Yi's decree has been issued, Gong Ming and the others no longer have any worries, and are ready to enter the next step of the investigation.

At this time, Yi An said: "Brother Gong Ming, I am about to enter the secret room to check, but because my strength is not enough, I may have missed the process of investigating the case." So I applied for one person to join the fast hunting camp and become my subordinate fast catcher, I don't know if you can agree. ”

Gong Ming asked, "Who did you choose?" ”

Yi An replied: "It is a sister of my Yiling Palace, and she just sent me a message and asked me to do my best to facilitate this matter. There is nothing wrong with her background, she has listened to me alone since she was a child, and she is very loyal to the king, and she has long been served. ”

Gong Ming nodded and said, "Since it is the king's pillow person and the person from the Yiling Palace, there is no problem at all." Did you pick Anjou, or cloves? ”

Ann shook his head and said, "It's neither Anjou nor Lilac, it's another person." Her name is Yuanbao, and she is one of the palace guards of the Yiling Palace, the pinnacle of the best powerhouse, and she will follow me in the future, in addition to helping me, and protecting me by the way. The family said that Qianzi has always been Xuefanlou and others, and it is not appropriate to stay by my side for a long time. ”

Lin Ye, Gong Ming, Chenxi, Zhongli and the others were about to pop out when they heard this, and the hidden characters in the Yiling Hall were really about to appear. Not to mention that the strength is so strong, even the things of the servant have been done, how much do Yi'an and Yingzheng still hide from them.

Zhongli stared at Ying Zheng and looked at it, which woman was sleeping in the bed, even if she was not allowed to listen to the wind in the corner, at least she would know who the person who was sleeping was in the bed. Unexpectedly, there was a person who was sleeping in the bed, and there was something Zhongli didn't know, this was definitely the first thing Zhongli had encountered since he met Yingzheng.

This can only show one problem, the woman named Yuanbao is definitely stronger than Zhong Li, and even about the same strength as the Empress Dowager Xia Ji. Only such a strong person can escape the eyes and ears of so many people in the palace without being discovered by them.

Ying Zheng coughed and said, "Bao'er, since you're here, let's show up." ”

A petite girl suddenly appeared in front of Ying Zheng, her delicate face was like a small carp jumping out of a painting, looking delicate. But her eyes were slightly red, as if she had just cried, but she couldn't hide her beauty.

Ying Zheng touched Yuanbao's little face, and said distressedly: "You just cried? ”

Yuanbao nodded, and then performed a standard court etiquette, and said, "Palace maid Yuanbao, I have seen the king, I have seen Mrs. Chenxi, and I have seen Mrs. Lin Ye." ”

After finishing speaking, tears fell down his eyes, and he said, "King Qiqi, in fact, I have been here a long time ago, and I was already waiting for your return nearby when Mrs. Lin Ye arrived the day before yesterday. Sister Lin Sheng died, I was the first to sense, she died too miserably, in order to find out the culprit behind the scenes, Xiao Bao endured and did not rush in, for fear that it would affect Sister Xiao An's judgment after entering. ”

"They can't sense it, they can only say that their strength is not enough, Bao'er's strength is even stronger than that of Empress Dowager Xia Ji, second only to Sister Meng Jiang and Bing Xuannu. So Sister Xiao An investigated the case, and I had to come and explain to her in detail the assassin's killing methods, otherwise they would definitely have missed something. ”

Ying Zheng asked suspiciously: "Lilac also often faces corpses, can't she find Lin Sheng's corpse?" ”

Yuanbao cried and said: "Ordinary corpses, Sister Lilac can be, but Sister Lin Sheng's corpse, she can't distinguish them." Wait until the king knows, before Lin Sheng's sister died, after half an hour of abuse, the methods imposed on her were all those assassins who habitually left their own murderous methods before committing suicide. She was brutally tortured to death, and I can only sense five techniques applied to her for the time being, but there must be more, because there are eight assassins in total, seven men and one woman, and the dark room where they committed suicide has already been sensed by me, so I can't do it if I don't come. ”

