Feng Luotang dragged Shao Yi through the crowd, listening to some gossip everywhere, which satisfied her gossip psychology.

After a banquet, the two gradually understood the position of the courtiers, and also learned a lot of unthinkable palace insiders.

Finally, at the end of the song, the people dispersed, and the monarchs and ministers went home separately.

Feng Luotang and Shao Yi followed Gongzi Jia, who was drunk and supported by several people, to Jingming Palace.

The heavy palace door creaked shut, Gongzi Jia waved away his entourage, only supported by Lin Yu, accompanied by Long Xuanchen, and entered the back hall.

To Feng Luotang and Shao Yi's surprise, as soon as the door of the dormitory was closed, Gongzijia instantly came back to life full of blood.

His vision was clear, his steps were no longer vain, and while walking forward with a firm pace, he asked Long Xuanchen next to him: "Where is that woman?" ”

In a corner of the main hall, everyone looked at the woman lying on the ground.

The dancing girl had already died of anger, and there was no longer the slightest enchantment in her body. Her whole body was already black and purple, and her gray skin made her look like lifeless wood and stone.

Long Xuanchen leaned down and looked carefully at the already stiff corpse, and saw that pink blood foam was flowing from the corpse's mouth, and dark purple corpse spots were all over his body.

The signs of poisoning are obvious.

"Look at the woman's bleeding teeth and the dark purple-red corpse spots on her back. Obviously like cholinergosis. This is a poison that kills people in a matter of minutes in modern times. Long Xuanchen whispered to Lin Yu.

Feng Luotang, who was behind him, once again expressed his admiration for Xueba in a timely manner: "Brother Hei is so good!" ”

Long Xuanchen and Lin Yu were really taken aback. Lin Yu said to the place where he couldn't see people: "Frightened people will also die!" Don't talk. ”

"This looks like a poison from Shu called Meiren Zombie. This poison kills people within ten steps, and there is no time to cure them. Childe Jia came over and looked at it for a while, and said uncertainly.

"How could such a powerful poison appear at a palace banquet?" Childe Jia said slowly.

"Could it be the handiwork of Yang Du Ge?" Long Xuanchen said.

"Recently, Qin and Zhao have started a war, and no Qin envoy has come to Zhaodu. I am afraid that this matter needs to be investigated in detail. Lin Yu said thoughtfully.

"Childe, please take a look." Lin Yu turned the woman over.

Childe Jia saw a clear tattoo on the back of her neck. The pattern is a peacock's tail feather, with three circles tangent to the center and feathers outside.

"Does anyone recognize this sign?" Childe asked. Several people stepped forward to take a closer look, but no one recognized them.

Feng Luotang was a little absent-minded. "This girl is so pathetic. She's about my age. Just died. Feng Luotang said faintly and sighed.

"This era is very different from ours. She is so old, I am afraid that she has been training for many years before she can take on this assassination mission. Shao Yi said.

He didn't know how to comfort Feng Luotang, so he had to say: "But if she succeeds, wouldn't it be a pity for Gongzi Jia to die?" ”

"It seems that Childe Jia has been targeted by the killer. But the only people who can really get close to him are probably the people around King Zhao. ”

The two of them were about to step forward to take a closer look at the sign, when they suddenly felt a strong wind rise from the ground, and Gongsun Zhi and Long Chen, who had been taken away, covered their heads with their hands and fell into a violent headache.

Lin Yu saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly shouted to the three of them to quickly recite the dream mantra, retreated first, and left the world of Jingming Palace.

An alarm sound, an old English song to be precise, woke Feng Luotang from his ontology.

Feng Luotang woke up and looked at the quartz clock next to him, it was only half past six in the morning.

In the morning light of early summer, Feng Luotang quietly felt the happiness of returning to reality.

Tranquility, tranquility, and most importantly, a warm sense of security make Feng Luotang feel that the real world is still extremely powerful.

Mom was already up, and the aroma of fried eggs and fried rice wafted in through the cracks under the bedroom door with the rattle of the kitchen ritz.

Feng Luotang picked up his mobile phone and dialed Shao Yi directly. The bell barely rang for the first time, and Shao Yi answered.

"Morning, soup." Shao Yi's cynical voice came lazily.

Feng Luotang did not speak.

"What's the matter, tired?" Shao Yi's voice was a little more concerned.

"It's tired. Tired! I've never felt so tired as I am now!" Feng Luotang said somewhat indignantly: "There are too many things to do. Let's go to the Sheng family compound after school today. ”

She paused, then added, "Looks like we're going to have to plan a bit." Gongzi Jia's matter is in trouble, and it's in big trouble!"

"The dancing girl, the last time she looked in this direction." Lin Yu pointed to a picture on the table that had drawn the seats for the banquet that night.

