"You wantonly trampled on her life because you didn't die. People like you can't go back to the underworld, otherwise the king of hell will sentence you to die." Qin Yuan condemned Princess Anping for being inhuman.

"How? The King of Hades can't do anything to me, so what are you guys?" Princess Anping snorted, and then said to Qin Yuan, "If you have the ability to kill me, then do it quickly, otherwise don't say these things to people Incomprehensible strange words!"

Princess Anping still didn't forget to add to Qin Yuan that she was already tired of living, if she could die, she would wish for it.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to kill me—"

"Can kill." Qin Yuan answered coldly, causing Princess Anping to choke on the second half of the sentence.

Qin Yuan's face was solemn and his attitude was determined, he didn't even bother to look at Princess Anping more.

This made Princess Anping feel unsure. She was stunned, panic flashed in her eyes, and an indescribable sense of fear suddenly spread throughout her body.When she knew she must be immortal, Princess Anping was naturally fearless about death.But at this moment, someone suddenly told her that she would die.How could she not panic, how could she not be afraid.

But soon Princess Anping calmed down her state of mind and sneered calmly.

"You're bluffing me."

"Am I bluffing you? You should know it. Think about why you sent someone to kill me. Isn't it because you think I'm unusual?" Qin Yuan told Princess Anping with a calm look that he really liked She is different, and has the ability to make her lose her mind.

The camouflage that Princess Anping had just built was crushed by Qin Yuan's rhetorical question.

"But I won't really kill you. It's not worth breaking my killing ring for someone like you." Qin Yuan looked at the soul-locking needle on Princess Anping's head again, "It's just that Ma Shi was wronged. To be spoiled by people like you."

"What do you want to do?" Princess Anping felt very bad, and looked at Qin Yuan excitedly and defensively.

Qin Yuan: "As long as the corpse is not destroyed, your soul will always be locked in the corpse. In the case of Hua Mudan last time, we were lucky to find some medicine to preserve the corpse, which can be used on you. You will always Living in a dead body, the body is dead and cannot move, but your soul is alive, you can perceive everything around you, but you cannot move.

I will bury Ma Shi's body in the most hidden underground, and let you live in a cold and dark place all year round, with loneliness as your companion.If you are lucky enough to be dug out after thousands of years, it is your luck.If you are unlucky enough not to be discovered, you will live like this forever and ever. "

Princess Anping widened her eyes to the extreme and screamed at Qin Yuan in horror.

"You can't do that!"

"You are the biggest messenger behind the scenes. In the final analysis, these cases were all related to you. Now you have such an end, but it is just a case of 'treating the other with the same way'. You shouldn't complain. .” Qin Yuan sighed.

"No! No way!" Princess Anping shook her head, "You might as well let me die!"

"I don't kill." Qin Yuan smiled kindly at Princess Anping.

"I beg you, don't do this to me! Don't do this to me!" Princess Anping held back her tears and begged Qin Yuan in a soft tone as much as possible.Completely without the madness of the past, Princess Anping at this moment looks like a very ordinary helpless and weak poor woman.

The memory of the people present is not bad. This person had cruelly planned to burn the entire Chang'an city with kerosene before, counting the lives of all of them.Among the people present, no one would have the slightest sympathy for her begging for mercy.

"This way of punishment couldn't be better. A villain like her should be tortured so much that she can't live or die!" Wen Yanbo almost applauded Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan waited silently for a moment, and seeing that Princess Anping did not deny or correct his words, he knew that his guess was right.Princess Anping may not have personally arranged and planned the implementation of each case, but it was precisely because she used Sui Fengyun to make Sui Fengyun secretly fuel the flames, and then used Wang Zhengde, that made the previous strange cases come true one by one. occur.These are chain reactions, which can also be regarded as butterfly effects, and the root cause lies in Princess Anping.

In despair, Princess Anping found that there was no room for change, so she was furious, struggling to rush towards Qin Yuan, but her body was held down.She also wanted to pull out the soul-locking needle on the top of her head, but she still couldn't move, her whole body was restrained tightly by the guards.The only thing Princess Anping could do was to gnash her teeth and stare out her eyes.

Princess Anping struggled until her face was distorted, which was very terrifying.

