Chapter 451 The Key
(The title is renamed, this is also a new chapter)
The conversation between Shan Tao and Zhuo Yang made him grasp the most critical thing.

The corpse under the Suzaku Bridge!
If the prisoner really wants to refine the "Pill of Immortality" according to Yuan Tiangang's method, then the most important thing is the "Pill Furnace".

That is the female body tied under the Suzaku Bridge!
Shan Tao suddenly understood why the female corpse found by Jing Gongfang was randomly abandoned on the side of the road.

But the corpse under the Zhuque Bridge was seriously dealt with and tied up under the Zhuque Bridge.

It turns out that for the murderer, Jing Gongfang's corpse is just an "alchemy material" that can be discarded casually, but the corpse under Zhuque Bridge is the precious alchemy furnace.

It turned out that I was going in the wrong direction!
Wait, where is the body under the Suzaku bridge now?
Shan Tao suddenly woke up, and the body found under the Zhuque Bridge that day was transported to Jing Zhaoyin's workshop.

and many more!

Jing Zhaoyin Cui Guangyuan was originally a villain with both ends of the head. If these murders were really related to the East Palace, then Jing Zhaoyin's soft bones would definitely hand over the corpse.

Shan Tao immediately picked up the saber, and while sending messages to other players, he said:
"Let's go! Go to Jing Zhaoyin's room!"

Shan Tao immediately led his men to Jingzhao Yin's Mansion in Xinghuafang.

In Jingzhaoyin's mansion, a black-armored general with his face covered was facing Cui Guangyuan, the fourth-rank Jingzhaoyin, but he just said indifferently:
"With the armor on, I can only salute. Please forgive me, Da Yin!"

Jing Zhaoyin Cui Guangyuan said flatteringly: "General Wu Zhonglang is too polite, do you still need General Zhonglang to come in person for such a trivial matter? You only need to post a sticker, and the house will naturally send things to your house."

Cui Guangyuan, Jing Zhaoyin, the double material of Datang and Puppet Yan, although he is smooth and fickle, he is very accurate in judging the current situation, and he can always benefit from jumping left and right.

But there is actually a big reason why Cui Guangyuan jumped left and right like this, that is, he has no backing.

Jing Zhaoyin is already a senior member of the fourth grade, but Cui Guangyuan wants to go further, so he can't rely on being an official.

Also because of his repeated jumping behavior, Cui Guangyuan was disgusted by the important officials of the court, and he had no backing in the Zhengshitang.

Now the emperor and important court officials are still in Fengxiang Mansion. If the emperor returns to Chang'an without backing, this Jing Zhaoyin will easily be punished and relegated because of his poor handling of affairs.

And if you do things well, you can't do it well. With so many dignitaries in the court, if you offend someone by governing Chang'an too harshly, you will also end up relegated.

The general in black armor in front of him is Donggong Youwei leading Zhonglang General Wu Cou, and this Wu Zhonglang will take away the female corpse of Jing Zhaoyin in the future.

If it was another case, Cui Guangyuan would have handed over the body to Wu Cou directly.

However, the case of hiding the corpse under the Zhuque Bridge is not trivial, and it is a case that both the ruling and opposition parties pay attention to.

If the body was handed over to Wu Cou now, Cui Guangyuan would have no way to explain to the court.

Although he wanted to please the prince, Cui Guangyuan still had to ask one more question:
"I don't know what relationship Wu Zhonglang will have with this victim?"

Cui Guangyuan was also biting the bullet. Donggong came to ask for the body. If it was the past, he would have beaten him to death and would not have asked much. However, the government and the public have paid attention to this case. If Donggong was asked to take the body directly, then Cui Guangyuan would have no way to explain it.

Wu Cou squinted at Cui Guangyuan, the right guard of the Eastern Palace led the Zhonglang General, a military officer of the fourth rank, and the leader of the Prince's most respected Eastern Palace Guard. Although Cui Guangyuan's qualifications were higher than his own, Wu Cou belonged to the Prince. The confidant doesn't like this Jing Zhaoyin who has a bad reputation.

Wu Chun took out the speech he had prepared long ago and said:
"The deceased is the maidservant of Huanxi in the Eastern Palace, who disappeared half a month ago."

Cui Guangyuan said: "A few days ago, when the Jingzhao Mansion posted a notice asking people to claim the corpse, why didn't the East Palace send anyone to claim it?"

After Cui Guangyuan finished speaking, Wu Min snorted coldly again, and the armor all over his body shook.

Cui Guangyuan trembled in fright, regretting why he asked this question so much.

But Wu Cou still answered Cui Guangyuan's question:
"There are so many servants and maidservants in the Eastern Palace, and no one will take it seriously if one is missing. But a few days ago, Dou Changshi heard the steward's report and thought of the notice from the Jingzhao Mansion, so he sent someone to inquire, and it turned out that he disappeared. That maid is the corpse under the Suzaku Bridge."

"But people are from the East Palace, and this case is raging again. Dou Changshi just didn't let us come to collect the body."

"The case has passed in the past few days, and Dou Changshi let us come here. After all, he is also a member of the East Palace, so we can't always leave it in the office. It's better to go to the ground for peace."

"The crown prince specifically asked about this matter, and said that the servants of the Eastern Palace should not be chilled. He specially allocated money to let us buy a cemetery outside the city, so that this poor man can have a shelter after death."

