Lord Jinyiwei

Jin Yiwei went to work, Beizhen Fusi was busy, Liang Si asked Guo Sheng out, and the two sat at the corner of a teahouse, the teahouse was secluded, it was difficult for others to notice them, but they could see the surrounding scenes clearly Chu.

Liang Si told Guo Sheng one by one about the recent investigations, then propped his chin and muttered with frowned eyebrows: "Li Baxian, Li Baxian...the eight immortals have crossed the sea and each showed their magical powers...does he really think he is a fairy? Can he play tricks on everyone?" to applaud?"

Guo Sheng took a sip of his tea and said, "It's too coincidental that Li Baxian changed his name..."

Guo Sheng paused for a moment, Liang Si looked up at him in the midst of his sudden suddenness, and found that although his tone was flat, his eyes were sharper than ever. A resounding slogan: Immortals go down to earth, and the Eight Tigers assist the Ming Dynasty. Liu Jin has always been looked down upon by others because of his identity, so he calls himself a fairy. They were sent by the heavens to assist Daming."

Liang Si was horrified: "...Liu Jin is unprecedented in being able to treat a deer like a horse in such a way. We will carry on the past and open up the future."

Guo Sheng smiled: "But everyone didn't buy his account. Later, Liu Jin realized that he was treating everyone as fools too much, so this slogan gradually stopped being implemented."

Back to the case, Liang Sidao: "You mean this matter is related to the Eight Tigers? Li Baxian is not alone. He has Li Qixian and Li Liuxian on top of him?"

Guo Sheng nodded: "And after thinking about it, I think we may be going in the wrong direction."

"Um……?"

"All of us focus on Li Baxian. It is true that he is a key person. Finding him is equivalent to solving half of the case, but we have ignored one person..."

"Who?"

"Flower mushroom."

Liang thought about it. Du Zheng's piece of paper mentioned this person. He was serving as a third-person witness at the time, but this person's name was just a code name. Anyone could be called by this name, so Liang Si and others agreed that the person who never It is easier for Li Baxian to find a breakthrough, but now Li Baxian doesn't know if he has gone out of the city to find this person.

Guo Sheng also said: "At first I thought it was a girl's name, but I thought about the daughters of many ministers in the court, and later found that these people are almost always out of the door, so it is impossible to have time to commit crimes, and a woman is doing things outside. It's extremely inconvenient. If the Eight Immortals were really an organization, it would be impossible to entrust such an important matter to a woman. I think this code name must have a special meaning.

Later, a friend of my father came from Qinyang, and while I was entertaining him, he told me about the specialties of his hometown, one of which was flower mushrooms. I was just skeptical at first, but later you told me that Li Baxian’s ancestral home is Qinyang, I think all the coincidences together must not be coincidences. "

Liang Si rested his thumbs on his temples, and organized his thoughts. This flower mushroom is from Qinyang, he may be an official in the court, eight|ninth rank, and has a relationship with the Eight Tigers.

If you rule out a little in the court, you should be able to find this person.

Thinking of this, Liang Si relaxed a lot.

At this time, outside the window, a group of yamen servants passed by, and Liang Si saw the leader, Ji Tong, who staggered and walked in a hurry.

Stretching out his head, Liang Si said, "Master Ji, aren't you sleeping?"

Ji Tong turned his head, saw Liang Si, ignored his teasing, and said: "The old woman we went to died yesterday."

Startled, Liang Si immediately put away her smile and picked up the Xiuchun knife.

When everyone came to the scene of the crime, Wu Zuo went to the autopsy first, and said, "He died of suffocation."

Everyone inspected the house, but there was no sign of a fight. Those who found it said that they found the old woman's body in the water tank.At that time, she was lying on the water tank with her whole body, and her head was buried in the water. The neighbor said that the old woman had inconvenient legs and feet. She accidentally fell when she was scooping water in the water tank, and then her upper body was buried in the water tank. She could not struggle and suffocated and die.

Ji Tong asked Wu Zuo to transport the body to Yizhuang, checked the house carefully, found nothing, and everyone left.

Back in Shuntian Mansion, Ji Tong reported Du Zheng's autopsy to Liang Si. Liang Si bowed his head and wrote the name of a poison on the paper: Huanxi Pill.

Wu Zuo explained: "There is no joy, no joy, great sorrow and great joy. People who take this medicine are as ecstatic as if inhaling crow scent at first, and the whole person is very comfortable, which will make people relax unconsciously. It was too late, and the pain of gut-breaking and kidney-digging followed, and the pain was too painful to live.

At that time, your whole body can clearly feel the severe pain, but you can’t react, you can’t say a word, even the heart stops beating and breathing stops, but the nerves in your brain are still active, and you can still feel clearly. You will feel the pain until you really die for a few hours. During these few hours, you will feel the despair that you can’t respond every day and the earth is not working. You can hear others talking, but others think you are dead. "

Liang Si was surprised: "Who would use this thing to commit suicide?"

Wu Zuo shook his head: "Informed people would never use it to commit suicide, and because the taste of Huanxi Wan was too similar to Wuxiang at the beginning, many people used to fake Wuxiang to harm others, and it was banned by the emperor at that time. His raw material, the seeds of the Grass of Sadness and Joy, have been eradicated long ago, and the capital is nowhere to be found. If Xiaguan's father hadn't seen this kind of poison|drug before, and told the villain, the villain would not be able to judge whether the medicine is Huanxiwan, which has lost its trace."

Liang Si lowered his eyebrows.

