What about Yang's uterus? ”

Xiao Qinglang chuckled, and said in a calm tone, "The matter of the harem concubines, unless the matter is important, it is inconvenient for this king to interfere. ”

Hearing this, Xu Chu couldn't help but show a stunned expression, and said in a low voice, "Does the prince want to block the matter of Yang Gonggong?" ”

Xiao Qinglang acquiesced, and only after a moment did he sigh and explain, "The Queen Mother and the Palace should be regarded as Ning Subai's last shelter. If it is excusable that he was being used and can be dealt with lightly, then it would be a big mistake to hurt the royal heir. Since the emperor and the queen are no longer investigating this matter, why bother with another turmoil? ”

Xu Chu nodded, sure enough, it was Xiao Qinglang she knew. On top of the big things, it has always been notarized, but it is also very protective. But that's good, at least there's some human touch.

"Where is Changli Palace, does the prince want to continue to investigate?" Xu Chu tentatively spoke, and he was very unsure whether it was appropriate to ask this question.

Xiao Qinglang saw that her body was tense and her expression was very solemn, so he couldn't help but sneer and said, "Why is Xiao Chu so worried? Between you and me, what can't be asked? ”

After a pause, he said in a deep voice, "It's been found until now, how can you give up halfway?" Putting aside personal selfishness, if that person is not found out for a day, the Great Zhou will not be at peace for a day. ”

Moreover, he had great faith in his mother's character. The mother concubine is not the kind of woman who is not restless in the room, and it is impossible for her own selfish desires to act against someone who may cause the family to be wiped out.

Xu Chu's eyes trembled, looking at his deep but firm eyes, his heart was indescribably down-to-earth and stable. She looked at him, and then gradually relaxed a little under the light smile.

"What does Xiao Chu think about this matter?"

"I think the prince is acting too much this time, although he clearly said the ins and outs, but it is not difficult to find many clues. Although the prince has long had a grudge against the protector, he has never done anything that would implicate him, but how could he be so reckless this time? ”

Xiao Qinglang looked at her quietly, and when her words fell, he added with a heart, "So, Xiao Chu suspects that Aunt Hong used the same method as the one used by Shunzi in the White Bone Case of the Furong Inn?" ”

Xu Chu pondered for a moment and said, "It's just that there is this suspicion, and the specific needs to go to the Protector's Mansion to be sure." After all, the so-called master of Shunzi at that time had not been caught. Moreover, in Zhang's case, the person who left the portrait of Zhang Xiucai does not have too many eyebrows......"

The night obscured the slow carriage, and gradually hid the heart-to-heart conversation between the two in the carriage. The secrets of the past, which are enough to shock the court and the royal family, will also be slowly revealed by the two who work together.

Some things, even if they rot into the dirt, have always existed. As long as it exists, it will inevitably leave clues and then be known.

After leaving the palace, Xu Chu did not return to the house according to Xiao Qinglang's intentions, but returned to the yamen. After inspecting the corpses and confirming that Aunt Hong and Lao Bustard Chunniang committed suicide, she went to check the bones that had been put together by Li Chengzuo and others.

Because Cao Xianguan and others had Li Cheng as a foil for Liu Cheng, plus the method proposed by Xu Chu, it was not too difficult to put those bones together. Now, according to the characteristics of the white bones, several people have basically determined that these white bones in the dark room of the Danding faction are the girls who disappeared in the town of Xuanwen in the thirty-sixth year.

What's more, they also found bones that did not belong to people from the pile of white bones. In other words, it should be one with the canine tooth found by Xu Chu, and it is very likely to be the remains of the pang.

Now, the case is becoming more and more confusing. The dark room looked simple, but inside it was the corpse of the English duchess, as well as the bones of her beloved pet, and the white bones that seemed to be used in the tantric spells of sacrifice.

If you don't see it with your own eyes, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for anyone to connect these things together. Partial birth, now the matter is in front of us.

Xu Chu has always been convinced that the corpse is greater than the case, and the case is greater than the private situation. Therefore, even though she was worried that Xiao Qinglang would be troubled by the matter of Changli Palace, she could only put aside that worry at this time and immerse her thoughts in the current case.

Her brow furrowed tightly, apparently puzzled by the situation. This is really too weird, if it is said that the first emperor loved the concubine of the Dong family, and was even willing to risk the disapproval of the world for her, then how could Dong Guifei's dowry appear on the Dan furnace?

If the first emperor really disregarded human life and used human blood to refine the pill because of alchemy, then how can this matter be explained now?

