On the second day, the county magistrate immediately went to the brothel where he searched, and early in the morning, he asked the yamen servants to search separately.

Shangguan Rudai kept yawning in the inner courtyard of the government office, "By the way, how long are you going to stay here?"

"It won't be long." Mu Jin looked at the circle Shangguan Yue drew on the map yesterday, and was very concerned.

"Hey, I thought I could play with you." Shangguan Ru yawned again.

Lin Tianxi walked out of the room after wiping the medicinal wine in the room. She couldn't help but cast a glance at Shangguan Yue who was flipping through the roster, and then glanced at Shangguan Ru again.

Last night, Shangguan Yue's heroic appearance was deeply imprinted in her mind. For some reason, she would always compare Shangguan Yue and Shangguan Ru intentionally or unconsciously.

In fact, the two are not similar in appearance, but the thin lips that smile are very similar, both of them are confident and seductive.

"Are you alright?" Shangguan regained his energy when he saw Lin Tianxi going out.

"It's okay, Fourth Young Master, don't worry about it."

Lin Tianxi shook his head, looked into his eyes with some embarrassment, walked behind Mu Jin, looked at his painting for a while and meditated, "Isn't this our Lin family's ancestral house!"

All three looked at Lin Tianxi.

She pointed to a high ground, "It's right here."

"The ancestral house?" Mu Jin put away the map.

"En!" Lin Tianxi nodded, "I also came here once when I was a child. Since our Lin family changed business, we seldom come back here."

"Oh? Such a coincidence." Shangguan Yue closed the roster, "Please take us to have a look."

"Okay!" Lin Tianxi was stunned, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, always feeling that something bad would happen in the future.

The ancestral home of the Lin family is located in a forest. The Lin family used to set up a sect here, and many martial arts people came here admiringly.

To prevent accidental injury, there is a high wall around the ancestral house, and people who live nearby know that this place is not to be broken into.

"When you go in later, don't step on the white stone on the ground." When Lin Tianxi opened the door, he didn't forget to ask.

The ground in the Lin family compound is paved with colorful cobblestones, just like the roads of the Lin Mansion in the imperial city.

With every step Mu Jin took, he avoided Baishi as much as possible.

It's just that it has been abandoned for a long time, but there is no dust.

"It smells like blood. Shangguan Yue frowned, "A Sen and A Zhi, you two guard the door." "

"Yes!"

Lin Tianxi was taken aback, "How is it possible?"

Shangguan Ru pulled Lin Tianxi, "The two of us should stay behind obediently."

There is nothing wrong with the surrounding scenery, there is only one pond, because of the age, it has become a black pond.

Opening the door of the lobby, the scene in front of me is horrifying. There is no furniture inside, but there are bloodstains on the pillars and the ground, especially on the pillars, there are many remaining holes. The distance from the holes should be some kind of The instrument of torture for immobilizing people.

It's a little cold in the room!

Mu Jin just wanted to step in, but Shangguan Yue pulled his wrist, "Be careful where you step."

Mu Jin looked down, but because of the dim light, she didn't notice a silver thread under her feet. When she looked up, she saw a switch knife hidden on the beam, which made her break out in a cold sweat.

Shangguan Yue took out a few taels of silver and threw it around the room, only to hear a "stretch", a few sharp arrows were shot out and nailed to the wall.

"I still won't go in." Mu Jin swallowed, and retreated in his heart, "You should go!"

"No." Shangguan Yue smirked, and gently hooked Mu Jin, "You and I can share joys and sorrows, life and death together."

"Hey!" Before Mu Jin could react in time, his body was dragged into the room, "Can you... slow down?"

"it is good!"

Mu Jin checked the arrows to see if they were made by the Ministry of Industry, but through the faint reflection of the light, she saw a few nails stuck in the corner.

Mu Jin pulled out one and followed the opposite direction to find the Thousand Machine Box under the darkness. The shape of the box was very similar to that made by the deceased in the Prince's Mansion. The second prince bought a large number of Thousand Machine Boxes, "It shouldn't be It will be the second prince, how can anyone be so stupid."

