Liangzhou, Haojing
Dusk, Xu Kingdom Palace
A ray of light came from afar and landed in front of a group of monks in front of the palace.
He Shouxin walked out of the crowd, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Master Nephew Yang, we meet again."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was stunned, as if he had seen a ghost.
"Zi, Zi Mansion, mid-term, how is this possible?"
When he met this young man in Zhuyang County, he was still in the late stage of foundation building. In just four years, it was actually the middle stage of the Purple Mansion.
Isn’t this too outrageous?
Yang Zhen smiled faintly and replied: "I have met Hall Master He, I just have some luck."
"Ah, good!" He Shouxin recovered from the shock, pointed to the person next to him and said: "Junior Brother Yang, this is the head of Jing'an Hall of our Law Enforcement Court, Mr. Pang Dai Shoupang. This time, the emperor of the palace will It’s all handled by Da Da people.”
Jing'an Hall is the Yunxiao Sect's agency responsible for investigation and investigation. It is the direct superior of the Jing'an Office and Jing'an Section in various places. It is said that there are many strange people and strange people in the hall, and they have all kinds of strange and weird ways to break the eucalyptus.
Yang Zhen turned around and saw that the man in front of her looked to be about forty years old, with a late cultivation level in Zifu, a Chinese character face, a short beard under his chin, and a calm and intimidating appearance.
Not daring to be rude, he cupped his fists and said, "I have met Hall Master Pang."
"Yes." Pang Daishou cupped his hands casually, his brows furrowed and hesitation on his face. He has been investigating this case for five or six days. Although the suspect has not yet been identified, there is not no progress. Such a big eucalyptus must have a complicated background. How can it be so easy to produce results? Unexpectedly, the superiors did not listen to his explanation at all, and actually sent him an assistant, who said he was good at investigating crimes.
This shows that you don't trust him!
If He Shouxin hadn't dragged him over hard, he wouldn't have wanted to be here at all.
When they met, he turned out to be such a young monk!
Could it be that my hundreds of years of experience are not as good as such a young boy?
It's simply too much!
"Brother Yang," he said with a sly smile: "When Hall Master He introduced me to me earlier, he said that you were in the advanced stage of foundation building. I didn't expect that in just a few years, your level has almost caught up with us old people. ,Ha ha!"
"But investigation is not like cultivation, there is no shortcut! Since I want to come over to practice, of course I will warmly welcome you. But there are ugly words ahead. I have never liked others to comment, let alone anyone to point fingers. If my brother keeps his integrity and cooperates well, then you will definitely get a share of the credit, otherwise..."
"In my eyes, there is no cultivation genius!"
After speaking harshly, he almost pointed his finger at Yang Zhen's nose, warning him not to meddle indiscriminately.
Yang Zhen's face suddenly darkened.
He is the kind of person who respects me as much as I respect you. He doesn't want to offend anyone. However, if someone insults him, he will naturally not look good!
"Palace Master Pang, you misunderstood," he looked solemnly, took out a purple-gold token, and said coldly: "I am here this time not as your assistant, but as the general person in charge of this matter. Please also ask Pang The hall master is very cooperative, don’t let anything go wrong.”
"Too, too great!"
He Shouxin exclaimed, looking at the two golden seal characters "Xiling" in the center of the token, the shock in his heart even exceeded the shock brought to him by Yang Zhen's growth in cultivation.
Pang Daishou was even more stunned. After a while, the leader of Jing'an Hall slowly folded his hands and said with a livid face: "I'm humble, I obey my orders!"
…
"Go and have a look at the scene." Yang Zhen put away the token and said calmly.
"Junior Brother Yang," He Shouxin looked at Pang Daishou's face and explained: "There are formations everywhere in the palace. Now due to the fate, most of them are opened and are inconvenient for flying. How about we walk over?"
"That's fine, I'll help you to lead the way." Yang Zhen felt confident and walked toward the palace gate. He and Pang, as well as several monks from Jing'an Hall followed behind.
He Shouxin had personally witnessed Dai Chenghong's favor for Yang Zhen back then. Now that he saw that the other party had the Taishang Ancestor's token in hand, he did not dare to neglect it and secretly made up his mind to make a good friend of the young man in front of him.
So he turned to Pang Daishou and said, "Palace Master Pang, can you introduce me first?"
"Yeah." Although Pang Daishou was dissatisfied, he had lived hundreds of years and was no longer as impulsive as he was when he was young. He suppressed all the thoughts in his heart and spoke expressionlessly:
"This incident occurred late at night on the eighth day of July, seven days ago. The deceased were Emperor Xu Shiyuan and Queen Liu. The location was Kunde Hall, the queen's residence."
"The emperor and the empress live in the same palace together," Yang Zhen said in surprise: "The two of them have a very deep relationship, how deep is their love?"
As far as he knew, the emperor of Xu State lived close to a hundred years old, and the queen lived almost a year. At such an age, it is rare for the two of them to live in the same palace.
Of course, although the royal family of the Xu Kingdom cannot practice cultivation, the sect does not treat them badly with various life-extending elixirs, body-building supplements, etc., and there are often monks to help them regulate their bodies. Therefore, it is not difficult for every emperor of the Xu Kingdom to easily live to be more than a hundred years old.
Therefore, the Yunxiao Sect also made a special rule that after the emperor reaches the age of 101, he must abdicate and become the Supreme Prince, giving up the throne to a young and powerful prince.
In other words, the current Emperor Xu will be enthroned in a few years. Unexpectedly, something like this would happen at this time.
Pang Daishou was scornful in his heart, but he couldn't help answering in terms of face: "The queen is jealous. Emperor Qin is old and no longer has the energy to mess around with women, so in the past few decades, the emperor and empress have gotten along pretty well."
"How did these two people die? Did they die together or separately?" Yang Zhen then asked.
"The two died together in the study next to the inner room. The queen was tortured before her death. The emperor's face looked the same, but after examination, it was found that his heart had been taken away."
"Suffering abuse? Lost heart?" Yang Zhen said in surprise: "There should be many maids and eunuchs in Kunde Palace, right? How are those people? Has anyone heard anything?"
"They are all dead." Pang Daishou showed a hint of sarcasm on his face.
"All dead?" Yang Zhen didn't care about the other person's face and continued: "How many people are there in total? How did they die? Were these people abused before they died? Did they lose their organs?"
This person actually knows nothing about love! Pang Daishou was even more angry and said with a cold face:
"None of the twenty-four palace maids and the eight eunuchs serving outside survived. The cause of death was suffocation. There was no other abuse, and there was no loss of organs."
"If that's the case, who discovered the body first, and when?"
"On the early morning of the next day, the eunuch in the imperial kitchen went to provide breakfast to the emperor and the empress, and then he realized that something serious had happened."
"Master He," Yang Zhen suddenly stopped in her footsteps, turned around and looked at Pang He and the two of them, her face gradually darkened: "As far as I know, there must be a Zifu sent by our Zhenguo Palace in the palace. The elders and four foundation-building disciples are guarding them. Where are these people? What have they been doing!"
