Datang traitor

After Changsun Chong read the book, he was stunned, and looked at Qin Yuan in doubt and embarrassment.Seeing Qin Yuan stretching out his hand and insisting on giving the book to himself, Chang Sun Chong hesitantly took the book out of politeness.

"Look." Qin Yuan said.

Chang Sun Chong looked down at the cover of the book, and his throat moved, "Uncle Qin Shi, are you sure this book is related to the investigation?"

"En." Qin Yuan agreed.

Chang Sun Chong opened the book and frowned after seeing the contents inside.He once again looked at Qin Yuan in doubt, and continued to turn to the next page with a hard heart, only to find that the content was still there.The eldest grandson hurriedly closed the book.

"Qin Shishu, what kind of case can be related to this kind of book?" Chang Sun Chong couldn't figure it out.

"Huh, this book is still ordinary?" Qin Yuan smiled and hooked Chang Sun Chong's shoulder, and asked him in a low voice how much he had secretly read before.

Chang Sun Chong blushed in embarrassment, saluted Qin Yuan quickly, and left in a hurry.

Qin Yuan hurriedly said goodbye to Changsun Chong, then entered the mansion with a smile.

Fang Xi came forward and told Qin Yuan the progress of the repairs in the backyard, "Thanks to the help of people from Changsun's Mansion, it will be faster, and it will be completed in about three days."

Qin Yuan praised it, and after taking a bath, he lay on the couch, flipping through the album and pondering.After an unknown amount of time, Qin Yuan fell asleep unknowingly, and was suddenly awakened by crying again.

Qin Yuan hurriedly put on his clothes, opened the door and saw Fang Xi and Cai Yang.The three of them went to the backyard again with the lantern, and heard crying and crying from a distance, coming from east and west directions respectively, and when they got close to the lake, the sound disappeared.

Qin Yuan took a lantern to take a picture around the lake, and found that there were traces of crawling on the shore, facing the direction of the lake.

"The crying just now was really scary, as if he didn't have enough energy." Cai Yang shrank his neck and sighed in a low voice. His eyes rolled around and his nerves were tense. Something hit him.

Fang Xi was also terrified, and asked Qin Yuan for an idea: "Why don't I invite some Taoist priests with strong spells tomorrow to exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts?"

"No, they can't solve it."

Qin Yuan found a gazebo nearby.

Fang Xi hurriedly cleaned the stone bench of the gazebo with his sleeve, and asked Qin Yuan to sit down.

After Qin Yuan sat down, he ordered both of them to be silent.

The three of them were silent for a while in the gazebo.

Ah, ah, ah--

The cry came again, on the east side of the pond.

Fang Xi and Cai Yang stared at Qin Yuan with wide eyes at the same time, waiting for their husband's order.

Qin Yuan shook his head slightly, motioning them to keep quiet.

After waiting a moment longer, a similar call sounded from the west side of the pond, but the sound was slightly smaller.

The cry was intermittent, and it sounded a bit like a baby crying.

Qin Yuan waited for a while, bent down to find a stone from the ground, and hit it in the water.

After a snap, the screams on both sides died down.

Fang Xi and Cai Yang glanced at each other.

Qin Yuan walked around the lake with a lantern, stopping occasionally to shine the lantern on the water.

"Come back tomorrow morning, go back to sleep." Qin Yuan said.

Fang Xi: "In the past two days, the noise of the ghosts has made people panic in the house. Many people dare not sleep, because they are afraid that they will be eaten by ghosts when they are not paying attention at night."

"Yes, I see that after they get up in the morning, they are all touching their arms and legs to see if they are missing a piece." Cai Yang sighed.

"Tell everyone it's okay, this thing is afraid of the sound, how could it dare to eat people." Qin Yuan yawned again, he didn't sleep well last night, he must sleep well tonight.

Qin Yuan slept very soundly that night, and when he woke up, it was already dawn.

Qin Yuan got up energetically, and after eating the lychees in the farm, he sent Fang Xi to get some wine jars. He wanted to continue making wine with the remaining hundreds of catties of lychees.

After Qin Yuan played around in the warehouse for a long time, he locked the door when he came out, and no one was allowed to enter.

Speaking of it, there are too many people in this mansion, it is inconvenient for Qin Yuan to do things, and it is easy for people to find his flaws.

