The talisman I drew must be banned.

Chapter 190 Jiangcheng, do you know your guilt?
The Emperor of Liang had no direct administrative power, only veto power.

Therefore, even if the fourth prince died, the emperor could not directly order Dali Temple and other institutions to investigate the case.

However, the emperor could write to the chief minister of the cabinet and ask the chief minister to direct the civil and military officials.

If the chief minister does not accept the emperor's suggestions, the emperor may deliberately use his veto power to obstruct the cabinet in future administrative, judicial and other matters.

If you don’t give me face, I naturally don’t need to give you face.
Moreover, the death of a prince is not a trivial matter. Even if the emperor does not write suggestions, the cabinet cannot turn a blind eye.

At the suggestion of "Emperor Liang", the cabinet quickly convened the three ministers of the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to form a joint investigation team in response to the Fourth Prince incident, and implemented the "three-department joint trial" with the highest standards in the imperial court.

As for the palace, the deputy commander of the forbidden army, who was at the peak of the Dan formation, was responsible for "protecting" the investigation team officials.

For the officials of the investigation team, investigating the case, analyzing the facts of the case, and concluding the crime are all their own jobs and are not difficult.

The difficult thing is to pin this crime on whom.

The fourth prince's reputation was not very good and he offended quite a few people.

And he also offended his other brothers who were also princes.

If this is found out, a certain prince deliberately caused the death of the fourth prince in order to seize the throne.

So do they want this result, or do they not want this result?

The four princes are all dead and it is impossible to become the emperor, but the prince who is not dead has the possibility of becoming the emperor.

Once he becomes emperor, he can veto cabinet appointments with one vote. Even if he threatens the chief minister and forces the chief minister to replace officials, it is completely possible.

Even if he sent someone to assassinate someone, the emperor had the power to veto the judgment of his own case.

These are the royal privileges that were exchanged for the "constitutional monarchy" back then.

"This job is too difficult." Pang Yuan, the young minister of Dali Temple, said.

"If it were easy to do, we wouldn't be hired as deputies." Wei Chenhan, deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, complained.

"Be careful, the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army is still waiting for us in the room." Wang Weien, the Minister of Punishment, reminded in a low voice.

"We'd better find a mastermind with a clean identity and end this matter here. Everyone is old and young, so there's no need to dig deeper."

"Ah."

"it is good."

The three reached an agreement at the speed of light.

In the current official atmosphere of Liang State, it is no longer easy to protect oneself.

If you want to do something in your career, there will be too much resistance and it will be impossible.

As for digging deep, it is purely an act of seeking death.

Because as long as you dig deep enough, you will always find someone you can't afford to mess with.

The three main members of the investigation team returned to the temporary office built by the court for the joint trial of the three departments.

The head catchers of the Six Doors are responsible for specific case acceptance and detection work.

At this time, many files related to the case were placed on the table in the investigation team's office.

Among them are the confessions of several concubines of the fourth prince.

There are also many witnesses and confessions from maids and servants in the palace.

Pang Yuan, the young minister of Dali Temple, took a deep breath after reading the confessions of several concubines.

"Damn it, the Will Empowerment Talisman is so powerful? It's almost full fire suppression. Do you know where I can buy it? I also want to make some contribution to the investigation of the case."

Wang Weien from the Criminal Department reminded in a low voice: "Ahem. Let's talk about this after get off work. There is a historian nearby."

The three people understood and bowed their heads to work again.

The situation pieced together based on the oral confessions is probably that the fourth prince obtained many will-empowering charms from his "friends". Then he took the talisman and declared war with several concubines during the day until eight o'clock at night. He has never been out of the house, and all the concubines are witnesses. Due to the good performance, the fourth prince could not help but feel confident. So he went out, and according to the estimates of the concubine and the palace maid, he was probably going to Jiaofangsi.

Finally, the fourth prince was indeed discovered in Jiaofangsi.

Otherwise, the news would not have spread throughout Yujing so quickly.

Based on the autopsy report of the fourth prince in the file, it can be judged that the fourth prince indeed died of exhaustion.

Based on the above information, it is easy to draw a case story:
The fourth prince obtained an aphrodisiac talisman from a friend, and then relied on the talisman to gain excessive confidence. In the end, I exhausted myself to death in Jiaofangsi.

