Chapter 168: Reward
Li Huaiyun glanced around vigilantly, then leaned forward and said softly, "The identity of the seriously ill prince is suspicious!" After his death, he was not buried in the imperial mausoleum, and no one knows what to do with it. ”
A trace of surprise flashed across Qin Gang's face, "I've heard a little about this, but I've never heard of this suspicious identity!" ”
"Where the hell did you hear about this?"
"It's the one who works on an errand in the palace!" Li Huaiyun just said simply, but did not say that he heard about the situation from Dali Temple.
"And what's the specifics?"
"The identity of this black-robed man is very likely to be Wei Shunkai, who participated in the investigation of the medical saint's treatment case when he was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple before."
Qin Gang immediately put down the teacup in his hand, "Many years ago, the prince was seriously ill, and few people should know about it. ”
"Yes, after that, the prince lived for two more years, but he still passed away because of serious illness, and in the follow-up, someone found that the prince was not in good health, so he began to report it, and it was found that the prince was poisoned by the soul entanglement silk! Then let Wei Shun open the investigation. ”
"Soul Entanglement, someone thinks about this prince."
"Yes!"
Qin Gang pondered for a moment, "It's because of the identity of the prince!" As long as the identity is exposed, it will be a great shame for the royal family. ”
"Therefore, there must be someone else who killed this prince, and the blame to the doctor is to save face."
Li Huaiyun nodded approvingly, clasped his fists and saluted, "Si Zheng is really quick-witted, and he quickly understood the reason for this situation!" ”
"Wei Shun opened the investigation of this case, but unfortunately this case can't be followed, in addition, this Shaoqing's home caught fire, and all the family died in the fire, he didn't know what the reason was, he escaped, but the whole person's appearance was ruined, in this way, he came to take revenge."
Li Huaiyun knocked on the table and said categorically, "Behind this case, there must be someone who is playing tricks, and the medical saint knows the truth of his identity, but the emperor will not let him leave."
And that Wei Shaoqing is likely to have found some clues, so he will be killed, which can be regarded as a warning. ”
"And who has the possibility?"
Li Huaiyun's face was heavy, and he sighed deeply, "It is likely that this Linwang, he is a high and powerful person, and he is the only person who can enter and leave the palace freely, as long as he greets the elders, he can freely enter and leave the harem, and only he can do this." ”
Qin Gang tightly tugged at the gray beard on his chin, his expression was slightly solemn, "King Lin!" Thinking about it carefully, there is indeed no other possibility except him, this Guodong with outstanding military exploits is also the uncle of the current emperor, according to your guess, the one who colludes with the monster can only be this Linwang, because the soul entanglement silk is a poison only owned by the demon clan. ”
"Yes! This guy has military power in his hands, and the guards and servants under him are also arrogant. ”
"Messing up the harem, colluding with monsters, each of which is a capital crime of killing the head, this king should be decided, no one dares to go against him in the dynasty, so he wants to change his position."
Qin Gang didn't say that, just nodded slightly.
"If that's the case, I believe that Si Zheng's judgment is right, but that guy has the intention of rebellion!"
Qin Gang's face was solemn, "And the reason for doing this is probably that the prince's affairs can't be suppressed!" Probably the emperor already knows a little bit about it. ”
"It's been so many years, the prince didn't die early, and he would be pulled out to talk about it!"
"It must be that the saints of today may not be able to accept such a reality."
Li Huaiyun waved his hand, "I don't think things are so complicated, according to Occam's razor principle, under the same conditions, the incident has a simpler explanation, which is completely correct." ”
"Therefore, I think this matter is completely the king of Lin's desire to rebel, and the prince who poisoned the prince just didn't want this matter to be publicized, he had a big stain and it was difficult to convince the public."
Li Huaiyun's theory made Qin Gang feel unusually unfamiliar, "Wait a minute, what kind of mystery is that... Who is the razor? ”
"Thinkers are telling us that the easiest way is the most correct, and there is no need to beat around the bush."
"Hmm!" Qin Gang also felt that this so-called theory was quite correct, and there was no need to beat around the bush.
He let out a long sigh and continued, "It's a pity that the Demon Slayer Division can't interfere in the government, so no matter how much they make trouble, they can't have the slightest impact on the situation in this matter." ”
Li Huaiyun also shook his head, "Then we can only move the bench and be a melon-eating crowd, watching the people on both sides of them intrigue in the palace, make a big move, and even mutiny somewhere." ”
"It can only be like this, the purpose of the Demon Slaying Division was to protect the peace of the Great Zhou, as for who will be the emperor, these are really not our decisions!"
This pattern is embarrassing.
Li Huaiyun asked, "That's right! Si Zheng, can you tell me, what is being held at the bottom of this locked demon prison, and why do some monsters come here and work hard to find the bottom? ”
"The monster imprisoned at the bottom of the Demon Lock Prison is a head!"
"Heads?"
"Yes, this is in the battle of the pit, by King Lin himself, the head of the demon clan leader who led tens of thousands of monsters to attack, taking advantage of their hunger and cold, directly start crazy hand-to-hand combat, as long as they are brave enough, they can take off directly, and directly bring themselves to charge together."
"At this time, King Lin personally fought with the leader of the demon clan."
"After that, the people on both sides died a lot, and later, as you know, King Lin personally cut off the head of that monster."