When Qin Yuan took Fang Xi to the back garden, he told Fang Xi: "I like to be quiet, and I have my own preferences for food. Most of the time I don't eat at home, so there is no need to ask the kitchen to prepare meals for me. This mansion is actually not that big. , I’ve packed everything, leave some running errands, odd jobs, and compradors to cook for yourselves, and the rest will go to Zhuangzi. The monthly fee is calculated according to the amount of work, be fair, don’t favor one over the other. If you are capable, no matter what aspect, If you recommend it, there will be rewards for recommending it."

Although it's just a small family, Qin Yuan feels that when it comes to employing people, he also requires talents and fairness, so that such a family is not prone to troubles.

Fang Xi repeatedly agreed.

Qin Yuan arrived at the lake and went to the place where he stayed by the lake last night, and sure enough, he found a cave in the crevices of the rocks by the water.Qin Yuan ordered the two to fetch straw.

"There are willow branches here." Cai Yang thought that Qin Yuan wanted something to poke the cave.

"Straw." Qin Yuan emphasized.

Cai Yang hurriedly admitted that he was talking too much, and after a short while, panting, he came holding a bundle of straw.

Qin Yuan folded the three straws in half, and then wrapped another straw around it to form a thicker straw stick.

Qin Yuan inserted the straw stick into the crevice of the stone, poked it lightly twice, heard the sound of water splashing in the crevice, and felt that the other end of the straw stick had poked something softer.

Qin Yuan pulled out the straw stick.

"Send two people to guard here at night, put a few fish on the bank, and hang a lantern to watch." Qin Yuan then found the same hole in two other places by the lake, and gave the same order.

After dark, Cai Yang and Fang Xi led people to squat by the lake in person, because both of them were very curious about what was in the cave and how it was related to the crying every night.

As the night gradually deepened, everyone quietly held their breath, hid on the shore with lanterns, and waited quietly.

Suddenly, ripples appeared beside the water, and a flat, round brown head as big as a five or six-year-old child's head suddenly fell asleep. There seemed to be small bumps growing on the head, like leprosy.

Seeing this, the servant threw away the lantern and shouted, "Water ghost!"

The servant turned and ran.

At this time, the other two house servants who were guarding by the lake heard the sound and ran away in fright.

Fang Xi and Cai Yang ran back and forth to report to Qin Yuan, telling Qin Yuan what they saw.

After listening to their description, Qin Yuan roughly drew the shape of the head they described with a pen, and asked them if it looked like this.

Fang Xi, Cai Yang and others nodded repeatedly.

After Qin Yuan finished speaking, he ordered people to take the fish to the lake again.At this time, everyone found that the fish they kept by the lake were gone.

"It's a giant salamander, don't be afraid."

"Giant salamander? Ah, no wonder it sounds like a human, no, it sounds like a baby crying." Fang Xi realized, "There are also in Nu's hometown, only occasionally in deep mountains and streams."

Everyone was relieved to hear that it was just a 'fish'.

"But it sounded like a ghost to me." Cai Yang sighed.

"The heads are as big as a child's head. They must have lived for some years. No one has lived in this mansion, so no one has discovered them." Fang Xi guessed, "It must be too big, and they scream loudly."

"Now is the time for them to reproduce, and their voices may change slightly. As Fang Xi said, their voices are powerful, and everyone has ghosts in their hearts. Naturally, they are thinking in a creepy way. "Qin Yuan reassures everyone that there is no need to be afraid. "The giant salamander stays in the cave during the day and only comes out at night. If you have time, buy some fish and put them in the pond. They will become fine when they are old, so they should be treated kindly. "

Fang Xi and Cai Yang agreed repeatedly.

When walking back, Cai Yang suddenly understood.During the day, why doesn't my husband want willow branches, only straw.Because when the straw is soft, it will not hurt the giant salamander.

"Lang Jun is really kind," Fang Xi sighed, "We followed the right person this time."

The ghost screams in the mansion were finally cleared up. Everyone was light and slept very soundly that night, and they couldn't hear the giant salamanders in the backyard at all.

But the people in the house couldn't hear it, but the people in the next door heard it.

Ever since Changsun Wuji saw a ghost in Qin Yuan's mansion last time, he had talked about it with the butler and asked him to keep a close watch on the movement of Qin Yuan's mansion.After all, he got this mansion for Qin Yuan, and he has to be responsible to Qin Yuan.

