376. Chapter 373: Karma
The evacuation of the inhabitants of the royal city was still going on, and until nine o'clock in the evening of the same day, there were hardly any residents in the royal city, and the streets of the four districts were empty and deserted, and occasionally a few groups of imperial soldiers were conducting a second search, which immersed the whole royal city in a tense atmosphere......
After another half an hour, in the Tianyue Palace, a palace maid went to Concubine Jun's bedroom to deliver supper, and called in front of the palace for a long time and still did not respond, so she pushed open the half-open door, but found that the general of the dynasty, Wang Ju and Concubine Jun, Zhang Mingjun, were both naked and dead on the bed, and the scene was embarrassing.

Twenty minutes later, Yue Chongsheng received the news and rushed to Zhang Mingjun's dormitory, witnessing the scene in front of him, and was not sad at all because of Zhang Mingjun's death, but after learning the fact that Zhang Mingjun and Wang Ju were fornicating, he was so angry that he shook with thunder, and the law of thunder blew up the dormitory in an instant.
The next day, Yue Chongsheng sentenced Zhang Mingjun to death for the capital crime of "bullying the king", and the third prince Yue Tianjun was removed from the position of prince and demoted to a commoner; Then the five henchmen and adjutant generals under the command of General Wang Ju and more than a dozen members of Wang Ju's family were all beheaded for public display, charged with treason.
……
In the emperor's study, Yue Chongsheng paced back and forth with an annoyed face, and the matter of Zhang Mingjun's fornication with Wang Ju made him still mind it, and he didn't even make the reason for the real execution of the two people public-he couldn't afford to lose this face.
At this time, Ma Chengyun walked into the study-
"General! You've come just in time! I was too angry last night because of that slut's affair and destroyed the scene, but after careful recollection, I found that the death of Wang Ju, a minion, was the same as that of twenty other officials, and they were all killed by a direct blow to the heart, so I guessed that Wang Ju was the twenty-first victim...... As for Zhang Mingjun, a slut...... She killed herself...... That is, martyrdom! When Yue Chongsheng said this, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.
"Your Majesty, in this matter, the minister thinks that the murderer should be in the palace...... Since last night, the minister had expected that the murderer would start killing from the soldiers, and each time the person killed would have a higher status than the previous one, so the murderer would inevitably gradually point the finger at the people in the palace...... Therefore, the minister asked his henchmen to guard closely around the palace, and from yesterday until now, no one has been seen walking out of the palace, even with the law of darkness and the law of wind, it is impossible to escape under the guard of my elite soldiers......" Ma Chengyun said confidently, and his meaning was already obvious.
"The Great General means...... The murderer...... In the palace at this time? Yue Chongsheng was a little unconvinced.
"Whether it's true or not, you can find out if you go to the check, but this time, you have to find a team that has never entered the palace to check, and the number of people can't be large, otherwise, I'm worried that the murderer is a well-known face, once integrated into the checklist, no one knows if the murderer will enter this trap again next time." Ma Chengyun said cautiously that he had already designed this plan three days ago.
Yue Chongsheng frowned and thought for a long time before he spoke: "Okay, let's do what the general wants!" Didn't the day before yesterday the great general recommend a Mr. Dongfang as the Iron Sword General? Since he is a newly promoted general, he will bring someone into the palace to check it, this is my gold medal, give it to him, let him check it with confidence! As long as you find out, you will be rewarded! And also...... Let him start checking from the harem! Find out what people shouldn't appear in the harem, and arrest them directly! Then you may be dealt with with the murderer! ”
Ma Chengyun originally meant the same thing, so he took the gold medal and left the study.
Three hours later, that is, at about twelve o'clock at noon that day, Dongfang Fan's family had lunch, and left Dongfang Biluo, Jiang Mina, Liu Yuxin, Saito Rie, and Tong Queer, while Dongfang Fan, who received the gold medal, set off for Tianyue Palace with the other four people - he originally had the intention of interfering in this matter.
As soon as the five people of Dongfang Fan entered the palace gate, a eunuch called "Zhaocai" stepped forward to lead the way, and the first place to be checked was Concubine Ming's bedroom, that is, Wang Mingxue's bedroom.
"General Iron Sword is ordered by the Emperor to investigate the Moon Palace!" Zhao Cai shouted in a sharp voice outside the palace, and the two palace maids standing outside the door stepped forward to open the palace door, and then knelt down, and in the center of the gate, a woman in luxurious clothes and noble appearance stood leaning over, and on the other side stood a man in civilian clothes.
"Mingxue has seen the general...... Wang Mingxue said weakly.
"Hmm...... Who is this? Dongfang Fan nodded at Wang Mingxue, and then looked at the man on the side, feeling a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it.
"General, this is General Ping Tailong, who led the Thunder Dragon Army, and is Concubine Ming's classmate...... However, this time period appears here...... Something seems wrong...... The emperor also said that anyone who should not appear in the harem will be ......" Zhaocai bowed down and introduced on the side, the second half of the meaning of the words was to hope that Dongfang Fan would take Ping Tailong away.
