Turning her head slightly, the empress looked at Qin Yi and shouted firmly, "Qin Yi, you have full authority to handle this matter. Interrogate carefully and uncover all the poisonous beasts!"

Qin Yi immediately handed over his hand and said, "You will finally understand!"

After saying this, he turned around and strode towards the outside of the imperial study room.

Without thinking, I left the Imperial Study Room and before I had even walked ten steps, I heard a call, "General Qin, wait a moment!"

Qin Yi turned around in surprise and saw Wen Xiang chasing him out in a hurry.

When he came closer, Minister Wen said urgently, "General Qin, please be careful and don't implicate Guang too much!"

In an instant, Qin Yi understood the other party's little intention, which was that he was afraid that he would frame the civil servants.

At this time, it is entirely possible to arrest political opponents and charge them with complicity, thus eliminating dissident parties.

Without clarifying, Qin Yi nodded and said, "The general will know what to do, Lord Wen Xiang, don't worry."

After that, he turned and left.

…

Xu Shi understood the importance of this incident, so the empress assigned Qin Yi two hundred imperial spies, with the right to capture first and report later.

Therefore, Qin Yi sent dozens of imperial spies to go to the young eunuch's home and conduct a thorough search.

And he, with many imperial guards, went to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

In the execution room, Qin Yi had not yet been interrogated. The young eunuch, who was pale and full of despair, told everything in a hoarse voice in order not to be punished.

Six years ago, when the young eunuch and Wei Zhang were transporting waist badges together, they met a man named Ye Lu. In exchange for three hundred taels, he got the Wu Prime Minister's waist badge from them. After counterfeiting it, he returned the original one.

, and they passed it on to the Prime Minister.

Although he did not die unexpectedly after the incident, the young eunuch was very frightened and kept thinking of ways to save himself. It was not until a year ago that he found an opportunity to win the favor of Eunuch Zhan. He was quickly promoted and had the power to enter the warehouse, so he secretly altered the book.

Remove yourself.

A few days ago, Ye Lu, who had disappeared for a long time, found him again and said that even if he destroyed the evidence, he would not be able to escape the charge of counterfeiting his waist card, so he blackmailed him and asked him to spy on the goings-on in the palace.

The young eunuch was under threat and had no choice but to obey orders even if he didn't want to. However, in order to protect himself, he asked for a long time and finally learned the full plan from Ye Lu when he was drunk.

Ten days ago, Ye Lurang's subordinate pretended to be a coachman and was hired by an official. Then, a few days ago, when Marquis Dingjun held a banquet, he ordered the coachman to poison King Ning and put the poison under Qin Yi's table.

Immediately afterwards, when the coachman was not paying attention, he made him drink poisoned wine, creating the illusion of committing suicide by poisoning, and placed a counterfeit of Wu Xiang's waistband in the coachman's arms.

This is Ye Lu's overall plan. It seems simple, but it is filled with clever strokes. The identity of the coachman is the reason why no one can find the murderer no matter how hard they search.

Even if someone with a thoughtful mind and a sharp mind discovered the coachman, it would be better to directly drag the Prime Minister into the water.

However, due to the passage of time, the waistband that was counterfeited six years ago put Eucalyptus into a dead end.

Even if someone does find out six years ago, Ye Lu still has a back-up plan, which is to kill Wei Zhang before he is exposed.

As long as Wei Zhang is dead, there will be no trace left!

As for the young eunuch, because he had tampered with the book and cleared the suspicion, and he was very likely to become a high eunuch, his value was not low, so he was spared his life.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yi had just received the order and had not yet begun to investigate his identity. The young eunuch panicked and killed Wei Zhang on his own without Ye Lu's knowledge, leaving a huge loophole and becoming a breakthrough point for Yuzi.

.

Hearing this, Qin Yi secretly sighed, as expected, the results were exactly the same as those he had investigated all the way.

He looked at the two officials beside him. At this time, they were writing furiously, writing down everything the young eunuch said.

This confession will prove the innocence of Dingjunhou and his faction and the Prime Minister Wu!

Looking back, Qin Yi thought for a moment and asked in a deep voice, "Where does this Ye Lu live? Who is he? Does he have any accomplices?"

The young eunuch was disheartened and knew that he was going to die. He just wanted to avoid suffering before he died, so he didn't hide it and said hoarsely, "I don't know where Ye Lu lives. He comes to me every time..."

"I heard him talk about it... He is one of the top ten generals of the Chixin Sect, and his name seems to be Shadow General..."

"He had an accomplice, but he never told me. That night when he was drunk, I heard him say a few names. I didn't catch them clearly. I only heard the word Shangshu..."

Hearing this, Qin Yi's heart sank slightly.

The Shadow General of the Red Heart Sect...Shang Shu...

Unexpectedly, Chixinmen could hook up with the second-rank minister, which shows that his previous guess was right!

It’s not that Chixinmen bribed the high officials in the court, but that the high officials in the court were using Chixinmen!

So who is this minister?

Is he the mastermind behind the Chixin Sect?

While Qin Yi was deep in thought, an imperial spy guard Baihu walked in quickly and whispered, "General Qin, there is nothing suspicious found in this guy's house."

Qin Yi nodded when he heard this. He had expected this situation.

After he killed Wei Zhang, the young eunuch destroyed all the suspicious items in his house.

Then, Qin Yi asked a few more questions, which the young eunuch didn't know. Qin Yi understood that this person didn't know much. If he wanted to find out the worm in the court, he had to catch Ye Lu.

But the young eunuch didn't know where Ye Lu lived.

But this problem is not a problem for Qin Yi!

…

On the outskirts of Zhanjing, there is a farm.

In the house, a man wearing a bamboo hat and a green shirt carried a package and walked quickly towards the door.

He has a strong body and a very straight waist, which shows that he has extraordinary martial arts skills.

With a creak, the door opened. The man in green robe was about to step out, but he saw a man in white robe standing three meters outside the door.

In an instant, the man in green shirt's eyes tightened like beans, and he was slightly frightened, but he did not speak, nor did he stop screaming. He immediately raised his right hand, and a bright light flew out!

Immediately afterwards, the man in green robe turned around and ran towards the backyard, ignoring whether the man in white robe was dead or alive.

As he was running fast, he heard footsteps coming from behind, and the man in green shirt was shocked!

He already understood that he not only encountered an enemy, but also a difficult enemy!

In a very short distance and in a very short time, the flying knife he shot was actually dodged, which shows that the opponent's martial arts skills are excellent!

With his heart sinking slightly, the man in green shirt sped up and ran past like a cyan cheetah!

He is called Shadow General because he is good at running and assassinating.

His speed is amazing!

But the people behind him were not slow at all and kept pursuing him.

His heart became tighter and tighter, and the man in green clothes quickly jumped onto the courtyard wall, then followed the courtyard wall, jumped onto the roof, and ran quickly on many roofs.

But in an instant, footsteps came from behind again, like a shadow!

The man in the green shirt was horrified. In his fright, he broke the taboo of running and never looking back, and turned around to look.

There is nothing behind you!

In an instant, the man in the green shirt felt as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cellar!

He hurriedly turned around and saw a man in white robe standing leisurely in front of him. He chuckled and said, "Your flying knife is a bit weak."

Before he finished speaking, the eyes of the man in green shirt were filled with intense white light!

A sharp light that was as fast as a shadow appeared, and with a hiss, it penetrated into the thigh of the man in green shirt, so deep that the bones were visible!
Chapter completed!
