However, Xu Chu didn't care about the ridicule in his words, and only frowned and said unhappily, "So, doesn't the prince really need to rest?" ”

Xiao Qinglang was dumbfounded, and before his ridiculous expression could be put away, he was choked.

However, Xu Chu did not let him go, and continued, "If the prince stays up day and night, he will inevitably hurt himself. If you insist on going your own way, I naturally can't persuade you, but I have to inform the prince in advance, although I don't judge people by their appearance, but I also love the prince's handsome appearance. If the prince stays up late for a long time, causing the hairline to move up, or becomes a bald, fat, pot-bellied greasy prince, or has an old face and a weak body, then I have to find other handsome young men to attract my eyes."

When Xiao Qinglang heard this, his whole person felt a little bad. Although he knew that it was just Xiao Chu casually talking, as long as he thought of his decadence and old age, and Xiao Chu was still heroic and would meet a better man, his heart felt like a thorn.

Just when the two of them put aside the case and talked about the words on the side, they heard Wei Guang say outside the door, "Lord Wang, Lord Xu, do you want dinner?" ”

At this time, Xu Chu suddenly realized that it was not early at this time.

Naturally, she would not linger any longer, and told Xiao Qinglang a few more words, and agreed to enter the palace to check the secret passage on the second day, and then took the paper she recorded and left.

After she left, Xiao Qinglang summoned Wei Guang to come and instructed, "Go to the inner court to spread the word, let people start from the palace people at the time of Emperor Chengzong, and find eunuchs or palace maids who have gone through the two generations of emperors of Emperor Chengzong and Emperor Xian." ”

When Wei Guang responded, he opened his mouth and added, "In addition, focus on screening the palace people who followed Emperor Chengzong or Empress Gongshun, or served Empress Gongshun before she moved into Fengqi Palace. ”

After Wei Guang left, Xiao Qinglang took a deep breath. In fact, he couldn't get these things accurately, so he didn't mention them to Xu Chu just now. When there is a result today, tomorrow I will have to discuss it with my own Xiao Chu Haosheng.

Xiao Qinglang clarified his thoughts, raised his hand and took the file above the bookcase for review. The lights were dim, and he didn't rest until the sky outside became more and more gloomy.

When I was halfway through, I saw an official sedan chair hurrying towards the Jing'an Palace.

After getting off the sedan chair, Tang Qiaozheng climbed out of the sedan chair crookedly, but his face really looked like he had suffered a great sin.

"My lord, are you alright?" The official on the side asked in a low voice.

Tang Qiaozheng waved his hand to show that it was okay, and said weakly, "Go and report it, and say that this official has something important to ask to see the prince." ”

Seeing that his face was anxious, the official did not dare to delay, and hurriedly went to the porter to speak.

Xiao Qinglang heard that Tang Qiao was asking to see him, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "There was a result so quickly?" ”

He thought that the doorkeeper would have to spend five or six days before he spit. Regardless of the side, just talking about the situation in the dark room of the Danding faction is enough for him to lose his head. Even if he doesn't admit his guilt, he can't get rid of the charge of being an accomplice.

If it was an ordinary criminal name, he might be able to save his life. However, the practice of tantric human sacrifice is an unpardonable crime, and even an accomplice cannot escape death.

Tang Qiaozheng's face was still a little ugly, but after seeing Xiao Qinglang, his face still showed joy. He bowed his hand, and then replied, "Lord Wang, that person has confessed." ”

"Tell me about it."

"Back to the prince's words, as the prince expected, he really wanted to avenge the Jingxu master, so he deliberately blew up the Danfang, directing the attention of the government to the Xuanyang Daoist. According to him, in fact, the child in the womb of Master Jingxu is a Xuanyang Daoist. ”

Xiao Qinglang raised his eyebrows and motioned for him to hand over the confession.

The confession was concise and coherent.

According to the meaning of that Daoist, Master Jingxu has been inferior and introverted since he was a child due to physical illness, until he saved the Xuanyang Daoist. Xuanyang Daoist has delicate eyebrows and treats people gently and politely, which makes Jingxu Master Taifang secretly agree, and then the two of them somehow secretly got married.

This matter was known to the gatekeepers, or because when the two of them were alchemy in the Dong family's courtyard, Master Jingxu asked him to bring tocolytic medicine.

However, Master Jingxu wanted to keep the child too much, and Xuanyang Daoist intended to be the national teacher, so he forced her to kill the child.

Master Jingxu is too naturally unwilling, the so-called motherhood is strong, and women have always been like this. Later, in order to save the child, Master Jingxu wanted to leave. However, Xuanyang was worried that the incident would happen in the future and hinder his future, so he secretly put Wushi Powder into the fetal pill and coaxed Jingxu to take it.

After that, it was probably the same as what Xu Chu and Xiao Qinglang guessed. In order to conceal the crime, Xuanyang asked Dong Ruiyang to find a girl with a similar height and posture as Jingxu Shitai to be used for medicine.

If the Dong family's affairs happen, then the final charges will naturally be borne by Dong Ruiyang.