Mu Jin looked around at the bloodstains again, some were puddles, some were traces of dragging, and some were cleaned, "It seems that these people got the news and evacuated."

"Looking at the haste they left, Huaishui County is conducting a strict investigation. The corpses should not be taken away." Shangguan Yue put away the Thousand Machine Box in another place, and walked out the door, followed closely by Mu Jin.

Lin Tianxi's face was pale, Mu Jin patted her on the shoulder, "Don't worry."

"kindness!"

"A Sen A Zhi." Shangguan Yue looked around.

"The subordinate is here!" The two entered the door.

"Go down to the pool and have a look."

"Yes!"

The water in the pool was very dirty, and the two jumped into it without hesitation. The rising water spray made the smell waft. After a while, the two hugged female corpses.

The corpse had been soaked in water for several days. Enduring the stench, Mu Jin knelt down to check. The veins of the limbs and the heart were cut open, "This... feels like the woman whose veins were cut in Gudao City. Could it be the same person? for?"

Shangguan Yue shook his head uncertainly.

Shangguan covered his nose, "These people may be the missing thirteen people."

There happened to be thirteen female corpses, and Mu Jin felt sorry for them. They were all women in the Mood for Love. "No wonder the county magistrate said that when the nearby residents heard the female ghosts crying, they might be the ones crying!"

Calling every day should not be called the ground is not working, it is indeed desperate, "This is..."

Mu Jin noticed that there was a leaf in the opening of the female corpse's heart. She opened it with bare hands and found a seedling inside. The blood of the corpse was drained, but there was blood left in the chest cavity.

Lin Tianxi couldn't help but vomited, she admired Mu Jin so much, he was so expressionless and calm for autopsy.

"what is this?"

Everyone raised their heads to look, their eyebrows furrowed in puzzlement.

Shangguan Yue: "It looks like a flower."

"It does." Shangguan Ru shook his head puzzled, and then looked at Lin Tianxi, "Miss Lin, do you know why the villain would choose your ancestral house? What's more, there is an agency outside. It seems that they have not been touched, and they obviously know about it."

"I..." Lin Tianxi couldn't argue when he heard the words.

Shangguan Ru sighed, "I'm not saying this to doubt you, but my father won't believe that your Lin family is innocent."

Lin Tianxi bowed his head, not knowing what to do.

At this time, the county magistrate came with officers and soldiers, but as soon as he stepped into the door, Mu Jin shouted: "Don't step on the white stone."

But several officers and soldiers had already stepped on the white stone, and before they had time to react, the stone lamp on the path spun around, facing the officers and soldiers who stepped on the white stone, opened the stone opening, and shot a shower of arrows, the officers and soldiers in the front row were immediately pierced with holes.

The county magistrate collapsed to the ground in fright, "Ah!"

After a burst of wailing, the officers and soldiers withdrew from the door.

Shangguan Yue frowned, "This is the Qianji family's graphite array, why does the Lin family have it?"

Lin Tianxi: "I heard from my father that in the early years, some big families would ask the Qianji family to help arrange the organs, and my ancestors naturally paid a lot of money to find the Qianji family to arrange the graphite array."

It seems that we have to go to Qianji's house first.

The officers and soldiers bypassed Baishi, and the county magistrate stood far away, looking at the thirteen corpses in front of him, and trembling from the arrow rain just now, "My lord, let's report this matter to the court!"

"Wait." Lin Tianxi thumped in his heart, "I haven't found out the matter yet, isn't it too hasty to report it now?"

"This matter is very involved, it must be reported, let the Holy Majesty decide for himself!" Shangguan Yue handed the Thousand Machine Box to Lin Tianxi, "You go back and present this thing, if this matter involves the second prince, the Holy Majesty will definitely send the Privy Council to investigate thoroughly. "

Lin Tianxi took it, and she also understood what Shangguan Yue meant. She wanted to go back first to buy some time, and also asked Lin Tianyou to see if he knew anything, "Thank you!"

