The soldiers rushed into the palace of King Jing and searched the entire courtyard, but they could not find the figure of the impostor. Although no one dared to be presumptuous in this mansion, a search still scared the people in the mansion a lot.

I heard from the people in the house that the old man of the Shen family went out for a stroll this morning and has not come back yet.

Ran, actually ran? Xu Yongchang was very annoyed in his heart, but he heard from the people in the house that the imposter had always been like this, always setting off at dawn, sometimes coming back in the middle of the day, and sometimes in the middle of the night.

Sometimes it carries a huge burlap bag, sometimes it is a package the size of a watermelon. It's bulging, and no one knows what's in it.

It dawned on him that it might not be as simple as they had imagined.

Xu Yongchang immediately asked someone to rummage through his room, which scared the two aunts who were like flowers. When he brought the two women out, he noticed that one of the aunts was already pregnant, and her lower abdomen was slightly bulging.

Xu Yongchang sighed, and heard the soldier report that nothing was found in the imposter's room.

He immediately felt puzzled, how could he not find anything when he left early and returned late alone, and he still carried some inexplicable big bags?

In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard a noisy noise of soldiers coming from the room. He followed the sound and walked in, and saw several circles of people around the house, looking around something in surprise.

Xu Yongchang leaned up, but saw a hole dug out near the root of the wall, the hole was downward, pitch black, and he turned into it in a place that was not deep, and then he blocked his vision. The hole was originally covered by a wooden cabinet, which was discovered because someone did not roll a jade pig ornament under the wooden cabinet.

"Tell someone to go down and have a look." Xu Yongchang said.

The dark cavern was barely enough for a small man to pass through, a soldier jumped off with a rope tied, and another handed a lamp. He hunched over and cautiously walked inside.

He suddenly screamed, and the lamp and candle in his hand fell to the ground abruptly, and he crawled out of it, standing outside the cave, still gasping.

"What's inside?" Xu Yongchang asked him with a frown.

"Yes, yes......" the soldier couldn't say clearly.

Xu Yongchang glanced at him angrily, took the rope and said, "I'll go down and take a look." ”

"Can't go, General, really can't go."

When Xu Yongchang saw his shocked appearance, he also felt that there must be something dirty and filthy in the cave, so he told everyone to disperse, break the wall, and open the whole hole.

The people present were stunned by the plot that caught their eyes. The scene underground resembles a niche in the imperial tomb.

The difference is that the neatly placed inside is not a precious burial goods, but a variety of strange animal bones, the crystal tank is crawling with poisonous insects, the black scorpion is cocking its hook-like tail, the toad with evil spots is oozing milky white pus, and there are all kinds of long snakes entrenched in a thick blood, and some unnamed, terrifying-looking poisonous insects are still gnawing at a woman's arm. In one corner of the cave, human skeletons and the clothes of men and women were scattered around.

"What's, what is this?" Xu Yongchang was stunned.

After the report was made to Nanjingpei, Dali Temple immediately sent a servant to conduct an autopsy, and it was found that the owners of those human bones had died of a plague. Once people die of disease, they will be eaten by these carefully cultivated poisons and turned into a pile of dry bones.

Pestilence...... Xu Yongchang shuddered.

Nan Jingpei was furious, and immediately dispatched 3,000 elite horsemen to chase after the fugitive. The emperor personally supervised it, and the imposter did not run away. Soon the impostor fell into the legal net of the government, and after severe torture, he learned that this guy had entered the Xinwang Mansion as an errand six years ago.

Because he was proficient in the use of poison, he believed that the king gave him the name of the owl.

The owl originally looked very similar to Shen Wenzhong, as long as it was properly groomed, it would not be noticed. Therefore, at the beginning, he also relied on this face and a set of imitations of the official seal letter to swagger in the Tai Hospital, and personally added the ground gallbladder to the medicine presented by Shen Wenzhong to the queen.

But he didn't think that his poisoning was revealed by a little eunuch, and asked Shen Wenzhong on the head, Shen Wenzhong was naturally confused, shouting wronged, the emperor ordered a thorough investigation, and when Shun Teng touched the melon and was about to find out the head of King Xin, Nan Yinglin could only take a risk, and took the opportunity to put the emperor in a trick and convict the Shen family coffin.

He would never say these words in his life, but he couldn't stand a beating in Dali Temple. The torture instrument of Dali Temple he only tasted the third thing and his skin was already open, he really couldn't stand it, so he simply shook out the evil thing that he had sat down for the tiger.

In addition to this incident, he also confessed to another crime. A year ago, a plague broke out in the capital, and the cause was that King Shin deliberately caught a few beggars in order to test whether the disease he had cultivated was working, and then threw a few sick beggars into the well in the middle of the night.

Since ancient times, when something happens to a natural disaster, or such a large-scale epidemic, it can be said that the king is not virtuous, causing the heavens to condemn sin. King Xin can take the opportunity to attack Nan Jingpei, saying that he is not virtuous and has been punished by heaven.

