Chapter 627 Zuo Qianhu’s discovery and speculation
After sighing with emotion, Zuo Qianhu continued: "I have already seen the paper crane talisman you asked Xiaoqing to bring over. I didn't expect that you can actually use the paper crane talisman to record images. It is a lot more convenient."
Qin Shaoyou, unlike Cui Yougui, did not claim credit, and replied: "This is all the work of the Jade Emperor's Taoist Priest Guantu Huang."
"It turns out that he is Zhang Zhenren's disciple, no wonder he has such ability." Zuo Qianhu nodded, and then said with some regret: "The only pity is that the Paper Crane Talisman will turn into ashes after being used, so it cannot be used as physical evidence."
Qin Shaoyou responded: "That's why I brought the Spider Demon Lord here so that it can serve as a witness. If it doesn't cooperate, you can tell me your name and keep it obedient."
Zuo Qianhu was a little surprised when he heard this. He looked Qin Shaoyou up and down and asked, "What did you do to that Spider Demon Lord?"
"I didn't do anything. I just took a little bit of spider venom from it and did some small experiments with it on the way here..."
Zuo Qianhu frowned slightly and was skeptical of Qin Shaoyou's words.
If we just took a little bit of spider venom and did a little experiment, how could the Spider Demon Lord be frightened just by hearing his name?
However, Zuo Qianhu did not delve into this issue and just said: "We have many interrogation experts here. If they take action, they will definitely make the Spider Demon Lord cooperate obediently. There should be no need to use your name to scare it."
After a pause, Zuo Qianhu got down to business:
"Actually, after the Shuanggui Village case, I sent many close associates to secretly investigate the situation in the Prince of Shu's Mansion. During this period, I also found some clues, guessing that the Prince of Shu has a tendency to plot evil. This is just relevant evidence.
It’s not as direct as what you brought.”
When Qin Shaoyou heard this, he somewhat understood why Zuo Qianhu praised him as a lucky general as soon as he saw him.
Even he himself is doubting whether he is really blessed in this regard.
Wherever you go, there is the blessing of a case...
Zuo Qianhu didn't know what Qin Shaoyou was thinking, so he continued: "We have long determined that the prince in the Prince of Shu's palace is indeed a fake. The real prince of Shu is hidden under the ground of Shuanggui Village and was taken by us.
The destroyed corpse king!
As for the epidemic that the Spider Demon Lord mentioned, we have already found out about it. That happened two years ago. At that time, many people died in the Prince of Shu's palace, and even the crown prince fell seriously ill. I also talked with the chief envoy
, the prefect and others went to visit him together, but he was only received by the King of Shu and did not see the crown prince. He was said to be seriously ill and unable to see guests.
Later, the Prince of Shu announced that the prince's illness was cured, but since then, the prince rarely showed up. When he did appear in front of others, he would wear a hat, a veil, and someone to help hold an umbrella and curtain.
People from the Shu Palace explained that it was the sequelae of the epidemic that made the prince of Shu weak and intolerant to wind and cold.
But this also makes it impossible to get a closer look at the appearance of the Prince of Shu, and can only take a rough look from a distance.
But before that, even if everyone felt that the Prince of Shu was a little different from before, they would not think about the matter of a substitute.
Either they thought it was because they didn't see clearly, or they thought it was the result of a serious illness of the prince of Shu.
I have to say that the King of Shu found a very good excuse for the outbreak of the epidemic!"
Qin Shaoyou nodded, he thought so too.
Using the excuse of contracting the epidemic and falling seriously ill, even if the fake prince of Shu is different from the original owner in appearance, demeanor, voice or even personality, as long as it is not too serious, he can get away with it.
Gu Miao
Zuo Qianhu continued: "But there is one thing. The situation we found is somewhat different from what the spider demon master said."
Qin Shaoyou was curious and asked: "What is it?"
"The Spider Demon Lord said that the Prince of Shu took the elixir and accidentally turned into a zombie. But based on some clues we found, I'm afraid that's not the case!
During the investigation, my people discovered that the Shu Palace began to purchase wood and stone materials several years ago and sent them to Mianyuan County in batches..."