The key to the problem undoubtedly comes from "friends" and the talismans brought by "friends"!

The Fourth Prince's "friends" are still investigating, but the creator of the Will Empowerment Talisman has already found out.

According to the information in the file, the creator of the Will Empowerment Talisman is - a freshman at Lianyun University, a native of Wuyue, Xiangzhou, an 18-year-old teenager, male, unmarried, Jiangcheng!

With such innocent information, he is simply the ideal "case leader" for the investigation team.

The main pot was thrown on the head of the college student named Jiang, and the second pot was left to the "friend".

Solve the case! Everyone is happy!
"Come here, bring Jiang Cheng here! I want to interrogate him personally!"

……

Lianda University teaching building, sketch class of Talisman Drawing Class 1.

"Jiang Cheng, is Jiang Cheng here? If you're not there, you'll be considered absent from class." The teacher said.

Ding Guangming: "Hey? Where is Brother Cheng? He has never been absent from class."

Song Junsheng said: "Jiang Cheng has been very busy recently. He ordered a batch of talismans from my shop, and the quantity is quite large."

"College students should study hard and enjoy life. Making money is all about heresy." Zhu Hongcai said disdainfully.

Ding Guangming complained: "Brother Hongcai, you haven't studied hard either?"

Zhu Hongcai said angrily: "I get angry when I talk about this. Didn't I study hard? People say they have a family and a career. Aren't I not married yet?"

Ding Guangming said secretly: Brother Cheng doesn't have a family either! No, Brother Cheng lives out every Saturday and Sunday, and usually packs meals for two in the canteen. I heard that he rented a house outside, could it be...

Song Junsheng knew that Jiang Cheng kept a low profile, so he did not reveal the number of talismans he had ordered to Zhu Hongcai.

The talismans ordered by Jiangcheng have relatively high quality requirements, so the price is not cheap.

For one-time use, the Ocean Talisman costs 20 spiritual stones, and the reusable version is even more expensive, costing about 80 spiritual stones.

If Jiang Cheng was more sinister and sold twice as many of these talismans, he would have made a profit of 800,000 yuan!

It’s not a small amount of money by any means.

Song Junsheng sighed silently in his heart. He found that the gap between him and Jiang Cheng was getting wider and wider.

In the past, I felt that Hua Fu was slightly inferior to Jiangcheng.

Later, I felt that the difference between him and Jiang Cheng in drawing talismans was at least one second-level talisman master, Cui Zhifei.

Now I feel that drawing symbols may be the smallest difference between him and Jiang Cheng.

When Jiang Cheng earned 800,000 yuan, he was still receiving the 800 spirit stones given by his family for living expenses.

"Brother Junsheng, should we tell the counselor? I feel like Brother Cheng used to ask for leave from the teacher no matter how busy he was. Today he didn't ask for leave. Could something happen?" Ding Guangming asked.

"That's not true. Jiang Cheng is usually very cautious. What could happen to him? He is not Zhu Hongcai."

Zhu Hongcai: Huh? This is going to step on me, right?
After thinking about it carefully, Song Junsheng said, "Be on the safe side. I'll ask the class monitor to send a message to the counselor. Just say that Jiang Cheng didn't ask for leave and suddenly missed class."

……

When Jiang Cheng was arrested, he was in the only remaining research institute of Miaodanfang, discussing with Shen Menghan the latest pill that Miaodanfang was about to launch.

During the most critical period of Miaodanfang, Shen Menghan listened to Jiang Cheng and tried his best to sell his ancestral home, leaving a dozen young and energetic second-level alchemists for the new Miaodanfang, as well as almost all of them. Certified elixirs related to female cultivators.

These reservations are the basis for Xinmiao Danfang to invest in the research and development of new elixirs immediately after being financed by Jiangcheng.

"It is not enough to enhance the effect of detoxification and beauty. It is essentially no different from the old beauty pill." Jiang Cheng made a sharp comment on Miaodanfang's new beauty pill.

"Then how can we improve?" Shen Menghan asked.

Jiang Cheng frowned in thought, while Shen Menghan stood by and watched silently with her chin in her hands.

Jiang Cheng suddenly raised his head and said, "Yes, just like this."

"What kind?"

"like you."

"I?"

