Even though he had long known Liu Jiaojiao's methods, when he saw it with his own eyes, Yin Ershao still inevitably felt shocked, and at the same time subconsciously strengthened his determination to follow this master to the end.

Of course, the latter reaction is most likely due to the obedience charm.

"Master, is my sister okay?" As soon as Xuan Chengzi left, Yin Ershao immediately asked with eagerness.

"Since Xuan Chengzi didn't say anything else, it proves that my guess at the beginning was right, the Mei nobleman who had an accident acted in a play, not only counting your sister, but also counting most of the women in the harem, and she is also a talent! Now that the real culprit has been found, of course your sister will be fine. Liu Jiaojiao replied with a smile.

"That's good, that's good." Yin Ershao must have completely trusted her, since she said that it was okay, it was okay, and after patting his chest a few times, he looked at her with doubts, "Master, how did you guess that the palace would definitely go to Qingxuguan to ask someone to do it?" ”

"If something like this happens, even if it is to appease people's hearts, the palace will definitely find a Taoist master to enter the palace, our ancient dynasty basically believed in Taoism, so the only one who can be found is a Taoist priest, so I asked you which Taoist temple in the capital is the most famous and the most prosperous."

"Then how do you determine that there is something wrong with Mei Guiren? After all, she is a victim, and most people will not suspect her, right? ”

"Because I'm not an ordinary person." Just kidding, girl, has Conan been seen for nothing for so many years?

Originally, there was no need to say too much to Yin Ershao, anyway, the person who fell into the obedience talisman would not question anything the curse person said at all, but as a fan of reasoning, Liu Jiaojiao really didn't want to let go of the sense of accomplishment when solving the mystery, so she patiently explained to him.

"First of all, we must figure out who the biggest beneficiary of this matter is, and who reaps the greatest benefits will most likely be the real culprit. There are not many women in our emperor's harem, and there are only a few who really have a little power, so we can start to deduce and investigate them one by one. ”

"First of all, the queen, she has no children under her knees, only two princesses, calculating the concubine is actually not good for her, and as the master of the harem, it is a clear way to kill those concubines, there is no need to choose such a private and complicated means, with her identity, she can't do it."

"Concubine Yin is the biggest victim, it can be directly ruled out, and then there are Concubine Chun and Concubine Duan. Concubine Duan heard that she is a master who never fights or grabs, and Concubine Chun seems to have an excellent reputation, not to mention whether the temperament shown by these two people is real or pretending, as concubines with princes, both of them are very suspicious, after all, the concubine Niangniang has an eldest son under her knees. ”

"But you said that there are several witch Gu dolls, but only Mei Guiren has an accident, which makes me have to be the first to suspect her. Whether it is identity, family background or others, she is the worst of those concubines who have been recruited, so why did the doll that cursed her work, but the others were fine? ”

"So, my gut tells me that there is something wrong with Mei Guiren. This is why Xuan Chengzi went to meet Mei Guiren first, if he woke up as soon as he went to Mei Guiren, then her suspicion would be even greater, and then use some means against her as I said to force her to tell the truth, and basically the truth of this matter can come out. ”

After saying a lot of words in one breath, Liu Jiaojiao didn't feel a little thirsty, and Yin Ershao, who was extremely engaged in listening, hurriedly poured her a cup of tea and handed it over, and said with admiration: "Master, you are really amazing, you guessed it all right." ”

"It can only be said that Mei Guiren's means are not enough, if you can really make all those witch Gu dolls work, and then be in a coma for a day or two more, this matter will not be easy to investigate. At that time, even if it is to appease the courtiers and stabilize the harem, your sister will have to carry this black cauldron. Liu Jiaojiao sighed.

It is because Mei Guiren's methods are not ruthless enough, and it is estimated that it is also because of the lack of connections and family background, so he can't attack several other concubines, so he can only arrange for someone to sneak to Qixia Palace in the middle of the night to bury the witch Gu doll, and then use drugs or other means to pretend that he has been disgusted with winning, and then arrange a dead man to testify against Yin Guifei, hoping to bring her down.

In fact, even if she doesn't make a move in this matter, it is estimated that Gu Tingjun can solve it, so only Mei Guiren has been hit by this loophole, with Gu Tingjun's IQ, it is impossible not to think that there is a problem with this matter.

The Emperor was an extremely clever lord, and there was no reason why he couldn't see the key to it.

Fortunately, she has the plug-in of the system, and she can completely guarantee that she will not be found out that she has something to do with Xuan Chengzi, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee that she will not be suspected of by Gu Tingjun.

As Liu Jiaojiao expected, Gu Tingjun did suspect Mei Guiren, but he didn't expect Xuan Chengzi to have such a trick at all, and he could see at a glance that Mei Guiren had a problem, and directly let the other party confess without resistance.

When Xuan Chengzi replied to him, he just made a look of surprise and anger at the right time, and then began to knock on the side to ask what means the other party used to make Mei Guiren tell the truth.

