The Guangdong Procuratorate, the Guangzhou Police Headquarters, and the Guangzhou Jinyiwei Yamen went through repeated sorting and interrogation. After three days, the information obtained from the papers and the confessions were compiled into a document and delivered to Yunxi.
"Your Majesty, all the spies sent by the Samarkand Kingdom in the entire Bao'an City Ship Division have been arrested, and all the Ming people who have taken refuge in the Samarkand Kingdom have also been imprisoned." Guangdong Inspector Li Shuli gritted his teeth and said: "There are actually More than a dozen people from the Ming Dynasty took refuge in Samarkand, how shameless!"
Of course he would be very angry. Not only because of the concept of loyalty to the emperor, but also because he had been subjected to a witchcraft before. It was a witchcraft, and he almost died! He is only in his early forties this year, and he is in his prime as an official. At a good age, now I am serving as an inspector of the third rank, and I still want to go to the capital to be the chief seal officer of the Yamen around the age of fifty. If I die, won't all this be in vain?
"You are truly a person without a king or a father, a person who rebels against human relations! Your Majesty, these traitors must be executed at an early date." After hearing Li Shuli's words, Chen Ji said, and the others immediately agreed.
Yunxi himself didn't care much about what Li Shuli just said. Which country doesn't have a few scum? What's more, this is still an era when the concept of nation-state has not yet been formed. There are a few such people who are not worth making a fuss about. They can be dealt with according to the "Da Ming Law" good.
He carefully looked at the compiled news in front of him, and said to himself in a voice that no one could hear clearly: "Three months ago, no, today is already the first day of November, the news four months ago , Timur was originally fighting a war with a country called Ottoman in this place called Anatolia, and after winning the battle, he led his troops back to Samarkand?"
"And the reason why he withdrew his troops so quickly was because I had conferred the title of vassal king in the northwest, and worked hard to win over the two kingdoms in the northwest, Yili and Oara. He returned to Samarkand in advance in order to prepare for the future war against the Ming Dynasty. ?”
Yunxi really didn't expect that the butterfly effect caused by his actions would affect such a distant place now.
'Historically, Timur went on an expedition in the second half of the 4th year of Li Shuli in 14 AD. He died before reaching Yilili in the second year. After his death, several sons split the country he founded until his grandson Uluru The unification of Poland was almost completed and a powerful country was re-established. However, this powerful country could not last for many years. The Uzbeks rose and gradually moved south. The descendants of Timur also had to go south, and finally established the Mughal Empire in India. .'
'Timur will return from Anatolia in July this year, and he will be able to return to Samarkand early next year at the latest. After another period of time to recuperate and raise food and pay for sending troops, he will be able to send out troops in the second half of the third year of AD 14. A full year earlier than in history; even if he didn't want to march in the ice and snow, Li Shuli could have sent troops in early 14th AD. He could have reached Yili in the summer of that year, and Ming Dynasty would have to send troops by then. In this way A battle with Timur is inevitable.'
Yunxi was a little dumbfounded. He did not necessarily make these preparations to fight Timur to the death, but just to be prepared; but his well-prepared actions produced a butterfly effect, making the war with Timur almost inevitable.
Not only that, because Timur did not annihilate other armies except the main army led by the Ottoman emperor, which resulted in the Ottoman state losing little strength. After the person who re-unified the Ottoman state in history completed the unification, the Ottoman state
It will be possible to send troops to the Balkans and other places faster, and the Eastern Roman Empire may be destroyed earlier. Whether it will lead to changes in the historical process of the entire Western world is hard to say, but the history of places like Anatolia, the Balkans and Tianfang
The process is expected to change a lot.
Although Yunxi had already begun to influence the historical process of the Eastern world, he did not yet intend to influence the historical process of the Western world.
"If I had known this, I wouldn't have done these actions." Yunxi said to himself with some regret.
His voice was a little loud, and the surrounding ministers heard it and immediately asked: "What are your instructions?"
"Nothing." Yunxi said: "All the captured Samarkand soldiers and the Han people who took refuge with them will be dealt with in accordance with the "Great Ming Law", and those Semu people who took refuge with them are no exception."
Some of the people present were not satisfied with this and said a few more words, but Yunxi rejected it and they stopped talking.
After Li Shuli finished talking about these people, he asked: "Your Majesty, when will the criminals in the harvesting and harvesting case and the witchcraft case be dealt with?" These people must be the principal culprit Ling Chi, the accomplices beheaded, and the accomplices were exiled. A few of them did not know.
