My wife is weirder than the last

"Miao Cairen, have you checked?"

"Your Majesty, this servant was indeed in charge of searching for Miao talents, but she was not found out to be an assassin. This servant is guilty. I beg Your Majesty to spare your life." The two servants said nervously and panicked.

Li Xun didn't speak, just waved his hand lightly, and the two guards led them to the left.

There are instruments of torture over there, and two sorcerers are waiting there.

Ordinary people with a strong will may be able to withstand physical punishment, but it is impossible to survive spiritual punishment.

These two magicians are specialized in mental punishment.

In the cell of Dali Temple before, Gu Qingyuan treated Miao Ziyi like this, so he dared to guarantee that Miao Ziyi really didn't know anything.

Soon, there was a shrill scream that reached the depths of the soul from the left.

The sound was very loud, and it was extremely intrusive in this large and quiet open space.The servants who were kneeling on the ground were all pale and trembling.

After half a moment of effort, their throats were already hoarse, and the punishment stopped.One of the guards came over and cupped his fists at Li Xun.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with these two."

Li Xun glanced at the two servants who were no longer in human shape on the ground, and waved his right hand lightly, "Cut it off."

"promise."

The guard led the order to go back, and another guard took up the knife and cut them down.

The head and body were separated, and blood flowed all over the ground in an instant.

The eunuch waiting behind the flower garden came over with a bucket, wiped the ground clean in an instant, and then dragged the two bodies away, as if no murder had ever happened.

Li Xun looked at these kneeling people, and continued to ask calmly, "After the initial trial, who are the servants who will temporarily take care of Miao Cairen's daily life?"

Another guard brought out seven or eight maidservants.

Li Xun didn't ask any questions this time, and directly asked them to take Xing Wen away.

The same scene happened again, and seven or eight fresh lives disappeared again.

It was like this for the next half an hour.

Today's sun was a bit dazzling, Li Xun stood under the scorching sun with his hands behind his back, with a calm posture.

Yu Gan lowered his head, watching batch after batch of servants being tortured and then dying.The most painful screams in the world filled my ears.

Life is so cheap at this moment.

Although these people have done nothing wrong, being in the palace itself may be the biggest mistake.

In the end, there were only sporadic kneeling crowds left.

Only then did Li Xun turn his head to look at Gu Qingyuan and asked, "Old Gu, there seems to be no problem with Miao Cairen's normal process."

With a normal face, Gu Qingyuan bowed and said, "Return to Your Majesty, maybe Miao Cairen used magic to cover up the flaws with the help of others, so it is reasonable that these eunuchs and female officials can't find any abnormalities.

The old minister remembers that Xiu Nu presented to His Majesty

"Yeah." Li Xun nodded, "I've already asked someone to call someone."

At this moment, a father-in-law came hurriedly from a distance, came to Li Xun and bowed his knees and said, "Your Majesty, Master Sun Shu committed suicide."

"When did it happen?" Li Xun asked indifferently.

The eunuch hurriedly replied, "When the servant passed by, he found his body hanging from the beam."

Perhaps out of anger, Li Xun smiled lightly, "It's a coincidence."

"Your Majesty, the old minister will notify the spirit examiner to come and check." Gu Qingyuan said proactively.

"It will be done by a special person in the palace, so there is no need to worry about it." Li Xun waved his hand, then looked at the remaining eunuchs and maidservants below, with a big wave of his hand,

"Chop them all off. The female officials and eunuchs selected by the show girls will be re-selected."

After finishing speaking, Li Xun turned his head and said to Yu Gan and the other three, "Follow me."

Yu Gan and the others followed, but none of them looked back at the tragic situation behind them, only the endless sounds of begging and beheading lingered in their ears.

Yu Gan sighed in his heart, who said Li Xun was the Confucian Emperor?It's not soft to cut people down.

No, I don't know who got Miao Cairen.If you put the hat on Li Xun's head, can you stop killing people?

The thing Yu Gan regrets most now is agreeing to Bai Xingjian to take over these two cases.At that time, I thought I could get some credit.

Now it seems that it is purely a hot potato.If this one is not done well, it won't be him who will be chopped off by then, right?

Thinking of this, Yu Gan's eyelids began to jump wildly.

The place Li Xun took them to was at the side hall of the palace. This was the place where the magicians in the palace lived specially, and the magician who committed suicide was right here.

When Yu Gan and the others arrived, the courtyard of that Sun Shushi was already surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army, and there were still two special spirit examiners waiting outside.

Seeing Li Xun coming, the guards lined up on both sides of the gate, bowing respectfully.

