyards in the backyard, which are not related to each other, so as to avoid the chance encounter with the Minister of the Ministry of Household after the Dragon of the Ministry of Rites flicks his tail. That would be embarrassing.

The backyard has its own guard to open the door.

After Lou Yuan entered, he came to a small courtyard with ease, undressed under the service of two maidservants, and then bathed in the wooden bucket covered with petals.

The water is very hot and naturally fragrant, the maid's hands are soft, and everything is the most wonderful touch.

Lou Yuan is naturally a monk, maybe his level is not high, but it is enough to prevent being followed.

After the bath is over, it's time for the head massager.

This is also an eternal process.

Lou Yuan was actually a little tired, but for him, otherwise, life seemed to have no other fun.

His family has a fierce wife.

Not long after the maid left, the sound of footsteps outside the door reappeared.

Lou Yuan smiled comfortably, and the reclining chair made of tearful bamboo moved. There was a thick brocade quilt under the reclining chair, which was extremely soft, like a girl's spring mountain.

In front of the recliner, there is a bottle of medicine on a small table with the words "Tathagata Stick" on it. It is self-evident what it is.

Lou Yuan looked at the bottle of medicine and fell silent.

Time is ruthless, even if he is a monk, he is just an ordinary monk, a monk who is refining and spinning.

A true great monk would disdain being an official, because the entanglement of cause and effect would cause inner demons to emerge when the mirror is broken.

But Lou Yuan didn't care, anyway, he also knew that he was not that material.

Being able to cultivate is already favored by heaven.

He reached for the bottle of medicine, poured out a red pill, and swallowed it.

Then, he frowned slightly.

The taste of this elixir is very strange, it seems to be completely different from those elixirs she has eaten before, and even has a bloody smell, which is extremely strong.

But he didn't care, it might be deer blood.

Great tonic things must be complicated, and he is not a doctor, so naturally he cannot hide them.

Shyness is one of the top traits of Chunjiang Huayueyue. Her skin is white and tender, and water can come out with just a pinch.

Lou Yuan is her frequent visitor, and she is also the highest-ranking official among her guests, so she cannot be neglected.

It's just that Lou Yuan's physical strength has been deteriorating day by day recently, which made her feel a little dull, and she deliberately yelled every time to cover it up.

After pushing the door and entering, he sighed shyly, looking at the bloated figure in the screen, feeling a little disgusted.

It is said that Lou Shangshu is a monk, but why can't he lose weight?

But at the next moment, Mischievous couldn't say anything, because she suddenly heard an extremely tragic voice.

Accompanied by this sound was the sound of bones being squeezed and flesh swelling, like a skin bag filled with enough water and continued to pour, similar to the feeling of being unbearable.

Bang!

Even though it was far away from the screen, the splattered flesh and blood still fell on Mishy's body. Fear swept over her, but what was more terrifying than the fear was that she knew that she had played.

Lou Yuan is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and one of the loyal dogs under the prince's seat. Once he dies, there will be a storm in the capital, and how can she stay out of it.

Not long after, Zhou Sheng, the governor of the Kyoto government office, brought his men to the scene of the crime in the Spring River Flower Moon Night with a sad face.

The only witness, Mishy, ​​one of the leading names, was already scared to death, but her mind was still clear. However, when Zhou Sheng asked her about the content of the case, she didn't get any useful information.

All in all, the information obtained so far is too simple, that is, Lou Shangshu had sex with a prostitute, and after taking a bath, he suddenly exploded.

If it wasn't for the murder of a court official, maybe Zhou Sheng would have laughed out loud, but now, he couldn't laugh.

Lou Yuan is the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, the prince's pawn, if it is deduced, it is most likely to be the king of Xin, but is this possible?

Maybe there was, but Zhou Sheng didn't dare to speculate because there was no evidence.

Seriously inspecting the corpse, even though the surroundings were full of blood and disgusting, but Zhou Sheng had already gotten used to it.

He can sit firmly in the position of governor of Kyoto, he must have two brushes.

The accompanying Wu Zuo frowned and said: "My lord, this kind of death is unbelievable, and the doors and windows have not been touched. There are only two possibilities. One, Lou Shangshu died by self-explosion, which may be caused by madness. The peak cultivator started to kill."

Zhou Sheng smiled wryly when he heard the words, he was very confident in the wisdom of his own work, but these two answers were extremely difficult to prove.

There is such a peak monk in Kyoto, but that one is a close friend of His Royal Highness, so it is impossible to do anything.

Therefore, the second possibility is a bit absurd.

You must know that every city gate in Kyoto is guarded by a large formation of national masters. Even the peak monks cannot escape when they enter the city, let alone the peak combat power of the peak monks.

Zhou Sheng sighed: "Protect the scene well. The impact of this matter is too great. The Ministry of Criminal Justice must intervene. But the murderer must be taken down in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, my position as Governor of Kyoto will be exhausted!"

