Kong Xiangyun went crazy.

Completely insane.

On the way to the Tai Hospital, he kept talking about seeing the dead Empress Qingya, saying that the unjust soul was coming to ask for his life, and Wu Zhen and the others couldn't ask why they came at all.

Li Ran followed behind them the whole time, his brows furrowed, and he didn't say a word.

From Xiao Wan'er seeing the "ghost" to now Kong Xiangyun being frightened crazy by the "ghost", he has a strong intuition that this is no longer a simple homicide case, there must be a huge conspiracy behind it!

It turned out that shortly after Wen Zhirong was found dead, several attendants from the Hanlin Academy went to the Criminal Department to report that the Hanlin Academy was haunted!

Moreover, this ghost is none other than the Qing Aya Empress who died by self-immolation in the previous dynasty!

When Zhao Yuanshu, the secretary of the criminal department, heard it, he paid it back!

This is the imperial capital!

Sweeping the Eight Desolations and intimidating the door of the Xuanyue Emperor from all over the world!

Even if it is really the resurrection of the unfortunate empress of the previous dynasty, that ...... Then I'll have to bring her to justice!

So, I hurriedly sent a large group of people to the Hanlin Academy to investigate, no, I stayed up until dawn, except for bringing back a completely crazy Kong Xiangyun, nothing was found.

At noon, Li Daoguang, the young secretary of Dali Temple, stood outside the gate of the Tai Hospital, pacing back and forth, he only felt that his scalp was numb at the moment, and he had no clue at all!

Overnight, two major cases occurred in the imperial city one after another, a scholar was killed, and a scholar was frightened crazy, which ...... This is a precedent for 800 years of the Empire!

And as the second-in-command of Dali Temple, the burden on his shoulders can be said to have overwhelmed him!

"Ran'er...... What do you think of these two things? Are they related?" Li Daoguang hesitated for a long time, but still planned to ask the eldest son next to him for help.

Li Daoguang knew very well in his heart that the Li family's status today was all due to Li Ran's exhaustive strategy and step by step.

Speaking of which, Li Daoguang is still very puzzled, how can his eldest son, who has not learned and has been unskilled for more than ten years, suddenly become as if he was blessed by the immortals, and become a genius from heaven in the famous imperial capital, and become the "Imperial National Teacher" who is now standing next to him and has a noble status.

"Dad, I can't say anything about this matter, so if you don't ask me to connect the two things, I can only tell you that the "ghost" that Kong Xiangyun and these scholars saw is very likely to be the "ghost" who killed Wen Bo. ”

Seeing his father's helpless face, Li Ran also said helplessly: "Dad, this matter is outside my authority, and it is inconvenient for me to interfere, wait for me to ask the Holy Lord for instructions to see if I can be instructed to assist in the investigation of this case." ”

"Hey. Li Daoguang sighed, held his son's hand, and said bitterly: "It's useless for my father, my father knows very well in his heart, my position as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple is all based on you, and now I encounter a little thing, but I am completely helpless, I am ashamed of you, ashamed of the saint!"

"Dad, don't blame yourself, if it's really as I guessed before, it's an evil way warlock who kills people, not to mention a scribe from the Ministry of Rites like you, or Wu Zhen, the gold-lettered signboard of the six doors, he may not have a way. ”

Li Ran comforted, and said: "You first go along with the people from the Criminal Department and make a show, but remember to ask your subordinates to sort out the files related to these two cases and make an extra backup, and then let's see if we can find out anything." ”

"Well, this dad knows, don't worry. ”

......

......

Subsequently, Li Ran canceled his original plan, did not go to the martial arts superintendent to meet his younger brother, nor did he go back to the Fourth Princess's Mansion, he originally wanted to go directly to the Goddess Hall to meet his ...... Your Majesty, let's talk about this matter well, but remembering some of the fierce friction last night, both sides may need time to calm down.

So, he chose to go to the Hanlin Academy first.

At this time, the Hanlin Academy no longer had the sound of reading in the past.

After last night's haunted incident, most of the scholars and internal officials have been temporarily placed in the Guozijian next door, and the surrounding environment has become a little cold and gloomy.

Xiao Liuyan's mother, the Empress of Qing Aya......

Incarnate a ghost to ask for your life?

To be honest, Li Ran almost didn't believe it at all.

Not to mention that under this slight vein of evil, whether he, the "second mother-in-law", can "turn into a ghost", even if he has really become a powerful ghost, she should take revenge the most, and she is also the "first mother-in-law" in the temple of goddesses, the orthodox empress today.

And if she takes 10,000 steps back, she wants revenge, what's the point of killing a kind and honest idle official like Wen Zhirong?