Ying Zhengting's face was hideous, he gritted his teeth, his fists clenched and gurgled, and he pointed to the hall of Yihuan Courtyard and said, "Bao'er, you go in, you must cooperate with Gong Ming to find out about this matter." ”

Yuanbao took the order to go in, and Chenxi beside Yingzheng frowned and said: "Killing people is not too much, it is an assassin killing people, killing a target without resentment and hatred, and this kind of vicious killing method should not be used." As far as I know, Lin Sheng is a Leng Yue person, and the women of Leng Yue have the same characteristics, that is, they are peaceful by nature, and there should not be many enemies. ”

"Husband, I suspect that those assassins don't hate Lin Sheng, they hate you. Only then, before dying, you will definitely take extreme revenge, treat Lin Sheng as you, and then torture and kill to death. ”

Ying Zheng said angrily: "No need to guess, the assassin is coming at me, I know Lin Sheng's character too well, she doesn't even live in the wind and rain, where can she offend so many people?" Killing Lin Sheng is just the beginning, either killing or dropping the most powerful person around me, and then making the final kill on me, otherwise the other party will have no chance to kill me. ”

"Continue to let Gong Ming investigate, I hope they can investigate quickly, this matter must not be delayed. The longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to me, because the other party's scheming is no less than Xiao An and Grandma Huayang. An Assassin who is so focused on me that he is determined to kill me will surely have a long series of plans. Because the other party must know who is around me and which people are close to, this assassination plan should have been prepared for a long time, and once someone is left alone, the assassination will inevitably be launched. ”

"Not only to assassinate me, but to kill more people around me, I have to think carefully, who else is left alone around me? Who else is not strong enough? ”

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng lowered his head and pondered for a while, the corners of his mouth moved, and the voice was transmitted to Qianzi. The corners of Qianzi's mouth moved, and the sericulture girl of Xuefanlou got off the boat directly, came to the ranch tent, and said: "From now on, Zero Yu, Jin Tong, and Xibu are not allowed to leave the ranch, this is Gongzi's order." ”

The three of them nodded, and Ling Yu said mournfully: "My third brother Yintong died in Yihuan Courtyard, and the king suspects the Nie family, which is a normal thing for people, and he also bothers Sister Sang to come and detain us in person." In fact, you also know that Yin Yue and Zhonghe are on the boat, and it is impossible for me to leave. ”

The sericulture girl sighed: "You are wrong, the son is not suspicious of you, but sent me to protect you." As long as you don't reach the pinnacle of peak strength, you need my protection, because Lin Sheng's death is just the beginning. The main culprit behind the scenes is completely aimed at Gongzi, so he instructed all those close to him not to be left alone, otherwise it will be very dangerous, because we don't know who the murderer will be next. ”

The three of them looked at each other, and things turned out to be like this, and they all stared in the direction of Yihuan Courtyard.

In front of the gate of Yihuan Courtyard, Ying Zheng did not look at Gong Ming and the others again, but turned back to tell Li Si, Wei Yi, Wang Jian and others some things.

The matter is obvious, the other party sent someone to assassinate Lin Sheng, just to cut off the wings around Ying Zheng. Even Lin Sheng can kill, so he will definitely kill Yingzheng's most powerful subordinates and hinder Yingzheng's pace of unifying the Central Plains.

The ministers who heard it all explained things in private. When the officials did this, they all knew how to protect themselves, and they also knew how to avoid the assassination. In troubled times, this kind of life-saving defense, many people are more familiar with playing than Yingzheng, and naturally they will not be afraid of anything.

But the mastermind behind the scenes still attracted everyone's attention, if he didn't find out earlier, as an official under Yingzheng, sooner or later he would be unsure. They were not afraid of being watched by the Assassins, but they were always remembered by the Assassins, and no one could be happy.

When Yuanbao joined in, Gong Ming's confidence was even stronger. The people in the Yiling Hall don't care to lie, since they dare to say that their strength is stronger than Xia Ji, even if they tell a lie, it is estimated that they are not far behind.