The butler was naturally concerned, and asked the servants in the servants' rooms who live closer to the next door to pay attention to the movements of the next door when they go to bed at night.

When Chou was ugly, the servant went out to go to the toilet, and heard ghostly cries of 'ahhh' coming from the next door, so he was so frightened that he hurried to report to the housekeeper.The butler hastily knocked on Changsun Wuji's door and explained the situation.

Changsun Wuji immediately asked someone to invite a Taoist priest, while he put on his clothes, took the mahogany sword given to him by the famous Taoist priest whom he didn't know before, and led a group of strong men, rushing towards the Qin residence aggressively.

Because the servants of the Qin Mansion didn't sleep well for several days, Qin Yuan ordered everyone to sleep peacefully tonight.The Qin Mansion has no servants to guard the gate tonight, so the servants lock the door very firmly, and the gate is far away from the houses where the servants live.That's why Changsun Wuji and others knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.

"Lang Jun, could something really happen, everyone inside—" The butler mouthed 'death', he definitely couldn't say such a bad word.

Changsun Wuji ordered people to climb over the wall quickly, and he did the same.

The butler immediately ordered people to go back to the house to move the ladders, one after another climbed over the wall one after another, and the sky was gradually getting brighter at this time.

Because the place over the wall was relatively close to Qin Yuan's bedroom, Qin Yuan just woke up and opened the window in a daze when he heard the sound.Qin Yuan happened to see Changsun Wuji hunched over, with his back to himself, climbing down the ladder.

The servants who came down from Changsun's mansion were holding a knife in their hands and looking around vigilantly. When they saw Qin Yuan squinting lazily, he was lying on the window sill looking at them.

All the servants in the Changsun Mansion fell silent.

"Qin Shaoqing seems to be fine, he is right behind Mr. Lang." The housekeeper came to his senses, raised his head and said to eldest grandson Wuji.

Changsun Wuji came down from the ladder just two steps away. After hearing what the housekeeper said, he stepped on the ground and staggered.Changsun Wuji slipped down from the ladder, luckily he was not high enough, a servant helped him up in time.

"Hahaha--"

Laughter was accompanied by the sound of hands clapping on the windowsill.

Changsun Wuji turned around angrily, only to find that Qin Yuan was laughing at him.

Changsun Wuji yelled at Qin Yuan: "Why is no one answering the door?"

Qin Yuan was stunned for a moment, but the smile was still on the corner of his mouth, "I guess they are all fast asleep, no one heard."

"Your house is so unruly, and everyone is as dishonest as you!" Changsun Wuji continued to scold.

In order to alleviate the embarrassment of his husband, the housekeeper of the Changsun's mansion hurriedly explained the process to Qin Yuan.The housekeeper told Qin Yuan that his husband overcame the wall because he was worried about Qin Shaoqing's situation in the mansion.

Changsun Wuji gave Qin Yuan a blank look, implying that he is a wolf.

Qin Yuan suppressed his laughter, "Is the ghost in the backyard screaming? The case has been solved. Thank you for worrying about me."

After Changsun Wuji inquired, he learned that the ghost screaming thing in the backyard was a giant salamander, and he felt that it was a coincidence.

"Actually, the Feng Shui of this house is very good. Giant salamanders rarely survive in the pond of the mansion. They usually live in streams with cool water, lush aquatic plants, and fast-flowing water. The fact that these giant salamanders can reproduce here at least shows that the water in my mansion is clean. Yes, there may be an undercurrent in the lake, and the lake in the backyard may be running water." Qin Yuan said with emotion.

"The mystery of ghost calls is solved, but there are still ghosts in your house. Don't let your guard down, you won't know if you are eaten by ghosts later." Changsun Wuji said with emotion, "I heard that there are three locks on a house by your lake. , is there blood in it?"

Because the servants of Changsun's mansion had come to Qin's mansion to help, when the servants were working, they would report any abnormalities to Changsun Wuji.

"Yes." Qin Yuan suddenly remembered this matter, "But look at the rust on the lock, it looks like it has been in recent years, maybe ask General Qin if he knows."

Qin Qiong had lived here before.