As a result, the family members or young persons of the accomplices were pardoned. The Guangdong Procuratorate has already determined the crime and obtained Yunxi's approval. The only thing left now is when the case will be disclosed to the public and the execution will be publicized.
Yunxi thought for a long time and said: "Open the facts of the case of childbirth mutilation to the outside world, announce the perpetrators, and pick out the neat corpses for the people to identify the bodies; announce that Gao Jingde, the head of the Gao family, is the mastermind behind the case of childbirth mutilation."
For one thing, this case has nothing to do with the witchcraft case."
"They claimed to have caught the wizard who was performing sorcery, but this person has magical powers and has refused to reveal who is behind it. He is still being interrogated."
"I ordered the masters of the temples and temples in Guangzhou to calculate a suitable day. Ning Cai and other main culprits in the harvesting and cutting case were executed in Ling Chi.
The mastermind behind the major witchcraft case will not deal with the criminals of the major witchcraft case for the time being, and will deal with them together after the matter is investigated clearly."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Shuli, Qian Minglin and others agreed. They didn't understand why Yun He did what he did, but they didn't need to understand, they just did it.
"Also, hold a public trial, bring all the criminals involved in the birth-cropping case, and allow the public to observe. However, be careful, you must control the situation at the scene, and do not allow the public to break into the courtroom and beat them to death.
If someone commits a crime, Yunhe ordered again.
Li Shuli just thought that Yun Xiang wanted to let the people know how hateful these harvesters were; as for not letting the people beat the criminals to death, it was because he didn't want to make it too easy for them, so he agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty."
This was indeed one of Yun Xi's purposes, but there was another purpose behind this purpose, which Li Shuli could not have guessed.
"In this trial, you will be the chief interrogator. Yang Ren, when you go back, please also instruct your people from the Chief Envoy's Yamen and the Guangzhou Government Yamen. All officials are not allowed to appear in the interrogation hall."
Everyone knows that Yunxi is trying to implement the "independence in investigating cases" that he mentioned. Yunxi's system of having specialized officials responsible for hearing cases and specialized officials responsible for arresting criminals has not been implemented for a long time, and many people are in trouble.
They still went to the county government office to complain, and the prefect and county magistrate had to send people to send these people to the general judge who was responsible for hearing the case.
Having said this, Li Shuli and others had nothing to report, so they bowed and left. Qian Minglin, who had followed him and served as a backdrop for a long time, also wanted to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Yun He, saying that there was still more.
Things to ask.
After a while, everyone else left, and Yunxi hurriedly asked him: "Wude is willing to help Concubine Hui unravel the evil spell?"
"Your Majesty, Naoud is very remorseful because he confessed under a spell. If the prison guard hadn't been careful, he would have committed suicide and was unwilling to undo the spell for Concubine Hui." 8 replied.
"Hey, this." Yunxi sighed. Xiyi has been in coma for seven or eight days and still hasn't woken up. Although she takes tonics and porridge every day, her life seems to be fine at the moment, but can she stay like this for the rest of her life? He replied
After arriving in the capital, how to explain to Xiyao and those children?
"Find Master Zhang to cast spells on him and learn how to unravel the evil spell, and then help Concubine Hui unravel the evil spell?" Yunxi suddenly thought of this method and asked.
"Your Majesty, I have thought of this method before, and asked Master Zhang of the Wudang Sect to have a look at it. But after seeing it, Master Zhang said that the Wu De wizard's spell to undo his own evil was actually the same as his, and both needed to be possessed.
The person who performs the technique must be healthy before he can perform it, otherwise his life will be in danger, so I dare not tell His Majesty." 8 said.
"This," Yunxi hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "it's better sooner rather than later. The longer you delay, the smaller the chance of unraveling the evil spell. Besides, I see that Concubine Hui's body is fine now. You can go to Zhang immediately after you step back.
The Master’s Courtyard sent Master Zhang to go to Concubine Hui’s courtyard and immediately cast a spell to undo the evil spell on her body!”
"Yes, Your Majesty." 8 agreed. Seeing that Yunxi had no other instructions, he bowed and stepped back.
Yunxi put down the document he was holding and wrote a few sentences on it, which were all the strategies he had just thought of on how to deal with the witchcraft case and deal with Timur.
