Recently, people in the palace have committed suicide every day.
Coupled with the howling of ghosts and wolves all night long, everyone in the palace was in danger.
It made people panic.
The ghostly screams were caused by the zombie empress causing trouble in the harem, which made many people think that the palace was haunted.
I don't know since when, whenever night comes, people don't dare to go to the hut alone.
Fortunately, this zombie empress was killed by Jiang Xiaoyu.
The weird screams stopped.
But things didn't end like this.
Every night, someone still "commits suicide" in the palace.
The palace is heavily guarded, but murders always happen, so I still blame the 'ghosts' for everything.
The situation is different from Shuiyunxuan.
The people who died in the palace were all small people like palace maids and eunuchs.
There are even many people who can't even be called by their names.
And every person who died looked like a suicide.
Therefore, no one in the imperial court cared about the life and death of these people in the palace.
Because they were more concerned about what happened to Shui Yunxuan, they kept focusing on Shui Yunxuan.
Some bored people even started betting to predict who would be killed next just to watch the fun.
That is to say, Shui Yunxuan's family background is deep, so it can continue to operate.
Unexpectedly, after Pan Yue died, Liu Qincao finally couldn't stand it and continued like this.
Due to pressure from the Prime Minister's Office, Shuiyunxuan finally closed its doors.
Everyone wanted to know how Pan Guoan would deal with Liu Qincao next, but who knew that he would just close Shuiyunxuan.
Mu Cangkong took Liu Qincao to Jiang Xiaoyu to discuss how to deal with Pan Guoan.
Wu Haojun originally wanted to go to Jiang Xiaoyu, but after learning about many situations in the palace, he decided to talk to the maids and eunuchs first.
After a conversation, Wu Haojun immediately realized that while the murder occurred in Shui Yunxuan, people were also dying in the palace.
From this point of view, compared to Shui Yunxuan, these people who died in the palace are more important!
Wu Haojun first found the chatty little eunuch from before, then the one-armed general, and finally several palace maids and eunuchs.
"Xiaoyue was washing clothes, but suddenly, as if she was possessed by something evil, she picked up the scissors on the ground and cut her own throat."
"Little Plum was walking alone by the river, but suddenly she couldn't think about it and jumped into the river!"
"It's true. I saw it with my own eyes. Xiao Shunzi committed suicide in front of me. It was so scary!"
"It's a clash of evil spirits, it must be a clash of evil spirits!"
"Every night at this time in the palace, ghosts cry and howl. Some people say that ghosts from the underworld come to seduce the souls! Huh? Why is there no movement today?"
"With so many people committing suicide, there must be something evil in the palace! Oh, please don't tell others that I said it..."
"There must be something unclean in the palace. Even the masters in the palace can't help. We have to invite a few Taoist monks to do it!"
After a series of investigations and cross-examinations.
Wu Haojun soon realized that the people who died in the palace in the past few days were not suicides at all.
All were murdered.
Before they died, each of them behaved very normally, not like a dying person at all.
There is no reason to commit suicide.
From the mouths of the palace maids and eunuchs, we learned that the murderer could not only become invisible, but also change his appearance and hide his aura.
When the one-armed general was patrolling, he also spotted a vague figure many times, but he escaped every time.
The murderer probably killed the victim directly when he was defenseless, and then in the eyes of others, it was thought to be a suicide scene.
As for the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling.
Just by listening to the descriptions of those people, Wu Haojun knew that the thing must have been made by Empress Yinyue in the harem.
Ever since this empress was turned into a zombie, she has been hiding in the harem.

come out.
Wu Haojun originally wanted to deal with this zombie empress first, but he was tripped up by Shui Yunxuan's case.
I didn't hear the ghostly screams of zombies tonight. If the monster is either dead or has gone elsewhere to harm people.
In fact, this zombie empress is very pitiful. When she was alive, she was very kind to the palace maids and eunuchs around her.
She has never harmed anyone since she turned into a zombie. Instead, she has been hiding in the harem and catching a few small animals to eat every day.
Regarding the zombie empress, Wu Haojun could only find out so much.
Little did he know that the zombie empress had already been subdued by Jiang Xiaoyu.
Knowing that nothing happened in the harem, Wu Haojun still focused on other things.
The commotion in Shuiyunxuan was so great that members of the four major families, as well as Prince Ji's two sons, all died there.
Liu Qincao, the proprietress of Shuiyunxuan, was pushed to the forefront because of this incident.
If she hadn't had a background in the imperial capital, she might have been assassinated long ago.
Liu Qincao was the most beautiful woman in the imperial capital, so everyone's attention was naturally on Shui Yunxuan.
In this way, no one cares about the life and death of a few eunuchs and palace maids.
After Wu Haojun investigated, he quickly discovered that these eunuchs and maids happened to be serving the emperor in his daily life.
The real Human Emperor is not in the imperial capital. The one in the palace now is faked by Jiang Xiaoyu, so there is no need for so many people to serve him, so these people are temporarily idle.
As a result, Jiang Xiaoyu's tea was still poisoned.
It can be seen that the murderer had a premeditated plan. His target was the Human Emperor from the beginning. Everything Shui Yunxuan did was just to attract attention and divert attention.
"It's a ghost."
said a young eunuch.
"What the hell is wrong with you?"
asked another eunuch.
"I saw with my own eyes that a ghost walked quietly behind Hong's mother and pushed her into the well!"
The first little eunuch lowered his voice and pretended to be mysterious.
"Really? Don't scare me with ghost stories this late at night!"
Wu Haojun heard the conversation between the two people and quickly realized something.
The murderer is definitely the vague figure who attacked Feng Erniang and injured Gu Liangcai before.