However, he didn't expect that a Xu Chu would appear in the capital, and he noticed the inappropriateness of the corpse at a glance.

"Lord Wang, there is one more thing, the lower officials really don't know how to write it into the file." Tang Qiaozheng hesitantly glanced at Xiao Qinglang, who had a normal complexion, "According to the gatekeepers, Xuanyang Dao people had the habit of taking pills long before they entered the Danding Sect, and their bodies were already empty. Even between him and Master Jingxu, he used drugs to force himself. After Jingxu died, he began to have a side fetish."

"While he treats the girls very well, he often tricks the girls into taking Wushisan, and then commits indecent acts"

"For this reason, almost all of the five stone scatters that the Danding faction has saved for many years have been used up by him."

Xiao Qinglang's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice, "According to the truth, the file is the shadow of all cases, and there must be no differences or deficiencies when recording." ”

After he finished speaking, he continued to read the confession.

Xu thought of all the things of the Danding faction, which made Xiao Qinglang raise his brows and sigh.

"Xuanyang Daoist is actually proficient in medical Dao? He could even tell if the medicine in the pill he sent was poisonous? Xiao Qinglang's palm turned slightly, and his finger was on the confession, "Moreover, there are guards hidden by his side, which can make him save the day, and he is not even afraid of the black hands of others!" That night, the gatekeeper desperately tried to kill him, but in the end he missed, and Xuanyang was kidnapped. ”

This explains why the gatekeeper clearly wants revenge, but he can't poison it, let alone assassinate it.

However, how can a small Taoist be able to be protected? Without thinking about it, it must be just as they guessed, the identity of the Xuanyang Dao people is different.

Thinking that these were all expected things, Xiao Qinglang didn't think too deeply. After he turned a few pages, his eyes fell on the words Danding Sect's dark room.

At the time of the first emperor, the reason why the Danding faction was prosperous was mostly because a noble man spent a huge amount of money. And the only request of that nobleman was to build a place for his wife to use for the resurrection spell.

Resurrection from the dead, which is also recorded in Taoist books, is to use the seven-star lamp life continuation technique, spirit collection, silence, essence and other means to forcibly go against the sky. It's just that if you practice such a spell, one is to ask the caster to practice profoundly, and the other is to rob others of the soul essence of life, which is really harmful. What's more, those are all records in ancient books, and they have never heard of anyone who can really bring the dead back to life.

At that time, the Guan Zhu was tempted by wealth and wanted to strengthen the Danding faction, so he responded to that incident.

It's a pity that the contemplator died of illness not long after, and there are no more advanced cultivators in the Taoist temple. At that time, the Taoist temple was faced with the anger of the nobles and the disheartened people in the Taoist temple, but fortunately, Xuanyang and Jingxu came forward, and I don't know what method was used to stabilize the anger of the nobles.

After that, the two of them began to perform the resurrection technique of corpse spells in the dark room. Xu is their name has been beaten, so the Dong family has also built a special courtyard for them to use to help refine the elixir.

However, over the years, the gatekeeper has not seen that noble man again. Until the Taoist priests and Taoist children of the Taoist temple were dismissed, he was the only one who stayed to take care of the noble lady in the dark room, and at the same time prayed that this lady would be resurrected as soon as possible and that he would not commit murder

After the death of the Emperor, the noble man never urged the resurrection, and it was as if he had forgotten that the body of his wife was still preserved here

Xiao Qinglang secretly thought in his heart, if this confession is true, then it can basically be inferred that the nobleman of the year should be the British Gong. But shouldn't the British duke at that time be terminally ill and have no medicine stones? How can you do these things in private?

In addition, they were used by the British public at that time, so how could they be involved with the Dong family? The courtyard built by the Dong family was after Dong Guifei was favored, nominally for the use of the concubine's relatives, how did it become a place for special alchemy?

However, if you really want to be like this, then it can also be explained, how could the skeleton of Jingxu Shitai, who died more than 20 years ago, appear in the Dong family's courtyard. At the same time, it makes sense to explain how the Dan furnace used for the first emperor's alchemy in the palace appeared in the dark room Dan room of the Dong family's courtyard, as well as Dong Guifei's funeral gems.

Thinking of this, eight words suddenly appeared in Xiao Qinglang's mind, hiding from the sky and the sea to secretly Chen Cang.

Perhaps the first emperor did not wake up, but due to the pressure of the world and the courtiers, he had to show his disgust with alchemy and evil ways in front of everyone. But in fact, he transferred Xuanyang and Yiying alchemy equipment to the Dong family's courtyard. At the same time, he also took advantage of the burial of Concubine Dong Guifei to transport the Dan furnace and gems out

Xiao Qinglang furrowed his brows, and secretly thought about a few points in time. In the thirty-sixth year of the first emperor, the Xuanyang Taoist abandoned the red dust to enter the cultivation, and in the fifty-third year of the first emperor, he began to obsess over alchemy in order to seek immortality. Three years later, the first emperor came to his senses, and in the same year, that is, in the fifty-sixth year, he killed people and sealed his mouth in Changli Palace.