Well, even if Wen Zhirong wasn't killed by her, then what did she do to scare these sour and rotten literati in the Hanlin Academy?

There's no logic to what the hell is meowing!

And this Qing Aya Empress has been dead for almost twenty years, and there are no strange things happening in this palace.

If it was really haunted, Murong Yu broke the city and entered the Forbidden Palace, so many people died, and the corpses of the moat were all stuffed, so it would be a group of ghosts dancing at that time.

Therefore, to sum up the above analysis, Li Ran still adheres to his previous judgment.

If Xiao Wan'er's "seeing ghosts" is true, then there is a high probability that there are "ghosts", but it is definitely a "ghost servant" who is manipulated by an evil monk.

He came to the lecture hall of the Hanlin Academy, at this time, in the courtyard of Nuo University, the fallen leaves were rustling, the desks were stacked empty, and the tall fence just blocked the sunlight, not to mention, it was really a bit of a horror movie.

According to the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy who went to the Criminal Department to report the crime, the female ghost appeared in the garden of the lecture hall.

He closed his eyes and used his spiritual sense to shroud his surroundings, and after some meticulous insight, he did not find anything suspicious.

At this moment, a hundred meters away, in the direction of Guozijian, there were faint screams!

Li Ran's heart froze, he ran the true yuan, stepped on the flying sword, and flew into the air.

When he descended from the sky and stepped into the Guozijian Garden, hundreds of Gongsheng dressed as scholars ran out in a panic.

"Dead! Dead again!" erupted in shouts from the crowd.

Li Ran's eyes were like electricity, and he instantly saw a tall and thin middle-aged man, shrunk in the corner, trembling, this person was one of the three scholars of the Hanlin Academy who came to the Criminal Department to report the case before, called "Kong Sheng".

He hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Master Kong, what happened?"

Kong Sheng trembled violently, his eyes dodged everywhere, and he said tremblingly: "She...... She's here again......"

"She?" Li Ran frowned, and reacted instantly.

That Kong Sheng's lips trembled, and he couldn't say a word anymore, but raised his hand tremblingly, pointing in the direction of a school in front of him.

Li Ran couldn't take care of it anymore, so he took up the light body technique, flew directly over the crowd, and fell into the Chinese Academy in front of him. Then, he saw a tingling scalp and a familiar scene......

In the corner outside the corridor, under a poplar tree, a middle-aged civil official with a short beard and a round face sat on a stone chair, his eyes were closed, his expression was peaceful, a short knife was inserted in his abdomen, and in the cracked abdominal cavity, blood and internal organs were flowing slowly, obviously he had just died. Everything is exactly the same as Wen Zhirong!

Li Ran quickly recognized that the deceased was the editor of the Hanlin Academy, Yuan Wenzhong, the doctor of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy who had previously reported the case with Kong Sheng outside.

Li Ran fixed his eyes and saw that on Yuan Wenzhong's knees, there was a hosta with chic and luxurious workmanship and a fire phoenix tattoo.

At this moment, the hosta had already been stained red by the blood of the corpse.

Li Ran looked at this hosta seriously, and always felt that he had seen it somewhere, and he was very familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

That's right!

The hosta on the queen's phoenix crown seems to be ...... Seems like this?

Damn, she's not going to have an accident, is she?

Li Ran really can't be calm now!

He swiped his finger at the void, sacrificed his flying sword, and was about to leave the sky, when the figure of a dozen or so Dao rushed over.

It was Wu Zhen, the chief catcher of the six doors, and a group of golden knives to catch fast, as well as ......

A woman.

A woman who almost ruined him!

I haven't seen her all night, her white and straight long legs are still there, the delicate little face of the royal sister is still the same, and even the ponytail hair is still so heroic.

"Sister Qingxue, why are you spicy?"

Li Ran blurted out.

"Shut up, who's your sister?"

Xiao Qingxue glared at him coldly, perhaps remembering the picture of the two of them alone in the room last night, her pink cheeks were slightly red, and she quickly dropped her gaze to the side.

At this time, her beautiful eyes suddenly froze, staring at the bloody hosta.

"Second Highness, do you recognize this thing?" Wu Zhen said in a low voice.

Li Ran could see that this iron-faced and selfless Wu Tietou had an extremely respectful and humble attitude towards Xiao Qingxue, and it seemed that Xiao Qingxue's status in the hearts of the warriors of the current dynasty was really not just talking.

Xiao Qingxue's eyes were shocked, it seemed completely incredible, and after a while, she said, "This thing...... This thing is my second aunt...... The phoenix hairpin of the Empress of the Green Aya. ”
