At the behest of Xiao Qingxue, Kong Sheng was temporarily brought back to the Yamen of the Criminal Department for interrogation.

Allowed to be interrogated by the people of the Six Doors in turn, this scholar of the Hanlin Academy always insisted that he was not lying, and he saw the female ghost kill with his own eyes!

Li Ran stood outside the gate of the Criminal Department, waited for two hours, and finally waited for the eldest sister-in-law with a devil's body and a heroic ponytail, Xiao Qingxue.

"Why are you still here?" Xiao Qingxue glared at Li Ran angrily.

"I'm waiting for you, Sister Qingxue. Li Ran was still intimate, and greeted him with a smile.

Xiao Qingxue didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned around, took up her long legs, and led a group of military attachés to the other side, and then turned over and got on the horse.

Yes, this second highness is the only one among several princesses who does not travel in the palace jade, and he is full of style.

Kong Sheng's lying is not the end of the case, but a breakthrough, I hope the second princess can figure this out and tell Mr. Wu to catch the head. ”

Li Ran said with a serious expression, he said all he wanted, as for whether Xiao Qingxue could listen to it, and whether he would tell the Criminal Department after listening to it, then he couldn't care.

Hearing this, Xiao Qingxue's back moved slightly, and after all, she couldn't help but dismount and walked over: "How did you judge that Kong Sheng was lying?"

Li Ran said: "It's a coincidence, that Kong Sheng said, from the time he saw the female ghost, to the time he ran to the gate of the national prison to see me, it took a quarter of the time to burn incense, however, before the time was set back to this point, I happened to be in the lecture hall of the Hanlin Academy 100 meters away, which was the place where the first haunting was made. ”

"At that time, I released the spell, which directly enveloped a radius of hundreds of meters, and I did not perceive any ghostly and evil aura, so I can conclude that Kong Sheng was lying, and there were no female ghosts at all. ”

Li Ran said unhurriedly, but he still symbolically replaced "spiritual sense" with "magic", which was also easy for Xiao Qingxue and a group of Muggle warriors to understand.

"I see, yours. ”

Xiao Qingxue said a word without being salty, and was about to leave, but was blocked by Li Ran: "Second sister, I have told you everything, in exchange, can't you tell me about the phoenix hairpin?"

"Why should I tell you. Xiao Qingxue raised her eyebrows.

"You give me a clue, and I give you a miracle. Li Ran said with a deep gaze: "Believe it or not." ”

Xiao Qingxue looked at the youngest national teacher in the history of the empire coldly, hesitated for a long time, but gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll believe you again." ”

"Each generation of imperial daughters, after reaching the age of thirteen, will get a unique phoenix hairpin from the Zongwu Yuan, also known as the "princess hairpin", and the style and pattern on it will be recorded in the family tree. ”

"And the one we see today is the princess hairpin of the Qing Aya Female Emperor, not the "Emperor Phoenix Hairpin" of the Son of Heaven, thinking that in her life, until the last moment, she is unwilling to abdicate and admit the identity of my mother emperor, how can she be willing to wear this royal hairpin after death?"

"Oh, I see. Li Ran nodded thoughtfully: "Speaking of which, the one who placed this Wang Mairpin at the scene of the crime is the real murderer." ”

"Heh, do you still need to think about this? Although it is not clear what Kong Sheng's motive is, the fact that he lied is basically true, even if he is not a murderer, he must be an accomplice!"

Xiao Qingxue said coldly.

Li Ran said: "The princess is reasonable, but as you said, he has no motive for committing the crime, not to mention the death of Wen Zhirong and Yuan Wenzhong, I can't find any signs of his killing, then Kong Xiangyun I have also confirmed, it is indeed frightened, and insane, therefore, the conspiracy behind this matter is far more complicated than we imagined." ”

In other words, this Kong Sheng is likely to be just a trivial part of a conspiracy lurking in the shadows. ”

After hearing this, she also felt that Li Ran was reasonable, and Xiao Qingxue couldn't help but ask, "Then what do you mean......

