Someone next to him took a bite of food and said while eating: "Isn't that right? Tell me how many people have been lost in our city over the years. They all live and die without being seen. Jingzhao Mansion has arrested them. Many flower photographers have not found the whereabouts of these people, but this is great, they were all dug out at once."
When talking about digging out the missing person, a tall and thin diner frowned and said: "Don't mention this, I can't eat when I mention it." Seeing everyone looking at him in confusion, he took the bamboo The chopsticks knocked on the dishes: "Have you forgotten where those corpses were dug out? What are they growing in the fields?"
"...Ugh, vomit."
The wine shop suddenly resounded with the sound of vomiting one after another.
Not vomiting after drinking too much, but nauseating retching.
Some diners covered their hearts and waved their hands repeatedly: "Stop talking, stop talking, it's so disgusting."
Some diners were very frightened: "I heard that the food in the fields is all fine grains. Fortunately, my family is poor and cannot afford such expensive fine grains. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to vomit it now."
As soon as he said this, the diners in the restaurant immediately felt relieved.
Yes, these days, ordinary people, who can afford to eat fine grains every day? They don’t only eat one meal during the holidays, but they have to buy the cheapest kind.
I heard that in the fields where the corpses were dug up, because fine grains grew the best, the price had always been extremely high, and only the rich in the city could afford it.
Ordinary people like me are not even qualified to feel sick to the point of vomiting.
The diners who had calmed down began to talk passionately about the secrets behind the case again. In such a big excitement, if you know less about it than others, it would definitely be a loss of face.
The tall and lanky diner also regained his composure, took a sip of wine and said, "But don't talk about it yet, the Department of Internal Health has done a good thing now, and the people in this city are all praising it."
One of the diners who spoke before buzzed: "Everyone praises it, but that's not necessarily true."
After vomiting for a few times, but nothing came out, one of the diners' voice became a little hoarse, and he said in a rustling voice: "Yes, those cheats didn't get to do much of anything, and they used the same curse words, and they all made a fool of themselves. I don’t know if the envoy will be so angry that he faints on the spot.”
Hearing this, Cheng Chaoyan paused her hand. Her job in this wine shop is to monitor public opinion. She smiled: "Oh, what are they scolding? They can actually make people faint."
"Hey," the diner just now smiled and shook his head: "It's simply insulting to politeness. It's okay not to say it, but looking at it this year, there are quite a few of these spring officials who are blind and evil."
"Isn't it? The Department of Internal Health has done such a good thing that pleases people, and they are still talking nonsense. I am not afraid that one day the Department of Internal Health will be converted by them and give them a bloodbath." There are even more diners. It's not too big of a deal to watch the excitement, so he chuckled twice.
Cheng Chaoyan's lips twitched when he heard this. These internal guards were officials of the imperial court, not gangsters who robbed homes and houses. It was reasonable to act on the news, okay?
After saying this, a diner with a slightly bald head suddenly said mysteriously: "Hey, hey, do you know that Song Ying, who was so unlucky this time, also implicated the virtuous concubine in the palace. I heard that because of Well, the marriage between Prince Jian and Princess Danzhu has been put on hold for the time being."
Everyone's faces suddenly brightened
Colorful.
It stands to reason that it is right for Princess Heqin to marry an unfavored prince, but Princess Danzhu is not an ordinary Princess Heqin. Marrying a prince who is about to be in bad luck at this time is not to fight against the Tubo people. Face?
That generation had to think about it. The Tibetan mission was still in the capital, and the Dajing royal family had humiliated Princess Danzhu like this. After the mission left, would the princess still be alive?
Obviously killing someone is impossible, but poisoning, assassination, and other tricks can't kill someone.
Thinking about it this way, I'm afraid Princess Danzhu will never marry Prince Jian again. As for which prince will marry her later, anyway, the saint has many sons, so it doesn't matter whoever marries her.
The trend among the people is changing day by day. Unexpectedly, people are saying good things about the Department of Internal Security. Han Changmu, the newly appointed envoy of the Department of Internal Security, has also become a straight person in the eyes of the people. This is the 200th year of the Great Jing Dynasty. This is my first time.
In the past, when people mentioned the Department of Internal Health, who wouldn't call it a hawk?
The sky has completely darkened, and it is the time for evening meals, but the Department of Internal Health is very busy. If they are not extremely hungry, no one will think of eating.
The evening breeze was mixed with a faint smell of blood, swirling low and faintly around. Such a wind would be disgusting outside, but in the Department of Internal Health, it was particularly suitable for the occasion.
Continuous screams came from the torture chamber, making the hearts of those who listened tremble.
Han Changmu walked out of the prison with his hands behind his back. His face showed no signs of exhaustion after staying up for several nights, and his eyes were actually shining brightly.