Seeing her restlessness, Changsun Wuji gave the guard a wink, ordered him to knock Princess Anping unconscious, and took her away.

"From what I can see, she can't get anything out of the interrogation, she looks like a lunatic." Changsun Wuji said.

Wen Yanbo sighed: "Even if you are not crazy, you will not be able to pass the trial." Even the princess of the subjugated country is still dignified and shameless, not to mention the extraordinarily strong temper of Princess Anping, out of the princess's self-esteem she would never give in.

"Then close the case?" Changsun Wuji looked at Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan tapped the table lightly with his fingers, pondering: "But how this oil storage pit was built, we don't know yet, and Taoist Aunt Miaoshan is still at large."

"Forget the details, you probably know the situation and understand what's going on. As for Miao Shan, she is wanted all over the country, and sooner or later I'll get her." Changsun Wuji was extremely tired, and he yawned repeatedly, lamenting that he hadn't been there for the past two days. Didn't sleep well, now that the case is over, he plans to go back to sleep first.

Before leaving, Changsun Wuji told Qin Yuan to call him and Wen Yanbo together when Dali Temple had summed up the whole case and prepared to report back to the saint.

Qin Yuan nodded, and told Wen Yanbo to go back to rest earlier.

Qin Yuan called all the personnel who were sent to investigate Jing'an Temple in Shangzhou to him, and asked them if they could find out the whereabouts of Taoist Miaoshan when they were investigating and searching Jing'an Temple.

All shook their heads.

"It's strange. If she escaped from Chang'an back then, she should have returned to Shangzhou to join Jing'an Temple, but Jing'an Temple didn't see her." Wang Zhen sighed, "Where did this Taoist priest Miaoshan escape to?"

"She is the only person who may know the whole process of Princess Anping's crime. How the fire oil pit outside Chang'an City was built, and who quietly transported such a large amount of fire oil there? It should be investigated." Qin Yuan said.

"But where should I find this Taoist nun Miaoshan now?" Wang Zhen asked Qin Yuan suspiciously.

"After Taoist Miaoshan escaped from Chang'an, we sent a few teams to search in all directions, but there was no news, and no one even saw her. How could people disappear completely without leaving a trace? I think that Taoist Miaoshan has no trace at all. He didn’t leave Chang’an City, so you couldn’t find out.”

Qin Yuan immediately mobilized all the people in Dali Temple to take the portrait of Taoist Miaoshan and wanted them in Chang'an City. Anyone who provided useful clues would be rewarded heavily.

The next day, Taoist nun Miaoshan, whom someone had seen in the alley of Yong'an Square, reported to Dali Temple.

At that time, Taoist nun Miaoshan was wearing a straw hat. She took off her hat to wipe her sweat, and was spotted by the reporter.The people who reported the case didn't realize it at the time, but the more he thought about it afterwards, the more he felt like it, and then he went to confirm the portrait, and after confirming that it was her, he hurried to Dali Temple to report.

"Did you see it in Yong'an Square?" Qin Yuan frowned.

Wang Zhen nodded: "Yes, she was still carrying a bag of snacks in her hand at the time, and she probably went out to buy food. This subordinate immediately sent someone to Yong'an Square to search every house."

"Wait." Qin Yuan stopped, "The person who reported the incident realized it after the fact, who knows about this matter? But the neighbors all know about it?"

Wang Zhen immediately went to confirm, and then ran back to report to Qin Yuan, "He only mentioned his suspicion to his wife at home, and the wife asked him to see the portrait. After he saw it, he immediately came here to report the crime, and he never told anyone else about it. After all, this is an important clue, if it is revealed and others know about it, wouldn’t he lose the bounty.”

Qin Yuan sighed, and ordered Wang Zhen to search after dark.Going to do it during the day is afraid that it will startle the snake.People are easy to catch, but they are afraid that they will be dead by the time they are caught.

Wang Zhen was very curious about why he wasn't arrested directly, but he didn't dare to ask further questions.He managed to stay until dark, and when the curfew in Chang'an City came, he immediately came to remind Qin Yuan and asked Qin Yuan how to search.

"Do you know where I used to live in Yong'an Square?"

