After hearing this, Mu Tianxue's expression froze, but then she recovered as before and continued to eat. After finishing breakfast, she asked Lai Yi to send her son back to Zichen Palace, and then she said in a solemn voice: "Is it them?"
Three important officials of the imperial court were massacred in one night. How cruel and terrifying it was. Not only did it alarm the people in the city, but it also frightened the hearts of all the officials. This caused people to feel panic and uneasiness!
Long Chen also picked up a memorial from the desk and handed it to Mu Tianxue, "This is the memorial presented by the Minister of Dali Temple today. Take a look."
Mu Tianxue looked solemn, took the memorial, glanced at it, threw it on the desk, pondered for a moment, and said: "They all died of poisonous arsenic and their heads were beheaded. Such a big murder happened, Murong Xuan and Senior Qin
Is there anyone aware of it over there?"
As far as she knew, Murong Xuan and Qin Hongsu secretly sent people to keep an eye on the traitors lurking in the dark. If those people were motivated, Murong Xuan and Qin Hongsu would notice it immediately. It was impossible for them to do nothing.
Do unless...
"The murderer of the murder was able to kill three major officials without alerting others. His martial arts must be extraordinary. Could it be him?" Apart from that person, she could not think of anyone else who had such ability and could easily escape the pursuit.
His men killed hundreds of people without anyone noticing.
But, she hesitated. This didn't look like his killing method. If he wanted to kill someone, there was no need to bother...
"Do you think it's him?" Long Chen also leaned back on the chair, raised the corners of his lips, and overflowed with a faint smile. This showed that she had a slight distrust of that person. He felt happy in his heart without hesitation, but he slowly
He said slowly: "This is not his style."
"Yes, this is indeed not his style. He will not do unnecessary stupid things." Mu Tianxue leaned back on the chair, folded his arms on his chest, stared at Long Chen and said: "I suspect brutal murder.
The people of the three major officials are not traitors lurking in the dark, but people from the three major officials' houses."
"On what basis are you reasoning?" Long Chen also thought of this, but Mu Tianxue said it first. He also wanted to hear whether Mu Tianxue's thoughts were the same as what he thought.
"First of all, it is ruled out that this murder was committed by someone lurking in Beijing. Secondly, I met with Hexuan last night. Hexuan did not mention the massacre of officials. Hongyi has been following Hexuan since last night. If Hexuan did it, Hongyi
I will definitely report in time." After a pause, Mu Tianxue continued: "Sima Heng also eliminates suspicion. He always kills people cleanly and neatly. He is good at using meteor darts. He doesn't like to use swords. He will never poison others and treat others well.
After death, Fang beheaded him, and Sima Heng had no motive to kill officials."
The memorial submitted by the Shaoqing of the Great Burial Temple also included autopsy reports from the homes of three important officials. The three officials all died of arsenic and were beheaded with swords and other sharp weapons. This kind of killing method is not Sima Heng's.
's handwriting.
"Excluding these people, it is most likely that they poisoned the three major officials without the knowledge of God or ghosts, and killed everyone in the family, only the people in the three major officials' houses." Seeing Long Chen, he said nothing.
, just listening quietly, Mu Tianxue continued: "I suspect that someone has planted killers in the houses of the three major officials, or bribed people. If I want to prove whether my guess is right or wrong, I only need to investigate Kyoto.
You can find out about it from medical clinics and drug stores of all sizes."
"Well, there will be news soon." Long Chen also agreed with Mu Tianxue's guess. When he got the transcript and read the autopsy report, he guessed that the person who carried out the murder was probably someone from the three major officials' houses.
, let the order be passed on, and people were asked to immediately conduct an inventory of all medical clinics and drug stores in the city.
"There is another important point." Mu Tianxue leaned forward, approached Long Chenyi on the opposite side, and said solemnly: "The three people who died were all officials from the six departments? The enemy seems to be targeting the six departments.
."
The six ministers in charge of the six departments were all Long Chenyi's confidants. With this attack from the enemy, Long Chenyi's three most trusted confidants were eliminated. It was difficult to find suitable people in a short period of time to transfer them to be in charge of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel.
"This is indeed the key point. The Ministry of War is in charge of soldiers and military needs. It cannot be without officials for a day. I have handed over all matters of the Ministry of War to Prime Minister Han." When Long Chen also said this, his face was expressionless, and there was a look in his eyes.
His eyes looked so profound and inscrutable that it was impossible to see through them.
Mu Tianxue's eyes narrowed, and she stared at Long Chen closely, hoping to get some clues from his profound eyes, but in those eyes, which were deeper than black, she could only see the sharp blade sharpened by the frost, Leng Che,
Sharp and shocking.
"Your Majesty, Commander Wang is asking for an audience." At this time, Hong Shao entered the inner hall and said respectfully. Long Chen also raised his hand and said expressionlessly: "Xuan."
Hong Shao responded and exited the inner hall. Within half a minute, she led Wang Chao into the inner hall. Wang Chao knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said respectfully: "I'm sorry to see you, Your Majesty."
"Say." Long Chenyi said a concise and concise word, revealing the majesty of a strong defender. Without the order to stand up, Chaoyang did not dare to stand up. He just raised his head and looked at Long Chenyi and said: "Go back to the emperor, close by."
Within half a year, some servants from the Shangshu Mansion went to Hua'an Pharmacy to buy arsenic."
Mu Tianxue looked at the kneeling Dynasty and asked slowly: "How can the drugstore shopkeeper be so sure that the person who bought the arsenic is a servant of the Shangshu Mansion?"
Chao Chao said: "Returning to the Queen, arsenic is highly poisonous. The dynasty has a rule. Medical hospitals and drug stores prohibit arsenic exceeding five grams. Medical hospitals and drug stores do not have large stocks. The shopkeeper said that three to four months ago, a man who claimed to be
He was a guard of the Shangshu Mansion. He went to the drug store and ordered half a kilogram of arsenic in one go. The shopkeeper took note of that person, and he brought the shopkeeper here because of his humble position."
As soon as he finished speaking, a guard escorted a man in his fifties into the inner hall. The man who was over forty had already turned pale with fear. His thin body was trembling as he knelt on the ground. He said in a trembling voice: "Fuck...
…Common people, please see...See Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, My Majesty, My Majesty, My Majesty, My Majesty, My Majesty, My Majesty, My Majesty, My Majesty, My Majesty, My Majesty, My Majesty, My Majesty, My Majesty, My Majesty, My Majesty, My Majesty.
"Are you the shopkeeper of Hua'an Pharmacy?" Mu Tianxue asked: "You must have said that the person you bought arsenic from was a servant of Shangshu Mansion? Is that person male or female, and what does he look like?"
"Back, back to the Queen, the common people, the common people don't know very well." A trembling voice accompanied by teeth chattering came from the man's mouth, "Your Majesty, Queen, please forgive me, that arsenic was not sold by the common people, it belongs to the common people.
The old man sold it, and the common people only overheard that person when he went to order arsenic, saying that it was someone from the Shangshu Mansion who ordered the arsenic. The voice sounded like a man's, and the other common people didn't know it at all."
Mu Tianxue's face darkened, and he looked at Wang Chao with piercing eyes. Wang Chao was shocked and said hurriedly: "Queen, please calm down. This person's old father died of arsenic on the night he sold the arsenic."
