The little girl from Dali Temple got promoted and made a fortune by solving crimes

Chapter 42 The Legend of the Monster
Jiang Sushang originally wanted to know if Zhao Guannan was from the royal family, but Liu Zhengyi could see her thoughts clearly.

She naturally wants to know who is behind this?
Three people have already died, and Jiang Sushang doesn't want to see more people die because of this competition.

"If my father-in-law could tell me, one less person would die. There are many talented people in Qilan. It is a pity to live in the mountains for a long time."

"It has something to do with the royal family." Liu Zhengyi said slowly: "The Zajia family used to serve the late emperor. The empress, who is now your majesty, is several years older than the late emperor. The late emperor once sought a beauty-preserving technique and gave it to the empress."

"No wonder Your Majesty looks like a twenty-eight-year-old girl now. I think the prescription the late Emperor sought is effective."

"No, not only was it ineffective, but the empress was almost disfigured. At that time, the late emperor's Empress Yuan fell ill and died in the sea of ​​fire. People around Empress Yuan thought it was the empress who killed Empress Yuan. She waited for an opportunity to retaliate, causing the empress to have red sores on her face. ." Liu Zhengyi continued: "At that time, the late emperor was at his wits' end. A woman brought her two children into the palace to treat the empress. The empress was very grateful to her and wanted to keep her, but after hearing her identity, she did not stay any longer. She did."

"Is it because that woman is from the Qielan tribe?"

"Yes, the ancestors of the Qilan tribe were the former imperial masters of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who were killed by Taizu. Taizu once said to future generations that witchcraft and Gu insects would not be allowed to enter the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even if the empress wanted to leave people behind, The late emperor also refused to allow it. What's more, that woman is the saint of Qilan and a descendant of the demon national preceptor. If she waits for an opportunity to retaliate, it will affect our great Zhou Dynasty Zuo."

"The current saint..."

"They must be her descendants!" Liu Zhengyi continued: "The Zajia family is puzzled that the beauty-preserving pills used by His Majesty recently are not the methods of the late emperor in the past, but the methods of Qielan. In the past, I served beside you and paid attention to Qielan. I think Her Majesty the Empress has some connection with Qielan, but after some testing, Her Majesty didn’t know that the medicine was from Qielan, she only said it was sent by her consort."

"So, my father-in-law came here to try to find out the cause."

"Yes, the Zajia family cannot let the late emperor's empire have any problems...cough cough cough cough..." Liu Zhengyi coughed violently, and he covered his mouth with a handkerchief. Jiang Suchhang saw that there was a trace of bloody phlegm on the handkerchief.

"Also... the Zajia family is determined to obtain the elixir of immortality."

Jiang Sushang understood that the medicine of immortality was the ultimate goal, and finding out the truth was just a side trip.Liu Zhengyi is already terminally ill. He wants to live and live closer. This is human nature.

Liu Zhengyi opened his mouth to say something, but his cough became more violent.

"I won't let my people die either. I never believe there is any elixir of immortality in this world."

Jiang Sushang and Liu Zhengyi are opponents. In this competition, it is still unclear who will be the final winner.

"Ahem... everyone thinks that the Miscellaneous Family is for themselves, and I am for the late Emperor and His Majesty. If I win, this medicine will be given to Your Majesty. If you win, please give it to Your Majesty."

Jiang Sushang was stunned on the spot. She mistakenly blamed Liu Zhengyi and thought he was doing it for herself. Unexpectedly, he was doing it for Her Majesty the Empress.

Regardless of whether the elixir of immortality is real or fake, Liu Zhengyi's integrity is rare.

"Her Majesty the Empress is a rare emperor in the world. Even the late emperor is not as brave and resourceful as her. If she gets this medicine, her lifespan will be increased, which will be a blessing to the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If the Za family dies, they can rest in peace."

"My father-in-law is upright and upright, but I am narrow-minded. If I get this medicine, I will definitely give it to your majesty. But it is difficult to prove whether this medicine is true or false. Why does my father-in-law think it is real?"

"The Za family has been in the palace since he was a child. His Majesty Taizu personally killed the monster Imperial Master with one sword and stabbed him in the heart. I thought he would definitely die, but not only did he not die, he also laughed and said that he was immortal and immortal. The medicine for destruction has been successfully refined." "Really?" She sounded like her uncle was scaring him, telling her ghost stories when he was a child!
"You will definitely think it's a ghost story!" Liu Zhengyi saw Jiang Sushang's disbelief on his face and knew that Xiao Nizi in front of him was an independent thinker. Just like today's empress, she never listens to what others say, but Look at what that person has done, and then grant appropriate official positions based on what that person has done.

In his heart, the late emperor was a kind and generous king, while the empress was a bold and strategic king.If the empress could live forever, it would be a blessing to the world, so he supported his illness and came here to get medicine for the empress.

In today's world, no one, like the Empress, can possess this medicine.

Jiang Sushang's face turned red when she told her the central idea: "Father-in-law, you were young at the time, so you may have made mistakes."

"Then you must have heard stories when you were a kid about weird people picking hearts and not dying." Liu Zhengyi did not refute, but changed his way of saying this. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought it was a fantasy.

"Well, I heard from my uncle. He said that there was a monster named Lan, who had his heart removed but survived. He wandered around at night and specialized in picking the hearts and livers of children. I asked my uncle why he didn't pick the hearts of adults. My uncle said, Children's hearts are pure and delicious. In fact, he just wanted to trick me into sleeping." Jiang Sushang didn't take it seriously. Adults often make up stories to coax children to sleep well, eat well, and stop running around.

"The stories all have prototypes. Lan's prototype is the important national master. He cut open the heart himself and showed it to His Majesty Taizu. His Majesty Taizu couldn't hold the sword in his hand at that time. Taizu ordered it to be He was imprisoned, but to his surprise, he took out the jailer's heart and used it as food. Poisoned wine, white silk, and a long sword to kill himself. I was a member of the royal family at the time, and I was lucky enough to see it with my own eyes. Think about it, even a person can live without a heart. , these three kinds of death will not kill him."

"Then he finally..."

"Five horses cut him into pieces. His pregnant wife only picked up his head, and the other parts were picked up by dogs. I think His Majesty Taizu was also afraid that he would not be able to kill him."

Liu Zhengyi fell into memories, his face turned pale, and his memories were not good.He witnessed a strange man die mysteriously.

"I still don't believe it." Jiang Sushang didn't see it with her own eyes, and she didn't want to believe such an outrageous thing.

"Before His Majesty Taizu died, he sent a large number of secret guards to search for the descendants of the demon. The Za family heard with their own ears that His Majesty Taizu wanted people to find the medicine."

"My father-in-law said that I suddenly became curious about that thing."

"Curiosity is a good thing, but what you promised me must be given to His Majesty."

"I'm not interested in immortality."

Liu Zhengyi stuffed a box of tea into Jiang Sushang's hands and got her an umbrella.

Jiang Sushang ran back to the big attic holding an umbrella. When he entered, there was no one on the first floor.

On the contrary, it was the second floor, which was noisy.

Just as Jiang Sushang was about to go upstairs, a person appeared from the corridor on the second floor. It was Xie Qingshu.

"The murderer is there! The murder weapon is hers."
