In the cell of Netherworld Palace, the originally cold atmosphere became more solemn due to the poisoning of Zhang and Ge. Tong Bo, who had been giving first aid to Ge Er, suddenly put down his finger on the black air, turned his head and shook his head towards the ghost face. .
"The same goes for Zhang Da." Ghost Face slapped his palm on the wooden pillar of the cell, and the strong force of his palm shook the dust on the top of the cell to fall: "Come here, call all the personnel who were on duty yesterday, and all the generals." The doctor is also invited."
Not long after, three men in imperial uniforms stood next to Ghost Face, bowing and saying, "Sir."
"You three stand aside and wait for orders. We will ask you questions after Dr. Quan performs the autopsy." Ghost Face said sternly.
The ghost's face was speaking seriously, and an old man with white clothes and a white scarf, white hair and a childlike face walked into the door carrying a withered brown wooden box.
The ghost face bowed to the old man with great respect and said, "Doctor Quan, I'm really sorry to invite you over when you are resting."
The old man smiled and held the ghost-faced hands: "Master Gui, why should you be so polite? Since I am a guest of the Tingwei Mansion, I should be of service when such an incident occurs."
Ghost Face grasped the old man's hands and said, "Then everything depends on Dr. Quan."
The old man nodded slightly, then came to Zhang Da's body first, slowly bent down, shook out a roll of gray cloth from the medicine box, gently picked it up with his middle and index fingers, and pierced the corpse's throat with a silver needle. , and then he followed the same method and took out a silver needle and pierced the corpse's Dantian; five breaths later, the old man pulled out the silver needle again, and half of the originally shiny needle body suddenly turned black.
"Come here, you three! You were on duty yesterday, why were these two prisoners poisoned?" Ghost Face pointed at the blackened silver needle and asked sharply.
"You also know that the Netherworld Palace has strict rules. All entry and exit must be inspected by that adult. It is absolutely impossible to poison the inner court." The imperial guard on the far left bowed.
"That's not necessarily the case. The poison in these two people is called Yisha; as the name suggests, it only takes twelve hours from the time of poisoning to death." The old man was leaning in front of Ge Er to check.
"The two of them entered the Nether Palace at 6 o'clock yesterday, and now it is noon. The time of poisoning is between 6 o'clock and noon yesterday; that is to say, the two of them must have been poisoned in this inner court." The man who has been silent has been silent. Tong Bo suddenly said: "Mr. Quan, I wonder how this poison is spread?"
The old man looked at Tong Bo carefully and showed approval: "This poison is in the form of white powder. It can be inhaled through the nose, or put into food or drinking water."
"Meals and drinking water here are checked with silver needles before entering the inner court. How did this poison enter the inner court?" Ghost Face held his chin and asked in confusion.
"How do these three imperial guards allocate their duty hours?" Tong Bo did not directly ask Guimian.
"You three, tell me your names and duty hours." The ghost face on the side ordered.
"Ruan Wanzhong, a humble official, is on duty from Zi Shi to Mao Shi." The imperial guard on the far left bowed.
"I have a humble position, Gongsun Yu. I am on duty from chen to wu." The court guard in the middle bowed.
"Wu Ming, a humble official, is on duty from Shen Shi to Hai Shi." The imperial guard on the far right bowed.
"Brother Gongsun, the time when these two people were poisoned was within your duty hours. Why don't you explain it?" Tong Bo inadvertently approached Gongsun Yu step by step.
"This? Your Excellency, Beizhi was inspected in accordance with court regulations when entering and exiting the Nether Palace, and there was no violation of the rules." Gongsun Yu cried out, "As for how these two people were poisoned, Beizhi really didn't know anything about it."
"Brother Gongsun, if it's really not you who did it, why do you look so panicked? As for how you brought the Yisha into the inner court, it's not difficult." Tong Bo's feet suddenly accelerated, and he flashed to Gongsun Yu's side in an instant. Behind him, his left hand pulled out the iron ruler from his waist like lightning. His right hand gently touched the surface of the iron ruler and opened a hidden compartment: "If my guess is correct, the poisonous powder was brought in hidden here. .”
"Hmph! This iron ruler is like a swordsman's sword to the imperial guards. They would not search this place on weekdays." Ghost Face stared at Gongsun Yu and said angrily: "I didn't expect you to use this to commit crimes. It's really abominable. Extremely. Come here, take this thief to a dark cell and interrogate him strictly. Be sure to find out who is behind the scenes."
"It's unjust, sir! Please listen to my humble explanation. That's not what happened." Following Ghost Face's order, the two imperial guards each dragged Gongsun Yu's arm and walked swiftly towards the dark cell.
"Master Ghost, I admire your friend for his insight." Dr. Quan stood up and looked at Tong Bo with a strange smile.
"Where! If Mr. Quan hadn't discovered the origin of the poison, how could Bo have deduced the murderer?" Tong Bo bowed to the old man.
"The only thing I don't understand is how you can tell that there are hidden patterns on Gongsun Yu's iron ruler?" The ghost looked at Tong Bo with a puzzled face.
"Since entering here, Gongsun Yu's eyes flickered, and his left hand would touch the iron ruler on his waist from time to time, so I concluded that there must be something fishy about his iron ruler; but the eyes of these two brothers had no waves, and their auras Be steady, this is a loyal person." Tong Bo stepped forward and patted Guimian's shoulder twice: "Okay, I've found the details for you, but you must ask the person behind the scenes."
"That's for sure. Ruan Wanzhong, Wu Ming, you two will handle the task of interrogating Gongsun Yu." Ghost Face gave the order smoothly.
"I humbly obey my command." The two of them responded in unison.
