Soon, Queen Qi came with people, and the palace guards and doctors also received the news and hurried to check the body. Like the previous times, the little palace maid who stayed in the wine cellar was directly cut open in the chest, and the heart was gone.

Her companion fell to his knees, his body shaking like chaff, unable to utter even a complete sentence. The queen asked several times before she gave a general explanation. Since this kind of panic happened in the palace, the palace maid tried not to go out at night, but the king wanted to take the wine, no one dared to refuse, she begged for help, so she found a good relationship with the little sister to come with her, the two entered the wine cellar, but found that the wine jar was round, there was no way to carry it away, so I had to go back to get a tool.

Everyone knew in their hearts that it was impossible for this little palace maid to know more of the truth, and the inquiry was just a formality. Queen Qi was obviously annoyed by this matter, raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, and asked someone to take her down. Two guards stepped forward and dragged away the surviving little palace maid, one left and one right.

After a moment of silence, Queen Qi spoke, "Let's search around." Even the queen herself did not have much confidence in catching the murderer, and the guards answered "yes" and searched the paths near the cellar, using their swords to pluck through the grass and branches.

Seeing that he was about to search the place where Chu Ning and the three of them were hiding, Chu Ning pressed his hand on He Zhen's scattered hair and pressed down hard: "If you don't want to eat grass, hide it!" ”

He Zhen is a man transformed into a dignified heavenly horse, a pair of long legs can't wait to take up two-thirds of his body, in normal times, Chu Ning must laugh at "the neck is forked", but at this time, he feels that these legs are in the way, and he can't wait to see off a piece of it, so he pushed it in and pushed it hard, and then he stood up and walked in the direction of the search guard.

I don't know how it was so coincidental, it was Gu Caiwei who was on duty in the palace of Queen Qi at night, and she also came with the queen at this time. When she saw Chu Ning, she was slightly stunned, and then said in a strange manner: "The queen got the news and rushed over immediately, I didn't expect you to come so fast, did you walk fast, or did you know early that there would be a murder here tonight?" ”

Chu Ning walked up to Queen Qi and saluted, and then said, "Since the king and queen summoned us in, just for this matter, I will come out at night to see, is there anything wrong?" ”

She originally wanted to reply to such a sentence, no longer entangled with each other, even if this matter is over, the queen is very clear about their careful thoughts, and she will not be too harsh in the eventful autumn, but she didn't expect Gu Caiwei to stop doing it, she raised her eyes, and even her voice was a little higher: "Aren't you on duty at Mrs. Xiaowei's place, on duty at night, you don't stay where you are in place in the middle of the night, and you come out to wander around, this is leaving your post without permission." I just didn't go anywhere else, I just came here, I don't know if I was going to report to my accomplices, or if I was planning to destroy the evidence, and I didn't have time to do it yet? ”

Chu Ning turned her head to look at Gu Caiwei, and saw that her face was full of indignation, but her eyes flickered, knowing that she was already a little scared in her heart, but she still made an unforgiving look, and took a step forward and stopped in front of her: "If you have evidence, take it out, if not, I won't do it." ”

She deliberately argued loudly, giving He Zhen and Forget Worry a chance to continue hiding, and seeing that Queen Qi began to rub her forehead irritably, she said: "Queen, only search outside, I'm afraid there may not be any gains, the murderer is so cunning, it is estimated that he left after committing the crime, where will we find it?" Why don't you go inside the cellar and see if there are any traces left during the scuffle? ”

Gu Caiwei was already silent, but when she heard this, she sneered again: "You still say that others are climbing and biting indiscriminately? You don't let the guards search the neighborhood, and you don't know who you're trying to create a chance to escape......"

Before she finished speaking, a heavy coughing sound suddenly came from a dark path, Meng Liangyan walked over slowly, and said as he walked: "I think that Miss Chu Ning's words are reasonable, this person has succeeded many times, I am afraid that he escaped with the help of magic, and the search will indeed have no effect." ”

Meng Liangyan walked up to the queen, bowed down, and then turned his head and asked Chu Ning kindly: "Is your mother okay at home?" He made it clear that the old love was unforgettable, and he loved the house and Wu, and he unabashedly wanted to favor Chu Ning, Chu Ning had no choice but to nod, Gu Caiwei couldn't say anything anymore, greeted him with the courtesy of a student, and called "Teacher Yan".

When Queen Qi saw him coming, she was obviously relieved: "Why is Master Yan in the palace today?" ”

Meng Liangyan replied lightly: "I found a few flavors of medicine for the king, and as soon as I returned to Lindu, I went to the palace to visit the king, but I didn't expect to encounter this incident in the palace." ”

With Meng Liangyan here, Queen Qi had great respect for him, and the guards naturally listened to his orders, lit torches and prepared to enter the cellar to take a closer look. Chu Ning deliberately stayed at the end, and waved his hand heavily at the red-blonde head poking out of the grass, telling him not to move, making sure that the head was honestly retracted, and then he followed the person in front.

