Chapter 2 Integrity Rift I

On August 17, 4512 in the Ruixia calendar, on the day of the sun, a shocking case occurred in the Moon Soul of the Dongrui Continent. Two felons who were supposed to be beheaded the next day were kidnapped in the middle of the night, and more than a dozen jailers were killed or wounded. Emperor Mingde was furious when he heard the news, and immediately ordered the chief officer of the torture hall in charge of the prison to investigate the case, and the deadline was five days to arrest the murderer.

At the beginning of the 12 kingdoms of Dongrui, it was the time when the swords and guns were put into the warehouse, and the people were recuperating and recuperating, since the first emperor of the moon soul a hundred years later, this monarch succeeded to the throne at the age of 26 in order to change the dilemma of the weakening of the country's strength, recruit talents, be good at serving capable ministers, work hard, and work hard for more than ten years. Although the moon soul is strong, the people's heart is also simple, so it can also be regarded as a sign of the prosperity of the road and the night is not closed.

The people of the country praised him as the most virtuous emperor since the founding of the Moon Soul, and the emperor was also a little proud of it. More than 20 days ago, I came to Cuiyun Mountain, the first immortal mountain in the territory, and asked the head of the Immortal Dao of the Nine-Fingered Immortal Gate on the mountain to give the name Mingde, and I didn't want to have this thing under my nose not long after returning to the capital, and I was furious.

Five days later, after the end of the morning of the bell, more than a dozen important ministers of the state entered the hall one after another with solemn expressions, and knelt on the couches on both sides of the hall according to their respective official positions. After sitting down, Emperor Mingde's dragon eyes swept the ministers on both sides, and said in a deep voice: Li Aiqing?

Has the prison robbery case ever been closed?

Your Majesty, the murderer has been apprehended, and the two death row prisoners who were robbed have also been brought to justice!

Emperor Mingde sighed slightly, nodded and continued: Li Aiqing worked hard, and told me about the causes and consequences of this case!

Wang, two death row inmates, a couple who were engaged in a small business in the city, sold a snow salamander from the cold stream of the snow-capped mountains to the rarer fire salamander produced in the hot springs in order to make up for the loss. These two attributes are opposite, and there is not much difference between the size and size of the middle finger salamander in terms of appearance, body color, etc., and it is not easy to distinguish. His Majesty personally consulted an elder who had been hunting salamanders for many years, and learned that the former had five toes in front of his limbs and four toes in the back, and the latter had four toes in the front and five in the back. The snow salamander nourishes yin and nourishes the kidneys, and the fire salamander aphrodisiac and refines. Originally, if ordinary people ate this snow salamander, there would be no big problem, and it would not cause death, but this pair of foolish husbands and fools rarely came into contact with this snow salamander, but they did not know that this snow salamander was cold and fearful, but it was fire, but the fire salamander was the opposite. The couple sold nine snow salamanders, resulting in the death of four of them. The family of the sufferer was angry and sued the official, so the foolish man and foolish woman were taken, and the two criminals who did not move the punishment confessed to the court and were detained, and they were put in prison to be beheaded according to the law on the 18th of this month, and they did not want to be rescued from prison by their son who returned from the border army and killed many jailers on the night of the 17th. Fortunately, a curfew was imposed in the city at night, so the three of them could not escape from the city, and hid in the city for several days.

Oh, so what kind of business did the couple do, and why did they take such a risk, and end up killing someone?

This ・・・・・・, this・・・・・・ Li Xingdian's face turned pale and his heart was entangled, and he didn't know whether to say it for a while. Emperor Mingde narrowed his eyes, and saw that fine sweat was already breaking out on Li Xingdian's forehead, and the more strange he felt in his heart, he said: Is there still a hidden secret, Li Aiqing said quickly, I will make a clear decision!

Li Xingdian hesitated, took a deep breath, hurriedly glanced at Fan Zuohu Palace, who was lowering his eyes, and said in a deep voice: The reason for this case is also related to Zuohu Palace.

Ah・・・・・・h

As soon as these words came out, a few officials in the hall couldn't help but speak out, feeling very surprised. After Fan Zuohudian also screamed, his face flushed and hurriedly rushed to the center of the hall and knelt side by side with Li Xingdian, bowed down and argued urgently: Your Majesty, your subordinates don't know this foolish man and foolish woman, and they don't understand why Li Xingdian wants to say that this matter is related to your subordinates, please make a clear decision from the king! After that, he turned his head and glared at Li Xingdian, and the blue tendons on his forehead burst out.

Li Aiqing, how can this matter have anything to do with Fan Aiqing? Emperor Mingde asked suspiciously.

Your Majesty, the matter is like this・・・・・・ the corners of Li Xingdian's mouth twitched and he secretly felt bitter, and he had no choice but to tell the ins and outs of the matter one by one.

It turned out that the old couple surnamed Zhang had set up a stall outside their house to buy and sell sundries used by the people every day, and the business was not good or bad, and they barely survived. A few days ago, as a junior, he came to visit the old couple, and inadvertently said that the daughter of the Zuohu Palace was suffering from a serious illness, and many famous doctors were asked to diagnose and treat it without improvement. Two of them are more difficult to find and more valuable. One is called blood coral, which is found in the South China Sea. This thing has the effect of replenishing blood and returning yin, improving qi and rejuvenating the face, and it is also a rare treasure for people in the fairy gate. One of them is the snow salamander, which is not very common, but it is not very precious, it belongs to the kind of thing that no one needs to give away and no one wants, and if you really want to use it, it does not mean that you can buy it. I didn't want this old man to know a salamander catcher who caught this salamander for a living, so he asked this nephew to go back to Fan's Mansion to ask if he could take over this business. The next day after the nephew returned, he replied that the Fan Mansion had agreed to collect enough snow salamanders from Old Man Zhang, and to buy ten at once within ten days, but they must be living creatures, and each one was worth sixty taels of silver. When Old Man Zhang heard this, he secretly calculated in his heart, not to mention that he was satisfied with the price, and the time was quite abundant, so he was overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed, and asked his nephew to go back to the house to reply, saying that the matter was settled. In these years, everyone is very trustworthy, even if it is a verbal promise, so there is no contract in black and white.

The next day, Old Man Zhang hired a dragon-scale carriage at a high price and set off for the snow-capped mountains thousands of miles away, to find the salamander catcher to buy the snow salamander.
