"Just the right time, no more, no less......"

Gu Xi smiled bitterly, stood up with his body bold, raised his foot and kicked Yue Sanwolf's corpse twice, and then put his finger on the tip of his nose to confirm that he was not breathing, and then took a breath.

Fortunately......

Xin Hao's poison worked at a critical moment!

When he fought with Yue Sanwolf before, the dart that he had quenched with a hundred kinds of poison had slashed Yue Sanwolf's cheek.

This poison enters the body, but it goes straight to the heart!

"After dragging on for so long, it seems that the vitality of a cultivator in the middle stage of body refining is much stronger than that of ordinary fierce beasts. Gu Xi sat cross-legged and stopped the bleeding wound.

You must know that this poison was specially brought out by Gu Xi from the Great Wilderness to prepare for future troubles, and ordinary fierce beasts will fall to the ground in less than a cup of tea.

And a wild man like Yue Sanwolf lasted for half an hour, which shows that his vitality is tenacious.

After the wound stopped, Gu Xi turned over Yue Sanwolf's corpse, only to find that this person was unrecognizable, and his entire face had begun to fester.

In this scene, Gu Xi's belly turned upside down.

Holding back the sour taste in his throat, Gu Xi cautiously stretched out his hand and carefully groped for the corpse.

After a while, Gu Xi found a few things on the corpse of Yue Sanwolf, among which there were a few taels of gold and silver that were very conspicuous, although Gu Xi was not short of money, but he still reluctantly stuffed things into his pocket in line with the principle that more money did not weigh down.

Since it was a spy sent by the Chen family to the Yue family, did this person still hide any secret letters or anything like that in his package?

Thinking like this, Gu Xi began to rummage through Yue Sanwolf's package, but in the end, there were only a few clothes.

"Alas, it seems that the Chen family is not stupid, if the secret letter used to communicate is hidden on Yue Sanwolf's side, once his identity is exposed, the Chen family will also be implicated. Gu Xi thought secretly.

Then, Gu Xi chopped some haystacks with a dagger, placed them on Yue Sanwolf's corpse, and sprinkled some powder to cover his breath.

He was now in the depths of Qianli Mountain, and the smell of blood would inevitably provoke wolves or fierce beasts, although he stopped the bleeding wounds, his body was still disordered.

Therefore, even if Gu Xi encounters a fierce beast now, I am afraid it is not particularly easy to get out.

No matter what, Gu Xi chose to stay away from this place first, find a secluded place to recover from his injuries, and then return to the capital.

......

The capital, above the imperial court.

Seeing Liang Chen wearing an imperial robe and coming to the Jinluan Palace, all the courtiers knelt down and saluted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Liang Chen walked to the dragon chair with an expressionless face, looked at the kneeling courtiers, and said slowly, "Flatten." ”

After standing up, everyone didn't hear the familiar voice of the eunuch before: "Something to start, nothing to retreat!"

Today is different from the past, all the ministers of the previous dynasty are trembling, and the cold sweat behind them is continuous, and even the civil and military officials who dozed off in the previous court are a hundred times more energetic than usual.

There is no other reason, yesterday the Shangshu family of the Criminal Department died in the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, even with two officials.

The emperor has long strictly forbidden killing people in the capital, and now more than ten years have passed, at least no one dares to be so presumptuous on the surface, but today's actions are tantamount to slapping the emperor in the face.

Murder in the capital is an unforgivable crime, and he also killed important ministers and two officials of the court, and it is a big crime to punish the nine clans after being caught.

"I have been on the throne since I was a child, and I have been sitting on this chair for decades," Liang Chen sat on the dragon chair, his sharp gaze sweeping over the ministers, "I know that some people are not convinced!"

"You usually make small moves under my nose, but today's incident, I must investigate to the end in order to boost the prestige of my Lan country!" Liang Chen's voice spread throughout the entire Jinluan Palace, and his words carried the momentum of looking down on the world.

The emperor is mighty and inviolable!

