Black Lotus Concubine's Case-solving Notes

"You clearly knew that I was the one who killed all those people, but that night in the side hall in front of everyone, you pushed everything onto Shen Shi. Why?"

"I said, we are allies." Feng Jia curled the corners of his lips slightly.

Song Huai was stunned for a moment, then his tightly knitted brows relaxed and he said sincerely, "Thank you."

A line of blue words suddenly appeared in front of me.

[Obtained 1 card draw, do you want to draw now? ]

Feng Jia nodded [Yes].

Four cards appeared in front of him, and Feng Jia chose the one on the far right.

The four cards disappeared at the same time, and were replaced by a small arrow added to the item bar.

……

"for you."

Feng Jia came back to her senses and looked at the booklet that Song Huai handed to her.

"Is this what I stole from Shin Shi?"

Song Huai nodded.

Feng Jia opened the booklet, scanned a few pages, and immediately a solemn look appeared on his face. This was not the scripture that Shen Shi was talking about!

But it is the biggest secret of Taiping Sect!

Song Huai said, "It contains the formula and production method of the Brain Pill, as well as the strange and terrifying witchcraft practiced by the Taiping Sect. Back then, the leader Xun Liao used this method to control the followers. This booklet is also called the Heavenly Scripture by the followers!"

After a pause, Song Huai sighed slightly, also looking unexpected: "The Heavenly Scripture disappeared with the collapse of Changming Palace ten years ago. Unexpectedly, it is in Shen Shi's hands!"

The wind blew in through the gap in the window, making the candles in the room flicker. The room was quiet. Feng Jia didn't say anything, but lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

Song Huai couldn't help but say, "It is said that whoever obtains the Heavenly Scripture will rule the world..."

Feng Jia smiled at this moment, but it was a little cold: "He who gets the heavenly scripture gets the world? It's just a demon in the hearts of the people."

Feng Jia stood up, walked to the window, looked at the busy traffic outside, and said slowly: "The Heavenly Scripture was originally in Xunliao's hands, but he was pulled down from the throne of Changming Palace by his own followers and beheaded in public. Later, it came into Shenshi's hands, so what? Wasn't he trapped in that small Cheng'en Temple for ten years? In the end, his throat was cut with a knife, and there was not even a grave."

She looked up at the foggy sky and said, "I think this so-called scripture does not bring good luck to people. It only brings endless desires and endless disasters!"

Feng Jia walked to the candle and ignited the Heavenly Scripture. The fire snake licked it. In the firelight, there was no emotion in her black and white eyes. It seemed that what she held in her hand was not the cult treasure that she had fought for in the martial arts world, but just a piece of ordinary paper that could not be more ordinary.

Song Huai opened his eyes wide in surprise: "You...why did you burn it?"

"What's the point of keeping something like this that can cause great harm to people?" The Heavenly Scripture was burned out, leaving only a table full of black ashes. Feng Jia clapped his hands and smiled indifferently.

"This is a treasure that can control people's hearts, aren't you tempted at all?" Song Huai walked over with regret on his face and picked up the black ash on the table, but it was already useless. He couldn't spell out a single word and could only sigh.

"Control people's hearts?" Feng Jia shook her head. "All I've seen are wives and children being torn apart, families being torn apart, fathers and sons killing each other because of the Brain God Pill, and even sons and wives being killed. Aren't there enough cases?"

Song Huai was stunned for a moment, then half lowered his eyes: "Whatever, it's already burned, there's no point in saying any more."

Perhaps because of the mental tension in recent days, Feng Jia had a rare dreamless night. When it was daybreak, Xie Haoxuan sent someone to tell her that her reasoning was correct. Under the thousand-year-old red cattail tree in Cheng'en Temple, they did dig out sixteen skeletons. After examination, the coroner found that they died ten years ago. They were the real ascetic monks, the souls killed by the gang of robbers.

The news spread quickly. By the time Xie Haoxuan went to the residence of the Minister of Revenue to arrest the person, Zhao Qing, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, and her maid Zi Yi had already left a letter of confession and both committed suicide by taking poison.

In the confession letter, the two confessed to their crimes.

Since then, this appalling "Buddhist punishment case" has finally come to an end.

"Have you heard that the bizarre case in Cheng'en Temple was solved by our Ninth Miss! Moreover, the Princess of Nancheng gave birth to a child in the temple. If it weren't for the Ninth Miss who remained calm in the face of danger, the Princess of Nancheng and the child would have been in great danger!"

"I heard it! The Princess of Nancheng even made a promise to Miss Nine in public, saying that she would ask the emperor to grant her the title of a county lady! A county lady is a fifth-rank official! She receives a salary from the imperial court!"

"I said I have a good eye for people, right? I've seen it long ago. This Ninth Miss is a rare talent! Look, she can be named a county lady today, and maybe she can be named a county mistress tomorrow!"

In the kitchen of the Xie Mansion, several servants were arguing. One of them looked puzzled and asked, "But I just came from the street. How come I heard that the one who solved the case was Miss Shubai? The one who solved the case was Princess Nancheng and the young prince, and also our fourth lady?"

"Fourth Miss? How is that possible! It's obviously the Ninth Miss!"

"The news has spread all over the capital! It's about our Fourth Young Lady!" The man looked at the sky and said, "By now, I'm afraid the imperial edict for the canonization has already reached our Fourth Young Lady's room!"

In the front yard, people from the Xie residence were kneeling all over the yard, and the one kneeling at the front was Xie Shubai, from the eldest wife of the Xie family.

The eunuch grabbed the bright yellow imperial edict and read, "By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor declares that the fourth young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion has unraveled the case of Cheng'en Temple and found the real culprit. She also saved the fetus for the Princess of Nancheng. She remained calm in the face of great events and kept her composure in the face of dangers. She is as wise and brave as any man. I now confer you the title of Princess of Yong'an County and grant you a thousand taels of gold as a reward. I decree this!"

The eunuch handed over the imperial edict with a smile: "Lord Yong'an, please accept the edict!"
