"But Zhang Zhenren, there are many small creatures in the world, why does the real person think that it must be a monkey?" Yun asked again.

"Your Majesty, man is the chief of all things in the world, but among other creatures, the first is the monkey. Monkeys are close to humans, intelligent, can imitate many human movements, are easy to teach, and have no shortcomings except that they cannot speak. Zhang Sanfeng said.

Speaking of this, Zhang Sanfeng picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and saw that Yun did not have any doubts about this, and continued to explain: "Your Majesty, the poor Dao guesses that the person who casts the spell uses this kind of little monkey for two purposes. ”

"First, the mage smears poison on his minions, and if a person is bitten or caught, he is poisoned; Most of such mages are smeared with poisons that seal their throats with blood, and unless they happen to have someone who knows how to detoxify and carry the antidote with them, they will almost certainly die. ”

"This monkey is very small, and usually uses its claws to break through the window paper to sneak into the house, and can kill people in their sleep, and it is difficult for others to find out."

"But my windows are inlaid with glass. At this time, the capital was fine, and most of the people had seen glass windows; However, because it is not easy to operate large pieces of glass in other places, most of them only have small glass mirrors dyed with mercury. Unbeknownst to the caster, the courtyard where I was located had glass windows, and I narrowly escaped. Yun said with some rejoicing.

"This is Your Majesty's blessing to the sky, with the protection of heaven." Zhang Sanfeng patted the horse, and then said: "But I don't know if the person who casts the spell is cautious or what, this fourth step has other purposes. ”

"Even if this monkey fails to harm His Majesty, it can still give His Majesty a hint and make His Majesty think that he has fallen under a spell. If Poor Dao expected it to be good, that night His Majesty also heard the sound of bats pounced and the sound of the little monkey scratching the glass window with his claws, and the fact that Concubine Hui was unconscious before was enough to make His Majesty fall under a spell. ”

"The purpose of this man who cursed me has indeed been achieved, and I have really fallen under the curse. If it weren't for Zhang Zhenren who happened to be in Guangzhou, I would probably ......," Yun said.

Speaking of which, the process of Yunzhong's spell is already clear: first, the person who cast the spell gave Yun a spell with his heart, but because Yun didn't believe much in the heart, he only had nightmares, had no energy, and was weak; So the person who placed the spell immediately used another means to cast a spell on Xiyi, so that Yun believed in spells such as the Heart Descending Technique; Then the person who casts the spell performs the third and fourth steps to let the curse be accepted.

However, Yun still has some confusion. "But how did the spellcaster know that I wasn't asleep after he first cast the spell? And how is the serum applied to the window frame? What puzzled me the most, how did the man know which room I lived in? ”

Yun's three questions go straight to the heart of the matter, especially the last one: Yun changed the room on the second night after the sound of bats flying against the window frame and monkey minions scratching the glass on the first night, but there were no stains outside the window after the change, but there were stains that night!

Zhang Sanfeng did not speak. The direction of the matter was obvious, but he didn't dare to say it.

He just said again: "Your Majesty, the serum may have been smeared by the little monkey, as long as it can find the house where His Majesty is, and the mage who took it has prepared for it beforehand; This little monkey has a very smart nose, and if you know Your Majesty's scent, you can follow the smell to find Your Majesty. ”

"But how does this monkey know about my scent?" Yun said again.

The room fell silent again.

Or Yun himself broke the silence. "Zhang Zhenren, since you have revealed the true body of this 'little ghost', can you catch this monkey?"

"Your Majesty, if that monkey comes to the palace again, he can catch it; If the person who casts the spell no longer sends out the little monkeys, there is nothing that can be done about it. Zhang Sanfeng said.

"Then please ask Zhang Zhenren to arrange a means to catch that little monkey around the house where I live." Yun said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Sanfeng agreed.

"In addition, I have something to ask Zhang Zhenren to do. Zhang Zhenren should have known about the Caisheng Cutting Case. In my opinion, the case of harvesting and cutting is inseparable from the matter of casting a curse on me. ”

"Your Majesty's expectation is good, most of the things that are harvested and cut are to search for all the 'items' for casting spells."

"In this case, I hope that Zhang Zhenren will help the police in Guangzhou solve the Caisheng torture case and catch the culprit behind the scenes. What's more, the people are very angry about the matter of harvesting and cutting, and I will also solve this case and explain it to all the people in the world. ”

"Your Majesty, the poor way respects the holy decree. The matter of harvesting and mutilation is extremely cruel, not only mutilating people's bodies, but also leaving their souls without resting. Zhang Sanfeng said.

Yun said a few words to him again, because it was late today, so he stayed in the palace for one night, and tomorrow he went to help solve the Caisheng cutting case, Zhang Sanfeng bowed and retreated.

After he retreated, Yun immediately called Li Sha'er, Wang Xi and Song Liang in, and briefly told them about his subjugation, focusing on a few of his doubts.

"Your Majesty, this must be a ghost in the palace." Wang Xi immediately said: "When I found the stain on the windowsill, the slave thought that there might be a ghost. Sure enough, there really are ghosts. ”

"Listen to Your Majesty, smearing blood and serum on the window frame may have been done by that little monkey; What the inner ghost did should have taken out an item that His Majesty had used. Li Sha'er said.

"But the people who can get the items used by His Majesty have all come with His Majesty from the capital. His Majesty's study in the outer courtyard was cleaned by the eunuchs in the palace, the clothes changed were cleaned by the palace maids, and even the dishes that His Majesty ate were cleaned by the handymen who brought them over, and there was no room for the locals to interfere at all. Wang Xi said again.

At this point, everyone can only come to a terrifying conclusion: that is, there are inner ghosts among those who follow them from the capital!

However, all the subordinates and guards who followed Yun to Guangzhou were carefully selected, and there should be no internal ghosts. Anyway, Li Sha'er and the others present all thought that if there was really an internal ghost, it could not be the person they brought.

Could it be done by a local serving in the outer court? In the days when Concubine Hui was evil, there were many people in and out of the inner courtyard, and the ministers may not be able to take care of them. Song Liang said.

"It's possible." Yun pondered for a while and then ordered: "No matter what, you must not only investigate whether the local people serving in the outer courtyard have internal ghosts, but also quietly visit whether the people under your command have internal ghosts. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Several of them agreed in unison.
