After repeated sorting and interrogation, the Guangdong Prosecutor's Office, the Guangzhou Police General Office, and the Guangzhou Jinyi Wei Yamen compiled the information obtained from the papers and the confessions they had received from the questions into a document and sent it to Yun Xi three days later.

"Your Majesty, all the fine works sent by Samarkand in the entire Bao'an City have been arrested, and the Ming people who have taken refuge in Samarkand have also been imprisoned." Li Shuli, the envoy of Guangdong, gritted his teeth and said: "There are more than a dozen Ming people who have taken refuge in Samarkand, and there are nine people with lustful eyes, which is really shameful!" ”

Of course he would be angry. Not only because of the concept of loyalty, but also because he had fallen into evil magic before. It was a witchcraft, and he almost died! He is only in his early forties this year, which is the best age for an official, and now he is the envoy of the third grade, and he still wants to go to the capital to be the palm seal official of the yamen around the age of fifty.

"What a man without a king and a father, and a man who rebels against human morality! Your Majesty, these traitors must also be put to death. Hearing Li Shuli's words, Chen Ji said, and the others immediately responded.

Yun Xi himself didn't pay much attention to what Li Shuli said just now. Which country or nation does not have a few scum? What's more, this is still an era when the concept of the nation-state has not yet been formed, and it is not worth making a fuss about a few such people, just deal with them in accordance with the "Da Ming Law".

He carefully looked at the news gathered in front of him, and said to himself in a voice that no one could hear: "Two months ago, no, today is the first day of the first month of November, and the news more than three months ago, Timur originally fought a war with the Ottoman state in this place called Anatolia, and after winning the war, he had returned to Samarkand with his troops? ”

"And the reason why he withdrew his troops so quickly was because I canonized the vassal king in the northwest, and I tried to win over the two kingdoms in the northwest, Yili and Warat, and he returned to Samarkand in advance in order to prepare for the future war against the Ming Dynasty?"

Yun Xi really didn't expect that the butterfly effect brought by his actions would affect such a distant place now.

Historically, Timur went on an expedition in the second half of 1404 AD, and died the following year before he reached Yili, after which his sons divided the country he had founded, and it was not until the time of his grandson Ulugh Beg that the unification was almost complete and the country was re-established. However, this power did not last long, and the rise of the Uzbeks gradually moved south, and the descendants of Timur had to go south, and finally established the Mughal Empire in India. ’

Timur returned from Anatolia in July of this year, and could return to Samarkand at the latest early next year, where he could repair his days and raise food for the troops, which would be ready in the second half of 1403. a full year ahead of history; Even if he didn't want to march in the ice and snow, he could send troops at the beginning of 1404, how could he fight Yili in the summer of that year, and then the Ming Dynasty would also have to send troops, so that a battle with Timur would be inevitable. ’

Yun Xi couldn't cry or laugh a little. He did not have to fight Timur to the death, but only to be prepared; But his prepared actions produced a butterfly effect, and a war with Timur was almost inevitable.

Not only that, because Timur did not destroy other armies except for the main army led by the Ottoman emperor, the strength of the Ottoman State was not greatly lost, and after the person who reunited the Ottoman State in history completed the unification, the Ottomans would be able to send troops to the Balkans and other places faster, and the Eastern Roman Empire was likely to fall earlier. It is difficult to say whether it will lead to changes in the course of history in the entire Western world, but it is estimated that the course of history in Anatolia, the Balkans, and the Celestial Regions will change considerably. Although Yun Xi had already begun to influence the historical course of the Eastern world, he actually did not intend to influence the historical course of the Western world.

"If I knew this would have happened, I wouldn't have done these things." Yun Xi said to himself with a little remorse.

His words were a little louder, and when the surrounding ministers heard them, they immediately asked, "What instructions does Your Majesty have?" ”

"Nothing." Yun Xi said: "All the captured Samarkand and Han people who took refuge in them were all dealt with in accordance with the "Da Ming Law", and those who took refuge in them were no exception. ”

Some people present were not very satisfied with this, and said a few more words, but they were rejected by Yunxi and could only accept it.

After Li Shuli finished talking about these people, he asked, "Your Majesty, when will you deal with these people who are involved in the case of harvesting and cutting and witch Gu cases?" "These people must have been the result of the pardon of the principal offender, the beheading of the accomplice, the coercion of exile, and the pardon of a small number of unwitting accomplices' families or young people.