Wang Zhen nodded.When Qin Siqing was an official earlier, he lived in a small house in Yonganfang.Wang Zhen once again sent word that he had been to Qin Yuan's residence.

Qin Yuan asked Wang Zhen to bring a group of people and quietly surrounded the house, and then quietly went to check if there was anyone in the house.

"Don't make too much noise, blow smoke into the room before entering." Qin Yuan instructed.

Qin Yuan was sitting in the carriage, waiting at the intersection leading to Yong'an Square.

After burning incense, Wang Zhen rode back on his horse. He jumped off the horse and rushed to Qin Yuan's carriage in two or three steps.

"Siqing is lucky, how do you know that Taoist nun is there? If you say this Taoist nun is so bold, she dares to hide in Qin Siqing's house!" Wang Zhen felt extremely surprised.

"It's dark under the lights, the most dangerous place is the safest. It just so happens that Sui Fengyun has also used this trick, and it must have been taught by Princess Anping."

Taoist Miaoshan is in a coma due to smoke inhalation.Qin Yuan ordered people to check Taoist Miaoshan's clothes, and immediately found a poison pill sewn on the inside of her cuff.The pill was a little hard, like a bead that was fastened to the sleeve by a thread.When you need to take it, you can bite the pill with your mouth and pull it hard to separate the pill from the thread and swallow it to commit suicide.

After Qin Yuan tore off the pill, he ordered people to tie up Taoist Miaoshan from head to toe.After returning, he ordered people to bathe and change Taoist Miaoshan to ensure that there was no possibility of hiding any poison on her body before Qin Yuan opened the court to interrogate Taoist Miaoshan.

Yachai poured a basin of water on Taoist Miaoshan's head.

Taoist Miaoshan choked on two mouthfuls of water, coughed and opened her eyes.She was about to get up, but suddenly found that her whole body was bound upright, making it very difficult to move.Taoist Miaoshan felt very strange, and then found that the environment she was in turned out to be the court of Dali Temple, and she saw a handsome face, it was Qin Yuan, the minister of Dali Temple, the person she should have poisoned to death.

Aunt Miaoshan's complexion changed drastically, she seemed to be desperate, she didn't bother to struggle, and let her body lie on the ground.

Immediately, the two yamen escorted Taoist Miaoshan up, and moved the rope tied around Taoist Miaoshan's legs twice, so that she could kneel on the ground.

"There was a fire outside Chang'an City, Princess Anping was arrested, why did you stay here and not escape?" Qin Yuan asked.

Aunt Miaoshan froze for a moment, not because of what Qin Yuan said, but because Qin Yuan called her 'Princess Anping' instead of 'Ma Shi'.This shows that Qin Yuan has seen through the true identity of her princess, so he must have seen through all these plots.

"I never thought of running away. I was born as the princess's person, and died as the princess' ghost." Taoist Miaoshan knew that she had no good results, her expression was determined, her tone was firm, and it was enough for Qin Yuan to just give her a happy one.

These are all expected by Qin Yuan.Since Taoist Aunt Miaoshan chose to stay in Chang'an City, she kept poison on her sleeve at all times, which showed that she was very determined to die.

"No wonder Princess Anping thinks highly of you and entrusts you with such a big matter as poisoning me to death." Qin Yuan lamented that Aunt Miaoshan was really a qualified death warrior.

Taoist Miaoshan snorted coldly: "I'm ashamed of the princess, I'm sorry for her entrustment, I failed to complete the task! I shouldn't use that useless Cai Yang, and I don't have to kill the even more useless Mei Ziyan. I should do it myself. Do it!"

After finishing speaking, Taoist Miaoshan stared back at Qin Yuan unkindly, as if she still wanted to plot Qin Yuan's life.

Taoist Miaoshan did have a good figure, with a slapped face, protruding forward and backward, with just the right amount of red lips, not too big or too small, with a beautiful and gentle appearance.Even when he's staring and angry, he looks good.

"Oh? Then how are you going to do something to me?" Qin Yuan looked at Miao Shan pretending to be interested.

Daoist Miaoshan: "Qin Siqing is not a womanizer, my ability is useless in front of Qin Siqing, I still have this self-knowledge. I can pretend to be weak, wait for the opportunity to get close to Qin Siqing, and then directly in Qin Temple A knife stabbed in Qing's chest, how crisp and neat it is!"

