Nongmen Shenjue

Once Liu Sheng's body was discovered, the most influential person was naturally Prince Su.

Prince Su was exempted from the responsibility of supervising the country, locked in the mansion and not allowed to go out, and was guarded by the imperial army, which was equivalent to house arrest.The result of this disposition was rather lenient. Obviously, the emperor wanted to wait for the final result before deciding the fate of Prince Su.Even so, the situation is very unfavorable for Prince Su.

As mentioned earlier, Prince Su was very low-key in the past, and he didn't go out to make contacts, so naturally he didn't have many confidantes.Later, he won the power of supervising the country and was promoted to the title of title. Although many people approached him, it was getting worse in the end.Those people are all smart, not to mention such a big matter as standing in line, they consider their investment carefully, and want to back down if something is wrong.

Most of them waited and watched, after all, there was a strong Xianjun king fighting in the ring, and now this kind of thing happened again, making Prince Su's earlier advantage disappear.

Even though many people were suspicious of King Xianjun's plans, there was no evidence, but they admired his methods instead.

Of course, the God Detective Division didn't stop there.

Wen Mingyu is leading people to track down the fake Liu Sheng.

When leaving Xiaoyangzhuang that day, Mu Qingyan pointed out the direction for Wen Mingyu.He just traced back the directions of the fake Liu Sheng and the three who left Xiaoyangzhuang, and combined with the few words of the three people, they deduced that they were going to report and communicate after completing the task.If Wen Mingyu is lucky, maybe he can gain something.

People leave their names, and geese leave their voices.

It is difficult for others, but for the God Detective Division, as long as the investment is sufficient, it is not difficult to obtain some clues.

Mu Qingyan stayed in the capital, looking a bit leisurely.

The time limit given by the emperor was one month. Although he was not fully sure to find out what was behind the scenes, he was not in a hurry.According to the current situation in the capital, there are many variables in one month.Furthermore, he had to wait for Wen Jixue.

Wen Jixue left, but he was involved in the case. Wen Jixue will find out soon.

Thinking about it, he should return in a day or two at the latest, even if he didn't make an agreement with Zhu Yi.

Now that Prince Su is in prison, it is the best time to make a deal.

How do you know that the situation is changing faster than expected.

Wen Mingyu spent two days there, and finally tracked down the whereabouts of the three fake Liu Sheng, and found the place where the three might have stayed.Because there was nothing else to gain, I searched that place carefully several times, and found a few drops of blood that had dried up and darkened on the grass blades, and immediately had a bad idea about the whereabouts of the fake Liu Sheng and the three of them. guess.

The fake Liu Sheng is indeed a key pawn in the layout of Prince Su's mansion, but the plan has been completed, the real Liu Sheng is dead, and the fake Liu Sheng not only has no need to exist, but also continues to live. Once exposed, it is the best way to absolve Prince Su. .According to the thoughts of the behind-the-scenes, naturally the fake Liu Sheng cannot be allowed to spoil the situation, so he will undoubtedly die.

Only the dead are the safest.

Of course, this is just speculation, and the body of the fake Liu Sheng has not yet been found.

However, there were loopholes, Wen Mingyu increased his manpower, thinking that if he spent a little more effort, it would bear fruit.After all, the capital city is an important place for the capital, under the foot of the emperor, and the surrounding area has always been heavily guarded and controlled by the household registration system. Whenever a stranger appears, it must be very eye-catching.

No matter what people want to eat and drink, in this way, the deeds cannot be concealed to be perfect.

During the day, Wen Mingyu came to Mu Qingyan, talked about the progress, and agreed to search together the next day.

Mu Qingyan also received a reply from Wen Jixue, saying that he would be able to return to the capital the day after tomorrow at the latest.

Early the next morning, Wen Mingyu arrived as scheduled, but told him a piece of news.

"There was a change in the inner palace last night. The empress suddenly fainted. The imperial doctor said it was poisoning. Although the empress survived, her body was damaged, her vitality was seriously injured, and the residual poison was not cleared. She couldn't get out of bed."

"Poisoned?" Poison again!

"The queen has been in poor health recently, often dizzy, trance, sleepy, and weak, but because of the complicated affairs in the palace, the emperor was seriously ill, so I thought it was because of being too tired. Besides, the imperial doctor didn't see anything , I only advised the queen to take care of herself and not to be tired. How did she know that during dinner last night, the queen felt dizzy again, and fell down in a short time. This time the imperial doctor saw the clue, but it was a bit late. The poison is still unknown Where did it come from, it should be accumulated over time, sinking inside the body, before it was induced but not released, and when it accumulated a lot, it was suddenly pulled and burst out... It is a fluke that the empress was able to save her life."

Mu Qingyan suddenly realized that someone had secretly arranged for the empress to come into contact with the poison all day without knowing it.

This is also because everyone's attention is on the emperor. The capital is chaotic and the empress has no children. Who would have thought that someone would want to attack the empress.

This news was really unexpected.

"Such a big matter, the God Detective Division doesn't care?" Mu Qingyan asked.

"The closed Tianshu Department is under investigation."

Mu Qingyan just listened and didn't express any opinions.

In fact, he was thinking about this matter in his heart: poisoning the queen, why?

As is clear to the outside world, the queen is the successor, has no children, only one daughter, and is still young.The Wei family where the queen belongs, in order to avoid getting involved in the chaos of seizing the heir, shrinks the tribe, reduces entertainment, and reduces the sense of existence, and it is quite effective.

The Wei family is a big family, and there are officials, but there are no important people.

When mentioning the Wei family, the first reaction is the queen from the Wei family, and this queen is also the most powerful person in the Wei family.Empress Wei and the Wei family complement each other, and the empress is firmly seated in the harem without the support of the Wei family.The interests of the Wei family also depend on the protection of the Queen.

