Chapter 65: Temptation and Pretending
He took the second piece of the forged "Blood Wall" and swept in the direction of the princess's mansion.
Clarifying a so-called "grievance" is, in his opinion, just a trivial incident. How could Jing Hengbo be framed and wronged casually? Naturally, it is the right thing to make the entire falling clouds pay the price.
He is a national teacher of a country, holding the authority of the Great Wilderness, and all the prisons in the world must be approved by him. When it comes to these people's hearts, he may not be worse than those old officials.
In clarifying grievances, no matter how much empirical evidence is given by the suspected side, it is not as powerful as the evidence that the victim himself "discovered" is more powerful and convincing the victim.
Liu Yuan ordered all the people and went straight to the palace, to report this major discovery to Ge Shen, so as not to cause an unnecessary disaster, and when Gong Yin's figure had already floated over the high wall of the East Palace.
……
"Prepare the horses! All the officials! Take this wall with you! I want to meet the king immediately! ”
A moment later, a loud order came from the courtyard, Liu Yuan, the head of the Criminal Division.
He stood up.
“…… Over here! Why wasn't it found here before! ”
Suddenly, he shuddered, exclaimed, and the copper lamp in his hand almost fell to the ground.
He crouched in front of the wall that he had seen countless times, held the lamp, and looked at the wall again, up and down, carefully.
Liu Yuan quickly left the hall and went straight to the east wing, which was unlocked, lit the lamp, and walked to the bloody wall.
He saw the locked door of the east wing.
Liu Yuan wiped a handful of sweat, his heart beat and his legs were weak, and it took a long time to barely struggle to get up, not daring to approach the golden coffin, and looking sideways to the east.
This time the wind was much warmer than before, and then the lantern was lit, and the light was seen again, and the light in the hall was pale yellow and soft, and Ge Yu was still lying calmly in the coffin.
A gust of wind passed.
The corpse stared at him for a long time, and then fell down with a "bang".
Liu Yuan was shocked and frightened, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness...... You have a grievance...... The lower officials must be desperate to avenge your grievances...... Rest in peace! ”
When he turned back again, black blood slowly flowed from the corners of his eyes and mouth.
Fortunately, the corpse didn't make any more movements, just slowly turned its head, glanced in the direction of the east, and then looked again.
Liu Yuan was so shocked that he stepped back, stepped on the corner of his robe, and almost fell down, and for a while he was bold, he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and he couldn't help but weaken his legs.
Before the words fell, the corpse sat up with a "bang"!
Lord Liu froze, took a step back, and said sharply: "Your Highness! If you are really heroic and not far away, please say it to Liu Yuan! ”
The face of the dead man in the golden coffin was faintly visible, as white as a piece of paper, a gust of wind passed, the sideburns rose slowly and melodiously, and the whole person seemed to float up.
At this time, the white curtain in the hall flew silently, and the dome of the Zhulan was shrouded in a bleak darkness, and there was a faint noise in the darkness, and it was impossible to distinguish what the sound was, but it made people feel that this was by no means a human voice, distant, poignant, desolate and empty.
Such an unusually cold made Lord Liu's face change as well, and he slowly turned his head.
Not only did the lights go out, but the cold around was getting worse, that kind of cold, it was definitely not a gust of cold wind, or the cold of the sudden drop in temperature, as if the ice and snow were suddenly stuffed into the blood, the cold moon filled the chest, and the cold was bone-chilling around the body, and the bones seemed to freeze and crack in an instant, making a crunching sound.
Lord Liu was stunned, picked up the incense stick, approached the ever-bright lamp to light it, and with another "pounce", the ever-bright lamp was also extinguished.
The family was eager for this sound, and hurriedly crawled out, Lord Liu's face did not change, and continued to light incense, the incense had just been lit, and suddenly a gust of wind passed by, and it was extinguished.
"Nonsense!" Lord Liu is in charge of the judicial affairs of the Luoyun Prison, he is used to seeing the murderous dead, he thinks that he is upright, and his shoulders are impotent, where is he willing to listen to the words of these strange forces, he raised his eyebrows and scolded, "Lang Lang Qiankun, the vast world, how can there be a place for ghosts!" Hugh is here babbling gibberish, get out! ”
The chill was so terrifying that the family behind him shivered, stared at the flying snow-white curtain with a pale face, and said in a lost voice: "Ghosts, ghosts, ghosts...... The ghost is coming......"