"Pretending to be weak is useful, who told me to be kind." Qin Yuan sighed boastfully, "You little Taoist nun is clever. If it weren't for your different standpoints, I would definitely like you."

"Qin Siqing just ask if you have anything to say, and you don't have to beat around the bush." ​​Taoist Miaoshan didn't take Qin Yuan's compliments at all. She had already heard about Qin Yuan's 'capability' from Mei Ziyan, and she knew Qin Yuan's sweet flattery. Be patient.

"I see that you respect your master very much, and you are willing to die with your master." Qin Yuan sighed, "But do you see your master die before you?"

Aunt Miaoshan sneered and said she didn't care.

Qin Yuan sent away the idlers in the house, and said to Aunt Miaoshan: "You are so confident, is it because you believe that your master will not die?"

Taoist Miaoshan suppressed the smile on her face for an instant, and looked at Qin Yuan in amazement.She didn't expect Qin Yuan to even see this.

"Who the hell are you and how do you know so much?"

"What's so strange about this? Others will naturally know what you can know." Qin Yuan said.

"Not everyone is familiar with the theory that Phoenix blood can make people reborn from nirvana. My princess got this treasure from a master of cultivation by chance. How did Qin Siqing know about it?" Miao Shan The Taoist nun asked Qin Yuan back.

"Books, it's good to read more. I suggest you read more in the future." Qin Yuan explained.

When Taoist Miaoshan heard Qin Yuan's words, she felt that he was deliberately mocking herself.She is dying, so how can she have any chance to study again.

Qin Yuan and Miao Shan emphasized: "Since I can see through your princess hiding in Ma Shi's body, and I also know that Phoenix blood can regenerate people, I have a way to make her princess disappear. This is also the benefit of reading more."

Taoist Miaoshan, who had always been silent and calm, suddenly became flustered when she heard Qin Yuan's words.

"No! You can't do this." Daoist Miaoshan stared at Qin Yuan and warned him not to act recklessly.

"How about we make a deal, you tell me how your princess committed the crime, and I promise you that your princess will not die." Qin Yuan suggested.

Taoist Miaoshan looked at Qin Yuan suspiciously, naturally she didn't believe Qin Yuan's words.She is very clear about what happened to her princess, and she does not believe that Qin Yuan will let the princess go.

"'Mashi' is going to die, but your princess can live." Qin Yuan added an explanation.

Miao Shan understands that Qin Yuan's death refers to Ma Shi's death, and the princess's soul can live on.

"Why should I believe you? There is no way to prove this kind of thing. You can lie to me."

"My promise must be fulfilled, you can believe it or not." Qin Yuan reminded the Taoist nun, "It depends on your own judgment and thoughts, and how you plan to honor your master. Now the case It has been concluded that whether you tell the specific details of the crime or not will not affect your trial at all. I just want to write the whole case clearly so that His Majesty can see it smoothly, and I also want to find an excuse for myself not to kill , will give you such a chance."

"I still don't believe that you would let my master go so kindly." Aunt Miao Shan still suspiciously suspected Qin Yuan.

"Of course I won't let her go. If I don't kill her, it doesn't mean I won't punish her. I will lock it in Ma Shi's body with a soul-locking needle and bury her in the ground. One day, her grave will be buried by someone Only when a destined person digs it out, she may have a chance to be resurrected." Qin Yuan explained.

"You are so vicious, how dare you put my princess under house arrest like this." Aunt Miao Shan gritted her teeth and swore that even if she was a ghost, she would not let Qin Yuan go.

"Although I have experienced pain, your princess is still alive, and she is not lost. A little hope is also hope. After all, there is no fear of no firewood for the green hills. I kindly provide you with a solution, but you don't thank me, but instead Come here and scold me. This is really hard to be a good person!"

Qin Yuan immediately ordered people to take Miao Shanyi back to the Taoist nun, there was no need to ask anymore.

"I promise you!" Taoist Miaoshan hurriedly said, "I will trust you just once."

Taoist Miaoshan then explained to Qin Yuan the origin of the oil pit and drainage pipes.