There were only five people sitting in that direction. Marquis Chunping, Empress Dowager Chang, Zhao Wangqian, Guo Kai, and King Zhao's new queen, Ah Mei.

"These five people should all have motives when it comes to talking." Feng Luotang frowned slightly and said.

"Not really." Long Xuanchen said: "For example, Zhao Wangqian. As soon as he ascended the throne, would he kill Gongzi Jia, who did not show any covetousness for the throne at all? What's more, Gongzi Jia has a group of old ministers behind him. In order to secure this throne, shouldn't he assassinate Gongzi Jia at this time. ”

"Yes, Guo Kai has no motive in this way." Shao Yi also said thoughtfully: "Didn't he just want to engage in a so-called political alliance with Gongzi Jia, which is mutually beneficial." There is no reason why he just gave a big dumpling and killed the person who ate the dumpling. The key is that even if Gongzijia dies, this big fragrant dumpling cannot be returned to him with certainty. ”

"Empress Dowager Chang and Marquis Chun Ping should be wearing a pair of pants. At this time, if the two of them join forces to kill Gongzi Jia, it should be unfavorable to the curtain they have just made. So their motivation is not very strong. Long Xuanchen continued to analyze.

"As for this Ah Mei, we don't know anything about it. What kind of person is she? Does this assassination have anything to do with her? We don't know anything. Lin Yu analyzed.

"Wait. Your analysis of motivation is based entirely on the premise that they are normal human minds. Who can be sure that they won't have weird ideas, that they won't do crazy and incredible things? ”

The four fell silent.

"So let's take a look at the technical aspects first." Lin Yu broke the dullness.

"Okay, then let's take a look at the dancing girl and how she put the poison into Gongzi Jia's wine."

"First of all, she is on stage for almost every dance. There is a premise here, that is, all singers and dancers, and musicians have all been strictly searched. Theoretically, she didn't have a chance to bring the poison into the scene. ”

"The second premise is that because she is on the stage for every dance, she can only leave here in the middle of the dance to get the poison."

"There are less than three minutes between each dance. It takes two minutes to retreat to the entrance of the promenade fifteen meters away; It takes at least four minutes to cross the promenade, which is about a hundred meters over. There is a sentry post on the promenade three steps, and it is impossible to stay or obtain poison. But it takes at least eight minutes to go back and forth, and back in line, for at least twelve minutes. So,"

Lin Yu's steady and unwavering voice paused: "There is only one chance in the audience, and it only happened once, that is, when the master of ceremonies read the royal edict. At that time, all the dancing girls quit the dance floor and retreated to the outside of the main hall. ”

"They changed their costumes for the dance once during that time. If you want to get poison, you have to do it. ”

"Yes. I've heard that the lead dancers once passed out, causing a small fluctuation. Have you noticed that the best dancer among them is the one with a huge and beautiful body? It is said that she is the most famous dancing girl invited by King Zhao for a lot of money. Feng Luotang said.

"Everyone said that she was not from Zhao Guo. According to the current concept, it should be regarded as an international superstar. These are still the gossip that the young master and I listened to from other people's wine tables. ”

"Gongzijia didn't say that Zhao Guo definitely didn't have that poison. Will international superstars be poisoned? ”

"Let's analyze and analyze, it's better to check it directly in person. Let's get to know the background of Queen Amei. Lin Yu said.

This reminded Feng Luotang of some strange things he had heard about Queen Ah Mei from Fan Qiu, so he told everyone.

"Send me, send me. Should I go and see the first lady of Zhao first, what secrets are there? Feng Luotang said gossip, and almost confessed directly, "I'm willing to listen to the corner, I'm willing to go!" ”

"And the sudden wind blowing, it's so strange!" Lin Yu was not interrupted by Feng Luotang's eagerness, "This can only show one problem, in this palace of King Zhao, there are people who don't like to see us, and there are people who want to destroy Gongzi Jia." ”

"Say a thousand things and ten thousand, we still have to find out for ourselves." Lin Yu made a decision: "In this way, I and Xuan Chen are in charge of the Empress Dowager Chang's palace, and Shao Yi and Luo Tang are in charge of Queen Amei." Let's set off immediately tonight and gather in the apse of Jingming Palace in the early hours of the morning. ”

After Lin Yu briefly explained these words, several people stopped being verbose, cleaned up and left the Sheng family compound.

On the way back, it was Lin Yu's military vehicle to see everyone off.

Feng Luotang leaned on the back seat and didn't say a word. Shao Yi looked at her a little strangely, and asked, "Why are there so few words at this time?" ”

Feng Luotang didn't turn his head, and said softly: "The things we encountered are getting more and more complicated. The dream is getting heavier and heavier. I don't know what else will follow. I always have a very bad feeling, and my heart is hairy. ”

Shao Yi patted her shoulder and said with relief: "It's okay, everything is with me." ”

If time and space can be folded to infinitely close, then Feng Luotang's uneasiness must come from the lights that suddenly turned on in the daytime in the fire escape of her apartment building.

