"Concubine Shizi, the dress is dead!"
As soon as Zhu Xing returned to Bixiaotang, the first thing was to inform Nangong Yue of the matter.
At the moment, the two were in Xiao Yi's outer study. Nangong Yue was sitting on Xiao Yi's Taishi chair. For her, the slightly wider Taishi chair made her more petite, and Bai Hui and Begonia were on the sidelines. .
The result of Zhu Xingyu's report was also beyond the expectation of Nangong Yue. Nangong Yue couldn't help but squint her eyes in surprise.
Nangong Yue lowered her eyes halfway, her eyes flickered, and after pondering for a while, she asked slowly: "Zhu Xing, tell me, how did you sew the clothes? What clues did you leave?"
Zhu Xing's death was a bit bloody and horrible. Zhu Xing had wanted to say so, but since Nangong Yue asked, he also carefully said: "When the corpse of Xiong Yi was found, It was fixed to the wall with three daggers, one in each hand and the third in her throat, but the fatal wound was that the blood on the side of her neck was cut and blood flowed out of the dress Finally died of excessive blood loss, the dagger capital used is a common dagger, and there is no special clue left."
Before finding the body of Zhu Yi, Zhu Xing felt that the people who rescued Xi Yi were all Baiyue people, but with the death of Xi Yi, he could not confirm this.
Nangong Yue listened to her while drinking tea, seeming to be casual, but her mind turned fast.After the tea cup was put down, he asked again: "Can you see if she was killed first, then the body was nailed to the wall, or was it inverted?"
No one could answer this question, but Zhu Xing, who had been on the battlefield and had seen a lot of blood veterans, thought about it and immediately replied: "It is the latter"
In other words, was the pendulum pierced the palm of a hand with a dagger and nailed to the wall while alive, and then cut the throat to bleed?
"Abuse," Nangong Yue murmured, thoughtfully.
Zhu Xing narrowed his eyes and pondered.
The first time he saw the corpse posing, he intuitively felt that it was a slaughter.
Luoyue City is the site of the King's Mansion in Zhennan, and the people who took away the clothes were not hesitant to take such a big risk and had to act. This shows the importance of the clothes for him, but the clothes were actually killed, and they were not killed but killed by a knife. People cruelly kill.
Obviously, the perpetrator should be for some purpose, either to torture something or to punish anger
Zhu Xing thought of it, and Nangong Yue naturally thought of it too. After a moment of pondering, he ordered: "Zhu Xing, keep checking!"
The person who robbed the clothes is still unknown and missing. Of course, this matter must continue to be investigated!
Zhu Xing's eyes flickered, immediately clenched his fist to lead his life, and then proposed: "The Princess of the World, the subordinates want to double the guards of the Wang Mansion and Bi Xiaotang, how does the Princess of the World feel?"
Nangong Yue nodded, "I will talk to the prince on the other side of the palace." Nangong Yue can take charge of all matters of Bixiaotang, but on the other side of the palace, the prophet needs to know the town of Nanwang.
Seeing Nangong Yue's understatement, Zhu Xing couldn't help but sigh. With the imperial concubine, the prince didn't know how convenient it was to act.No wonder the saying goes, "Wife and virtuous husband do less harm!"
It's not yet time for Chen, this day has just begun. For Zhu Xing, there are still many things to be busy today.
After Zhu Xing withdrew, Nangong Yue rubbed her eyebrows and showed a little tiredness. She slept late last night and got up early this morning. She did not rest for a few hours all night.
She took another sip of the awakening tea in the tea cup, and then told Bai Hui to say: "Bai Hui, please go and ask the lord if he can increase the guard of the royal palace. She said that the New Year is coming. Someone’s idea of playing the grandson, after all, our royal palace resisted twice.”
Bai Hui led away with a smile.Both maidservants are well-informed. Now in the mind of the King of Zhennan, the most important person is the younger generation. As long as it is related to the younger generation, let alone doubling the guard, it is to adjust the strength of the army. Over here, I am afraid that the King of Zhennan said nothing.
As for Nangong Yue, after slowly drinking this cup of tea, she got up and took Begonia away from the outer study, intending to return to her yard.
Unexpectedly, she had just stepped out of the study door, and the air around her suddenly froze.
"Boom! Boom!"
Two gleaming sleeved arrows pierced the air and shot quickly towards Nangong Yue. These two arrows were much smaller than ordinary feather arrows, but their speed and sharpness did not decrease. They came like flying fire meteors, tearing the air , With a strong, fierce murderous.