Yu Gan and the others followed Li Xun into the room.

The courtyard is very simple, and the decoration of the main house is even more simple.The body of a man in his 30s hangs from the beams of the house.

The two spirit examiners outside the house hurried in, and after questioning Li Xun, they worked together to carry the corpse down.

Those who can work as magicians in the palace are generally innocent.

Because most of the magicians in the palace are directly selected from the upper Yin Palace.The Shangyin Palace is the official practice institution of Daqi, and it recruits practitioners from all over the world to enter the Shangyin Palace every year.

After the cultivation is successful, they will be assigned to the various official services of Daqi.

It can be regarded as the Huangpu of Daqi, the kind with extremely pure blood.The aptitude to be able to enter the Yin Palace to practice is not too bad, and they usually hold important positions after they come out.

Shines and glows in some important places.

These monks in the Shangyin Palace can be said to be spread across various institutions in Daqi.For example, Dali Temple, the Temple of Catching Monsters, and Qin Tianjian all have monks from the Yin Palace.

The archers of the Longyou and Longzuo armies were basically from the Shangyin Palace.

The well-deserved cradle of Daqi's high-end combat power.

This Master Sun obviously entered the palace as a monk from the Yin Palace to assist him, but he committed suicide brazenly at this time, saying that it is not weird and impossible.

Especially this person had finally controlled Miao Cairen.

While the spiritual examiner was doing the autopsy there, Li Xun was not idle, looking at the information about Master Sun handed over by his subordinates.

After reading it, pass it on to Yu Gan and the others.

The information is very simple. This Sun Shushi is from Jiangnan, an ordinary businessman. At the age of 16, he came into contact with spiritual practice and was very talented. After being selected through layers of selection, he came to Qingliang Mountain outside Tai'an City.

That is to say, the mountain where the Shangyin Palace is located continued to practice. Two years ago, his cultivation base reached the sixth rank, and he was transferred to the palace to work.

After reading it, Yu Gan only had one doubt. A sixth-rank magician is considered an extraordinary existence. How could he be hanged?

Let's put it this way, even if you hang yourself, the spiritual power in your body will spontaneously protect your neck, which cannot be stopped artificially.

"Your Majesty, Miao Cairen went to Jiangnan for a period of time half a year ago, and the fetus in her womb might have been conceived at that time." Gu Qingyuan said.

Li Xun narrowed his eyes slightly, did not respond, and waited for the results of the two spirit examiners.

Not long after, the two stopped checking, bowed to each other and said, "Your Majesty, Sun Shushi died from the shattering of the golden core. Only when the spiritual power dissipated can he hang himself to death.

There were no other traces in the body, it was Sun Shushi who broke the pill himself, and then committed suicide. "

This result is not surprising. In the Daqi Palace, it is still difficult for a sixth-grade magician to be murdered without being discovered by anyone.

"Understood, you all go down first." Li Xun nodded, and shunned all these spirit examiners and guards.

"What do you think?" Li Xun asked Xiang Yugan and the other three.

Gongsun Yan bowed first and said, "Your Majesty, at present, the cause of this Master Sun's death is inseparably related to Miao Cairen. Before Miao Cairen entered the palace, it was probably this Master Sun who helped to cover him.

Now that Miao Cairen is dead, he will bring disaster to Chi Yu sooner or later.

But there is one thing that Wei Chen can't figure out for the time being.That's what it's all about.

First of all, with the strength of His Majesty's protection, as an ordinary person, Miao Cairen's assassination is bound to be impossible.And because of this inevitable unsuccessful assassination, isn't it a little inappropriate to pay such a high price?

The reason why a sixth-grade artist is willing to die is not as simple as it seems on the surface. "

"Minister Gongsun is right." Li Xun nodded and said, "So, what I want you to do now is to find out who controlled Miao Cairen to assassinate me.

What is the connection with Sun Shushi, and who is the force behind it.And, how and where the Gu poison in the body was released.You need to give me the answers to these. "

"Promise." The three of Yu Gan clasped their fists and accepted the order.

"My palace is the most transparent place in the whole world, everyone in the world can know about the slightest disturbance." Li Xun said with a half-smile.

Yu Gan naturally understood the self-deprecating meaning in his words.

It was simply that there were too many sightlines in the palace, and there were so many people in the palace, one might not know which little servant was the ears and eyes of certain forces.

For example, Sun Shushi was able to commit suicide early, someone must have notified him.

But none of them mentioned to find out who notified them, because it didn't make much sense, or they couldn't find out at all.

