Chapter 1004: The Imperial City Poisoning Case
Inside the Yuanshan Academy.
Lei Luo finally returned to his residence, but his face was not happy at the moment.
Because he was a second-generation disciple of Yuanshan Academy, he actually received an edict from the Holy Emperor, and he had to handle the case himself.
Although the academies in the imperial city were all under the jurisdiction of the Holy Heavenly Emperor, and Dean Zheng had been the mentor of the previous emperor back then, the Confucian students in the academy also had an official position above the court.
But he doesn't have an official position, even those ordinary students have official positions, and even some official positions are not small. But he is the only one who is Bai Ding, and to put it bluntly, he is an ordinary person.
But now the Holy Emperor actually uses Dean Zheng, the former emperor's mentor, as a springboard to give himself an order to handle the case, which is a bit unreasonable.
Could it be that in the eyes of the Holy Emperor, those ministers of military aircraft above the court, those defenders in the imperial city, and those lords of the Supervision Department are all unable to eat dry food.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Lei Luo's mind, as if he had thought of something.
"You can go to the Military Aircraft Department of the White Tiger District to inquire about the detailed situation, and they will definitely cooperate with you!" Dean Zheng said just now.
In the Imperial City, the Military Aircraft Department is not in charge of the intelligence of the Imperial City, and it is the Supervision Department that really has first-hand information, but why did Dean Zheng ask him to ask the Military Aircraft Department, not the Supervision Department.
Unless he had expected that the Supervision Department would not cooperate with him, the Military Aircraft Department had Dean Zheng's old friend, and he would choose to help for the sake of his face in the past or the other party had taken care of him in advance.
"It seems that this case is not because the Holy Emperor trusted me, but deliberately gave me small shoes!" Lei Luo's expression turned cold, and he analyzed the reason.
Because the Huangfu family is the first family in the immortal cultivation realm of the Holy Heavenly Emperor Dynasty, he took the family to open the knife, and the methods were vicious, and he destroyed people at every turn.
Although this Holy Emperor made the 'right' choice under ironclad evidence, it did not prevent the other party from hating him and treating him as a threat, so he thought of a way to eradicate this threat.
This is the family's method, first compromise in person, and then secretly brush up some intrigues to murder you.
"In that case, I'll take a look at what kind of case this Holy Emperor wants me to handle!" Lei Luo muttered.
After he finished speaking, he opened the fiery red roll in his hand and read it word by word.
But soon, when he had finished reading it once, he continued to watch it a second time, and this time he watched it more carefully and more seriously.
Lei Luo looked at it ten times, then squinted his eyes and his pupils shrunk, obviously knowing that this matter was not trivial.
He put away the rolling paper in his hand, looked at it deeply for a long time, his expression suddenly became cold, and he was surprised: "Someone actually poisoned the imperial court, and he wanted to poison the important members of the imperial court and the disciples of the imperial family!"
This matter started from the fact that he had just left the imperial city with his front foot half a year ago, and it was a coincidence that someone was poisoned on his front foot and behind his back foot.
And this time the person who was poisoned was not a cat or a dog, but a second-class official in the dynasty, with an important official position.
The symptoms of poisoning were very miserable, and it is said that the second-class master ulcerated all over his body, his body was covered with abscesses, and his whole body was extremely itchy, and no means could cure him.
In this way, the poisoned man suffered for six days and seven nights, and finally he could not bear the pain anymore, and actually bit his tongue and committed suicide, and when he was dying, he showed a smile of relief.
It is said that this poisoning case alarmed the imperial hospitals in the imperial dynasty at that time, but even if dozens of imperial doctors joined forces, it was useless, and the poison was still incurable, and even after half a year, those imperial doctors did not prepare an antidote.
Fortunately, this poison is not a contagious disease, and although the poisoned person is worse than dead, all the people around him are fine.
As a result, in the second month, another person was poisoned, and this person was actually a direct disciple of the Huangfu family, but not the prince and the princess.
