I gestured to Taoist Songhe with the bamboo tube, and his face changed greatly, sweat dripping down his cheeks.
"You—you are witchcraft! Not to be believed!"
"Do Taoist Songhe want to try again with your golden hairpin?"
Taoist Songhe held the golden hairpin on the crown and looked horrified.
"Dongling Crane!" Beichen Tianheng shouted angrily, "How dare you!"
"Emperor! I really don't know what's going on! I beg the emperor for mercy!" Songhe Taoist hurriedly knelt down and kept kowtowing.
"In vain, as a side branch of the royal family, you don't want to assist Jiangshan Sheji, but instead harm the empress and concubine, what sin do you think you should be guilty of!"
"The old man is guilty! The old man is guilty! But the old man really doesn't know how there is mercury in the 'Fire Phoenix Pill'!" Songhe Taoist looked bitter, "Where did the old man go to get the mercury? Please the emperor look into it!"
"Your Majesty." I said to Bei Chen Tianheng, "Now it's just to prove that there is mercury in the medicinal pill, and there is no evidence to prove that it was done by Daoist Songhe. Don't make a hasty decision."
Beichen Tianheng's face was cloudy and uncertain, as if he wanted to kill Songhe Daoist to vent his anger, and I was also apprehensive.
"It's better to put Daoist Songhe into the Heavenly Prison first, and wait for his release." At this time, Beichen Shaoyuan said leisurely, but his expression was as if it had nothing to do with him.
I still smiled gratefully at him, and it would have been easier if he spoke.
Sure enough, Beichen Tianheng pondered for a while, and waved his hand to hold Daoist Songhe down.
Daoist Songhe kept thanking him, and even dragged the ground to bow to me gratefully. I laughed dryly, just discussing the matter and not wanting another person to die in vain because of me.
"Shuxing, it's better for you to investigate this matter." Beichen Shaoyuan's tone was beyond doubt.
"I?"
I looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what medicine he was selling in the gourd, and then looked at Beichen Tianheng, and he nodded in agreement as if watching a show.
Murder the Queen and Concubine! I seem to have gotten myself another mess! Can't help but feel sad.
Beichen Tianheng patted me on the shoulder encouragingly and went in to visit Shunmi.
I stood and pondered for a moment, but to no avail, I am neither Sherlock Holmes nor Conan, how can I know how to investigate the case!
At this time, a young man in black clothes came with his sword on his back. He seemed startled when he saw me, but he immediately lowered his face and knelt down toward Bei Chen Shaoyuan.
"Your Highness, all of them have been left alive and locked in the Heavenly Prison."
"Well, let's take a look." Beichen Shaoyuan drank his tea lazily, and said to me without raising his head, "Shuxing, let's go with this king as well."
"Where are you going?" I was taken aback for a moment, isn't it investigating the case, what should I do
Beichen Shaoyuan got up and slowly stopped in front of me.
"You really don't know that mercury is only produced in Tuyuan? It is not easy for Xi to find mercury."
I glanced at him in confusion. Qin Shihuang didn't fill the tomb with mercury to fill the river. I thought mercury was a very common thing.
"It just so happens that this king has a few suspicious Tuyuan spies in his hands. Shuxing might as well come and take a look." The corner of Beichen Shaoyuan's mouth evoked a smile again, which was extremely beautiful.
What was he thinking about, how could it be so coincidental? But now I have no other way, let's go and see for the time being.
The black-clothed youth with the sword on his back respectfully waited for Beichen Shaoyuan to walk out, and then followed him closely, as if he had developed the habit of protecting him at any time. I couldn't help laughing. With Beichen Shaoyuan's skill, how many people could be injured? Got him!