"Well, it's that expression with a slight smile and shining eyes." Shen Menghan's eyes widened and she suddenly lowered her head.

It’s over, is my expression so obvious? Did he see it?
Jiang Cheng issued a sharp comment: "We can add some ingredients that can help people wake up, and then add some things that can help with sleep, relieve stress, make people feel refreshed, and reduce pain and fatigue. If you feel better in this way, your mental state and appearance will naturally improve."

Shen Menghan was expressionless: Ah, I seem to understand Yue Ling'er a little bit.

"Can it be done?" Jiang Cheng asked.

Shen Menghan came back to her senses and said: "Okay! But the price is..."

"The price doesn't matter. As long as the packaging quality is improved, price is not an issue."

"Ok."

At this point, Shen Menghan can only listen to Jiang Cheng.

What else to do? The handle is all in his hands. By the way, has he watched it?
"Jiang Cheng, have you seen that photo ball?" Shen Menghan asked quietly.

Jiang Chengdao: "Didn't you say it's important? I didn't look at it. However, I put it in a very safe place. It won't be discovered by others. (Referring to Liu Qing's bedroom)"

"Oh."

Shen Menghan was a little happy, but also a little disappointed.

"Who is Jiang Cheng?"

Several detectives strode into the research room of Miaodanfang.

"I am Jiang Cheng."

"Okay, you are suspected of negligence causing the death of the royal family. Now please go to the Yamen for questioning and take you away."

The head catcher waved his hand, and several catchers swarmed forward.

Shen Menghan became anxious and shouted: "Here comes someone! Let's see who dares to touch him!"

There are currently more than a dozen second-level alchemists in Miaodanfang.

No matter in terms of numbers or cultivation, they absolutely crushed the police officers.

The catcher's expression was solemn and he was about to give a warning when Jiang Cheng spoke before him.

"According to Daliang law, violent resistance to arrest involves the crime of obstructing official duties and can be sentenced to up to three years in prison." Jiang Cheng turned into a legal pioneer and an expert in popularizing the law.

"I didn't expect you to be knowledgeable." The catcher chuckled.

Jiang Cheng said to Shen Menghan: "If you tell President Gao of the Talisman Masters Association, you will be considered as helping me."

Shen Menghan grabbed Jiang Cheng's hand and said emotionally: "Jiang Cheng!"

Jiang Cheng's face turned pale - because Shen Menghan was practicing at the ninth level of qi, his hands were a bit strong, and he turned pale in pain.

"Don't get excited, let alone cry. If you show your timidity in front of so many employees, how can you be the boss? Don't worry, I haven't broken any laws. If nothing else happens, I can go home before dark."

The policeman who took the person clasped his ears and said, "Are you done with the ink marks? You can visit the prison even after you're in prison. You won't be able to behead him for a while. Take him away, take him away!"

Dali Temple Yamen.

Under the plaque of "The Mirror Hangs High", there is a grand lobby table.

There is not one chair behind the case, but three, representing the three-division trial.

Among them, Pang Yuan, the young minister of Dali Temple, sat in the middle, Wang Weien of the Criminal Department and Wei Chenhan of the Metropolitan Procuratorate sat on both sides.

Below the three are the historian responsible for recording events and the master bookkeeper responsible for recording the case.

After that, it was the turn of the Yamen servant holding a long staff.

"The suspect is Jiang Cheng," Pang Yuandao said.

Jiang Cheng was taken to the palace by two policemen.

"Jiang Cheng, the fourth prince is dead, do you know?"

Jiang Cheng's face was calm, neither humble nor arrogant: "I know."

"He died because of your talisman, did you know?"

"He can't die from my talisman."

Pang Yuan didn't want to talk nonsense and said to the master next to him: "Read it."

The master took out the file: "According to the testimony of the royal concubine Sun, 'His Royal Highness held a number of talismans and brought me and all the sisters...'"

"Okay, okay, no need to be so detailed. Next point." Pang Yuan quickly waved his hand.

"According to Hua Yang, the head of the Jiaofang, the Fourth Highness carries a kind of talisman. I know it. It is a will-empowering talisman. The effect is extremely powerful. The talisman's effect will not fade, and a spear will not fall down. I have heard other sisters say before, I didn’t believe it at the time...'"

