Xin Youxuan, the wise venerable Hong Yin, and the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, are discussing the case in the palace. Suddenly, the imperial edict comes.
Naturally, the content of this edict is to ask the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, not to participate in solving the case.
The wise master Hong Yin said: "this must be the ghost of the old thief Jia Sidao. Let's find him to judge."
"More of your kindness, miss Hongyin. Forget it." Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment.
"You don't have to be afraid, Mr. Wen," said Hong Yin. "If you have the master, he doesn't dare to do anything to you."
"In troubled times, we don't want another thing." Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment.
She also said: "girl, your kindness is in my heart."
"Mr. Wen is right. It's important to solve the case now." Xin Youxuan said.
Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, said: "I feel relieved to have you two to solve this case."
"If you have anything to do in the process of solving the case, you can come to my official for help at any time." He added.
Xin Youxuan listened to him and said, "thank you, Mr. Wen."
"This is originally the business of our criminal department. You are helping us to do things. If you say thank you, I should thank you." Minister of the Ministry of punishment Wen Tianxiang Avenue.
Wen Tianxiang, a well behaved man, accepted the Edict and left after speaking with them.
At night, I can't see clearly what the stone tablet is in the pond. At this time, it is already day. With their eyes, they can see clearly.
The part of the stone above the water is about three feet high.
The words on it, as seen by the army of the royal guards, read "idiot prince, wrong country and wrong people".
Look at its material, it should be white marble.
Hongyin, a wise man, asked, "how did this stele rise?"
"If you want to lift the stone tablet from the pond, it will be at least a few kilos thick, and then it will be discharged into the water." Xin Youxuan said.
"You're not right," said the wise master Hong Yin
"What's wrong?" Xin Youxuan asked after listening.
The wise master Hong Yin said: "if you think about it, even as brother Youxuan said, the stone tablet should have been standing there for a long time, but in fact, they saw that the stone tablet was rising slowly."
"Let alone such a big stone tablet, even a small stone can't rise slowly from the water." She added.
After hearing this, Xin Youxuan nodded and said, "what you said is reasonable."
"Unless it's made of wood." He added.
The wise master Hong Yin said: "brother Youxuan, if you doubt the material of the stone tablet, let's take a boat to have a look."
"No problem." Xin Youxuan agreed and said.
They don't want the soldiers of the Imperial Army rowing, but Xin Youxuan rowing himself, with the wisdom of the venerable red Yin came to the stone tablet in the middle of the pond.
They looked at the stone tablet carefully, then knocked and touched it. Xin Youxuan said, "it seems that the sergeant of the imperial army is right. It's really made of marble."
"It's supposed to be underwater." Wisdom reveres the red hidden way.
She added, "we'll dive under the water and see if we can find something."
"It's very strange. We'd better go up. We can't do it. Let's talk about it." Xin Youxuan said.
Then he rowed and went back to shore.
Xin Youxuan waved to guard the small head of the imperial army here and asked him if the water in the pond could be drained.
To his disappointment, the small head of the Royal Army said he could not.
When the pond was built, live water was introduced from the outside river.
The living water in the river flows into the pond and then flows out from the other side.
It's just that the entrance and exit of the water flow in this pond are much lower than the lowest part of the pond. Even if the gate at the entrance is closed, the water level in this pond can only be reduced by two or three percent.
The wise master Hong Yin said, "there are many people in this palace. It should not be difficult to organize people to drain the remaining water."
"Even if 10000 people were organized, it would be impossible to drain all the water from this pond." The little head of the Imperial Guard listened to her and said.
After hearing this, I wonder why he is the red one.
According to him, when the pond was excavated here, there was water gushing out from the bottom of the pond, and the amount of water was very large.
This is because the pond has not been drained since it was built.
The head of the Imperial Guard said this, lowered his voice, and said: "to tell you the truth, there were many concubines, maids and eunuchs in the palace who threw themselves into the water or were thrown into it. If they were drained, many dead bones would be found at the bottom of the pond.""I didn't expect such a terrible thing to happen in such a beautiful pond." Wisdom reveres the red hidden way.
The head of the Imperial Guard said: "the last general just said it casually. You two know it. After that, the last general won't admit anything."
While they were talking, suddenly a sergeant of the imperial army came over and cried out, "no, no, no..."
"What happened again?" The little head of the Imperial Guard frowned and asked the sergeant.
The sergeant was out of breath and said, "the sergeants who rowed to see the stone tablet in the middle of the pond last night are crazy."
"Are they crazy?" Xin Youxuan asked after listening.
The sergeant replied positively, "yes."
Xin Youxuan said, "take us to have a look."
The party rushed to the camp of the imperial army.
When they arrived, they saw that Zheng Huchen, the commander of the Imperial Army, and Li Hu, the deputy commander, were already there.
The sergeants of the royal guards have been held in a single room because of their madness.
Looking through the window, I saw these soldiers crying and laughing.
Sometimes they even grab the soil on the ground, put it in their mouth and eat it.
Others will tear their clothes in a mess .。
Seeing someone watching outside the window, some sergeants curled up in a corner of the room as if they were ghosts, and said loudly, "I know my mistake. I will never dare to..."
Depending on the situation, these people are really crazy.
Xin Youxuan asked Zheng Huchen, commander of the Imperial Army, "sixth elder martial brother, when did this happen?"
"This morning." Zheng Huchen, commander of the Imperial Army, replied.
This morning, when it was time for the barracks to get up, the soldiers of the royal guards had been lying on their beds and didn't wake up.
So a sergeant went up to call them.
It doesn't matter. When these soldiers opened their eyes, they became very crazy. At that time, they bit several soldiers who lived in the same room with them.
