Stunning beauty

The sun rises eastward.

Li Yuan, the inner courtyard.

Li Ziye looked at the mask sent by Xuan Ming, and even though his heart was as solid as a rock, he couldn't help but feel a touch of sadness at this moment.

In this world, there are too few like-minded people. As the chief remonstrator of the great merchants, Zhang Qizheng has always dared to give advice and is not afraid of power. He is one of the few people in the great merchants who dares to tell the truth. Unexpectedly, he will leave. So unclear.

In the room at the back, Taotao looked at the lonely back of the young master, feeling indescribably uncomfortable in her heart.

Mr. Zhang always spoke for the young master in the court, and secretly helped the young master promote the promotion of the fourth prince. It can be said that he worked hard for the future of Dashang. He was one of the few people in the court that the young master could trust. .

There were very few ministers left in the entire Shang Dynasty who served the country and the people without being stupid and loyal.

The thousand-year-old dynasty has been in a state of decay. Master Zhang's death will undoubtedly make this dying behemoth become even more senile.

"Little Four."

In the courtyard, Li Ziye stared at the mask in his hand for a long time. He clenched his right hand, crushed the mask into pieces with a bang, and said, "Xiaosi, let's go. Come with me to see Mr. Zhang for the last time."

"Ah."

On the side, Xiao Si responded and pushed the machine chair towards the outside of the courtyard.

Not long after, the two got into the carriage and rushed to Zhang Qizheng's mansion together.

On the street, the carriage rumbled by, much faster than before. On the carriage, Li Ziye sat there quietly. Although his face was calm, his eyes were extremely cold.

died of illness?

He does not deny that there are some difficult and complicated diseases in the world that can cause people to die suddenly without any warning. However, such diseases are rare and have a small probability.

Moreover, he personally checked Zhang Qizheng's body and found that there was nothing wrong with it. If he died of illness so suddenly, he would be a fool to say that there was nothing wrong with him.

At the same time, after receiving the news of Zhang Qizheng's death, most of the courtiers in the city were shocked and began to rush to Zhang's mansion one after another.

Two-quarters of an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of Zhang's mansion. Li Ziye and Xiaosi got off the carriage and walked straight towards the mansion ahead.

In the mansion, everything was plain and an atmosphere of sadness filled the air. The main hall and the mourning hall were being decorated, and Li Ziye was the first to come to pay homage to his old friend.

"Is it Professor Li?"

In the mansion, a shady old woman looked at the white-haired young man on the machine chair in front of her, suppressing the sadness in her heart, and asked with some uncertainty.

"Li Ziye, I have met Mrs. Zhang."

Li Ziye put his right hand on his chest and said respectfully.

"Teacher Li, I said before his death that if something happens to him, he must let Teacher Li see him for the last time." The old woman said softly.

"Thank you, Mrs. Zhang."

Li Ziye thanked him, looked at the coffin in the mourning hall in front, and turned the machine chair to enter it.

In the mourning hall, several servants were arranging the coffin and other things needed by the mourning hall. In front of the mourning platform, Zhang Qizheng was lying quietly in the coffin, with a calm expression, as if he was asleep.

Li Ziye stepped forward and looked at the old man in the coffin in front of him, a look of sadness flashed through his eyes.

"Mrs. Zhang."

After a moment, Li Ziye came to his senses and said, "Can I check Master Zhang's body?"

"can."

Behind him, the old woman nodded and said, "Mr. Li, he can check whatever he wants."

"Thank you."

Li Ziye thanked him again, his eyes glowed with silver, and a powerful spiritual power spread into Zhang Qizheng's body and began to check his condition.

After ten breaths, the silver light in Li Ziye's eyes disappeared and returned to the same state as before.

"Mrs. Zhang, I heard that Mr. Zhang died of illness in his study. Can I go and take a look at Mr. Zhang's study?" Li Ziye looked away and asked.

"it is good."

The old woman nodded and said, "Mr. Li, follow me."

After saying that, the old woman didn't say anything more and led the way towards the backyard.

"King Yunyi has arrived!"

At this moment, a loud voice came from outside Zhang's mansion, and then King Yunyi, one of the great Shang Wu kings and in charge of the world's prisons, stepped into the mansion.

Li Ziye narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the person coming.

It came so fast.

"King Yunyi."

Li Ziye looked at the prison chief in front of him and saluted politely.

"Prince Gan Yang is here too." King Yunyi nodded in greeting and said calmly.

"Come and take a last look at Mr. Zhang." Li Ziye responded calmly.

"So is this king."

King Yunyi said something, glanced at the mourning hall in front of him, and continued, "However, Mr. Zhang died of illness too suddenly, and I always felt that there was something fishy. Therefore, I want to go to the study where Mr. Zhang died of illness to take a look. , please also ask Mrs. Zhang to agree."

The old woman looked surprised after hearing the exact same request from King Yunyi and Professor Li.

"Jing Mu, Master Xu is here!"

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, the announcement sounded again outside the mansion. Soon, Xu Hanlin walked into the mansion with a senior official from the Jingmu Mansion.

Li Ziye saw Xu Hanlin coming, and subconsciously looked at King Yunyi beside him.

"It is indeed me who called Master Xu here."

An imperceptible smile flashed across King Yunyi's face, and he said, "If there is any problem with Master Zhang's death, Master Xu, as a Jingmu, has the responsibility to investigate it carefully."

"Mrs. Zhang."

Xu Hanlin looked at the old woman in front of him, bowed politely, and said, "It's my duty, sorry for bothering me."

The old woman was silent, then nodded and said, "Come with me."

As soon as she finished speaking, the old woman turned around and led the way to the backyard.

Not long after, everyone came to Zhang Qizheng's study in the backyard.

"Senior Ganyang."

In front of the study, King Yunyi looked at the legitimate son of the Li family beside him and reminded, "The place where the crime occurred is not suitable for the prince to enter, so he should wait outside for now."

"Master Zhang died of illness, not being murdered. Is it too arbitrary for King Yunyi to assert that this is the place where the crime occurred without any evidence?"

Li Ziye responded indifferently, ignored it, turned the machine chair and entered the study.

Behind him, King Yunyi followed him with cold eyes.

Everyone entered the study. Xu Hanlin and the assistant from the Jingmu Mansion looked around carefully. Soon, they noticed the incense burner in the study.

Xu Hanlin opened the incense burner, looked at the unburned spices inside, smelled it, handed it to the man next to him, and asked, "Do you know them?"

Wu Zuo took the incense burner and smelled it, his face changed slightly, and he replied, "It's the smell of heart-breaking grass. This is a unique herb in Mobei. It can be used as medicine to treat heartache when used in small amounts. However, excessive dosage can cause heartache." People die.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of everyone present changed.

At this moment, outside the Zhang Mansion, a beautiful figure in a blue dress arrived. She looked at the stark mansion in front of her and stopped.

When she first came to the capital city of Dashang, she encountered something like this. It seemed that those people in Dashang really thought she was easy to bully in Mobei.

Fortunately she is here, otherwise it would not be easy for Queen Bai Di and the others to leave this capital.
