Changning Palace.

In the splendid palace, Xiao Che sat casually, with a cup of freshly brewed hot tea on the table in front of him, which was steaming with fragrance and heat.

An old eunuch in black clothes and a high hat with a white face and beard was standing aside with his eyebrows lowered and his eyes lowered, his hands tucked into his sleeves, and he looked at his nose and nose.

"All the people in the East Castle died last night?" Xiao Che frowned and repeated the words of the old eunuch in black, "What about the Praetorian Guards? Have you caught the murderer?" I want to see what kind of person is so bold that all the murders have come to my palace!"

The old eunuch in black bent his waist, shook his head and said, "The old slave went to take a look, and most of the corpses were headless, as if they had been bitten off. The commander of the forbidden army said that this was not man-made and was being investigated. ”

Hearing the old eunuch in black say, "Most of the corpses are headless", Xiao Che's eyes couldn't help flashing a different color, and after a pause, he said in a deep voice: "What did the three spirit officials say?"

The black-clothed old eunuch said: "The Lingguan adults also said that this was done by "unknown", and they are searching around the palace, and they will inform Your Majesty as soon as there is a result." ”

Xiao Che raised his eyebrows and looked at him, and said, "In other words, the three spirit officers are not here now?"

"This ......" the old eunuch in black hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not here at this time, and the old slave will send someone to keep an eye on them." ”

Xiao Che shook his head and said, "No, you go in person, follow them to check, and send someone to inform me as soon as there is progress, and by the way, keep an eye on the three of them for me." ”

"No. ”

Watching the back of the old eunuch in black gradually disappear, Xiao Che's face sank little by little.

For a moment, he rubbed the jade wrench in his hand, lowered his voice, and seemed to be muttering to himself, "Grandfather, what's the matter?"

"Your willpower is too weak!" an indifferent voice came from the wrench, "That thing has been hungry for a long time, and it broke free from the circle last night and ran out, and it only came back when it was full." ”

"I wanted to warn you when something happened, but those two spirits are sitting on top of you, and if I speak up, I'm in danger of being exposed. ”

When Xiao Che heard this, his face became a little ugly, and he was silent for a moment before he said: "Since it has been stained with human life, it can't be kept, give it to death, and cultivate the next one." ”

"What?" the old voice in the wrench finally had a hint of surprise when he heard his feelings, "Che'er, this one you have cultivated for so long, and finally reached the third order." Just for the lives of a few eunuchs, it is not worth it to give a third-order "unknown" to death!"

Xiao Che's voice became cold and hard, and he said, "Grandfather, it's not a few lives, it's a total of forty-six lives, all of which were destroyed in its hands. ”

"I wonder if my grandfather ever saw a hunter kill a tiger? Hunters living near the mountains generally do not provoke tigers, because the cost of killing a tiger is too great, not only will the hound be seriously killed or injured, but even people may get into it. ”

"This is the general situation, but in another case, the hunters will do whatever it takes to kill the tiger. In this case, if a tiger eats a man, a tiger that has eaten a human will also list people as its target for hunting, and then it will be much more dangerous. In the same way, the same is true of "ominous", although the "ominous" we domesticate is precious, but if it is touched by human life, then there is no need for it to live. ”

"After all, I am not only a human race, but also the emperor of the Wu Dynasty. These forty-six eunuchs, though they have a cheap life, are also my people. It must die, both public and private!"

After saying this, the hall suddenly fell silent.

After a while, a voice came out of the ring: "Okay, then listen to you." ”

......

......

Dongfu.

The courtyard was under martial law at this time, and the Praetorian Guards wearing silver dragon armor stood on a human wall outside the courtyard, isolating all the eunuchs and palace maids who were watching the excitement outside.

Inside the hospital.

At this time, the commander of the Forbidden Army King was commanding his Praetorian Guards to carry out the corpses covered with white cloth in the courtyard one by one.

"Hurry up, hurry up, move quickly, carry it out......"

In the west wing room in front, the white-clothed middle-aged man who personally protected Xiao Che was looking down at these shallow footprints in the house at this time.

These footprints were very large, about twice the size of ordinary people, and judging from the position where the footprints stood, the owner of the footprints should have been standing by the bed in the house.

"Hey, here, there are footprints here. ”

Lin Gao seemed to have found something outside the carved window, and shouted loudly, attracting the attention of the middle-aged man in white.

Seeing the gaze of the middle-aged man in white, Lin Gao pointed to the ground outside the window and said, "Uncle Bai, look, there are also footprints here, indicating that the "unknown" person who stood here and peeped inside when he entered this wing. ”

When the middle-aged man in white saw it, he secretly said in his heart that this was indeed the case.

Lin Gao continued: "Does Uncle Bai know which kind of "ominous" likes to peep before killing?"

"Voyeurism?" The middle-aged man in white pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "I can't guess, I don't know a lot about "ominous", only those famous "ominous" know a little. ”

"Wanyi, what about you?" Lin Gao turned his head to look at the Tang family spirit clan wearing a white veil and asked softly.

Tang Wanyi also shook her head and said, "Like Uncle Bai, I don't know much about "unknown". However, I want to know more than what kind of "unknown" this one is, how did it get into the palace?"

"The entire palace has been covered with layers of spirit arrays by you and me, not that we take the initiative to open it, if outsiders want to enter, they must first destroy the spirit array. But if you destroy the spirit array, you will let us know what he is doing. But did you feel anything unusual yesterday?"

Lin Gao was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Yes, I don't feel anything either, the spirit array I arranged is still intact, how did this "unknown" come in?"

The middle-aged man in white glanced at Tang Wanyi approvingly, and said loudly: "I also wanted to say just now, this "ominous" heel is probably here. ”

He gestured to the ground.

The other two knew that he was talking about the palace.

"In the palace, someone is raising "unknown"! Who do you say, who will it be?" The eyes of the middle-aged man in white flashed with an incomprehensible look.

Tang Wanyi's beautiful eyes flickered, looked in the direction of Changning Palace, and said, "Could it be...... What about him?"

Lin Gao also understood what he meant, and said: "Apart from him, who else in this palace has the ability to raise "unknown"? I have long seen that this kid is uneasy and kind, and he has been holding a stinky shelf in front of us, I will go and bring him here now, interrogate him, and see if he wants to rebel?"

"Stop!" the middle-aged man in white called out to him, "When will your impatient temper change? Do you have evidence? Besides, what does it have to do with you whether people raise "unknown"? You still run to question people. ”

"Listen to me, let's investigate secretly first, and when we find out the evidence, we will notify our respective families and see what the family side says. ”

"Okay. ”
