Zhao Xun was shocked when he learned that the palace maid died tragically in the Furong Garden Palace in Nancheng. He was even more impressed that he returned to the Bad Man's Yamen at the right time.
The bad handsome man Mr. Feng now intends to cultivate Zhao Xun, and all cases big and small are directly handed over to Zhao Xun.
If Feng Hao learns that Zhao Xun is not in the Yamen and sends someone to call Chengguo Duke's Mansion, it will not only be embarrassing for Zhao Xun, but also his father Zhao Yuan.
As a descendant of a noble family, you cannot let your temper run wild, because there are countless pairs of eyes staring at you, waiting for you to make a mistake.
In addition, Zhao Xun is now famous all over Chang'an City and has many famous people. Zhao Xun does not want to be targeted and bitten by the Yushi Yanguan at this juncture.
"Wangcai, Brother Jia, let's go to Furong Garden first."
No matter what, Zhao Xun felt that he should visit the scene of the crime first before making any judgment.
...
...
Although Furong Garden is located on the side of Qujiang Pool, it can be regarded as a royal forbidden garden, and the guards are extremely tight.
When Zhao Xun, Jia Xingwen, and Wang Cai arrived at the gate of Furong Garden, soldiers from the Forbidden Army immediately came forward to check their identities.
Zhao Xun and others took out the bad guy's badge and handed it over to the other party for inspection.
"The three of us are all bad people. When we learned that there was a murder in Furong Garden, we immediately came to investigate."
"It turns out they are bad people, please go in."
The Imperial Guards retreated one after another to make way for Zhao Xun and others.
Zhao Xun was not polite and walked towards the Furong Garden.
Jia Xingwen, Wangcai followed closely behind.
To be honest, this is Zhao Xun's first time entering the Furong Garden.
Although he is a top noble, he can't just go wherever he wants.
Furong Garden is a royal forbidden garden. It is difficult for ordinary clan members to enter. Only the royal family has the right to enter and exit at will.
Zhao Xun was somewhat surprised that a murder case would occur in such a place, and at this juncture of the capital's Jiedushi envoy banquet.
When the three of them arrived at the back of Hongde Palace, the old eunuch Wen Liang hurriedly came closer and said, "These must be the bad guys who came to investigate the case, right? The old slave is Wen Liang, the left-behind eunuch of this palace. Do you have anything to ask?
You can come and ask me."
Zhao Xun nodded and said: "Eunuch Wen, please take us to see the victims first."
"This way, please."
Wen Liang led the way and sighed as he walked: "It's strange to say that this palace maid's name is Yingchun. She is usually cautious and kind to others, but she was suddenly found dead in a well. Yingchun is a violent person.
There are traces of being torn apart by wild beasts all over his body. But this Furong Garden is not the Shanglin Garden in the north of Daming Palace. Where can there be so many wild beasts. This old slave is puzzled and I hope some people can clear up my confusion."
He took Zhao Xun and others to an ice cellar next to the main hall and opened the door.
"Eunuch Wen, what are we going to do in the ice cellar?"
Jia Xingwen asked with a frown.
"Yingchun's body is now resting in this ice cellar."
Wen Liang explained casually.
The three of them followed Wen Liang down to the ice cellar, only to feel very cold.
This is still the day when autumn and winter transition.
If it is summer, the contrast will only be more obvious.
I have to say that the royal family really knows how to enjoy themselves, and they have built such a large ice cellar.
Walking to the innermost part, the three of them saw a stone bed with a corpse lying on the stone bed, which was covered with a white cloth.
Although they were in the ice cellar, Zhao Xun and others could still smell a strong corpse odor.
Wangcai covered his nose and subconsciously wanted to step back.
Zhao Xun walked closer and lifted the white cloth.
I saw that the palace maid's flesh and blood had been chewed from her face to her feet, and in some places, she could directly see the white bones.
hiss.
Zhao Xun gasped instinctively.
It's so terrifying, the death of the Spring Festival is so terrifying.
"Eunuch Wen, when did you find out that Yingchun died tragically?"
"Early this morning, when the old slave was supervising his men to clean the palace, they received a report that a female body was found in the well in the garden. The old slave immediately went to check, and after confirming that someone had died tragically, he immediately reported it to the criminal yamen."
Zhao Xun nodded and said: "This is indeed not an ordinary beast biting you to death. I suspect that there is a demon sect monster sneaking into the palace."
"The demon sect monster..."
The old eunuch Wen Liang was so frightened that he staggered and almost fell.
"Are you kidding me? This is a forbidden palace for the royal family. How could monsters from the Demon Sect be mixed in?"
"Of course I won't talk nonsense. These are indeed the wounds bitten by the monsters of the Demon Sect. If I guess correctly, they are probably zombies or zombies."
Zhao Xun has personal experience fighting zombie bosses and zombie demons, and he knows both of these things very well.
He felt that his judgment would not be wrong.
"Go and ask the people from Qintian Prison to come over. They are good at detecting evil spirits."
There are specialties in the arts. Although bad guys are good at detecting, their judgment of monsters is obviously not as good as the old magic stick from Qin Tianjian who comes from the Taoist sect.
"good."
Wen Liang was shocked and nodded repeatedly.
...
...
About a moment later, Li Chunfeng arrived with his sword.
This is the advantage of high-level practitioners.
Zhao Xun's eyes were filled with envy. He wondered when he would be able to reach the point of flying with a sword.
Oh, no, he cultivated swordsmanship, so he will also be able to fly with swords in the future.
"Daozhang Li, we met again. I didn't expect you to come this time."
When Zhao Xun saw an acquaintance, he naturally came forward to say hello enthusiastically.
In any case, the relationship between him and Li Chunfeng is still good. If Li Chunfeng hadn't arrived at the tomb with his sword in time to help him last time, Zhao Xun and his party would have been in trouble.
Regardless of whether Li Chunfeng was interested in Yuan Tiangang or really liked Zhao Xun himself, Zhao Xun had to accept this favor.
Zhao Xun originally thought that Yuan Tiangang would not send this proud disciple here, but now it seems that his adoptive father takes this matter very seriously.
No matter this, Zhao Xun felt much more at ease with Li Chunfeng.
"Forget the polite words and take me to see the corpse."
Li Chunfeng was straightforward and did not mean to delay at all.
The group of people entered the ice cellar again and opened the white cloth.
"What a strong evil spirit."
Li Chunfeng frowned.
Taoist priests are best at subduing demons and demons, and they are also very good at detecting evil spirits.
Li Chunfeng judged that there was evil spirit here, and the stone hanging in Zhao Xun's heart fell to the ground.
Originally, he was worried that his judgment might be wrong, but now it seems that his judgment was right.
"There are people from the Demon Sect coming in and out here..."
Li Chunfeng said solemnly: "The North City is the Imperial City, and it is difficult for ordinary Demon Sect members to enter because the Imperial City has restrictions. But the South City is different. Although Furong Garden is a palace, there are no restrictions, so if the Demon Sect members really want to
It is possible to sneak into it. But why do people from the Demon Sect want to enter the Furong Garden?"
