Around the Ruijun Palace, a pair of royal forest troops stood tall and stood quietly, surrounding the Ruijun Palace. In front of the gate of the palace, dozens of Imperial Forest soldiers stood majestically in a row. The surroundings of the Ruijun Royal Mansion are as quiet as cicadas. At the door of the neighboring household, from time to time, mothers-in-law and servants came out to look, and when they saw such a battle, they retracted their heads, and they were so frightened that they didn't even dare to come out.

Within the high wall, a man's roar came: "Murong Zhuo, this king wants to go in, do you dare to stop it?" ”

"Please respect yourself! My father issued an order and gave me to cooperate with the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to investigate and deal with this case. ”

"Get out of the way, this king wants to go in and find out. This is the Ruijun Palace, our clan uncle......"

Jiang Ruoning coughed lightly twice, "Yo, what's going on?" What are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Seven Emperor Brothers playing? ”

The Seventh Prince looked at Jiang Ruoning.

Jiang Ruoning's cloud was light and light, with a little sleepiness on his face, and his head was only briefly pulled, as if he hadn't woken up, "Last night, the dogs in the lotus flower kept barking. I'm afraid of the dark, I don't dare to go out, I just woke up this morning and heard that something was wrong, saying that the Criminal Department and Dali Temple had done an important case, how could I not know that I was arrested? Can the two brothers tell Sù Fengge what happened? ”

The Seventh Prince will understand, since Jiang Ruoning wants to stay out of the matter, why should he bring her in, and besides, this case originally had Jiang Ruoning's credit, since she didn't want it, he naturally wanted to appreciate it. "Sister Fengge, this is not something your daughter's family can ask."

The prince immediately shouted: "I can't ask, Feng Ge can't ask, just you Murong Zhuo can ask." What did Uncle Ruijun do wrong? You will lead your army to surround the king of Ruijun. ”

Jiang Ruoning said with a surprised face: "I slept soundly last night, and when I heard thunder, the sky turned cold, why was there such a loud thunder." The weather in this capital is really good, only thunder is heard, but no rain is heard. ”

Ah Huan stood on the side, knowing that Jiang Ruoning was deliberate, and hurriedly said: "Senior sister, it's not thunder, I inquired about it, and said that someone outside the city made thistle last night." The pine and cypress outside the southern city are about to be blown up, it's terrible! Who would have thought that there were nearly a thousand white bones in a dry well in pine and cypress. It's scary! It's a veritable pit of a thousand people......"

When the Seventh Prince heard this, his face was shocked: "Shang Huan, is this true?" Thousands of white bones appeared outside the Red Lotus Temple? ”

If there are many dead people, the case will be big, and there will be thousands of bones. This is a big case that has never been seen since the founding of the dynasty, and once the case is solved, his credit will be greater.

Nearly a thousand white bones, that is, nearly a thousand people died.

Jiang Ruoning said disappreciatively: "You listen to Ah Huan, she didn't listen to the catchers of Dali Temple, maybe four or five hundred corpses, but when she arrived, it became nearly a thousand." `”

Ah Huan argued: "Senior sister sleeps heavily at night, but I have gone out of the city to see, the forest is full of corpses and bones, which is strange and scary." Even if there are not a thousand, there are more than five hundred, and there is a white flower, and there is a collapse in it, saying that there is a secret passage below. Lord Zhu of Dali Temple took the Imperial Forest Army to guard the outside of the Red Lotus Temple, the people inside couldn't get out, the people outside couldn't get in, and they were stalemate. ”

Jiang Ruoning patted his head, "Ah, I don't understand." The Seven Emperor Brothers besieged the Ruijun Palace, why did hundreds of corpses appear outside the city? Let me think about it, ah--I figured it out: these hundreds of bones must have something to do with King Ruijun! Brother Seven Emperors, I guessed right. The real murderer of hundreds of innocent people who died in vain is the king of Ruijun? ”

Prince, if you are really wise, you should leave as soon as possible.

