one step closer to the end

"Of course it's her, who else but her..."

Concubine Bai Shu wiped her tears and said: "The empress killed Jin Bao's mouth and asked people to bury his body in the cold palace, but she ran to the imperial garden again. Although the concubine Zhou did not admit it, the crown prince was deposed. It's the sixth prince, the others are nothing!"

Zhao Guanren asked again: "You really don't know who the female corpse is?"

"I really don't know! Why am I still lying to you now..."

Concubine Bai Shu shook her head and said: "There are no young women in the harem, otherwise you will not be able to escape the Queen's eyes and ears, but Concubine Zhou will not bring out a female corpse for no reason, Jin Bao's corpse is for me to bite out the Queen, I am afraid that the female corpse also hides Prince Duan's body disaster!"

"But Concubine Zhou's scheming doesn't seem to be that deep, that girl is like a big fool..."

Zhao Guanren stood up suspiciously, and Concubine Bai Shu raised her head and said, "Someone is planning for them. The queen is not a smart person, but they are surrounded by clever ghosts. They are the three overlords of the harem. If they don't have any skills, they will be beaten to the ground long ago." !"

"Well! It makes sense..."

Zhao Guanren crossed his waist and said with a smile: "Now I know that this king is saving you. If someone else finds out, the whole family will be chopped off for you. Come on! Kowtow to this king quickly, and call your master!"

"I knock, I knock! Thank you, master..."

Concubine Bai Shu burst into tears with excitement, kowtowed three times in front of him, and obediently shouted: "My lord! My lord, my concubine Zhao Bai kowtowed to my lord!"

"Haha~ Be obedient! Come sign and draw a pledge, lest you turn against me in the future..."

Zhao Guanren took out the booklet and wrote down the confession, and asked the two women to sign and press their fingerprints on it, and then walked out of the room satisfied.

Bian Xianglan and the girls stood in the courtyard anxiously and frightened, there were still many people watching outside, the ladies had seen each other for a long time, and they became princesses as soon as they were good.

"My lord!"

A female guard ran in suddenly, and said anxiously: "Master Xuanyang found the body of the female corpse, please go over and have a look, all our staff and field guards have gone!"

"I'll go! The old liar really has some skills..."

Chapter 0495

"I said earlier that I am not a liar, I am a celestial master who really knows how to cast down demons and eliminate demons..."

Celestial Master Xuanyang raised his eyebrows with his arms crossed, and all the people from Jingdu Weichang and Gongwei Division came, led by Commander Duan and Tan Qingning, but they were not anywhere else, they were still in the Imperial Garden, but they were caught several times. All over the imperial pond.

"Where did it come from? Hasn't this pond been searched..."

Zhao Guanren pushed the people away and walked to the pond. A broken corpse was lying on the ground. It also had no head or arms. The fish and shrimps had almost eaten up its flesh and skin. There was also no clothes. Most people couldn't tell the difference. Male or female.

"There's a culvert in the pond..."

Tan Qingning said helplessly: "The dark ditch leads to the bathing pool where the emperor takes a bath. Celestial Master Xuanyang insisted that the corpse was underneath, and sent someone down to find the dark ditch. He pulled out a linen bag from it, but there was still no head, but he could distinguish it. It turned out to be a patchwork of yin and yang corpses!"

"Little prince! My celestial master came to talk to you..."

Xuanyang Celestial Master showed off: "This is an extremely vicious ancient sorcery, in order to reverse the yin and yang, and reverse the luck in the palace, so the wizard used two corpses that were neither yin nor yang, and buried them in the imperial garden. The two places of extreme yin and extreme yang will definitely give birth to evil spirits if they are not eliminated for a long time!"

"Needless to say so much!"

Zhao Guanren waved his hand and said, "I just asked you where your head and arms are, and your feet are gone?"

"Uh~"

Celestial Master Xuanyang hesitated and said: "The head should be placed in the deadliest acupuncture point, otherwise the evil technique will not be formed without the head, but Pindao only knows a little about the evil art, and it is not right to calculate a few acupuncture points, but I dare It is determined that the head cannot get out of the middle palace!"

