Benhou ...... I really don't know what's going on. Su Bai didn't mention it either......"

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Qinglang sneered and said, "Does the Protector want him to tell the secrets of the Three Law Divisions in public, or do you give him a chance to explain superfluously?" ”

The Protector was dumbfounded, and his back collapsed in an instant, as if he had aged more than ten years.

It's a pity that Xiao Qinglang didn't have the slightest pity for him, and continued: "In the past, Ning Subai often went to Chunhualou to get a hangover, and you never punished him like this. This king is curious, why were you so angry last night? Or rather, who provoked you to beat your son-in-law to death? ”

The Protector was stunned for a moment, and suddenly figured out some tricks. His face was annoyed, gloomy and remorseful, but he had to admit what Xiao Qinglang said.

"Okay, the Queen Mother will send a sedan chair to take him into the palace later. This time, Ning Subai left the Hou Mansion, but he was afraid that the day of his return was far away. This king reads that you hate iron and steel, and I will mention you, Ning Subai is your son, you should believe him. ”

When he said this again, Ning Subai woke up slowly, although the pain was still unbearable, but he still looked at Xiao Qinglang with red eyes and said with a miserable smile: "The prince did so much to him. ”

Perhaps it was the wound on his face that caused him to hiss. When he felt that it didn't hurt so much, he continued: "Lord Wang, I really found out last night, why don't you ask the Protector to go out first?" ”

In the end, Xiao Qinglang learned from Ning Subai that Dong Ruiyang, who was famous, had already been injured and could not be humane at all.

Moreover, he also privately sought a famous doctor, and after it had no effect, he found many so-called alchemists to make alchemy for him. Many people who often enjoy pills know about this matter, and some Taoist priests who provide them with pills often tell the news to the sons and daughters of the next family in order to get a reward.

For the sake of insurance, Ning Subai also specially asked his group of fox friends who liked to use various gold and stone medicines to increase their interest, and wrote down the names and residences of some Taoist priests who had been in contact with Dong Ruiyang one by one.

In this way, coupled with the fact that Dong Ruiyang privately bought the girl into the house, and then the girls were reported as fleeing privately, basically the body found in the collapsed Dan room in the courtyard has an explanation.

Now what Xiao Qinglang has to wait for is for Xu Chu to restore the appearance of the deceased, and then determine the identity of the deceased based on his bones and characteristics. Then, Dong Ruiyang was arrested and brought to justice.

The case is not complicated, it is even very clear. It's just that there are still many doubts, such as the dwarf Daogu who died first, and why the Dan furnace built by the first emperor and the gem that should have been Dong Guifei's funeral goods appeared here......

Although Dong Ruiyang is Dong Guifei's nephew, he is not qualified to be buried when Dong Guifei is buried. Not to mention entering the concubine's mausoleum, stealing funeral goods while others are not paying attention.

These are really unreasonable, and the most reasonable explanation is that he once sneaked into the tomb of the concubine. Or, someone else stole the treasures of the royal concubine's mausoleum and sold them to Dong Ruiyang, who was not in the know.

It is not impossible to think so, the mausoleums of the concubines of the past dynasties are different from the mausoleums of emperors and queens. Although there are also guards patrolling, they are not strict, and most of them are guarded by nearby villagers. Therefore, the tomb of the concubine is not without the possibility of being stolen.

On the edge of the side of the concubine's mausoleum, there are some harem women who have been reprimanded by the emperor or ordered not to erect a monument as a concubine. Their mausoleums are even more perfunctory, and most of them have no mechanisms inside, so they are the easiest to be trampled on, including Xiao Qinglang's mother.

It is also thanks to Xiao Qinglang's ability to solve the case that he has entered the eyes of the first emperor, coupled with the secret help of the crown prince today, so that his mother's mausoleum can be proudly complete. Now, he is the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the emperor values him, so those guards are naturally more concerned about guarding the tomb of the first concubine.

He thought for a while, instructed his subordinates to take care of Ning Subai, and then left directly.

When he arrived at the Three Law Divisions, it was already the middle of the day, and Tang Qiaozheng was already pacing back and forth in front of the yamen, his face anxious as if he was embarrassed.

Xiao Qinglang dismounted, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Tang Qiaozheng saw that the prince had arrived, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was still serious, "Lord Wang, just now, Lord Xu, Cao Xianguan, and the county lord of Mingzhu restored the faces of several skeletons. Xia Guan sent someone to take the portrait to find Dong Ruiyang's maid Yazi, and the two people Yazi both pointed out that the dead girl was the child who sold herself to the Dong family......"

Xiao Qinglang's eyes narrowed, and he said indifferently: "Let people send Dong Ruiyang to the Three Law Division for questioning!" ”

Tang Qiaozheng hesitated for a moment before he hesitated and said, "But Lord Wang, everyone in the Great Zhou knows the original will of the first emperor......