Qin Yuan called Qin Qiong, and after showing him the room by the lake, Qin Qiong said: "During the month I lived here, there were ghosts screaming in the backyard, and the servants invited Taoist priests, glutinous rice and dog blood. The whole house was sprinkled, and there were shouts near the house, so I followed suit, and naturally the house will be locked and sealed with talisman papers."

After Qin Qiong finished explaining, she nervously asked Qin Yuan if he saw a ghost again, "Did you also hear the ghost screaming?"

Qin Qiong was then led to the lake to look at the giant salamander's cave, and to remove the stones from the cave.Qin Yuan poked his head to look, and finally saw a brown giant salamander lying in the water. He didn't see the whole picture, but only saw a short section of its body to deduce its size.Qin Qiong originally wanted to tear the whole thing apart and catch it out to have a look, but was stopped by Qin Yuan.

Qin Qiong was surprised: "Could it be that the thing that made my whole house restless was the thing?"

"If you only hear a child-like cry at night, and the cry is probably near the lake, it should be it." Qin Yuan explained.

"Yes, yes, that's it! I didn't expect it to be it! But when we were drinking at your house before, there was a ghost!" After Qin Qiong suddenly realized, she came to her senses and insisted that it would be safer for Qin Yuan to move. Giant salamanders and ghosts coexist.

Qin Yuan laughed and shook his head.

Qin Qiong asked Qin Yuan to be serious, this was what his elder brother said, and he swore not to lie to him.

Changsun Wuji saw the clue, immediately stopped Qin Yuan, and asked him seriously: "To hell with us that night, did you play tricks?"

Qin Yuan: "What cat? Do you want to hug my black and white flower?"

"Qin Yuan!" Changsun Wuji glared at Qin Yuan angrily.

"That's all, it's not a big deal." Seeing that Changsun Wuji was really angry, Qin Qiong tried to persuade him to fight.

Qin Yuan reminded Changsun Wuji that he did not do any good either. He was the one who arranged a haunted house for him with ill intentions at the beginning, and wanted to blackmail him for a meal later.

"You really think I'm easy to bully, and my kirsch is so easy to drink? How can you do it if you don't have the guts!"

Changsun Wuji walked away, warning Qin Yuan before leaving.

"Wait and see, it looks good with you."

"Tell me, it's not good to offend anyone, you have to compete with the bad-tempered person." Qin Qiong laughed at Qin Yuan, expressing that he didn't care about it, and that his brothers were having fun because they had a good relationship.

Qin Qiong left through the back door, which was closer to where he was working.

Qin Yuan also left the mansion afterward. He thought that Changsun Wuji had already left, but he didn't expect that he was still at the gate of his mansion. Looking closer, Tuli Khan was standing opposite Changsun Wuji, and behind him were more than a dozen attendants. , and another strange-style carriage parked behind.

Both of them stood upright, looked at each other fiercely, and didn't speak, as if they were playing the game of 'look at each other' very seriously.

"You two, who is this?" Qin Yuan's voice failed to divert the two's attention, and they were still looking at each other.

Qin Yuan looked to the left, then to the right.At this time, the housekeeper of Changsun Mansion came to tell Qin Yuan in a low voice that Changsun Wuji had been to Hedong Road before and fought against Tuli Khan.When Tuli Khan confronted Changsun Wuji, he was unable to defeat Changsun Wuji's army horse, so he attacked Changsun Wuji in the valley while fleeing.

"Our army suffered heavy losses?" Qin Yuan asked.

"There were no casualties." The steward explained to Qin Yuan embarrassingly, "Those ambush soldiers didn't throw stones, didn't shoot arrows, they sprinkled cow and sheep dung all over, and it was all sticky with urine."

puff!

Qin Yuan couldn't hold back, covered his mouth and laughed.He finally understood why Li Shimin didn't call his grandson Wuji when he met Tuli Khan yesterday.The "resentment" between Changsun Wuji and Tuli Khan is indeed deep, very deep, unbreakable.

"It's getting late, why don't we go to Dali Temple first?" Qin Yuan suggested to Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji squinted his eyes, still staring at Tuli Khan, scolding him to get out wherever he came from, and rarely appearing at the gate of his mansion.

"This is the Qin Mansion." Tuli Khan corrected.

