In the tightest secret prison of the Criminal Department, Tang Jiao and Lu Changze saw Guisheng tied to a shelf.

Justice Xin Guo was sitting across from him. When he saw the two men appearing, his serious face showed a bit of gentleness.

"Grandfather."

The two sat down on the empty chair next to him and looked at the ghost world opposite.

Duke Xin Guo handed the paper on the table to Lu Changze: "This person is in the capital, but he has little assets, but his house is in ruins."

Tang Jiao leaned against Lu Changze and looked at the paper in his hand. She was a little amused when she saw the content: "Is he stupid? He bought so many houses and didn't repair them. People will notice the clues after a while."

"Looking at his appearance, he is indeed an idiot."

"I also think that whoever doesn't run away and hides in Prince Nanyun's Mansion in the middle of the night will prove that he and Prince Nanyun are in cahoots."

Lu Changze threw the paper back on the table, his eyes suddenly turned cold when he looked at the ghost world: "Whether you want to die or live, it all depends on you."

Gui Shi snorted coldly: "How could I be afraid of you low-class people?"

"Young man?" Duke Xinguo looked at him with eyes full of contempt and sneered: "So you are quite famous. Who is the most powerful person in the world?"

Guise roared angrily: "You'd better let me go, or I'll make your whole family suffer a terrible death."

How could Duke Xin be afraid of him: "Now that you are a prisoner, I would like to see how you make my whole family die."

Lu Changze leaned back in the chair, crossed his long legs, and his eyes were cold: "You must have been refining the corpse in the deep forest cemetery that day."

what?

Guise's pupils widened when he heard his words, and his facial expression turned ferocious. His eyes filled with hatred stared at Lu Changze: "It's you, it's you who ruined my years of hard work, you bastard."

Duke Xin Guo stroked his beard with a gloomy expression: "You'd better confess your accomplices to avoid death. Tell me, why are you hiding in Prince Nanyun's palace? Does it have anything to do with Prince Nanyun?"

"What King Nanyun?" Guise raised his head and laughed loudly: "I don't know him. I hid him there a long time ago. I never thought he would return to the capital now. However, if you want to get rid of King Nanyun, you can't You can bribe me. As long as you let me go, I can testify for you and pull him down from the position of King Nanyun. Hahahahaha..."

Tang Jiao stood up and came to Gui Shi, took out an Anso flower and handed it to him.

Guishi saw the flower with long stamens like a chrysanthemum, and his pupils were full of greed: "You, how did you have this dark soul flower? How did you get it?"

He almost shouted the last sentence at the top of his voice.

This is the legendary Flower of Desolation. With it, he will become the most powerful magician in the world.

How could she, a delicate woman, hold the Dark Soul Flower in her hand and not be hurt by it?

Tang Jiao put away the flowers and said with a hint of cunning in her charming voice: "You can tell your accomplices if you want to know."

The ghost world was silent. The dark soul flower was the ghost flower he dreamed of. He had only seen it in an ancient book. How could he not want it when he saw a real flower.

But when he thought about the consequences, he could never bear it. That woman Wen Junyu was ruthless and would never let him survive if she knew she was caught.

His thoughtful eyes fell on Duke Xin Guo and Lu Changze. Duke Xin Guo was an upright man. He would never let himself leave this prison cell even after he had killed so many people. The only solution now was to keep it for the time being. Himself, wait for an opportunity to escape.

Taking a deep breath, Guishi said: "I have no accomplices, but there is one person in your court who has been cooperating with me all year round. If you want to know who he is, you can, but you must save my life."

Lu Changze understood what he meant: "If you don't want to say it, I will definitely find a way."

Duke Xin Guo looked at Tang Jiao and said with a smile: "Sister Jiao, let's go home with Fu Shang first. Grandfather is here."

Tang Jiao heard that they were going to execute him, so she nodded and obediently came to Lu Changze's side.

Lu Changze and Duke Xin looked at each other, took her hand and left the prison.

When Tang Jiao walked out of the prison and passed by a jailer, she felt a strange feeling in her heart.

Turning to look at the tall jailer, I found a strange smell coming from him.

Lu Changze also noticed it. He looked at her and the couple walked back to the cell in tacit agreement.

When he entered, he saw Guise howling as he was being beaten with a whip. The jailer was holding a whip and wanted to beat Guise.

Tang Jiao raised her hand slightly, and a force knocked the jailer to the ground.

Duke Xin Guo was surprised: "Why are you back?"

Tang Jiao pointed at the jailer and said, "Grandpa, he has a problem."

what?

"Capture him."

As soon as he finished speaking, the jailer jumped up, took out a dagger and stabbed Guise in the heart.

Ghost World was tied tightly to the rack, trying to escape but unable to do so.

Lu Changze flashed behind the jailer and kicked him against the wall. Heizhu and others quickly stepped forward and knocked him unconscious.

Guise was so frightened that he almost lost his mind and said in a panic: "He's here, he's here, he's here to kill me and silence me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Guise's whole body twitched, black blood spit out from his mouth, and the next second his head dropped to his chest.

Lu Changze stepped forward and grabbed his hair, but saw that Guise's eyes were wide open and there was no breath left.

Duke Xin's face was serious: "It seems that the person behind him is afraid that he will spit out himself. But killing people from a distance is too strong."

Putting aside the ghost world, Lu Changze said: "There must be other secrets in him."

Otherwise, the other party would not be so eager.

"Do you suspect it's Wen Junyu?"

"It can't be her." Tang Jiao shook her head and said with certainty: "She is a system, and she doesn't have the skills to kill people from a distance. It seems that there is someone else behind the ghost world."

Stroking his beard, Xin Guogong said: "A person like Guise has been lurking in the capital for a long time without being known. He must have other companions. It's a pity."

Without asking anything, the person was killed and the clues were cut off from here.

Lu Changze felt that not all was lost: "At least we can be sure that Wen Junyu is related to him, and there is someone else behind the ghost world."

Tang Jiao felt sick when she thought that Wen Junyu, as a national master, had power in her hands, but was colluding with Gui Shi.

When Guise dies, the clues are interrupted and the case can only be closed hastily.

Duke Xin went to the palace to deliver an errand to His Majesty, while Lu Changze and Tang Jiao returned to the Duke's Mansion.

They had just arrived at the Zhenguogong Mansion and saw all the servants cleaning. It was New Year's Eve in a few days. After purchasing items for the New Year, they would start cleaning, and then prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner.

In the Mingzhong courtyard, the guards and maids were wiping the pillars and floors with water. When they saw the two masters, they were busy bowing respectfully.

When Tang Jiao saw the small hall filled with boxes and cages, she was surprised and asked, "Who sent these?"

A guard immediately stepped forward and replied respectfully: "Back to the Crown Prince, Madam, this is a New Year's gift sent by the Duke from the front to the Crown Prince and you. There are two copies, one for the family, and one designated for the Crown Prince and you."

"understood."

Lu Changze's father brings gifts every year, and he doesn't think there's anything strange about it.

Tang Jiao asked Zixiang to bring the account books and prepare them for storage.

There were silver, gold bars, and some treasures in the boxes. They were all valuable things. Two boxes were full of furs. The fur was silky and shiny, and it looked like the furs of top-quality animals.

There was also a small box dedicated to her mother as a New Year's gift. Tang Jiao didn't expect that her father-in-law was so thoughtful, and she felt very warm.