"Two! Let me say a few words..."

Commander Duan scratched his chin and said: "Judging from the stubble of the bones, it is definitely done by experienced veterans who cut up the corpse neatly with a sharp knife. The weak women in the harem don't have such skills, let alone stuff the corpse into the pond. , It should be checked from the inner guard!"

"Commander Duan! You are saying that there is something wrong with my subordinates..."

Jin Wuming strode over suddenly, Commander Duan hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Commander! This officer is just a reasonable inference, and has no intention of targeting anyone. Otherwise, Commander, please think about it. Except for the inner guards, who in the harem Someone who has the ability to dismember a corpse so neatly?"

"I can find a hundred of them for you at will..."

Jin Wuming folded his arms and said: "My Dashun established the country with martial arts, Commander Duan has been away from the palace for a long time, I'm afraid I don't know that the maidservants in each palace have produced many good hands who can protect the lord, if you can find good hands, you can find them." The real culprit came out, are you a county prince for nothing?"

"The next official made a lie, please forgive me..."

Commander Duan took a half step back with an ugly expression. Even though his subordinates felt unwilling, they did not dare to confront Jin Wuming face to face.

"My lords!"

Xuanyang Tianshi said: "Actually, poor people can try to summon souls. This sorcery is to reverse yin and yang, and to breed evil spirits. The wizard must only destroy his body but not his soul. Maybe he will call out the wronged soul to find out. Who can know who the real culprit is!"

"spiritualism?"

Jin Wuming was surprised and said: "Then hurry up and recruit, anyway, all the guys you eat have brought, why don't you just stand around and wait for the reward?"

"Of course not! The blue sky and the bright sun can't be recruited, and the innocent souls are afraid of the scorching sun..."

Xuanyang Tianshi said: "The longer these innocent souls are nourished by evil magic, the stronger they will become after they appear. Mingye Zishi is the time when the yang energy of the whole moon is weakest. I will use the broken corpse to hook them, maybe they will die." If you can pick it out, you can look for it carefully today!"

"Go! I'll take you to see the emperor..."

Jin Wuming turned around and walked towards Shang's study room. After Zhao Guanren explained to Tan Qingning a few words, he immediately chased after him and asked, "Master! Is this sorcery a unique technique of Onmyoji?"

"Onmyoji originally originated from my Dashun Meizu..."

Xuanyang Tianshi said: "Meizu and Xuanqi appeared together. They are experts in playing with ghosts, so they are called Meizu. But in the end they played themselves to death, but a branch genre appeared in Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which is today's Onmyoji!"

"Haha~ Meizu! I guess Xiaomi killed them..."

Zhao Guanren let out a silly laugh, and asked, "Then the only people who know this kind of sorcery are the onmyojis of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?"

"Onmyoji has become a school of its own, and other sorcerers are rare..."

Xuanyang Tianshi said: "As the saying goes, many unrighteous actions will lead to self-death. Onmyojis generally do not live to be 40 years old, and there are not many of them. Besides, only the old ones are powerful, and the young ones are worthless. They can survive until now. It is completely supported by the royal family of Thai thieves!"

"Master Xuanyang!"

Zhao Guanren nodded and said, "You are well-informed and a master with real skills. Why did you risk the crime of beheading to cheat? How much benefit has the queen given you?"

"Sigh~ Pindao owes the crown prince a kindness, otherwise how dare he deceive the holy majesty, and it will not be guaranteed at the end of the festival..."

Master Xuanyang sighed and shook his head, and came to the imperial study after a while. Emperor Shunyao was sitting behind the desk reviewing the memorial. After Jin Wuming came forward to report, he raised his head and asked: "Yunxuan! What do you think? how?"

"I think you can give it a try..."

Zhao Guanren stepped forward and said: "Master Xuanyang really has real skills, but he can't cheat for the sake of repaying his kindness, and he is an expert in this aspect, so it's okay to let him try!"

"it is good!"