Changsun Wuji pointed to his mansion, which was the direction behind Tuli Khan's carriage, "You and your carriage and horse entourage just passed by my mansion. There are so many outstanding people here that I can't stand those stinky things that smell like feces and urine. come over."

"Eldest grandson is really stingy. It happened many years ago. I was still a baby at that time, and I was ignorant. Why should I take the joke seriously." Tuli Khan laughed, but it provoked the eldest grandson Wuji again.

Changsun Wuji immediately ordered his subordinates to go down to the latrine to bring a bucket of excrement, and today he would also be 'playing' and 'ignorant' with Tuli Khan.

Tuli Khan immediately cupped his hands to Qin Yuan and said: "It's not a good day today, I met people I shouldn't have met when I went out, and I will come to see Qin Shaoqing some other day."

After Tuli Khan finished speaking, he gave Qin Yuan a standard smile showing eight big white teeth.Tuli Khan immediately got into the carriage and ordered his subordinates to walk around in front of the Qin residence, "Don't go through the door of the cheapskate's house. If he gets angry and gets sick, it will be bad. We are guests of the Tang Dynasty. You should keep a low profile."

After Changsun Wuji heard this, he whispered a few words to the housekeeper beside him, and the housekeeper agreed with a snickering smile, and went immediately.

"What bad idea did you come up with?" Qin Yuan asked Changsun Wuji.

"It's nothing serious, and we haven't settled our debt yet." Changsun Wuji cast a cold glance at Qin Yuan, and left with a flick of his sleeve.

Qin Yuan shouted at him: "Our accounts are equal!"

Although far away, Qin Yuan heard Changsun Wuji's cold snort very clearly.

Qin Yuan tilted his head and said to Fang Xi: "Look at him, does he look like a child?"

Fang Xi suppressed a smile: "My mother said before that no matter how old a man is, sometimes he acts like a child."

Qin Yuan said happily to the other party: "It's still your mother who is transparent."

After arriving at Dali Temple, Qin Yuan carefully read the list handed over by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This list not only included the names of Zhou Cairen and the palace people around Hu Yunu, but also integrated the age, hobbies and progress of these people. The family background in front of the palace, such as the residence of parents and brothers, what they live on.

After Qin Yuan browsed through it, he found that there was a maid named Qiuju beside Hu Yunu, whose father was a doctor in the village of his hometown.Although the doctors in the village are not very capable and can only prescribe medicines for minor ailments, Qiu Ju grew up in such a family, and it is inevitable that she will come into contact with medicinal materials. know some.

In the list, there are also other maids' comments on Qiu Ju, saying that she is a bit petty and greedy, and likes to bully others.

Qin Yuan looked at the imperial physician's diagnosis and the description of witnesses at the time. When Hu Yunv was poisoned, her whole body was red, she clutched her chest, had shortness of breath, and vomited. She died shortly after the imperial physician arrived.

This symptom appears to be a heart problem caused by the poison.

Now that the target is locked, Qin Yuan decided to enter the palace once.

When he arrived at Hu Cairen's residence, Empress Changsun sent the eunuch in charge to tell Qin Yuan.

"Recently, the palace people around Hu Cairen and Zhou Cairen are actually quite peaceful, except for one named Qiu Ju who seems to be a bit abnormal, but I don't know if it is abnormal. This palace lady always wants to go to the garden at the back recently. But I dismissed her calmly a few times, and I didn't let her succeed."

Qin Yuan followed what the eunuch said and went to a nearby garden.There is a tree in the garden that is blooming. The leaves are dark green and flat, red and white. The flowers are big and gorgeous clustered together, very beautiful.

Seeing Qin Yuan paying attention to these flowers, the eunuch explained with a smile: "This is from the south, what is it called a peach, and it will be moved indoors in winter to provide carbon for food."

"Oleander." Qin Yuan answered.

The eunuch hurriedly agreed, that's the name.

Oleander is highly toxic, and the toxin can cause a toxic reaction in the human heart.Combined with Hu Yunu's death symptoms, it can be known that the poison Hu Yunu was poisoned by was this substance.

Qin Yuan ordered someone to take the court lady Qiu Ju, threw two oleander leaves in front of her, and scolded her.Qiu Ju was so frightened that she trembled all over, kowtowed on the ground, and began to explain what had happened.

