Nine thousand years old [rebirth]

Xue Shu was ordered by the emperor to track down the mastermind behind the demon fox case, but the progress was not smooth.

Emperor Longfeng is the emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. He was dissatisfied because of Jinyiwei and Dongchang's ineffective work, so he casually pointed out the task to Xue Shu, who had done a great job in saving the driver, and asked him to arrest the real culprit within ten days.

But on the one hand, he did not allow Xue Shu to be an official, and on the other hand, he did not give him any manpower he could deploy. Although Xue Shu was ordered by the emperor, to be honest, he was just a lowly servant.Not to mention the manpower of the East Factory and Jinyiwei, even the servants of the West Factory, although they flattered him in their mouths, when they really had to do something, they still avoided each other more cleanly.

Without manpower to drive, he could only investigate by himself.

Xue Shu went to Huangji Hall again.

After one night, the surroundings of Huangji Hall were covered with snow, almost no traces of last night could be seen.

Xue Shu walked around in front of the hall, then looked around, measuring the distance in his heart.

Last night, the red mist of the will-o'-the-wisp almost enveloped the entire square of the Huangji Hall, with a very wide range.He grew up in the market, and he has seen many similar tricks, but compared to the one in front of the Emperor's Palace last night, the jugglers' tricks can only be regarded as trivial.

It will take a lot of effort to create such a scene.And the scope is so large, it must be arranged in advance to ensure nothing goes wrong.

Although those Jinyiwei are useless, they will not just watch the thief Xiaoxiao come and go near the Emperor Palace.

Therefore, the person who made this arrangement must have an identity that can deceive others.

Mostly ghosts.

There are only a few people who can walk in the palace, and the other party takes the risk to do this, it must be of great benefit to him.

Xue Shu recalled everyone's performance last night, and after eliminating one by one, he quickly locked in the suspected candidates.

After making a lot of noise at night, Yin Chengyu got up late during the day.

When Zheng Duobao heard the movement coming in, he saw that he was still leaning on the bed with the quilt in his arms, his head full of black hair draped over his shoulders, making his face more and more like a crown jade, and adding a little more of the lazy expression that he rarely showed before .

"It snowed all night, and it's cold outside. I specially asked the small kitchen to prepare lamb tripe soup. Your Highness can drink some to warm up."

Yin Chengyu let out a lazy "hmm", and was a little sullen and lethargic.

——When he slept in the middle of the night, he always felt that the quilt was very cold, and he didn't fall asleep much afterwards.

In fact, he was not so afraid of the cold before, and this problem came after he went to the imperial mausoleum.

Confinement in the imperial mausoleum sounds as if Emperor Longfeng still has a bit of father-son affection for him and cannot bear to kill him.But actually staying there is worse than dying.

How can a living person live in a dead man's tomb?

The crown prince was deprived of his reputation, and the only one who followed him to the imperial mausoleum was Zheng Duobao.Not to mention him, even Zheng Duobao didn't suffer much.

But when they arrived at the imperial mausoleum, except for the three meals, they had to do everything else by themselves.

At that time, what he feared most was winter.

Whenever it snows, the imperial mausoleum is as cold as a hole in the ice.He is wearing a sinful body, so naturally there is no charcoal fire supply, and he didn't make any preparations for the first year, even if he was too cold to sleep, he could only grit his teeth and endure the heat.In order to wash his clothes, Zheng Duobao's pampered hands were so cold that they were covered with chilblains.

In the second year, when they gained experience, they saved firewood for the winter early. He and Zheng Duobao searched for it, split it and dried it.

Zheng Duobao didn't want him to do it at first, but he has fallen to that point, who is he still showing off with his air of gold and jade?

If you don't do it, you can only wait for death.

They survived the five years of confinement in this way, and his body was even more depleted during those years. Even after forming an alliance with Xue Shu and returning to the East Palace, he still couldn't forget the feeling of being in an ice cave and being cold to the bone.

So far, the problem of chills has fallen.

Every winter, the earth dragon in his house would always be burned early, and the charcoal fire was more abundant than others.At that time, Xue Shu insisted on resting in his room, but after staying for a few days, he got burned and suffered from epistaxis twice.

But even so, he refused to live in another house, and forced him not to burn such a hot earth dragon again.

That was also the first time he got angry with Xue Shu, and he was still a little apprehensive afterwards, worried that Xue Shu would tear up the agreement in a fit of anger.But unexpectedly, Xue Shu was not angry.On the contrary, since then, I have developed the habit of boxing before going to bed.Holding him when going to bed, my whole body is warm and cozy, which is a bit more comfortable than the scorching earth dragon.

So he also acquiesced in the behavior of the other party hugging him to sleep.

Thinking about it now, if there is any advantage of Xue Shu, I am afraid that the bed warmer is very good.

Yin Chengyu sighed faintly, and said to Zheng Duobao: "Is the earth dragon in the room not hot anymore, let people burn it up."

Zheng Duobao felt the temperature in the room, thinking that if it gets hotter, it might make people sweat.But looking at Yin Chengyu's snow-white complexion, he felt that his body was weakened by the serious illness before, and that His Highness was more afraid of the cold than others, so he hurriedly responded.I was thinking in my heart that I would order someone to make some medicinal meals someday to nourish His Highness's body.