But Xuan Chengzi, who had already been explained by Liu Jiaojiao in advance, completely according to her requirements, put on the appearance of a master outside the world, and the sentence "Heavenly secrets must not be revealed" directly resolved the problem, making Gu Tingjun angry even though he could only helplessly let him leave, and had to send a lot of rewards.

In fact, most of the emperors don't believe too much in the theory of ghosts and gods, even if they seem to believe in Taoism or Buddhism, they don't know why they don't think so, for them, religion and religion are just weapons used to better rule their subjects.

He wished that all his people could believe in a certain sect or religion, and then use the doctrine that was beneficial to him to better domesticate them, but he could not accept that the people's belief in the sect and religion was higher than the belief in the imperial power, and once he found that the power of the sect or religion exceeded his control, he would try by all means to weaken it, and even deliberately create some incidents, classify that sect or religion as an evil cult or religion, and then destroy it directly. Eighth Library

In short, it is okay to believe in the sect and religion, but at the same time you must fear the imperial power, if you want to argue with the imperial power for the sake of the sect and religion, hehe, if you don't die, who will die? Do you want to keep it for the New Year?

And the magic shown by Xuan Chengzi directly made Gu Ting feel a sense of crisis, he didn't know whether Xuan Chengzi was the only one who had such a ability, or whether that group of Taoist priests all had the possibility of obtaining such a ability.

If it was the former, he wouldn't mind giving Xuan Chengzi a nice title and status, wooing him, and letting his abilities be used for himself; But if it is the latter, then those Taoist temples and Taoist priests all over the ancient dynasty will undoubtedly become his fear.

As a high emperor, how could he tolerate people and forces in the country under his control?

Therefore, as soon as Xuan Chengzi left the palace on the front foot, Gu Tingjun called the head of the secret guard and instructed him to arrange a reliable secret guard to go to Qingxuguan to become a Taoist priest, in fact, to find out the inside story.

Liu Jiaojiao probably guessed that Gu Tingjun would be suspicious of Xuan Chengzi because of the ability he showed, and he would definitely do something, but she was not worried at all, if it was not necessary, she would never take the initiative to contact Xuan Chengzi, this was a secret chess piece she left for the future.

Mei Guiren calculated the harem, and naturally there was no good end, and as the queen expected, Gu Tingjun directly asked the Shen Criminal Division to punish her, and also went to interrogate it in person, but Mei Guiren bit everything to death for herself, and there was no one else's hand behind it, when asked about her purpose for doing this, she just sneered and resolutely did not say a word.

Gu Tingjun never expected that Mei Guiren, a seemingly weak woman, would be a hard bone to gnaw, and she was tortured by the Shen Criminal Division to the point that she was invisible, and she still didn't say a word, and even when he took out her family to threaten her, he still had the same attitude.

What can you do when you meet a person who is determined and not threatened, not afraid of torture, and not afraid of death? Even Gu Tingjun, who is accustomed to perceiving people's hearts, said that he was very helpless.

In the end, there was no way, so he directly sent a glass of dove wine to Mei Guiren, and all the palace people in charge of Yunmeng Palace were killed.

At the beginning, Gu Tingjun did think about beheading Mei Guiren's whole family, but now that the Jiangnan flood is in trouble, the imperial court is the time to use people, and Mei Guiren's father happens to be a person who understands water conservancy, so he didn't move him, but just sent him to Jiangnan to treat the flood, so that he could make up for it.

Mei Guiren also expected this, so she was not afraid that Gu Tingjun would threaten her with her family, as for how she was in the harem, how did she know that there was a flood in Jiangnan, of course, Concubine Chun inadvertently told her.

Although Mei Guiren has subdued the law, the entire harem has changed drastically, except for the low-key Duan Concubine, all the other palaces have begun to strengthen management and prevention, for fear that someone will calculate on their heads again.

Concubine Yin, who cleared up her grievances, did not have the slightest joy, she definitely didn't believe that a little noble person could have such courage, there must be someone behind her, but she couldn't guess who it was.

Concubine Chun was the first she excluded, because everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Chun had the best relationship with Concubine Mei, but those witch dolls had Concubine Chun's birthday, how could Concubine Mei murder Concubine Chun, who was her sister?

So, is it the queen or the concubine? Or is it someone else?

Yin Guifei couldn't think of it, and she still couldn't think of it when she thought about it.

The thing a person fears most is not that someone is trying to harm you, but that you don't know who that person is when that person is right next to you.

The fear of the unknown is always the most terrifying.

This time this loss is really big, although the seemingly culprit Mei Guiren has been ambushed, but Yin Guifei is convinced that the people behind the scenes are still at large, otherwise why does Mei Guiren refuse to say until he dies Why do he want to calculate himself? Otherwise, why did she confess her sins so easily?

It's clear that he wants a person to resist the guilt, either he has the handle in the hands of others and doesn't dare to say it, or he just wants to protect the person behind the scenes.

Wait a minute, protection?

If it is really for protection, in the entire harem, the people who are willing to use their lives to protect the people of Mei Guiren ...... It seems that there is only a pure concubine.

Could it really be her?
