Thunder took the sesame seeds-sized black grains back to his cabin. Ji Jingyang and Ji Cunyan also followed.

"In fact, to determine what the origin of this thing is, it is nothing more than those methods. But try them one by one. Third prince, are you saying that these things may be the reason for the spontaneous combustion of the palace maid in the palace? ”

"At present, it can only be said that there is this possibility." Ji Jingyang said.

"Then let's burn it with fire first!"

Thunder took out a palm-sized copper brazier, threw firewood into it, and then threw the black grains into it.

Everyone watched carefully for a long time, but the black grain was not ignited or melted.

Ji Jingyang shook his head.

"Then let's see it in a bubble."

Thunder took out another copper bowl and threw the black particles into it, but there was no response.

"Looks like normal methods don't work for it." Ji Cun said, "Otherwise, use the Xuannu blood bubble to see it?" ”

"This kid really doesn't know that firewood and rice are expensive, and the blood of the Xuannu is a hundred gold, can he just use it to soak inexplicable sesame seeds?" Thunder Road.

"Okay." Ji Jingyang took out a golden cylinder from his arms, the size and thickness of his thumb, and what it contained was the blood of the Xuannu.

Thunder was choked for a long time, and he had no choice but to take it and pour the blood of the Xuannu into the jade bowl.

As soon as the red liquid melted into the water, the black particles also dissolved and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Oops! I haven't seen it yet! Ji Cunyan was still very anxious and shouted, looking at it, he couldn't wait to reach out and fish it out.

Fortunately, Ji Jingyang reached out and grabbed her wrist, frowned, and said, "What can be melted by the blood of the Xuannu must be an evil thing, do you still dare to do it?" ”

"But I didn't see it clearly, it melted, and I don't know what it is." Ji Cunyan said aggrievedly, "Ah! Why don't we take another pill and use a large vat of water and a little bit of Xuannu's blood to see? ”

"You should add water to the noodles, and add noodles with less water?" Lei Ting said, "If the blood of the Xuannu can really be melted, it can only mean that this thing is a demonic thing, and it is just a 'melt' word for more or less." Ah, but if you're sure it's an evil thing, there's always a way to figure out what it is. Let me think again. ”

Ji Cunyan propped his head, looked at the thunder who was scratching his head and walked around, and then looked at Ji Jingyang, who was sitting there silently, and then said, "Third brother." ”

"Let's go out and play." Ji Jingyang didn't have the heart to deal with his sister at this time.

"Not really! I have an idea, but I can't tell. Ji Cun said, "Since this thing is very evil, it must be related to the case of spontaneous combustion of the palace maid, right?" ”

Ji Jingyang looked at his sister at home and nodded.

"When the palace maid spontaneously combusted, this thing was in the palace maid's body."

Ji Jingyang nodded again.

"In other words, this thing may change in the human body."

Ji Jingyang raised his eyebrows at this time, and finally understood what Ji Cunyan was talking about.

"So, if you want to see how it burns, just put it into the human body." Ji Cun said, "But you can't really put it on a living person, right?" ”

"That's not necessary, just find a piece of live meat!" Lei Ting said, "Don't say it, Xiaoyan, this girl, when she should be smart, she is really smart." ”

"What, I've always been Bing Xue smart, right, third brother?" Ji Cunyan was very proud.

"Hmm. You haven't received your money at the end of the month, and you are short of money, so you are the smartest when you ask me to fight the autumn wind. Ji Jingyang said.

Lei Qi threw a piece of pork on the table at the door of the Thunder Hut, and said, "Lao Cai is now slaughtering it at the entrance of the street, I bought it and rushed back non-stop." ”

He was suddenly sent out to do such an errand, and he felt a little inexplicable in his heart. It was even stranger to see Ji Jingyang also in him. However, when he saw that he was still interested in staying here to watch the follow-up Ji Cunyan, he frowned and suddenly said, "You guys...... Do you want to eat barbecue here? ”

Ji Cunyan sneered.

Thunder ignored his son, but just took one of the black grains and put them in the texture of the pork.

After a long time, there was no reaction to the piece of pork.

The appearance of the four Xuanjing Hall masters staring at a piece of meat and taking a closer look was quite funny.

"It doesn't seem like there's been much movement." Ji Cun said.

"What the hell are you doing?" Lei Qi asked.

Thunder suddenly had an idea, he pulled his son's left hand, took out the dagger, and swiped it at his fingers.

"Shhhh Although Lei Qi was taken aback by his father, he didn't retract his hand.

"Your father is old, the young master's blood is precious, the little girl's hands naturally have to be well protected, you have rough skin and thick flesh, just use yours!" Thunder said, stretching Lei Qi's injured and bleeding fingers to the piece of pork, so that the blood also seeped into the texture of the pork.

This trick is really used, as soon as the blood enters, this piece of pork suddenly sizzles, and a scorching smell comes out.

Then, a thumb-sized black bug emerges from the pork.

When you put it in, it was only the size of a sesame seed, and this thing grew up dozens of times in the blink of an eye, which shows how evil it is.

Ji Jingyang raised his hand to protect Ji Cunyan, frowning at the black insect.

The insect flapped its wings twice, and suddenly its whole body turned from carbon black to red, and the air around the insect became hot.

Everyone was forced to take a step back by the sudden heat.

Immediately afterwards, the worm, along with the pork, was engulfed in flames, and by the time the fire was extinguished again, the pork had turned into a piece of charcoal, and the black worm had spontaneously burned into ashes.

After a long time, Thunder put on special gloves and carefully turned over the charcoal-grilled pork, and found more than a dozen black grains the size of sesame seeds in the pork. It looks exactly like the black grain that was put into the pork just now.