The impact of this incident goes beyond that.

Due to the strange death of Lou Yuan on the Moonlight Night in the Spring River, the brothel became panicked. Not to mention the officials, even ordinary guests dare not come again. After all, there is only one life, and there are more than one brothel.

The crown prince also heard the news immediately, and convened a group of counselors in the East Palace study to discuss this difficult matter.

Lou Yuan is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and he has been of great help to Qin Chong. He can be said to be a pawn when he criticizes King Xin. Because of his outstanding literary talent, he knows the etiquette system well, and he can firmly sit on the position of prince. Lou Yuan has made great contributions.

Qin Zhong said heavily: "Losing Louyuan can be said to cut off half of my arm. If this murderer continues, I'm afraid I will lose control over the court."

The prince's military adviser, Liu Qing, who has no plans to leave behind, suggested: "Your Highness, Mr. Su's cultivation is peerless, second only to the national teacher. If His Highness asks him to help, maybe he can solve the case in a short time."

Qin Chong frowned.

It's not that he can't invite Suning, it's just that he thinks that such a simple matter to invite a peak cultivator is a bit of a sledgehammer, and it will give the other party a feeling of incompetence.

Liu Qing could naturally guess what the prince was thinking, without saying a word, she also knew that her proposal was a bit ridiculous.

Hubu Shangshu had the best personal relationship with Lou Yuan, and he was both sad and afraid of his death, because the other party's second target was very likely to be himself.

If the other party is a person who believes in the king, then there is a [-]% possibility.

Even if he didn't know how King Xin would invite such a terrible killer, but if it was true, he should let the crown prince protect him.

Hubu Shangshu Meng Qingfeng panicked and said: "Your Highness, this matter is in the best interest of King Xin. If King Xin really did it, then Your Highness should make preparations early."

Liu Qing thought for a while and said: "It's impossible for King Xin, it's too obvious, but there is no doubt that King Xin is the beneficiary. From my guess, King Xin must have something to do with this matter. Otherwise, this matter is too weird!"

Qin Chong frowned and said: "There is no evidence, and even the most stupid person in this matter can guess that the winner is the second brother, so will the second brother be so stupid?"

Liu Qing shook her head, "Your Highness, until this matter comes to fruition, all speculation is meaningless. Moreover, His Highness has another enemy, and she wants to get rid of His Highness more than King Xin."

"Pei Meiren."

"Yes."

Liu Qing nodded and said: "The battle between King Xin and His Royal Highness is kingly, but Mei Mei is different. Once His Highness ascends the throne, King Xin may be able to take care of himself alone, but Mei Ren will definitely be thrown into the cold palace or buried by His Majesty. What's more, Pei Meiren is very weird."

"That's right." Qin Chong thought about Pei Meiren's weird charm, and said with lingering fear, "Pei Meiren is indeed too beautiful, if it weren't for the "Bing Xin Jue" gifted by the national teacher, maybe I would have been attracted by her at that time. Hooked away the soul."

Liu Qing sighed and said: "Your Highness, whether it is Pei Meiren or King Xin, this incident will definitely trigger a storm in the court. If the two of them join forces, it will be terrible. Pei Meiren may be a monster."

Qin Chong actually didn't believe this at all, and felt that Liu Qing was worrying unfoundedly.

He smiled and said: "Liu Qing, don't think too much. This matter may not be that complicated. It may be just an accident."

Liu Qing stopped talking.

Qin Chong also fell silent.

In fact, he also knew that this matter was not simple, so he said after a long time: "The military force in the capital has always been controlled by the emperor, and the second brother is in charge of the patrol battalion. Everyone, be careful. I will ask the emperor for some soldiers and horses to protect everyone. Until the murderer is put to death."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

……

Three days later, Hubu Shangshu died in the garden of the mansion, his whole body exploded, and his death was terrible.

The prince's family became completely panicked, and even a few cartilage boys directly took refuge in King Xin, even if there was no evidence to prove that it was King Xin's hand, but no one was willing to take the risk.

His Majesty the Emperor was not in a hurry, he was still addicted to Pei Meiren's gentleness and couldn't help himself.

This made the prince anxious.

But he has nothing to do.

The murderer's attack was too strange and there was no trace at all. Therefore, the murderer must be a monk, and a peak monk, otherwise, the guardian formation of the national teacher would definitely notice it.

Therefore, the prince was going to discuss with Suning.

As a peak cultivator, Su Ning must be able to find clues. If it turns out that it is the second brother and Pei Meiren, all problems will be wiped out, and he can be completely relieved.

Suning's cultivation was affirmed by the national teacher.

Qin Zhong is full of confidence.

However, he couldn't see through the background behind Pei Meiren.

The sun is shining, even if the wind is chilly, it is enough to make people warm.

Qin Chong got off the carriage at the Su Mansion. Since it was not the first time he had entered the Su Mansion, he entered directly without notification. The guards in front of the mansion were terrified.