"Stop! Jiang Cheng, this is the remaining talisman we found in the clothes of the fourth prince." Pang Yuan picked up the "evidence" in the plastic bag and said: "There is indeed the fingerprint of the fourth prince on it. It can prove that the fourth prince used Pass your talisman. Now everyone gets the stolen goods, why do you have to make excuses?"

Jiang Cheng was justified: "There is no inevitable causal relationship between using my talisman and the talisman causing his death. Therefore, it cannot be judged that I need to be responsible for the death of the fourth prince."

Wei Chenhan felt irritable when he saw Jiang Cheng's quibble.

A few of them were pushed out by their leaders to resist the pressure. The pressure was already great enough, but it turned out that this unruly man didn't know how to sympathize with the superior.

Wei Chenhan's spiritual consciousness said: What nonsense are you talking to him about? After playing a few boards, I am willing to recruit anything.

Pang Yuan thought the same thing. Jiang Cheng had no background. Why should he be polite to him?
Call later.

"The suspect roared in court, disrespected the superior, and was punished with twenty sticks!"

Jiang Chengdao: "Your Excellency, please be careful. According to Liang Law, illegal punishment will be investigated afterwards. Depending on the severity of the punishment, the maximum penalty is dismissal and imprisonment."

Pang Yuanqi smiled: "What rank are you in the imperial court? Do you understand Liang Law or do I understand Liang Law? Don't you want to hold me accountable? OK, you can hold me accountable if you have the ability. Come on, the suspect despises the court. If you can’t bear the law, add twenty more!”

As soon as Jiang Cheng was grabbed by the yamen officer, he heard a clear shout in the distance: "Let's see who dares to touch him!"

Li Qingge fell to the ground like a meteor, and pushed forward with his slender hand. The two government officials beside Jiang Cheng were immediately shocked to the point of vomiting blood and falling backwards!

Pang Yuan was furious and said: "Where did this bastard form a pill? How dare you rush into the court of Dali Temple! Please ask Deputy Commander Han to suppress it!"

Han Zhengyu, the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army, was about to take action when he suddenly felt a Nascent Soul-level pressure descending on the court!
"Who are you calling a bastard?"

A handsome and beautiful cultivator with a stern face suddenly appeared in the courtroom.

Pang Yuan and the others did not know Li Qingge, but they knew this one - the chief helmsman of the Liang Kingdom of Taixu Sect, the president of Qinghe Xuanran University, and a late Yuanying monk, Shang Yufeng.

"Master Da Da is so majestic. Do you still know Shang?" Shang Yufeng sneered.

Pang Yuan's legs went weak and he was finished.

He hurriedly used his spiritual consciousness to ask for help: Who said Jiangcheng had no background? The horse riding alarmed the school leaders! Now that the Nascent Soul cultivators are here, what should we do?

Wei Chenhan said rejoicing: Fortunately, it is only Taixu Sect. Taixu Sect does not have a deep foundation in our Liang country and cannot move us. It should be fine.

Wang Weien: If I remember correctly, Jiang Cheng doesn’t seem to be a student at Qingxuan University, he is from Lianda University.

Wei Chenhan, Pang Yuan:? ? ?

Is it...

Three figures also crashed into Dali Temple like meteors.

They are Guo Xiuyuan, Gao Miao, and Jian Youqiu, the dean of the Lotus Magical Treasure and Talisman Academy and a monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

Jian Youqiu is a spirited old man. He stroked his beard and said: "Look, you can meet your friends here. What? Have students from your school been arrested?"

The scalps of Pang Yuan and the others were numb.

It's not like they haven't seen the Immortal Sect's guarantor before.

But this seems to be the first time that two major immortal sects have protected people together!
What is the origin of Jiangcheng?
How could he have two immortal sects serving him at the same time?

"Three adults," Jiang Cheng said, immediately attracting the attention of everyone present.

After all, these people are gathered here because of him.

Jiang Cheng was polite: "Three gentlemen, you just said that I roared in the court and acted beyond the law. I don't agree. But the following few people, I think they did roar in the court and acted beyond the law. Now everyone gets the stolen goods. , three adults, please order the rod to punish them!"

The whole place was silent.

Jiang Cheng's voice was sonorous and powerful: "Please give the order, sir!"

Pang Yuan froze in place, not daring to move.
