Chapter 431

in the palace,
Gu Lingran had already reported the situation of Ranxianglou to the emperor, and carried the old zombie to the early morning.

It was the first time for the officials to see such a heaven-defying thing, and they were all scared.

Prime Minister Xu's face was pale, and the crown prince looked at him coldly with suspicious eyes.

Dongming Ziyu observed everyone's expressions without any trace. It seemed that the prince didn't know about this matter.

The emperor was recuperating in bed and did not go to the morning court. Although he did not see the appearance of the zombie, he completely believed Gu Lingran's words.

Su Yan'er's contact person was hidden in the Ranxianglou, and the person behind the Ranxianglou was Prime Minister Xu.

The emperor would not believe that the prince would collude with the people of Beiling. He is the prince of a country, so that would not do him any good at all.

Then, the problem lies with Prime Minister Xu.

Is Prime Minister Xu the workmanship of the Beiling people, the workmanship of Yunxia Palace, the man of King Qin, or something else?
The matter became complicated and confusing, and the emperor also had a great headache, so he asked Gu Lingran to continue to investigate.

However, the current bright boss of Ranxianglou took all the blame for the crime and committed suicide in prison.

Prime Minister Xu was very treacherous, and usually only communicated with this boss, and when the boss died, he did not leave any traces related to Ranxianglou.

Therefore, although the insiders knew it well, they couldn't find evidence to deal with him.

But the prince has already doubted Prime Minister Xu, and he may be used by others.

The prince felt that his influence was almost zero, he had already become a bare prince, if the things that Prime Minister Xu did behind his back were caught on him, then he would be completely finished.

He doesn't have the ability of Dongming Ziyu, without the position of prince, he is just a waste.

The prince went to the harem to find the queen, and the queen had already got the news.

The mother and son stood back and talked for a while. As for what they said, only the mother and son knew.

The autumn is crisp, the sky is so blue that it is unreal, and it seems to have some deep mystery and hesitation.

Shangguan Ruoli was walking leisurely in the street wearing the invisibility cloak, amidst the crowds of people coming and going, he suddenly felt dull and lost the excitement he had when he first put on the invisibility cloak.

There's no point in wearing an invisibility cloak!

Shuttle aimlessly among the crowd, no one can see her, and feel like floating here like a ghost.

The hustle and bustle passed by, and it was as if you were watching a theater even though you were in it.

In front is the Ranxiang Building, which has been sealed off. There are officers and soldiers standing around, and thick smoke billows from the backyard. It seems that the zombies have been burned.

Some spectators gathered around pointing and whispering, wondering what happened to the Ranxiang Building.

A young man sighed and said: "It's a pity, the girls in Ranxianglou are not ordinary. Not only are they good at kung fu, they are not only not tired, but also refreshed every time they finish their work."

Another person whispered: "I also think so. After being with them, not only does my body not feel weak, but it's more lively, it smells delicious, and my whole body is full of energy."

A short and thin man snorted lightly, and said in a low voice, "You know what, the people here use magic to keep healthy."

The young master who spoke first said: "It doesn't matter what kind of orthodox or sorcery he has, as long as he maintains his health, no one is a fool, if he feels bad, who will be a repeat customer?"

"Yes, yes!" Someone echoed.

The short and thin man sneered contemptuously: "If you know what kind of magic they use, you don't say that."

Someone jokingly said: "What sorcery? Could it be a goblin?"

Someone objected: "Goblins suck people's essence, how can they keep in good health?"

"Better than a goblin!" The short and thin man blinked mysteriously.

This statement immediately attracted the attention of the people around him, who surrounded him and asked him what he knew in low voices.

Shangguan Ruoli moved forward and listened attentively.

I just heard the thin and short man whispering nonsense: "My uncle's cousin's brother-in-law's second uncle's brother-in-law is working in the government..."

"Oh! Don't talk nonsense, let's get down to business. What is more powerful than goblins?"

"Yeah, don't keep it up!"

"Speak, speak!"

Seeing that the focus was on himself, the short and thin man smiled and said: "The tea you drink is boiled from ashes, and they use zombies to keep healthy!"

"Ah!" Everyone whispered, all showing terrified expressions.

Of course, some people didn't believe it, and said, "Nonsense, how can ashes preserve health?"

Shangguan Ruoli thought of what was in the powder in the teacup, and there was a buzz in his head, it really looked like ashes!

Nima!Fortunately, I didn't drink it!
Seeing that everyone didn't believe him, the thin and short man raised his face and said solemnly: "There is a Taoist practice. Men drink ashes, and their vitality is strong. Those women absorb the vitality of men, and then give it to zombies again, so that zombies can be nourished!"

"Ouch! Ooh!" Someone ran to the street corner and vomited.

Shangguan Ruoli also felt itchy throat, so he decided to go and see the scene, maybe there might be some clues.

It is much more convenient to wear an invisibility cloak, you only need to hide your breath so that no one will find out.

Climb over the courtyard wall of Ranxiang Building and walk directly towards the bungalow.

The bungalow had been burned down, leaving only ruined walls, dark and smoky.

Next to it, Jin Yiwei was burning some of the dead bodies that died last night and the zombies that were later discovered, emitting an unpleasant smell.

Shangguan Ruoli didn't dare to go into the scene to see it. If the invisibility cloak was burned, it would be troublesome.

Going back the same way, he just landed on the top of the wall, but saw a man under the wall.

This man has a gloomy face, the lines of his face are like chisels and axes, his facial features are pleasing to the eye, but he feels extremely surly, his eyes are like eagles, menacing.

Shangguan Ruo's heart skipped a beat, this man is too dangerous, the cold aura on his body makes people shudder.

The man was dressed in a green robe with narrow sleeves, and looked very neat and capable.

The feeling he gave Shangguan Ruoli reminded her of a person: that mysterious ancestor.

The height is about the same, but the ancestor always wears a wide cape and a hood every time he appears on stage, so he can only judge his height and fat or thin.

So just based on height and physical appearance, Shangguan Ruoli could not tell that this person was the mysterious ancestor.

Shangguan Ruoli saw black stains on his boots, he should have just come out of the fire scene.

He seemed to sense Shangguan Ruoli's arrival, and looked in her direction with a look of vigilance on his face.

Shangguan Ruoli restrained his breath and remained motionless, which might attract his attention. This person is obviously not a light-hearted man.

But his internal strength was obviously lower than Shangguan Ruoli, although he sensed someone, he couldn't find her, and finally walked away.

Shangguan Ruoli followed from afar. As an agent, stalking was her forte. She didn't even notice when she followed Dongming Ziyu back then.

Successfully followed the man in the green robe to a large courtyard with three entrances, he opened the door and walked in directly as if he was going home.
