Chapter 622: Charted Corpses
The fire in the Qinglou lasted for two hours, alarming all the people in the imperial city, the patrol soldiers also rushed to extinguish the fire, and the people living nearby also spontaneously helped to put out the fire, but unfortunately, none of the people in the Qinglou had time to be rescued.
Yue Qingming sat in the building opposite, frowning and looking at the solemn picture downstairs, his mood was very complicated, the Queen Mother and Gonggong He said that they were taking revenge on the emperor, but they didn't say that they wanted to take so many people's lives to die together!
When Jiang Qianbai came back, the whole person looked very lonely, his white clothes were dirty, and there were some black stains on his face, he sat on the chair next to Yue Qingming, and the whole person was stunned: "This is not the picture we want to see, is it?" ”
"Jiang Qianbai, this is something we didn't expect, it's none of your business, you don't have to blame yourself."
"If I had been watching from inside the Qinglou instead of outside, maybe I would have had a chance to save those people's lives!"
"But if you're in there, maybe you won't even make it out alive."
“……”
Yue Qingming took a deep breath and said, "Jiang Qianbai, no matter what you think in your heart, but something has happened, no matter how much you blame yourself, it is useless, and the dead still cannot be resurrected." ”
Jiang Qianbai smiled bitterly: "That Father-in-law He lied to us, he never thought of killing the emperor alone, do you know?" I asked them at the bottom just now, and they said that none of the girls in the room in the Qinglou managed to escape, most of them were only in their teens, less than twenty ......."
Yue Qingming frowned, stretched out his hand and gently patted Jiang Qianbai's shoulder: "You can't be blamed for that." ”
Jiang Qianbai hugged his head and smiled bitterly, he had experienced a lot of things, if it was before, he might have watched coldly, but now, he felt very heartbroken and helpless, he felt so powerless for the first time.
When Yue Qingming was about to say something more, the person sent by Jiang Qiancheng found them: "Miss Yue, Fifth Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks you to go back to the East Palace immediately, he said that he has something important to tell you." ”
Yue Qingming nodded: "Got it, let's go." ”
On the way back to the East Palace, Jiang Qianbai still looked lonely, if Yue Wan'er saw it, she would definitely be distressed to death.
As soon as he entered the main hall, Yue Qingming saw the anxious expression on Jiang Qiancheng's face, and was relieved to see that the two of them were safe and sound.
Jiang Qiancheng said anxiously: "Things are completely different from what we imagined, Father-in-law He's villa has already been empty, and no one can be found anywhere!" ”
Yue Qingming and Jiang Qianbai looked at each other, this time it can be regarded as making a big fuss, it seems that it is a very wrong choice to trade and cooperate with an outlaw like Gonggong He.
Yue Qingming lowered his head and said: "It's my fault, I made the choice for you to cooperate with them, if I hadn't been nosy, this situation wouldn't have happened now, I'm sorry." ”
Jiang Qiancheng sighed: "Now that the matter is over, don't say anything like blaming, let's think about how to deal with this matter first!" ”
Jiang Qianbai said: "My people have always been guarding around the Qinglou, and they are always keeping an eye on the situation in the Qinglou, making sure that the emperor did not run out of it, and must have died inside." ”
"Has the body been found?"
Jiang Qianbai shook his head: "With such a big fire, what can you find?" They must have turned to ashes like the other corpses. ”
Yue Qingming frowned: "Just in case, we still have to check carefully, if the emperor is not dead, we have to hurry up and make up for the last knife, and we must not let him appear in the imperial city alive, otherwise we will be very He Gonggong and the Queen Mother's cooperation will definitely be exposed by him, and when the time comes, we will really be finished!" ”
Jiang Qianbai said: "Leave this matter to me, and I'll handle it." ”
"Jiang Qianbai," Yue Qingming called out to him: "You are too tired and need to rest, just leave this matter to Shanwu." ”
Jiang Qianbai glanced at her lightly: "It's okay." ”
Under Jiang Qiancheng's instructions, Shan Wu led people to search around in the ruins of the Qinglou, and even brought four servants with him, but whenever he found a corpse, let them check it to see if it was a man.
At that time, there were not many men in the Qinglou, and the emperor and those who served the turtle were not the same, and if the body found was a man, it should be easy to distinguish.
Yama Wu led people to search for two hours, brought all the male corpses that could be found in the ruins back to the palace, and asked the imperial physician in the palace to conduct a second examination, and finally found the corpses that matched the emperor's physical characteristics among a batch of charred male corpses.
Shan Wu took the corpse and the imperial doctor back to the East Palace and brought them to Jiang Qiancheng.
Jiang Qiancheng glanced at the charred corpse, and couldn't help frowning: "Are you sure this is the corpse of your father?" It's all burned like this, how can you be so sure? ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know anything, His Majesty was injured when he was young, and his left leg was scarred, and it was very deep, it was not something that could be imitated casually, and His Majesty often coughed and had bad lungs, which is also in line with it, and most importantly, the jade ring on the hand of this corpse was given to His Majesty by the Queen Mother."
Jiang Qiancheng approached and looked closer, and quickly retracted his gaze, it was not that he had never seen a corpse, but after all, it was his father, it was difficult for him to stare at it for a long time.
When Yue Qingming was pushed over by Jade, Jiang Qiancheng subconsciously stopped her.
Yue Qingming said: "It's okay, I just came over to take a look, just watch it here." ”
Jiang Qiancheng put down his hand: "That's a charred corpse, what can you see?" Let's go back, don't watch the nightmares at night. ”
Yue Qingming smiled, but continued to stare at the corpse.
She summoned the system in her head: "System, do we have a DNA test system here to buy?" ”
"Yes, a DNA test costs 10,000 Taobao coins, and the results are real and valid."
"Okay, I'll buy it once, check the DNA of the corpse in front of me and see if it matches the emperor's DNA."
"The host successfully purchases the DNA examination system once and deducts 10,000 Taobao coins."
"The DNA test is expected to take up to an hour, so please wait ......"
Taking advantage of the gap in the inspection, Yue Qingming asked Jiang Qiancheng: "Are there any other suspicious male corpses in that fire?" For example, eunuchs and the like. ”
Jiang Qiancheng glanced back at Yue Qingming, a little surprised: "You mean, Grandpa He may have also died in that fire?" ”
