"Proclaim the decree?" Shang Wen's right hand twisted the back of his left hand, the corner of his mouth twitched, he stood up quickly, raised his cuffs, and then led everyone to the door to receive the decree. "Cao Min Shang Wen received the order..." Everyone knelt down together, and Shang Wen, who enjoyed the privilege of not having to kneel even when he saw the emperor, bent over and stood in the middle.

Ding Yi saw the majestic Dugu City leading the crowd standing outside the gate, all of them with sabers on their waists, their chests held high, and when their eyes swept across, the spark of hatred burst out as soon as they met Dugu City, but their expressions changed only for a moment.

Dugucheng looked at Ding Yi with a calm face, spread out the imperial decree, and read in a low voice: "By God, the emperor ordered that Shang Wen was given a royal pen and a thousand altars of fine wine for his meritorious service in assisting in the investigation of the murder of the god operator. Thousands of silks and satins..." At the same time, Dugu City glanced from the corner of the eye, its breath scattered, and sensed the defense of the Shang Mansion, and now it was as expected, Shang Wen sent a large number of troops because of his treasure, and the defense of the mansion was weak, so he wanted to be tough and tempt .

"It's just a trivial matter. The emperor sent Zhen Guogong to announce the decree to reward him so vigorously. He may have other purposes besides seeing the status of our business!" Shang Wen thought to himself, then reached out to receive the decree: "Thank you, Lord En!" The others then stood up.

"Master Shang, the emperor personally sent me to reward you this time. I requested it on behalf of the emperor. I just hope that you, my lord, don't remember the fault of a villain, and don't worry about the fact that the dog ran into the Baicao village you once belonged to." Dugu City handed over the imperial decree, and whispered in his ear, with a sinister smile that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.

"Mr. Zhen Guo begged for merit for me, and interceded face to face, and the investigation of Baicao Village is to catch the real murderer. I, Shang Wen, will not argue with Mr. Dugu!" Shang Wen accepted the imperial decree, and then extended his hand to invite: "Zhen Guo Duke, since you have come to the humble house, why not sit down and talk..."

"Master Shang, don't be in a hurry, I still have an imperial decree to announce!" Dugu Cheng glanced at Ding Yi, Long Er and Dongfang Yun from the corner of his eyes, took another imperial decree from the Yang Zun envoy next to him, and spread it out: " Blessed by heaven, the emperor summoned and said, according to the investigation, when the princess lived in Baicaozhuang, there was a night attack by killers from the gate of life and death. assist investigation!"

"The grassroots obey!" Shang Wen accepted the order, thinking that this matter would not be that simple.Afterwards, Dugucheng said again: "According to the investigation by the imperial envoy sent by the emperor, the assassination of the princess was carried out by the Gate of Life and Death. The Patriarch of the Dongfang Family, Dongfang Yun, is taking people to arrest him now!"

"Dugu City is really ruthless. First use the help of the investigation of the magic fortune teller to reward me and stop my mouth, and then pull me to investigate the assassination of the princess. Now I will plant Ding Yi, Longer, and Patriarch Dongfang. Although the business is strong, it is not easy to help it out in the open... But Dingyi is hard for me to know myself, how can I just let it go..." Shang Wen hesitated in his heart, and slowly stood up straight. At this time, Shang Wanquan came over and said : "Master, I just received the letter from Feiying. Your treasure is on a mission. The Shang Zhonggeng and others sent out are dealing with the matter, but there is a handle in Dugu City's hands. If we don't cooperate, the consequences will be severe." It's hard to predict."

"My baby... oh...my son died early, he can't have any more accidents! Dante also wants to save..." Shang Wentai's expression of not moving before the landslide was actually moved, and he clenched his fists tightly , After half a moment, he calmed down again, raised his head and replied: "Mr. Zhen, since the imperial envoy has found out the results of the investigation, why don't you let him produce evidence and come to arrest the person himself?"

"Master Shang, the imperial envoys have gone after the clues to the Gate of Life and Death, and I will handle it here. As for the evidence, since Tianji, Jiantong, and Dongfang Yun are all highly skilled in martial arts, if they show it now, they may be destroyed on the spot! For the sake of safety, it cannot be shown until the final court." Dugu Cheng stood with his hands behind his back.

"Oh? Is that so?" Shang Wen said calmly, with his hands crossed in front of his lower abdomen.

"Yes! If Mr. Shang doesn't believe it, I can give some logical evidence. As far as I know, there are still couplets from the imperial script of the former emperor hanging in the Dongfanghai Pavilion: The Pearl of the Orient Lingling all over the world, and the Haige Temple Xiao Cangyun. Now it is not the same as before. Chao, from this point of view, he was rebellious. Furthermore, the Patriarch Dongfang invited the world's gods and hexagrams to gather in Mufeng City in the name of solving strange hexagrams, but they all died overnight, leaving only the fortune teller and the blind Taoist priest .

After that, the magic operator solved the strange hexagram, which became famous all over the world.But according to my dog's research, the magic operator's name is not true, because he can't solve the strange hexagram of Lizhi that Tianji performed for my Dugu family back then, and if he can really solve the strange hexagram of Qianzhi, one of the eight great strange hexagrams in the world, then The hexagram must be solved.