A moment later, in the place where Wang Shizi rested, Lord Liu, the secretary of the Luoyun Punishment Division, was sincerely burning three pillars of incense, preparing to pray for Wang Shizi's soul in heaven, when he suddenly felt a cool breeze passing by, and then a chill rose around him.
The figure on the window paper disappeared obliquely, Gong Yin raised his eyebrows slightly, took out the wall tiles he had forged before, replaced the one stored in this room, and flashed out of the east chamber.
The man shook his head and said, "I think there is always something strange about this case. Not to mention anything else, it seems that it is really unnecessary for the queen to kill the prince...... If the murderer is not the queen, then the murderer in the dark dares to kill the prince, what kind of heart and mind? When the time comes, I will have the queen's revenge outside the clouds, and there will be those who have scheming power inside, what a bad situation it will be...... Let's go and worship the prince first, and may his heroic spirit not be far away, and give me guidance......"
The man in the back said, "What about the co-master?" It's just a nominal co-master. The six countries and eight ministries have long been their own climate, and they are afraid of who will come. Could it be that Emperor Ge or Tortoiseshell can still attack Luoyun from several parts? Besides, as long as we deal with it secretly, we won't necessarily make a big splash......"
The man said in a deep voice, "What do you know? Although the murderer in this case is clear, his identity is too shocking. Now the king is saddened by the death of his beloved son, and he does not hesitate to confront the woman. The other party is the co-leader of my departments, and the army under his command is stationed outside my Luoyun City, this trouble will arise, and my Luoyun City, and even my entire Luoyun, may suffer from unforeseen disasters......" After speaking, he couldn't help sighing.
A man followed him and said, "Why is the master so worried? Although the murder of Wang Shizi is a big case, the murderer is clear. Our criminal division has nothing to do with this time, just need to conduct a routine investigation here, which can be regarded as good luck. ”
Suddenly a figure passed by outside the house, Gong Yin flashed to the side, saw a black shadow on the window paper, pacing the official's usual square steps, slowly passed, and vaguely seemed to hear this person's worried sigh.
And as he expected, on the lower right side of the wall, there were indeed traces, Ge Yu really tried to leave clues on the wall before he died, but he was already too weakened at that time, and after some scratches, only vague traces were left, and after cutting the wall and carrying these actions, it was impossible to identify at all.
He dodged in, compared, and found with satisfaction that the wall was similar to what he had made.
Gong Yin didn't look at the main hall, his eyes fell on a locked room in the east wing, and he glanced over to see that the intercepted section of the blood wall was indeed in it.
Gong Yin swept away, and looked condescendingly, and sure enough, it was the place where Wang Shizi's body was parked. The news of the murder of the prince has not been leaked, and he must be in the palace for the time being.
Gong Yin carried a section of the wall in one hand, jumped to the top of the hall, scanned the dark and dreary East Palace, and finally determined a place where the lights were dense, where the white candles were miserable and the light was faint under the cold moon.
This is the remote part of the dormitory, few people come, and he does things so meticulously, no one will find out that this wall has been cut off in two pieces in the short term, and if he does, he can't remember why.
After the interception, he did not forget to tie the corpse of the guard to the stone and sink into the lake, and by the way, cut off the branches, so that the thick shade fell, covering the wall of the severed wall.
After doing all this, he turned ice into a sword and completely cut down these two sections of the wall.
Then he went to the other side of the windowsill, and made an identical "blood letter wall" in the same way.
The marks are heavy and then light, and finally almost invisible, and the lines are weak and messy, like the handwriting of a dying man.
After writing, Gong Yin figured out the posture of the corpse, and carved a lotus flower with his fingernails in an inconspicuous place on the lower right side of the windowsill, and wrote a crooked cursive prefix.
It may seem impossible to say, but there are people who have excellent memories and are good at analysis. By looking at Ge Yu's handwriting, he will imitate it, and by the bloody footprints left on the ground, you can determine the height, weight and position of the person who wrote the blood characters on behalf of him, and according to the position of the person at that time, you can determine how big the character he can write.
He obviously hadn't seen the wall with blood characters written on it, but he wrote the four characters "The Queen Killed Me" exactly the same as the blood characters left by Ge Yu, and even the direction of the strokes, the size of the font, and the traces of blood hanging were almost the same.
