Xiao Ling nodded, and then lifted a few tiles along the outermost part of the roof, she looked inside, the inside was still very shabby, Xiao Ling stretched out her arm and put the hook in her hand into it, and dragged it again, and after confirming that it was safe, she said to Ji Qingyi: "It's okay." ”

Ji Qingyi pushed down Ah Wudao, who was still in a panic: "You climb up first." ”

Ah Wu nodded stunned and said, "Okay." ”

Ji Qingyi dragged him below, Ah Wu dragged the rope with both hands and slowly climbed up, and when he climbed to the edge of the wall, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the edge of the wall, and then sat down.

Ji Qingyi pulled back the rope and said to Ah Wu: "You sit there and don't move." ”

Ah Wu nodded stunned, Ji Qingyi glanced at the rope, and then pulled the rope and climbed up, and when she climbed to the wall, Xiao Ling put the rope on the beam on the side closest to the wall, Ji Qingyi glanced at Ah Wu and said, "Let's climb over there, can you?" ”

Ah Wu nodded hurriedly and said, "I, I'm the best at climbing the wall." ”

Saying that, Ah Wu took the lead in climbing along the wall, Ji Qingyi followed behind him, and when he climbed to the side of the rope, Xiao Ling said: "I'll show you, and it will be convenient to pick you up after you go down." ”

So saying, she climbed down the rope from above, but there was a gap between the wing room and the wall, and she had to hook the wall with her feet. After Xiao Ling went down, Ji Qingyi said to Ah Wu: "Go down." ”

Ah Wu held the rope and climbed down, but when he was halfway up, he was not tall enough, and he couldn't reach the wall. Ji Qingyi said to this Xiao Ling: "You pull the tail end of the rope and pull it back, try to get him close to the wall." ”

Xiao Ling nodded when he heard this, and pulled the rope back as much as possible according to the method of sending Qingyi, Ah Wu gritted his teeth and jumped down, and then jumped to the ground.

Ji Qingyi saw that Ah Wu landed safely, so he also climbed down holding the rope, and after waiting for the ground, Xiao Ling pulled hard and pulled out all those things. Ji Qingyi hadn't forgotten the attic, so he cautiously walked to the place where he saw the attic before, but when he looked up, he found that it was a road, and the three of them were shocked for a moment, and then they hurriedly ran back, and after running out of that place, the three of them held on to the wall and gasped.

Xiao Ling swallowed his saliva and said, "What did you see when you went back just now?" ”

Ji Qingyi licked her lips and said, "I just proved what you think, that person is indeed not a eunuch, and those who are crawling on the ground can no longer be regarded as people." ”

Xiao Ling moved his lips and said, "What do you say?" ”

"Human Gu." Ji Qingyi took a deep breath and said: "The people in there have all been made into human Gu, although they are palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, it is estimated that they used to take care of the emperor's daily life, but now, they have all been made into human Gu by Xiao Kun." ”

Ji Qingyi straightened up and continued to walk forward: "I don't know why Xiao Xiao did this, but what is certain is that he wants to kill all those who have evidence left on his body. ”

Xiao Ling chased after him and said, "Then what are we going to do?" He killed them all, so isn't there no evidence we're looking for? ”

Ji Qingyi frowned and said, "Do you think that attic has anything to do with Xiao Kun?" ”

Xiao Ling shook his head, his expression was still surprised: "We and He have seen such a thing in the palace, it is enough to have an attic, and it can disappear." ”

Ji Qingyi continued to walk forward and thought for a while: "All the cases in it are case files, so this thing should be set up in the palace, you say, could it be the Qimen gossip that Princess Luanying said before?" ”

"Qimen gossip?" Xiao Ling pursed his lips and thought for a while: "There is a possibility, but why did it suddenly appear?" ”

Ji Qingyi shook his head and said, "Suddenly appeared and disappeared." ”

Ah Wu listened for a long time, and then interjected weakly: "Could it be that the emperor has a spirit in the sky and is here to help us?" ”

Ji Qingyi touched Ah Wu's head quite lovingly and said, "Your imagination is very beautiful. ”

Then he looked up and said to Xiao Ling: "Let's go back to Princess Luanying first." ”

The three of them returned to Princess Luanying's palace, went to the ancestral hall and didn't see Princess Luanying again, Ah Wu dragged a palace maid and asked, "Where is the princess?" ”

The palace maid stroked her body and said, "The princess is out, I don't know where she went." ”

Ji Qingyi looked at Xiao Ling and said, "Why don't we go back first and see how Xiao Jin's investigation goes." ”

Xiao Ling looked at Ah Wu, handed him the waist card and said, "When you wait for your aunt to come back, tell her that we will go back first." ”

Ah Wu tugged Xiao Ling's arm and said, "I'm scared myself, can you take me away." ”

Ji Qingyi squatted down and coaxed: "If you want to stay here with Princess Luanying, it will be very dangerous to follow us." ”

Ah Wuyan nodded reluctantly.