"Hu Yunu was so angry that she was demoted and wanted to die. She knew that the servant girl knew this, and forced the servant girl to poison him. If the servant girl didn't want to, she threatened the servant girl not to obey. In the future, she would try every means to torture the servant girl to death," Qiu said. After Ju finished speaking, she rolled up her sleeves and showed Qin Yuan the bruises on her arms, "This is what Hu Yunu did when she took her anger out on her maid. The maid had no choice but to tell Hu Yunu to use the bruises from the garden. Oleander is fatal. The servant thought that Hu Yunu was just going to use this poison to kill herself, but she never thought that she would not be willing to die, and Zhou Cairen was still at ease, so she wanted to pull her as a backup."

After Qiu Ju finished speaking, she wept and cried out for injustice, emphasizing several times that she really didn't know that it was Hu Yunv who wanted to harm someone, and she had no choice but to do so.

"The oleander poison, did you give it to me, or did Hu Yunv get it herself?" There is an essential difference between the two, and Qin Yuan wants to ask clearly.

Qiu Ju quickly shook her head, explaining that she didn't do it.

"Then you always want to sneak to the garden these days, why?" Qin Yuan asked again.

Qiu Ju froze for a moment.

Qin Yuan suddenly slapped the table and scolded her for lying, "If the matter has nothing to do with you, if you are really victimized and forced to do it, you can just shrink your neck and hide, why do you want to take the initiative to go to the garden? I am afraid that this case will find out your own head Now, you want to pick oleanders again, and frame the people around you to take the blame for you, right?"

"Your maidservant dare not, my maidservant absolutely dare not, my maidservant is wronged!" Qiu Ju continued to kowtow while crying.

"The bruise on your arm is likely to be pinched by yourself." Qin Yuan said to Qiu Ju, "If you pinch yourself, it's easier to pinch the inner side, and the pinch may be heavier, and it may be lighter if the outer side is inconvenient." Of course, if Qiu Ju is smart enough to have this awareness, she can pinch the inner and outer sides almost the same.But Qin Yuan felt that most people would not think so comprehensively.

Qin Yuan asked Qiu Ju to expose both arms, and sure enough, the bruises near the center and inside of the arms were heavier, while the outer sides of the arms were lighter.

In fact, Qiu Ju can also explain that the difference in light and light colors is caused by different periods.

But Qiu Ju was guilty at first, and she was so frightened that she couldn't say anything after being fooled like this. She just cried and begged for mercy, her body shaking like a sieve.

Later, Qiu Ju confessed.

Hu Yunv was so angry that she just wanted to seek death, and wanted to take Zhou Cairen to be buried with her, so she asked her how to do it, and she told Hu Yunv about the poisonous oleander.That morning when Hu Yunv went to Zhou Cairen's place, Hu Yunv wrapped the smashed oleander with strong sheep intestines, put it in her mouth, and hid it under her tongue.When she went to apologize to Zhou Cairen and pretend to be reconciled, she bit the intestines in her mouth and drank Zhou Cairen's juice.

Afterwards, the palace began to investigate the matter, and learned that it was Qin Shaoqing, the God of Dali Temple, who came to investigate. Qiu Ju was afraid that her affairs would be exposed.After two days of enduring, she became more and more cranky.Instead of waiting to be beaten, it is better to take the initiative to attack, so he decided to pick two oleander leaves to frame the court lady Cuilan in the next room.The reason why Qiu Ju knew that oleander was poisonous was because she learned it from her doctor father when she was young.

Qiu Ju's entire crime process is basically consistent with what Qin Yuan deduced.

Qin Yuan quickly sorted out the evidence, the case was closed, and after handing it over to the eunuch in charge, he wanted to leave.But when he was about to walk out of the palace gate, the eunuchs in the palace rushed out and asked Qin Yuan to speak at the Lizheng Hall, and was summoned by Empress Changsun.

Qin Yuan then turned back to visit Empress Changsun, and Li Shimin was naturally there too.

"You have found out about this case. The queen cherishes her talents and will definitely meet you." Li Shimin's tone was proud and happy, as if his son had been praised.

Empress Changsun sat beside Li Shimin virtuously, with a faint smile on her lips, and looked at Qin Yuan softly with her eyes.Empress Changsun suddenly remembered the incident of "Dancing with Butterflies" last time. That time, Qin Yuan made a timely move to save her and the emperor.At that time, the incident was chaotic, she didn't see it very clearly, but she vaguely remembered a man dressed like a palace lady who rushed out suddenly, looking at her at that time, she felt that he was an extraordinary person.

