Pushing open the gate of Yihuan Courtyard, there was a deathly silence inside.

The prosperous and lively scene of the past is gone, and I can no longer feel the breath of any living people.

A few people didn't go in, waiting for Gong Ming and Mi Xiao to close their eyes and feel carefully.

After a while, Mi Xiao opened her eyes and said, "All of them are dead, dead in their own beds, Lin Sheng has never been to the North Palace, I haven't met with her, I don't know which one is her." ”

Gong Ming opened his eyes and said bitterly: "Xiao An is right, the assassin finished killing people, rearranged the scene, erased all traces of the fight, and then committed suicide. I found Lin Sheng's body, and the door of the secret room was not closed, and she died in the secret room. Sure enough, there are people from the Zhong Hall involved, but the rearranged death scene, replaced by someone else, will definitely make random speculation, so as to achieve the role of wrong judgment. ”

"Don't go to the secret room for the time being, Xiao Jiu, Xiao Xiao, Xiao An, Xingling, Wang Heng, Nei Shiyan, you go to each room separately to investigate, carefully examine the corpses on the bed, and judge how my subordinates died."

Several people split up and walked to one room after another, inspecting inside.

Gong Ming turned his head and said, "King Qiyu, the one hundred and fifty-nine people in Yihuan Courtyard are all dead. Among them, one hundred and fifty-eight people in the North Palace died on the beds in different rooms, and Lin Sheng in the Yiling Hall died in the secret room. It was preliminarily determined that the Assassins did not know the people of Beigong, and even their own bedrooms were mistaken, indicating that the Assassins were not just one, and that multiple Assassins should have joined forces to kill all the people here. ”

"For the time being, all I can say is that the Assassins have all died in the Chamber of Secrets, one Assassin is in the Hall of Secrets, and several other Assassins must have died in some of the Dark Rooms. How exactly he died, we won't know until I go to the secret room. Therefore, before the investigation is completed, the king cannot be allowed to enter, so as not to destroy the traces left at the scene. ”

"No matter how the Assassins recreate the scene, the traces of the murder cannot be erased completely, and there will always be flaws. Wang Heng, Yi An and the other six people are all smart people, and one person may not be able to find anything, but if they join forces to check, as long as there is a little clue left, they will definitely be able to find it. ”

Ying Zhengyan said: "Continue to investigate, no one is allowed to step into the gate of Yihuan Courtyard without the order of this king, not even me, so as not to affect your investigation work." ”

At the same time, he sighed: "Gong Ming, the deceased is gone, you can't be too sad now, you must find out the murderer behind the scenes, so that you can comfort those Beigong brothers who died in vain." Tonight, this king will light the sleeping lamp with you, and Chenxi and I will stay in Yihuan Courtyard and return to the Qin Palace tomorrow. ”

turned around and instructed Min Dai: "Xiao Min, you go back first, close the palace gate for me, and the palace personnel are not allowed to move, and all the people in the Zhong Hall and Huayang Palace will be grounded." Whoever dares not listen to you will be killed directly. ”

Toshiyo bowed and said, "Wow." ”

Min Dai left directly with his men and returned to the Qin Palace. In fact, she had long wanted to leave, and sent her subordinates to the palace to give orders, with Liji's character, it is estimated that she will not be able to do this. Gong Ming and others also said just now, there are people from the Zhong Hall involved in this matter, and if the people in the palace move around at will, God knows how much trouble there will be.

Lin Ye frowned, there were really people from the Zhong Hall involved, who could it be? Looking at the unusually ugly expression on Zhongli's face, Lin Ye walked to Ying Zheng's side, knelt on the ground and said, "Big brother, I didn't take care of this family, and in my absence, such a disaster occurred, and I can't escape the blame, please punish me." ”

Zhongli said coldly: "What's the use of blaming you? In fact, I should have thought a long time ago that during this period of time, in order to make the Zhong Hall stronger, you are so focused on the control of each palace that you will inevitably neglect the monitoring of insiders. Day and night defense, house thieves are the most difficult to prevent, losing Lin Sheng, you are equivalent to losing a pair of eyes. If there is no communication with Lin Sheng, you don't dare to leave Xianyang at all, and the only people who can know your relationship with Lin Sheng are our family. ”

Ying Zheng helped Lin Ye up, took her hand, and comforted: "It's not your fault, I also know in my heart that there are many heirs, and it is difficult for people who have lived in the palace for a long time not to fight." But no matter how much you fight, you shouldn't fight to Yihuan Courtyard, this place, but it was created by the Empress Dowager Xuan back then. The kings of Qin in the past dynasties did not dare to fight the idea here, and some people actually committed such a disaster, and they must give an explanation to all parties. ”

"So in this matter, in order to avoid suspicion, neither you nor Zhongli can participate in the investigation, let Gong Ming and them handle all the things. I just want to know who is so bold as to play tricks right under our noses. Don't think that if you are favored, I won't dare to punish you, all those who hinder the great cause of the Qin State are against me. ”

Zhongli wondered, "Is it just punishment?" Why not kill? ”

Ying Zheng was speechless, Lin Ye didn't dare to say much, Chenxi smiled bitterly: "It's not our husband yet, it's too affectionate, so I can't help killing my beloved." Even if it was really done by a certain concubine, he would not kill it, but a serious punishment must be done, otherwise he would not be able to explain it to all parties. ”

At the same time, he also sighed: "Even if it is my Beigong people who die, and it is several queen mothers who die, with his character, he still won't kill him." This is also the reason why I am willing to enter the palace, if I can't get his favor, what will I use to excuse my brother in the future? The people of my Beigong have made a lot of mistakes before, and if they don't come again, Lin Ye, Ying Ai, or Yi'an will destroy Beigong sooner or later. Sister Lin Ye, what my sister said is right. ”