Li Ran said: "In my opinion, we need to pretend not to know about this matter, put Kong Sheng back, and then follow the vine and use him to restore the whole thing step by step." ”

"You know, if a person who has no motive to kill lies about two suicides, then his real purpose is probably not as simple as killing people. ”

"Then in your opinion, what does this Kong Sheng want to do?" Xiao Qingxue said.

"I don't have a complete clue either. ”

Li Ran shook his head: "This thing is too paradoxical, and the hearts of people in it may be even more poisonous than ghosts and gods." ”

"Sister Qingxue recalls, except for Kong Xiangyun, the death characteristics of Yuan Wenzhong and Wen Zhirong are so similar, he both committed suicide by caesarean section without any coercion, and before he died, his expression was calm, without any signs of pain, what could make them, a group of weak scholars, make such a decisive suicide move?"

Xiao Qingxue's eyes were deep in thought, and she really couldn't think of a clue, so she had to ask the hateful and nasty genius from the sky next to her: "Don't you know again?"

Li Ran said solemnly: "I don't dare to make any real theories about their motives at present, but we can boldly imagine that if these three people collude, Yuan Wenzhong and Wen Zhirong commit suicide together, and then Kong Sheng declares to the outside world that the Qingya Empress is unjustly asking for her life, what can Kong Sheng get by doing this? Or ...... What are the immediate consequences?"

Xiao Qingxue thought for a moment, and her beautiful eyes widened: "He ...... He wants to cause panic in the palace?"

"Very well-said, then I dare to ask the second sister another question, the Empress Qingya turned into a ghost for revenge, and killed two people in a row, the most hesitant and fearful person in this imperial palace...... Who should it be?" Li Ran said instructively.

"You mean...... Mother Emperor!?" Xiao Qingxue suddenly realized.

"Not bad. Li Ran nodded with emotion.

"It's my all-powerful wife. ”

Of course, this sentence is in his heart.

Straight to the point!

It is said that when Emperor Murong Yu was killed, and after entering the imperial palace in one go, he just surrounded the Qingya Empress in the temple of the goddess and forced her to take the throne, without taking any coercive measures.

In this regard, there are roughly two theories among the people and the palace, some people say that Murong Yu is afraid of the "close god guard" who guards the temple of the goddess in the legend, and there are even more exaggerated claims, saying that Murong Yu has a personal relationship with the Empress Qingya, and he is unwilling to do too much to his old lover.

But the first argument is patently untenable.

As we all know, at that time, the Qing Aya Empress left the temple of the goddess alone, and under the noses of tens of thousands of rebels, she came to the palace of her when she was the emperor, Fenghua Palace, safe and sound.

Obviously, Murong Yu deliberately let her go.

The next ending, the world knows, the nineteen-year-old third princess Xiao Xuanyue, stepped out of the prison of the Zongwu Academy, wearing a peach blossom crown, under the support of Zhang Ningfu and others, worshiped heaven and earth, crowned as the emperor, and was for the Xuanyue Emperor.

However, only a few children of the Xiao family in the palace knew some of the truth, and of course, Li Ran also knew.

Why does Li Ran know?

Because of his father Li Daoguang, he was about to resign and go into hiding, but he was coerced and instigated by Ma Feng to write a sacrificial proclamation and prepare for the enthronement ceremony, and became the first batch of traitors (great loyal ministers) who supported Empress Xuanyue.

This incident has also become a knot in Li Daoguang's heart.

Therefore, when Li Ran was a child, he often listened to his father talk about the things of the year intermittently after he was drunk.

It turned out that in front of the Fenghua Palace, Murong Yu saw that Empress Xuanyue had ascended the throne as the emperor, and his army had completely controlled the imperial capital, together with the four counties of the Imperial Court.