The cellar is unusually neat, with rows of jars on elm shelves that reach up to the ceiling on both sides, and the names of the wines are painted with gold dust at the seals of each jar. In the narrow corridor, there was no sign of struggle and scuffle, only a large amount of blood remained in the place where the murdered palace maid was first found.

Obviously, this murderer's methods are very powerful, and the palace maid had no chance to struggle, so she was stripped of her heart.

Chu Ning lowered his head and thought about it, when He Zhen came out of the wine cellar, he didn't notice anything unusual, and when another palace maid returned, she found that her companion was dead, and it was estimated that the murderer was the one who did it in the short time she interrogated He Zhen.

Meng Liangyan squatted down, looked carefully on the ground, gently brushed his fingers on the ground, put it under the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and when he stood up, he already looked solemn. The queen immediately understood what he meant, turned back and motioned to the maid she had brought, and led the guards out.

Seeing this, Chu Ning and Gu Caiwei were also about to withdraw, but the queen spoke: "Since you two are the selected quasi-inner priests, then stay and listen to what the master has to say." ”

After all the guards retreated, Meng Liangyan took out the spell sticks and sticks he was carrying, and wrote a few words with his fingers. The spell stick was in his hand, turning out a faint yellow luster, and there were suddenly countless tiny grains of sand on the ground, flying up like being swept by the wind, slowly converging on the spell stick. After the yellow luster faded, Meng Liangyan held the spell with one hand and handed it to the queen, asking her to take a look.

Above the spell, a small pile of yellow sand gathered. The queen glanced at it, her face immediately changed, and she asked in disbelief, "Yes...... The people of the Risha family? ”

This name is both familiar and unfamiliar to ordinary practitioners of Eastern Qi, Lu Sha and Su Yin, Witch Doctor, Ming Chef, and called the four great families, but ordinary people throughout their lives, it is difficult to see a person from the Lu Sha family, because the Lu Sha family replaces the Zhou royal family to guard the royal tomb, lives in the underground palace that does not see the light of day, and will not go out easily.

The origin of the Lusha family, originally was the most brave and warlike army when the Great Zhou Dynasty was founded, after generations of reproduction, has become a mysterious force, only obeyed the orders of the Great Zhou Emperor, because the killing spirit of the Lusha family is too heavy, after the Great Zhou royal family pacified the world, a special seal was added to their bloodline, so that their descendants can guard the royal tomb for generations, only when the situation is critical, can this mysterious force be summoned to fight.

Queen Qi was originally the princess of the Great Zhou, so she naturally knew all the rumors of the Lusha family, and asked: "Based on this fine sand alone, it may not be possible to conclude that the murderer is a member of the Lusha family, not to mention, the seal is incomprehensible, and the people of the Lusha family cannot leave the underground palace, how can they come here to kill people?" ”

Meng Liangyan folded the spell in half and folded it in half, just wrapped the fine sand that had been gathered up, and put it into his sleeve: "Things in this world are never absolute. The queen must have forgotten that there was an incident in the Lisha family decades ago, there was an evil species with the blood of Lisha, who escaped from the underground palace and lived by sucking human blood, but fortunately was later caught. ”

When Chu Ning heard the phrase "evil seed", he only felt harsh, but he felt that his disgust was unreasonable, after all, Meng Liangyan was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Meng Liangyan said solemnly to the queen: "Please ask the queen to show the king, thoroughly investigate this matter, don't continue to cover it up, human life is a matter of heaven, and the life of the palace maid is the same fate, if there is no better candidate, I am willing to ask the king for his life, and I will be responsible for this matter for the time being." ”

He had always been of great prestige, and he said these words with such righteousness that the queen could not refuse at all, so she agreed at once to come down and go to the king early the next morning to report to him.

With Meng Liangyan personally handling this matter, everyone was in high spirits, feeling that there was finally hope for this unsolved case.

For Chu Ning, she is more concerned about one other thing for the time being. After the queen and the guards had left that night, she went into the grass and called out Hezhen and Forget. With Hezhen's ability, it is not impossible to find an opportunity to sneak out from the guards, but Chu Ning held her own careful thoughts, and did not give up the idea of subduing Hezhen, and seeing the appearance of forgetting worries, she felt that her reasons were more sufficient, in case the two of them really became a couple in the future, she could not see Hezhen bullying and forgetting worries, and subduing him early, so that she could have no fear and lifelong happiness.

Chu Ning cleverly blew nonsense, saying that the guards of the Dongqi Palace were in the sky and not on the ground, and not even a fly could fly out, so he bluffed He Zhen and stayed by their side to avoid the limelight first.

But there is a real problem right now, is it good for such a big living person to hide there? After Hezhen suffered the loss last time, he didn't agree to change back into a horse form this time.
