Li Woyun: "Master Fu uses the five elements to determine the direction of the murderer's next attack?"
Fu Zhu: "Exactly, the city of Xijing, with Zhuque Street as its central axis, is of earth nature; the west of the city is gold, the north is water, the east is wood, and the south is fire; gold produces water, water produces wood, and wood produces fire. According to the east-west direction, Due to the contrasting attributes of the north and the south, we only need to set up an ambush in the south of the city in advance to capture the real culprit in one fell swoop."
Yan Xiu: "How can Mr. Fu determine that the murderer will continue to commit murders in the city? If he stops here, it will be all in vain."
Fu Zhu has been dealing with all kinds of unsolved and mysterious cases all year round, and he understands the bestiality of these evil people very well. He said clearly:
"The murderer's tactics are sophisticated, extraordinary, cruel, and extremely organized. In addition, the rumors of a demon in Xijing confuse the public. He will only take this opportunity to confuse the truth with the truth and continue to kill people in an intensified manner."
Yan Xiu: "Well, the serial murder case in Beijing will be dealt with first, so that the people of Xijing can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind. There are currently forbidden troops in the palace to strengthen the protection. I guess the murderer will not act rashly. What is the progress of the Yi Mansion case?"
Fu Zhu shook his head: "Dali Temple doesn't have any clues yet. There are currently five deceased people. They all died in the same way, but there are at least three different real culprits. Miss Yi's horoscope attributes and the location of Yi Mansion are completely related to Lianlian If the murder case cannot be traced, it may take more time."
Yan Xiu: "It must be found out years ago, otherwise the court will be unrest."
Fu Zhu took Xu Zixiao and resigned.
Yan Xiu and Li Woyun continued to read the memorial, while Bai Heng hurried into the palace to report:
"Your Majesty, the Qi family was assassinated at Yuxu Pavilion, fifty miles away from Xijing, and no one survived."
Li Woyun was shocked: "What about General Yuan?"
Bai Heng: "General Yuan was fortunately saved by Li Guanzhu. He is now out of danger. He is being secretly protected by his subordinates and is changing his way back to the city."
Yuxu Pavilion is at the foot of Nanhua Mountain, not far from Li Xunfeng. It is not surprising that Yuan Haoyu was rescued by him.
Treating royal family members of defeated countries with courtesy and even respect has been the default rule of all dynasties.
There are countless changes of ownership and dynasties in the country, but the monarchs of all dynasties knew the rules of not eradicating the roots of the grass and not killing them all. Otherwise, it would be cruel and unkind, unreasonable, and even anger the gods and bring about divine punishment for their dynasty, which is even more serious. There is also the disaster of annihilation.
Even though Yan Xiu himself often claimed that he was the destiny of heaven and he only believed that man could conquer heaven, he did not dare to easily test the bottom line of historians and the world regarding this rule, so he named the old king of the former Zhou Dynasty the Duke of Qin.
Anyone who breaks this rule will be condemned by Confucian scholars all over the world and become a tyrant who will live in infamy for generations. Even more people will be ready to take action in the name of restoring the country and taking revenge——
Anyone who plots rebellion most needs a well-known reason in order to win the hearts and minds of the people.
Several people in the hall did not dare to say anything and waited quietly for Yan Xiu to speak.
In this situation, in the past, Yan Xiu would have been so angry that he would have thrown whatever he had on his hands.
But apart from his slightly heavier breathing, he even acted calmer than usual. After a long time, he asked Bai Heng in a hoarse voice:
"But there are other things to report."
The atmosphere in the hall was extremely cold. Bai Heng even felt that it was even colder than when the blizzard came last year. He breathed hard and calmly said:
"One more thing is that Prince Xiang and Miss Zhu were also assassinated on their way back to Beijing. Unfortunately, Prince Xiang was seriously injured and is still in a coma. Yanxuelou has learned from the assassin's mouth that he sent someone to assassinate them. , it’s Taifu Yu.”
This group of assassins were obviously targeting Zhu Ya. She was making suggestions for Yan Xiu and taking a piece of the gentry Confucianism pie. If they wanted to prevent Yan Xiu from establishing a new Taixue, the best way to attack her was to attack her sideways.
As a minister of the old tradition and an imperial master of the generation, Taifu Yu had the courage to do such a thing. It was only normal.
Yan Xiu closed his eyes: "It's a troubled time, you go out first."
He needed more than just calm down right now.
When Li Woyun and Bai Heng left the palace, Bai Heng realized that his entire back was soaked with cold sweat, and the autumn wind blew cold into his internal organs.
"Your Majesty's temper has calmed down a lot now." Li Woyun looked up at the sky, which was cloudless and the sun was high. "It's a pity that Zhu Zhaoyi himself is troubled by rumors and has no time to worry about His Majesty."
Bai Heng: "Your Majesty's steps are too big all of a sudden, and the subordinates are always worried -"
He stopped in time for the next words.
Li Woyun: "What are you worried about? In my opinion, Your Majesty will make great achievements and attract countless descendants to worship him."
…
Zhu Sijia, who was caught up in the controversy, showed up at the Tai Chi Palace like a normal person.
The palace people she met along the way were a little afraid of her. Although they still saluted her respectfully, the fear in their eyes could not escape.
Zhu Sijia herself doesn't care, she doesn't really eat people.
Zhu Ya ordered someone to send a letter back to the palace first. The letter said that she and Yan Wei were assassinated. Fortunately, she was safe, but Yan Wei was seriously injured.
She said in the letter that Yan Wei was half dead now, hanging on with only one breath left, and he would probably be two days late before returning to Xijing.
Yan Xiu must have known about such a major event. Although Zhu Sijia didn't like King Xiang, Yan Wei was his younger brother after all, and she understood better than anyone how her brother felt when he was assassinated.
Therefore, she came to Tai Chi Palace with the purpose of taking care of Yan Xiu.
Yan Xiu likes to lean on her lap and let her massage her. She doesn't even need to do anything. As soon as she appears, Yan Xiu's mood will quickly improve.
He had no qualms about telling Zhu Sijia about all the major events that had happened recently.
"What worries me the most is you." Yan Xiu opened his eyes and looked at her, "Cicada, people outside say you are a monster. If you are sad, you must come to me. Don't do anything stupid. Do you understand?"
Zhu Sijia: "Why is Your Majesty worried that your concubine will do something stupid?"
Yan Xiu: "When you and I quarreled in the past, you always looked down on yourself and belittled yourself. How could you, a little girl, handle such a big thing so easily?"
Zhu Sijia smiled calmly and said: "Your majesty, don't worry, I cherish my life the most. No one who does stupid things will have my turn to do stupid things. So if I really are a monster, what should your majesty do?"
She said this sincerely. With Yan Xing as a hidden danger, sooner or later, her rebirth would be exposed. How would Yan Xiu view her then?
Yan Xiu answered her categorically: "You are a monster and I will pamper you. Maybe if I bite you twice, I can live forever."
What he said was definitely not a joke. So what if Zhu Sijia was a demon?
She is so kind, even if she is a demon, she can only harm people. If she wants to maintain her beauty by eating the heart of a young woman, why didn't she kill someone a year ago?
Do you have to wait until she is one step away from that position to get angry?
Yan Xiu didn't even need to think about it, he knew that someone was deliberately trying to harm her, and the means were not bad.
His answer shocked Zhu Sijia.
Yan Xiu not only didn't care about the outside world's voice to him, but also didn't care about the outside world's voice to Zhu Sijia.
Zhu Sijia's eyes were wet, she lowered her head, kissed his flawless forehead and choked with sobs: "Thank you for believing."