Not only did he mean this, but in fact, many officials who surrendered at that time, including Li Ran's father Li Daoguang, pleaded for mercy one after another, hoping to open up to the old main network.

After all, he Murong Yu rebelled at that time, and the name he used was also to kill the then prime minister Liu Linfeng and others, except for the traitorous ministers, and the Qing monarch!

However, I didn't expect that after Empress Xuanyue ascended the throne as emperor, she went to Fenghua Hall in person, and despite Murong Yu's dissuasion, she directly ordered a fire to Fenghua Hall and burned her own sister alive inside!

Therefore, the so-called Qing Aya Empress held the jade seal, self-immolated and died, it does not exist at all!

She was burned to death by the current empress!

However, in Li Ran's eyes today, he is not to blame for this matter...... Oh no, it's Her Majesty the Empress, after all, there are no two monarchs in the country, and if you don't eradicate the roots, you will leave trouble, and at that time, there were 200,000 defenders loyal to the Empress Qingya, which was also a helpless move.

All right...... It's really a little bit of a desperate job.

"No, I'm going to appease the Mother Emperor. ”

Xiao Qingxue pulled her legs and left, but was pulled by Li Ran: "Don't go now, if I guess correctly, at this time, Your Majesty is angry, whoever goes will die." ”

"With this kung fu, we might as well ...... Go see the last survivor, or the last accomplice. Li Ran's eyes were mysterious.

"You mean......" Xiao Qingxue thought of something: "The editor of the Hanlin Academy who reported the case with Kong Sheng and Yuan Wenzhong, Song Yu?"

"Not bad. Li Ran looked deep and said, "Hope...... We're still in time. In addition, I hope that the princess will come forward and release Kong Sheng, and say that we have wronged him, and we must make everyone except you and me believe that it is really haunted, including Your Majesty. "Why?" "Lure the snake out of the hole." ”

......

Song Yu died.

In his old mansion in the imperial capital.

The same way of death, the same weird bloody phoenix hairpin.

The Qing Aya Empress is here!

When the people of Six Doors and Hongyingfang surrounded the gate of his house, rumors of haunting spread far and wide!

In addition, the 100,000 forbidden troops drove out of the imperial city and patrolled the town, and the entire imperial capital was completely in a panic!

......

Inside the temple of the goddess.

Her Majesty the Empress of the Empire is completely out of control.

Her phoenix eyes were blood-red, and she slapped the royal table in front of her with one palm!

"Rubbish, a bunch of rubbish!"

"She was under me all her life, and after she died...... How dare you bully me!"

Suddenly, she pulled out the Divine Phoenix Sword left by the Founding Empress, and with a sword in the air, she slashed out a terrifying sword qi, directly cutting a pillar made of spiritual jade into two!

His Royal Highness, Yu Guangzheng, Qing of Dali Temple, Liu Liang of Dongchang, Wei Yuhong of Hongyingfang and others knelt on the ground, so frightened that they didn't dare to come out!

For more than ten years, this was the first time they had seen the empress so angry, so out of control......! Still a little frightened!?

"Gonggong Qiu, you quickly go and invite Zhang Xiang and Elder Qingwei of the Sect Affairs Academy, only they can appease Your Majesty......! It's going to be a big mess!"

Liu Liang hurriedly said to Qiu Huaili on the side.

"I'm afraid it's useless. Qiu Huaili was also full of fear, and at this time, a little eunuch quietly came over to report: "Father-in-law, Li Guoshi is asking to see him outside the palace, at this time, do we want to ......?"

Qiu Huaili's eyes lit up, as if he had seen a savior, and he shouted: "Quick!

Liu Liang, Wei Yuhong and others next to him were all confused.

Perhaps, in the Great Xuan Empire, only this young and handsome genius from the sky can calm the anger of the true goddess.

Qiu Huaili clasped his hands together and prayed secretly in his heart.
