Late at night, in the palace.
Emperor Pei stood in front of the main hall, his eyes always fixed on the bright moon in the sky.
Gao Qunshu stood half a body behind Pei Emperor.
There was no trace of respect on his face, but he remained silent and admired the moon with Emperor Pei.
"The matter about the imperial mausoleum...how could it be revealed?" Emperor Pei suddenly asked.
"It was because Zheng Guogong cared about His Royal Highness the Princess and asked someone to investigate that this happened." Gao Qunshu responded softly.
Hearing this, Emperor Pei frowned slightly.
"He comes to find you, and you can't stop him?"
"Even if I stop him, he will go to the imperial mausoleum alone."
Emperor Pei pondered for a moment, and apparently agreed with this statement, and then asked: "Who dares to investigate this matter except Supervisor Tiansi? You are the head of Supervisor Tiansi, but you can't control your subordinates?"
The words were somewhat reproachful.
If he were an ordinary minister, he would have already knelt on the ground and shouted polite words such as "I deserve to die".
But Gao Qunshu curved the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Your Majesty is joking."
Emperor Pei turned around and looked at Gao Qunshu quietly, with a bit of scrutiny in his eyes.
Gao Qunshu was not afraid at all and looked at Emperor Pei.
"Before the incident happened, I had ordered the Jingzhou Prefectural Government not to pursue the matter any longer. Unexpectedly, Zhen Guogong found someone else."
Emperor Pei was silent for a moment and then asked: "Who investigated this matter?"
"There is a chief arrester from Liangzhou named Lin Ji."
"Mind your own business." Pei Di pursed his lips, but that was all he said.
At this moment, a roar suddenly sounded from the deep courtyard of the harem.
The roar was full of energy and was clearly the roar of an evil spirit.
Gao Qunshu and Pei Di turned back together and looked in the direction from which the voice came.
"His Majesty..."
Emperor Pei let out a long sigh of relief.
"My sister... went."
Seeing the sadness on Emperor Pei's face, Gao Qunshu didn't know what to say for a moment.
It is said that the most ruthless emperor's family.
Gao Qunshu watched Emperor Pei grow up, and even his rise to power was partly due to Gao Qunshu.
Although he had long known about the filthiness of the royal family, at this moment, looking at the calm look in Pei Emperor's eyes, even a figure like Gao Qunshu couldn't help but feel emotional.
Fortunately, he is not a member of the royal family.
With this thought in his mind, Gao Qunshu suddenly became a little curious.
"After those two were sent back to the palace, did Your Majesty go to visit them?"
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Pei immediately turned around and looked at Gao Qunshu coldly.
"This is my family matter, you don't have to worry about it."
"I'm just a little curious."
After hearing this, Emperor Pei looked at Gao Qunshu deeply for a moment, then turned back and looked at the bright moon in the sky.
"It's midnight, it's time for Gao Aiqing to get ready."
Gao Qunshu didn't move.
"Your Majesty, don't you want me to talk to you again? There shouldn't be any calm in the city yet."
"Ah."
Pei Di couldn't help but sneer.
"Then just wait."
…
"Roar!!"
A roar broke the silence in the east of the city.
Lin Ji, who had just gone out, paused, turned around and looked back, and found that the sound was not too far away.
"What's going on? There was a bit of monster in the roar just now, it was clearly caused by a monster! But at this time, how can there be a monster in the city?"
Lin Ji found it unbelievable, took a few steps faster, and rushed to the place where the roar came from.
It turned out to be the residence of Wei Shangshu that he had just visited before.
At this time, the door of Wei Mansion was closed tightly, but Lin Ji could faintly hear the screams that kept ringing inside.
It's a monster that's harming people!
Lin Ji didn't dare to delay any longer, so he drew out the Tiangang Sword and prepared to take action.
But at this moment, a dark shadow suddenly pressed Lin Ji's shoulder.
"Who is it?!" Lin Mi turned around suddenly, only to find a masked man behind him.
Wearing black night clothes, a turban on his head, and a veil on his face, only his eyes were exposed.
Lin Ji recognized these eyes.
But the other party's outfit made him afraid to recognize him.
"Who are you?!" Lin Ji asked sharply.
"Liangzhou Chief Lin Ji?" A cold female voice rang.
Lin Ji nodded slightly.
"Your errands are at the government office, so don't worry about other things."
While speaking, the man in black turned his hand, and a Traveling Star Order appeared in front of Lin Ji.
"It turns out that Mr. Yu Xingguan is here, and I'm going to take over as my lord."
Lin Ji bowed and walked quickly towards the government office without any intention of stopping.
After Lin Ji walked away, several similarly dressed people suddenly appeared next to the man in black.
"Lu Youxing, this matter is against the rules, as mentioned above..."
Before the other party could finish speaking, Lu Zhaoer suddenly waved his hand to interrupt.
"That's the chief arrester from Liangzhou, Superintendent of Heaven. He's one of our own, and he wants to kill him too?"
"Can..."
"If you have anything to do, let the general office tell you after tomorrow. Now I just do errands."
"Oh well."
After scolding his colleagues, Lu Zhaoer disappeared again and waited quietly outside the Wei Mansion.
Her spiritual consciousness has already clearly understood the situation in the mansion.
But it was precisely because of this that she felt extremely timid in her heart.
"how so..."
...
At the entrance of the government office.
Lin Ji saw Lei Bao, who had been waiting here for a long time.
When Lei Bao saw Lin Ji appear, he just nodded slightly and did not delve into why he was a moment late.
The two walked side by side and left the city together.
On the way, Lin Ji heard several more screams in the city.
He looked at Lei Bao, but saw that Lei Bao's face was a bit ugly.
"Master Lei..."
"I know what you want to ask, but the higher-ups won't let me take care of it," Lei Bao said first.
Hearing this, Lin Ji's face condensed slightly, and he thought about what he had just experienced.
Before Lu Zhaoer stepped forward to stop him, several auras had already locked onto him. They were secretly spying on him, with a somewhat hostile gaze.
Lin Ji drew his sword at that time, not only to deal with the evil spirits in the Wei Mansion, but also to deal with the people who were spying in secret.
"I just passed by the Wei Mansion. If nothing else happens, the entire Wei Mansion will have been wiped out." Lin Ji said in a low voice.
There was not much surprise on Lei Bao's face.
"Those who have changed in the city are those who had their mother-in-law changed in the past six months."
Lin Ji had already suspected this.
The words spoken by Lei Bao at this time were not beyond his expectations.
"So becoming a mother-in-law is just a cover, but the mastermind behind the scenes actually has other tricks?"
"That should be the case." Lei Bao nodded and looked at Lin Ji.
Lin Ji also looked at Lei Bao.
Both of them saw the fear in the other's eyes.
No one is a fool, they all think of something deeper, they just don't dare to express it.
If it is really just the backhand of the people behind the scenes, why don't they ignore so many Yuxing officers and slaying officers in the city who have been recalled from various places?
Youxingguan is in the fifth level, not to mention the fourth level.
The fourth rank of the beheading officer, less the fifth rank.
Can a mere evil spirit be worth the might of the capital city?
How did they enter the capital? At the head of the dragon vein, the dragon energy gathers, at the feet of the emperor.
How did they appear in such a strict environment?
At this moment, Lin Ji suddenly had a thought in his mind.
Could it be that he was using a borrowed knife to kill someone?