"The oil pit was built there last year by Chen Shanze, a doctor of the Ministry of Water, and set up a mechanism. The princess started to prepare for this after she got the news that there was fierce fire oil in Longzhou. Chen Shanze is a doctor of the Ministry of Water, and there is Guan Hai, the minister of the Ministry of Industry. It should be noted that no one in the Ministry of Industry will take care of him. If he wants to secretly lead people to do things secretly, it is actually not difficult. Because there are many fortifications in the Ministry of Industry that need to be kept secret. For example, at the request of many royal relatives, building secret rooms, Cemetery or something.

Those envoys in the Ministry of Industry knew how to keep their mouths shut. As long as Chen Shanze asked to keep it secret, they would treat it as a secret fortification of the imperial court and would not ask any more questions.Finally, when the fortifications were finished, Chen Shanze found an excuse to send these envoys to other places far away. After a long time, no one mentioned it, so it was considered as a secret. "

"Where is the fierce oil? He also used the same method to transport it outside Chang'an City?" Qin Yuan asked again.

"It's almost the same, but Chen Shanze poisoned the people who transported the oil, and their bodies were buried in a small forest ten miles west of the oil pit."

After Taoist Miaoshan finished her brief explanation, she asked Qin Yuan if he had any questions.If not, please keep her promise and let her princess go.Although the princess is locked in the corpse like this, she may be alone for a hundred years or even a thousand years, but as long as she is alive, there is hope.

Taoist Miaoshan believes that sooner or later her princess will see the sun again.At that time, it will be the time for her princess to make a comeback.

"Naturally, I will keep my promise." Of course, Qin Yuan would not give Princess Anping a chance to make a comeback, he just let her suffer first.By the time she sees the sun again, he will have already become a god, and there are many ways to deal with Princess Anping at that time, in short, it is absolutely impossible to take advantage of her.

After the obsessive-compulsive disorder Qin Yuan had perfectly stated the whole case in the memorial, he stretched himself and ordered people to prepare hot water, take a bath, and eat sugar cane.Eat full, sleep sweetly, wake up the next morning refreshed.

The next day, Liangyi Hall.

Qin Yuan, Changsun Wuji and Wen Yanbo came out and explained the whole case to Li Shimin.Li Shimin listened to the tortuous, complicated and thrilling passage, frowned, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and looked at the three of them, especially Qin Yuan, with admiration in his eyes.

"Wuji had already explained the situation of the case to the widow the day before, and the widow asked him two questions. He really only knew one of them and didn't know the other, and he didn't understand the cause of it. Seeing your memorial today, it's very face-to-face. He said it in detail, and solved all the doubts in everyone's mind." Li Shimin praised Qin Yuan as a rare case-solving wizard, and now it is because of his keen insight that the entire Chang'an City can be preserved.

Fang Xuanling and other ministers were also sighing with emotion.

"Thinking about it now, I still think it's dangerous and scary. That day there was a sudden explosion outside Chang'an City. I felt it at home. The ground was trembling, and there was a burning light in the southeast. After seeing the flames in half the sky, I was a little flustered. Later, I learned that it was Qin Shaoqing who stopped the thief's plot in time and saved everyone in Chang'an City from a fire. I was really relieved." Fang Xuanling said.

"That's right. If this virtuous minister hadn't assisted His Majesty to eliminate the danger, I'm afraid there would be no Tang Dynasty after that day." Wei Zheng echoed Fang Xuanling's words, repeatedly praising Qin Yuan's great contribution this time, which should be given award.

As soon as Qin Yuan heard the word "reward", he immediately turned his head and gave Changsun Wuji a wink, signaling him to come too, and took the opportunity to help him get a first-rank Hou Dangdang.In this way, his road to becoming an official has come to an end, and he will never have to eat farm food again.Maybe this fairy's body can also recover, and he can go to heaven happily.

Li Shimin nodded, seeming to agree with Wei Zheng.

"The matter of rewarding Qin Yuan, I think it should be done slowly." Changsun Wuji immediately stopped him.

Qin Yuan looked at Changsun Wuji in disbelief, seeing him return his provocative look, Qin Yuan guessed that this guy was deliberately taking revenge on him.

Qin Yuan immediately said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, I recommend myself, and I can afford the favor of a first-rank Marquis."
