Yes, I'm terrified of thinking about it.

His look and attitude made Murongci's heart bewildered, "Actually, this palace is about to tell you...I just returned to the east palace soon..."

Murong Yu Shen Ning said: "At this time, I don’t know if any of the people in the Imperial Capital take Afurong ointment, but it is certain that there are not only Zhuang Qin and Gan Taizu who smoked in the capital. What the king wants to know is that they are spontaneous. To smoke, someone deliberately induces them to smoke."

"Someone deliberately induced..." She opened her eyes in horror. If someone deliberately induced it, it would be terrible.

"The king will send someone to investigate secretly, who Zhuang Qin and Gan Taizu had contact with and befriended before and after taking Afurong ointment. As soon as there is news from the Dali Temple, immediately report to this king."

She nodded, "It's better to do a large-scale investigation among all the Beijing officials, but I can't find a clever reason."

His eyes were slightly cold, "How to troubleshoot?"

"Hundreds of Beijing officials are carried out in batches. For example, today, when the three officials are gathered in the hall, they are very addicted to taking Afurong ointment. They must be taken every day, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable. Therefore, if you close them overnight, you can see It's strange."

"It's not right, the movement is too loud, it will startle the snake and let the lawless people who secretly sell the Afurong ointment get news."

"I can't think of other ways."

"This Wang Guang dispatched manpower to follow in the Beijing official's study after Haishi, and proceed in batches."

"It's more secretive, is it just that there are so many people?"

"His Royal Highness can't believe in this king?"

"The prince's ability, this palace can naturally trust it." Murong Ci squinted and smiled, but he was fake. "Which Beijing officials have been found after taking Afurong ointment? How to deal with it?"

"According to the law, sins cannot be forgiven." Murong Yu's thick eyebrows are like a sharp sword out of a sheath, cold and cold.

"By the way, what did the military inspector find?" She asked again, knowing that he also sent someone to the tunnel exit to wait and see.

"Wan Fang and Wang Tao are very vigilant, and it is estimated that there will be no action in the near future." He suddenly raised his eyes and fixedly looked at her, "His Royal Highness found what?"

"The prince has so many eyes and ears that I can't find it, how can I find it out?" She smiled slightly.

"If you find anything, don't act arbitrarily, and report to this king immediately." He solemnly exhorted.

"My palace remembers. There are many things, the prince should go back and deploy first." She smiled.

"His Royal Highness bit so **** the king's shoulder, it still hurts a little, you see if it is bleeding." Murong Yu suddenly curled the corners of his lips, seemingly smiling.

"The prince should still go back and let the maidservant have a look." Murongci's lips twitched, and he walked out happily, but a row of clear, reddish teeth on the jade-white shoulders appeared in his mind after biting the jade-white shoulder. To the prince."

He watched her run away numbly and smiled.

...

In the afternoon of the next day, Murongci received news from Dali Temple.

The yamen arranged by Dali Temple to watch in Qingyang Lane discovered that the man wearing a veil hat was trading with people. When they paid the money in one hand and delivered the goods with the other, the yamen immediately flew forward and captured the people.

The yakuza took the man back to the Dali Temple for detention. Shen Zhiyan went to the cell for interrogation immediately, but the man's mouth was so stiff that he did not confide a word even after the two types of torture.

Murongci hurried to Dali Temple, and Gu Huai and Shen Zhiyan came out to greet them. She told them to go to the cell immediately without much courtesy.

"Uncle Wang is right. The man is five feet four inches tall and looks ordinary, so I can't tell where he is." Shen Zhiyan said as he walked.

"The mouth is so hard, it takes extraordinary means." She smiled coldly.

Unlike the prison of the Ministry of Justice, which specializes in accommodating felons, the cells in Dali Temple are several rooms that have been remodeled to retain the characteristics of the rooms. They are all separate rooms with solid walls.

They walked into the spacious cell, the man was tied to a wooden frame, and his limbs were locked with huge iron locks.

The air was filled with weird blood, and it lasted for a long time. Murongci frowned slightly and looked at the man. The man drooped his head and couldn't see his face. The gray robe on his body was already in tatters and couldn't cover his body. His body was covered with splatter marks, and the burning iron was branded with black marks, and his skin was scorched black. ,shocking.

He seemed to hear the movement, and his head slightly lifted, but soon he drooped.

"Really didn't spit out a word?"

She asked coldly, looking at the person who sold Afurong ointment, burning with anger.

Let A Furong anoint the imperial court, 10,000 deaths, 50,000 corpses, and thousands of cuts are not enough to vent his hatred.

"The bones are very hard." Shen Zhiyan said bitterly.

"Since his bones are so hard, then break his bones to pieces." Murongci seemed to smile.

"Good idea." He sneered sneerly. "Later, I will find someone with great internal skills to break his bones."

"But before the bones are broken, I still want to do something interesting."

"what is the matter?"

"Pour bee water on his wound, and the ants in the cell smelled the fragrance, crawling on his wound." Her smile was bright and sweet, but it made the scalp numb for no reason, and felt a tingle in her back. The wind whispered, "By the way, you can also sprinkle some salt on the wound. I don't know what it's like."

