Li Huaiyun glanced around cautiously, then leaned forward and said softly, "The identity of the seriously ill prince is questionable! He was not buried in the imperial mausoleum after his death, and no one knows what to do with him."
A trace of surprise flashed across Qin Gang's face, "I have heard about this a little bit, but I have never heard of this questionable identity!"
"Who did you hear this from?"
"It's someone who works in the palace!" Li Huaiyun simply said, without saying that he had learned about the situation from Dali Temple.
"What's the specific situation?"
"The identity of this black-robed man is most likely Wei Shunkai. When he was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he participated in the investigation of the Medical Saint's treatment case."
Qin Gang immediately put down the tea cup in his hand, "Years ago, the prince was seriously ill. Few people knew about it. Later he became seriously ill. The Holy Emperor only announced the matter and started looking for a doctor who could cure him all over the Zhou Dynasty. .”
"Yes, the prince lived for two more years, but he still passed away due to serious illness. Later, someone discovered that something was wrong with the prince's body, so they began to report it. After examination, it was found that the prince was poisoned by the soul-twisting silk! Then, Let Wei Shun investigate the whole story."
"Guhunsi, someone wants this prince."
"Yes!"
Qin Gang pondered for a moment, "It's because of the prince's identity! As long as the identity is exposed, it will be a great shame for the royal family."
"Therefore, there must be someone else who killed the prince, and blaming the medical saint is just to save face."
Li Huaiyun nodded in agreement, cupped his fists and saluted, "Sikyong is really quick in thinking, and he quickly understood the reason for this situation!"
"Wei Shun started investigating this case, but it was a pity that this case could not be followed up. In addition, there was a fire in Shaoqing's home, and his whole family died in the fire. He escaped for unknown reasons, but his whole appearance was completely destroyed. With this, he came to exact revenge.”
Li Huaiyun knocked on the table and said decisively, "There must be someone behind this case. The Medical Saint knows the truth about his identity, but the emperor will not let him leave.
And that Wei Shaoqing probably found some clues, so he was silenced, which was considered a warning. "
"Then who has this possibility?"
Li Huaiyun looked heavy and sighed deeply, "It's probably this King Lin. He has a high position and is the only one who can freely enter and exit the palace. As long as he pays respects to his elders, he can freely enter and exit the harem. This matter is only done by him." It can be done.”
Qin Gang tightly grasped the gray beard on his chin, with a slightly solemn expression, "Prince Lin! If you think about it carefully, there is really no other possibility except him. This Guodong, who has great military exploits, is also the uncle of the current emperor. According to your guess , the one who colludes with the monsters can only be King Lin, because the soul-twisting silk is a poison that is only available to the monster clan."
"Yes! This guy holds military power, and the guards and servants below him are also arrogant and domineering."
"Defiling the harem and colluding with monsters, each one is a capital crime of beheading. This King Lin should be punished. No one in the court dares to go against him, so I want to change positions."
Qin Gang didn't say those words, he just nodded a little.
"If this is really the case, I believe that Sikyong, your judgment is correct, but that guy has the intention of treason!"
Qin Gang looked solemn, "The reason for doing this is probably that the prince's affairs can no longer be suppressed! The emperor probably already knows something about it."
"It's been so many years, and the prince has died a long time ago, and he will be dragged out to make trouble!"
"It must be that the current Holy Emperor may not be able to accept this reality."
Li Huaiyun waved his hand, "I don't think things are that complicated. According to Occam's razor principle, under the same conditions, the event has a simpler explanation, which is completely correct."
"So, I think this matter is completely because Prince Lin wants to rebel. The prince who poisoned the prince just doesn't want the matter to be publicized. He has a big stain and it is difficult to convince the public."
Li Huaiyun's theory made Qin Gang feel unusually strange, "Wait a minute, who is that Orm's razor?"
"Thinkers tell us that the simplest way is the most correct, without beating around the bush."
"Yeah!" Qin Gang also felt that this so-called theory was quite correct and there was no need to beat around the bush.
He let out a long sigh and continued, "It's a pity that the Demon Slayer Division cannot interfere in government affairs, so no matter how much trouble they make, they can't have the slightest impact on the situation."
Li Huaiyun also shook his head, "Then we can only move the bench and be like a bunch of people, watching the people from both sides scheming in the palace, taking great action, and maybe even mutiny somewhere."
"That's all. The purpose of the Demon Slayer Division was to protect the peace of the Great Zhou Dynasty. As for who will be the emperor, these are really not our decisions!"
This situation makes me feel ashamed.
Li Huaiyun asked, "By the way! Sikyong, can you tell me what is being imprisoned at the bottom of this demon prison? Why do monsters come here and go to the bottom to find them?"
"The monster imprisoned at the bottom of the Demon Lock Prison is a head!"
"Head?"
"Yes, this was during the Battle of the Ambush. King Lin personally took off the head of the leader of the monster clan who led tens of thousands of monsters to attack. Taking advantage of their subordinates who were hungry and cold, he directly began to fight wildly. As long as If you are brave enough, you can take off directly and charge into battle with the three of you."
"At this time, King Lin personally fought with the demon clan at the leader."
