The person who came was the current monarch of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Tianyang.

Zhu Tianyang waved his hands, looked at the ghost masters in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "How is it? Have you found out who killed people in the palace?"

"Report to His Majesty, it has not been found out yet."

A ghost master shook his head and said, "According to our investigation, this corpse died at least two hours ago."

"That is to say, when the maid found the body, he had been dead for at least an hour."

Zhu Tianyang nodded, and asked lightly, "Where are the tools used to commit crimes?"

Hearing the words, the ghost master was silent for a moment, and then quietly said: "The tools used to commit crimes..."

"It should be the forward saber!"

Forward saber?

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Tianyang's expression changed instantly.

The several guards and eunuchs behind him took a breath of air almost at the same time.

There was a deep look of shock in his eyes.

Although the saber of the former dynasty was an extremely fierce weapon in the former dynasty, it was too large and inconvenient to wield, so production has ceased since 300 years ago.

The folk sabers were basically confiscated by the court.

Now in the entire Ming Dynasty, basically you can't find a forward saber!

Zhu Tianyang frowned and said, "You mean..."

"The tool used to commit the crime this time is also the weapon of the previous dynasty?"

"Yes."

The ghost master nodded solemnly.

Today's case is not the first tragedy in the palace.

Since two months ago, various tragedies have occurred in the palace one after another, and the people who died are basically palace guards or royal guards.

Counting today, it is already No.18!

Being able to commit crimes in the palace eighteen times is already a very bizarre thing in itself.

And what's even more surprising is...

After the coroner's examination, it was found that the wounds on these corpses were all weapons from the previous dynasty.

For example, the saber facing forward, the fire gun facing forward, the spear spear facing forward...

Without exception!

All are ancient weapons that have been out of production for many years and were only owned by the previous dynasty!

Chapter 143 The past of Ming Dynasty, the mysterious statue

"Your Majesty, there may be something strange about this matter!"

An old man with white hair came over and said to Zhu Tianyang with a serious face.

Hearing this, Zhu Tianyang frowned slightly: "Long Wu, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, and don't beat around the bush with me."

Long Wu is the leader of the royal ghost masters and the most powerful one among the royal ghost masters.His cultivation has reached the peak of Saint Realm (Ghost Saint Realm), and even looking at the entire Endless Island, he is also a top ten master.

Facing Zhu Tianyang's scolding, Long Wu smiled wryly, and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say. However, before speaking, I hope that His Majesty can promise the old minister that no matter what the old minister says, His Majesty will not blame you."

Zhu Tianyang was slightly taken aback.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, just say it, I don't blame you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Long Wu felt reassured, pointed to the corpse on the ground, and said, "Your Majesty, you have also seen that the recent murders were all using weapons from the previous dynasty."

"and……"

"According to the observation of the veteran and other ghost masters, these wounds all have the same aura."

"That's ghost energy!"

"And it's extremely murderous!"

Haunted?

Hearing this, Zhu Tianyang was slightly taken aback: "You mean..."

"The ghost of the previous dynasty is active in the palace again?"

Why do you want to say it again?

That's because it's not the first time that the ghosts of the previous dynasty have appeared in the palace!

You must know that today's Daming Palace was built on the basis of the previous dynasty.

When Taizu broke through the capital, there were still many imperial guards in the palace.These imperial guards desperately guarded the imperial family and relatives of the previous dynasty, and it took a lot of effort for Taizu to kill them all.

It is said that that day...

Taizu killed more than 3000 imperial guards in total!

The blood stained the ground of the palace in blood!

Later, the country was established.

Taizu always had nightmares in the middle of the night. He often dreamed that some former soldiers were slashing at him wielding big knives.

then.

Taizu went to visit an expert to solve his doubts.

The expert didn't say anything, but just gave Taizu a design drawing of the palace.

And what is recorded on this design drawing is the later Daming Palace.

After Taizu rebuilt and refurbished the palace according to the design drawings, he never had any more nightmares.

Only later did he understand.

