Hua Chong said that there were spies around the emperor, and Bao Zheng, who knew about it, was still behind, and the Eight Sages King and the princess and the Empress Dowager Li were all surprised. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing Hua Chong mention this, Renzong hurriedly asked, "Could it be that Guo Huai is a spy?"

Hua Chong shook his head and said, "He's just the one who provides information to the spies." ”

"How do you know?"

"Long live, on the way to Beijing, the minister has been wondering, who will secretly assassinate the Queen Mother, there is no reason. Hua Chong paced back and forth in the room, like a detective reasoning, and everyone including Emperor Renzong didn't say a word, quietly watching him pretend to be B, uh... No, it's watching him reason.

"It wasn't until just now, when I listened to Manager Chen's words, that I understood that what they were afraid of was that Empress Dowager Li would enter the palace and take revenge!"

Hua Chong looked up, and saw that everyone was looking at him, and a sense of pride arose in his heart, he should show his face today, it doesn't matter if he gets the official title, this time it is another great achievement.

Hua Chong cleared his throat and continued, "Long live, if my expectations are correct, this spy must be a small person, and it is very likely that he has been lurking beside Guo Huai, for some reason, he learned about the dirty things of Concubine Liu and Guo Huai back then, and found the Queen Mother before me!"

Then, he used the Empress Dowager to blackmail Guo Huai on the grounds that she was still in the world, and asked Guo Huai to provide him with information! Of course, if he wants to be coerced, he does not want the Empress Dowager to really enter the palace one day in the future. Because since he knows what happened back then, then he will definitely know that one day in the future, the mother of the country will return to the dynasty, and Guo Huai will die!"

He was afraid that when there was really such a day in the future, Guo Huai would turn against the water and recruit himself, so he repeatedly sent people to plot against the Queen Mother, but unfortunately the Queen Mother of God bless him, when he first started, he met Jiuyun Shenni, so he failed again and again. ”

"And this time I went out of the palace with Lord Bao, acting as a folk word along the way, it is very likely that I met the Queen Mother on the way, so this person couldn't sit still anymore, he invited Peng Hai to make a move, but he was repelled by my two masters and Jiuyun Shenni. He could no longer stop the Queen Mother from returning to the palace. When he heard that his ministers had entered Beijing, he killed Guo Huai!"

Renzong's face darkened: "Are you saying that Guo Huai did not commit suicide, but was killed?"

Hua Chong's face was firm: "According to the minister's guess, it should be so." ”

Renzong said: "But this is all your speculation. ”

"That's right, so I hope to go to Guo Huai's room now, he just died, there should be some clues, as long as the murderer leaves some clues, the minister can find him out!"

Emperor Renzong is also a young man, and after listening to Hua Chong's reasoning, he was also interested, so he ordered Bao Zheng to accompany him, and after Fan Ronghua entered the palace, he went to the dinner together, so that the Eight Sages King and his wife could catch up with the Empress Dowager Li. And he himself personally went to the scene of the crime with Hua Chong and Chen Lin.

Guo Huai, as the capital of the inner government, is the number one person among the eunuchs in the inner house, and he has a separate small courtyard, such treatment is only available to him and the chief manager Chen Lin.

At this moment, there were forbidden troops standing guard inside and outside the courtyard, and when they saw Banzai coming, they all knelt down and saluted, and Renzong came to the officer headed by him and said, "Has anyone ever been in?"

The officer knelt down and said, "Long live, since I came with Chief Chen, the minister has blocked this place, and no one has entered." ”

Renzong nodded, and walked in with Hua Chong and Chen Linji, as soon as he entered the room, Emperor Renzong was full of anger and shouted: "Come on! Drag out the traitor outside the door and behead him!"

Before the officer outside the door could stand up, he was startled by the emperor's angry shout and fell down directly, and two soldiers came next to him to help him up, and he ran into the house tremblingly.

It turned out that the house was empty, yes, there was no one, no one alive, not one dead!

Where did Guo Huai go?

Renzong said angrily: "What about Guo Huai! Didn't you say that no one has ever come! Where has Guo Huai gone!"

The officer was already like a sifting chaff, and he couldn't even kowtow, and the whole person was like an electric shock, and he collapsed on the ground and convulsed. Seeing this, Renzong was even more angry, and shouted: "Come on, drag it out, and the golden gourd will hit the top!"

"Wait!"

Renzong turned around and saw that Hua Chong was squatting on the ground, staring at a square brick on the ground, unable to take his eyes off it.

"Hua Aiqing, why are you holding me back!"

"Long live, this general is not lying, no one should have come in!"

"Should you? You told me that no one should have come in, so where did Guo Huai go?"

"Evaporated!"

"Evaporation?" Emperor Renzong obviously didn't study chemistry, and even Chen Lin wondered, "What is evaporation?"

"Uh...... Evaporate...... It is...... It's gone!"

"Gone?"

Hua Chong pointed to a square brick on the ground and said to Emperor Renzong: "If there is, this is Guo Huai." ”

"This brick, Hua Aiqing?" Renzong's face was obviously a little unsightly.

Hua Chong also found that he was getting more and more nervous at this time, and hurriedly changed his appearance: "Long live, it's not this brick, please take a closer look at this brick, how it is different from others." ”

Renzong also squatted down like Hua Chong, looked at this square brick carefully, looked at it for a long time, and said coldly to Hua Chong: "I didn't find any difference between this square brick and the others. ”

Hua Chong didn't dare to sell Guan Zi anymore, and pointed to this square brick and said: "Long live, take a closer look at this brick, there is a big stain on it, have you found it? ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Long live, the minister guessed that Guo Huai was hit by a strange poison, called 'Ecstasy and Bone Erosion', which is one of the five strange poisons in the martial arts. The poisoned person turned into pus and blood and died, leaving only a puddle of pus and blood stains after death, and the bones of the corpse were gone, so it was called ecstasy and bone erosion. ”

Renzong nodded, frowned, and said, "You mean he was poisoned by this?"

"Probably this poison, Gonggong Chen, did you notice anything unusual when you came here?"

"Strange?" Chen Lin carefully recalled the scene at that time: "I see that his face is purple, which should be a sign of poisoning." ”

"Do you feel that Guo Huai has lost weight?"

"Thin?" Chen Lin had a feeling of incomprehension.

"This poison comes from the inside out, and when it dies, it gradually erodes the body, melting first the internal organs, then the muscles and bones, and then the skin. ”

"When poisoning into the internal organs, it is a sign of poisoning from the outside, and the poison enters the muscles and bones, the skeleton is scattered, and the flesh and skin of the person have no support, and it will be paralyzed like mud, and when the poison enters the skin, the person will gradually shrink, and finally turn into blood. ”

Chen Lin thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "At that time, he was paralyzed on the ground, if it was really as you said, it should be poisoned into the muscles and bones!"

Hua Chong confirmed what he thought, and said with a smile: "That's right, according to this time calculation, he should be poisoned at lunchtime, this poison is generally mixed into the water, and he usually serves in the palace, that is, he can rest at noon." According to the time, when Gonggong Chen came, it was almost the time when the poison entered the muscles and bones. Now it's just a matter of finding out who he had lunch with. ”

Hearing this, Chen Lin hurriedly knelt down: "Lord Hua, the meal I ate with Guo Huai at noon ......"
