After the guard let her go, Su Zhen entered the courtyard without any hindrance.
This place is called the torture chamber, but it is a large pavilion. After opening the door, I saw a man in official uniform dozing on the desk.
Su Zhen coughed slightly, but the man didn't respond at all. She stepped forward and tapped the table with her index finger.
The man suddenly woke up and suddenly woke up. When he raised his head, there were many shadows in front of his eyes. He rubbed his eyes and recognized Su Zhen's identity.
"Su...Su Shaoqing? Why are you here?"
His face was covered with stubble, but his official uniform was washed clean and very neat.
Su Zhen raised the token in her hand and said, "Brother, could you please turn out the files on the case of Princess Jingyao being kidnapped by horse thieves in Shangde 29th Room?"
"What?" The officer opened his mouth wide and looked at her in surprise, "Su Shaoqing, those are all old cases."
"If it's not an old case, I can just go and inquire about it. Why bother to look through the files?" Seeing that he seemed to have something to hide, Su Zhen asked curiously, "What's going on?"
"Going back to Su Shaoqing, I had actually heard a little bit about the horse thief case back then. Princess Jingyao escaped from death after being robbed. It is said that she was quite courageous at a young age. After coming down from the mountain, she went straight to the local government office and took the officers and soldiers with her.
They went up the mountain from the trail and slaughtered the stronghold without leaving a single person alive. Later, the emperor ordered us to destroy the records of that case, so there is no file on this case at all."
"No!?" Su Zhen frowned more and more. She finally found some clues, is it about to be lost? "Then do you know anything else?"
"Actually, it's nothing. After all, it's not a glorious thing for the princess to be captured on the mountain. But I heard that the princess rescued a woman from the mountain and brought her into the palace."
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! You just said that the emperor ordered it to be destroyed. That means it was recorded. But where is the person who recorded this case?"
"The villain takes over from Lao Wang's team. He had been responsible for guarding the execution room before, but he died three years ago."
Dead?
Su Zhen suddenly felt that she had entered a dead end, all clues had been cut off, leaving her without a clue.
After leaving the execution room, Su Zhen returned to Yamen. Looking at her dejected look, Yu Changqing guessed that she must not have found any useful clues.
"You Ning, come here."
Su Zhen walked to Yu Changqing's desk and saw that the paper in front of him was filled with clues about Li Jieyu's disappearance.
Yu Changqing handed her the two porcelain dolls on the table, "One is Xiyan's and the other is made of dandelion. I have asked everyone to identify it. Xiyan's porcelain doll is made of the same material as this one."
After taking it, Su Zhen looked at it and her eyes lit up, "It's different. Xiyan's porcelain doll has Yin Qi on it. Although it's very thin, it does exist."
"Yin Qi?"
Su Zhen held two porcelain dolls, sat aside and carefully reviewed all the things that had happened recently. Suddenly she raised her head and said loudly, "I know!"
"Know what?"
Su Zhen forced the blood beads with her fingertips, put her fingers together, and the blood beads condensed into blood lines, and drew a spell out of thin air. The guiding spell fell on Dandelion's transformed porcelain doll, and the shrill female howl sounded in their ears, as if it could
Pierce the eardrum.
Su Zhen hurriedly set up a barrier to protect them. Fortunately, the appraisers had left before she came back, otherwise it would have been quite difficult.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, they saw the porcelain doll transform back into the dandelion known to the common people.
The dandelion was purple in color and was only the size of a palm at first, but it soon began to expand, as if it was about to explode. Su Zhen made complicated gestures with both hands, and a transparent beam of light flew towards the dandelion, wrapping it around it. The moment the dandelion exploded, it exploded a few breaths later.
, a few more porcelain dolls appeared in the light ball.
Strangely, there was a gray shadow floating behind the porcelain doll. Yu Changqing narrowed his eyes, remembering that he had been bitten by a gray shadow thrown out of Li Jieyu's porcelain doll.
A government official asked in shock, "Su Shaoqing, what is that?"
"Did they eat both Li Jieyu and Miss Xiyan?"
"I don't know either, but they are aggressive..." Su Zhen's voice suddenly turned around stiffly and looked at Yu Changqing, who also reacted, "Quick! Take back the weapons from the people's hands immediately.
Porcelain doll!”
"Yes, I'll go right away!"
All the government officials inside Yamen rushed outside. If it were too late, more people would be hurt.
The more little dandelions inside the light ball, the more they split into porcelain dolls. Together with those gray shadows, the light ball soon became full.
"Master Yu, please send someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion. I can only temporarily control them, but I can't eradicate them. I'll try to delay them as long as possible. Please go and invite Mr. Dongli here."
"I'm good at qinggong, let me go."
Jin Lian finally put aside his contempt for Su Zhen and left the Siwei Mansion Office using Qinggong.
A steady stream of spiritual energy poured out from Su Zhen's hand, keeping the ball of light moving and binding those things within it.
Although they are aggressive, they cannot cause harm to her. The problem is that they will split and regenerate indefinitely.
Yu Changqing watched cold sweat break out on Su Zhen's forehead. He stood aside, feeling annoyed and hating that he couldn't do magic.
A beam of soft milky white light suddenly entered Su Zhen's body, successfully reducing her burden.
She watched in surprise as a man wrapped in black entered the yamen. The mask on his face allowed her to clearly identify who he was.
She moved her lips and remembered that Yu Changqing was present, so she didn't call out Xiao Chuhong's name.
But she didn't expect that Xiao Chuhong also knew spiritual arts. Su Zhen felt a lot more at ease when she received the look he sent her.
Soon, Jin Lian brought Gu Yunshu to the Siwei Mansion Office. When he saw Xiao Chuhong was there, surprise and unknown emotions flashed in his eyes, but now was not the time to ask questions.
He stepped forward and looked at the gray shadows in the light ball barrier set by Su Zhen. He muttered a spell silently, and a silver-gray curved bow appeared in his hand.
Lifting the bow neatly, the spiritual energy in the right hand that was resting on the string surged out and turned into three arrows. A "whooshing" sound was heard in the air, and the arrows came out of the string and passed directly through Su Zhen's trap.
barrier, but it was not broken.
After a few sounds of "噌噌噌"", the arrow turned into silver-gray flames, directly burning the gray shadow inside completely, and there was no longer any infinite resurrection like before.
Su Zhen withdrew her spiritual power and gasped for breath, while the man in gray glanced at Su Zhen and Gu Yunshu and left the Siwei Mansion Office directly.
Yu Changqing stepped forward and saluted Gu Yunshu, "Thank you, Master Gu, for taking the initiative."
Gu Yunshu shook his head indifferently, "As a colleague, you should help me. Zhen'er, are you okay?"
Su Zhen adjusted her inner breath and replied, "Thank you for coming, otherwise I really don't know what to do."
"I have heard about what happened today." Gu Yunshu took out a few porcelain bottles from his arms and handed them to Yu Changqing, "Master Yu, you must find all the porcelain dolls as soon as possible and stack them together.
Mix these powders into water and pour them on them, and the gray shadows attached to the porcelain dolls will disappear."
"Master Gu, what are these?" This chapter has been completed!