Jiang Ruoning deliberately broke this case and had nothing to do with Murong Liang, the king of Ruijun, and the prince knew how to retreat in order to protect himself.

Such a big case, there is no emperor's will. Even the crown prince can't hold back.

Jiang Ruoning approached the crown prince, "Brother the crown prince, those hundreds of corpses and bones won't have anything to do with you, right?" Early in the morning, everyone in the Manchu Dynasty avoided this case, but you were the only one who came up. Brother Crown Prince, if you don't know, you will definitely think that you are involved in the Thousand Corpses case? ”

The crown prince had a loud alarm in his heart: he could not be involved in this case.

It's just that Murong Liang, the king of Ruijun, will let him go?

As long as Murong Liang doesn't talk nonsense, he is innocent.

Ah Huan said: "Hundreds of corpses, half of them are children, and the youngest is only five years old, and the scene is infuriating. Your Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, do you have something strange here? ”

Jiang Ruoning raised his hand, "If you want me to say, Lord Zhu still has the courage, let him Honglian Temple have the iron wall, a few thistles roar and explode, what cows, ghosts, snakes and gods are all afraid." Brother Seven Emperors, why don't you also learn from Master Zhu? ”

The Seventh Prince said: "I have ordered Lord Guan Ting to enter the palace to ask for my father's will, this thistle terrestris is controlled by the Ministry of War, and it can only be allocated with the permission of my father." I think I'll get thistle terrestris in a little while......"

He didn't believe that this thistle terrestris belonged to Zhu Zheng, I was afraid that Jiang Ruoning got it.

What does the father mean? Didn't he say that he was allowed to take charge of the case with the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, how could he let Jiang Ruoning intervene.

The prince stood in place, no longer noisy, there was such a big mess outside the city, I am afraid that it will be spread this morning.

Jiang Ruoning's words were right, if he insisted on going in again, wouldn't he agree that he was related to this case. `com

Hundreds of corpses, this is already a shocking case.

He couldn't stay any longer.

The crown prince waved his hand and said, "Seventh brother, you explained to this king earlier, and this king will not be so angry. That being the case, the king took his leave. ”

Jiang Ruoning said: "Brother Crown Prince, it will be the early dynasty in a while, and you have to go back to the palace quickly, so as not to be framed by a minister who is not long-sighted, and it will not be good if it is not involved in you." ”

The prince left in a hurry, got into the carriage outside the gate, and shouted: "Go back to the palace!" ”

Jiang Ruoning said: "How is the Seventh Emperor Brother here?" ”

"I haven't captured King Ruijun yet, but Prince Ruijun and others fled to the underground secret room with their families."

Jiang Ruoning said: "The Red Lotus Temple has a fourth secret passage. Brother Seven Emperors, I'm worried that there is a secret passage that no one knows. ”

Zhu Zheng was furious when he saw hundreds of bones exploded in Songbin, and immediately ordered to blow up the three secret passages, while Jiang Ruoning accidentally destroyed the secret passages that the emperor's relatives and famous sons wanted to escape.

In this way, the people inside want to come out, unless they give birth to wings.

The Seventh Prince recalled Zhu Zheng's decisiveness, and immediately shouted: "Someone! Send a few people to urge Guan Ting, and if this continues, everyone will escape. Hurry up and bring the thistles. ”

Jiang Ruoning thought of his waste, who would have thought that the Seventh Prince had not prepared at all in advance.

And the emperor's arrangement of this errand for him was also sudden.

"Brother Seven Emperors might as well send someone to Lord Zhu to borrow two first, and wait for the fire thistle terrestris on the top......"

Before Jiang Ruoning finished speaking, he heard Lin Jiang's voice outside: "Your Highness, Lord Guan is back!" ”

Master Guan shook his hand. "The lower official entered the palace to meet the emperor, and received five thistles from the military department, since several secret passages have been tightly guarded by them, they will explode from above now."