Ji Tong waved his hand and told Wu Zuo and the yamen servants to leave, leaving only Ji Tong, Liang Si and Guo Sheng in the room.

Ji Tongdao: "There is only one place in the capital that has this raw material."

Guo Sheng nodded.

Liang Si didn't understand: "Where?"

Guo Sheng said: "Only the Imperial Hospital still has some raw materials."

The three of them didn't move. Guo Sheng sat down and took a sip of tea: "We can't startle the snake anymore. Since that person can get the medicine from the Tai Hospital, he can naturally leave no traces. If we go to look for it rashly, it will only make people cry." The opponent is on guard."

Liang Si remained silent, Guo Sheng called him, and then he came to his senses, Guo Sheng said: "Do you know any Jin Yiwei who is on duty in the palace?"

Liang thought about it and nodded.

"Let them pay attention to the Tai Hospital in the past few days. If there are any people who interact too frequently, Concubine Guo can also help them."

Liang Si nodded.

Guo Sheng noticed something strange and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liang Si hesitated for a while, and said: "I always thought that Xiuping was killed by Du Zheng...I have never been able to figure out the three doubts, and Du Zheng kept complaining before he died, so it is impossible for him to commit suicide in such a cruel way... ...someone wanted to kill Xiuping and put the blame on Du Zheng. On the surface, the murderer had a good relationship with Du Zheng. When Du Zheng was desperate, he appeared and gave Du Zheng a pill. It may be said that this pill can Help him out, Du Zheng believed him, took the pill, and died of severe pain..."

Guo Sheng lowered his eyebrows and remained silent.

Liang Si turned his head and asked Ji Tong: "Master Ji, who has been in and out of the mansion that day?"

Ji Tong shook his head directly: "Apart from you two, the emperor came that day, who else..."

At the end, his voice suddenly sank, Liang Si and Guo Sheng's eyes sharpened, that person was someone close to the emperor...

Liang Si asked: "Who did the emperor bring with him at that time?"

Ji Tongdao: "A few thousand households from Nanzhen Fusi, and...Gao Feng."

One of the Eight Tigers, Gao Feng, the eunuch who supervises the ceremonies!

Guo Sheng's face was cold: "This is just speculation, we have no evidence."

-

The night was dark and the wind was high, several Jinyi guards rustled across the palace city without a trace.

The streets and alleys of the capital are sleeping under the moonlight, quiet and peaceful, only a few places are still lit, as if waiting for someone who has not returned.

At this time, a solitary lamp appeared at the entrance of an alley. Under the dim moonlight, the two seemed to be arguing about something, and woke up. A sharp big tabby cat who was sleeping against the wall whimpered, jumped onto the wall, and Find a quiet place.

"She doesn't know anything! Those people can't find anything out of her mouth!"

"She's seen me."

"You know her eyesight is bad, she never saw your face clearly!"

"in case."

"you……"

"Who?!!"

Under the shadow of the lamp, a shadow seemed to flash in a trance, followed by one person shouting, both of them looked around in fear, only the slight movement of branches and leaves, no one was seen.

At this time, the big tabby cat that had just left appeared from the alley with catwalks, let out a "meow", and returned to the place just now. It seemed that it had not found its territory and had to return to the same place. It looked at the two people, There was a bright green light in his eyes, unblinking.

"I'm going back first, you hurry out of the city." One person said, carrying a lantern and quickly disappeared into the alley.

The other person paused, turned around and was about to leave the alley, when the cat at the corner of the alley suddenly made a sharp sound, "cracked", jumped up the wall and disappeared, the person's eyes were dark, and was tightly covered by a burlap bag He paused, feeling dizzy at the back of his head.

A gust of cold water came rushing over him, and he shivered all over, but it was not cold to the end. When he heard a sentence, he was cold from head to toe, and there were only two words in his heart, "it's over".

"Li Hou, can you plead guilty?"

Li Baxian raised his head, cold water was dripping on his hair, he squinted his eyes, looked at the upright body in front of him, and the ferocious flying fish soaring in the air on the man's clothes, he forced himself to be calm: "Why did your lord arrest me?"

The man turned his back, leaving only a back view, and said in a low voice, "Waterboarding."

Li Baxian trembled and said: "You, how dare you... use lynching... you and you... I'm going to sue you... um..."

Li Baxian's mouth was blocked, and his body leaned back in a posture with his head down and his feet high. Before he could take a breath, a piece of cold thin paper covered his face, and then added layer by layer, As the number of papers increases, the feeling of suffocation fills the whole brain. You want to take a big breath but you only inhale a small amount of air. You will feel that you will suffocate to death at any time.

However, this kind of punishment will not make you really suffocate to death, but you will be in the feeling of being on the verge of death. In one breath, you have come back from death countless times, and died from life again, seemingly gentle and leaving no trace, But it is the easiest to destroy the mind.

After one punishment, Jin Yiwei peeled off the paper on Li Baxian's face. He gasped in embarrassment and said viciously: "I...I won't say anything, just kill me..."

"You think we are going to torture to extract a confession?" Liang Siqing smiled coldly.

The smile was contemptuous: "Do you know how your grandmother died?"

Liang Siyou said: "Being pushed into the water and suffocated to death, she also understood the pain and struggle you experienced before she died, and the person who did the violence is the person you want to protect now."

Li Baxian trembled all over, and looked behind Liang Si with frozen eyes. At some point behind him, a corpse was lifted out. The corpse's complexion was swollen and pale, and its eyes were wide open.

"Who is the flower mushroom?!" Liang Si yelled.