Emperor Shun Yao leaned back on the dragon chair and said: "Xuanyang! Go down and prepare yourself. If you can eradicate the evil spirits tonight, I will not only let the past go, but also reward you heavily, no life! Take Xuanyang down, Yun Xuan, come forward!"

"Father! My son is really smashed to pieces for you this time..."

Zhao Guanren walked to the desk with a wry smile, and said, "Now all the princes want my life, and the princes and ministers also avoid me. Everyone thinks that I am a lunatic who snatches the emperor's woman. From now on, I will not only be a loner, but also don't care about me." I dare not go out with hundreds of people!"

"Ah~"

Emperor Shun Yao patted his hand and sighed: "Prince! I know you have worked hard and made great achievements, and I have wronged you, but is my harem really so corrupt?"

"It's rotten to the root, it's rotten..."

Zhao Guanren leaned against the table and said: "It's not a big deal for a concubine to hang out with the eunuch, anyway, it's a donkey lying on the grave - a fake horse ghost! But the root cause is that the empress drugged the concubines, and whoever gets her favor will do it. Then seize the evidence of their fooling around and use it for yourself!"

"The temptress! Messing up my palace, the crime should be punished..."

Emperor Shun Yao trembled with anger, clenched his fists and asked, "Whose bastard is the child of Concubine Bai Shu, and is there any other bastard?"

"This is Concubine Bai Shu's confession, she and the maid have both drawn a pledge..."

Zhao Guanren took out a piece of paper and put it on the table, and said: "The crown prince's seed, the four little princes are yet to be inspected, the queen manipulated this matter, and led Concubine Bai Shu into the pit step by step, just to blackmail Bai Shangshu. Seeing it with my own eyes, I would never have imagined it if I was killed!"

"Jade grinder into the body? This..."

Emperor Shun Yao was also dumbfounded looking at the confession, and his woman subverted his imagination.

"Your Majesty! As the saying goes, man is not as good as God..."

Zhao Guanren said: "Concubine Bai Shu's maidservant also got pregnant by accident. I checked the roster and found something wrong, but someone dug up Jin Bao's body and buried it in the imperial garden on purpose. It should be that someone found the Queen's head, and with ten It is related to the treason case many years ago!"

"how do I say this?"

Emperor Shun Yao hurriedly put down his confession.

"The sorcery in the two places is all from the hands of Onmyoji, and their mission is to harm Dashun..."

Zhao Guanren said in a low voice: "At present, it can be concluded that the witchcraft has nothing to do with the queen, she will not dig a hole to jump in, so the person who buried the corpse has two purposes, one is to abolish the queen mother and child, and the other is to re-establish the prince. Afterwards, let Yin Yang kill the soul to assassinate you!"

"Mongrel!"

Cold sweat dripped from Emperor Shun Yao's forehead, and he said in a deep voice: "If it wasn't for my sudden whim, I would show you around my imperial garden, I would die like my father, and die for no reason. What do you think this beast is? Who, the ninth or the sixth?"

"At present, all the evidence points to Lao Liu, but I always feel that things are not so simple..."

Zhao Guanren scratched his chin and said: "The unknown female corpse is still a mystery, but this corpse will not appear for no reason. If the female corpse is finally found on Prince Duan's head, then it must be the sixth mother and son. After all, Prince Duan is clean now. You have no reason to punish him!"

"I understand what you mean..."

Emperor Shun Yao nodded and said: "The corpse of the unknown woman must be a capital crime, and whoever is found in the end, the other must be the real murderer, but I think it is more like Lao Jiu's handwriting, Lao Liu does not have such a deep city!"

"emperor!"

Zhao Guanren asked: "You still have a few sons that I haven't seen. If the three princes are abolished now, who will you choose to be the prince?"

"That's only..."

"Bang~"

Emperor Shunyao suddenly slapped the table, stared and said: "King Qin! I actually forgot about that kid. That kid is also a troublemaker. He caused trouble the year before and sent me to guard the border. His biological mother is Concubine Qin. His city and scheming are even higher than Lao Jiu!"