The fact that the name of the fortune teller does not match the real one is afraid of being exposed and revealing the ulterior motives of Patriarch Dongfang and Tianji, so Patriarch Dongfang deliberately brought the princess and the dog to visit together, and sent someone to deliberately murder.The Patriarch Dongfang went after the killer, but finally returned with success. Then, in the name of searching the whole city, he deliberately drew a portrait of the murderer to show his sincerity, but in private he let the murderer escape. "

As soon as Ding heard this, he became angry from his heart. He knew that what Dugu City said was false, but he could also say that he was a blind Taoist priest, Long Er was a sword boy, and they escaped from Mufeng City with the help of Shang Wen. Otherwise, after speaking out, the case of Divine Fortune was cracked, Tang Yu personally killed the murderer, Dongfang Patriarch testified, Shang Wen assisted in the investigation, and the three people who helped each other would be charged with deceiving the emperor, and he and Long The son is the murderer and the bully, and the crime is added to the crime. In this way, everyone will be suspicious.Ding Yi secretly hated: "Dugu City seems to be kind to others, but inside it is vicious and vicious!"

Shang Wen, Long Er, Dongfang Yun and Ding Yi were in the same heart, and were momentarily at a loss for words.After Dugucheng saw it, he secretly smiled: "I knew you would be like this, but luckily Han'er will report his latest information at any time, so that I can do my best! See how I can kill you this time!"

Dugu City then said: "When Quan'er learned that the murderer had escaped, he chased after Dongfang Patriarch and parted ways on the way. Quan'er chased to Fulu City, searched Baicao Manor and met the Princess, and left under the order of the Princess. But Gou'er felt that something was wrong, so he visited Baicao Village at night, and found that the princess' visit to Baicao Village was actually attracted by the secret of pretending to be seriously ill."

"Duke Zhen, the young master went to Baicao Village for treatment because he was seriously ill, and the princess came here from Mufeng City, not the young master! Don't come here to frame me!" Long Er thought Relatively blunt, when he heard that Dugu kept slandering Ding Yi, he blurted out with righteous indignation.

Ding Yi and Shang Wen sighed at the same time, secretly thinking that Long Er was tricked.Dugucheng's gaze was right on his chest, and he thought to himself: "I have already learned from Han'er that the blind Taoist priest and Taoist boy were Tianji and Jiantong back then. But as long as there is an emergency, the Savior will help you without hesitation because of his eagerness. Now he is really fooled!"

Afterwards, Dugucheng brushed off his clothes, walked up to Long'er softly, and said with a proud smile: "According to what you said, Tianji and you originally stayed in Mufeng City. This proves that you and Patriarch Dongfang Already colluded."

Long Er said anxiously: "You..." Ding Yi stopped him in time, motioning him not to talk too much.Dugu City saw it, held his hands behind his back, and said again: "The princess loves Tianji deeply, and this has long been an open secret among the princes and nobles. Since Tianji died two years ago, the princess has been in love with Tianji because of her love for Tianji. Ai Er is very interested in the art of hexagrams, and has visited all the world's gods and hexagrams. The head of the Eastern Patriarch invited the princess to solve the so-called strange hexagrams, and then died in a row under the name of the gods. The princess leads to Baicaozhuang, which was once owned by merchants in Fulu City.

However, Patriarch Dongfang deliberately chased the wrong direction in the process of chasing the so-called murderer. First, he chased back to Lore City, and then chased to Longevity City in the south.According to Quan'er's report, after Quan'er arrived in Fulu City, he sent someone to inform Dongfang Patriarch to assist in the investigation, but Dongfang Patriarch did not arrive for a long time, and went to Longevity City.At first, I didn't understand it, but then I figured it out.

When Patriarch Dongfang was not in Fulu City, the case of assassinating the princess at the Gate of Life and Death happened. In this way, Patriarch Dongfang had evidence of his alibi.Later, the princess found the secret hall of the Gate of Life and Death in Fulu City, and when he led the crowd to question him, he was planned to besiege and kill him. Fortunately, Quan Er and Guardian Yin arrived in time, and the danger was relieved.But at this time, Tianji and Jiantong appeared and killed the killers of the gate of life and death present, so as to kill them.After that, he killed the dog even more frenziedly, and Yin Hufa was invincible with both fists, so he had to escape with the dog's body injured.

Later, General Tang Yu, Mr. Shang, and the master behind the scenes, Dongfang Patriarch, appeared. Tianji and Jiantong knew that the matter had been revealed, and quickly fled.The blind Taoist priest and Taoist who were instigated were discussing important matters with the Charm King of the Life and Death Gate in the inner hall of the Mei Family Courtyard. When they came out, they were killed by General Tang Yu, and the Charm King fled.Fortunately, the princess escaped again, but Mr. Shang was kind-hearted and didn't know the real conspiracy of this matter, so he was deceived by Tianji and Jiantong, and left them to rest in the mansion... Today I am here Catch them and bring them to justice! "

"Duke Zhen, in this way, the logic seems to be true. I would like to ask, what is the purpose of me, Long Er, and Patriarch Dongfang trying so hard to kill the princess?" Ding Yi straightened his body, His expression was calm and full of confidence, as if he had grasped the conclusion that Dugu City had exhausted his energy in his chest.

"Purpose? Hmph! Hmph! Patriarch Dongfang received great kindness from the previous dynasty and wanted to assassinate the princess to fulfill his so-called loyalty. Your secret is because love turned into hatred, and you wanted to kill the princess, but Jiantong was foolishly loyal to you, so you became Accomplice." Dugu Cheng swallowed his saliva slightly, stretched his neck forward and slowly retracted it.

"Duke Zhen, if it's as you said, I can make a logical argument and give you another proof!" Ding Yi raised his slightly lowered head, and stared at Dugu City fearfully.

"Oh?" Dugu City was stunned like a fishbone choking his throat, took a deep breath, nodded again, and said with a kind smile: "Tianji, my Cangyun Kingdom is based on the law, the most important thing is fairness, and I usually commit crimes. You can appeal after the case is settled, since you have other evidence today, I will listen to it with all my ears!"