Then Wu Cou said: "His Royal Highness is benevolent."

Cui Guangyuan also said hastily: "His Royal Highness is benevolent! It is really a blessing for me in the Tang Dynasty."

Wu Cou moved the prince out, and Cui Guangyuan was ready to let go.

Although he has been Jing Zhaoyin for many years, he also knows that it is strange that Donggong suddenly wants to mention the corpse.

But this kind of matter involves the prince, and he doesn't want to ask more questions to get himself burned.

Cui Guangyuan let go so easily, Wu Min glanced at him and said:
"It's convenient for Cui Dafu to go today, and the East Palace will report it in the future!"

Cui Guangyuan was immediately overjoyed, and Wu made a show of favor. Could it be that the prince showed his favor to him?

Being able to jump back and forth between Dayan and Datang, Cui Guangyuan naturally has a sense of political acumen.

He also keenly felt the connection between Donggong and this case.

Wu Cou's overture was not only to get Jingzhao Mansion to hand over the body to them, but also to let Cui Guangyuan suppress the case.

Cui Guangyuan happened to have no backer, and the prince's favor gave him a chance.

Cui Guangyuan immediately promised: "Please tell the prince Zhonglang, Cui will definitely do the job well."

It was only then that Wu Cou looked at Cui Guangyuan squarely, as expected, those who could achieve the fourth rank were not just for nothing.

Cui Guangyuan had already expressed his opinion to the prince without saying anything.

Wu Cou nodded, put on the black armor, picked up the voucher written by Cui Guangyuan, and walked towards Wu Zuofang.

Cui Guangyuan walked up and down in the study excitedly.

Crisis and opportunity coexist!
The murder case of the corpse hidden in Zhuqueqiao is a case that can affect Cui Guangyuan's official career.

But if the matter involves the prince, it doesn't matter if his official career is hindered if he can get in touch with the prince through this case.

The current emperor's health is not very good. As long as the prince can succeed to the throne, he can go further with the merits of this time!
Although I don't know why the Prince's Mansion was involved in such a murder case, Cui Guangyuan, an old man in the officialdom, knows very well, don't ask about things that shouldn't be asked!
Wu Cou led the people and quickly came to the office behind Jingzhao Mansion.

The Wuzuojian is a place to store corpses, and it is also the most exhausting and dirtiest work in the entire Jingzhao Mansion.

Old Wangtou, the yamen servant who was guarding the Wuzuo room, was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground when he saw Wu Cou in black armor and the murderous soldiers behind him.

When he saw Fu Yin's warrant, the old Wang was also in a dilemma.

The murder case is not over yet, and the body will be handed over to irrelevant people.

Dong Gong only said that the corpse was a maid from their house, but did not produce any evidence.

Doing so is definitely not in line with the rules, and even violated Tang's law.

But with the governor's warrant, the old king's first small yamen servant guarding Wu Zuo's room, how can he fight against the majestic General Zhonglang of the East Palace.

However, Jing Zhaoyin Cui Guangyuan, a slippery old fox, did not officially issue the government office's writing, but used a private warrant to issue orders.

If this really happened and it was investigated, then the unlucky one must be the old Wang who is directly in charge of the work room.

Old Wangtou only felt that people were sitting in the yamen, and the pot came from the sky, and he dared not hand over the corpse to Wu Chun.

At this time, Shan Tao and his men rushed to the workshop.

"Old Wangtou, where's the body of the Zhuque Bridge case? Be careful!"

When the old Wangtou heard Shan Tao's shout, his face became even more ugly, and he winked at Shan Tao hastily.

Shan Tao was so anxious that he didn't even look at the old Wang's expression, and rushed directly to the work room.

At this moment, Wu Cou also saw Shan Tao rushing towards him. He stared at Shan Tao who was wearing worn-out armor, and his hand was already on the handle of the knife.

Old Wangtou was also a vigilant person, he immediately shouted to Shan Tao: "Street Patrol Envoy, these people are from the East Palace, they are here to collect the corpse from Zhuque Bridge!"

When Old Wangtou shouted, Shan Tao woke up immediately.

People from the East Palace!

He immediately drew out his saber, and the bad guys behind him also drew out their knives.

This case really has something to do with Donggong!
Wu Cou didn't expect that such a mere street patrol envoy would react so quickly, so decisively, so boldly, and even dared to draw his sword when he heard that he was from the Eastern Palace.

He also didn't expect those bad people to be able to work hard with this street patroller.

Of course Wu Chun didn't know how much Shan Tao had done to win the hearts of his subordinates during this time, and now the bad guys in the three workshops all follow Shan Tao wholeheartedly.

Wu Cou originally wanted to keep a low profile, so he only brought four of his subordinates with him.

Although all the elites were brought in, compared to the dozens of bad guys behind Shan Tao, the number of them was really inferior.

And the Shan Tao in front of him is full of oppression, not like an ordinary general at all.

Shan Tao said: "According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, the case is not closed. No one can take away anything related to the case. This corpse is the key evidence of the whole case. How can you just take it away!"

Shan Tao looked at Wu Min angrily, and the other party took out Cui Guangyuan's warrant, and Shan Tao said again:

"The governor's warrant is no bigger than Tang Law! The corpse cannot be taken away!"
