The operation of relocating residents in the royal city was still going on. Until nine o'clock that night, almost no residents could be seen in the royal city. The streets in the four areas were empty and deserted. Occasionally, there were a few teams of imperial soldiers conducting secondary searches.
The entire royal city was immersed in a tense atmosphere...
Another half hour later, in the Tianyue Palace, a palace maid went to Jun Concubine's bedroom to deliver midnight snacks. She called in front of the palace for a long time but still received no response, so she opened the half-open door and found: General Wang of the Imperial Dynasty.
Ju and Junfei Zhang Mingjun died naked on the bed, and the scene was embarrassing.
Twenty minutes later, Yue Chongsheng received the news and rushed to Zhang Mingjun's palace. He witnessed the scene in front of him. He was not sad at all because of Zhang Mingjun's death. Instead, after learning the fact that Zhang Mingjun was having an affair with Wang Ju,
He was so angry that the thunder shook, and in an instant he blew up the palace with the law of thunder.
The next day, Yue Chongsheng sentenced Zhang Mingjun to death for the crime of "deceiving the emperor." The third prince Yue Tianjun was deposed from the prince's position and demoted to a commoner; then five of General Wang Ju's lieutenants and more than a dozen of Wang Ju's family were sentenced to death.
All the people were beheaded in public, and the crime was: treason.
…
In the emperor's study, Yue Chongsheng paced back and forth with an annoyed look on his face. The incident of Zhang Mingjun's affair with Wang Ju still lingered in his mind, and he did not even reveal the actual reason for their execution to the world - he could not afford to lose face.
At this time, Ma Chengyun walked into the study room——
"General! You came just in time! I was so angry about that bitch last night that I destroyed the scene. But after thinking about it carefully, I found that the death of this slave Wang Ju was the same as the death of twenty other officials.
The same thing, they all died from a direct blow through the heart. Therefore, I guess: Wang Ju is the twenty-first victim... As for Zhang Mingjun, this bitch... she committed suicide... that is, she died of love.
!" When Yue Chongsheng said this, he couldn't help gritting his teeth.
"Your Majesty, in this matter, I believe that the murderer should be in the palace... Since last night, I have expected that the murderer will start killing soldiers, and each time he kills people of higher status than the last time, so the murderer
The finger will inevitably be pointed at the people in the palace... Therefore, I asked my close soldiers to closely guard the surroundings of the palace. From yesterday until now, no one has been seen walking out of the palace, even with the law of darkness and the wind.
It is impossible to escape under the guard of my elite soldiers..." Ma Chengyun said confidently, and his meaning was already obvious.
"General, what you mean is...that the murderer...is in the palace right now?" Yue Chongsheng was a little unconvinced.
"Whether it's true or not, you can find out if you do an interrogation. However, this time, we need to find a team that has never entered the palace before, and the number of people cannot be large. Otherwise, I'm worried that the murderer was originally arrested.
Once a well-known face is integrated into the interrogation team, no one knows whether the murderer will enter the trap again next time." Ma Chengyun said very cautiously that he had planned this plan three days ago.
Already designed.
Yue Chongsheng frowned and thought for a long time, and then said: "Okay, let's do what the general wants! The day before yesterday, didn't the general recommend a Mr. Dongfang as General Iron Sword? Since he is a newly promoted general, he
Let him bring people into the palace to conduct an investigation. This is my gold medal. Give it to him and let him investigate with confidence! As long as he finds out, he will be rewarded! And... let him start the investigation from the harem! What can he find?
Anyone who shouldn't be in the harem should be arrested directly! At that time, they may be dealt with together with the murderer!"
Ma Chengyun originally meant the same thing, so he accepted the gold medal and left the study.
Three hours later, that is, around noon that day, Dongfang Fan and his family had lunch, leaving Dongfang Biluo, Jiang Mina, Liu Yuxin, Saito Rie and Tong Queer behind, and received the gold medal.
Dongfang Fan took the other four people and set off to Tianyue Palace - he had originally intended to intervene in this matter.
As soon as the five people from Dongfang Fan entered the palace gate, a eunuch named "Zhaocai" stepped forward to lead the way. The first place to be checked was Concubine Ming's palace, which was Wang Mingxue's palace.
"General Iron Sword has been ordered by the emperor to investigate the Moon Palace!" Zhaocai shouted in a sharp voice outside the palace. The two palace ladies standing outside stepped forward to open the palace door, then knelt down, and in front of the door
In the center, a woman in luxurious clothes and elegant appearance stands leaning forward, and on the other side stands a man in plain clothes.
"Mingxue has met the general..." Wang Mingxue said weakly.
"Hmm...who is this?" Dongfang Fan nodded to Wang Mingxue, and then looked at the man beside him. He felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't quite remember it.
"General, this is General Ping Tailong who leads the Thunder Dragon Army. He is Ming Fei's classmate... However, it seems a little inappropriate to appear here at this time... The emperor also said that anyone who should not appear in the harem
Everyone..." Zhaocai bowed to the side and introduced. The second half of his words meant that he hoped Dongfang Fan would take Ping Tailong away.
