There were many flowers placed on the bathing table. Among them, a kind of golden grass was the most inconspicuous, but it attracted all of Yun Que's attention.
This kind of grass is golden all over and as thin as cicada wings. At first glance, it looks like gold leaves carved from gold by a skilled craftsman.
"This is……"
Yun Que picked up a piece of golden grass and had an answer in his heart, but he couldn't be sure.
Yin Xuan snorted coldly and said:
"I don't know, that's golden sand grass. It's said to be able to cleanse the body and strengthen the body. I don't like the taste and never use it."
There was a hint of pride in Yin Xuan's tone, and he felt that he could finally regain some face.
"It's indeed golden sand grass!"
Yun Que's eyes began to shine.
If you want to hit the sixth-grade master, you must temper your body to the extreme. The body is tempered by golden sand and wrapped in spiritual energy. It costs a million taels to have a chance to complete.
I didn’t expect everyone to be alive in the East Palace!
The bathhouse is inlaid with spiritual stones, and there is golden sand grass on hand. It's like pie in the sky.
No!
Instead of a pie falling, a roasted whole lamb fell!
There are ten pieces of golden sand grass in total. This thing is truly worth as much as gold. It is more expensive than gold. One piece is at least 500 taels of silver!
"Your Majesty, you don't mind if I use a piece of golden sand grass." Yun Que asked politely.
"Whatever you want." Yin Xuan said in an indifferent tone.
Yun Que threw a golden sand grass into the water and soon felt the breath from the spiritual grass washing over his body.
Yun Que felt relieved now.
You have to come to the East Palace often from now on, the prince is like a long-term meal ticket!
Yun Que now wants to return the North Street mansion given by the emperor and live in the East Palace from now on.
Seeing that Yun Que was enjoying the bath, Yin Xuan felt resentful and helpless. He lifted up his skirt and sat on the edge of the pool, stretching his feet into the water.
This prince not only looks like a girl, but also has feet like a woman's, small and white.
"Why aren't you afraid of me? Among the servants in the East Palace, there has never been anyone as arrogant as you."
Yin Xuan said dejectedly, no longer calling himself my palace.
"I'm not even afraid of monsters, so why should I be afraid of you? You are the prince, not a monster." Yun Que said.
"I am the future emperor, and I can decide the lives and deaths of millions of people with just one word!" Yin Xuandao said.
"It's hard to say what will happen in the future. Maybe I will still be a god in the future, reaching for the stars and the moon, and destroying a country with one punch." Yun Que said.
"Perhaps, I am not suitable to be an emperor..." Yin Xuan's expression dropped.
He knew his own weakness. He could not be as majestic as his father. He might not have any chance of being crowned emperor in this life, but he lived in the East Palace and was a legitimate prince.
"Who knows what will happen in the future. It's good to live one day at a time." Yun Que squinted his eyes, looking half asleep.
Neither of them spoke again.
Yin Xuan was thinking about something, while Yun Que was busy tempering his body.
After soaking for an entire hour, Yun Que stood up from the pool.
The dual effects of golden sand grass and spirit stone were truly astonishing. At this moment, Yun Que felt that his body had reached its limit.
It's not that you can no longer take a bath, but that you can no longer absorb it and you need to refine all the spiritual energy in your body.
Any further soaking would be a waste of time.
The golden sand grass has turned from golden to withered, completely losing its medicinal effect.
In one hour, five hundred taels were gone!
"If Your Highness has no other instructions, I have to go to the Ministry of Justice to take up my post. I have to go back to the academy in the evening. If I have time, I'll come back... uh, I'll study with the prince again." Yun Que put on his clothes, said goodbye and left.
When leaving, Yun Queshun took away two plum blossoms.
After Yun Que left, Yin Xuan hesitated.
Then she took off her skirt and walked into the pool.
He had just dressed up and needed to be completely washed. His body smelled of rouge, and the emperor would be furious if he smelled it.
There was no other way, Yin Xuan could only clean himself after Yun Que finished cleaning himself.
Sitting in the pool with his eyes closed, Yin Xuan finally calmed down. He felt that Yun Que's companion was not bad, at least he was completely different from the other submissive servants in the East Palace.
"Yun Que... a cunning guy."
Yin Xuan snorted coldly. His fingers touched something at the bottom of the water. When he picked it out, it looked like a caterpillar and grass.
If you look closely, you can see that it is sweat mud.
