After crossing, she was forced to become the first assistant

Chapter 131 People from Western Shu
"Qianji Pavilion?" Wei Xingzhi raised his eyebrows.

Qiu Sheng quickly covered his mouth, "I didn't say anything."

Wei Xingzhi snorted coldly, "Are you sure there are no foreign thieves in Qianji Pavilion?"

"Absolutely not. This subordinate can guarantee it with his life." Qiu Sheng said solemnly.

Wei Xingzhi put his hands behind his back, "Then logically, no one should know about this blueprint."

"No." Qiu Sheng suddenly remembered something, "My lord, when you visited the emperor aggressively last time, your subordinates and Xia Feng were not with the emperor. These blueprints were sent back to the imperial study by Li Duobao."

"Li Duobao?" Wei Xingzhi squinted.

Qiu Sheng paused, "But Li Duobao has been with the emperor since he was a child, and has always been loyal to the emperor. His subordinates will never believe that he will betray the emperor."

Wei Xingzhi squinted his eyes slightly, Li Duobao was simple and honest, and was very loyal to Wan Qiqian, but he was innocent and serious in doing things, but he was too credulous to others.

"Qiu Sheng, you can ask Li Duobao later if he met anyone special when he returned to the imperial study with the blueprint."

"Yes." Qiu Sheng replied, "Then shall we go to interrogate the assassin now?"

"Of course." Wei Xingzhi replied, "Let's go."

Qiusheng watched Wei Xingzhi walk towards the door, "My lord, where are you going?"

"Department of Punishment." Wei Xingzhi looked at him suspiciously. Where would the interrogator go if he didn't go to the Department of Punishment?

Qiu Sheng coughed twice, "Not there."

"Ok?"

Qiu Sheng walked to the door, twisted a plain bead, and then the bookshelf moved, revealing a small door.

"Before the emperor passed out, he ordered us to cooperate with you. This is the secret room set up by the emperor in the imperial study." Qiu Sheng went in first and lit a candle.

The corner of Wei Xingzhi's mouth twitched, and he followed in. Unexpectedly, there was such an underground secret room in the imperial study.

It's just that she just walked in, and the sight in front of her really surprised her. Is this a secret room?

Isn't this the kitchen?

There is a basket of radishes and cabbage, ice cubes for fish and beef, a chopping board and a kitchen knife, and a complete set of pots and pans.

"This?"

Qiu Sheng swallowed, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty sometimes can't get used to it... Ahem, it's your lord who said you want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs, boiled fish fillets... Your Majesty has created a kitchen right here. "

"When did I say I want to eat..." Wei Xingzhi's words came to an abrupt end.

She remembered that during those days when she lived in Chengqian Palace, the meals Wan Qiqian served were indeed different from those in the palace. Those meals were too common for her, so she didn't realize that something was wrong.

"All the things I ate were made for me?"

Qiu Sheng nodded, "That's right."

Wei Xingzhi's mood was a little complicated for a moment.

Qiu Sheng pushed open a secret door in the kitchen. After passing through the kitchen, Wei Xingzhi smelled a faint scent of pine wood from the underground secret room. Rows of bookshelves were lined with historical files and some confidential summaries.

Going further away is the cage where important thieves are held.

Inside the iron gate, two men in black were covered with blood, their face scarves were removed, and their scarlet eyes were full of murderous intent. They sat in the corner, heard footsteps, and slowly raised their heads to glance at Wei Xingzhi.

"Who sent you here?" Wei Xingzhi cut to the chase.

The two men in black looked down at the ground, the poison beads between their teeth were taken away, all the sharp weapons on their bodies were gone, and they were also paralyzed, and it was difficult to even lift their arms, let alone hit the wall and died up.

Wei Xingzhi glanced at Qiusheng.

Qiusheng unlocked the chain, Wei Xingzhi walked over, squatted in front of the two, and looked at the faces of the two, who looked alike.

"Brother?" Wei Xingzhi raised his eyebrows.

The other party still didn't answer.

Wei Xingzhi chuckled, and started to pick up his clothes.

Qiu Sheng stared like copper bells, and hurried over, "Master Wei, what are you doing?"

"What are you doing?" Wei Xingzhi squinted at him, "Take off your clothes, can't you tell?"

"You're a woman, it's not appropriate for you to pick up other people's clothes, I'll come, I'll come, you rest." Qiu Sheng stood in front of the two men in black, "This subordinate knows what you want to do, don't you just want to see them?" If there are any special marks on the two of them, you turn around and come down to see."

Wei Xingzhi glanced at Qiusheng in disgust.

The two men in black seemed to be suddenly relieved, but when they heard Qiu Sheng's purpose, their expressions became tense again.

Qiu Sheng stripped people naked, and as expected, they all had auspicious cloud marks on their chests.

"It's from Xishu."

Wei Xingzhi turned around and looked calmly at the two naked men, "How do you say that?"

Qiu Sheng said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency, you don't know that the ancestors of Xishu thought that they were the incarnation of Xiangyun, who could bring auspiciousness to the world. Therefore, Xiangyun is also the representative of the royal family of Xishu. His subordinates once fought against the dark guards of Xishu. , They all have such a mark on their chests, which cannot be removed, even if this piece of flesh is gouged out, unless the bones are visible, they will have to carry it with them for the rest of their lives."

If it is branded in this kind of place, if you see the bones, you will definitely die.

"People from Xishu..." Wei Xingzhi bowed his head and looked down at the two of them, "Is there a thief from Xishu in the palace?"

They didn't answer.

Wei Xingzhi asked again, "The internal thief hides very deeply, and his background is not small?"

The two met Wei Xingzhi's eyes and hurriedly avoided them.

Wei Xingzhi pursed his lips, "Your action last night was for the blueprint of the imperial study."

"Those blueprints are already on their way back to Xishu?"

"Is it an official road? A small road in the western suburbs? A mountain road? A waterway? Or a commercial road?"

"Do you have any associates in the palace?"

After asking several questions, Wei Xingzhi stood up straight, turned his back and stepped out of the iron gate.

"Qiu Sheng, investigate all the people in the palace, and arrest all suspicious persons and send them to the Department of Punishment. Pay attention to those who are in high positions in the palace. Now they are chasing people in Xishu by water, and order all plank roads to be blocked."

Qiu Sheng and the two men in black stared wide-eyed.

They obviously didn't say anything, how could she know that their people were traveling by water?

"My lord, my lord, how do you know that the other party is going by water?"

Wei Xingzhi clasped his hands behind his back, "There will be a slight expression on a person's face. When he is lying, his eyes will move to the upper left corner unconsciously. When he says what he thinks in his heart, his pupils will unconsciously dilate. These are called micro-expressions, and I don’t know much about them, but asking a few questions is enough.”

"Micro-expressions?" Qiu Sheng secretly gave Wei Xingzhi a thumbs up, which is great.

They have been training for so long, and they have never heard of micro-expressions.

When Wei Xingzhi returned to Chengqian Palace, Zhou Han was standing in the corner, Fu Lianzi was guarding by the bed, and Li Duobao was waiting beside him.

Fearing that the people in the palace would be unclean, Wei Xingzhi only ordered a few honest maids to wait outside the palace.

Li Huaiyin gave Wan Qiqian another injection, but there was still no sign of waking up.

"Master Wei."

Wei Xingzhi hummed, and his eyes shifted to Wan Chengqian, "How is the emperor?"