Yun Xi pondered for a long time and said: "Publicize the facts of the case of the excision case, announce the criminals, and pick out the neat corpses for the people to recognize; It was announced that Gao Jingde, the head of the Gao family, was one of the masterminds behind the Caisheng torture case, and this case was also inseparable from the Wu Gu case. ”

"He claims to have caught the wizard who performs the evil spell, but this person has been refusing to confess to the mastermind behind him since he has mana, and he is still interrogating."

"The masters of the temples in Guangzhou were ordered to calculate the appropriate day, Ning Cai and other main culprits in the Caisheng and mutilation case were executed Ling Chi, Mei Yi and others who harbored Ning Cai were beheaded, and the rest were exiled to the northwest; In order to be able to ask the mastermind behind the witch Gu case, the perpetrators of the witch Gu case will not be dealt with for the time being, and will be dealt with together after the matter is interrogated. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Shuli, Qian Minglin and others agreed. They didn't understand why Yoon-hee did it, but they didn't need to figure it out, they just did it.

"In addition, a public trial will be held, and all the perpetrators of the Caisheng and Torture case will be sent to the court, and the people will be allowed to observe. However, it is important to control the situation at the scene, and not allow people to break into the public court and kill the criminals. Yun Xi instructed again.

Li Shuli just thought that Yun Xixiang wanted the people to know how hateful these people who harvested and tortured were; As for not letting the people kill the criminals, it was because they didn't want to be too cheap for them, so they agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

This is indeed one of Yun Xi's purposes, but there is a purpose behind this purpose, which is not something that Li Shuli can guess.

"In this interrogation, you will be the presiding judge. Yang Ren, you go back and instruct you to set up the political envoy Yamen and the people of the Guangzhou Prefecture Yamen, and all officials are not allowed to appear in the interrogation court. ”

Everyone knows that Yun Xi is trying to promote the 'independence of questioning' that he mentioned. It was not long before Yunxi implemented the system of having special officials in charge of trying cases and special officials being responsible for arresting prisoners, and many people still went to the prefecture and county yamen to file complaints, and the prefect and the prefect had to send people to the general judgment who was specifically responsible for adjudicating the case.

After saying this, Li Shuli and the others had nothing to report, so they bowed down and retreated; Qian Minglin, who came with him as a background cloth for a long time, was about to step down, but was suddenly stopped by Yun Xi and said that there was still something to ask.

After a while, everyone else retreated, and Yun Xi hurriedly asked him, "Is Wu De willing to unravel the evil art for Concubine Hui?" ”

"Your Majesty, Na Oude is now very self-reproachful because of the fact that he was confessed by a spell, if it weren't for the strict estimation of the prison guards, he would have committed suicide, and he was unwilling to unravel the evil art for Concubine Hui." Qian Minglin replied.

"Hey, this." Yun Xi sighed. Xiyi has been in a coma for seven or eight days, and she still hasn't woken up, although she hangs her life with tonic and porridge every day, and it seems that her life is fine, but she can't do it for a lifetime? After he returned to the capital, how did he explain to Xiyao and those children?

"Let Zhang Zhenren unravel the evil spell for Concubine Hui after casting a spell on him and knowing how to unravel the evil spirit?" Yun Xi suddenly thought of this method and asked.

"Your Majesty, the minister has already thought of this method before, and I also asked Wudang to send Zhang Zhenren to see it; But after Zhang Zhenren saw it, he said that the spell that this Oude wizard used to unlock his evil art turned out to be the same as his, and he needed the person who was in the evil art to be in good health before he could use it, otherwise he would have to worry about his life. So I didn't dare to tell Your Majesty. Qian Minglin said.

"This," Yun Xi hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "It's better sooner rather than later, the more you drag it out, the less likely it is to unlock the evil arts; Besides, I looked at Concubine Hui's body and was fine now. After you step back, immediately go to Zhang Zhenren's courtyard and spread that Zhang Zhenren will go to Concubine Hui's courtyard and immediately cast a spell to unlock the evil magic on her! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qian Minglin agreed, and seeing that Yunxi had no other instructions, he bowed down and retreated.

Yun Xi put down the paperwork in his hand and wrote a few sentences on it, all of which he had just thought of about how to deal with the witch case and the strategy of dealing with Timur.

But his handwriting was very sloppy, and at first glance it was written by a very anxious person. After Yun Xi finished writing this sentence, he hurriedly read it to make sure that he could understand the text, so he put on his coat and walked towards Xiyi's courtyard.

