The Peerless Demon of Martial Arts

Chapter 656 Returning to the palace to investigate the case
Pu Daoxing held back his words, but he thought to himself, the waiter in this shop is doomed.

Li Tianxing picked up a chopstick dish for him: "Master Pu, eat quickly, don't you have an appetite?"

"Long live such an arrangement, is it intended to lock up the minister?"

Li Tianxing hummed: "A few ordinary people casually talk about court officials, can it be taken seriously? You don't have to worry about it, Mr. Pu, let's drink."

Pu Daoxing's mood was still tense: "Your Majesty, I feel a little uncomfortable, and I want to go back to rest first."

After the man left, Xingran didn't understand Li Tianxing's meaning: "It's just such a greedy guy, why didn't you just lock him up and let him leave like that, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?"

"To catch a thief is to catch the stolen goods. Just a few words will kill him. This is too childish."

"But...you have a way to grasp his shortcoming?"

If it is a fox, it is impossible not to have a bad taste. Since it is a corrupt official, the lives of the people must be difficult.Li Tianxing issued a document, asking the local people to come forward with the opinions of the imperial court, and all of them were anonymous.

In the first three days, there was not a single person writing. Li Tianxing asked people to paste the notices on the papers to the brother place outside the city, and ordered all the officers and soldiers not to go out. The people in the province were afraid when they saw them.Needless to say, this trick really worked. In just five days, the notice wrote a lot of comments on the court.

Because it is anonymous, so there is nowhere to check if you want to.

There are a lot of miscellaneous things about taxes, money and food, and more about the behavior of Pu Dao Xing Yurou Township. As the governor of a province, he can make the people hate him so much that he cannot forgive him.

Li Tianxing asked Pu Daoxing to be escorted into the lobby: "You have seen all these criminal evidences, what else can you say?"

"I have nothing to say." Pu Daoxing raised his eyebrows: "I cheated the people, and I deserve to die. This is the law of the imperial court, and I should be unlucky. But what about you? You are the commander of Tiance Guard under Emperor Daxing, Since you eat the king's salary, you should know how to repay it, but you have disregarded the court's etiquette, lost your conscience, and killed the emperor Daxing. Now you are stealing Longting. How can a person like you be worthy of being an emperor? It's just a joke."

Li Tianxing clapped his hands for him: "You are right, yes, I will do this wicked person. I will kill you now to appease the anger of the people. Come on, detain me and show it to the public for three days."

Li Tianxing knew what kind of role he played, but it was necessary.A man will never do something that makes himself regret, and he will do it if he does it, but he wants to be ashamed of his heart.

The night before the execution, the imperial court sent another court report, and this time it was the turn of the Suzhou-Hangzhou area.If this continues, there will never be a chance to return to the capital.

"It was intentional." Xing Ran said.

Li Tianxing could have thought of this a long time ago: "Send a message saying that we are going to Suzhou, but we will leave quietly and return to the capital. I really want to see who is always giving me problems."

As soon as the news of going to Suzhou came out, the two of them went to the capital that night and hurried on.

Inside the Tianxiameng, Wudi paid close attention to the sword, and Juetian came in from outside: "Master, the news has spread, it's going to Suzhou."

"Then it's not going to Suzhou." Invincible said lightly: "With Li Tianxing's wisdom, how can he not guess the problem of this court report. The matter is only three, so he must be vigilant. Now that he knows something is wrong, don't It will let people know my whereabouts, and if I say clearly that I am going to Suzhou, then I must have returned to the capital."

Juetian said: "Do we need to kill all those who have the 'strange disease'?"

Wudi said: "I brought this medicine from Dongpu, it is not available in the Central Plains, so you should be more careful. You immediately use Verdyceps to make those people drink it. After drinking this, Li Tianxing will not be able to tell who gave it the medicine. "

"Then... where are the officials of the imperial court? The commander of Jinyiwei knows a lot about us."

"It doesn't matter." Wudi is not worried about this: "If you betray us, his end will be a dead end. He knows this better than me. Li Tianxing will be back soon. You should go to work immediately and be quick."

Li Tianxing rushed to the capital and flew into the palace gate.Being an emperor is the only one who has done this. He and Xingran went directly to the harem, where it was very deserted, only a few oil lamps were lit in the eunuch's room.

Flying down to the eaves, Li Tianxing grabbed an eunuch's neck with one hand: "Where is the person?"

"Who—" The eunuch took a closer look, and his legs softened: "The emperor...the emperor? The slave deserves death, and the slave is guilty."

"Let me ask you, why are there lights in your house in this place? What's the matter with those concubines?"

The eunuch said: "Your Majesty, a plague broke out in the palace recently, and many empresses were infected with serious diseases. Many people died in just one or two days."

"Then my two personal attendants, have you seen them?"

This is about the purple-winged bat and puppet, the eunuch shook his head and said he had never seen it.

At Li Tianxing's request, the eunuch led him to see the corpses, many of which had not been buried.The concubines in the harem were not taken care of by the emperor, so naturally even the eunuchs looked down on them, no different from the women in the cold palace.It's dead, and no one cares about the body.

Push open a door, and the stench hits your face.

The eunuchs were afraid and did not dare to approach, and there were flies on the corpse.

Li Tianxing slapped it with his hands, and saw that the woman's face, hands, and neck were covered with wrinkles. The skin had already festered like this. It wouldn't be as terrible as the plague, even if it was cholera, it couldn't kill people like this. awful.

"Did any imperial doctor see them?" Xing Ran asked.

The eunuch replied: "No, these concubines who have fallen out of favor and have no masters don't even have anyone to take care of them. The palace has limited manpower, and we just obey the orders of the father-in-law and serve the people who should be served."

Li Tianxing got a silver needle, stuck it into the corpse's throat, took it out, the silver needle turned black, it was poisoned.

Xingran leaned forward: "It's poisonous, they really didn't have the plague. But the palace is so heavily guarded, who would poison the palace?"

Wait, when the two of them first came here, they only saw that there were no lights in more than 30 houses in this yard, but the other yards were lit.The plague will not only happen in one yard.

"Hey." Li Tianxing called the eunuch over: "Tell me, is the plague only in this courtyard?"

"The Emperor Shengming is indeed only in this courtyard."

There have been battles in the palace since ancient times, but these concubines lost the favor of Emperor Wen, and it was impossible for them to fight over each other.

After Li Tianxing became emperor, they all became ownerless women, and fighting was useless.Therefore, cannibalism is the most unlikely thing.Then...there is only one possibility, outsiders come to poison.

According to the eunuch, usually no one enters the palace, at most, the maids and eunuchs pass by and bring in something.

There are too many possibilities. Maybe someone arranged for eunuchs and maids to murder them. Water, soil, and food are all likely to cause germs.