"Ladies Aiqing, tell me, what do you think of the matter of the Criminal Department's Shangshu?" Liang Chen continued.

The ministers in the court, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do for a while, but now the emperor is angry, if what he says makes the emperor unhappy, then it will be a big trouble.

After discussing for a while, an old man dressed in court clothes and gray hair walked out of the crowd and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, according to the old minister's opinion, Jing Dingwu has served as the secretary of the criminal department for many years, and he has been conscientious and conscientious, and he is not partial, and he is also deeply loved by the people among the people. ”

"Jing Dingwu is a person admired by the people and praised by the minister, so the minister thinks that it cannot be a vendetta. The old man said.

"This is true, I know that Jing Dingwu is a person, and he is loyal to the court, and there is nothing else for me. Liang Chen glanced at the prime minister closest to him, and there was something to say.

"Father, the son thinks that the person who kills the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment is not as simple as it seems. At this time, Liang Zongzhi, who was the crown prince, suddenly stepped forward and said.

Liang Zongzhi continued: "The Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, as far as Erchen knows, there are several monks in the middle stage of refining body to guard it, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department is a monk in the late stage of body refining, and he can slaughter the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department without making a sound, and the cultivation of the assassins is probably not to be underestimated, and there are not many forces of such strength in the Lan Kingdom." ”

"Hmm......" Liang Chen nodded, thoughtful.

"The minister also has something to say," Standing on the right side of Liang Chen, the prime minister got up and said: "The criminal department Shangshu has always been a master of investigating cases in Languo, and the old minister thinks that it may be that the criminal department Shangshu found some secrets in the investigation of the case and was killed and killed. ”

What Yue Aiqing said is reasonable. "The royal family and the Yue family are standing together, and Liang Chen naturally knows what Yue Enci wants to say.

"Prime Minister Yue Cheng can't talk nonsense, as far as the old minister knows, Shangshu of the Criminal Department has not investigated the case in recent days, but is busy with his son-in-law's marriage. Chen Xiangchen, who was on the left side of Liang Chen, said.

"Hmph, I don't know if Prime Minister Chen Cheng went to the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department this morning to take a look?" Yue Enci snorted coldly and said.

"No, I didn't. Chen Xiangchen shook his head.

"In this case, Prime Minister Chen Cheng is really talking too much, delaying the opportunity," Yue Enci said coldly, "Hearing the news of Jing Dingwu's death, I sent my Yue family's children to check, and found that the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department was turned upside down, and the perpetrator seemed to be looking for something. ”

"The old minister thinks that Prime Minister Yue's words should not be believed, there are many people who have been arrested by Jing Dingwu, maybe it is not known which family will come to take revenge. Chen Xiangchen stepped forward and said.

When the ministers saw that the two prime ministers on the left and right began to quarrel again, they didn't dare to talk nonsense.

"Jing Dingwu destroyed the door, I have other plans, as for vacating the position of the criminal department, I will choose another day. Liang Chen touched his chin, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Everyone, Aiqing, who wants to share my worries and thoroughly investigate this Jingdingwu annihilation case. Liang Chen then asked.

"This ......"

As soon as the emperor said this, the restlessness below came to an abrupt end.

The ministers looked at each other, buried their heads lower, and wanted to find a crack to get into, and cold sweat spread on their foreheads.

This case is a hot potato, if it is a disaster relief rehabilitation, there may be people who ask for help, the murderer of this extermination case has not been caught, and no one thinks that he will live a long life.

"Minister...... I would like to refer a person. ”

The white-bearded old man who had just spoken out walked out of the crowd and said, "There is one person in the Yue family who can take on this important task. ”

"Du Aiqing refers to ......" Liang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Yue Hai!" the white-bearded old man said solemnly, "Yue Hai's ability to investigate the case, the minister must not say much. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!" As soon as he saw someone recommending others, someone immediately echoed him.

"The minister also seconded it!"

"Okay, in that case, Xuan Yuehai will return to Beijing!"