"I often hear Your Majesty mentioning you and saying that you are a genius. Today, the case of Hu Yunu has really shown me your ability." Empress Changsun immediately turned her head and smiled at Li Shimin, "With someone like him assisting Your Majesty, It can prevent many people from being wronged in vain and losing their lives in vain. If the judgment of the punishment and prison is fair, there will be no complaints, and if there is no complaint, there will be no anger, and many fights will be avoided."

Empress Changsun then gave examples to Li Shimin of the previous dynasties. Many of them rose up because of unfair punishments and prisons, and then overthrew the government. The most famous one is the Chen Sheng Wu Guang uprising.

Li Shimin nodded, followed by the importance of prison.He had already made a plan in his heart, so he trained Qin Yuan in the direction of Dali Siqing.If he is really capable of such a big task, it doesn't matter if he is younger. When he was as old as Qin Yuan, he took on more responsibilities than Qin Yuan, so he can still do it.

"I heard that you were an official before, and you lived in a small house with no servants. Later, the sage suggested that a house was arranged for you, but I heard that it is a famous haunted house? You don't complain. Because of this, Empress Changsun admired Qin Yuan even more.

Empress Changsun has always advocated frugality, so when she learned that Qin Yuan also had a simple temperament, she somewhat sympathized with her.

Empress Changsun then politely asked Qin Yuan to work harder and help Li Shimin stabilize the Tang Dynasty, so that the people all over the world can live a happy and peaceful life.

Qin Yuan respectfully saluted and agreed, and couldn't help feeling that Li Shimin really found an excellent wife.

After coming out of the Lizheng Hall, Qin Yuan saw Changsun Wuji.

When Changsun Wuji saw Qin Yuan, he was speechless, scolding him why he went to his sister's bedroom.

"Of course it's Empress Changsun who summoned the officials." Qin Yuan sighed and asked Changsun Wuji specifically, "Uncle Guo didn't know about this?"

Qin Yuan's implication: You are the elder brother of the eldest grandson empress, and you don't even know the news, ah ha ha ha, are you not favored by me?

Changsun Wuji knew Qin Yuan's virtues too well, so he naturally understood Qin Yuan's voice immediately.He gave Qin Yuan a blank look, meaning he was too lazy to argue with him, and then swaggered into the Lizheng Hall.

But Qin Yuan could tell that this person must be thinking about it, otherwise he wouldn't roll his eyes at him.

Qin Yuan was very happy, and he felt lighter after coming out of the palace. The issue of the ghost house and Hu Yunv was settled, and the rest was the case of the secret drama and the prophet.

This case is actually somewhat similar to Hu Yunv's case, but a bit more complicated.

The key to Hu Yunv's case is to investigate the source of the drug, and the key to the Prophet's case is to investigate the purpose of the crime.

As for the secret play picture, it seems to be related to some treasure of the Alien League, but why did this thing appear in the hands of the shopkeeper Zhuang who is not important in the Alien League organization?If it's really a treasure, isn't it a bit too hasty for shopkeeper Zhuang to hide this thing in the hidden compartment under the closet when he is carrying out the task of the leader Zhou Yun?

After Qin Yuan returned to Dali Temple, he studied the map of Pingyang County for a long time. He wanted to go to the county annals of Pingyang County to trace the history of Pingyang County, and asked the knowledgeable Wen Yanbo about the situation of Xiantan Mountain.

Of the three mountains drawn in Pingyang County on the map, only Xiantan Mountain is related to 'Longevity'.It is recorded in the county annals of Pingyang County that to the east of the fairy altar, there is a flat stone with a square of more than ten feet. There is a bamboo forest next to the flat stone.Now on Xiantan Mountain, it is said that there are still remains of Ge Hong.

Ge Hong's cultivation is so advanced that it is not impossible for him to break through the secrets.Maybe there really is a secret about longevity, and Ge Hong hid it in Xiantan Mountain.

But maybe not.

The seemingly crucial last page was torn off, making people wonder where the treasure is hidden.But there is also a possibility that the other party has known him and knows that he has the ability to decipher the secret of the album.The album was deliberately made to look like the real thing, leaving suspense, distracting his train of thought, and letting him focus on longevity.