But Begonia is still behind Nangong Yue, and the study door is only enough for one person at a time.
The two sleeve arrows were extremely fast, but in the blink of an eye, they had shot a few feet away, one arrow aimed at Nangong Yue's eyebrow, and the other arrow pierced her left chest straight.
?Between this electro-optical flint, Begonia stepped on the back door frame, and then leaped out by force, and her petite body flexibly leaped from Nangong Yue's head, and at the same time, her left hand Shaking a flying knife, he hit the sleeve with a bang and slammed it away. The whip in his right hand was also thrown out like a spirit snake, winding up the second sleeve.
In this silent morning, the sound of the weapon handover appeared extremely cold and harsh.
""
There was a strange sound of swinging leaves and branches from the canopy of the quiver. It was clear that the perpetrator had gone.
Begonia stepped forward intuitively, but still stopped decisively, not catching up.
For her, her most important task is to protect the concubine of the imperial concubine, and everything else is extra trivial.
If someone is taken away from the mountain because of a moment of impatience, it is because of a small loss that only regrets!
Begonia shook his whip somewhat reluctantly, and looked coldly at the two sleeve arrows that had been shot down on the ground. The sharp tip of the arrow glowed with coldness in the sun, and the air was cold.
Soon, a sound of footsteps was heard not far away, and the changes here attracted the guards who were guarding outside the courtyard, and the footsteps entered the courtyard in chaos.
They naturally saw the Xiu Jian that fell on the ground at a glance, guessing what had happened just now, their faces changed greatly, and they were afraid after a while.
"Someone assassinated the concubine!"
"Quick! Go chase the Assassin!"
"Hurry and tell the steward Zhu!"
""
The commotion in the outer study spread quickly like a plague. After a while, the entire Bixiaotang knew about the attempted assassination of the concubine, and in the early morning, a violent storm surged in Bixiaotang.
It's tougher than last night, it's more turbulent, and it's more powerful!
Bixiaotang is messed up and down!
After a while, Zhu Xing took a team of guards back to the courtyard of the outer study. Centering on this, a group of guards searched the corner of Bixiaotang for a long time, but they were busy for a long time, but they still found nothing. .
This disappointed Zhu Xing and became more alert.He decisively changed his original plan, directly using Xiao Yi’s token to transfer a hundred soldiers from the Luoyuecheng battalion, and temporarily serve as the guard of the royal palace and Bixiaotang.
For a time, both the Wangfu and Bixiaotang entered an emergency state of alert. As long as the upper and lower floors of the Fuchu thought that there might be a hideous and terrible assassin hidden in a corner of the Fufu, they were all worried. a feeling of.
At this time, Nangong Yue returned to her house under the guard of Begonia. The first thing was to go to the inner room to see Xiao Xiaoyu.
Seeing how the little guy slept spitting bubbles, Nangong Yue felt only lucky. Fortunately, she was ordered to protect Xiao Xiaoyu and Xiaoyin secretly because she was rescued by putting on her clothes last night, otherwise, if it was an assassin Aimed at the little guy, she dare not think about it
Nangong Yue looked softly at the sleeping face of the little guy for a while, and the impetuous heart slowly calmed down, as if finding the heart's return.
After calming down, she began to recall what had just happened.
Obviously, the assassin should have been prepared, and was still lurking in that position for a long time, so he can decisively kill the killer the moment he walked out of the study!
Unable to hit it, he resolutely left without any nostalgia, leaving no clue or even seeing his figure.
This neat and haunting style made Nangong Yue naturally think of the people who took away and killed the clothes.
There is a connection between the two, and they should be the same group.
But who will it be?
Nangong Yue crooked her head, thinking of the death in her clothes, and muttered to herself: "Mr. kill"
But why do you have to pose like that, why use three daggers?
Nangong Yue always feels that the death of the dress is too deliberate, too characteristic and even has a certain sense of ritual.
Maybe this is not a simple killing
Begonia on the side saw Nangong Yue thinking, and said casually: "Sister-in-law, the slave-servant thinks this murderer should hate the dressing, so she let her lose a little blood and die. This process is definitely extremely important for the dressing. Painful, but relatively speaking, the murderer also has to take a greater risk and wait for the dress to slowly die."
Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows and looked at Begonia.By saying this, Begonia can rule out the murderer to torture the clothes, that is to say, this man spent so much time saving and killing Zhou Zhang in order to--
punishment!