Guan Ting ordered the Criminal Department to make a hole in the ground where there was an echo...... Looking inside, you can clearly see the luxury below, but you don't see half a figure.

"Listen, people below, now I'm going to blast the ground open, and I want to get out of here ten feet away with my life!"

No one responded inside.

Guan Ting still ordered the arrester to shout five times in a row.

The Seventh Prince's heart sank: they couldn't really have slipped away through another secret passage they didn't know about, right?

King Ruijun!

He won't be able to catch anyone. Wouldn't it disappoint my father?

And outside the city, there was such a big commotion yesterday.

Jiang Ruoning saw his worry, "There are people from the Gyeonggi Guard patrolling the entire lotus, and if there are suspicious people, they will definitely be caught." ”

Jiang Ruoning didn't know the situation here.

This is the place that King Ruijun himself picked.

If he can't catch someone, he will be laughed at if he is defeated.

But there was a big anomaly on Zhu Zheng's side: hundreds of horrific bones surrounded the Red Lotus Temple.

As soon as the morning dawns, once someone shows that Zhu Zheng's side is not manpowered, there will be additional manpower from Yushi Jian.

Boom -

There was a loud bang. Dust and smoke billowed into the sky.

A huge hole was broken in the ground.

Jiang Ruoning looked back at the sky, and the girl's cry came from the ground, mixed with the woman's shrill screams, as well as the man's angry scolding and shouting, which stirred up the good morning into a miasma.

"Senior sister, let's go back to the palace to rest."

Ah Huan froze: "Senior sister, you want to go back to the palace now." ”

"That's right! Right now! ”

She slipped out of the palace in disguise as Cuiqian, and now is the time to go back.

She also wanted to tell the emperor that there were also loopholes in the management of the palace. Just like her, she didn't just leave the palace easily.

*

On the sixth day of August in the twenty-seventh year of Dayan Zhengxing, this day was forever recorded in the history books.

As soon as the sky was bright, hundreds of civil and military officials lined up outside the Xuanwu Gate to enter the court and participate in politics.

Jiang Ruoning sat on his chariot. With four guards, he was rushing to the palace with Ah Huan.

"I heard that there are hundreds of bones in pine and cypress five miles south of the city."

"Half of them are still children."

"Alas, it's miserable."

"I heard that it was the big proprietor behind the Red Lotus Temple who did evil."

"Red Lotus Temple is not a dark building?"

"I heard that Lord Zhu of Dali Temple led people to surround the Red Lotus Temple, and there are now four secret passages."

The ministers were talking.

Some of the courtiers had a solemn face, and some of them had already traveled overseas as if they were facing a great enemy......

Something big happened, and the big boss must have been arrested behind this scene.

How did so many people die.

The big proprietor of the dark building wants to clear the suspicion, but I am afraid that he can't.

That's hundreds of lives.

Jiang Ruoning took out the token and was about to enter the palace gate. Someone waved his hand to block the way: "Murong Mao visits Princess Fengge." ”

She lifted the corner of the curtain, and her eyes locked coldly on Murong Mao.

They looked at each other, questioning in his eyes, reproach in her eyes.

He knew: she was hiding it from him. In the face of big things, she didn't believe him.

And she knew: he was questioning, why couldn't he be trusted?

"King Changjun, come to visit you another day. Heavy eight, enter the palace! ”

The prison gate inspected the carriage, and Jiang Ruoning went straight to the palace gate.

Murong Mao looked at her departing figure for a long time.

King Min moved from one side, "Why don't you ask her?" Your second brother is trapped in a dark building. ”

Murong Mao recalled her eyes, which were sharp, such a look belonged to the incumbent.

From the beginning, he didn't believe Jiang Ruoning, he was grateful to her, so he agreed to take her into the dark building to play.

When did she become suspicious?

They have cooperated, but neither Murong Mao nor Jiang Ruoning believe in each other. (To be continued.) )