"Build an underground palace?"
Qin Shaoyou immediately thought of the possible uses of wood and stone materials.
Zuo Qianhu nodded and said: "That's what I judged too. But here comes the problem. If that batch of wood and stone materials were really used to build the underground palace, then at least a few years ago, the King of Shu knew that there were fusang under the ground in Shuanggui Village.
Ghost trees exist. Coincidentally, the Shu Palace stopped purchasing civil engineering materials after the outbreak of the epidemic two years ago..."
The little fox instantly understood what the old fox meant: "Master Qianhu suspected that the Crown Prince of Shu did not accidentally take the elixir and became a zombie, but was cultivated into a zombie premeditated and planned. Even people from the Shu King's line,
Do you still want to rely on the Fuso Ghost Tree to cultivate it into a demon or even a higher-level zombie, so that it can be a big help when you rebel?"
Zuo Qianhu said: "Based on the clues we have so far, I do have such suspicion."
After Qin Shaoyou pondered for a moment, he said: "Master Qianhu, I have two questions. First, the King of Shu should have other children, right? Why did he choose to raise the crown prince into a zombie? Second, if he raised a zombie, he would really be Shu.
This is something that Wang Yizhen deliberately planned, so how come we were not obstructed when we investigated this matter?"
Zuo Qianhu looked pleased: "It's good that you can think of these two problems. If it were Ye Zhiqiu and Xiaoqing, one would not think of it, and the other would not think of it."
After sighing for a while, Zuo Qianhu continued: "I have also thought about the two questions you raised. The King of Shu has more than a dozen children. Even if they are born to the princess, there are two sons and one daughter. It is said that there are indeed differences.
The candidate, but the final choice of the prince of Shu was probably related to talent and other factors. After all, what the king of Shu wanted was not an ordinary zombie, but a powerful flying zombie who could help him a lot in the rebellion.
, does not turn into bones.”
Although it seems weird to mention talents when it comes to becoming a zombie, when you think about it carefully, it's really not weird.
After all, in this world, so many people die every day, and only a handful of them can become zombies.
And even if they become zombies, most of them are just the lowest-level purple zombies and white zombies. Not only do they have no self-awareness, but they also move slowly, are afraid of light, fire, and many things.
Not to mention night watchmen, even ordinary people with a slightly stronger body and stronger yang energy, as long as they are not afraid, can use torches to knock them over, capture them, and send them to the stake.
So for the first question, it makes sense to use talent as an explanation.
Zuo Qianhu waited for Qin Shaoyou to finish digesting his words before continuing: "As for why you did not encounter any obstruction during the initial investigation, I guess there are two possibilities. One is that the people sent by the Shu Prince's Palace to Mianyuan County were lured
They went to other places. Secondly, they felt that there was a team of walking corpses inside and outside the underground palace. In addition, the zombie warlock and the corpse king who was about to become a demon were not weak. Even if someone found the underground of Shuanggui Village, they could only
It can become the nourishment for the growth of the Corpse King..."
After listening to Zuo Qianhu's analysis, Qin Shaoyou pondered for a moment and nodded slowly, feeling that both possibilities existed.
The Prince of Shu's Mansion probably sent people to guard Shuanggui Village, but because the Prince of Shu was about to become a tyrant, they were afraid of being affected by Chi Di Qianli, and the whereabouts of Lao Zhangtou and Zhang Xiaoni appeared, so they temporarily left Shuanggui Village.
In addition, the Corpse King plus the Fuso Ghost Tree are indeed very powerful and weird.
If it weren't for Ye Zhiqiu, Qin Shaoyou and the others who were very cautious and asked Zuo Qianhu, Xue Qingshan and others for help at the beginning of the operation, they might have become the nourishment of the Corpse King, and their souls would be enslaved by him and become part of his minions.
.
Immediately afterwards, Zuo Qianhu told some of the clues they had investigated. Combined with some of the information Qin Shaoyou had previously found, as well as the confession of the Spider Demon Lord, the various crimes of the King of Shu were completely confirmed.
So after Zuo Qianhu finished speaking, Qin Shaoyou asked very seriously: "Sir, what are you going to do next?"