He also deliberately chose a certain ritual punishment.
Pianyi is the Saint Virgin of Baiyue. As far as she knows, in Baiyue, more than half of the people envelop the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Virgin represents the messenger sent by God to the world and is the most supreme existence in Holy Heaven. The status is second only to the Baiyue royal family
Nangong Yue didn't know much about Baiyue, that's all.
"Thrush, magpie." Nangong Yue called out loudly, "You two find a way to find some books about Baiyue at the bookstore in the city."
"Yes, concubine."
The two maids responded briskly, knowing that this matter was about assassins killing the embroidered dress and murdering the concubine of the world, and they did not dare to delay. They went out with a few mammoths. There are few bookstores to be found.
This search was two or three days, during which books were delivered to the Bixiaotang from various bookstores in the city.
At the same time, Zhu Xing's guards and the army of the South Xinjiang were still searching around the city, trying to find suspicious persons, but there was no clue.
This assassin, or this group of assassins, seemed to appear out of thin air, and disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace of it like a ghost.
At this time, Nangong Yue was not idle. She had to prepare for the Chinese New Year, take care of Xiao Xiaoyu, and spend time. Rao Shi had Baihui and Yinger. They could fight for her, but it still took a lot of time.
The books were moved into the small study room of Nangongyue box by box, and then out of the box.
On the twelfth lunar month, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the small study room. Queer stood up holding a book with a yellow cover, and suddenly caught the attention of others, including Nangong Yue.
"Concubine Shizi, look here"
Queer couldn't wait to present the book to Nangong Yue, and Xianxianyu pointed to a page of the picture.
Nangong Yue raised her right eyebrow slightly, and her eyes were immediately attracted by the picture in the book.
This picture shows a woman nailed to a wall with her arms outstretched. Numerous people rushed to throw stones at her. The woman died tragically, and at the same time she felt familiar It's time to die.
Nangong Yue settled down, turned a page forward, and looked at it from the beginning.
This book introduces the Holy Church, and the history of Holy Church is also a history of Baiyue.
It has been more than three hundred years since the founding of Baiyue. According to records, more than three hundred years ago, the Holy Church only had thousands of believers. At that time, an elder in the church, Dazhen, actively expanded the influence of Holy Church. In the middle of the year, the sage religion was developed to tens of thousands of people, which caused the scruples of Baiyue's power at that time, trying to eradicate the sage religion under the name of cult, but did not expect the sage religion to rebel under the leadership of Dazhen, but quickly occupied After three cities, in the next few years, it has attracted many believers with its doctrines. It has become more and more powerful. Every decade, it overthrew the old dynasty and established the current Baiyue.
After Dazheng became king of Baiyue, Shengtianjiao became Baiyue's holy religion. He claimed to be the divine son of God, and chose a female elder in the church to be the holy lady, and he was in charge of the holy religion. The Virgin Lady system also began from this.
The Virgin is sacred and has a lofty status, and must believe and pay for the Holy Church in her life.
But huge rights also represent ambitions. In the history of Baiyue, there were once virgins who formed party for private purposes, and there were virgins who persuaded believers to rebel. All these virgins were sentenced to capital punishment.
The picture that Queer found in the book is the punishment of the virgin, and the punishment is specifically for the virgin.
That is to say, the pendulum was sentenced to death!
The picture that Queer found in the book is the punishment of the virgin, and the punishment is specifically for the virgin.
That is to say, the pendulum was sentenced to death!
A fine light flashed through Nangong's eyes, and his thoughts flew.
The so-called "punishment" is inherently condescending, and public and private are often punished by the superior to the inferior.
It seems that the person behind this scene is indeed a Baiyue, and the identity may not be simple.
"Baihui, Begonia, let's go outside the study!" Nangong Yue stood up and commanded, "Thrush, you go to Zhu Xing to see me."
The maidservants hurriedly responded, followed the master and servants and left the house, and went to the outer courtyard.
Zhu Xing heard that the imperial concubine wanted to see herself, and immediately rushed to the outside study as quickly as possible.
Nangong Yue did not go into details, and asked Bai Hui to pass the book to him, and showed him the execution chart and several paragraphs before and after.
Zhu Xing finished reading at a glance, he was a wise man, and he understood it at once.
Obviously, Baiyue, who had already died, came to a distinguished person. This person not only respected the rules, but also boldly and carefully, he spared no expense to punish the saint.