But if it's not the first emperor, then who will it be? It is not easy to stop the lost list sent to the capital, and to suppress the disappearance of such a big girl, and because the case did not cause any disturbances in the slightest, let alone alarm the people.

Besides, who left the annotation on the book I read in Xiao Qinglang's library?

Although he still has no clue about the identity of that person, Xu Chu feels that that person has an inescapable relationship with the conspiracy they are pursuing now.

The torches in the autopsy room illuminated the dimly lit room, and at the same time, the white bones were very vivid, even the scars on it that had been eaten by canine teeth could be seen clearly and shockingly.

What is even more alarming, however, is the words written on the autopsy list. Most of the injuries on the bones were left before death. Even if there are traces of gnawing that penetrate deep into the bone marrow, they should all be left before death.

In other words, what Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu originally guessed about using living people to sacrifice ghosts and perform tantric corpse spells may be true.

Xu Chu frowned, looking at the white bones that withered at the age of a flower, and didn't know how to express the gloom and indignation in his heart for a while.

Girls who have not yet reached the age of jasper may still be at the age of playing, or they may understand things early because of the poverty of their families. However, before they were even grown, they were made sacrifices alive.

Xu Chu couldn't imagine how desperate they were when they were starving and fearful and facing the vicious pan before they died. They may have screamed, begged for help, and even fled in the ravine, but in the end they still did not escape.

For a while, she was a little disappointed in Da Zhou. I was disappointed in the current situation, disappointed in those in power who held power and disregarded people's lives, and even disappointed in the three law divisions who should have asked for the people's lives.

With such a big case and so many missing girls, why does the court know nothing? Why did the yamen, which was supposed to be the guardian of the people, take no action at all?

Even if someone in the court or the royal family used their power to stop those who reported the missing cases and suppressed the news, why could the people in the local yamen really turn a blind eye and let it go?

But if there is one of those yamen who is upright, even if he risks losing his future, he has to go to Beijing to find Jing Zhaoyin and ask the Criminal Department for help, so why worry that no one notices? After all, in the capital, although there are courtiers who are wise and wise to protect themselves, there are also people who dare to give direct advice.

How absurd should a country be that a series of cases of missing girls in the suburbs of Beijing have not attracted the attention of the world?

Xu Chu knew that he shouldn't think like this, after all, the Great Zhou Dynasty was different from the era he lived in in his previous life, and it was a place where the superior could turn over the clouds and rain at will. However, as a prisoner, and for her who has received an education that human life is greater than heaven, this incident really shocked her.

She lowered her eyes, hiding the emotions rolling under her eyes, and the almost uncontrollable anger on her face.

Xiao Qinglang stared in contemplation, and his gaze paused slightly when it fell on Xu Chu. He looked at Xu Chu holding the autopsy sheet, but when his fingers were a little white, he sighed helplessly, and then stepped forward and reached out to pull out the stack of autopsy sheets from her hand.

Xu was too worried about her state of mind, so Xiao Qinglang directly raised his right hand and patted Xu Chu's hands after lightly glancing at Cao Xianguan, Li Yanzuo and others.

"Today's Three Law Divisions are not the same as before, and you and I can't stop what has happened. However, we can guarantee that there will never be such a tragic case in the Great Zhou in the future, and no one will be able to suppress the murder case under the rule of the Three Law Divisions. Xiao Qinglang looked down at her slightly, and cherished words that could comfort her mind.

Xu Chu had always known that he was a noble and handsome person, and he had even become accustomed to the depth and gentleness of his appearance when he looked at him. But today, under the lights, when he saw him in a shiny brocade robe flowing like the moonlight, and said these words with a firm gaze, Xu Chu's heart still couldn't help but beat suddenly.

Xiao Qinglang grabbed her slightly clenched hand, even when Xu Chu reacted and wanted to break free, he never let go.

However, he looked at Xu Chu and came back to his senses, but raised his head and looked at the somewhat dumbfounded Cao Inspector and the others, but he didn't see it, and calmly ordered, "Okay, it's not early today, you go back first, if it's too late, I'm afraid I will be interrogated by the patrol." ”

Inspector Cao and the others were still immersed in the shock of the prince holding Lord Xu's hand affectionately, and they were surprised for a while and had no other reaction. It wasn't until they saw the prince leave the coroner's room with Lord Xu that a few people suddenly got up, and the king of Jing'an, who everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty said was not close to women, had already belonged.

Just when a few people were muttering in a hurry, Tang Qiaozheng hurried over. As soon as he entered the autopsy room, he saw that Inspector Cao and the others were silent, staring blankly at the door, and his heart immediately chuckled.
