Nineteen years ago, the eighth year of the Apocalypse, Yu Chengfeng and Sun Yijue from the Nine Heavens turned against each other. Yu Chengfeng was defeated in the battle and was shot down to the mortal world. Sun Yijue therefore issued a killing order to the human world.
Emperor Zhao Bairen ordered that on this day, all the babies born on the day when the golden light appeared in Daqi be killed. For a time, blood was everywhere in Daqi, and countless babies were slaughtered. Some families who were unwilling to hide and hide even died after being found out. The whole family was destroyed!
Xuan Mingliang was an assistant teacher at the Imperial College, and his whole family was tragically killed because of this tragedy!
Li Chengfeng felt very sad because the changes in his previous life had brought such disaster to the world!
If nothing unexpected happens, Concubine Ming may very well be closely related to the Xuan family's murder. She may even be the one who slipped through the net, deliberately lurking into the palace to seek revenge!
When Li Chengfeng thought of this, he felt that his reasoning was probably the truth, and he felt excited for a moment!
Now, the most important thing is to check Xuanjia's information to see if there is anything that has slipped through the net!
Thinking of this, Li Chengfeng glanced at Huang Bao'er, pondered for a moment, and then said to Xiao Dongzi next to him: "I will give you another mission to make sure that no one is allowed to come near this place! Anyone who violates this rule will be executed immediately." No mercy! You are not allowed to leave your post without permission until an official comes to take over the defense, can you do it?"
Xiao Dongzi was very excited. He realized that his opportunity had come, and immediately nodded excitedly: "Yes, I will definitely help Lord Li handle this job!"
Li Chengfeng patted him on the shoulder, and Xiao Dongzi immediately felt that his bones were a few ounces lighter, and his nostrils almost turned upward when he looked at people.
Huang Baoer on the side sighed secretly, knowing that the other party must have noticed that he was old and timid, so he handed this opportunity and responsibility to the younger and more courageous Xiaodongzi. At such a young age, he has become so experienced in doing things in a blink of an eye. I don’t know how he developed such skills.
Li Chengfeng threw it down and quickly headed towards the Tibetan archives building. He moved very quickly, holding the machine-operated jade pendant high, causing the divine guards and blood guards who had noticed the movement and rushed over to see the jade pendant. Get out of the way and let Li Chengfeng rush into the archives building unimpeded.
He came so fast that Zheng Qiuyun, who had washed his face and cheered up, hadn't even set off yet!
When Zheng Qiuyun saw Li Chengfeng leaving and coming back, he must have found important clues. He quickly went up to meet him and said, "Master Li, do you have any clues?"
Li Chengfeng said: "That's right! According to my investigation, the deceased Huang Yun had a very good personal relationship with Xuan Mingliang, an assistant professor of the Imperial Academy, and Xuan Mingliang's whole family died in the Jinguang Infant Massacre nineteen years ago. I feel that as long as Follow this line and check to see if Concubine Ming has any connection with the Xuan Mingliang family, and you will definitely be able to make a breakthrough!"
Zheng Qiuyun has been investigating cases all his life, and Li Chengfeng can keenly detect clues. When he heard this, his eyes lit up, and he smiled and said: "Based on Zheng's experience in investigating cases for most of his life, Concubine Ming We are absolutely inseparable from this Xuan family!"
"Check! Immediately surround the Xuan family's clues and investigate!!" Li Chengfeng ordered, and he said to Han Tianxing on the side, "Go tell the princess and ask him to send reliable personnel to help investigate the case immediately. We need ten clerks." There are 40 people and 40 guards around here, and no one is allowed in or out!"
After saying that, Han Tianxing immediately took the order and left. Zheng Qiuyun rushed to Huang Yun's home to continue the investigation. Li Chengfeng found Liu Sumei and said: "It is very likely that Concubine Ming's true identity and details have been found out. Can you use illusion to make her Will Concubine Ming reveal the truth?"
Liu Sumei shook her head helplessly and said: "We are only roughly involved in illusions. If you want to be proficient, you must give up the art of magic and specialize in illusions before you can specialize! Concubine Ming is determined and mentally strong. If she is really planning to murder your majesty, Man, I'm afraid that if I use illusions again, it won't help, and it will scare the snake even more, and then even if the illusion master comes again, it won't help."
