There is a fake demigod in the East Palace

Based on Ye Zhaoling's status as a Taoist priest, at the beginning of his marriage with Rong Zheng, the deacon of the East Palace thoughtfully prepared various Taoist supplies in the palace, such as the four seals of cinnabar orders and arrows, "Letting the Secret", "Xiu Dao Debate", "The True Biography of the Great Dao" and so on. Classics, so that Jingnan Hou will practice diligently and improve his cultivation after marriage.

Because Ye Zhaoling doesn't look like a serious Taoist priest, he wanders around in this soft world of mortals every day, he is neither diligent nor hardworking, so these things are pressed into the bottom of the box as soon as they enter the palace, until they fall into the ashes. Never seen the light of day.

But in the last few days, these little bits and pieces have come in handy again.

Ye Zhaoling was wearing a plain robe with a round neck and wide sleeves, sitting cross-legged on the futon, holding a copy of "Shui Shi Chat" in his hand.There was nothing on the low table beside him except a glass of water.

All the electronic equipment on his body was put away, and the floor-to-ceiling windows in front of him were sealed with a protective net made of special materials.Through the dense grid, you can barely see the scenery in the yard.

The sycamore tree outside the window has turned yellow, and the boundless fallen trees are falling with the wind. If it weren't for the electronic shackles on his feet at this moment, and a chain fixed to the wall with a single end on his wrist, he would look a little Divided into the affection of idle clouds and wild cranes.

Leaving aside the electronic shackles for the time being, the method of using iron chains to torture people is really a bit barbaric. Ye Zhaoling thought that he had performed a space transfer in front of Rong Zheng. It is no wonder that the prince couldn't think about going to this extreme for a while.

However, he felt that Rong Zheng was simply worrying too much. Given his current physical condition, he was unable to perform any special functions, let alone escape from a heavily guarded room.

Ye Zhaoling has been in this room for a week. Since he woke up from a coma, he has been imprisoned in his dormitory. He has never stepped out of the room, nor has he seen Rong Zheng again.

But Rong Zheng only restricted his freedom, and didn't treat his daily expenses harshly.In terms of the treatment of a prisoner, the conditions in this cell are quite good.

The thin copy of "Shuishi Chat" was finished quickly, Ye Zhaoling put it back on the shelf, and picked out another copy of "Ping An Jing" to read.

It's just that the scripture book in his hand hadn't turned a few pages when there was a series of knocks on the door.

Hearing the regular knock on the door, Ye Zhaoling knew who was coming, the door opened quickly, and several people poured in from outside, the leader was indeed Zuo Zhonghou.

Zuo Zhonghou is Yan Tian's deputy. Before that, Yan Tian briefly assisted Ye Zhaoling in handling official affairs when he was on a business trip with Rong Zheng.Perhaps because of this relationship, Ye Zhaoling was mainly responsible for the interrogation after he woke up.

"Master Guoshi, how are you today?" Zuo Zhonghou and the recorder sat down on the futon opposite Ye Zhaoling one by one. It wasn't the unarmed Ye Zhaoling who was right, but a vicious tiger that ate people.

Ye Zhaoling closed the scriptures and said with a faint smile, "Thanks to you, everything is fine."

The recorder spread out the file and turned on the recording equipment. After everything was ready, Zuo Zhonghou pointed out today's theme: "Today let's talk about Empress Gao."

Facing the interrogation of the East Palace, Ye Zhaoling has always been very cooperative, because on the first day he woke up, when Zuo Zhonghou asked "what is the soul", Ye Zhaoling knew that Rong Zheng had already found out about him. pretty close.

But neither the "Brahma Fire" nor the "Spirit of God" is something that the East Palace can find out. Ye Zhaoling asked many times how they got this information, but Zuo Zhonghou avoided answering.

Ye Zhaoling guessed that the problem was with the Queen.

A monitoring room was temporarily set up outside the dormitory, Yan Tian sat in front of the screen and watched the ongoing interrogation in the room.The interrogation of Zhong Yu has basically been completed. The reason why an extra interrogation was held today is because the investigation of Empress Gao's case has made some new progress.

Judging from the evidence currently held by the East Palace, it is almost certain that the deaths of Emperor Mingde and Mrs. Wen were caused by Zhong Yu, but there has been no breakthrough in the matter of Empress Gao.

Recently, Rong Zheng ordered to restart the investigation of Empress Gao's disappearance. Just yesterday, the investigators found an old yacht's floor plan and navigation route map in the side hall of Yuqing Palace where Zhong Yu lived.

The yacht on the structure diagram is the same model as the yacht driven by Empress Gao, and the sea area marked on the navigation route map is also the sea area where Empress Gao died, which makes people have to link him with Empress Gao's disappearance.

During the interrogation, Ye Zhaoling always had a warm smile on his face.Yan Tian looked at the person on the monitor, but still couldn't connect him with the cases recorded in the file.

