Yes, I am terrified when I think about it carefully.
His expression and attitude made Murong Ci anxious, "Actually, I am planning to tell you that I have just returned to the East Palace not long ago."
Murong Yu said solemnly: "At this time, I don't know if anyone in the imperial capital has smoked Aphrodisiac ointment, but what is certain is that Zhuang Qin and Gan Taizu are not the only ones in the capital who smoke. What this king wants to know is that they spontaneously Smoking, or someone deliberately induced them to smoke."
"Someone deliberately induced it" She opened her eyes wide in horror. If someone really deliberately induced it, then this matter would be terrible.
"I will send people to secretly investigate who Zhuang Qin and Gan Taizu had contacted and made friends with before and after taking the drug. If there is any news from Dali Temple, I will immediately report it to the king."
She nodded, "It's better to conduct a large-scale investigation among all Beijing officials, but I can't find a clever reason."
His deep eyes were slightly cold, "How to check?"
"Hundreds of Beijing officials are carried out in batches. For example, today the three officials gathered in the main hall. They are very addicted to taking opium ointment. They must take it every day, otherwise they will be very uncomfortable. Therefore, if you lock them up overnight, you can see Strange."
"It's not right, the movement is too loud, it will startle the snake, and let those criminals who secretly sell drug ointment get the news."
"I can't think of any other way."
"This Wang Guang sent people to follow up in the study of the Beijing official after the time of Haishi, and carried out in batches."
"This is more secretive, but is there so many people?"
"Your Highness can't trust the King"
"My lord's ability, of course, I can trust." Murong Ci squinted his eyes and smiled, but it was fake, "What should we do with the Beijing officials who have been found to have taken drugs?"
"If you deal with it according to the law, the crime will not be pardoned." Murong Yu's thick eyebrows were like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, with a cold light.
"By the way, did the Military Weapons Supervisor find anything?" She asked again, knowing that he also sent someone to the authentic exit to wait and see.
"Wan Fang and Wang Tao are very vigilant, and they probably won't take any action in the near future." He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her fixedly, "What did your Highness find?"
"My lord has so many eyes and ears that I can't find it. How can I find it?" She smiled slightly.
"If you find anything, don't act on your own, and report it to the king immediately." He solemnly urged.
"This palace remembers. There are many things, the prince should go back and arrange first." She said with a smile.
"Your Highness bit the king's shoulder so hard, it still hurts, please check if it is bleeding." Murong Yu suddenly slanted the corners of his lips, with a half-smile.
"My lord, I'd better go back and let the servants close by take a look." The corners of Murong Ci's lips twitched, and he walked out briskly, but a row of clear and red tooth marks on Yubai's shoulder after biting just now appeared in his mind, "I send you To the prince."
He watched her run away in a hurry and smiled.
In the afternoon of the next day, Murong Ci received a message from Dali Temple.
The yamen servants arranged by Dali Temple to watch Qingyang Lane discovered that the man in the veiled hat was trading with someone. When they handed over the money and delivered the goods, those yamen servants immediately rushed forward and arrested him.
The yamen servant took the man back to Dali Temple and took him into custody. Shen Zhiyan immediately went to the cell for interrogation, but the man's mouth was so rigid that he would not confide a word even after being subjected to two kinds of torture.
Murong Ci hurried to Dali Temple, Gu Huai and Shen Zhiyan came out to greet her, she told them to go to the cell immediately without being too polite.
"Uncle Wang is right. That man is five feet four inches and ordinary-looking. It's hard to tell who he is from." Shen Zhiyan said as he walked.
"With such a hard mouth, you need to use extreme means." She smiled coolly.
The prison cells in Dali Temple are not like the large prisons of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, which are dedicated to detaining felons. They are rebuilt from several rooms and retain the characteristics of the rooms. They are all single rooms with solid walls.
They entered the spacious cell, where the man was bound to a wooden frame, his limbs bound with huge iron chains.
There was a strange smell of blood in the air, which lingered for a long time, Murong Ci frowned slightly, and looked at the man. The man drooped his head and could not see his face. The gray robe on his body was so tattered that he could not cover his body. His body was covered with welt marks all over his body, and there were black marks from a burning iron. His skin was scorched into black. ,shocking.
He seemed to have heard something, and raised his head a little, but quickly lowered it.
"I really didn't spit out half a word"
She asked coldly, looking at the man who sold the drug ointment, she burned with rage.
Let the drug poison the court, 10,000 deaths, 50,000 quarters, and thousands of cuts are not enough to vent hatred.
"The bones are very hard." Shen Zhiyan said bitterly.
"Since his bones are so hard, let's break his bones." Murong Ci smiled.
"Good idea." He sneered sinisterly, "I'll find someone with strong internal skills to break all the bones in his body later."
"But before breaking the bones, I want to do one more interesting thing."
"What's up"
"Pour bee water on his wound, and the ants in the cell smell the fragrance and come crawling on his wound." Her smile is clearly bright and sweet, but it makes the scalp tingle for no reason, and I feel a wave of pain in the back. The wind blew past, "By the way, you can also sprinkle some salt on the wound. I don't know what it feels like."