"After that, it was a bloody massacre. Many people on both sides died. As you know, King Lin personally cut off the monster's head."
"Since it was cut off by King Lin, why is it in the Demon Locking Prison?"
"Actually, the demon king's head was placed in the palace at first, but after that, many strange things happened in the palace. For example, headless corpses were walking in the palace in the middle of the night, or poultry in the palace Overnight, all their heads were removed, and some servants were taken out of the house while they were sleeping, and when they woke up, they found themselves sleeping in the yard outside."
"What's more, even the servants and servants of the palace have been infected with strange diseases one after another and died inexplicably."
"In view of the occurrence of these things, King Lin asked for help from the Demon Slayer Division. Therefore, we placed this thing in the deepest part of the Demon Locking Prison. I really didn't expect that they actually spent such a long time preparing to steal it. Corpse!"
"It seems that this head hides a lot of secrets. Otherwise, those monsters wouldn't have been plotting for so long to bring back this head!"
"Yes!"
Qin Gang listened to the basic situation reported to him by Li Huaiyun, and also explained some of the details very clearly.
"It seems that if you want to continue the investigation, you have to start from the rock wall of the sewer!"
Li Huaiyun nodded at him desperately, "I wonder if Sikyong has thought of a strategy to deal with it!"
Qin Gang shook his head, "Not for now! Everything needs to be considered in the long run."
"It's a pity that there are some troubles in the follow-up of this case. In addition, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice who killed the demon knew the ultimate purpose of the demon, but he still couldn't stop them from taking away the head."
"The enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. In addition, there are often people who betray Dazhou for their own interests. In addition, there are still many problems within Dazhou itself!"
"For a while, the Great Zhou Dynasty was in turmoil. It is still unknown whether it can withstand the disasters that are constantly emerging!"
"Are we really going to witness the fall of the dynasty?"
"That would be terrible! With the current situation in Da Zhou, I'm afraid that when the time comes, wars will continue and monsters will take advantage of it, and all the lives will be devastated."
The two of them sat there in silence. They didn't speak for a while. The room seemed extremely quiet, and the light of the candle on the table flickered slightly.
Li Huaiyun thought to himself that there was no use worrying here, he still had to take it one step at a time. He asked Qin Gang, "By the way, Sikyong, if I solve the case this time, do I still have some reward?"
Qin Gang picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "Is this what you are most concerned about?"
"That's right! After all, I worked hard to find out the case. I almost lost my life in order to deal with the Minister of Punishment."
"Isn't this what a monster hunter should do?"
Li Huaiyun almost cursed, but he endured it. After all, he was still a member of the Demon Slayer Division, and he was now face to face with Sikyong, so he had to be polite.
This is a serious squeeze!
"It's what I should do, but I am also a D-level monster hunter. I am facing such a powerful monster. If it were anyone else, the grass on their grave would be one meter high, and they could be reincarnated."
Qin Gang had no expression on his face, and seemed to think that his contribution was deserved.
"To tell you the truth, the expenses required by the family are still not enough. In addition, when I was in a coma, my aunt spent a lot of money to get me those precious medicinal materials! Only then did I get back from the hell."
"In addition, my family has spent a lot of money on me before!"
Qin Gang laughed lightly, knowing that Li Huaiyun was thinking about the reward, and he had discussed this matter with the emperor.
The current emperor was also quite sure of Li Huaiyun's contribution and was ready to reward him. He also asked Sikyong if Mu Yuan and Li Huaiyun were a good match.
However, Qin Gang expressed his disapproval. First of all, he did not want Li Huaiyun to leave the Demon Slayer Division. This young man had unlimited potential and high abilities. Once he became the consort and had no worries about food and clothing, his talent would be wasted.
The other is that the Demon Slayer Division is in urgent need of such capable people. Entering the palace to serve as a consort is actually a waste of talent. He only asks for more rewards from Li Huaiyun.
Seeing Li Huaiyun so anxious, he snickered in his heart and said calmly, "Your situation is well known to everyone. For the Demon Slayer Division, if they can solve this case, they will definitely be given some rewards. However, it is not a lot of."
Upon hearing this, Li Huaiyun suddenly became anxious, "Sikyong, I risked my life! My family has spent all their money to save me from being seriously injured, so I can't just throw away a few hundred taels!"
"If this is the case, who will work in the Demon Slayer Division in the future? Don't you think the emperor has no reward at all? I have saved his daughter several times, and she is also the helmsman of the Demon Slayer Division."
"In this regard, I believe Mu Yuan will repay you well!"
"Uh!" Li Huaiyun gave a wry smile. It's a good idea that she didn't share my silver, but she's still going to repay me?
A kind smile appeared on Qin Gang's face. He picked up the tea cup and said, "Do you really think the emperor will forget your contribution?"
"Hey!" Li Huaiyun immediately became energetic, "It sounds like the emperor is planning to reward you?"
"That's natural. You are a meritorious person, and you have also avoided major turmoil in the palace. If you don't reward me, how can you deserve the opportunity you risked your life for?"
"Sikyong, how much is this reward?"
"Tomorrow, there will be an imperial edict coming to your house. You will know then!"
Li Huaiyun rubbed his hands excitedly, "Um, I wonder what this reward is?"