Although the Huangfu family is royal, there will be other disciples who are not princes and princesses under the leafy branches, and it is said that the descendants are all from several brothers of the Holy Emperor, that is, those princes who have no territory in the court.
Their children are all direct disciples of the Huangfu family, but these feudal kings almost do not show up, and there is no news or rumors even in the court.
Even now, Lei Luo didn't know what the names of these princes were, only that they all had the surname Huangfu.
In short, a certain prince's descendant was also poisoned, and he only lasted three days before committing suicide, and he also showed a smile of relief before he died.
At this moment, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the major authorities in the imperial city began to work together to handle the case, and the Holy Emperor even gave an order to investigate the murderer thoroughly, and gave a death order to the Supervision Department.
As a result, in the third, fourth, fifth, and even the last month, one of the ministers of the DPRK and China died one after another.
Needless to say, these dead people were poisoned to death, and they suffered great pain before they died.
This is almost like provoking the royal power, for six months, one person dies in a month, and they are all important members of the court or royal disciples, this is not a provocation.
As a result, six months have passed, and there is no news about the person who poisoned him, and the Supervision Department and the Suppression Department were killed by the Holy Emperor because of their unfavorable affairs.
Now that the drudgery had finally been handed over from the Supervision Department and the Suppression Division, it was now Lei Luo's turn.
The Holy Emperor really gave a deadline, but considering that someone was a person, not a court organization with thousands of people such as the Suppression Department and the Supervision Department, the deadline did not reach the point of racing against time.
The deadline is three months, and he must arrest the poisoner, otherwise no one can afford the consequences.
In other words, according to the methods of the poisoner, three more people may die in these three months.
Unless the poisoner doesn't play his cards according to common sense, then the fourth victim will appear and he will die with him.
"You really look up to me, the Suppression Department and the Supervision Department add up to tens of thousands of people, but they couldn't find the murderer for half a year, so they gave me three months, half the time they had!" Lei Luo sneered.
No wonder Dean Zheng would talk like this, after all, the Department of Suppression and Supervision couldn't find clues for half a year, and the Holy Emperor actually gave a hairy boy three months, isn't this a slap in the face.
The Holy Emperor actually believed in a kid from the academy, and he didn't believe in them, the imperial court institutions.
Even if Lei Luo can't find out in the end, the charges of the Suppression Division and the Supervision Department will be confirmed, of course, if they are found out in the end, it will be even more terrible.
The Department of Suppression and Supervision found nothing in half a year, and it took someone only three months to solve the case single-handedly.
Lei Luo could even imagine that when the Holy Emperor appointed himself as the candidate to solve the case, the people of the Pacification Division and the Supervision Department regarded themselves as enemies with a deep blood vendetta.
"Forget it, let's take one step at a time, it's a big deal that I will first enter Haoran Academy in the last few days, slaughter all those big gentlemen, and then fall into the path of Shura in the imperial city, and slaughter the entire imperial city!"
Although he can see it, he is not a fish to be slaughtered, if he is really in a hurry, then don't blame someone for being ruthless.
Haoran Academy is definitely the most threatening force to him, and after destroying it, he will slaughter the entire imperial city, this is the way out of trouble in his eyes.
But now, he still needs to investigate the case, after all, if he doesn't participate in such an interesting case, wouldn't he be ashamed of the Holy Emperor's trust.
......
Holy Emperor City, White Tiger District.
This area is the military important place of the imperial city, and most of the mansions in it are where the imperial court institutions are located, and the famous Supervision Department and the Zhenfu Department are all here.
Of course, there are also some important officials of the imperial court or ministers of military aircraft who build their mansions here, and the closer to the imperial city in the center, it means that the greater the power of this institution, and the higher the position of this official.
At this moment, Lei Luo came to the neighborhood where the stars are "fear" and the animals are "earth pheasants", and this place is where the Imperial City's military aircraft department is located, and most of the surrounding mansions are military ministers.
