C300 three-life wheel(1)

He said indifferently, "It was originally Deputy Commander Lu Linghui, who was patrolling the city when he received a message saying that someone in your family had contracted an epidemic disease and had attacked and injured someone. They are here to investigate."

"No, no!" What happened? There is no illness in my family, so it is even more impossible for me to attack or injure people. "

"This is the order of the Yan King. Anyone who has a disease must register and report it. Hiding it away is a serious crime. How could I have listened to a few words from you?" Lu Linghui waved his hand, and the soldiers behind his rushed up, pushing the man aside and rushing in.

The man was shouting, but he didn't dare to stop him.

The few of them went in to rummage through the yard and found that it was just an ordinary merchant's house. Two people entered the yard and in a place like the capital, where every inch of land was worth a lot of money, they could be considered rich. Other than the master, his wife, and about ten servants, there were no other suspicious people.

The people from the Dark Pavilion also went in to search after finding the soldiers. The owner of the house didn't know them. They came with Lu Linghui and thought they were also from the camp, so they searched everywhere.

After some investigation, he said he didn't see any patients. It seemed like it was a false alarm.

Lu Linghui slowed down his expression and greeted the couple with an official smile. The other party had no choice but to cooperate and send them out step by step.

Walking out of the alley, Lu Linghui asked in a deep voice, "Have you found anything?"

"Nothing."

Lu Ling's face slightly darkened as he swept a glance at them. Seeing a person from the Dark Pavilion passing over a box of rouge, he furrowed his brows and asked, "What is this?"

"Yanzhi."

One of the imperial guards sneered, "You searched around other people's houses, only to find the rouge of their female servants?"

"No, it's rouge again. This place …" Something to do with that rouge shop? "

The person from the Dark Pavilion shook her head, "There's a shelf in that room filled with all sorts of makeup. Her family owns makeup."

Lu Linghui silently opened the rouge box and smelled it. "The best rouge is not the same as that shop."

He closed the lid of the box and revealed a cold smile. "Beauty of the makeup, this shop is a famous powder shop in the capital. No wonder it can accommodate two courtyards in this kind of place."

"…" Everyone fell silent. What was the point in knowing this?

Lu Linghui glanced at the people from the Dark Pavilion and thought, as expected of someone trained by Xiao Yi Xiu, his thoughts were extremely meticulous.

"You can go and reply to the prince, he will understand."

The people from the Dark Pavilion replied and scattered in all directions.

The imperial guards, on the other hand, were confused. "Sir, what can this box of Yanzhi prove?"

Lu Linghui sighed, "The Mu Wang's shop..." It's being operated in the name of Princess Mu. "

The soldiers were speechless.

The next day, Lu Linghui tidied up the information he had received from his subordinates and prepared a horse for the journey outside the city with his men.

At the same time, the Residence of Mo received the latest news. The village which was the first to experience the plague was on both sides of the main road. When the Northern Chu Emissary's team passed by, they would stop for a short rest.

Although the village wasn't rich, the tavern produced a type of strong liquor. The people of Dongyuan City weren't used to drinking it, but Helian Yu liked it a lot. After buying it once, he ordered people to go back and buy it twice.

There was nothing wrong with this matter, but as they continued their investigation, they discovered that the wine itself originated from the Northern Frontier. It was on the border of the Northern Chu, and the weather was cold and the produce was scarce.

The owner of the restaurant was a foreigner who had moved from the northern border to the capital.

"Northern Frontier, it's the Northern Frontier again!" Xiao Yixiu took a deep breath. He needed to calm down and think about why all the accusations were directed at the northern border.

In fact, he had already sent people to Xinping State to search for clues about the Gu worm in Dongyang City. However, they were thousands of miles away, so it would still take several months for them to get back to the capital.

"I thought it was Helian Yu …" Gu Qingli's voice was a little soft, and when he mentioned that name, a wave of hatred rose up in her heart.

When the people from the Dark Pavilion said that the owner of the liquor store had disappeared before the outbreak of the plague, the two of them looked at each other and could see the chill in each other's eyes.

Helian Yu would not buy back that wine for no reason. Even if it was the strong wine that the Northern Chu soldiers liked, it was after all a crude wine. As the crown prince, Helian Yu could not possibly be very passionate about it.

The disappearance of the owner of the liquor store confirmed this point. Helian Yu had frequently gone to find the owner for an unspeakable reason. Afterwards, the epidemic broke out, and Gu Qingli's conjecture came closer and closer.

Inside Cheng Yang Restaurant, a middle-aged man sat opposite Helian Yu. He had a face full of frost, his skin was slightly white, and the "Chuan" symbol on his forehead looked as if it was carved by a knife.

In front of the two of them was a bottle of wine, and in between the cups was a jade plate. The texture was fine and white, as white as mutton fat.

"This is …" That roulette you're talking about? " Helian Yu was a little disbelieving. Such a smooth plate, even if it was a top-grade White Jade Peace, could not be considered priceless. How could so many people die because of it?

That person laughed, "There are some things that the Crown Prince does not understand."

He closed his eyes and began to chant some strange syllables. As he recited more and more, the water in his plate began to ripple, spin, and spin faster and faster, like a whirlpool. Vapors rose from the center of the whirlpool, forming mountains and rivers in the mist.

"Crown Prince, order a drop of blood." He suddenly opened his eyes, and a bright light shone within. It was difficult to comprehend what he was doing. His previously calm and refined expression had completely disappeared, as if he had become an otherworldly expert with the aura of an otherworldly person.

Helian Yu was originally a bit careless. But at this moment, he was shaken by this wondrous scene. He skeptically pierced his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the plate.

The illusion of the world in the jade plate was indeed amazing, but it was also a trick used by the martial artists of the martial arts world. It was one thing for him to not be able to see through it, but he would never believe in such things.

The virtual world began to change, and then the mountains and rivers, snow-capped peaks, all of a sudden, the view changed. Looking down from the resplendent palace with its jade-green roof and vermilion roof, there was the sound of a baby coming from a simple side hall. It quickly enlarged, revealing a very young and beautiful woman lying on her side on the bed.

"My beloved concubine, I will make you my imperial concubine. In the future, I will make our son my crown prince …" The man's voice was very excited, but no one could see him.

"No, no, your majesty, as long as chenqie continues to live peacefully like this, then it will be fine. There are too many honors that are not suitable for chenqie to come from." There was a trace of worry on the woman's face. She actually refused to be promoted to be a imperial concubine.

"Don't worry, I will protect you well."