Xin Youxuan listen to the imperial commander Zheng Huchen said, let him take, together to see a few wounded imperial sergeant.
After only a few steps, they saw a sergeant of the imperial army come to the commander of the Imperial Army, Zheng Huchen.
Zheng Huchen, commander of the Imperial Army, asked him, "what's the matter?"
"Report to the commander that the wounded soldiers are crazy, and bite the two military doctors who treated them." The sergeant replied.
Zheng Huchen, the commander of the imperial forest army, and Xin Youxuan speed up their pace and come to the room where the wounded sergeant of the imperial forest army lives.
In order to avoid their madness, they locked both of them in this room.
When they came here, they were as crazy as the sergeant they had just seen.
After seeing this, Xin Youxuan said, "sixth elder martial brother, quickly shut the two military doctors into a room and lock the door."
"What's the matter?" When Zheng Huchen, commander of the Imperial Army, saw that his younger martial brother Xin Youxuan was so serious, he asked.
Xin Youxuan replied: "you first arrange to do what you want to talk about with my younger brother. We'll talk about other things later."
According to him, Zheng Huchen, the commander of the Imperial Army, asked Li Hu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, to do it.
After arranging this matter, he asked Xin Youxuan: "now you can say it, younger martial brother?"
"I'm worried that you, the two doctors in the Imperial Army, will be as mad as those sergeants." Xin Youxuan replied.
Last night, the sergeant of the imperial guard who went to check the marble monument in the middle of the pond by boat went crazy. He shared a room with them, and the sergeant who was bitten also went crazy.
Now the two doctors who are treating the soldiers of the imperial guards are also bitten. According to Xin Youxuan's judgment, the next two doctors who are treating the soldiers of the imperial guards are likely to be crazy.
As expected, when Li Hu, the deputy commander of the royal guards, led people to lock the two military doctors in the house and lock them, the two military doctors really went crazy.
"This madness is like a plague. It's terrible." Zheng Huchen, the commander of the imperial army.
Li Hu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, said, "commander, there will be a proposal at the end of the day."
"What proposal?" After hearing this, Zheng Huchen, commander of the Imperial Army, asked him.
Li Hu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, replied: "if it goes on like this, the consequences will be even more serious if one is careless and makes these crazy people bite others."
"What do you want to do, just say it directly, deputy commander Li." Zheng Huchen Road, commander of the imperial army.
Li Hu, deputy commander of the Imperial Army, said: "in order to avoid future trouble, in the opinion of his subordinates, all these crazy people should be killed.""Well .。”
After hearing this, Zheng Huchen, commander of the Imperial Army, hesitated.
He was in a bit of a dilemma.
You know, after all, these people are subordinates of the imperial army. As their commander, he knows that these people are also innocent victims. At this time, if he kills them, it will be a little hard for Zheng Huchen, the commander of the imperial army.
If we don't kill them, more people will suffer.
As the head of the Royal Guard, he also has to consider the interests of the majority. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the soldiers to bring them.
Maybe it will lead to attacks by those who peep at the position of the commander of their own imperial army.
Just thinking about it, I just heard Li Hu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, say: "commander, please don't be soft hearted and delay the important thing at this time."
"The commander knows the priority of things. You don't have to remind him." Zheng Huchen Road, commander of the imperial army.
Li Hu, deputy commander of the Imperial Army, said: "my subordinates are also kind reminders."
"Nothing else." He added.
One after another, some people went crazy and yelled in the barracks. Many soldiers of the imperial guard who were not on duty surrounded them.
And they all began to talk.
When they think about what happened in the palace at night, they all talk about it.
Some people say that this is a warning from heaven. If someone participates in this matter again, it will fall to the end of those crazy people just now.
In normal times, such an idea can't stir up any big storm, but in this eventful autumn, such a discussion is more terrible than a flood of water and beasts.
Of course, Zheng Huchen, the commander of the Imperial Army, knew this.
He a stare, way: "irrelevant personnel, all return to respective barracks, can't discuss this matter."
"Yes The sergeant agreed, and they all dispersed.
Li Hu, deputy commander of the Imperial Army, urged: "commander, you can't hesitate any more
"If you don't have the heart to do it, you should let your subordinates do it." He added.
Zheng Huchen, commander of the Imperial Army, ignored Li Hu's question. Instead, he asked Xin Youxuan, "younger martial brother, in your opinion, what should we do about this matter?"
"Sixth elder martial brother, although the people in this room are crazy, maybe we can save them." Xin Youxuan replied.
"What's the matter with these people? If we want to save them, I'm afraid it's impossible." Li Hudao, commander and deputy commander of the imperial army.
He added: "our imperial army is responsible for guarding the safety of the imperial city and the emperor. If there is something wrong with this team, the emperor and Jia Xiangye will not let us go. You, Mr. Xin and miss Hongyin, are not members of the imperial army. Of course, don't worry."
"No nonsense. Deputy commander Li, miss Hongyin and the younger martial brother of this commander have been ordered to solve the case and hope to solve it as soon as possible." Zheng Huchen Road, commander of the imperial army.
Li Hu, deputy commander of the Imperial Army, said, "I beg your pardon, commander."
"The end will go to see the Holy One, and personally state the end's views to the Holy One." He added.
After that, he bowed to the commander of the Imperial Guard, turned around and left.
"Who is deputy commander Li?" The wise master Hong Yin was not happy to see this.
Zheng Huchen, the commander of the imperial forest army, replied: "miss Hongyin, deputy commander Li is such a person. Please don't blame him."
"You are welcome, elder martial brother six." Xin Youxuan said.
He also said to Zheng Huchen, commander of the Imperial Army, "I have a compromise plan for this matter. I don't know if it can work out?"