He did this in the Jingwang Mansion this time, originally under the order of Nan Yinglin, preparing to spread the disease to the Northern Han, so as to solve Xu Yongchang's army. The military camp is densely populated, and once it is infected with an epidemic, it can spread to ten, ten to hundred, and then the entire army falls apart and disintegrates in an instant.

Bastard, bastard! Nan Jingpei was furious, and there was almost fire in his eyes. The confession that had just been submitted was placed on the table, and he couldn't believe that all of them were inseparable from Nan Yinglin. There is even that bold and bold owl, who is still practicing evil magic in the palace of King Jing, which is really unbearable.

This is not all, when the emperor's Luan drove before he arrived at the palace gate, someone had the courage to sue the emperor, saying that when Nan Yinglin was in power, he connived at his armed family to rob the people's daughters, and beat people to death, in order to cover up the crime, they tried to use money to settle everything, but it was unsuccessful, and the armed forces could only find another trumped-up charge to put the men in the people's women's family to prison, and the female dependents were still robbed to the house.

Nan Jingpei immediately ordered a thorough investigation, and Dali Temple turned out all the case files during the reign of the puppet emperor, one by one, this verification did not matter, but found that nearly half of the case files were unjust and wrongly convicted. Some of the cases have been overturned because the innocent people involved in the case have already been sentenced to death, or some have fled overnight in order to avoid punishment, and have not been heard from since.

As a last resort, Dali Temple could only re-arraign those files that could still be overturned, and for several months, almost all the government offices in the capital that could hear the case were paralyzed.

The emperor ordered that in order to show the determination of the imperial court to clear the wrongs, every time an unjust case was overturned, the four officials of Dali Temple would personally escort the prisoners out of prison. This back and forth, I actually found a beaten and dying man in a remote corner.

The fourth rank official can usually meet the emperor in person, and naturally he has also seen this person, who is the long-missing chief eunuch Donglai.

He used to be fat and cute, but now he is tortured and skinny, and his shape is broken.

He was tied up by Wu Bei from the back mountain of Baoxiang Temple and imprisoned here, and Wu Bei once instructed the jailer to make him a punishment every day, and not to slack off for a day. Fortunately, the jailer was also a little tired, otherwise even if he had ten lives in the east, he would have already gone west.

He was immediately carried back to the palace for treatment, and Shen Wenzhong personally sat in the hall to diagnose the pulse, discussing pranayama with Wang Pintang on the one hand, and personally configuring the pills for sustaining qi and prolonging life.

Nan Jingpei also went to see him, standing at the door and watching the doctors busy, he stared for a long time, but he still couldn't believe his eyes, the skinny man in front of him, was it really the sleek and loyal fat man Donglai?

Donglai woke up once in the chaos, but he only looked around weakly for a while, and then fell into a coma.

Nan Jingpei blew a cold wind in front of the window of the imperial study all night.

Misfortune is not a one-way street, although Nan Yinglin ran away, someone has to clean up the mess he left behind. In addition to the files of these various cases, there are also the newly submitted transcripts of the ministers and the war with Lu Guo.

Luo Ru had already led the army south, and he still went back to Lingnan Prefecture, but the country was initially decided, and Nan Jingpei still didn't want to use force to solve the affairs of Lu State.

The cold wind howled and stirred the window lattice, Nan Jingpei opened half of the window, and the wind poured in and hit him on the cheek. Today's wind is a bit like the wind of the northern cold, very fast and cold, blowing mercilessly, as if it wants to blow it all away.

At dawn, he finally felt a little exhausted, and returned to the table and slept for a while. He was half asleep and half awake, and suddenly felt something draped over his shoulders, he opened his eyes and saw that he was covered with a thin jacket, and Shen Yun was standing beside him gently.

She put one hand on his forehead, slightly warm.

When he saw that she was looking at her with concern, he got up and smiled at her, grabbed her hand and held it in his palm: "I'm fine." ”

She also smiled: "You also said it's okay, you see your palms are also hot." ”

He froze for a moment, then embraced her, and she sat on his lap with her hands around his neck. Nan Jingpei's forehead was against her cheek, and she said softly, "Zhen'er, how have you survived these days?" ”

Shen Yunzhen didn't know how to answer for a while, she remembered that those imperial historians had insulted her for her seductive deeds, so she didn't know how to explain this matter to him. He trusted her the most, and what would he think if he knew about it?

Her heart tightened suddenly, and she just stared at him.

Seeing her like this, Nan Jingpei also felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, his words must have pierced her heart, he was not around, she had to face the ruthless Nan Yinglin every day, how would she live that day?

He also went to the cabinet, and saw those who were left behind, and he also knew that the imperial historians impeached her for her beauty and misguided country, but he knew that she couldn't be blamed for this, she was just a defenseless woman, and her only weapon was her stunning appearance, and she wanted to use everything she had to protect their children, she had already been wronged, at this time, how could he bear to blame her?