It is also strange to say that among the six murders, one in Nancheng District, one in Dongcheng District, three in Beicheng District, and even one in the central palace is located, but nothing happened in Baihu District.
He came to the gate of the military aircraft office, handed in the prayer post, and then waited at the door, and after a while the sergeant who had entered to pass the message invited him in.
A quarter of an hour later, in a secret room in the military aircraft department, Lei Luo saw an old man with a thin face.
This person is a person in charge of the Military Aircraft Department, surnamed Cui, the official residence Sanpin, and he is actually Dean Zheng's apprentice.
Dean Zheng was the former emperor's mentor Lei Luo knew, and this Master Cui was one of the emperor's companion disciples, and he was a classmate of the emperor.
Therefore, this Master Cui is very respectful to Dean Zheng of Yuanshan Academy, and even performs disciple salutes every time they meet, and is naturally very eager for Lei Luo who came out of Yuanshan Academy.
"I didn't expect that the Holy Emperor would actually entrust Lei Xian's nephew with this task, this is a bit unreasonable, such a big case is actually for you to take on alone," Master Cui shook his head and wondered.
Although he was polite to Lei Luo, this couldn't change the fact that the person in front of him was a hairy boy, and Lord Cui didn't look down on Lei Luo, but he was quite puzzled by this matter.
Of course, if he knew that the person in front of him was more than two hundred years old, more than a hundred years older than him, then this matter would be another matter.
"This Holy Emperor's edict has already come down, even if Lord Cui doesn't understand it, it's useless, I just came to visit one or two after listening to Dean Zheng's suggestion, and I'll go to the Suppression Department and the Supervision Department to ask for some news later," Lei Luo said lightly.
As soon as these words came out, this Master Cui's rickety figure trembled, obviously hearing something terrible.
"Virtuous nephew, you still have to go to the Pacification Division and the Supervision Division, then you have to be careful, the people in these two divisions are not easy to mess with, and because of this matter, they will not obediently cooperate with you!" he reminded tremblingly.
"This is expected in the future, Master Cui don't have to worry about anything, I don't plan to be honest and sneaky in this investigation, if those two divisions dare to stumble, then don't blame me for using thunder means!"
Of course, Lei Luo knew that the two divisions would not cooperate with him obediently, so he smiled faintly, and then his expression became cold, and his eyes burst with murderous intent.
Even Master Cui, the elder of the two dynasties, felt a burst of horror after seeing the murderous intent in the eyes of the 'junior' in front of him, as if there was some terrifying demon in front of him.
Next, Lei Luo and Master Cui chatted a few words, but they didn't get any useful news.
He then walked out of the military plane, and then called out Lu Linglong, Little White Fox and Huangfu Yuqian.
As soon as she appeared, Lu Linglong found a clue, that is, the entire White Tiger District was actually shrouded in a magic circle.
Not only that, but this imperial city was also shrouded in a magic circle, and the magic circle was in the sky.
I didn't notice this magic circle in the Yuanshan Academy at the beginning, not because I couldn't detect it, but because there was also a magic circle in the Yuanshan Academy, so it isolated the fluctuations of the magic circle in the imperial city.
At this moment, Lei Luo finally had a clue, but this clue was far from enough.
After all, even if the White Tiger District is safe, the Qinglong, Vermilion Bird and Xuanwu District are not small, and there is also the palace in the center.
"What do you think?" he asked.
But he was disappointed, although this late stage disciple of the Xuanyin Sect was extremely strong in cultivation, but after so many years of cultivation, he didn't have much experience in handling cases, so naturally there were no clues.
The little white fox was wandering around the ground like a small animal, without the slightest clue.
Only Lu Linglong stood still, and looked at the surrounding sky above the imperial city, obviously checking the clues of the magic circle in the imperial city.
Lei Luo shook his head, and secretly said that he had to rely on himself, and then led them towards the Zhenfu Division.