The tables and chairs in the Ye Mansion's courtyard were smashed up and down in the fight between several people. Some of the guests were also affected and fell to the ground groaning in pain. Seeing that the engagement banquet was turned into such a mess, Mr. Zhang couldn't help but get angry again. Burning in his chest: "An Dawei! You are so brave, you actually dare to instruct someone to assassinate the master of the hospital; come here, take this person down, dismiss him and investigate."
"Wait a minute! Brother Da Fang is also the chief guard of the Jingwei Mansion personally appointed by the Holy Emperor. Even if you want to be convicted, it's not your turn to lock it up privately." Liu Ningshi's petite body stood in front of An Da Fang without hesitation. In front of you.
"Hmph! Liu Ningshi, you are my young master's woman, and now you dare to go against me for another man?" Young Master Zhang rolled up his sleeves: "An Dafang, if you are a man, don't hide behind women. Come out and let’s have a few tricks.”
"Zhang Ye, if you are shameless, who is your woman?" Liu Ningshi's face turned red with anger: "Brother Da Fang, ignore this lunatic."
"Ning Shi, please get out of the way first." An Dafang pointed with one hand: "I did not instruct this person to assassinate the president of the Division. Since Second Young Master Zhang wants to ask for advice, I am determined to accompany him to the end."
As the second son of the Sinong Mansion, Zhang Ye is always praised by everyone. How often does someone say this to him: "A little guard captain is so arrogant. Take my punch first."
There was nothing fancy about Zhang Ye's punch, not even any extra movements. It was just a straight punch that went straight to An Dafang's heart.
"Brother Da Fang, don't take it hard." Liu Ningshi grabbed An Da Fang's sleeve. She was very aware of the power of Zhang Ye's boxing technique.
"Hmph! I also want to see if your boxing skills are bragging!" An Dafang snorted coldly, clenched his right palm, and white tiger-shaped energy wrapped around his fist.
Just when Zhang Ye was three feet in front of him, An Dafang broke free from Liu Ningshi's sleeve and punched him straight.
At the moment when the two right fists collided in mid-air, the surrounding air seemed to freeze; An Dafang only felt that his fists hit an iron wall, a feeling he had never experienced even when he and Yuan Jin fought. Pass.
"Tch! I thought Tiger Roaring Fist was so powerful, but it was really disappointing when I saw it today." A sneer flashed at the corner of Zhang Ye's mouth: "Go."
As Zhang Ye shouted, An Dafang was lifted into the air by the punch and fell heavily to the ground.
Liu Ningshi hurried over, supported An Dafang, and asked anxiously: "Brother Dafang, are you okay?"
An Dafang covered his chest with his right hand, his eyes glazed over for a moment, then suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out and he fainted.
"Second Young Master Zhang, it's not a good idea to kill people." Murong Li, who was watching the fire from the other side just now, dissuaded him in time.
"Hmph, you're lucky! If Master Murong hadn't begged for mercy today, you would have died without a burial place." Zhang Ye spat at An Dafang: "Come here, bring An Dafang and that rat over there." And take it.”
"Yes!" The two gray-clothed guards brought by the Sinong Mansion came forward to arrest An Dafang. Liu Ningshi "whooshed" and forced them back with two palms: "Si Ruoshui, Chief An is here anyway." You, the chief guard of Xuanwu Academy, why did you ignore me from the beginning to the end?"
"An Dafang assassinated me first, and injured Ye Huwei later. I deserve to be punished." Si Ruoshui was concentrating on healing Ye Hu's injuries at this time, not even looking at Liu Ningshi and An Dafang.
"Liu Ningshi, how dare you attack my guards?" Zhang Ye's eyes flashed fiercely as he stepped forward step by step.
"Stop it all." A decent and majestic voice came over, and a middle-aged official in a wide official robe walked into the courtyard. This person was none other than Lord Zhi in the court.
The moment Liu Ningshi saw the middle-aged official, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Uncle Zhi, you are finally here."
"Master Zhi, why are you here?" When Zhang Ye saw Zhi Shan, he also restrained his temper and did not dare to be too presumptuous.
"If I don't come, I'm afraid someone will die." Zhi Shan pointed at An Dafang coldly: "Is the second young master trying to steal my job?"
"Ouch! Mr. Zhi has really wronged my nephew. You are a popular figure in front of the Holy Master. How dare my nephew do that?" Zhang Ye waved his hands towards the two gray-clothed guards: "Let's go! But we can't do anything about this today. In this way, I will definitely report it to my father and ask Mr. Zhi for an explanation."
"Mr. Murong, I'll take my leave first." Zhang Ye hugged his fists towards Murong Li and walked straight towards the courtyard door. Two guards in gray followed him. The moment he came to the door, he suddenly turned around and stared at him again. An Dafang, who was lying on the ground, said: "I really don't understand how this kind of ant-like waste became the chief of the guard. He was simply thrown into the face of the Jingwei Mansion, hahaha!"
Zhang Ye left in an extremely arrogant manner. Murong Li and other guests saw this and left one after another. The servants of the Ye Mansion invited Dr. Zhang to treat Ye Hu's injuries. The originally bustling hospital suddenly became deserted, leaving only Liu Ning Shi, Zhi Shan and An Da Fang, who was injured and unconscious.
"Uncle Zhi, thank you! If you hadn't arrived in time, Brother Da Fang would have been in real danger today." Liu Ningshi placed her right palm on An Da Fang's Xinshu point, and her light blue inner energy was like soft water. Like repairing his injured heart.
"You don't have to thank me, this is a business matter. You can treat the guard's injuries first, and let him come to the Tingwei Mansion for trial in five days." Zhi Shan waved his sleeves towards the two Tingwei chiefs: "You will bring this assassin with you. Go back for interrogation.”