The prince's eyes widened, and after a long while he finally shouted:
"Smelly warrior! How long has it been since you took a shower! I hate men!"
…
After leaving the East Palace, Yun Que felt refreshed.
Looking back at the huge palace, Yun Que secretly renamed the East Palace, East Palace Bathhouse.
Hall of the Ministry of Justice.
Shangguan Hongtu, the Minister of Punishment, Chen Zhouhua, Wu Ying, Li Shu and others from the Supervisory Department are all waiting for Yun Que, the new colleague who has been promoted the fastest in history.
Plowing was an advantage. The emperor only removed him from his official position as Tianlao Tiexing Officer, demoted him two ranks, from the fourth rank to the sixth rank, and still served in the Tiluo Division.
It's just that Yun Que was a prisoner under Li Shu's jurisdiction before, but now he has become his immediate boss, Master Li Shu Li.
Yun Que greeted everyone and after meeting Shangguan Hongtu, he came to an old man sitting in the middle and bowed to salute.
"My subordinate Yun Que has met Lord Shangshu."
The tall old man in front of him is Jiang Luojun, the highest official of the Ministry of Punishment, a second-rank official, and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.
Jiang Luojun looked at the young man opposite him, nodded and said:
"It is said that a hero comes from a young age, and it is indeed true. It is commendable to be a fifth-rank official at a young age. From now on, you have to worry more about various matters in the prison. I suggest you check the doors of various cells first. , see if the knot is strong, and don’t let the strongman in the prison escape again."
What the Minister of Justice said was interesting and made everyone around him smile.
In the more than ten years since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, Yun Que was the only one who escaped from the sky prison.
"Don't worry, sir. I plan to replace the entire cell door with iron plates, leaving only a hole for food to come in and out. This will make it safer." Yun Que also made a joke.
Anyway, Yun Que was thick-skinned enough and didn't care if others made fun of him, let alone his immediate boss.
"Young people's ideas are very strange."
Jiang Luojun smiled, motioned for Yun Que to sit down, and said:
"Recently, there have been a lot of mysterious cases, causing trouble for the Ministry of Justice. The murderer who sneaked into the palace to kill people has not yet been found. This matter should be at the top of the list. You must try your best to find clues about the murderer and catch him as soon as possible."
At the end of Jiang Luojun's words, his voice became deeper, with an air of calmness and authority.
Everyone took orders one after another.
"Besides that, tracking down the remnants of the Red Lotus Sect is equally important. Many Red Lotus Sect bandits have been captured recently, but there is no news on where the Red Lotus Sect's lair is."
Jiang Luojun paused and asked, "How are you doing with the missing military crossbow weapon?"
Chen Zhouhua, the superintendent’s doctor, hurriedly replied:
"According to the clues brought back by Princess Lingyun, the crossbows in Heifeng Village came from a man nicknamed Huzi in Bashan City. His real name is Ling Huhao. He runs a pawn shop in Bashan City. His subordinates have sent people to track down many people. On that day, the pawn shop opened by this person has long been empty, and no trace of his whereabouts can be found."
Jiang Luojun muttered:
"The incident in Heifeng Village was very big. This person fled far away after receiving the news. It's not an accident. We will continue to track this person and issue a wanted order until he is caught! If he dares to sell military crossbows, I would like to see what he looks like. How many heads!"
Chen Zhouhua accepted the order.
Shangguan Hongtu frowned and said:
"Sir, General Su Hongshan of Bashan City has checked his headquarters, and no military crossbows have been lost. Most of the heavy military crossbows are forged in the imperial city. Could it be that someone in the imperial city is selling them privately? The princess once mentioned a The name says that the beard is working for General Luo."
"General Luo..."
Jiang Luojun shook his head and said: "There are hundreds of generals in the Jin Dynasty, but there is no such person among them. He is obviously a character made up by Linghu Hao in order to deceive Black Wind Village."
Everyone nodded, thinking that Master Shangshu's guess was reasonable. Anyone who dared to do the business of military crossbows should not believe anything they said.
Moreover, Jin State does not have this General Luo at all.
It's a pity that Ling Huhao's disappearance cut off the clues to the Junnu case. If they want to trace it again, the Criminal Department has no clue.
Yun Que opened his mouth at this time and said:
"Sir, I know a clue."
"Let's talk about it." Jiang Luojun showed a hint of interest.