"What is this?" Lei Qi asked with a frown.

“…… Poison...... Right? Ji Cunyan replied uncertainly.

"Gu?" Qi Yue put down the tea bowl in his hand.

In the evening, Luo Sinan and Ji Jingyang came to the palace together, and only met Qi Yue when they were holding the lamp.

Qi Yue's face was gloomy and ugly, and her beautiful brows were squeezed together.

Luo Sinan hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The appearance of witchcraft in the palace is really a dereliction of duty by Tianlongwei, and the lower officials must try their best to thoroughly investigate this matter and give an explanation to their father-in-law." ”

The top bosses all saluted, and Ji Jingyang naturally had to do it.

Qi Yue shook his head and said, "There is such a thing in the palace, Lord Luo, it is your dereliction of duty and my dereliction of duty." You don't mean to give me an account, but we all have to give an account to Your Majesty. ”

Luo Sinan could only reply: "Yes." ”

Qi Yue put away Fang Cai's gloomy expression, sighed and said, "The stakes are very high, although I don't want to disturb the Holy Driver, but I'm afraid it won't work if I don't explain it to Your Majesty." Lord Luo, please come with me. Master Ji, please wait here. ”

After Ji Jingyang waited for about half an hour in Qingyuezhai, a little eunuch hurried over and also led Ji Jingyang to face the saint.

The little eunuch walked two steps in front of Ji Jingyang with an eight-treasure glass lamp, and while walking, he turned his head slightly and whispered to Ji Jingyang: "Lord Ji, Lord Luo has a word for the little one to bring to you." ”

Ji Jingyang only looked at the eight-treasure glass lamp in the little eunuch's hand, and knew that his identity was unusual, and he also responded in a low voice at this time: "Father-in-law, please speak." ”

The little eunuch said: "Your Majesty heard that there is a witchcraft in the palace, Long Yan is displeased, and Lord Ji must be careful when he speaks." ”

Ji Jingyang was taken by the little eunuch to the side hall of Tingtao Pavilion, and saw that the emperor of the current dynasty was sitting firmly on the main throne, and Luo Sinan and Qi Yue bowed and waited below. He didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately saluted: "Tianlong Wei has compiled the Xuanjing Hall, and the young hall master Ji Jingyang will see Your Majesty." ”

"Get up." The Emperor waved his hand.

After Ji Jingyang stood up, he took a step back, standing half a step behind Qi Yue and Luo Sinan.

The emperor said: "I heard Qi Yue and Luo Sinan say that the little palace maid who suddenly spontaneously combusted in the palace yesterday died of witchcraft?" ”

"Yes."

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that Gu is also divided into many genres, I don't know which school this Gu technique belongs to yesterday?" ”

Ji Jingyang said: "This Weichen still has no clue, but I heard that Dian Wu has a Gu technique called 'Fire Qilin', which can drive the Gu insect god that is difficult to see to the naked eye to burn the person in the Gu to death unknowingly, which is very similar to the death of the palace maid last night. ”

The emperor frowned slightly, tilted his head and asked, "Dian Gu?" ”

Ji Jingyang said: "This is just Weichen's speculation. ”

The emperor said: "Since it's just speculation, don't just talk to others!" The people in the palace have been dead for a day, and you can only say a witchcraft, so you don't have a clue. ”

The emperor was rarely so angry, and when he heard him say this, Luo Sinan and Ji Jingyang knelt down with Qi Yue.

The emperor held his forehead and said: "I can burn a palace maid today, and I may burn a concubine tomorrow, and in a few days, will it burn to my head?" ”

"The minister is not doing well, and the crime deserves death, and I ask Your Majesty to punish him." The three of them said almost in unison.

The emperor frowned, looked at the three people below, and said to Luo Sinan: "Luo Sinan." ”

"The minister is here."

"I now order you to find out the person who has committed the Gu within seven days, otherwise, you, the commander, will not do it!"

With that, the emperor stood up and walked away.

Qi Yue could only stand up and follow the emperor by himself, and before leaving, he turned back to Luo Sinan and frowned, signaling him to disperse by himself!

Luo Sinan and Ji Jingyang waited for the emperor to walk for a long time before they dared to stand up.

Luo Sinan said: "Alas, brother, didn't you let the little eunuch talk to you and let you be careful when you talk?" This time, not to mention the black veil on the head, the head on the neck is almost gone. ”

At this time, there was no one else in the hall, even though it was in the palace, Ji Jingyang did not share any condescension with Luo Sinan, only frowned and said: "How do I know what 'speak carefully'?" ”

"Ask what kind of Gu you are, you said that the Gu poison in the world is almost fine, why do you bring up the Dian Gu alone and talk about it again?"

"What's the problem?"

"Now His Majesty's favorite Concubine Ning Niangniang is the saint of the Dian Kingdom who was given to me by the Dian people. When your words are spread, don't you point the finger at Your Majesty's favorite concubine? And the one who died was Cao Guifei's palace maid, Cao Guifei finally grabbed Concubine Ning's handle, and she must not be relentless, the two concubines are torn around in the harem, do you say Your Majesty is annoying? ”

Ji Jingyang said: "I have rarely been in and out of the palace hall, how can I know so clearly about the affairs of this harem?" The world said that Cao Guifei was so favored that her brother was lawless in the capital. I have never heard of Concubine Ning's name, let alone any 'be careful to speak'. ”

Luo Sinan said: "That's what you said. The harem enchantment and feng shui layout are all under the supervision of Qintian, and now that something has happened, why didn't they say a word and just threw this black pot on our heads? Wait for me to visit Jian Wanchuan, the supervisor of Qintian, tomorrow. ”
