Start Six Maids

Ju Qianyi's pretty face blushed slightly, and she nodded, "Yes."

"Okay." Chu Ci patted the bed and said, "Then let's review it."

When Chu Ci came out of Xiuyufang, it was already three hours later.

Seeing Chu Ci, Sister Yu hurriedly greeted, "Master Chu."

"There is an official who has been waiting for you for a long time."

Chuci saw Li Chongming who was waiting for him outside Xiuyufang.

"Guard Li? Are you looking for me?"

Chu Ci looked at Li Chongming with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Li Chongming looked at Chu Ci helplessly, cupped his hands and said, "Lord Chu, you are really in a good mood."

"Cough cough."

Chu Ci coughed twice and asked, "But the case has progressed?"

Li Chongming nodded and said, "Not bad."

"Master Di ordered me to go to Dali Temple with Master Chu, and Miss Gongsun has already arrived."

Dali Temple, Government Affairs Hall.

Chuci met Di Gongming and Gongsun Luluo.

Chu Ci cupped his hands towards the two of them, and said apologetically, "Sorry for keeping you two waiting for so long."

Di Gongming waved his hand, stroked his beard and said, "It's okay, Mr. Chu is busy with government affairs, I understand."

Gongsun Luluo sat up straight, and said with a straight face, "Miss Chu is a beautiful woman in her arms, and she is really busy."

"Cough cough!"

Chu Ci coughed twice, "Miss Gongsun, who did you listen to?"

"Tch!" Gongsun Luluo snorted softly, and said, "Master Chu is Fairy Qingyun's guest, who in Shengjing City doesn't know about this?"

Looking at Chu Ci, Gongsun Luluo murmured in a low voice with envy, "I'm so envious."

Chu Ci, "Huh?"

Gongsun Luluo turned her head slightly, and said in an unnatural tone, "It's nothing."

"cough!"

Di Gongming coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention, "Lord Chu, Miss Gongsun."

"The two of you are called here this time because the case has progressed."

Chu Ci hurriedly asked, "What progress?"

Di Gongming looked at Li Chongming and said, "Chongming, tell me about the investigation in the outer city first."

Li Chongming nodded, and said to Chu Ci and Gongsun Luluo, "I investigated and visited the people living around the small courtyard in the outer city."

"According to their narration, the owner of the small courtyard outside the passageway of the outer city is an old single man."

"The old man's name is Song Laosan. He has been widowed for many years and rarely communicates with others."

"Two days ago, the neighbors around did not see Song Laosan."

"But Song Laosan doesn't have a deep friendship with the neighbors around him, and the neighbors around him don't care about it."

"But yesterday, a middle-aged boy who was playing around in the village said that he saw a man in black robe coming out of Song Laosan's house, and walked out of the village without looking back."

Chu Ci nodded slightly when he heard the words, and murmured, "This man in black robe should be the murderer of Panyang Palace's murder."

"As for Song Laosan..."

"It should be a secret whistle."

Di Gongming stroked his beard and pondered for a while, then said, "Why did the murderer know about the secret room in Prince Panyang's mansion?"

"Combined with the exclamation of King Pan Yang before his death, it proves that King Pan Yang must know the murderer, and he is very familiar with it!"

After a moment of silence, Di Gongming continued, "There is a young servant named Laifu missing in Panyang Wang's mansion. The identity of Laifu may not be simple!"

"If the murderer really is Laifu, how did he know the secret passage in King Panyang's bedroom?"

"Even King Pan Yang's confidantes may not know such secret information as the secret channel!"

Chu Ci's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice, "Master Di is saying that there is someone behind Laifu?"

Di Gongming stroked his beard and said, "This possibility cannot be ruled out!"

After pondering for a moment, Di Gongming continued, "Leave this matter aside for the time being, and I will talk about another clue first."

Di Gongming took out a piece of white paper, on which was exactly the pattern engraved from the bedroom of Prince Panyang's mansion.