"Your Majesty! Don't get excited, we're just expanding the scope of our search..."

Zhao Guanren said: "I know that Concubine Qin has basically no ability to do bad things in the harem. Now it depends on who this unknown female corpse is and how big a case it will be involved in. But I have always wondered how this harem can have so many people out of thin air. Someone come out?"

"Damn old hag, actually made the harem into a mess..."

Emperor Shun Yao said harshly: "You go and interrogate the queen to see how many bastards there are. You take Bai Ling to the Leng Palace directly, and you must not be polite to her. You will be able to pry something out of her mouth. By the way! How do you plan to deal with Concubine Bai Shu?"

"Anyway, you can't silence me, otherwise a bunch of ministers will force you to execute me..."

Zhao Guanren said: "But you have to show the confession to Bai Shangshu, otherwise the old guy will definitely fight me to the end, but the little prince is also your grandson, you can seal me a piece of land, and I will let her live on her own in the fief." Destroy it!"

"Yunxuan!"

Emperor Shunyao mourned: "It's hard for you! The emperor can't give you a reward this time, we father and son have to do a show, otherwise the emperor can't explain it to the outside, it's really shameful!"

"It's okay! You can send your son to go to the country of Ji..."

Zhao Guanren said with a smile: "Anyway, don't send me to fight Thai thieves, it's a life-threatening job. Although the trip to Jiguo is also very dangerous, a group of people are waiting to kill me, but I want to go to Bashan Spirit Pagoda to pay homage. By the way, go to fight a trade war with them, and this life will not be in vain!"

"Ah~"

Emperor Shun Yao said depressedly: "Why do you always want to run out? Are you still worried that I will kill you? In your eyes, I have no faith in what I say?"

"Your Majesty! The world is as big as a palace, and our Dashun is just a study room..."

Zhao Guanren smiled and said: "There are many, many wonderful things outside. I want to see more while I am young. I don't want to stick to this area. Besides, if I stay any longer, you really can't explain it. The emperor may be the whole world." The most involuntary person!"

"It's still clear to you that the worst thing to be an emperor in the world is..."

Emperor Shun Yao said dejectedly: "I also understand that you have driven yourself to a dead end, just wanting me to let you go, your heart is higher than the sky, Dashun cannot keep you!"

"Your Majesty! I have done everything I should and should not do, just to fulfill a promise..."

Zhao Guanren took two steps back and said: "I don't want to run away, but try my best to kill the poison. The expert who gave me the dark eye once said that human beings will have a catastrophe. Years, the culprit is corpse poison!"

"Apocalyptic year?"

Emperor Shunyao sat up straight suddenly, frowned and said: "This is the expert's guess. My reign titles all come from the "Supreme Freedom Heart Sutra". The next reign titles should be Chengtian and Qile, but Jiguo The next dynasty should be Yongji, and the next dynasty will be Tianqi!"

"I'm going! The root of the disaster is actually in Ji Country..."

Chapter 0496 The Other Side of the Little Princess

The next morning...

There was another explosive news in the palace. The Minister of the Ministry of War was jumping and scolding his mother. Zhao Guanren was appointed as the representative of the mission. You have to lead your troops to conquer Thailand.

"Tsk tsk~ Your majesty is trying to force him to his death, how can Ji Guo be easy to provoke..."

The officials of the Department of Salt Transportation drank tea and shook their heads. A colleague also laughed and said, "With a knife on Sezi's head, he dares to snatch the emperor's women. If he doesn't force him to death, Bai Shangshu will fall too." blood mold, the emperor only gave a symbolic appeasement, and the granddaughter was snatched away by the surname Zhao!"

"Song Chizhu still squeezes forward after this, how bold and ignorant..."

All the officials laughed and gloated, just as Yan Yunsi walked into the yamen with his hands behind his back in confusion, and several people rushed up and asked, "My lord! Why did the official department ask you to go? Song Chizhu won't have been arrested demoted?"

"What's the derogation? I've been promoted..."