Lin Ye smiled bitterly: "Sister Chenxi, what you said is very right, the North Palace of Zhongnan Mountain has been separated from the Qin Palace for too long, and it is a big force in the rivers and lakes. Before the reunification of the eldest brother, Beigong must be returned, otherwise after the reunification, the first knife that hits the forces of the world will definitely fall on Beigong's head. ”

Chenxi said: "That's right, chivalry is forbidden by force, and a unified regime must definitely confiscate the civil force. Wang Heng saw this, so he desperately squeezed in and became the deputy catcher of the fast catcher, he may have had this idea before the sword, otherwise with Gai Nie's character, how could he be willing to be born early? Pity my sister who is in a quiet family, in Gai Nie's eyes, the most important thing is Guigu, maybe this Gai Nie is the reason why she likes it. ”

Ying Zheng said with emotion: "Guigu, Leng Yue, Mo Family, and Beigong have all come to me, and I can kill less people in the future." If I am still out of the world, when the day comes, in the face of the general trend, I can't help it at all. The Central Plains is unified, and the civil forces must also unite in order to fight with the Xiongnu. In the battle with the Huns, soldier against soldier, general against general, there is no rule that the peak and the best strong cannot shoot, and everyone even has a saint-level powerhouse, but we don't, and we have lost a lot. ”

Chenxi sighed: "Yes, we are already one step behind, and at this juncture, we still have to fight among ourselves." Lin Sheng's role was the top five peak powerhouses, but someone still assassinated her. Without this microphone, which of my original voice transmission skills can spread so widely? The news is not smooth, even if the flying eagle transmits the message quickly, it will take three hours to send the message from the Saiwai grassland to Xianyang. Then send troops to support, it will take at least a day, and it is estimated that the city will be broken. ”

Several people unconsciously thought of this possibility, if Lin Sheng was still there, he could instantly communicate with the spies of the side plug, and no one could compare to the effect achieved. No matter who dies, Lin Sheng should not be killed, because it is not good for anyone, but Lin Sheng died like this, which is also the most painful thing for them.

So no matter how you speculate, you can't guess who the ultimate beneficiary is. Lin Sheng's death may have benefited the Xiongnu the most. This is also the point that everyone is most worried about, if you want to kill Lin Sheng, there must be insiders who collude with outsiders, and someone in the Zhong Hall is involved.

With such a big hidden danger around him, how dare Yingzheng let Zhong Dian's people participate in the investigation, which is also the reason why Zhongli is the most angry. After all, Yihuan Courtyard is in Xianyang, and the Zhong Hall controlled by Lin Ye, any wind and grass in Xianyang City cannot be hidden from the eyes of the Zhong Palace.

But Lin Sheng died like this, and he didn't get any warning before that, even if there was no Zhong Dian's involvement, Zhong Dian couldn't get out of it.

Lin Yeyan said: "Big brother, Lin Sheng's death, the most heart-wrenching may be Xiao Ai. In fact, Xiao Ai didn't know that Lin Sheng was from Lengyue and had the deepest relationship with me, and many of her plans needed to be interrogated through Lin Sheng. Lin Sheng's death, many of Xiao Ai's plans can no longer be carried out, if Yi'an does not stand up, she is seriously injured, and it will be difficult for her to have the courage to stand up one day. After returning to the palace, the eldest brother wants to comfort her, no matter how much she fights in the palace, it is nothing more than hoping to get more favor, and she doesn't dare to come nonsense. ”

Ying Zheng said: "But she has something to hide from me, and she is even lying to me." Forget it, after all, she is still a child, whether she is grounded, at least she can take care of her injuries, and strive to break through to the saint-level realm in a few years, which is the biggest help for me. As for the rest, leave it to Ian, lest she fight against you again. ”

The women looked at each other, Ying Ai was able to break through to the saint-level realm, and the weight in Ying Zheng's heart was still so heavy, it was indeed beyond their thoughts. There must be a secret in it, but Ying Zheng didn't say it, and they tacitly didn't ask much.

The Yiling Hall knows a lot more secrets, not to mention that there is a secret passage to the private treasury, maybe there is something to compare with the heavenly treasures such as longevity wine, after Ying Ai eats it, he can jump around again.

Chenxi and Lin Ye glanced at each other, and both had the same idea, Ying Ai, who had lost power, still couldn't be underestimated. Now there is one more Yi'an, and in terms of power and tactics, Yi'an is higher than them. With this help, Ying Ai can completely spend her mind on training, and Ying Ai's foundation is only the Yiling Palace.

There were originally few people in the Yiling Palace, and the death of Lin Sheng hit Ying Ai the hardest. Without these eyes, any orders from the Yiling Palace would be executed very slowly, and she didn't have as many people as the Zhong Hall and Huayang Palace. If you want to get out the dumb kitchen tracking, shallow centering scheduling, and Lin Sheng's central transmission to Ying Ai, it will be impossible, and even the dumb chef, shallow and others can't leave Xianyang too far, and it is estimated that even the tomb and others will have to be transferred back, so as not to make meaningless sacrifices, because the Yiling Hall can't afford to lose at all.

When Wang Heng, Xingling, Yi An and the others returned to the hall to report the results of the investigation to Gong Ming, everyone outside the door pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

Gong Ming said: "Let's talk about everyone's investigation results, and then I will unify the conclusions." ”

The six people reported one by one, and the results they said were actually different, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