These days, he has heard more or less words of praise from the outside world, and his originally depressed mood due to betrayal has also improved a bit.
He changed out of his official uniform that was soaked in blood, carried hot water into the hut, washed away the smell of blood all over his body, and relaxed his tense mind over the past few days.
This case has come to an end, but there are still many unanswered questions that need to be slowly unraveled.
Intuitively, he felt that these two cases were related to Xie Liang, the former young master of the Four Saints Sect, but there was no real evidence.
As soon as the case came out, he arranged for the internal guards to go to the relevant places to pick up the people according to the secret book he got on Zhoujialou's boat. However, when he went there, he discovered that those places were still noisy on the first day, but there were already people there the next day. The building was empty.
Based on Zheng Bin's confession, he found the person who delivered the payment news, but after checking each link, he found out where the news was finally delivered, but nothing happened.
What's even more strange is that when they raided Prince An's Mansion, they didn't catch the pregnant Princess Rong, nor the mysterious maid who looked like Fu Xiang.
These two people disappeared out of thin air as if they had never appeared before.
He thought that the conclusion of these two cases might just be the beginning of another case.
After changing his clothes and combing his hair, he returned to his room refreshed, opened a secret compartment under the desk, and took out an inconspicuous and narrow brocade box.
If Yao Yao were here, he would definitely be surprised to find that this is the brocade box she sent to the palace?
Han Changmu reached out and rubbed the box twice, then opened it gently. Inside were two items that he was particularly familiar with.
Lying quietly in the brocade box is a hosta shaped like undulating mountains. Next to the hosta is a carefully drawn map.
this
Two things, and there is an identical copy in his study.
He touched the hosta and sneered. Little did he know that this thing was actually a key.
He didn't even know that Yao Yao actually forged a key and a map, took out the secrets from his study, and sent them to the palace.
He touched these two things, narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly laughed.
He felt that with Yao Yao's ability, he could make two copies of one key. Maybe the ones in his study and the ones sent to the palace to be presented to the saint were both fake. The real ones had already been stolen. She took it for herself.
He has always felt that Yao Yao is very different from ordinary women. She is rebellious and doesn't care about the dignity of the world. She always has some shocking ideas and does things that deceive the emperor and ignore others. The real key is her doing. Got it.
Hearing footsteps coming from outside, he gently closed the brocade box and put it back into the secret compartment.
After doing all this, the door was pushed open. He raised his head and asked the visitor: "How is it? Has there been any results with Yao Canjun and Sun Ying?"
The person who came was none other than He Zhenfu. When he saw Yao Yao, he was really surprised. He thought that Han Changmu had broken up with Yao Yao, and it was absolutely impossible for the two of them to work together or interact with each other again.
But whoever wanted to slap him in the face was caught off guard like this.
He put away his thoughts and said in a deep voice: "Sun Wuzuo has experienced nearly 40% of the corpse. Yao Shenjun also found out the corresponding place where the crime occurred based on the characteristics of the corpse. He has sent people to check most of them. A small number of them are checking it out."
As he spoke, he took out a map of Chang'an City. The map was dotted with dots, with more red dots than green dots.
He pointed at the red traces and said: "Those marked in red are the places where the crime has been confirmed. From these places, the things needed to practice witchcraft have been dug out. The remaining green The internal guards are already checking the marked place, and there should be news coming back tonight."
Han Changmu nodded happily. With these things, he would be able to determine where the formation's eye was. Perhaps he could also follow the clues and find evidence that these shocking cases were related to Xie Liang.
Even though he resented Yao Yao's abandonment and betrayal, he had to admit that she was indeed a very good helper. She was meticulous and had a sharp eye, and could always find some details that were difficult for others to notice.
If it weren't for the fact that her heart was not in the Department of Internal Health, he would really want to keep her by his side.
Thinking of this, he raised his head and asked, "Where is Bao Cheng?"
He Zhenfu did not expect Bao Cheng. He thought that he had suffered a profound shock in the execution room that night. This man probably would never want to have anything to do with the Department of Internal Security in his life.
Who thought this slap in the face would hurt so much?
He coughed lightly and said: "Master Bao is still deducing the location of the formation eye based on these locations that have been found." He tapped on the map a few times: "Here, here, and here, These are places where the formation eyes may exist as deduced by Mr. Bao, but because there are still some things missing, he is still waiting for verification of other places where witchcraft is practiced."
Han Changmu breathed a long sigh of relief, and suddenly something moved in his heart. Yao Yao was loyal to the saint wholeheartedly, but Bao Cheng was not. He could confirm that there was an ulterior secret between Yao Yao and Bao Cheng. Take it. Bao Cheng can probably capture Yao Yao.