"We don't know who is the source of selling the military crossbows, but we can trace it from the Red Lotus Sect who buys the military crossbows. Although Huzi is a middleman, he is more like a bridge builder. He exists to transport the military crossbows out of Bashan City smoothly. , My guess is that the leader of the Red Lotus Sect must know who General Luo is."
Yun Que expressed his opinion.
Jiang Luojun nodded slowly when he heard this and said:
"There is some truth to it. The Junnu case is inseparable from the Red Lotus Sect. It's just that the Red Lotus Sect is too secretive. We are in the light and they are in the dark. It is like moths in the wood. It is difficult to catch the leader."
"My subordinates have a clue that should be able to dig out many people from the Red Lotus Sect." Yun Que said.
"Yeah, what exactly is the clue?"
Jiang Luojun looked at Yun Que, and everyone else's eyes also focused on Yun Que.
"The city guard of Baiyu City, Negi Yi." Yun Que said in a deep voice: "At that time, the princess and I had just entered the city. Negi Yi used the excuse of suppressing bandits and closed the city for three days, saying that he had nothing to do with the Red Lotus Sect. Anyway, I didn't believe it. ."
Shangguan Hongtu questioned at this time:
"This is not the first time in the Jin Dynasty that the city guards closed down the city to suppress bandits. It can be said that it happens frequently, so it is not surprising. Why do you conclude that the negative changes are related to the Red Lotus Sect?"
"It's very simple, because there are no bandits near Baiyu City." Yun Que smiled and said, "Not to mention bandits, there are not even a few demons."
As a impoverished demon hunter, in the territory of Zhiyuan County, the big demon and the little demon wanted to run as fast as Yun Que could see him, let alone the bandits.
If he saw bandits, Yun Que would never let him go. He would definitely loot the bandits and not even a single coin would be left.
Therefore, the area near Baiyu City in Zangshi Town is very peaceful.
If there was any news about bandits, Yun Que would be the first one to kill them without sending troops from Baiyu City.
Yun Que would definitely do his part in the business with the money.
Jiang Luojun pondered for a while and then ordered:
"Send someone to Baiyu City to arrest Fu Yi and take him to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation."
Chen Zhouhua hurriedly accepted the order.
He actually accepted the order at this moment, and said with a bitter look on his face:
"Sir, our Criminal Department has been very busy recently. We have to investigate the murder case in the palace, as well as the Red Lotus Sect and the military crossbow. We are really busy. We might as well ask Si Tianjian to assist. I heard that the Red Lotus Sect has many masters, who are worse than evil spirits. It’s difficult to deal with, the people in Si Tianjian can’t just care about monsters and ignore monsters.”
"Isn't Si Tianjian's assistance not enough? We have to ask the Forbidden Army to help, making His Majesty feel that the Ministry of Punishment is full of losers!"
Jiang Luojun said with a serious expression: "Your Inspectorate Department is short of manpower, so you mobilize the Qiu Examination Department. If you don't have enough, you ask the Prisons Department, the Punishment Department, and the Law and Regulations Department to investigate the case!"
Chen Zhouhua did not dare to say anything and nodded in agreement.
Wu Ying cupped his hands and said:
"Sir, Yun Que once made a speculation that the murderer of the murder in the palace might be an insider. This person can approach the palace without being suspected. We can thoroughly investigate all the people who approached the palace that day, including the maids and eunuchs in the palace. In fact, they are all suspected.”
Wu Ying could have told the minister privately about the news and took the credit himself. The mention at this time was explained as Yun Que's guess, which was obviously to give Yun Que a good impression of his superior mind in front of the minister.
Jiang Luojun nodded slowly and said:
"It's possible. Send someone to check who approached the palace on the day of the murder."
This task fell on Chen Zhouhua again.
Chen Zhouhua had a bitter look on his face. It had been half a month. No matter where he checked, even if someone saw the murderer passing by, they probably wouldn't be able to remember the day they saw him.
This was the end of a routine meeting, and the Minister and the Minister left one after another.
As soon as the two adults left, the others finally relaxed.
Wu Ying proposed to help Yun Que pick up the wind and wash away the dust. Li Shu immediately volunteered to be the host and sent someone to Xianke Tower to find a location.
He was afraid that Yun Que, his new immediate boss, would have to wear small shoes for him. After all, when Yun Que was still a prisoner, he didn't give Yun Que any good looks and only gave him a few meals of meat.
There was still some time before lunch. After Yun Que left the hall, he went to the sky prison first.
Now that he's back, Amei can't even think about it.
Yun Que plans to calculate Chongzi's account carefully!