Putting the paper on the desk, Di Gongming said in a deep voice, "I found a clue about this pattern."

"It's a word!"

"It's not the writing of the empire, but the writing of the small country in the south."

Chapter 190

"Small country in the south?"

A strange look flashed in Chu Ci's eyes, and he asked, "What do you mean?"

Di Gongming stroked his beard and said, "I asked a scribe who is proficient in foreign languages, and he said it's the word 'offer'!"

Chu Ci raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and asked, "Among the countries in the Southern Region, are there any countries related to offering characters?"

Di Gongming said, "I have also checked the information on this point."

"Among the countries in the Southern Region, there are three countries that are related to offering characters."

Di Gongming held up three fingers and continued, "These are the ancient Xian Kingdom, and Xian Cang and Xian Zhu."

"The writing on the load-bearing pillar is the official writing of the Ancient Xian Kingdom."

"However, the ancient Xian Kingdom was wiped out by the Longyan Empire thousands of years ago, and its two princes took advantage of the chaos to flee, and later established the Xian Cang and Xian Zhu kingdoms."

"The Xiancang Kingdom launched a war against the empire 500 years ago, and was suppressed and completely wiped out by the empire afterward."

"The Xianzhu Kingdom has always been very stable, but after the sudden death of the last Xianzhu King five years ago, the Xianzhu Kingdom also completely fell apart."

Chu Ci pondered for a moment, and said, "The organ that opens the secret path is the ancient Xianguo script, and the owner of this secret path is King Panyang of the Dragon Yan Empire."

"What is the connection between King Panyang and the ancient Xianguo, or Xiancang and Xianzhu?"

Di Gongming frowned slightly, paced back and forth and began to meditate.

After a while, Di Gongming paused, "There is a missing link between King Panyang and Xianguo!"

Chu Ci pondered, "Is there anyone who is related to both King Pan Yang and Xian Guo?"

Di Gongming frowned and began to ponder, his face suddenly changed after a while.

Seeing this, Chu Ci asked aloud, "Lord Di, what did you think of?"

Di Gongming nodded slightly, and said in a solemn tone, "This matter involves members of the royal family, and it is a serious crime to make false comments on the royal family..."

Chu Ci chuckled lightly when he heard the words, "Don't hesitate to say, Master Di, everything is to find out the truth of the case!"

Di Gongming pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Speaking of which, this matter is related to the change of heaven five years ago!"

Five years ago, the king of the Xianzhu Kingdom and the first emperor of the Longyan Empire passed away one after another, and then the Xianzhu Kingdom collapsed and fell apart, and Her Majesty the Empress ascended the throne as emperor.

At the same time, the elder brother of the Empress was conferred the title of King Xian, and ordered him to be stationed in the Southern Region, deterring all countries in the Southern Region.

There was a strange look in Chu Ci's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Master Di, the middle link you mentioned is the King Xian?"

Di Gongming nodded slightly, stroked his beard and said, "According to the relationship, King Panyang is the uncle of King Xian. At the same time, King Xian is stationed in the Southern Region and suppresses the countries in the Southern Region. He is the only person who has connections with both King Panyang and Xianuo. "

Chu Ci pondered for a moment, then said, "How much does Master Di know about King Xian?"

Di Gongming stroked his beard and said, "Xian Wang is His Majesty's elder brother and also the eldest son of the late emperor."

"Five years ago, before the king of Xianzhu Kingdom died suddenly, he intended to launch a war against the empire."

"At that time, the emperor was already ill. When he was seriously ill, he ordered the eldest prince to command the army to go to the southern region to suppress the Xianzhu country."

"The war lasted less than a week, but the king of Xianzhu Kingdom suddenly died suddenly. This war also ended with the disintegration of Xianzhu Kingdom."

"The eldest prince originally planned to return to the court as a teacher, but suddenly heard that the late emperor died of illness. At the same time, before the late emperor died of illness, he wrote an imperial edict to pass the throne to His Majesty the Empress!"