Li Chengfeng stumbled and said, "At this juncture, where can I find a monk who specializes in illusion?"
Liu Sumei smiled and said: "There are no monks who practice illusion, but right now, there is no place to go without breaking through the iron shoes. There is a ready-made top illusion master right under your nose!"
Li Chengfeng's expression changed and he blurted out: "Su Yuehan?"
Liu Sumei said meaningfully: "That's right! This case is of great importance, and you won't be worried about other people, but if I am not wrong, if the case continues to be pursued, all the clues will be decapitations, and it will become useless. This is the first case! The other party must have cut off all the tracing clues early. You have no evidence, and there is nothing you can do against an imperial concubine!"
Yes, mere suspicion cannot prove that Concubine Ming is suspected of regicide!
Now that I have traced this point, if I give up... then the entire investigation of the case will fail. If I fail, it will be a trivial matter related to reputation, but it will be a big blow to Zhao Feiyue.
But the most important thing is... this will bring a devastating blow to the entire Daqi court!
Li Chengfeng looked at Xiao Lingdang aside and said, "Xiao Lingdang, how is the situation in the court now?"
Xiao Lingdang yawned and said: "It's a mess. Now the officials of the prince's family are crazy about impeaching the fourth prince, saying that he formed a clique for personal gain and plotted to cause chaos in the country. The prince should be expelled. The officials who deal with the fourth prince's family and are imprisoned are crazy. Impeachment of the prince, saying that he has evil intentions and treason and regicide, must be abolished! Zhao Feiyue and the Prime Minister are so exhausted that they are unable to suppress the wave of strife between the two parties. Today, there have been three large-scale fights in the court, and I heard that they were even killed. People!"
Li Chengfeng was shocked: "Ah? Fighting? Where? Why? How did you know?"
Little Lingdang chuckled and said, "I heard what those eunuchs said. They said that these adults like to fight, and sometimes they even fight in the court!"
Li Chengfeng remembered that during the meeting with the president, the adults had indeed performed a full martial arts show in front of him. Unexpectedly... now it has become more and more intense!
Li Chengfeng looked solemn: "What's going on outside now?"
Xiao Lingdang said: "Now the officials from the prince's family outside are inciting the scholars to cause trouble. Many prince students are parading through the streets carrying the statues of saints and the saints of the past dynasties."
Li Chengfeng stamped his feet and said: "What a nonsense! This is putting the prince in an unjust and disadvantageous situation! No one can control them!"
Little Lingdang curled her lips and said: "What do you care about? Who can control it? Now the entire Shenjing is out of control! Without the suppression of the emperor, prince and fourth prince, all the forces are completely out of control! Shenjing is now in chaos!"
Li Chengfeng sighed: "The case must be solved as soon as possible!"
Xiao Lingdang glanced at Li Chengfeng and said meaningfully: "You should find a way to rescue your little lover first! Right now, she is the only one who can quickly induce Concubine Ming to plead guilty. Otherwise, if the investigation continues like this, I really don't know when. The case is being solved!”
Liu Sumei shook her head and said: "If the other party has been planning to commit regicide for a long time, then it is impossible for you to get the evidence. After all, the other party has been planning for more than ten years, and they have left a few days of gap in the middle, which is enough for them. The corpses have been destroyed and no traces are left! You have been behind the opponent for three days!"
Li Chengfeng's face was solemn. He knew very well that he must find a way to rescue Su Yuehan, but... if he rescued Su Yuehan and asked her to use illusions to make Concubine Ming confess, then wouldn't Su Yuehan fall into a trap and admit to the world without asking: Is she the Thousand Faced Demon
However, if the case is not solved as soon as possible and the case continues like this, the consequences will be so terrible that Li Chengfeng cannot even imagine it!
So, should you take the risk to save people and solve the case, or should you take the risk and stick to the case
For a moment, Li Chengfeng imagined a battle between heaven and man in his mind, and his expression changed.