He writes quickly and naturally, but if Ge Shen or those murderers were there at this time, he would probably be stunned.
Then he put the things back in their place, went out of the hall, went to a place on the other side of the dormitory, under the shaded windowsill, killed the two guards who found him, put the guard's body on the windowsill, and after observing the direction for a while, he dipped the guard's hand and wrote the words "The queen killed me".
He calmly walked to the bookshelf, half of the bookshelf had been burned out, he flipped through the intact half, and soon found a batch of official documents, opened a few copies at random, and looked at the handwritten instructions of Wang Shizi Ge Yu.
Naturally, there was no one in the hall, it had been burned to black, and there was a faint smell of scorched corpses.
Gong Yin was not impatient, he looked at the wall of the wall from afar, took advantage of the interval between the change of guards, went to the window sill again, looked down at those footprints, and then flashed into the hall.
Now that the wall is gone, it is naturally cut off by Ge Shen in its entirety, and kept as evidence against the queen, so as not to send someone to destroy the evidence.
Wang Shizi hung by the window and died, hanging his fingers, if something was written, it would be difficult to find.
Gong Yin frowned slightly, he went straight here, just for this wall.
A quarter of an hour later, he stood on the top of the opposite hall, and looked at the wall of the dormitory opposite, under the window where the legendary prince was half hanged, and now the half of the wall where the words "The Queen killed me" was gone.
He went straight to the East Palace's Wang Shizi's bedroom, which was naturally extremely tightly guarded, but it was still impossible to block him.
And that's just the beginning.
Because he didn't know what was going on, no one dared to go out to investigate, Gong Yin passed all the way through the walls of various mansions, glanced at the chaos below, and the corners of his lips were faint.
The East Palace suddenly changed its guards, sealed it, and a large number of troops entered, which was equivalent to telling the wealthy nobles that something had happened to the royal family.
Several squares near the East Palace, all of which are the areas where the ministers of the court and the central government live, at this time the doors of the houses are closed, and they look even more lifeless than the East Palace, but the busyness of listening to the news everywhere inside, and the anxiety of all kinds of speculations, only the people inside these high walls know.
The East Palace is heavily guarded, and the murder that has just happened is tightly sealed, and not a single leak is allowed. The guards of the East Palace have all been replaced, and the king's guards have been replaced, and from afar, I saw the ironclad army standing densely out of half the street.
At this time, normal people would choose to catch the Ge sisters first, but he went the opposite way and went straight to the East Palace.
He did not walk from the street next to the ring, but walked through the military formation in the opposite direction, away from the direction of the restaurant where the Ge sisters were.
The hour returned to the time when Gong Yin had just swept out of the street.
……
Ji Wen was thinking about whether to desperately jump into the carriage to escape, when suddenly the carriage shook and stopped.
With the hearts of these two women, killing people is necessary.
The breath in the darkness was fine, and the eyes were shining, it was a killing machine that was close at hand.
What she was going to do had been successful, half of her heart was put down, and the other half was lifted.
As long as they dare to make a move, Luoyun will definitely be in chaos, and Ji Wen believes that the queen will definitely find an opportunity from it.
Foxes are naturally greedy, how can they be willing to give up the temptation that is close at hand?
It was in vain that she took the risk of taking out the treasure letter in her hand.
Ge Lian was already moved.
Back then, her second sister, who was defeated by Ling Chi in the rebellion, also had such an expression the night before she started.
The expression was familiar.
Ji Wen's face was also hidden in the darkness, quietly observing Ge Lian's expression. Gradually, a sneer swept across the corners of his lips.
Ge Shao looked at this sister in surprise, she had always thought that Taishan had collapsed and would not change color, but at this moment Ge Lian's expression made her nervous, and quietly wiped the sweat from her palms on the wall of the car.
The light and shadow in the carriage were dim, and her face sank into a gray and black color, only the tip of her nose was faintly white, and the white light gradually began to roll, and it was actually oozing beads of sweat.
Ge Lian quickly turned the treasure letter in his sleeve, and his mind was spinning - Wang Shizi was extremely favored by the king, and he could mobilize 20,000 people in Luoyun City except for the palace guards, as long as he held the treasure seal of the prince. At present, the killing of Wang Shizi has been temporarily blocked by the king, and the news has not yet spread, if he really wants to act, he must solve it quickly......
