Mountain God's Wife

"Since Lord Shangshu has seen it, you should be able to guess it with your intelligence. I just used some small means of self-protection. The old prince has a high position and authority. Naturally, I, a small merchant, can avoid it if I can. ?”

There was nothing wrong with Zixi's words, but it made the Minister of the Ministry of Justice panic a little bit. His intuition told him that this person in front of him was not an ordinary merchant, and he was afraid of the power of the old prince?Not always.

Back then, when the group of capable people and strangers caused a great upheaval in the capital, the old prince had to avoid them by three points, not to mention that he later recruited several people to be honored guests.

"Since this is the case, it means that you do have a grudge with the old prince, and with your little tricks that you don't know, you will be even more suspected." The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice gritted his teeth and read the words "small tricks." exceptionally clear.

"Grudge? If you want to find someone who has a grudge against the old prince, you might as well dig the land in his backyard garden and an abandoned well in a side house. Maybe you will get a lot of new harvest."

Zixi poured a new cup of tea for Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, and the previous cup spilled a lot.

"I dug it up!" the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment growled, his clenched hands almost crushing the teacup, "I know that many people who died in vain were buried in his backyard, and I also know that there are many more who were ordered to be executed or killed by him." People who were thrown on mass graves indirectly because of his death!"

"I have worked hard to collect his criminal evidence. In the future, I will definitely bring him to justice and let him accept the trial he deserves. Even though... I may pay a heavy price, but I will not hesitate!"

The Secretary of the Criminal Ministry looked at Zixi and said, "Anyone who violates the law should receive the punishment he deserves."

"I understand what Lord Shang Shu said, but I am very sorry that I did not kill that old prince.

If I had killed him, I would not have given you the chance to come to my door today. "

Zixi raised her head and looked out the window, "Actually, I suggest that Master Shang Shu should not intervene in this case. When I first came to the capital of Chen State, it was even more smoky than I imagined, and the direction was even more demonic."

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice looked over from the direction of her finger, the sky outside was blue and blue, and he couldn't see the soaring demon energy that the other party said.

Of course, his mortal body couldn't see those things, but he knew that the direction of this person's finger was the direction of the old prince's mansion.

"That's why I didn't teach that old prince a lesson. He lives in that place, and he can't survive for a few days without my hands. Sooner or later, he will be torn to pieces by the demons and ghosts inside."

Zi Xi said again: "Actually, Lord Shang Shu didn't doubt me much, did he? Otherwise, I wouldn't be talking to you at home now, but in the hall, or even in prison."

Looking at Zi Xi's clear eyes that seemed to see through everything, Shang Shu was defeated.

"There are many Taoist priests in the old prince's mansion, how do you know that the old prince will definitely die?"

"It's just a bunch of mobs, if any of those Taoist priests really have the ability or sincerely want to help the old prince, why is the prince's mansion still like that, and no one even reminded the old prince to move him out of here?

I believe that if Lao Wang also knew the current situation of his palace, he would definitely not be willing to live there. "

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice faintly heard a soft snort from Zi Xi's mouth, and he, who was no longer a naive child, discovered the key point after a little thought, "You mean that there may be a high-ranking person who bribed the Taoist priests in the palace to indulge The death of the old prince, or even the murderer?"

In this way, many things that did not make sense before can be understood. As the capital of the Chen Kingdom, under the foot of the emperor, it cannot be more prosperous. Many Taoist priests who are not willing to devote themselves to cultivating immortals and asking for fame and fortune will come here , because the emperor here gave Taoist priests special treatment.

Among this group of Taoist priests, in addition to wild Taoist priests from various places, there are many people from Zhu Huashan, the source of Taoism, and there are many people with real skills. People, why didn't anyone remind him that there was a problem in his house?

Unless... the people around the old prince were all placed by others, and they deliberately didn't want the old prince to know the truth, people with this ability...

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice stood up abruptly, and he remembered the most unlikely person, shouldn't he?

The affairs of the clan that intervened are all handled by the old prince. It is not an exaggeration for the old prince to say that he is his right-hand man. Why does he want to cut off his own arm now?

But everything can't be said too absolutely. Today's His Majesty is even more gloomy and unpredictable than the late Emperor. Maybe it's because of his youth that made this His Majesty very defensive, sensitive and suspicious.

As long as he feels that someone might threaten his status, he must kill him quickly. Could it be that the old prince accidentally touched His Majesty's taboo?

Then why did His Majesty ask him to thoroughly investigate this matter?He also set a deadline for himself... Could it be that His Majesty can no longer tolerate himself?

"Sir Shangshu, if you find anything, you can go back and consider it slowly. Now you might as well tell me what is the purpose of your coming here? It shouldn't be just to question me, right?" Zixi signaled the Minister of Punishment to calm down. .

"That's right... I do have something to ask for. I see that you have the ability to change the memories of everyone who saw you before. I guess you should have real skills. I plan to wait until it is confirmed that you have nothing to do with the death of the old prince." , and make a request to you again."