Zhao Deliang also said that the man fled in the direction of the imperial capital, which just confirmed this.
In this way, the entire case can be connected.
The man in black in Shuiyunxuan and the vague figure in the palace must be on the same road.
And the man behind the planning of all this is Bai Yushan.
Bai Yushan himself admitted that he arranged everything in Shui Yunxuan.
But Wu Haojun has no way to take Bai Yushan.
He has experienced Bai Yushan's skills.
I went to see him twice in total, but both times I fell into his illusion.
The first time, he had to thank Second Senior Sister for unlocking the illusion for him, and the second time, he had to thank Jiang Xiaoyu.
But what Wu Haojun doesn't understand is what is Bai Yushan's purpose of using illusion to control himself?
It will never be as simple as just being like this on the surface and embarrassing yourself.
There must be a bigger conspiracy inside!
Wu Haojun pondered: "If Bai Yushan's illusion can make him lose consciousness, then it can also make others lose consciousness. In this case... If I was controlled by Bai Yushan at that time, then Bai Yushan can also control other people."
When he thought of this, Wu Haojun felt extremely scared to think about it!
In other words, anyone who meets Bai Yushan may become his murder tool!
If everything is related to Bai Yushan, then what is his purpose?
Assassinate the Killer Emperor and conquer the world?
Are you too ambitious?
Unfortunately, Bai Yushan's illusion skills were too powerful, and Wu Haojun thought he was no match for him.
You have to think of a complete solution.
It was almost midnight, and the deadline given to Wu Haojun by the "Human Emperor" was almost up.
Wu Haojun still has no results
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
.
Although the identity of the man in black was found out, Wu Haojun was still unwilling to believe that sisters Xiaodie and Su Rui were the murderers of Shui Yunxuan.
Thinking of this, Wu Haojun planned to discuss it with Jiang Xiaoyu.
So he walked towards the imperial study room.
As a result, not long after leaving, I saw the lights on the opposite side brightly lit, and a group of people holding torches high, heading this way.
These people are the royal guards guarding the palace.
A group of people came to Wu Haojun aggressively and surrounded him.
I saw one of them walking out from among the guards with his head held high and his chest held high.
This man is none other than King Ji.
Wu Haojun looked to the left and right and said in a deep voice: "Prince Ji, I didn't expect that the Royal Forest Army is also under your control?"
King Ji sneered and said: "To capture the number one master in the Imperial City, we naturally need to mobilize the strongest Imperial Guards in the Imperial City!"
Wu Haojun's eyes swept over everyone, and his expression was very calm: "Why do you arrest me? And you guys are no match for me at all!"
King Ji's eyes turned sinister and he shouted sternly: "Wu Haojun, you killed two of my sons. Even if I die tonight, I will avenge my sons!"
The corners of Wu Haojun's mouth raised slightly, and he looked at the dozens of masters behind Prince Ji: "My lord, your son's death has nothing to do with me!"
King Ji looked at Wu Haojun and said angrily: "You killed someone in the palace, and all of us saw it!"
Wu Haojun crossed his arms across his chest, ignoring Prince Ji's hateful gaze, and said to everyone: "I don't know, Prince Ji, you are very good at framing people! I, Wu Haojun, have never killed anyone in the palace! Everyone, this is me
The grudge between you and Prince Ji has nothing to do with you! Don’t listen to the slander and lose your life in vain!”
King Ji's face turned red from suppressing his emotions, his eyebrows were knitted into knots, and he was extremely angry: "Here comes Wu Haojun, who is cold-blooded and ruthless. He has killed countless people. Let me take him down!"
Wu Haojun looked indifferently and looked at King Ji and the people behind him.
These people were all brought by King Ji, and they were obviously arranged in advance.
It seems that the other party has been plotting for a long time and is just waiting for Wu Haojun to fall into the trap.
Wu Haojun tried his best to calm down and said: "Your Majesty, the case has made progress. Shui Yunxuan's murder case has also received preliminary results. It is expected that it has something to do with the Haotian Sect."
Where did King Ji go to listen to Wu Haojun's explanation? He shouted loudly: "Wu Haojun, you still want to quibble? Today, it's useless even if you talk to the world! Come on, what are you waiting for? Capture him and chop him into meat paste!"
"
It was already dark at this time, and a group of people holding torches and carrying swords surrounded Wu Hao's army.
Among these people, there are many masters in the Tianwu Realm, and there are also some top masters in the Soul Martial Realm.
These are all powerful men in the Royal Forest Army, and they are also King Ji's minions.
In order to deal with Wu Haojun, King Ji used his authority and directly brought all the elites who were stationed in the Royal Forest Army.
At this moment, another group of soldiers came over holding torches.
The leaders were brothers Wang Qisheng and Wang Qien.
As soon as they saw Wu Haojun, they shouted at the same time: "Wu Haojun, give back my son's life!"
Wang Qi'en's son died in Shuiyunxuan, and his body was torn into eight pieces by Wu Haojun. He had long hated him.
Wang Qisheng's son also died because of Wu Haojun.
So when the two brothers got the chance, they both wanted to put Wu Haojun to death.
The two groups of people crowded together and formed a larger circle.
Wu Haojun's eyes turned cold, he took out the demon-slaying sword in his hand, and prepared to start a killing spree.
But what surprised him was that for some reason he couldn't sense any demonic energy from the Ninth Princess.
It seems that I have to rely on myself this time.
Little did he know that in order to escape from the divine tripod, the Ninth Princess had already swapped souls with his and almost lost all her magic power.
Under such circumstances, how could Wu Haojun borrow the evil spirit of the Ninth Princess?
"kill!"
Wang Qisheng has the highest official position here. With an order, seven or eight masters of the Yiwu Realm attacked Wu Haojun together.
