Tang Yun quickly said this conjecture.

Wan Jinhai gasped in disbelief, he leaned over to the two Ruoshui's corpses to take a closer look, and then sighed: "Lord Tang is really more meticulous than me. ”

Both of them found clues in Wakasui's corpse, where almost all of them had been stabbed alive into a stake. Judging from their dead expressions and the faint signs of struggle on the stake, they had a very painful experience on the stake.

The top of the stake is pointed, but not particularly sharp.

Therefore, the person who is placed on it will feel that his internal organs are slowly penetrated, and eventually he will slowly die.

It's almost a torture, someone is here, tortured these people to death.

But Ruoshui was different, their expressions seemed to be very indifferent, Tang Yun carefully observed the wounds, and found several fatal wounds each.

Two scars, both in the same position. Tang Yun opened the wound and asked a small yellow door to take some water and clean the blood stains on it.

Wan Jinhai saw the wound, pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go and examine the other people's corpses carefully." ”

Because of the fear of destroying any clues, the autopsy has always been carried out on wooden stakes. This place is already very gloomy, and the weather is a little gloomy today, and in the midst of a group of corpses, several small yellow doors are already trembling.

Wan Jinhai was experienced, and after examining all the corpses, he deduced that these people were different from Ruoshui, and their fatal injuries were the puncture wounds of this wooden stake, although there were some skin injuries on the epidermis, but none of them were fatal.

Wan Jinhai muttered, "It's strange, this criminal law seems to have been seen somewhere." ”

He is the Shaoqing of Sixing Temple, and he often sees executions on weekdays, so he is very familiar with various punishments. Tang Yun noticed that his eyes lit up, as if he remembered something, but he stopped talking.

Xiao Qianqin didn't notice Wan Jinhai's expression, but stood in front of Ruoshui, gently caressing their faces.

"These are hard-working children, who have no parents since they were young. Outsiders only look at how majestic Ruoshui is, but they don't know how much training they have undergone since childhood. Those who are eliminated can only die, and only those who survive can serve His Majesty. ”

A trace of pity flashed in Xiao Qianqin's eyes.

At this time, a eunuch came outside, and when he was far away, he bent down and said respectfully: "Wait for the edict, Your Majesty declares that you will go to the Baifu Hall to see the driver quickly." ”

Xiao Qianqin nodded, and then, she turned her head to look at Tang Yun again: "Brother Tang, Master Wan." Since this thing may have been done by a monster, it may also be man-made. But no matter which outcome it is, it is inseparable from the two. After all, this case happened in the palace, and it is related to His Majesty's safety, and I hope the two of you can do their best to complete it. ”

Tang Yun and Wan Jin Haiqi claimed to be and kept sending Xiao Qianqin to the door.

When leaving, Xiao Qianqin suddenly took out a sachet from his sleeve and put it into Tang Yun's hand.

"I forgot to say that I gave this to you when we met...... I think it's a reward for thanking you for handling the case. ”

Sensing Tang Yun's gaze, Xiao Qianqin suddenly blushed, lowered her head and left quickly.

Wan Jinhai sighed in his heart, no wonder he could meet Tang Yun and Xiao Qianqin in the restaurant, it turned out that they had long been concubines.

Xiao Zhizhao is a celebrity around His Majesty, and it is even rumored in the palace that the empress treats Xiao Zhizhao more closely than the prince. Being able to interact with such a character, Wan Jinhai looked at Tang Yun's back and couldn't help but feel a little more in awe.

After Xiao Qianqin left, Tang Yun turned his head and asked, "Lord Wan, what did you want to say just now, now that the edict is gone, you can tell me." ”

Wan Jinhai's expression suddenly became serious, and he said in a condensed voice: "I do see it." ”

The two returned to the backyard, and Wan Jinhai told Tang Yun that he had only seen this method of execution in one place.

Wan Jinhai said: "That is the wooden stake punishment created by Lu Yuanhao, the former prince of Qin. ”

Lu Yuanhao is the elder brother of King Yan and King Liang. After the large-scale invasion of the Northern Wilderness in the late Qin Dynasty, Emperor Heyang died in battle.

As the word intended, the stake punishment is such a punishment for criminals. When a stake pierces a person's body, the person does not die immediately, but endures the torment in an extremely painful position.

At the end of the Great Qin, the entire imperial court was already crumbling, and rebels came one after another. At that time, Lu Yuanhao was ordered to lead the army to suppress it.

No court will be soft on the rebels.

At that time, the entire southern part of Great Qin was completely in chaos, and many Tusi relied on their hereditary replacement, established a strong force, and fought against the government.

However, those rebels were able to defeat the local garrison one after another, but they could not resist the elite iron cavalry of Great Qin at all. At that time, many people died, and many toasts in the south were wiped out by the Nine Clans, and the smell of blood could be smelled in the air.

In order to deter others, Lu Yuanhao built a high platform with many sharp wooden stakes with sharp tops cut out of wood. Put the living traitor on it and let him die a little by little by being pierced by a stake.

The entire execution process was carried out in the downtown area.

It is said that after watching the execution, someone went crazy the next day. For a while, the Southern Wilderness of the entire Great Qin was noisy, and the originally invincible Tusi all died down and did not dare to make a sound. Lu Yuanhao was in the Southern Wilderness, and even became the embodiment of the fierce god.

Wan Jinhai said with a solemn look in his eyes: "I also checked the records on Sixing Temple at the beginning, only to find out that there is such a thing. The record was written by a general in the army, and it was accompanied by drawings, so I remember it very well. ”

Wan Jinhai looked around and said, "If my guess is right, this should be the Zhenxu Hall of the former Qin Prince Lu Yuanhao's bedroom." Since the murderer has reproduced the execution methods of the former Qin prince here, does it mean something......"

Tang Yun frowned and said, "Lord Wan, I can't draw conclusions yet. We are new to the city, and we don't understand a lot of things, so we still have to ask more. ”

So, the two called the eunuchs who had just left.

As soon as the legend in this deep palace was mentioned, several eunuchs suddenly came to their senses. They babbled, telling everything they knew.

Tang Yun listened attentively, most of these legends were some ghosts and gods. But Wan Jinhai didn't think so, he looked around in this palace for clues.

When the eunuchs had finished speaking, Tang Yun sent them away and told them that no one was allowed to come in without his permission.

Wan Jinhai groaned: "There are no traces of fighting inside, it is hard to imagine how these forbidden troops were subdued." ”

Tang Yun nodded and walked out of the window in the palace.

From here, you can see the backyard, and outside the window, there is a shocking wooden stake execution.

"It's very simple, since they were all killed in the middle of the night, let's stay in this palace for the night."