In the otherwise dark staircase passage, two heavily armed men were moving rapidly upwards with very light steps.

They wore black training uniforms, and the front of their metal helmets was a fully reflective glass visor.

The man has a special field carbon crossbow in each hand, equipped with a laser scope, which can control the shooting accuracy to within two centimeters at 150 meters.

The kinetic energy of such a crossbow arrow can reach one hundred and twenty joules, which can instantly penetrate ordinary body armor.

This is a truly lethal piece of top-of-the-line equipment that kills instantly and silently.

The two men moved quickly, but at the corner of the staircase, the slight noise made by the heels of their leather boots rubbing against the staircase wall made the very sensitive voice-activated corridor lights on.

They froze, then thrust upwards more quickly, trying not to make any sound.

Feng Luotang's parents were preparing dinner together in the kitchen at this time.

Because the baby daughter said that she wanted to eat "the same shrimp dumplings as 'Jin Ding Xuan'", the husband and wife were concentrating on peeling the prawns.

Although the two of them cook with the same precision as scientists do experiments.

Weight scales, balances, scoops and cups of all sizes, as well as analysers to check and analyze the elemental content of food at any time, are all spread out on the spacious countertop of the kitchen.

The state of mind of the two husbands and wives at this time is like that of ordinary men and women, and they are completely unaware of the approaching danger.

In the evening, several people rushed to the palace of King Zhao.

Lin Yu and Long Xuanchen went to the palace where Empress Dowager Chang lived. And Shao Yi and Feng Luotang searched all the way to Yingqian's dormitory.

After Ah Mei was canonized as the queen, the palace where she lived was Yuxiang Palace, which was also the newest and most luxurious palace in the entire Zhao Palace.

The cloisters of the palace are lit with candles. Rows of beautifully dressed slaves and concubines walked by, respectful and humble.

The palace guards with golden armor and golden helmets are three people and one post, and five people are one sentry, which makes this palace tightly encircled, which fully reflects the dignity of the master.

Shao Yi and Feng Luotang walked for a long time, passed through the corridor, and finally came to Queen Amei's bedroom.

At this time, it has long passed the time of the palm lamp, and the candles in the hall have been burned more than half, and the candles are hanging in tears, but they are still shining brightly, illuminating the hall.

Ah Mei has taken off her daytime dress, and is only wearing a light long skirt with her, which looks more beautiful and lovely than usual.

Ying Qian is playing with a flute, jogging down his newfound rhythm as he blows.

Mei served refreshments on the side, sometimes giving soft advice and helping Ying Qian correct his record.

It seems that the two are really harmonious, the husband sings and the wife follows, a good couple of intimate and intimate little couples, sweet and sweet little couple.

At this time, a eunuch outside came to report, saying that Guo Kai and Guo Xiangye had something important to report to the king.

Boss Yingqian reluctantly put down the bamboo flute, and muttered to Ah Mei: "Yaxing, who always disturbs others, can't say anything tomorrow." It's annoying! ”

Ah Mei gently persuaded her: "The king should put state affairs first. When the Father-in-law comes at this time, there must be something important. Please also move to the front hall. ”

Ying Qian reluctantly left, followed by a group of maidservant attendants.

In the spacious dormitory, only Ah Mei and a few servants remained. Fan Qiu also knelt beside her, sorting out the clothes she wore during the day for Ah Mei.

I saw Ah Mei trim her makeup, and said plainly and indifferently: "You all go down." ”

Fan Qiu led the other concubines and servants to salute and leave the palace together.

Shao Yi and Feng Luotang stood by the door silently. Especially Feng Luotang, with a "curious baby" look, staring intently with round eyes.

I saw Ah Mei comb her waist-length hair twice, suddenly stood up, and walked towards the window.

The moonlight from the window came in, projecting the window into a bright shadow in a boxy area, shining on the ground.

Mei walked over to the shadow, took out a handful of things that I don't know what it was, and scattered it around, and her body disappeared in the moonlight.

"This is too weird!" Feng Luotang said. She rushed over and lay on the ground and touched it, it was a fine layer of white powder.

Shao Yi dipped some powder in his hands, twisted it with his fingers, and gently licked it with his tongue, saying, "It's salt, a lot of salt." ”

The two of them waited for the rabbit in this dormitory again.

After about a stick of incense, I saw Ah Mei suddenly appear from the place where she disappeared.

She swept her hand through the air, and the fine salt flew up like dust, and she took it back.

At this moment, the sound of breaking the sky sounded. When a figure flew in, a cold and sharp voice said outside the window: "You stop me, I haven't said to let you go yet!" ”