When he arrived at Xiyi's courtyard, Zhang Sanfeng and Li Sha'er had already come over, Zhang Sanfeng was instructing the little eunuch to prepare something, Li Sha'er stood aside and listened, if there was anything that Xiyi's people couldn't prepare, he immediately ordered other people to prepare.

When everyone saw Yun Xi coming over and bowing, Yun Xi waved his hand casually, and immediately asked after Zhang Sanfeng finished his order: "Zhang Zhenren, how sure are you that you can wake her up?" ”

Zhang Sanfeng first stood up and saluted him, and then said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, Concubine Hui's face is fine today, and just now the poor Dao Vein also felt that Niangniang's body is in good condition. ”

"But Your Majesty, things like spells are very mysterious, and Poor Dao didn't dare to say that he spied on the real mystery, so he didn't dare to pack the ticket, at most he was only fifty percent sure."

Zhang Sanfeng said very cautiously, and he couldn't be cautious. To tell the truth, he was reluctant to do this: if he could save Concubine Hui, even if she woke up very weak, it would be nothing; But if she can't be saved, the consequences are unpredictable.

His Majesty seems to be very fond of Concubine Hui, and the moment he knows the result, he may be in extreme emotions, and he may treat himself and the Wudang faction. He himself is not afraid of death, but if he is implicated in something with the Wudang faction, he will regret it. But His Majesty has an order, and he doesn't dare to shirk it, so he can only take it.

Yun Xi heard him say that he was only fifty percent sure, and suddenly hesitated. This is a bit low, and there is a half chance that it will not be saved.

He walked around the house a few times, but still couldn't decide. At this time, he looked sideways at Xiyi who was lying on the bed, and saw that her face still showed a painful expression from time to time, and he immediately made up his mind: "I have already decided, Zhang Zhenren, you cast a spell on Concubine Hui to wake her up." Zhang Zhenren, you don't have to have any worries, I know that life and death are fateful, and sometimes it is not human power that can be reversed, even if Concubine Hui can't wake up, I will definitely not blame you or the Wudang faction. ”

When Zhang Sanfeng heard this, he understood that Yun Xi had indeed made up his mind, so he didn't say anything anymore and made serious preparations.

After a while, the rice porridge and nourishing medicine ordered by Zhang Sanfeng had been prepared, and Zhang Sanfeng repeatedly confirmed that the medicinal properties of the tonic were not strong, and instructed the people present not to make a sound or interfere with him in casting spells, before he began to cast spells.

He first helped Xiyi up, turned his back to him, took out a few needles from the medicine bag he was carrying, and stabbed several acupuncture points on Xiyi's body.

But Xiyi's body didn't react.

Zhang Sanfeng increased his strength, changed a few acupuncture points, and pricked again, but she still had no reaction.

Zhang Sanfeng himself had begun to sweat on his forehead at this time, but he forced himself to calm down, turned her around again, took out a needle and pricked the acupuncture points on her predecessor. Because now he is casting a spell on a woman, or the emperor's woman, so at first he just stabbed the acupuncture points on his back in order to avoid suspicion; But now only the acupuncture points behind him can't wake up Xiyi's body, so he can only use the acupuncture points in front of him.

This time, Xiyi's body reacted and moved like Yunxi at that time.

Yun Xi immediately became happy and wanted to scream, but then remembered Zhang Sanfeng's instructions and hurriedly covered his mouth; Several other people present also looked happy, and they almost cried with joy in early spring.

But it turned out that they were happy early, because Zhang Sanfeng's attempt to use the "Golden Light Curse" to awaken Xiyi's soul was unsuccessful, and she was not awakened.

Zhang Sanfeng reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and began to prick Xiyi's acupuncture points with silver needles again, waiting until her body reacted again and used the "Golden Light Mantra" again. This set of spells must be reacted by the body before the soul can be awakened, and if a spell is unsuccessful, it must be repeated from the beginning, so Zhang Sanfeng can only do this.

I don't know how many times he cast the 'spell', Yun Xi, who was standing on the side, was sweating nervously, and the placket of his shirt was completely wet with sweat dripping from his chin, but he was still unwilling to sit down and rest, and stood straight to watch Zhang Sanfeng cast the spell.

Finally, in the 'spell casting', Xiyi heard Zhang Sanfeng's spell, opened her mouth and recited it with him. After a while, her eyes also opened, and she was awakened by Zhang Sanfeng.