Yin Chengyu lifted the quilt and got out of bed when the earth dragon was heated up again.

After Zheng Duobao waited on him to wash and change his clothes, he ordered someone to serve the lunch.

Yin Chengyu took a sip of the lamb tripe soup, narrowed his eyes in comfort, and then asked about the business: "Did you get caught?"

——Early before the New Year's Eve banquet started, he arranged for people to ambush around the Huangji Hall.The demon fox appeared last night, and the Huangji Hall was in chaos. The person who did the action thought that no one was paying attention, but in fact, his people had already been waiting in the dark for an opportunity to attack.

"Commander Zhao came back this morning to report that two people were caught last night, one of them committed suicide by taking poison, and the other was stopped, but his mouth was very hard and he refused to say anything." Zheng Duobao said.

"Zhao Lin is still too merciful." Yin Chengyu shook his head and said, "Since father entrusted Xue Shu to investigate this case, he asked him to lead the case."

As soon as Xue Shu returned to Xichang, he was sent to Ciqing Palace again.

Walking to the front of the hall, he carefully brushed off the snowflakes on his body, and then followed the little eunuch who led the way into the hall.

The red throne in the middle of the hall was empty, only Zheng Duobao was waiting for him in the hall, seeing him coming, he said: "Lord Xue comes with our house."

Xue Shu followed for a few steps, then looked back at the empty seats, and asked aloud, "Why don't you see Your Highness?"

"Why does His Highness have to come forward for such a trivial matter?" Zheng Duobao glanced at him, feeling that Master Xue's manners were too bad, and couldn't help but said: "Your Highness is a king, and we are ministers. How can I ask His Highness whereabouts at will? For disrespect!"

Xue Shu touched the handkerchief hidden in his bosom, and gave an absent-minded "hmm".

Zheng Duobao led him to the dungeon where the prisoners were temporarily held.

The suspect was tied to a pillar, his head was hanging down, his face could not be seen clearly, his shirt was ripped off, and there were still whip marks on his body, he should have been tortured.

"This is the man. Commander Zhao noticed this man was acting suspiciously yesterday, so he arrested him and questioned him. Unexpectedly, one of them committed suicide by taking poison. This man was stopped in time, but his mouth was very rigid, and he refused to say anything. .Now it will be handed over to Mr. Xue for interrogation. I hope Mr. Xue will find out the truth as soon as possible and catch the culprit."

What Zheng Duobao said was high-sounding, which is also the reason why he brought Xue Shu here aboveboard.

The guards of the Eastern Palace found suspicious people and handed them over to Xue Shu who was in charge of the case for interrogation.

Not being able to see Yin Chengyu, Xue Shu was a little bit dispirited, and didn't bother to waste time, so he took the man and left.

Zheng Duobao returned to the inner hall to report to Yin Chengyu.

"Someone took it away?" Yin Chengyu was practicing calligraphy in Hongren Hall.

"Yes." Zheng Duobao waved away the little eunuch who was serving him, and picked up an ink ingot to grind the ink: "He took him away without saying anything. Commander Zhao spent the whole night without prying his mouth. This Master Xue is really capable!" Can you ask?"

He was really skeptical.

"If he can't ask, no one will be able to."

Yin Chengyu snorted and frowned thinking of Xue Shu's cruel methods against the enemy.

In the previous life, Xue Shu's methods were certainly learned from the factory guards, but what's more, he carried a cruelty in his bones that no one else could match.

Later, he was in charge of the two factories and one guard, and changed all the tricks in Beizhen Fusizhao Prison. It is said that no one who entered, no matter how hard the bones were, could survive three days.

"Let's just watch, there will be results soon."

Xue Shu took people to the Xichang prison.

During the heyday of Xichang, there was also a large prison for interrogating suspects, in which torture methods were not less than imperial prisons.However, after the decline of Xichang, the prison of Xichang was also vacant, and all criminals were sent to prison.Of course, the credit goes to Dongchang or Jinyiwei.

However, this afternoon, the screams of the suspect came from the Xichang prison which had been vacant for a long time.

This familiar yet unfamiliar voice startled all the guards in the West Factory, and asked each other who was interrogating the prisoner.

After asking and asking, Xue Shu is naturally the only candidate.

After Xue Shu sent the man to the Xichang prison, he never showed up again. Not long after that, there were endless screams and curses from the prison.

Those who are still staying in the West Factory are all incompetent and courageous bastards. Hearing that miserable cry at this moment, their faces are a little ugly.

There was a burst of screaming, drinking and punching could not continue, and all the soldiers dispersed, but they were wondering when the screaming would stop.

As a result, the cry lasted all night.

In the early morning of the next day, the screams finally stopped, and Xue Shu, who was full of blood, came out of the Xichang prison.

Originally, a fan wanted to go up to say hello and compliment him, but was startled by the hostility in his eyes that hadn't dissipated, and subconsciously held his breath.It wasn't until he walked by that he dared to take a big breath.

——At this moment, Xue Shu looks even more terrifying than the execution officer who has been in charge of the prison for many years.

Not like a person, like a murder knife.

The author has something to say:

Your Highness: It’s just barely warming the bed.

Xue Shu:?Others are fine too.
