The westernmost one of the rows of houses had been improvised into a room, and four charcoal-burned corpses were parked in the room, surrounded by five ice basins, and a pale white chill spilled through the cracks in the door.

Yao Qi took the picture scroll of Lao Tzu's exit from the customs and handed it to Han Changdu's hand very naturally, and then opened the door.

A chill came over my face.

It was a warm and sunny season, the sun was shining brightly, and the sun was shining, but it was cold and inexplicable in front of me.

Lan Wei winced at the door, and when she saw Han Changwan and Yao Qi walking into the room as usual, she also followed in.

There were four clean white cloths on the ground, and on top of the white cloth were four piles of black, twisted charcoal, and only a human figure could be faintly discerned.

Lan Yuan's scalp was numb, and she took two steps back and leaned against the door frame, the corners of her lips twitched, and she couldn't make a sound.

When Sun Ying heard the movement, he raised his head from his hard work, still holding the extremely thin blade in his hand, glanced at Lan Yuan, whose face was pale, and then turned his head to Yao Qi and snorted.

Yao Qi blinked meaningfully, with a smile on his face.

Sun Ying raised her eyebrows, and saluted Han Changdui: "My lord, there is still the last one, please wait for a while." ”

Han Changdui nodded and did not speak.

Sun Ying raised his chin towards the bookcase on the side, and naturally said unceremoniously: "Yao joins the army and writes down the test." ”

Yao Qi sighed, pouted and took the inspection booklet, filled the pen with ink, and looked at Sun Ying with raised eyes.

Only then did Lan Wei calm down, breathe a sigh of relief, and slowly moved to the front, not daring to look at it but wanting to look, glancing at the corpse one by one.

The more I looked, the more scared I became, and the chill I felt in my heart.

The thin blade slashed down the throat of the charred corpse and slashed all the way to the lower abdomen, and the charred black on the surface of the corpse fell sparsely, and the dead gray flesh inside churned out.

A pitiful bead of blood seeped out from the edge of the knife, drop by drop, and rolled down the charred ravines onto the white cloth.

The corpse looked very badly burned on the outside, and it looked like it was already charred, but the inside was fine, it was still normal flesh and skin.

Lan Yu let out a "vomit", covered his mouth and retreated behind the person.

Sun Ying glanced at Lan Yuan, and the long bamboo tweezers poked into the flesh, separated the cut flesh, and carefully searched inside.

As he examined, he spoke slowly: "The deceased was in his fifties, five feet and one inch tall, and fat. ”

Yao Ji took a pen to record and quickly glanced at the charred corpse.

At this age, this height, and this body type, he should be the most respected and favored by the saint.

Sun Ying continued: "The body was twisted, both hands and feet were grasped, and there was a small amount of food residue in the abdomen. He picked out the scraps of food and put them in a brass tray, and after carefully distinguishing them, he said, "It's mutton." ”

Han Changdui asked lightly, "What about the others?" ”

Sun Ying said: "The other three people all have a small amount of mutton residue in their abdomen. ”

Yao Qi quickly wrote it down in the book, sighing in his heart.

said that Qing Xiu only eats vegetarian and doesn't eat meat, and the co-author is one of the four people pit saints.

Hearing this, Lan Yu was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly: "Didn't you say that you were in Qing Xiu on the day of the accident, didn't Qing Xiu not allow you to eat meat, but only vegetarian?" ”

Han Changwan coughed lightly in embarrassment

One and asked, "Are there any signs of poisoning?" ”

Sun Ying took out a slender silver needle and probed it first in the copper plate, and then in the throat, chest and abdomen of the corpse.

The silver needle was still cold and cold, and it did not change color at all.

He shook his head and said, "My lord, the deceased showed no signs of poisoning, and the deceased struggled so badly, he must have been awake before he died, and there was no such thing as a drug." ”

There was silence in the room for a while, and the meaning of these words was understood by several people.

After a moment of silence, Han Changdui pointed to the other three charred corpses covered with white cloth and asked, "What about the three of them, all the same?" ”

Sun Ying nodded: "If you go back to your lordship, it's all the same." ”

Han Changwan frowned, all the same, they were all burned alive.

He had just seen the situation in the Qingxu Palace, the Dan room was seriously damaged, and the main hall was indeed burned badly, but if it was rescued in time, at most it would be provoked by the fire, and it would not be killed.

Didn't the saint just come out with all his beards and tails, and he didn't even have a fire?

Han Changdui lifted the white cloth covering the other three corpses, and saw that these three charred corpses were really the same as that one, and they looked like they were struggling violently before they died.

He couldn't help but sigh a little, this kind of death was extremely painful and unbearable, and he didn't know how desperate these people were in the sea of fire.

The white cloth fell, covering the hideous face.

Yao Qi carefully read the written inspection booklet again, signed his name, and handed it to Sun Ying.

Sun Ying glanced at it and smiled: "Yao joins the army, this test is much more neat than what I remembered." With that, he gave his name and respectfully handed the inspection book to Han Changdu.

Han Changwei nodded while looking at it, and said in appreciation: "It's really organized, and the next inspection will let Yao join the army to remember." ”

Sun Ying high-fived and applauded: "Yes, this is a shameful job." ”

Yao Qi snorted and pursed his lips.