God doesn't take it, but suffers the blame!
Ge Lian almost laughed out loud - God forbid! She actually ran into it by mistake! This is not the will of God, and what is it?
Ge Lian let out a long "oh", thinking that she had guessed the princess's plan - so she set out a suspicious array and let several groups of people set off with fake treasure letters, but let a little palace maid who seemed to be the most useless carry a real treasure letter, and even if someone noticed, they would not have thought that she was so bold.
"There are three teams of guards for the eldest brother, and the slaves and maids went out of the city separately, but the slaves and maids didn't know what they were carrying."
"Such an important thing, leave it to you to send out of the city alone?" Ge Lian's eyes flashed.
"The slave maid doesn't know what this is...... Ji Wen said in a trembling voice, "It's the princess Feige who passed the book, and ordered the slave maid to go somewhere in the east palace quickly, take out this box, and secretly go out of the city to give it to her......"
Ge Shao looked at the box greedily on the side, seeing that Ge Lian was hidden in her sleeve, and she was reluctant to even look at her, and her face changed slightly.
"Why do you have this thing......" Ge Lian held the box tightly, breathing heavily.
As for the consequences of taking out her world daughter seal, she can't care so much, being in a foreign country, and Yeluqi all the way to depend on each other, there is nothing at this moment, more important than Yeluqi's safety.
So she's not afraid of being discovered.
Of course, the seal in the treasure letter is different from the seal of Luoyun Shizi, but the opening of the treasure letter is skillful, and she bets that the sisters don't know. In fact, the gems on this treasure letter were made and distributed by Her Majesty the Founding Empress, and the gems used were all gems in the same rough stone, and each size was exquisite, and no one dared to imitate it at all.
After returning from the Shang Kingdom, because of her good performance in the Shang Kingdom, she has been designated as the royal daughter of the Queen of the Ji Kingdom. Because the women competed for the throne, and the queen was sick and weak for a long time, in order to avoid accidents, the queen gave her the seal of the world in advance.
Of course, Baohan is not Ge Yu's, it is hers.
Only this treasure letter is true, otherwise it will not be enough to deceive these two treacherous women.
It's all a play.
Ji Wen's lowered eyes flashed a treacherous smile.
So they were so shocked that they couldn't speak up.
So the Ge sisters knew the truth at a glance.
This is the common sense that all the children of the royal family of the six countries and eight tribes must know since they were enlightened, and in those royal laws, the shape and pattern of the treasure letter are also clear. Although only one person owns it, all the children of the royal family know each other.
The treasure box is round and square, symbolizing the meaning of the heaven and the earth, the outer circle of topaz to show the great wilderness and the thick soil swamp, the inner circle of the hexagonal inlay with six rubies, to show the glory of the six countries, and the innermost octagonal ridge inlaid with eight emeralds to show the vitality of the eight parts. In the center is the topographic map of Dige, inlaid with a huge obsidian to show that the queen is like the sky, lustrous in all directions.
The founding queen of the Yuan Dynasty three years, the eldest son as the crown prince, at that time with purple gold as the box, inlaid with nine-colored gemstones, heavy brocade for the inside, memory of sheep fat jade prince seal. The jade crown of the prince in front of the jade palace is in a gown, with nine coats of arms, and he receives the seal from the empress after kneeling three times and knocking nine times. Since then, the eight parts of the six countries of the Great Wilderness have all made heirs to save the treasure box according to this.
"Jizong Treasure Letter", as the name suggests, is a treasure letter that stores the seal that can inherit the position of the great treasure, and in the Great Wilderness, it generally refers to the special box that stores the treasure seal of the prince of the king.
Coco Ji lowered her head.
Ge Shao directly forgot about killing people and killing people, stared at the box, and couldn't speak.
This voice is no longer her usual calm smile, and even her voice has changed slightly.
Ge Lian threw the murder to Ge Shao in a word, picked up the box by herself, held it in her hand and was stunned, and said in a lost voice: "Jizong Baohan"?
Ji Wen's heart was cold, and she bit her lip silently.
Ge Shao didn't care, but at this moment, he couldn't help but glance at Ji Wen, and the jealousy and murderous aura in his eyes flashed.