When Ji Qingyi and Xiao Ling returned to the mansion, Xiao Jin and Hongchen had already returned. They were sitting in the main hall, and after the two walked in, Hongchen asked, "Did you find anything?" ”

Ji Qingyi and Xiao Ling both turned pale, and Xiao Jin hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Ling pursed his lips and said, "We encountered something very strange. ”

"Weird?" Hongchen hurriedly asked, "What's weird?"

Ji Qingyi raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Jin and Hongchen: "We found an attic in the palace, a very old attic, which is full of case files, and there is a mechanism on the second floor, and the door inside cannot be opened. ”

When Hongchen heard this, he asked suspiciously: "Aren't you going to ask those servants who take care of the emperor's daily life?" ”

Xiao Ling rubbed his arm and said, "Yes, we are looking for it, but we have already started in advance by Xiao Ling." ”

Xiao Jin frowned and said, "Among the people who came in and out of the imperial city today, two of them said that they were dead bodies brought out of the courtyard of the palace, and they said that they had the plague. ”

Ji Qingyi nodded and said, "We saw it, they just want to use the origin of the plague to fool around." ”

Xiao Jin pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said, "The attic you said is full of case files?" ”

Ji Qingyi pursed her lips and said, "We want to use that attic to jump to the side courtyard." ”

"Did you go in?" Hongchen asked hurriedly.

Ji Qingyi nodded with a complicated expression and said, "I went in, but when we looked up after we went in, the attic disappeared." ”

"Hey~" Xiao Ling rubbed his arms again and said, "We were all going to be scared to death at that time, so I would have asked you to go to the palace to check." ”

Hongchen and Xiao Jin's brows were furrowed, and Xiao Jin said in a deep voice: "You go on." ”

Ji Qingyi cleared his throat and said, "I suspect that there should be Qimen gossip, and the important discovery is later, but I don't know if this discovery is useful for now." Because I put a seal on the side courtyard, I was sealed by Grandpa Gao, but I suspected that there were still people inside, so we prepared to climb over the wall and go in. ”

"The place we went in was at the back of the side courtyard, and it was like there had been no one living in it for a long time, and we walked for a long time to get to the main entrance, and it was there that we saw a very terrifying scene." Ji Qingyi's expression was gloomy and he said slowly.

Xiao Jin asked in a deep voice, "How terrifying?" ”

Ji Qingyi coughed lightly and said, "Those who used to serve the emperor's daily life have become human Gu similar to human beings. Their eyes were gouged out, their tongues cut out, and their limbs twisted into strange shapes. There were also many jars in the courtyard, and a man pretending to be a eunuch had put them in. ”

Hongchen grew up in shock and said, "You mean? Someone killed someone in the palace? ”

Moreover, and to kill so many people......

Ji Qingyi pursed her lips and said, "It's not someone, I suspect it's Xiao Kun."

Xiao Jin nodded and said, "There will definitely be clues on those who serve, and Xiao Kun also knows that we will definitely find those people, so he cleared out all these people."

"Another point is that these people have been made into human Gu, and they will definitely transport these people out, so we will investigate the exit of the palace tonight. Perhaps, they can find out the nest where they placed the human Gu. ”

Xiao Jin nodded and said, "Hongchen and I investigated the recent records of the imperial city's import and export, and we didn't find anything special. ”

Ji Qingyi walked to the chair and sat down and said: "Of course you can't find anything, because Xiao Kun didn't make any moves before, he just waited for the emperor to die, and then usurped the throne, and used himself to become the emperor to use his power." ”

Hongchen nodded thoughtfully and said, "Do you have any ideas?" ”

Ji Qingyi's expression was gloomy, and he was very worried: "No, now all the clues are only those minions who have been made into human Gu, but these minions are not the most powerful proof, if you want to bring down Xiao Kun, this is not enough." ”

Xiao Kun is cunning, there are not many things he can do, but it is very deadly, and even Ji Qingyi has a headache.

Xiao Jin took out those handwritten oracles from his arms and said: "These are the emperor's handwritten edicts, it is difficult to imitate a person's self, but it is not completely impossible, if Xiao Kun had premeditated, he must have thought about this point, but we can't see the holy decree read by Gao Gonggong now, so even if there is any doubt, there is no way to confirm it." ”

Ji Qingyi took the holy decree from Xiao Jin's hand and flipped through it casually, and when he turned to the last few articles, he suddenly looked stunned, and then turned back at a faster speed.

Xiao Jin saw her strange expression, so he asked, "What did you find?" ”

Ji Qingyi slumped those edicts onto the table, took out one of them and put it in the middle, looked up and asked Xiao Jindao, "How did you get this edict?" ”

Xiao Jin said lightly: "I'm not you, I'll remember it once." ”

Ji Qingyi rolled her eyes slightly, thinking to herself, do you have my brain? This girl is a person who has experienced the college entrance examination, the graduate school entrance examination, and the promotion to the doctorate. At most, you will memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, and you dare to speak rudely!