However, his handwriting was very sloppy, and it looked like it was written by a very impatient person. After Yunxi finished writing this sentence, he quickly read it to make sure he could understand it, then put on his coat and went to Xiyi's yard.
When he dared to go to Xiyi's yard, Zhang Sanfeng and Li Sha'er had already come over. Zhang Sanfeng was instructing the eunuch to prepare something. Li Sha'er stood aside and listened. If there was something that Xiyi's people couldn't prepare, he would immediately
Tell others to prepare.
When everyone saw Yun Xi approaching, they immediately bowed and saluted. Yun Xi waved his hands casually, and after Zhang Sanfeng finished his instructions, he immediately asked: "Master Zhang, how confident are you that you can wake her up?"
Zhang Sanfeng first stood up and saluted him, and then said after careful consideration: "Your Majesty, Concubine Hui's complexion is quite good today. Just now I felt that Concubine Hui's body is in good condition."
"But Your Majesty, things like spells are very mysterious, and even a poor man can spy on its true secret without even saying it, so he doesn't dare to guarantee it. At most, he is only 50% sure."
Zhang Sanfeng was very cautious in what he said, and he couldn't be careless. To be honest, he was unwilling to do this.
If Concubine Hui can be saved, it won't matter even if she is very weak when she wakes up; but if she cannot be saved, the consequences are unpredictable.
His Majesty seems to be very fond of Concubine Hui, and he may be in extreme emotions the moment he knows the result, and may how he will treat himself and the Wudang Clan. He himself is not afraid of death, but if he is implicated in the Wudang Clan, he will regret it.
It's time. But His Majesty has a destiny, and he doesn't dare to shirk it, so he can only accept it.
When Yunxi heard that he was only 50% sure, he hesitated. This was a bit low, and there was a half chance that he would not be saved.
He walked around the room several times, but still couldn't decide. At this time, he looked sideways at Xiyi lying on the bed, and when he saw the painful expression on her face from time to time, he immediately made up his mind: "I have decided to let Zhang
Master Zhang, you don’t have to worry if you cast a spell on Concubine Hui to wake her up. I know that life and death are matters of fate, and sometimes it is not human power that can change it. Even if Concubine Hui cannot wake up, I will never punish her.
You or the Wu-Tang Clan."
When Zhang Sanfeng heard this, he understood that Yunxi had indeed made up his mind, so he stopped saying anything and began to prepare seriously.
After a while, the rice porridge and nourishing medicine ordered by Zhang Sanfeng were ready. Zhang Sanfeng confirmed again and again that the tonic was not strong, and asked those present not to make any noise or interfere with his spell casting before he started to cast the spell.
He first helped Xiyi up, turned his back to him, took out a few needles from the medicine bag he carried with him, and pricked several acupuncture points on Xiyi's body.
But Xiyi's body didn't respond.
Zhang Sanfeng then increased his strength, changed several acupuncture points, and pricked it again, but she still had no reaction.
Zhang Sanfeng himself had begun to sweat on his forehead at this time, but he forced himself to calm down, turned her around, took out a needle and pricked the acupuncture points on her front. Because the person he was casting a spell on was a woman, the emperor's woman, so
He only pricked the acupuncture points on the back; but now only the acupoints on the back could not wake up Xiyi's body, so he could only use the acupoints on the front.
This time Xiyi's body reacted and moved just like Yunxi did at that time.
Yunxi became happy at that time and wanted to scream, but then he remembered Zhang Sanfeng's instructions and hurriedly covered his mouth. Several other people present also looked happy, and they almost cried with joy in early spring.
But it turned out that they were still very happy. Because Zhang Sanfeng later tried to use the "Golden Light Spell" to awaken Xiyi's soul but was unsuccessful, and Xiyi was not awakened.
Zhang Sanfeng stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and started pricking Xiyi's acupuncture points with silver needles again. He waited until her body reacted again and then used the "Golden Light Curse" again. This spell requires the body to react first before it can awaken the soul, and the spell does not matter once.
You have to do it again after use, so Zhang Sanfeng did this.
I don’t know how many times Zhang Sanfeng used it. Yunxi, who was standing aside, was sweating nervously. The front of his shirt was completely soaked by the sweat dripping from his chin. However, he was still unwilling to sit down and rest. He stood upright and watched.
Zhang Sanfeng casts a spell.
Finally, it was repeated again. After hearing the mantra, Xiyi opened her mouth and started chanting with him, and was awakened.