Yan Tian knew which group's interests Zhong Yu represented, and whose actions he did were ordered by, but in all the evidence he had so far, the queen was perfectly invisible, playing the role of a victim under the power of the state teacher.

The reason why the Empress chose to have a showdown with Rong Zheng at this time, and she defaulted to handing Zhong Yu over to Donggong, presumably she had already made preparations to use Rong Zheng's hand to push the national teacher out to be the scapegoat, to completely pick herself out .

So right now, Donggong is placed in a dilemma.

While Yan Tian was distracted, Zuo Zhonghou returned from the interrogation.Yan Tian looked up at him, Zuo Zhonghou shook his head helplessly.

Zhong Yu was very cooperative from the beginning to the end. It can be said that he confessed to the crimes he committed and had no desire to survive.This attitude makes it difficult to tell for a while whether it is a good attitude to admit guilt, or not to take one's crime seriously.

Only when it comes to key issues such as Emperor Mingde and Empress Gao, he is always silent.For this reason, Zuo Zhonghou tried his best, and in the end, not only did he not pry a word out of his mouth, but he even got himself into it.

But no matter what Zhong Yu himself said, in the face of all kinds of ironclad evidence, the facts could not be disputed by him.

Over the years, Zhong Yu has been involved in too many important cases at home and abroad, and there is a thick stack of case files alone.Yan Tian knocked on the door of Rong Zheng's office with the latest investigation report.

Rong Zheng had already moved out of his study, and set up another place in the East Palace for his office.Rong Zheng has been too busy to stay at home recently, and the case of Zhong Yu has been entrusted to Yan Tian for trial.

It was rare for Rong Zheng to stay in the palace today, and Yan Tian seized the time to report his work results to him. When he knocked on the door and entered, Rong Zheng was having a video conference with the computer.

Rong Zheng glanced at what Yan Tian was holding in his hand, and knew his purpose, and exited the meeting interface.

Yan Tian came to Rong Zheng, put the dossier on the table, and said, "Your Highness, Zhong Yu's investigation report is out."

This stack of files was as thick as a dictionary, and it recorded the investigation results and various key evidences of Zhong Yu's case.If one word can be used to describe what Zhong Yu has done in these years, it would probably be innumerable.Zhong Yu was involved in several major cases that shocked the government and the public in China.

Based on the criminal evidence in this file alone, it is not enough for Zhong Yu to die ten times.

Rong Zheng took the time to type a line on the keyboard, and asked seemingly very casually: "What has he been doing recently?"

Yan Tian bullheadedly replied: "His body has almost recovered, but the wound on his back caused by the explosion has not fully healed, and needs to be cleaned every day."

Only then did Rong Zheng cast a distracted glance at Yan Tian: "Did I ask you this?"

Yan Tian stopped the car quickly, and said honestly: "I spend most of my time reading, or just sitting for a whole day."

"Did he say anything?" Rong Zheng asked again.

"He is very cooperative with our work, almost answering every question." Yan Tian carefully recalled Ye Zhaoling's recent performance, and said, "Other than that, there is nothing more to say."

Rong Zheng nodded, did not touch the files on the table, and returned to his previous work.

"Your Highness, I need to remind you of one thing." Yan Tian was just trying to test Rong Zheng's attitude, but he didn't find anything.He pushed the case file in front of Rong Zheng, and said to him with a serious face: "The investigation has been carried out so far, and the facts of Zhong Yu's crime have basically become clear. Yaoqing Palace has kept it secret, presumably waiting for us to give a disposition result." .”

If the Eastern Palace did not give a regulation for a long time, the empress would soon have to do it for her.

"I see, let's put things down." Rong Zheng stared at the computer screen intently, without any emotion on his face: "There is no need to keep anyone here, you can get off work first."

Long after Yan Tian left, Rong Zheng's petrified body finally moved.

Things in the world cannot be ignored by escaping. Whether you want to face it or not, it is there.

Rong Zheng opened the dossier in front of him and carefully read it from beginning to end. He already knew exactly what Zhong Yu Fuzheng had done in the past 30 years.But rereading the past at this moment, every single word shocked him.

After the autumn equinox, the days get shorter and the nights get longer, and the sky outside the window begins to darken early.Rong Zheng didn't turn on the light, and read the entire dossier by relying on the faint light of the computer screen.

When the night fell completely, he picked up the file, opened the door and walked out.

The author says:

Today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow is a large chapter of nearly 9000 words, because the list plan is divided into three small chapters.If you are in a hurry, you can stock up.

Lists are the main source of traffic for small authors, so there will be corresponding weekly updates for different lists. Pei’s weekly word count is 1W, occasionally 1W5, and I generally keep it at 1W5 to 2W.

This article will end at the end of July and early August. If there is a need to split a large chapter, I will announce it in Zuohua one day in advance. I hope everyone can understand.
