"It must be extraordinary for someone to have such a big power in the imperial city, you can help me find out what suspicious people have entered and exited in the imperial city from half a month ago to today," Duan Jingyi paused, subconsciously glanced behind the screen in the house, and continued to speak only after making sure that Tang Meng had not woken up, "Especially keep an eye on Bai Lingchen's whereabouts in Mojia Lane and the people who come and go in the courtyard." ”

"Are you suspicious of Bai Gongzi......" Song Ming's eyes rolled and thought about it, recalling the abnormal changes after Tang Meng's disappearance and return before, Bai Lingchen was indeed a suspicious person, so he nodded solemnly, "Xia Guan understands!" ”

Duan Jingyi glanced at the sky outside, "It's not early now, presumably my father will drive back to the palace after a while, you can go back before he leaves." ”

Song Ming nodded and saluted and retreated, but before he could take a few steps, Duan Jingyi called him back again, Song Ming hurriedly turned around, "What else does the prince command?" ”

Duan Jingyi spoke in a deep voice, "Ling Qing! ”

As he spoke, a ghostly black shadow landed in the middle of the house, every time Ling Qing appeared, he could startle Song Ming, he didn't know where this big living person had been hiding, and he didn't know how many secrets he had heard of Duan Jingyi over the years, but Ling Qing had an expressionless face every time he appeared, and Song Ming even wondered if Ling Qing always pretended to be like a dead man because he wanted to prove that he hadn't eavesdropped.

I only heard Duan Jingyi continue to instruct, "Bring the pearl of Nanhu that this king found a while ago and give it to Lord Song to take back." ”

"This ...... How embarrassing is this, the lower officials haven't started to do things yet, and they won't be punished," although Song Ming said this, his face and heart were full of joy, and he almost jumped on the spot a few times.

Duan Jingyi's heart immediately lightened for a moment when he saw him like this, and said, "I don't have to go shopping in person tomorrow to please Mrs., so I will treat it as the hard money that this king paid you first." ”

"Oh, yes, that's embarrassing, but the minister is disrespectful."

Duan Jingyi waved his hand and let Song Ming follow Ling Qing to get it, and only when the two of them disappeared into the night did Duan Jingyi slowly close the door, if Su Zhi woke up and knew that there was someone who cared about her like this, she would rather wait in the middle of the night in the winter and come in to help her track down the murderer.

Duan Jingyi turned off the light and went back to bed, Tang Meng was still breathing steadily, not like any sign of waking up, Duan Jingyi deceived herself and slept on her side, sleepless all night.

On this side, Bai Lingchen took Xiao Dong all the way to the headquarters of the Spirit Pavilion hidden in the mountains, it was dark outside, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and Xiao Dong, who had not come out of the palace for a long time, was so frightened that Xiao Dong, who had not come out of the palace for a long time, hugged Bai Lingchen's waist tightly and didn't dare to look up and look out, knowing that this rapid speed stopped, she let go of her hand tremblingly, but when she saw Bai Lingchen's cold and miserable face, she was frightened from the bottom of her heart.

Bai Lingchen only glanced at her condescendingly, and then began to knock on the door with ease, and he didn't look at Xiao Dong again until there was a response inside.

Xiao Dong could only follow Bai Lingchen tightly in his heart into the huge hollow interior of the Spirit Pavilion, because of the relationship between the night pearl hanging above his head and the darkness in his own mountain, no matter what time of day he entered here, it would always be a cold and dead white, and the crowd of people coming and going inside seemed to walk back and forth to do things as if there was no blood.

The entire ten-story building inside couldn't hear the slightest human voice all day, the more Xiao Dong walked inside, the more scared she became, she nervously tightened her neck and forced herself not to look at everything around her, although she was separated from her sister and entered the palace since she was a child, but she actually had an impression of this place.

After all, such a terrible place and the terrible past few people can forget, and she can even remember the screams in her ears when she was a child when she saw such a terrible white color, and she still remembers when she and her sister were sold here by traffickers with a group of children.

At that time, they felt that everything in front of them was unfamiliar, and the brothers and sisters here were walking back and forth in white clothes, looking like clean and white fairies in the world, but when they were ruthlessly scrubbed and sorted, they suddenly realized that this place was ten thousand times more terrifying than the original begging life.

Some of the children with inferior appearance and bones were directly fed with poison and kept in cages to be thrown into the furnace to practice elixir at any time, while the remaining group of children with slightly better skin were forcibly fed another poison and subjected to inhuman whipping and torture to raise them to be fearless but inhumane living poisoners, and the remaining children, although they were mostly spared, were in a sense the worst.

Xiao Dong still remembers that he and his sister were promoted from the second-class children because they were twins, and the first lesson they saw at that time was how these people dressed in pure white were violent to all kinds of children, and the distorted image and rotten smell woke Xiao Dong from nightmares for more than ten years.

And then they were quickly forced to become abusers, and if anyone dared to resist, the end would be a hundred times worse than this, and they would ask the other children to watch the escapees be executed, so that no one would dare to make the same mistake again.

And these children have grown up to become the tools of the Spirit Pavilion to kill, they have no emotion and no blood, the only thing they can do is to follow the instructions and keep killing, and the Lord of the Spirit Pavilion even kills people to encourage them to die once and arrest the people who have been violent to them back then.

So at that time, the first person killed by the two sisters Xiaoqiu and Xiaodong was the trafficker who sent them, and it was then that Xiaoqiu tasted the happiness of slashing the enemy.

The terrifying memories of her childhood hit Xiao Dong's mind wave after wave, she was already trembling with fear, and a cold sweat had soaked all her clothes, she wanted to turn her head and run away but there was nothing she could do, not to mention where she could run with such means as the Spirit Pavilion.

Bai Lingchen seemed to feel the strangeness of the person behind him, and just as he was about to walk to the hall where the Lord of the Spirit Pavilion was located, he suddenly stopped and turned around and looked coldly at Xiao Dong, who was trembling behind him, he stared at her like this, until she couldn't bear it anymore and was about to faint before being pulled up by Bai Lingchen.

Severe pain came from his arm, and Xiao Dong's eyes were foggy, but he could clearly hear a cold voice whispering in his ear, "Your sister risked death to send you out, if you want to live, you have to prove the value of your existence, the last person who cried and cried has turned into a pill at this time, do you want to taste the same taste?" ”