"Click", a small box rolled to the ground, and when it landed, it flashed, Ji Wen rushed over to grab it, Ge Shao slapped her back, Ge Lian raised her foot, stepped on the thing, and said with a smile: "My sister carefully scratched the beauty's face." ”
Ji Wen was startled, and immediately reached out to take out the placket of her clothes, Ge Shao suddenly leaned over, grabbed her wrist with her hand, pulled it outward, and said with a smile: "What good things are hidden, show them to the palace." ”
Ji Wen trembled and got up, Ge Lian sat again, Ji Wen carefully sat down with half of her buttocks, and before she could sit firmly, she suddenly heard Ge Lian say: "Your clothes are loose." ”
Ge Lian smiled slightly, motioned for Ge Shao to let go of her feet, and said gently: "We are close friends with your princess, how can it be difficult for you to get up and speak." ”
"Ah, yes......" Ji Wen replied subconsciously, and then woke up and hurriedly changed his words, "Ah, no......"
This change happened to be in Ge Lian's eyes, and he verified his guess even more, and said slowly: "Look at the direction you are traveling, it seems that you are going out of the city, are you going out of the city to send something to the princess?" ”
Ge Lian's eyes glanced coldly, and Ge Shao was shocked and speechless, and turned his head silently. Ji Wen's face changed just right.
Ge Shao sneered, "The people in the East Palace have all died, and they still have the heart to buy!" ”
Ji Wen opened her mouth to answer, but suddenly lowered her head with a look of vigilance, and said, "The slave maid was ordered to come out to buy ......."
The two didn't answer, Ge Shao's shoes pressed on Ji Wen's knees, pressing her so hard that she couldn't get up, and said leisurely: "Ah Wen, right, you don't go to serve your princess, what are you doing sneakily here?" ”
Ji Wen's eyes widened in horror, and after identifying it for a long time, she hesitated and said, "Princess Lian? Princess Peony? ”
The secret door of the carriage window was pulled down suddenly, and there was a crisp sound, and then the car sped away, and someone in the darkness smiled lightly and said, "Don't shout, save some strength and wait for the question." ”
Ji Wen was caught off guard, let out an exclamation, and as soon as she opened her mouth, her mouth was covered by a pair of cold hands.
The coachman stretched out his arm suddenly, grabbed Ji Min, who was walking under the car, and threw it into the carriage quickly.
The two girls hurriedly went downstairs, got into the carriage, lowered the curtain, and followed Ji Wen slowly all the way. When Ji Wen walked to the side of a narrow alley, Ge Lian's carriage was driving beside her, blocking the view of pedestrians on the street outside, and there was no one in the alley, Ge Lian shouted: "Go! ”
Ge Lian immediately said, "Follow up." ”
The two women stared at her silently, watched her walk for a while, and found that there were all soldiers in front of her, unable to advance, and finally sighed, with a look of disappointment on their faces, and slowly pressed something in their arms, and walked back.
At this time, the two saw Ji Wen, who was hiding and walking on the street downstairs opposite, because at this time the soldiers locked the street, and almost no one was walking on the street, Ji Wen looked panicked, as if he didn't expect that there were so many soldiers here, hiding their whereabouts along the way, and constantly dodging under the eaves and signboards of the store downstairs.
When the two visited Wang Shizi, Ji Wen once sent the two to the second gate as the princess's maid. People like Ji Wen, even if they have cloth skirts, will be carefully looked at by the minifigures, especially women, who have a natural sensitivity and memory for beautiful women.
Ge Shao also recognized it and said, "It's that Awen." ”
Ge Lian was just about to leave, when her eyes turned, and she suddenly said "Huh", "This is not the maid from the East Palace?" How did you suddenly appear here at this time? ”
But as long as you think of a little more way, the fire will always ignite.
Ge Shen is thoughtful, and the queen is not reckless and stupid, this killing really didn't work out.
Although I really hope that the queen and Ge Shen will start a fight, it is best that one is shot to death by the rebels, and the other is killed by the masters around the queen, both of them are injured, and they are cheap to pick it up. But the two princesses, who have been playing games and surviving in the court and wealthy families since childhood, understand very well that the more kings are, the more taboo they avoid bloodshed. The sons of daughters can't sit still, and they prefer to use tricks instead of killing.
On the tall building next to the ring, the Ge sisters looked at the successful negotiation below, and did not show disappointment, but just sneered, raised the high collar of the cloak, blocked their faces, and prepared to go downstairs.