The planner wanted Qin Yuan to think that his existence had triggered the Alien League's pursuit of longevity, and that he was in danger.

Recalling the confession of the shopkeeper Zhuang who hid the secret play picture, he claimed that he was ordered by the leader Zhou Yun to capture him alive.The prophet deliberately wrote a collusion letter with obvious flaws, announcing to him through Tuli Khan: the existence of the prophet is really dangerous.

The common ground of the two incidents is provocation, and provocation against him is also provocation against the court.

Qin Yuan felt that the timing of the sudden disappearance of the leader Zhou Yun was very strange, and it was also very strange that Zhou Yun suddenly appeared in the confession of the shopkeeper Zhuang.If Zhou Yun really wanted to deal with him, choosing Zhou Xiaolu would definitely be easier than Shopkeeper Zhuang.

Furthermore, when Qin Yuan had doubts at the beginning and wanted to scrutinize shopkeeper Zhuang, shopkeeper Zhuang was silenced.

……

While thinking about eating lychees, Qin Yuan spit out a bunch of lychee cores on the table, then opened the window and threw them out.

"Hey—" There was a short cry, which stopped abruptly before the pronunciation was complete.

Qin Yuan lowered his head and found a small official squatting under his window, who was hit with a lychee core on the head at this moment.

The little official was flustered when Qin Yuan found out, and he showed a look of 'I'm going to die when it's over', and repeatedly apologized to Qin Yuan.

"What are you doing here?" Qin Yuan asked.

The little official put his hands behind his back in embarrassment and restraint, his eyes subconsciously glanced at the direction of the next door, and he said nothing.

Qin Yuan squinted at him and ordered him to turn his back.

The little official turned his back, but at this moment his two hands were quickly placed in front of his body.Qin Yuan noticed that the little official was holding something in his hand, something seemed to be wriggling in his sleeve, and ordered him to stretch out his hand.

The little official closed his eyes, stretched out the hand holding the snake, and showed it to Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan noticed that the snake was non-venomous and had his teeth pulled out.

The little official panickedly explained to Qin Yuan that the snake was not poisonous, it was just used to scare people, and it really wouldn't hurt people.

"Elder Grandson asked you to do it, right?"

The little official bowed his head and said nothing, obviously he didn't dare to speak.

"You are too poor, just stand here, give me the snake." Qin Yuan reached out to take the snake, jumped out of the window, went directly to the next door, quietly opened Changsun Wuji's back window, and sent the snake to him. went in.

Half an hour later, Changsun Wuji's roar came from the next door.

Qin Yuan laughed happily, crossed his hands, rested his chin, and looked in the direction of the door.

Not long after, Changsun Wuji rushed in and threw a dead snake onto Qin Yuan's table.

"Why are you so angry, the grievances between us really don't need to hurt this innocent creature." Qin Yuan sighed and looked at the corpse on the table, "You died unjustly, if you have any grievances, go to the eldest grandson, yes He killed you and pulled out your teeth."

Changsun Wuji had nothing to say, because he was the first to release the snake.

"How is the case investigation going? You procrastinate like this, when will it be solved? Do you think Dali Temple is a place to raise idlers, and let you mess around like this? One case after another in the Yirenmeng, causing panic, Every time you solve a case, you only break the surface, but you can't catch the real mastermind behind the scenes."

Changsun Wuji began to divert the artillery fire.

"I think when you find out what's going on with the Alien League, those people will have died of old age. Now you can follow me to participate in the performance, and ask the saint to directly destroy the Alien League."

"It will take time to solve the case." Qin Yuan was not annoyed, and explained in a slow tone.

"How much time do you need? One day, one month, one year, ten years are all time." Changsun Wuji asked in a tone-deaf manner.

"Is this public revenge?" Qin Yuan asked Changsun Wuji.

"Wrong, I didn't say much because I was accommodating you before. Now I don't want to accommodate you, so I have to do business. Listen clearly, this is business!" Changsun Wuji corrected.

"I understand." Qin Yuan suddenly realized, and immediately ordered his subordinates to arrest Sui Fengyun, the owner of the No. [-] Restaurant, and told his eldest grandson Wuji, "I'm so angry with you, I don't need more time, how about an hour?"