It's all the evil exploiting class Huang Shiren!!

As he spoke, Han Changwan had already finished flipping through the inspection booklet, glanced at one of the pages, returned the booklet to Sun Ying with an unchanged expression, and said a few more words before leaving the inspection room.

Back in the room, Lan Yuan was already a little panicked, she vaguely felt that what she was looking for was on those people, but she didn't understand the autopsy at all, and she didn't even dare to look at it, so she had to ask Han Changwei with a white face: "My lord, the autopsy just happened, didn't you find a prescription?" ”

Han Changwan raised his eyelids, sat behind the bookcase, and said casually: "Didn't Miss Lan Yuan see it, what did those four people burn, even the meat was burned to charcoal, can the paper not be burned to ashes?" ”

Lan Yuan's face darkened inch by inch, and she wanted to cry a little, saluted, and walked out blankly, thinking about how to report the matter to Xie Huiming so that she could not be punished.

After a busy day, I didn't notice the hour, and when I returned to the room after the autopsy, it was already past the time for lunch.

The lunch sent by the little inner eunuch was already cold, and Han Changdui instructed the internal guard to take the lunch to warm it up, and as soon as it was sent back and placed on the food table, the little inner eunuch led Cheng Chaoyan in a hurry.

Cheng Chaoyan closed the door with his backhand and saluted: "My lord." ”

Han Changdui nodded: "Have you had lunch?" ”

Cheng Chaoyan said: "I have used it."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

”

Han Changwan looked at Yao Qi and said, "Ah Qi also sit down, and talk while eating." ”

Cheng Chaoyan raised his eyebrows, quite surprised, and calmed down, before he said calmly: "My lord, I found out that sixteen years ago, Qingchen Daoist and Qingyue Daoist were originally disciples of the outer gate of the Dragon and Tiger Temple of Yunjin Mountain, and later a fire, the Dragon and Tiger Temple was turned into ruins, and the Guan Master and the disciples were killed and injured, only the two brothers of Qingchen and Qingyue lived, and the two of them went all the way from Jiangnan West Road to Beijing and practiced in Haotian Temple. ”

Han Changdui rubbed the bamboo chopstick, and thought: "Seventeen years ago, Qing Chen was in his early thirties, and Qing Yue was only eleven or twelve years old, and Qing Yue was young, so let's not talk about it, that Qing Chen has already passed the age of establishment, and he is still just a disciple outside the door, it can be seen that his qualifications are mediocre, such an ordinary cultivation, how could Concubine Xiao Yang dare to introduce him to a saint?" ”

Cheng Chaoyan said: "Soon after Qingchen and the two entered the Haotian Temple, the sage entered Beijing, at that time," she wanted to speak and stopped: "At that time, the world was in chaos, and the Taoist priests in the Haotian Temple either died or fled, and finally there were only Qingchen and the two left, it is said that the days were very difficult for a while, and then I got acquainted with a nobleman, and the incense of Haotianguan slowly flourished. ”

Han Changdui sneered: "These two people are really fateful, a fire burned only the two of them are left alive, seventeen years ago, wolf smoke was everywhere, the war was raging, they were able to enter Beijing smoothly from Jiangnan West Road, and they also occupied the magpie's nest and forced the Taoist priests in Haotian Temple away." ”

Yao Qi raised his head suddenly, stunned: "My lord means that Haotianguan was forcibly occupied by them?" ”

Han Changwan squinted his eyes and said, "Nine times out of ten, and that nobleman, the eighth achievement is Concubine Xiao Yang." ”

Cheng Chaoyan was puzzled: "My lord, seventeen years ago it was too chaotic, and many things have nowhere to check. ”

Han Changwan took two bites of rice, thought while eating, and thought: "Let's put aside the origin of these two people for the time being, you can carefully check how these two people and Concubine Xiao Yang met, and how they were introduced to the saint." The entry of these two people into the palace is only a matter of the past three or two years, and many people and many things should not be covered up. ”

Cheng Chaoyan asked tentatively: "My lord, can you probe the tone of the saint, how did these two people come from?" ”

Han Changwan shook his head: "Concubine Xiao Yang's saint is strong, if I go to ask the saint, it is equivalent to asking Concubine Xiao Yang directly, now there is no evidence, it is not good to startle the snake." ”

Yao Qi said thoughtfully: "Even if it is asked about Concubine Yang, she can shirk it completely."

Han Changwan rubbed his eyebrows and said lightly: "Cheng Zongqi, in addition to investigating this matter, your people also have to keep an eye on Wang Cong and Xia Yuanji, I think they should be going to make a move in the next few days." ”

Cheng Chaoyan should claim: "That humble post retired first." ”

Han Changwan nodded.

After a while, Sun Ying pushed the door in, saluted, and took out a neat white handkerchief from his sleeve: "My lord, the thing is here." ”

Yao Qi also saw the stroke recorded on the inspection certificate, raised his eyebrows and asked, "This is what I found in Qing Yue's belly?" ”

Sun Ying nodded, put the handkerchief on the bookcase, opened it layer by layer, and saw that there was a light red ball inside, only the size of a cherry, and this light red, I don't know if it was the color of the ball itself, or it was stained with blood in Qing Yue's abdomen.