If you kill the queen...

The idea of ​​solving a case is to kill a person, and naturally find the beneficiary.

If the queen is gone, the court will naturally be in turmoil, but the most direct thing is that the harem has no owner, and someone must take the responsibility of the queen.This is like the emperor having no way to go to court to handle government affairs, and someone must supervise the country on his behalf. The country cannot be without a master for a day, and naturally the harem cannot be without a master.

Are you here for the position of queen?

Using poison, this method is too rough in the harem, and it is not the first choice of smart people.

However, one thing is certain, the harem originally ruled by a queen is bound to be undercurrents now, just like the previous dynasty, if no one presides over the overall situation, it will collapse and chaos sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Mu Qingyan asked: "According to Young Master Wen's opinion, who in the harem will temporarily take over the affairs of the palace?"

Wen Mingyu naturally understood what he meant, although it was sensitive to talk about it, but the two of them were investigating a big case, and the court and harem were closely related, so it was nothing to talk about in private.

"If there is no change, it will be Concubine Hui."

Mu Qingyan smiled lightly: "It's really amazing, it depends on the emperor."

The hierarchy of the harem is clear, without the empress, the concubine is below. Due to special reasons, there are five people in total.As I analyzed earlier, the most favored among these five people is of course the younger Concubine Li, and the one with the most seniority and strong family background is Concubine Hui.

Concubine Gong was originally low-key and indifferent, and her son Zhuang Junwang died again. She was too young to be stimulated by this and fell ill.

Concubine Wen's son, Prince Duan, was still in confinement due to the incident in Feixian Town.Concubine Wen was his mother, so she was naturally affected, and her status was not lowered, but good things did not happen to her.

Concubine Shun is the weakest of the four concubines. She obeys the emperor in everything. Her son, King Ke, was implicated by the Yue family earlier, and compared with other kings, his ability and influence are weaker.

There is no need to mention the concubines below. At this time, it is impossible for the emperor to raise people from the concubines.What's more, if you jump up suddenly, if you don't mention the ability to handle things, you can't hold down others.

As a result, a discerning person will know who will be entrusted with important tasks at a glance.

Because of this, Concubine Hui is also the most suspicious person regarding the Queen.

If you want to find evidence to convict someone, it will not be done in a day or two.Right now, the emperor can't manage the affairs, so the former court has to be handed over to the county king and ministers, and the queen in the harem can't be the director, so naturally it has to be handed over to others.

When the emperor's decision is made, one can get a glimpse of his intentions.

At that time, what is ushering in may not be calm, but may also be bigger waves.

"Master Mu, can you have breakfast?" Wen Mingyu asked.

"It's already been used, it's getting late, Young Master Wen will lead the way." Mu Qingyan naturally didn't forget the purpose of Wen Mingyu's visit.

Wen Mingyu nodded, there were already horses waiting outside the door.

The two rode out of the city, all the way west.

Earlier, Wen Mingyu followed the direction Mu Qingyan pointed, and searched westward after leaving Xiaoyangzhuang.In view of the special nature of the fake Liu Sheng, the behind-the-scenes will definitely order someone to hide. Since he didn't enter the city, he would hide in a remote place with no one.Wen Mingyu dispatched a large number of people to visit nearby villages and sift through the surrounding mountains and forests.

Those three people moved cautiously, they were not seen by anyone, but there were traces of their existence, even though they were hiding in the deep mountains.

A hunter in a village reported a situation. One day when he went hunting in the mountains, he saw a wisp of cooking smoke floating in the deep mountains.Orion didn't take it to heart at all, and it was also the visit of the God Detective Division, who repeatedly emphasized that any abnormality, no matter how small, should not be concealed.

Orion just said it in passing, because even if someone in the village goes into the deep mountains, they usually bring dry food and will not light a fire in the deep mountains.What's more, it was daytime, even if you were really trapped in the mountains and couldn't make it back, you would use fire at night.

The God Detective Division asked for the direction, and went all the way to find it.

Near a stream, traces of a campfire were found, but no one was there.In the grass not far from the bonfire, a few drops of blood were found.

Wen Mingyu guessed that the fake Liu Sheng had been silenced, but the body was hard to find.

It stands to reason that since there is blood by the stream, the person should have died here, and the corpse should be disposed of nearby.The stream is very shallow and cannot hide the corpse.The use of fire in the mountains is too obvious and not advisable.Only digging a hole and burying it with soil is the most convenient and safest way.

Taking the bonfire as the origin, I searched the surrounding area inch by inch, but found no trace of the soil layer being turned over.

This is also the reason why Wen Mingyu came to look for Mu Qingyan.

It took half an hour on the way into the mountain, and this is still the case that the group of people is not slow.Now Mu Qingyan's mental skills are well practiced, and his body has been nourished by supernatural powers for three years, so although he looks weak, he is actually full of energy and blood, and his physical strength is strong, but once he uses his supernatural powers, the exhaustion of his mind will also affect his physical strength.

Along the way, Mu Qingyan was still thinking about the behind-the-scenes.

Although it has not been announced, Mu Qingyan, who is behind everything, has been locked on the aide of King Xianjun.He poisoned King Zhuangjun outside, tripped Prince Su, poisoned the Queen inside, and gained power in the harem.If their methods were a little more relaxed, instead of using poison, it would really be admirable.

The poison was used to achieve their goal, and they did arrange it so exquisitely that even the God Detective Division couldn't quickly detect it.But from Mu Qingyan's point of view, the mother and son were still impatient, as if they were...like jumping over the wall in a hurry and trying their best.

The atmosphere in the capital became more gloomy, and even the excitement on the streets was a little less.

The storm is coming.

I hope Wen Jixue can make it in time.