"This is a great idea. Come with the bee water, salt and bone crusher." Shen Zhiyan said in cooperation, "I feel excited when I think about it. The scene must be interesting and fun."

The man tied to the wooden frame trembled because of fear, and the crisp sound of iron chains was so clear in the silent cell.

Murongci smiled crookedly, "You are not from the North Yan country, are you from the East Chu country or from the South Vietnamese country?"

There was a dead silence.

The messy hair hung in front of his forehead, hiding his expression.

The opened eyes flickered slightly.

She smiled softly, "It doesn't matter if you don't speak, since you can be caught, your comrades and people above will be caught soon. Zhiyan, prepare salt and bee water."

Shen Zhiyan replied: "Okay."

"You don't want to get a word from me!"

The man raised his head and said, as if he was about to crush his teeth.

In the next instant, he bit down hard, and Shen Zhiyan was taken aback and rushed forward quickly.

However, it was too late.

The man bit his tongue and committed suicide because he didn't want to confide a secret because he couldn't stand the torture. He was indeed a diehard.

Shen Zhiyan looked at her and said helplessly: "The clue is broken again."

Murongci looked cold and asked, "Who is he trading with?"

"The Ya Ya took the man back to Dali Temple by the way. That man was the servant of the rich and wealthy Li family in the city. He said that he was ordered by his master to go to Qingyang Alley to buy Afurong ointment."

"Go to Li's house!"

She walked out in a hurry, he also thought of this crucial point, and hurriedly chased it out.

The two rode fast horses to the mansion of the rich man in the city. She remembered that Zhaohua had a fight in the Phoenix Building not long ago, and the one who fell in love with Zhaohua was Li Gongzi of the Li family.

When they arrived at Li's Mansion, the two of them declared their identities and forcibly broke in.

The housekeeper yelled and followed behind, and many of the servants watched them forcibly breaking into the houses with a dazed expression.

Shen Zhiyan and Murongci went straight into the backyard study, and the butler repeatedly explained: "The master is not in the house. He left half an hour ago."

Murongci motioned to Shen Zhiyan, he knew it, and kicked the door of the study room.

"Even if you are the officials of Dali Temple, you can't do this. My master doesn't break the law." The butler yelled angrily, rushing to the ground.

"Your master had better go out, otherwise it will be your Li family's disaster." She condensed with bright eyes, and her expression was clear.

"This..." The butler hit her sharp gaze and lowered his head in awe.

Shen Zhiyan broke in, she followed in.

There are also two Li's study rooms inside and outside. The outside study room is in order, with no signs of fighting or struggling. The inner room is spacious with a bamboo couch.

There was a person lying on the bamboo couch, lying sideways, bleeding from his seven orifices, and his death was terrible.

Shen Zhiyan walked over slowly, stretched out his hand to probe the man's breath, "Dead."

Murongci's heart became heavier, and another one died, but I don't know if Master Li was poisoned and died.

"Ah...Master...Master...What's the matter?" The butler threw on the couch, crying in sorrow, "Master is dead...Master is dead..."

"Master Li also smokes Afurong cream." She picked up the carved gold box on the small table, opened it and smelled it, "It's Afurong cream, but it's already used up."

"Look at the position of the smoking gun, it should be that Master Li was killed while smoking." Shen Zhiyan looked at the smoking gun near the deceased's head with a heavy expression.

"My master was murdered... My lord, you want to avenge my master..." The housekeeper begged in tears.

"You get out of the way first, the officer must examine your elder's body, so that we can find evidence of the murderer's murder." Shen Zhiyan said, this time without gloves, he can only check with his bare hands.

The housekeeper stepped back, wiping away his tears sadly, and Murong resigned, "Go and inform your wife as soon as possible."

The steward was relieved and went quickly.

She stood in the middle of the inner room, looking around, "How did Master Li die?"

Shen Zhiyan said as he checked: "The deceased was about fifty years old, with excess body temperature, and died for almost an hour. He lay on his side, bleeding from his seven orifices, and there were no scars on the surface of the body..."

She walked to the window, the sash was ajar, and there was a faint shoe print on the window sill.

The flowers and trees outside the window are sparse, green and lush, suitable for hiding and fleeing.

"His Royal Highness, Master Li was not poisoned to death by taking too much Afurong ointment." Shen Zhiyan said flatly.

"How did that die?" Murong Ci walked over and asked.

"If I guessed correctly, it should have been slapped with a palm, and the viscera was broken and died." He lifted the deceased's robe, "Look, there are faint palm prints on his chest."

"The murderer had a deep inner strength and killed Master Li with a single palm. Master Li should have seen the murderer come in at the time, and there was no struggle, there was no trace of fighting in the house." She wondered, "Could it be that Master Li and the murderer knew each other?"

"There is another possibility. When the murderer came in, Master Li was smoking Afurong ointment. It was a moment of ecstasy and soul wandering, and no one came in. The murderer slapped him and he was awake, but soon He died, there was no room for struggle at all."