&n
bsp;"That's a great idea. Bee water, salt, and bone crushing wheel will be used together." Shen Zhiyan said in cooperation, "Thinking about it makes me feel excited. That scene must be interesting and fun."
The man tied to the wooden frame was trembling because of fear, and the crisp sound of the chains hitting each other was so clear in the silent prison cell.
Murong Ci smiled, "Are you from the Northern Yan Kingdom, are you from the Eastern Chu Kingdom or the Nanyue Kingdom?"
There was a dead silence.
His messy hair fell over his forehead, hiding his expression.
The opened eyes flickered slightly.
She smiled softly, "It doesn't matter if you don't speak, since you can be caught, your accomplices and the people above will catch you soon. Zhiyan, prepare salt and bee water."
Shen Zhiyan replied: "Okay."
"You can't get a word from me"
The man raised his head and said every word, as if he wanted to grind his teeth.
The next moment, he bit down hard, and Shen Zhiyan was taken aback, and rushed up quickly.
However, it was too late.
The man killed himself by biting his tongue, because he didn't want to reveal his secret because he couldn't bear the torture.
Shen Zhiyan looked at her and said helplessly, "The clue is broken again."
Murong Ci's expression was cold, and he asked, "Who is he trading with?"
"By the way, the yamen servant brought that man back to Dali Temple. That man is a servant of the wealthy Li family in the city. He said that he went to Qingyang Lane to buy opium ointment under the orders of his master."
"Go to Lee's"
She hurried out, and he also thought of this crucial point, and hurriedly chased her out.
The two rode fast horses to the rich man Li's mansion in the city. She remembered that not long ago Zhaohua had a commotion in the Phoenix Tower, and the one who fell in love with Zhaohua was Mr. Li from the Li family.
When they arrived at Li's mansion, the two revealed their identities and forced their way inside.
The housekeeper yelled and followed behind, and many servants watched them force their way into the house in a daze.
Shen Zhiyan and Murong Ci went straight to the study in the backyard, and the housekeeper explained repeatedly: "Master is not in the mansion, he left half an hour ago."
Murong Ci motioned to Shen Zhiyan, he understood, and kicked open the door of the study.
"Even if you are the officials of Dali Temple, you can't do this. My master didn't break the law."
"Your master had better go out, otherwise your Li family will be in great trouble." Her bright eyes were condensed, and her voice was calm.
"This..." the housekeeper met her sharp gaze and lowered his head in awe.
Shen Zhiyan barged in, and she followed.
There are also two study rooms inside and outside the Li family's study. The outside study room is in order, with no signs of fighting or struggling. The interior is spacious with a bamboo couch.
There was a person lying on the bamboo couch, lying on his side, bleeding from his seven orifices, his death condition was horrific.
Shen Zhiyan walked over slowly, stretched out his hand to detect the man's breath, "Dead."
Murong Ci's heart was a little heavy, and another one died, but he didn't know if Master Li died of poisoning.
"Ah, what's wrong, my lord?" The butler rushed to the bed, crying mournfully, "My lord is dead, my lord is dead!"
"Master Li also takes a lotus ointment." She picked up the carved gold box on the small table, opened it and smelled it, "it's a lotus ointment, but it's used up."
"Looking at the position of the bong, it should be that Master Li was killed while he was smoking." Shen Zhiyan looked at the bong near the dead man's head with a heavy expression.
"My master was killed by someone, you have to avenge my master," the housekeeper begged tearfully.
"Get out of the way first, I want to examine your master's body, so that we can find evidence of the murderer's murder." Shen Zhiyan said, this time he didn't bring gloves, so he could only examine it with bare hands.
The housekeeper backed away, wiped away tears sadly, Murong resigned: "Quickly go and inform your wife."
The housekeeper came to his senses and hurried away.
She stood in the middle of the inner room and looked around, "How did Master Li die?"
While examining, Shen Zhiyan said: "The deceased was about fifty years old, his body was still warm, and he had been dead for nearly an hour. He lay on his side, bleeding from the seven orifices, and there was no scar on the surface of the body."
She walked to the window, the sash was half closed, and there was a faint shoe print on the window sill.
The flowers and trees outside the window are lush and green, suitable for hiding and escaping.
"Your Highness, Master Li didn't die from poisoning from overdose of drug ointment." Shen Zhiyan said decisively.
"How did he die?" Murong Ci came over and asked.
"If I'm not mistaken, he should have been slapped and his internal organs were broken to death." He lifted the deceased's robe, "Look, there is a faint palm print on his chest."
"The murderer has deep internal strength, and he killed Master Li with a single palm. At that time, Master Li should have seen the murderer come in, and he didn't struggle, and there was no sign of a fight in the house." She pondered, "Could it be that Master Li and the murderer knew each other?"
"There is also a possibility that when the murderer came in, Mr. Li was taking Aphrodisiac ointment. It was the moment when he was in a ecstasy and lost his mind. He didn't know anyone came in. The murderer slapped him, and he woke up, but soon Just die, there is no room for struggle at all."