"Since it was cut off by King Lin, why would it be in the Demon Lock Prison later!"
"Actually, at the beginning, the head of this demon king was put in the palace, but after that, there were many strange things in this palace, for example, in the middle of the night, the headless corpse walked in the palace, or the poultry on the palace were all taken off their heads overnight, and some people fell asleep, were taken out of the house, and woke up to find themselves sleeping in the courtyard outside."
"What's more, even the subordinates of the palace, slaves and maids, have also contracted strange diseases one after another, and they have died inexplicably."
"In view of these things, King Lin sought the help of the Demon Slayer Division, therefore, we put this thing in the deepest part of the Demon Prison Lock, I really didn't expect that they would spend so long preparing to steal the corpse!"
"It seems that this head hides a lot of secrets, otherwise, those demon clans would not have plotted for so long to bring back this head!"
"Yes!"
Qin Gang listened to the basic situation reported to him by Li Huaiyun, and he also made some of the details very clear.
"In this way, if you want to continue the investigation, you have to start with the rock wall of the sewer!"
Li Huaiyun nodded at him desperately, "I don't know if Si Zheng has thought of a strategy to deal with it!" ”
Qin Gang shook his head, "Not for the time being!" Everything has to be considered in the long run. ”
"It's a pity, the follow-up of this case is a bit troublesome, except that the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, who killed the demon, knew the ultimate purpose of the demon, but still couldn't stop it, they took the head."
"The enemy is in the light, we are in the dark, plus there are often people who betray Da Zhou only for their own interests, plus there are still many problems within Da Zhou itself!"
"For a while, the Great Zhou Dynasty was stormy, and it is unknown whether it can withstand the continuous disasters!"
"Are we really going to witness the fall of the dynasty?"
"That's bad! With the current situation of Da Zhou, I am afraid that when the time comes, the war will be raging again and again, and the monsters will also take advantage of the void, and the lives will be ruined at that time,"
The two of them sat there, silent, and did not speak for a while, and the room was eerily quiet, with the light of the candles on the table flickering slightly.
Li Huaiyun thought to himself, it was useless to worry about it here, he still had to take one step at a time, he asked Qin Gang, "By the way, Si Zheng, if I solve the case this time, do I have some rewards?" ”
Qin Gang picked up the teacup and took a sip, "This is what you care about the most, right?" ”
"Sort of! After all, it took me a lot of effort to find out the case, and I almost lost my life in order to deal with the criminal department. ”
"Isn't that what a monster hunter is supposed to do?"
Li Huaiyun almost burst into foul language, but he endured it, after all, he was still a member of the Demon Slaying Division, and now he was facing the Si Zheng, so he had to be a little polite.
This is a serious oppression!
"It's what should be done, but I'm also a D-level demon hunter, and I'm facing such a powerful monster, if I change it to someone else, the grave grass is already one meter high, and I can play soy sauce in reincarnation."
Qin Gang was expressionless at this, and seemed to feel that his contribution was deserved.
"To tell you the truth, the expenses required by the house are still a little insufficient, and when I was unconscious, my aunt spent a lot of silver taels to get me those precious medicinal materials! pulled me back from the ghost gate. ”
"Plus before, for me, the house has already spent a lot of silver taels!"
Qin Gang laughed indifferently, knowing that Li Huaiyun was thinking about the reward in his heart, and he had discussed this matter with the emperor.
Today's saint is also quite sure of Li Huaiyun's merits, ready to give a reward, and asked Si Zheng, Mu Kite and Li Huaiyun are a good match.
Qin Gang disagreed, firstly, he didn't want Li Huaiyun to leave the Demon Slaying Division, this young man has unlimited potential and high ability, once he becomes a colt and has no worries about food and clothing, he will waste his talent.
The other is that the Demon Slayer Division is now in urgent need of such a capable person, and entering the palace as a concubine is actually a waste of talent, he only asks for more rewards for Li Huaiyun.
He saw that Li Huaiyun was so anxious, but he snickered in his heart, and said unhurriedly, "Your situation is well known, for the Demon Slayer Division, if you can solve this case, you will definitely be able to give some rewards, but there are not many of them." ”
As soon as he heard this, Li Huaiyun suddenly became a little anxious, "Si Zheng, I'm risking my life!" For the sake of me who was seriously injured at home, I also ran out of silver, so I can't just send a few hundred taels away! ”
"If that's the case, who will kill the demon division in the future, isn't the emperor rewarded at all, I have saved his daughter several times, and she is also the helmsman of the demon division."
"In this regard, I believe that the wooden kite will definitely repay you well!"
"Huh!" Li Huaiyun smiled bitterly, it's not bad if she doesn't divide my silver taels, and she is ready to repay me?
A kind smile appeared on Qin Gang's face, and he picked up the teacup, "Do you really think that the emperor will forget your merits?" ”
"Huh!" Li Huaiyun immediately came to his senses, "Listen to what it means, the emperor is ready to give a reward?" ”
"That's natural, you are a meritorious person, and you have avoided the great turmoil in the palace, if you don't reward you, how can you be worthy of the opportunity to fight for your life."
"Si Zheng, how much is this reward?"
"Tomorrow, a holy decree will come down to your house, and you will know when the time comes!"
Li Huaiyun rubbed his hands excitedly, "Eh, I don't know what this reward is?" ”