Xiao Qinglang's voice was calm, with a three-foot coldness, and a little mockery: "The first emperor only mentioned that he would not kill the people of the Dong family, but he did not say that he could make them above the imperial court. Entering the three legal divisions for questioning is necessary for all the people involved in the case, even if it is Dong Ruiyang, he does not want to stay outside the law! ”

Tang Qiaozheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly responded.

Xiao Qinglang saw that Tang Qiaozheng was still hesitant to leave, so he immediately raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Tang Qiaozheng glanced at his face, pursed his lips and said in embarrassment: "Today, there have been rumors in the market that someone is alchemizing with evil arts, and ......" He said, he couldn't help but sneak a glance at Xiao Qinglang's expression again, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Moreover, it is rumored among the people that hundreds of girls' bones have been found, and even many couples who have lost their children have made trouble in front of Jing Zhaoyin's door." They all suspect that their daughter has been kidnapped and used for alchemy......"

"In addition, some people say that they saw the alchemy furnace, which is carved with dragons and phoenixes, so it must be from the royal family. Now there are still some sons who are used to fooling around, saying that the priest they took the golden stone medicine once said that alchemy with virgin blood is a great tonic, which can make men fierce and fierce, and use this to suck women's qi veins to achieve the effect of immortality. In this way, many people secretly speculate that the person behind the scenes who allows the evil way to use human flesh and blood to seek immortality is the emperor. ”

After all, if you become the emperor of long live, even if you are a virtuous king, you can't really live a long life. In the eyes of everyone, the person who wants to live the most in the world must be the emperor.

Xiao Qinglang frowned, he had expected this matter, but he didn't expect it to develop so fast, and even so outrageous.

"What about Sikong Han? Can you find the source of the rumors? ”

Tang Qiaozheng glanced at Xiao Qinglang, and saw that his brows were tightly locked, and his eyes were deep and a little fierce, so he didn't dare to look at it anymore, and hurriedly lowered his head and replied.

"Lord Sikong has already gone to Jingzhao Mansion, and the person who released the rumors has not yet been caught, because many vendors who walk the streets and alleys are also discussing this matter, so the rumors have spread all over the capital now. It's not easy to get to the source. ”

He said it in a very small voice, lest it would provoke Xiao Qinglang's anger. After all, as early as yesterday, the prince had expected this situation, but they still failed to catch the person who walked the rumors. It's a shame to think about it like that.

Xiao Qinglang's eyebrows tightened more and more, "Send someone to inquire, the people in the capital who don't often go out have started to go out, and they also know the rumors of alchemy." ”

The so-called rumors cannot come out of thin air, and if you want to find the source, you must first find the place where the rumors first arise. Although now, the people all over the capital are talking about it, but the most lively place must be the place where the person who spreads the rumors first tells it.

It is like the place of arising, and it will certainly be discussed more widely and more carefully than the other place. Although people in other places will also spread this rumor, there are many people who add fuel and vinegar, and they do not understand the details.

When Tang Qiao heard this, he instantly figured out the joints, he was really blind, he didn't expect this. Immediately, he did not delay, and after saluting, he personally led people out of the yamen in high spirits.

Of course, he didn't need to do it in person to investigate the rumors in the market, and he naturally wanted to personally invite Dong Ruiyang to come to ask him to come to interrogate this time.

After all, depending on the meaning of the prince, this time the heirs came, and he had no intention of using the guards around him to catch him. But if it's just a small servant, I'm afraid I can't suppress Dong Ruiyang. Thinking about it, only he can go in person, one can make a round, and the other can explore the virtual reality.

Xiao Qinglang saw that he wanted to take someone to find Dong Ruiyang, and said coldly: "He is just a cloth merchant, and he is also worthy of Dali Siqing to go in person?" Directly let the officials of the yamen go, and if there is resistance, they will be escorted back directly. ”

After a pause, he took out the roster given to him by Ning Subai from his sleeve, and then threw it in Tang Qiaozheng's arms and said: "You go and look for people according to the roster, and all those who know that Dong Ruiyang is taking pills and can't be humane will be brought back to the yamen for questioning." In addition, carefully interrogate them if they know a female Taoist aunt who is less than two feet long and about 20 years old! ”

Tang Qiao hurriedly picked up the roster, and after looking through it slightly, he didn't dare to linger, so he hurriedly went to do it.

Compared with the name of the prince, Dong Ruiyang is really not a person who can be on the stage. Besides, he also saw that the prince really wanted to take the Dong family. The so-called arms can't twist the thighs, even if the Dong family has the protection of the emperor's will, but I'm afraid that it can't compete with the prince and the present.

After he left, Xiao Qinglang's calm and cold face flashed with a trace of melancholy. He rubbed his forehead a little tiredly, and after a moment he walked sideways to the horse and said, "Enter the palace." ”

The words are concise and to the point, but they contain the momentum of thunder, and it can be seen that he has long been dissatisfied with the Dong family and this case.