Gong Ming waited for Yingzheng to explain the matter, and after calming down, he said: "King, you can come in, but I think you should let the right person in." There are so many people coming in that it is easy to spoil the environment of the bedroom scene. This is only a preliminary investigation, and in the past few days, our people from the fast camp will live here and conduct a thorough search of the entire Yihuan Courtyard, so as not to miss important evidence. ”

Ying Zheng nodded, and with a stroke of his finger, many people nodded, all understanding who should go in and who could not go in. Many people understand these unspoken rules in officialdom, since this matter is related to the three queen mothers and the King of Qin, those who are timid or have low official positions are unwilling to enter, so as not to accidentally cause trouble.

Chenxi said: "The brothers of Beigong are waiting in the hall, no one is allowed to enter the bedroom, and the senior sister and brother-in-law will stay here tonight, personally collect the bones of the brothers, and set off the sleeping lamp." Peak masters, follow me behind my husband, waiting to listen to the call of Gong Ming. ”

Lin Ye and the others also made the same order, and those who were not strong enough were not allowed to step into Yihuan Courtyard, so as not to have too many people.

Ying Zheng and a group of others, following Gong Ming and others, came to the door of the secret room.

The door to the chamber was open, and when you looked through the doorway, the first corpse appeared inside the door. Many people know him, not the Nie family's silver and copper, who is it. Looking inside, there was a corpse of a woman facing the ground, and it was impossible to see whose it was. From the expressions of many people, it was immediately guessed that the dead female corpse should be Lin Sheng.

Lin Ye clenched his fists and said in a low voice: "Although I can't see my face clearly, this figure must be Sister Lin Sheng, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it." Those assassins are so cruel, after killing someone, they actually have to whip the corpse, the murderer behind the scenes, must be found out, before I can vent the hatred in my heart. ”

Yuan Bao cried and said: "Mrs. Lin Ye, your strength is not enough, but all the peak and best powerhouses can see that from the traces of those whipping corpses, Sister Lin Sheng did not die at that time, but endured all kinds of torture alive and died in pain." ”

Lin Ye's mouth opened wide in surprise, his body trembled and he couldn't speak, and tears fell unconsciously. Ying Zheng hugged Lin Ye as a sign of comfort, and didn't say anything.

Yi'an's eyes were slightly red, but he didn't cry, suppressed his sadness, and said seriously: "Bao'er, from now on, wipe away my tears." As a fast catcher, when investigating the case, no emotional fluctuations are allowed to appear, so that the clues left by the assassin can be seen clearly. If you want to cry, you have to wait until the investigation is over, and then cry when you go back. ”

Yuanbao touched his tears and replied aggrievedly: "Obey." ”

Gong Ming, Wang Heng and others had already gathered around the silver and bronze corpses to check, turning the corpses from time to time, saying something, and recording some of the old wine.

After checking, Gong Ming turned his head and said to Ying Zheng and the others: "Preliminary check, the dead person is Zhongdian Yinbronze, as for whether he is an assassin, we have to wait for a slow inspection in the future." Before his death, Yintong had fought with two peak masters, and had two fatal wounds. One is a sword wound in the abdomen, which should have been caused by the Qi assassins; One was a tiny pinhole in the temple, presumably inflicted by the female Assassin. ”

"With the strength of silver and bronze, as long as he hits any place, he can be killed within three breaths. The only answer I can give now is the appearance of Silver and Bronze for the time being, and the purpose is to conflict with two of the Assassins, and the three of them had a fierce conflict during their lifetime, so that there is a discord within them, and a fight is launched. ”

"As for why they were fighting, what contradictions arose, and why silver and copper appeared here, it remains to be further investigated. It will take three days, and we must figure out when and where the silver and bronze came, and from where they came to the Chamber of Secrets, and the series of questions they had to die here, together with other corroborations, before we could give a convincing explanation to all. ”

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Keep investigating." ”

Gong Ming said, "Huh." ”

With a few people from the fast camp, they came to the female corpse again, Gong Ming and the others did not move the corpse, and they all looked at Yi'an with inquiring eyes.