Because there are countless small news like this in the palace every day, it is hard to guard against.

"Director Yu hasn't spoken since he entered the palace, right?" Li Xun suddenly turned his head and looked directly at Yu Gan.

Yu Gan bent over and bowed,

"Why, talking to me makes you uncomfortable?" Li Xun asked again.

"The lowly position is frightening," Yu Gan hurriedly explained, "it's because the lowly position is too clumsy, and I'm afraid that the wrong words will make His Majesty angry."

But Li Xun said calmly, "Don't forget, you are the main person in charge of these two cases, if you don't give me a satisfactory explanation, I will cut you off."

"No..." Yu Gan's eyelids twitched twice, and he reluctantly agreed.

"I still have something to do, you just continue to investigate the matter of Miao Cairen, and the three of you can move freely in the palace until the case of Miao Cairen is understood.

In the end, only the three of you need to know about this matter, and it is not allowed to spread to the outside ears. "Li Xun ordered.

"Your Majesty, this matter may involve the royal family, can you investigate carefully." Gongsun Yan suddenly stood up and asked.

"As I said, the case is the main thing, and the investigation should be done." Li Xun replied without doubt.

"No." The three clasped their fists in response, sending Li Xun away respectfully.

After Li Xun left completely, Yu Gan straightened his back, shook his head and sighed, "This job is really not done by someone, Mr. Gu, you should handle this Miao Cairen?

Minister Gongsun and I are going to do other things first? "

Gu Qingyuan turned his head to look at Yu Gan, "Since Your Majesty already knows that you know about this, there is no need to be jealous."

"Speaking of which." Yu Gan suddenly lowered his voice, "Your Majesty doesn't seem to be angry with Miao Cairen's behavior like this? I'm a little confused. Can Mr. Gu talk about it, don't let me turn around and offend His Majesty's taboo."

"Speak less and do more, so naturally you won't make any taboos. You still ask such questions in this palace?" Gu Qingyuan said seriously.

"Okay, Mr. Gu, don't ask any more." Yu Gan smiled coyly, and then asked, "Then where do we go to find out, there is no clue in the palace now.

The only clue, Sun Shushi, also committed suicide.Until Miao Cairen's father is found, there is really no way to find out. "

"Let's investigate the source of the Gu poison first." Gongsun Yan interjected, "Also, if I think it is necessary, send more people to Jiangnan.

This Sun Shushi is obviously a hidden pile, and he is from Jiangnan.And Miao Cairen has a high probability of becoming pregnant while traveling in the south of the Yangtze River.

It shows that this force either has a high probability of belonging to Jiangnan, or has a station in Jiangnan.No matter where it is, we have to find out.Only in this way can I explain to His Majesty. "

"Well, I will apply to the Secretary of the Temple when I go back, and send more people there." Gu Qingyuan agreed with Gongsun Yan's idea, and continued, "Before the information from Jiangnan comes back, let's go and investigate the poison.

There are people who play Gu in the palace, which will affect His Majesty's safety after all. "

"Where should I start the investigation? Where does Miao Cairen live?" Gongsun Yan made a suggestion and then asked herself, "I think His Majesty must have brought in maids or eunuchs who had contact with Miao Cairen.

We're going to check now, and we probably won't find anything. "

"Let the people from Qin Tianjian come over to help." Gu Qingyuan decided, "Let's do it separately, I'm in charge of the poison investigation in the palace.

The two of you will continue to go out of the palace and continue to investigate you, isn't it to seal up Cui's mansion.The battle will be bigger, and then the people from Qin Tianjian will be called to support.

Now His Majesty's mind is uncertain, there is no need for you to stay in the palace, I am an old man, I can hold on.Before the news about Miao Cairen comes back from Jiangnan, it is estimated that there will be no major results in finding out, and it is useless for you to stay here. "

"Okay, Mr. Gu, I will trouble you with the affairs in the palace." Yu Gan and Gongsun Yan clasped their fists together and said.

Having said that, it is mainly for the sake of Yu Gan and Gongsun Yan that Gu Qingyuan thinks about it. After all, Miao Cairen's affairs are still too sensitive and there are many taboos.

Just now there are so many examples of palace maids and eunuchs being killed.

After saying goodbye to Gu Qingyuan, Yu Gan and Gongsun Yan walked out of the palace. They kept quiet along the way, and did not resume communication until they left the palace.

Yu Gan first took the initiative to ask out the doubts in his heart, "Minister, is this upper Yin Palace very powerful? Will Master Sun's entry into the Upper Yin Palace prove that there is something wrong with the Upper Yin Palace?"
