Qin Renhuang just became an immortal, and you told me this is the prehistoric time

Chapter 100 The truth is revealed, the mystery of the death of the First Emperor, Taoist Tian Yangzi!
"Xuan!"

Ying Xuan straightened his clothes and then waved his hand.

The eunuch withdrew respectfully, and soon led a young man in the official uniform of the Qin Dynasty into the hall, holding a pile of bamboo slips.

"Your Majesty, I, Yang Rui from the imperial court, pay my respects to His Majesty!" Yang Rui knelt on the ground and said respectfully.

"No gift!"

Ying Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the dusty Yang Rui, and his eyes fell on the pile of bamboo slips. He said lightly: "Yang Qing hurried into the palace. It seems that he has already found out everything?"

The words fell.

Yang Rui took a deep breath, presented a pile of bamboo slips in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, a few months ago, the Minister of Justice, Bao Yun, died. His body was taken over by the thieves using the military magic of 'resurrection', deceiving the emperor and teasing the officials!"

"Today, I have been ordered to handle this case with the eldest son. After several months, we have thoroughly investigated the truth!"

Hearing this, Ying Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Yang Rui with some amusement. This was a clever remark.

It was he who issued the decree for Fusu to go to the imperial court, and it only took a few months.

When Bao Yun died suddenly, Fusu was probably still guarding the border in the north. What does it have to do with him?
Yang Rui's words clearly showed that he was... afraid.

"It seems that you have found out something extraordinary. Tell me, let me see who is so bold as to attack my nine ministers!" Ying Xuan narrowed his eyes, and a cold look flashed in his eyes.

The nine ministers of the Qin Dynasty were in high positions of power and authority, second only to the emperor and above everyone else.

Because of this incident... Although the officials were not in a panic, they were still a little worried.

You must know that Jiuqing is not only extremely capable, but also has profound cultivation. Each of them is at least a cultivator at the Xuanxian realm.

He died suddenly and inexplicably, his body could not rest in peace, and was forcibly occupied by others. This could not be said to be too much, but it was a severe disgrace to Daqin and Ying Xuan.

"Your Majesty, I have found out that Lord Bao Yun died and there were three people involved!" Yang Rui bowed and his eyes fell on the pile of bamboo slips.

Seeing this, Ying Xuan cast a glance and said calmly, "Show it up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch beside him hurried forward and handed the bamboo slips to Ying Xuan.

There are quite a lot of bamboo slips in this pile, most of which are details of Yang Rui's investigation, recording the information of all the people being investigated.

Among them, there are many ministers who are also the Nine Ministers.

Ying Xuan glanced over and his gaze fell on the three names engraved at the end. His face gradually darkened and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

The last three names engraved on the bamboo slips were the three people who killed Bao Yun!
The first one was Li Si. Ying Xuan was not surprised. After all, there were only a few great scholars in Xianyang City, and the only one who had the ability and reason to kill Bao Yun was Li Si.

However, Yang Rui had not been able to find out before.

"Li Si...have you confirmed it?" Ying Xuan lightly touched the name with his finger.

"Your Majesty, I have interrogated Li Quan, and what he saw and heard in his mind is true!" Yang Rui bowed his head.

Hearing this, Ying Xuan's expression slightly condensed. He stared at Yang Rui for a while, then nodded without saying anything more.

After all, this is a mythological world set in a primitive background, so investigating and sorting out cases is naturally not as troublesome as in historical contexts.

But to put it simply, it is not that simple, and it involves some secrets of practitioners.

A cultivator, even one who has only reached the stage of refining essence into qi, can easily perform spells such as mind reading and soul searching to obtain the information he wants.

However, this method is not very effective against practitioners, especially those with extremely high cultivation. Especially for practitioners below the Golden Immortal Realm, if you use mind reading and soul searching methods on them, not only may it be ineffective, but it may also hurt yourself.

This is related to a characteristic of the Golden Immortal Realm: the sky gate opens, the spirit platform is cleaned of dust, and the spiritual consciousness penetrates the nine heavens of the underworld.

This means that the great practitioners in the Golden Immortal Realm have been able to detach from their physical bodies and continue to exist with only a wisp of spiritual consciousness and an immortal soul.

This has achieved a certain degree of immortality.

As for practitioners below the Golden Immortal Realm, since their heavenly spirits are not yet developed, their heavenly gates are tightly closed and their interior is in chaos. Even if one reads their minds or searches their souls, it is impossible to obtain any information.

On the contrary, it will backfire and hurt the mind. A bad mood will lead to collapse and possession.

So, this is a very dangerous behavior.

The Qin Dynasty had a court with many practitioners who specialized in the practice of the mind, and they served as officials who tried all criminal matters in the Qin Dynasty.

But very few officials were willing to enter the imperial court, because the officials in the imperial court were rotated most frequently.

The reason is that this method of reading minds and searching souls is a double-edged sword for the practitioners themselves.

With Yang Rui's high position and power...he shouldn't have to take such a risk.

But he did it anyway, this is the emperor's confidant.

"Then what about this Tianyangzi? Is he from Taoism?" Ying Xuan turned his gaze and looked at the name that was listed after Li Si on the bamboo slips.

This name appeared on the bamboo slips, just after Li Si. It can be imagined that he was one of the three people who killed Bao Yun.

"Your Majesty, he is a Taoist immortal from Taiyi Mountain, at the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm, and a junior brother of Taoist Bei Mingzi. Nearly a year ago, he came to Xianyang City and disappeared." Yang Rui said with his head down.

a year ago!?
Ying Xuan raised his eyebrows and his heart moved slightly. Wasn’t that the time when the Ancestral Dragon died?

"When exactly?" Ying Xuan asked coldly.

"...The thirty-seventh year of Emperor Qin Shihuang!" Yang Rui took a deep breath.

It was the time when Zulong passed away!
Ying Xuan's eyes suddenly sank. Although there was no evidence yet, he instinctively felt that this Taoist Tian Yangzi might have something to do with Zulong's sudden death, or at least knew some hidden secrets!

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a coincidence!
"Where is he now?" Ying Xuan asked.

Yang Rui cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have no information about his whereabouts for now, but I guess he should still be in Xianyang City."

"Why?" Ying Xuan frowned.

"When Tian Yangzi went down the mountain, he did not alarm anyone. Even the three thousand Iron Eagle warriors stationed at the foot of the mountain were unable to detect his whereabouts!"

Yang Rui sighed, feeling somewhat powerless. After all, Taiyi Mountain has a long heritage and strong foundation. With just three thousand Iron Eagle Warriors, they can only surround Taiyi Mountain, but cannot monitor it all the time.

“With such secretive whereabouts, I think this Taoist master’s intention is not just to kill a court judge...it’s that simple!” Yang Rui bowed his head.

It's not just about killing a court judge...that means there is a bigger goal!
Ying Xuan narrowed his eyes, his expression calm, without the slightest bit of surprise.

In Xianyang City, the only one with a higher status than the Nine Ministers was him, the Second Emperor of Qin!

Therefore, the Taoist master’s target was him!
"Then the last one... you saw it from Li Quan's sea of ​​consciousness!" After a moment of silence, Ying Xuan looked at the last name on the bamboo slips.

That was also the last of the three people who killed Bao Yun—Li Xin, Marquis of Longxi!