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice looks a little cramped, probably because he is so rigid that he rarely bows his head to others, right?

"I would like to know, if you are asked to solve those things in the old prince's mansion, how sure are you?"

"Are those shadows in the palace? It's easy for me, but what price can you pay?"

Let Zixi take action, if she is near Linshan now, she doesn't mind moving her fingers.

But now that she is in the capital city, under the supervision of the Emperor of Heaven, there are various gods below who may be the eyes and ears of the Emperor of Heaven. Zi Xi has to take a huge risk if she does something, and she will not take it lightly unless it happens.

"I heard that when you first came to the capital, you were targeted by the old prince. It was the eldest princess who secretly solved the old prince's entanglement for you. I think the eldest princess has a very close relationship with you. I have a report about your majesty's plan to target the eldest princess." We plan to make an exchange, but I don’t know if it’s possible.”

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice made enough preparations before coming. This news really made Zi Xi frown slightly. The thing that the eldest princess was worried about before really happened. .

"Emperor... Well, I agree, you tell your news first." Zixi nodded slightly, fortunately she made some preparations for going out this time, otherwise she would have to hesitate a bit whether she should make a move.

"I can tell you now, but you have to ask the truth about the death of the prince from those evil spirits in the palace for me."

After a moment of hesitation, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice made a decision. Almost all the truly capable Taoist priests in the capital are under the emperor's command.

Now that he knows that the emperor may even be the real murderer, he has no other choice, so he hates things involving these gods and ghosts.

"Your Majesty suddenly called back His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess at this birthday banquet, for no other reason..."

Following the words of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Zixi's expression became more serious, and after the other party finished speaking, she sighed, "It's not easy for the eldest princess to have such a brother, please allow me to send this news to the eldest princess's mansion first." .”

"I'm afraid it won't work now." The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice said: "Her Royal Highness and the princess were recruited into the palace in the morning, and they should live in the former palace of His Majesty during the period before His Majesty's birthday, but I can help you. You pass the news to the palace."

"Then I will trouble Mr. Shangshu." Zi Xi cupped his hands and thanked him.

"Then you... If nothing happens, can you follow me to the Prince's Mansion as soon as possible?

If you need to prepare anything, you can tell the officer, and the officer will send someone to find it for you immediately. "

When the Minister of the Ministry of Justice watched those Taoist priests' practices, he always made some weird and messy things, such as mahogany swords and black dog blood, which were quite particular.

"You don't need to prepare, just go directly, but let me say hello to my family first."

"It's natural, I'll wait for you at the door." Although the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment was anxious, he also understood the normal feelings of these people.

Zi Xi got up and left, and as she sensed where she was staying on Ruan Yan's body, she quickly found her.

"Has the honored guest left?" Ruan Yan didn't know who Zixi was receiving, she just thought it was an immortal in the capital, and she, an ordinary mortal, consciously didn't join in the conversation between immortals.

"No, I have something to go out with him in a while, you stay at home and don't go out for the time being.

Come to accompany you..." Zixi caught the person who threw herself into her arms, and smiled softly.

"Did something happen?" Ruan Yan's heart tightened, and she hurriedly raised her head to look at Zi Xi.

"It's nothing, the land of the capital is not Linshan after all, I don't have the right to control it, and it's inevitable that there will be times when I can't take care of you, my face is so beautiful.

What if you meet a pervert like the old prince when you go out and want to snatch you into the house? "Zi Xi squeezed Ruan Yan's face.

"You are so! What are you talking about..." Ruan Yan blushed in embarrassment, "Speaking of beauty, you are the real fairy, so I have to worry about it!"

"Me? Why do I need to worry? If I really encounter someone who is plotting against the law, I can cut them into eight pieces with my sword. You should worry about those people." Zixi laughed.

"Why can't I learn martial arts well? If I were better, I would have the ability to protect myself."

Ruan Yan looked at her white and tender hands, and sighed deeply, she can do anything, except for practicing martial arts, just like A Fei encountering Buddhist scriptures.

"You don't need to be strong, as long as I live for a day, I will definitely protect you safe and sound."

Zixi kissed Ruan Yan's forehead, "I'm going out first, wait for me to come back at night."

"Okay, be careful." Ruan Yan led Zixi to the door all the way, watching her get into a strange carriage.

"Ugh……"

Ruan Yan naturally knows that Zixi will protect herself, but she hopes that she can also have the power to protect Zixi, instead of staying under Zixi's wings and letting Zixi block all wind and rain for herself. .

It would be great if there was some way to make myself stronger, or if Zixi came back and asked her what she could do?It would be even better if Zixi could teach herself...

Ruan Yan recalled the days when she first practiced martial arts on the mountain, she taught herself hand in hand, so close, the breaths of the two seemed to be entangled in one place, thinking about it now makes people feel ashamed, but... also makes people feel look forward to!

Ruan Yan blushed hot, and shook her head hastily, as if she wanted to get those messy thoughts out of her mind.