"Hah! It turned out to be General Pintailong, fortunately! Since it's a classmate, it's normal to hang out on the door, and it's not inappropriate, and with General Ping Tailong here, I believe there is no need to investigate, so let's go to the next place. Dongfang Fan smiled heartily, nodded at Tyrone, and turned to leave......
After Dongfang Fan left, Wang Mingxue asked Ping Tailong a little strangely, "Tailong, do you know that person?" ”
Ping Tailong thought about it, shook his head and said, "It's also the first time I've met this person...... However, he seems to have known me before...... Fortunately, he didn't embarrass me just now, otherwise I would only be afraid of things between you and me......"
Wang Mingxue asked the two palace maids to close the door, and she fell into Ping Tailong's arms inside the door, and said reluctantly: "Mingjun's matter will make 'that person' crazy...... In the meantime, you don't want to come back again...... Wait for this storm to pass...... Alas, if I wasn't that man's concubine...... How good is that......"
Ping Tailong frowned, made up his mind in his heart, and immediately picked up Wang Mingxue and walked to the bed......
said that Dongfang Fan checked in the harem for a round, but he didn't meet any suspects, but the process was too boring, and the two girls who came with him, Ma Fan and Zhuang Jing, had already begun to complain.
"General, this harem has been investigated, but there is still one ...... It is the queen's bedchamber...... It stands to reason that it is also necessary to check. Zhaocai said beside Dongfang Fan, and at this time, Dongfang Fan realized that there was no shadow of Dongfang Xue'er in this harem.
"Well, yes, although it is unlikely, but this time the investigation must not be left flawed...... Excuse me to lead the way. Dongfang Fan said with a smile, if the previous investigation was just a business, then the investigation of Dongfang Xue'er was completely out of Dongfang Fan's selfishness.
There is a separate courtyard in the far north of the harem, and in the courtyard, a luxurious but slightly deserted palace feels the ruthlessness of time in the solemn autumn colors......
Dongfang Fan asked the others to wait outside the courtyard, came to the palace gate alone, and pushed open the gate with a frown.
"Crunch ~~~"
There creaked and creaked from some rotten wooden door, and across the threshold, the interior was empty and cold, and a white figure lay on the only low table—she seemed to sense someone entering, and moved.
"Is it Flowey? Thank you for coming and bringing me food again...... Put it on the ground...... Let's get out of here...... If someone else sees it...... Will be punished again......" Dongfang Xue'er was still lying on the table, not even opening her eyes, that weak breath would not be an accident even if it was interrupted in the next moment!
"Who made you like this!" Dongfang Fan was furious, and an angry roar disturbed the coldness in this cold palace.
Dongfang Xue'er was so frightened by this roar that she raised her head, and when she saw the unfamiliar face in front of her, she subconsciously asked, "Who are you?" ”
Dongfang Xue'er couldn't recognize Dongfang Fan is expected, and besides, when he was in Yamato City, Dongfang Fan's whole body was wrapped in bandages, so no one knew his true face, which also caused Dongfang Xue'er's current doubts.
"If I had known that brute would treat you like this, I shouldn't have relented and let you come back in the first place!" Dongfang Fan was furious, and immediately took out a cotton robe from the space, which happened to fall on Dongfang Xue'er's body, and at the same time, Ling Ran's sword intent exuded from his body, dispelling the coldness around him.
The voice...... You are Mr. Oriental! Dongfang Xue'er's eyes widened in surprise, she never expected to meet this person in front of her in this place and in this situation.
Dongfang Fan looked at Dongfang Xue'er's bleak and pale face, frowned, and after a while, a large table of food was bubbling with aroma, attracting Dongfang Xue'er's attention.
"Eat!" Dongfang Fan drank a word and stared at Dongfang Xue'er tightly, the latter could see the irreversible perseverance in those eyes, and immediately swallowed his saliva, and then wreaked havoc in the food on the table regardless of the image, raising his eyelids from time to time to look at Dongfang Fan, but the more he looked at it, the more familiar he felt, as if: I had seen this person a long time ago.
"You've probably read the contents of that bag...... I know you still don't believe it...... However, it doesn't matter to me, because whether you remember me or not, I won't let you be wronged in any way......" Dongfang Fan gently kicked the ground with his right foot, and suddenly, a spatial magic circle condensed, and after a while, Dongfang Biluo, Liu Yuxin, and Tong Qi'er appeared-
"Biluo, Yuxin! And the finch! When Dongfang Xue'er saw these three people, her face suddenly smiled, and she stood up directly and stood with the third girl.
"If all three of you are here...... Could it be that he really ......" Dongfang Xue'er said suddenly, and her gaze at Dongfang Fan also became strange.
"No matter how the world changes, no matter how the world changes, there is only one master in me, Miss Cher, you guessed correctly: he is your brother." Dongfang Biluo took Dongfang Xue'er's hand and said with a light smile.
Dongfang Xue'er's worldview began to change at this time......
……
At the same time, Yue Chongsheng, who was consulting the classics in the study, was suddenly startled by the sound of pushing the door in, and looked back: a black-robed man, exuding an undisguised murderous aura, his hands stained with the blood of the guards outside the door......