……

Suning is practicing sword formation in the garden pavilion.

The mouth of the cyan Yangjian gourd was opened, and a sword aura soaring into the sky was radiating from it, and countless cyan sword glows kept flickering.

In Wei Jiujiu's sword formation, there is actually only one sword formation, called Ten Thousand Swords Like Dragons.

It is necessary to use [-] short swords made of green spirit steel to put them in the sword-raising gourd to warm them up, and then fuse them with their own sword energy, and then they can control the sword with their minds.

Raising a sword gourd is the treasure of a sword cultivator, but Suning is not a sword cultivator and does not have a natal flying sword, so the extra sword energy is of no benefit to him.

Just when Suning Wen Yang Feijian ended, Wei Changjiu's phantom suddenly appeared in the pavilion.

"That's right, it's very rare that my Ten Thousand Swords Like a Dragon can be trained so well in such a short period of time. You are the most talented person in the way of swords I've ever seen, but it's a pity that you are not a swordsman." Wei Changjiu felt a little regretful.

Su Ning said indifferently: "You must not be here to express regret when you come here."

Wei Jiujiu nodded and said: "I'm here to tell you that your disaster has begun. This Kyoto mystery case is the beginning of your disaster. If you want to become an immortal, in addition to merit, you must also experience these two disasters. I hope You can handle it."

Hearing this, Su Ning frowned and said, "Doom? I've also heard about this conspiracy in Kyoto. The monks at the peak can indeed cover up the air mechanism and manipulate the magic weapon to kill people, but it's impossible for your formation to be unaware. Could it be this You did it on purpose."

Wei Changjiu smiled and said: "Sure enough, the current emperor is useless, but I really don't know how to choose between the prince and the king of Xin, so this layout is to choose an heir to the throne that I am satisfied with."

Suning was slightly displeased.

This kind of way of raising Gu is really unlikable.

However, there are too many things in the past history, and it is not unacceptable.

Wei Changjiu smiled lightly and said: "For me, Shanhe Tower must be handed over to an emperor who can suppress the fate of the country. Therefore, this is a choice that must be made. I can reveal this secret to you once. As long as Shanhe Tower is completed, you The merits and virtues will be filled instantly, but the premise is that the prince must become the owner of Shanhe Tower."

Suning's expression gradually became serious.

Even he was a little surprised that as long as he presses the right treasure, he can get all the merits of becoming an immortal.

Suning hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can I hide?"

Wei Changjiu smiled and said: "You can't hide, Crown Prince and King Xin, you have to choose one, your Dao root has been connected with the Longyuan Dynasty, of course I am the same, but I am with the entire dynasty, and you are only with one person. "

Suning sighed and smiled wryly.

Wei Changjiu's figure was scattered, leaning toward the sky.

Su Ning said to himself: "You have created a problem for me! The battle for the throne, the bloody storm in it is not comparable to other court struggles, and even the capital will be turned into muddy water. Yes, it’s not the people who have no resistance.”

"Your Highness, just come in."

Suddenly, Suning said calmly.

On the stone path outside the gazebo, in the bamboo forest, Qin Zhong walked slowly, and said with some self-deprecation: "I have been with Brother Su for a long time, and we are congenial, and I forgot that Su Ning is a peak cultivator before I know it. This is a little joke. How can I hide it from Brother Su."

Qin Chong walked into the gazebo and sat down, while Suning poured him tea.

"His Royal Highness Xiangbi came to me for the conspiracy in Kyoto."

"Brother Su really has a clever plan."

"Right now, people are panicking about this conspiracy. His Highness really wants to catch the murderer as soon as possible to calm people's hearts."

"It's just that the murderer is really cunning, and according to our speculation, this person is a peak cultivator, so he came to trouble Brother Su."

"No trouble, it's just that I need His Royal Highness to give me a privilege."

"Brother Su, feel free to say, as long as it's not too serious, feel free to mention it."

"I need a right to thoroughly investigate the capital, even the imperial palace."

"This one……"

Qin Zhong hesitated for a while and arrived after a long time: "Yes, but in the palace, Brother Su needs my company. Moreover, Brother Su cannot break into the second brother's mansion without evidence."

"That's natural."

"I don't know where Brother Su will start to investigate?"

"Go to the autopsy first."

"Oh, autopsy?"

Qin Chong was puzzled.

Su Ning explained: "In this case, the method of murder must be found out, otherwise the scope of the murderer cannot be narrowed down based on the method."

Qin Chong understood: "Brother Su is really all-rounder."

"Your Highness is serious." Su Ning said modestly, "I just prefer to observe, but Your Highness should also be careful. If you don't have a real dragon's luck to protect you, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape the murderer's poisonous hand, and, really Dragon luck is not incomprehensible, if the murderer deciphers the mystery, His Highness will be in danger."