Yi An said: "Bao'er, remember what my sister said, don't cry, check Lin Sheng's sister's body, from the time she was restrained before her death to after her death, all the results that can be seen from the injuries are checked one by one." Say whatever you see, don't think about revenge, those are not what we can do, we only pursue the truth, and let the king decide everything. ”

Yuan Bao choked up and said, "Bao'er understands." ”

It was a slow mistake to lower your body and examine all the injuries on the body, starting from the exposed toes and then extending to the legs, all the way to the waist, back, and head. Looking at the corpses, many people showed unbearable expressions, because not a single part of the clothes was intact, not only the whip marks, but also the wounds cut by the sword, which was terrible.

When the back was checked, Yuanbao's little hand trembled, and he firmly turned the body over. When the face of the female corpse appeared in front of everyone, everyone's faces turned pale, and even the calm Yi'an and Zhongli trembled slightly.

The person who died was Lin Sheng, and although his face was disfigured, his general appearance was still recognizable. Lin Sheng's whole body, there is no place that is complete, not only there are traces of whipping on his back, but the skin on the front is even more peeling off, hanging in front of everyone, a tragic situation of Shura hell, among which there are several very obvious serious injuries, which still need to be further investigated by Yuanbao.

Yuanbao held back tears from his frenzy, his fingers kept trembling to check the scars, and when he checked all the locations, Yuanbao couldn't hold back any longer, threw himself on the ground, and kowtowed violently to Yingzheng.

While knocking, he shouted: "O king, my sister died so miserably, the assassins who killed her, I already know which forces they belong to." But those forces, Bao'er can't be destroyed, I beg the king to vent my anger for me and be the secondary master of the Yiling Palace. ”

Ying Zheng was just about to answer, when suddenly an old woman walked out of a certain door in the secret room. Ying Zheng knew that the old woman had reopened the secret passage from the Qin Palace to Yihuan Courtyard, and he also knew the old woman, and this time she must have asked for his consent and permission to retaliate.

The old woman walked in front of Yingzheng, knelt down with her legs, made a standard bowing salute, and said: "King Qiyu, the envoy of the Yiling Palace, Mo, I implore you to make the decision for the old woman." There weren't many people in the family, and although it would be heartbreaking to die, the old woman also recognized it. But the girl in my family, she is not married, but she died so miserably, I have to come out to say a word for the family. ”

"Lin Sheng's life, she has never offended anyone, even if the Sword Conference provoked the Young Palace Master of Chenxi, as well as my Princess Ying Ai and others, she kept sending messages to ask for forgiveness. Her importance to the king and to the royal families of the nations, all the royal family know that she really doesn't deserve to die so miserably. ”

"If Bao'er tells me the origin of those assassins, and asks the king to give me the power to act cheaply, the old woman will unite with a few worshippers and destroy a few forces, so that I can pour out this evil anger in my heart. This breath is not out, like a throat stalk prick, like a mang's back, really can't be smooth, and I can't explain to the other children in the family, begging the king to make the decision for me? ”

knelt down again and slammed his head on the ground, making the floor of the secret room of Yihuan Courtyard clang.

Ying Zheng didn't care about anything else, rushed into the door of the secret room, helped Granny Mo up, and said: "Mother-in-law, you are a lot old, you can't give this big gift to the juniors, it will break my yang life." Please rest assured, Yingzheng will definitely give you justice and ...... those forces. ”

Just as he was about to continue, Yuanbao was so frightened that he knelt down and crawled to Yingzheng's feet, hugged Yingzheng's thigh, and cried bitterly: "King, silence, you can't say it, you are the king of my Great Qin, Jinkou Yuyan, you can't take back what you say." This revenge cannot be avenged, and those forces cannot be destroyed, we only ask the king to be angry for us, and we dare not mention other demands, nor can we mention them again. ”

Hearing this, all the people who were still saddened by Lin Sheng's death all showed surprised expressions. What are the forces that don't even dare to mention revenge for a peak powerhouse like Yuanbao?