In response to Zhu Xing's uncertain eyes, Nangong Yue, who had calmed down, commanded: "Zhu Xing, be sure to be optimistic about the six princes Carrero of Baiyue in Houshan. Since this person has punished the pendulum with Baiyue's rules It must be more than the honor of identity in Baiyue, and the belief that the orthodox is now dead in Kui Lang, then this person is likely to come to rescue the six princes of Baiyue."
Zhu Xing heard the words, his face was awkward, and there was a sense of caution in his expression.Shi Zifei said yes.Now that this person knows that the garb falls into their hands, it is also possible to know that Carrero has also become a prisoner of their ranks. Now I am in the dark of the enemy, and I cannot guarantee when the other party will shoot again.
"Thank you Princess Shi for mentioning something." Zhu Xing hurriedly clenched his fists, and then retreated.
While the guards of the back mountain dungeon were strengthened, the search in the city and the palace was not stopped. For two days, the soldiers of the southern army were patrolling around the streets and alleys of the city, exuding a cold atmosphere.
But after so much busy, still nothing.
Zhu Xing could only ask Nangong Yue again, proposing whether to deliberately expose the horse's feet. Later, Carrero in the mountain dungeon lured the other party to bait.
This is a good idea!
After obtaining the consent of the imperial concubine, Zhu Xing immediately raised the teacher and moved the crowd, and strengthened the guard of Houshan again, but two days later, the other party still showed no signs of being hooked.
The mastermind behind this scene seems to have left Luoyue City, there is no more action.
However, Nangong Yue and Zhu Xing did not dare to ignore them. They both vaguely felt that from this person's style of work, he should be an unattainable person who would not resign, and I am afraid he would not retreat so easily.
As the saying goes: "Thousands are only thieves, there are no thieves to prevent thieves", so it is not a good idea to wait.Nangong Yue simply proposed to use herself as bait, but was unanimously strongly opposed by Zhu Xing, Begonia, and others. This time it was no more than dealing with the Nine Kings of Nanliang. They knew too little about this mysterious person behind the scenes. Represents dangerous.
According to Begonia's statement, "The Princess of the World is porcelain, and can't bump into the rotten tiles!"
In the next few days, there was peace in Bixiaoli, Wangfuli, and Luoyue City. Everything was as usual, as if nothing had happened.
But even so, Zhu Xing and each of them dared not take it lightly. They always felt that this was the calm before the storm. The enemies were like snakes and beasts hiding in the shadows. I didn’t know when they would wait for the opportunity to pounce on them horribly.
Zhu Xing didn't worry about transferring a few more secret guards to secretly protect the courtyard of Tingyuge and Nangong Yue. For the princes of the world, the concubines of the princes, the grandson of the younger generation and the grandfather of Fang are the most important people. ...
In this seemingly calm atmosphere, the New Year is approaching day by day, and the new year is getting stronger, but under this lively and busy, there is a vaguely hidden atmosphere, the dark tide surges from south to North, even in the distant Kings
In the imperial study room of the palace, the atmosphere is dignified, as if covered with a thick haze.
"Secretary Lu Huaining sees the emperor." Jin Yiwei commanded Lu Huaining to kneel on one knee and respectfully salute the emperor.
The emperor sitting behind the emperor's face looked coldly at Huaining, and raised his hand annoyedly: "Get up."
The emperor's mood was very unpleasant. In the past few days, he has received the discounts of southern Xinjiang and western Xinjiang. It is not good news. First, the Zhennan Royal Mansion refused to marry, and then Weiyuanhou came to the newspaper and Xiye. Disagreement and dissatisfaction are contrary to his expectations. Nothing makes him happy!
The emperor's thoughts became more gloomy, especially three days ago, the "turn of success" like a sudden violent storm intensified in the Wangdu, and even the ordinary people were talking about this matter in a vivid manner, even more so The emperor was so angry that Qiqiao made smoke.
In this way, the emperor more and more believed that Xiaosan was right. Someone must have intentionally framed him and helped behind the scenes. Otherwise, ordinary people would dare to arbitrarily judge the right and wrong of the royal family. Therefore, the emperor ordered Lu Huaining to investigate the matter two days ago.
"Speak, how is the matter going?" Emperor Weiyi's voice echoed in Yushufang.
Lu Huaining's expression became more respectful, and Shen Sheng replied: "Return to the emperor, according to the minister's investigation, this matter was secretly done by the empress queen"