Shangguan Ru handed the county magistrate a bag of money, "Bury these corpses temporarily and contact their families. The corpses cannot be taken away, and the money will be used as compensation."

The county magistrate took it and bowed deeply, "On behalf of the deceased, I thank you sir."

"No need." Shangguan Ru raised his hand, "Sister, what should we do next?"

"You go back with Lin Tianxi." Shangguan Yue looked at his expression.

"Huh?" Shangguan was taken aback, "Why?"

"I still have something to do next, and I will go with Jin'er, and you can help the Lin family delay as much as possible after you go back." Shangguan Yue didn't explain much, obviously not wanting him to know, "A Sen A Zhi will protect you well. "

"I still want to play with you." Shangguan Ru sighed, his eyes full of disappointment, "Since the two of you have something to do, there must be danger, A Sen and A Zhi will follow you, otherwise I don't feel at ease."

"No, my fourth brother knows best."

Shangguan Ru smiled helplessly, spread his hands and said: "You still love stinky farts as before, I know your kung fu, but two fists are no match for four hands, you can't protect your brother-in-law while fighting the enemy, right?"

Shangguan Yue was speechless, indeed.

The county magistrate cupped his hands and said, "How about this, the lower officials will send more people to send Miss Lin and Your Excellency to each other."

"Alright." Shangguan Yue let go, and saw that Shangguan Ruo's concerned eyes didn't seem to be fake, so she didn't make further inquiries.

"Then let's set off immediately."

……

In the Buddhist Hall of the Central Palace, the queen ate fast and recited Buddha's name according to Shangguan Ling's request. She knelt in front of a small Buddha statue, closed her eyes and recited Buddhist scriptures.

At this time, Lu Wanyi stepped into the threshold with the vegetarian food, and put the vegetarian food on the table one by one, "Empress, it's time to eat."

The queen opened her eyes, "What are you doing here?"

"Of course I came to visit my empress." Lu Wanyi approached the empress and knelt beside her, "Concubine Zhen...oh, no...it should be Zhen Jieyu, is your empress going to take advantage of the victory to pursue her?"

"What's the rush and what to do, I know exactly what to do." The queen stood up, "It's you, don't come here if you have nothing to do."

"Your Majesty, do you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge?"

The queen glanced coldly, "Thinking too much."

"That's good." Lu Wanyi gave a blessing, "The concubine will write her resignation first."

The queen didn't even look straight at her. Lu Wanyi sneered and slowly faded away. She walked with frowning eyes, and the maids and eunuchs all shrank away when they saw this.

"Hey, who messed with Lu Wanyi?"

When Lu Wanyi turned her head, her expression softened when she saw Eunuch De, "So it's Eunuch De, it's okay, it's my big girl who wants to leave the palace documents."

Eunuch De smiled, "Then give it, but let her finish the last thing."

Where is the document for leaving the palace? Wanyi can say that she can get it. She has to get the nod of the sage. Eunuch De said so. The eldest girl will not live long. If she wants to leave the palace, the corpse can leave easily. "What thing?"

Eunuch De walked up to Lu Wanyi and whispered, Lu Wanyi was surprised when she heard the words, "The big girl is not so stupid, how could she agree?"

"It doesn't matter, lure her with money, if money and power can't satisfy her, tell her that if she succeeds, she will also have a share of the longevity medicine."

"Okay, I see." Lu Wanyi rolled her eyes and asked again: "However, when will Eunuch De's promise to me be fulfilled?"

Eunuch De squinted his eyes and smiled, "Last time you almost dragged the son-in-law into the water, how dare you ask for the pill? Let's talk about it after this task is completed!"

Lu Wanyi said with a naive look: "Alas—but it's fine if we achieve our goal. Now the crown prince and the second prince have turned against each other."

"Even so, this matter is still full of mistakes and omissions. If I hadn't played around with it, you think the Holy Majesty would not have thought of someone deliberately making trouble." Eunuch De approached Lin Tianxi, passed by, and left a sentence: "Of course the medicine will be given to you, but not now .”