It turns out that the entire Daming Palace is actually a huge Feng Shui bureau.

The expert transformed the former imperial palace into a feng shui bureau capable of deterring ghosts, and naturally those ghosts were also suppressed.

only……

"The Feng Shui Bureau of the imperial palace has not had any problems since the founding of the country. How could there be problems suddenly?" Zhu Tianyang frowned, with doubts in his eyes.

"Could it be..."

"The Feng Shui Bureau has been destroyed?"

Zhu Tianyang said suspiciously.

Long Wu thought for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, I remember, when Taizu got the design drawing. That expert once presented two statues of Taizu as a gift, and asked Taizu to put these two statues in the palace. Among them, as the eyes of the Feng Shui Bureau..."

"I don't know if there is such a thing?"

Zhu Tianyang thought for a moment, then said: "There is indeed such a thing."

Those two statues are still stored in the Tai Chi Hall of the Imperial Palace.

There are special imperial guards guarding it.

Except for Zhu Tianyang, even the princes and grandchildren have no right to enter.

Long Wu clasped his fists and said: "The old minister is bold, please take the old minister to check these two statues!"

"As long as you can see these two statues, the old minister will be able to find out the root of the problem!"

Hearing this, Zhu Tianyang frowned immediately, and there was a tangled look in his eyes.

Those two statues.

It has always been a secret in the palace.

Taizu had a training, except for the emperor, no one is qualified to touch those two statues.

But now...

Long Wu said that he wanted to see the two statues.

Zhu Tianyang struggled for a moment, and finally nodded: "Forget it, since you want to see it, then come with me."

after all.

The successive homicides in the palace have seriously affected the majesty of the royal family.

As long as this matter can be resolved, it is impossible for Long Wu to have a look.

As for ancestral training...

At that time, he will personally apologize to the ancestors.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Long Wu quickly cupped his fists and thanked Zhu Tianyang.

Zhu Tianyang didn't say much.

Leading Long Wu and a team of Imperial Forest Army, they walked towards the Tai Chi Hall of the Imperial Palace.

The imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty is very large.

After the crowd walked for 10 minutes, they arrived outside the Tai Chi Hall.

Tai Chi Hall is located in the corner of the imperial palace, which is a side hall, so few people pass by it on weekdays.At this moment, there is no one in the entire hall except for the Imperial Forest Army who is in charge of guarding.

The whistling cold wind was blowing in the night sky, which made people's hair stand on end.

Some young princes even turned pale and looked around in horror.

In that dark corner, it seemed that something would pop out at any moment.

"See Your Majesty!"

Seeing Zhu Tianyang approaching, several imperial guards clasped their fists respectfully.

Zhu Tianyang waved his hand and said to the people behind him: "I want to enter the Tai Chi Hall with Long Wu, and everyone else is waiting outside the hall gate."

"Without my order, no one is allowed to enter the Tai Chi Hall."

"Yes!"

Hearing this, everyone nodded respectfully.

Subsequently.

Zhu Tianyang stretched out his hand, and under the curious gazes of everyone, he slowly pushed open the gate of Tai Chi Hall.

crunch---

With a soft sound, the gate of the Tai Chi Hall opened.

Zhu Tianyang and Long Wuyi walked in one after the other.

And at the moment when the gate was closed again, only the sound of "噗噗噗" suddenly sounded, and dozens of torches were suddenly lit up in the entire Tai Chi Hall.

The dim light of the fire illuminated the entire Tai Chi Hall.

Stone pillars carved with dragons, neat marble, and antique hall decorations...

Two statues tall enough to be human also appeared in the eyes of Zhu Tianyang and Long Wu.

"This……"

"This is……"

When seeing these two statues, Long Wu's face changed instantly, as if he saw something unbelievable, the pupils in his eyes shrank violently.

There are only two statues.

One black and one white.

The one on the left is all black, wearing a tall official hat, holding a black mourning stick and chains in his hand.

The one on the right is all white, also wearing a tall official hat, but holding a white mourning stick and chains in his hand.