"Ha! It turns out to be General Ping Tailong. I'm glad to meet you! Since we are classmates, it's normal for us to visit each other. There's nothing wrong with it. Besides, with General Ping Tailong here, I believe there's no need for an interrogation. Let's go down.
One place." Dongfang Fan smiled heartily, nodded to Ping Tailong, then turned and left...
After Dongfang Fan left, Wang Mingxue asked Ping Tailong strangely: "Tailong, do you know that person?"
Ping Tailong thought for a while, shook his head and said: "This is also the first time I have met this person... However, it looks like he has known me before... Fortunately, he didn't make things difficult for me just now, otherwise there would have been a conflict between you and me.
I'm just afraid of..."
Wang Mingxue asked two palace maids to close the door. Inside, she fell into Ping Tailong's arms and said reluctantly: "What happened to Mingjun will make 'that person' go crazy... During this time, you should not come here again..."
...When this storm has passed...well, if I were not that person's concubine...that would be great..."
Ping Tailong frowned and made a certain determination in his heart. He immediately picked up Wang Mingxue and walked towards the bed...
However, Dongfang Fan did a round of checking in the harem and found no suspects. However, the process was too boring, and the two girls who followed him, Ma Fan and Zhuang Jing, had already begun to complain.
"General, the entire harem has been inspected, but there is still one place... which is the queen's palace... logically speaking, it needs to be inspected." Zhaocai said next to Dongfang Fan. At this time, Dongfang Fan noticed.
To: There is no trace of Dongfang Xueer in this harem at all.
"Well, it is indeed true. Although the possibility is unlikely, we cannot let this interrogation leave any flaws... Could you please lead the way?" Dongfang Fan said with a smile. If the previous interrogation was just official, then the interrogation of Dongfang Xueer would be
It was completely out of Dongfang Fan's selfishness.
There is a separate courtyard in the far north of the harem. In the courtyard, a luxurious but slightly deserted palace feels the ruthlessness of the years in the chilly autumn colors...
Dongfang Fan asked others to wait outside the courtyard, came to the palace door alone, frowned and opened the door——
"Crunch~~~"
Some rotten wooden doors made a harsh creaking sound. After crossing the threshold, the interior was empty and cold. There was a white figure lying on the only low table - she seemed to have noticed someone entering, so she moved.
"Is it Huahua? Thank you for coming to bring me food again... put it on the ground... leave quickly... if you let others see it... you will be punished..." Dongfang Xueer was still lying on the table, even
Even if his eyes were not opened, it would not be an accident even if the weak breath was interrupted at the next moment!
"Who made you become like this!" Dongfang Fan was furious, and an angry roar disturbed the silence in the cold palace.
Dongfang Xueer was frightened by the roar and raised her head. Seeing the unfamiliar face in front of her, she subconsciously asked: "Who are you?"
It was expected that Dongfang Xueer could not recognize Dongfang Fan. Furthermore, when he was in Yamato City, Dongfang Fan's whole body was wrapped in bandages, so no one knew his true identity, which caused Dongfang Xueer's current confusion.
.
"If I knew that that beast would treat you like this, I shouldn't have been soft-hearted and let you come back!" Dongfang Fan became furious and immediately took out a cotton robe from the space and fell on Dongfang Xue'er. At the same time,
Ling Ran's sword energy emitted from his body, dispelling the coldness around him.
"This voice... you are Mr. Dongfang!" Dongfang Xueer's eyes widened in surprise. She never expected to meet the person in front of her in this place and under such circumstances.
Dongfang Fan looked at Dongfang Xueer's cold and pale face, frowned, and after a while, the aroma of food on a large table attracted Dongfang Xueer's attention.
"Eat!" Dongfang Fan shouted, staring closely at Dongfang Xue'er. The latter could see the irresistible perseverance in those eyes, swallowed immediately, and then ate in the delicious food on the table regardless of the image.
Raging, he raised his eyelids to glance at Dongfang Fan from time to time, but the more he looked at it, the more familiar he felt, as if he had seen this person a long time ago.
"You should have read the contents of that kit... I know you don't believe it yet... But that's not important to me, because whether you remember me or not, I won't let you be
Any grievance..." Dongfang Fan lightly kicked the ground with his right foot, and suddenly, a space array appeared. A moment later, Dongfang Biluo, Liu Yuxin, and Tong Queer appeared——
"Bi Luo, Yu Xin! And Que'er!" When Dongfang Xue'er saw these three people, her face suddenly burst into laughter, and she stood up directly to stand with the three women.
"If the three of you are here...could he really be..." Dongfang Xueer suddenly said, looking at Dongfang Fan with a strange look in her eyes.
"No matter how the world changes, no matter how the world changes, I, Biluo, only have this one master, Miss Xueer. You guessed it right: he is your brother." Dongfang Biluo held Dongfang Xueer's hand and said with a smile.
Dongfang Xueer's world view began to change at this time...
…
At the same time, Yue Chongsheng, who was consulting classics in the study, was suddenly startled by the sound of the door being pushed in. He turned around and saw: a man in black robes, exuding an undisguised murderous aura, and his hands were stained with the blood of the guards outside the door.