"Since the eldest prince heard this letter, he did not accept the civil strife in the empire, so he accepted the letter of succession."

"At the same time, the eldest prince wrote a letter stating that he wants to garrison the southern region, suppress the countries in the southern region, and become a barrier for the southern region of the empire."

"His Majesty the Empress was touched by the eldest prince's behavior, so she decreed that the eldest prince be conferred the title of King Xian, and allowed him to lead troops to suppress the Southern Region."

After hearing what Di Gongming said, Chuci's face showed a sudden expression.

"So it is."

"Then King Xian didn't rebel directly, but he has a lot of heart."

Di Gongming must remain silent, it is related to the members of the royal family, so it is better not to judge rashly.

Chu Ci pondered for a moment, then looked at Di Gongming and said, "Master Di, can you give me a copy of the information about the ancient Xian Kingdom, Xian Cang, and Xian Zhu?"

Di Gongming nodded and said, "No problem, I will order the clerk to make a copy and send it to Master Chu."

Hearing the words, Chu Ci cupped his hands and said, "Then I will trouble Mrs. Di."

After bidding farewell to Di Gongming, Chu Ci and Gongsun Luluo left Dali Temple.

Gongsun Luluo returned to 'Xiao Er, let's make a pot of tea', while Chu Ci returned directly to the headquarters of the Department of Weird Affairs.

There are a lot of materials about the ancient Xian Kingdom and the Three Kingdoms of Xian Cang and Xian Zhu, including language and characters, historical inheritance, humanistic customs, etc. The scribes in Dali Temple copied it for three days before sending it to Chu Ci. go.

Weiqing is located in the headquarters, in Chuci's office.

Chu Ci flipped through the materials of tribute to the country sent from Dali Temple.

The Guxian Kingdom is also a country that has been passed down for a long time. Although it is not as good as the Longyan Empire, it is already a very powerful country among the countries in the southern regions.

The cultivation method of the Ancient Xian Kingdom is different from that of the Longyan Empire. They believe that the inherited characters have special power.

So a different kind of calligraphy practice system was derived from this, which is similar to the Taoist talisman technique, but its power is inferior to the talisman technique, but it is far superior to the Taoist talisman in terms of strangeness.

Chu Ci flipped through the historical materials about Gu Xianguo, and suddenly saw a very interesting thing.

In the ancient country, there is a secret technique that can transfer the soul of a dying person to another body!

This secret technique was strictly controlled by the royal family of Gu Xian, and there was once a king of Gu Xian who survived the second life!

Such a shocking secret technique naturally has extremely strict conditions. Not only will the person performing the technique be killed instantly, but there are also very large restrictions on transferring souls.

It is necessary to find a person with the same fate in order to transfer the soul there and live a second life.

Under such harsh conditions, in the thousand-year history of the ancient Xianguo, there were only a few kings who really achieved this.

This includes the last king of the ancient Xianguo.

Although the conditions for the implementation of the secret technique are harsh, and Gu Xianguo keeps it strictly confidential, this kind of secret technique is still known and coveted.

Thousands of years ago, the emperor of the Longyan Empire was very eager for this kind of secret technique, because he was already very old, but he didn't want to let go of the power in his hands.

If you want to borrow another 500 years from heaven, you must obtain this soul-changing secret technique!

So thousands of years ago, the emperor of the Longyan Empire brazenly launched a war against Gu Xianuo.

As a result of the war, Gu Xianguo was completely destroyed, and the Longyan Empire also suffered heavy losses. At the same time, they have not yet obtained the secret technique from Gu Xianguo.

Because the prince who mastered this secret technique escaped in the chaos, the Longyan Empire was unable to chase after him, so the two kingdoms of Xiancang and Xianzhu were born.

"call..."

Chuci closed the ancient offering materials and let out a long breath.

Unexpectedly, there is such a relationship between the Empire and the Ancient Xian Kingdom.

Chapter 191 Abuse!

Chu Ci put down the documents in his hand, leaned on the seat and closed his eyes to meditate.
