White Bone Monkey King

There was such a big commotion in the spice shop tonight. Even the ninth-grade chamberlain was beheaded in the street. No one in the spice shop could sleep.

Su Susu, the nominal shopkeeper of Tiangong Miao Pavilion, is one of those who stayed up all night.

When the Bi'an carriage of the Commander of the Criminal Investigation Department stopped at the entrance of Tiangong Miao Pavilion, the shopkeeper of Tiangong Miao Pavilion, the big and small accountants, the hall master, and the Qingli maids all stood in front of the door respectfully to greet them.

Seeing the commander of the Criminal Investigation Department sitting in the carriage, looking at Tiangong Miao Pavilion with a cold eye, Su Susu, the shopkeeper of Tiangong Miao Pavilion who knows best about words and expressions, felt a slight thump in his heart and had a bad premonition.

She winked at a close maid, who moved back, quietly hid in the crowd, and then disappeared toward the back hall, preparing to report the news to Taiyuan Hospital and move reinforcements.

The female shopkeeper Su Susu was about to breathe a sigh of relief when suddenly her body stiffened and her pupils trembled nervously. She noticed that the commander of the Criminal Investigation Department sitting in the Biyan carriage was staring at her coldly, with a penetrating calmness in his eyes.

The other party was handsome, too young, a few years younger than her, but his body was like the condensed energy of a mountain, like the breath of the sea, and his domineering aura was more terrifying than any other high-ranking official she had ever seen.

That kind of domineering aura cannot be cultivated by those who play with political power and sit in temples. The latter brings a sense of oppression that the city government cannot guess and is capricious.

And this young and over-young commander of the Criminal Investigation Department gave people a domineering and thunderous power, with a strong sense of overlord who came from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​​​blood. When he looked at him, he not only felt fear and awe, but also felt ashamed.

Su Susu lowered her head in panic, not daring to look at each other again.

Just when Su Susu's heart was beating nervously and her pink mouth was slightly open and she was breathing nervously, she heard the sound of someone getting out of the Biyan carriage. She was so frightened that she lowered her head even lower, feeling confused. She kept thinking about whether the picture she just flashed on her phone was. There is exposure.

Just when Su Susu was still confused and thinking wildly, her vision dimmed, and a figure stood in front of her, blocking the light: "Raise your head."

Su Susu raised her eyes and trembled. She had a delicate and delicate head, skin like snow, shiny black hair, eyes like water, beautiful face, graceful and slender figure, small waist with a firm grip, and nervous breath with the fragrance of orchid. , a slight heat slaps on the person's face.

"Eye like autumn water, captivating the soul. She really lives up to her reputation as an oiran." Jin An nodded.

"My lord, I'm sorry, my lord, Su Su is already a middle-aged lady, and the flowers are in ruins..." Su Susu's voice was nervous and trembling, and her breath was like orchid, carrying the scent of hot wind.

Jin An: "I heard that the rouge, makeup powder and Shidai of Tiangong Miao Pavilion... are well-known in the capital. They can make people's skin look like gelatin and be as white as jade. They have the power to rejuvenate a woman's face. I guess the shopkeeper applies Dai every day, right? "

The slightly hot fragrance hit her face, Su Susu exhaled like a blue breath and said: "Your Majesty, Commander, you praised me very much. Women indeed use Tiangong Miaoge's rouge makeup powder every day. I will send you some copies later, Commander, please let me know." My beloved, please try my Tiangong Miao Pavilion rouge to see if it works.”

After being confused at first when her little thoughts were discovered, Su Susu had completely calmed down by now, and her conversation was elegant and funny, neither humble nor overbearing.

As expected of the former courtesan who won the favor of officials and officials, he was used to meeting all kinds of imperial officials, so he adjusted his mentality so quickly and spoke freely.

Jin An looked up and down the female shopkeeper Su Susu: "The shopkeeper said that he is a faded flower, but I saw that the shopkeeper has a white neck, hands and face. It seems that the shopkeeper's body is covered with rouge and powder from Tiangong Miaoge. Only then can the skin be as smooth as cream.”

"A box of rouge in Tiangong Miao Pavilion can pay for one or two months of ordinary people's salary. If you apply rouge powder all over your body every day, ten boxes and hundreds of boxes are not enough. The shopkeeper's love for beauty is beyond the reach of ordinary people like us. "

The detective brothers who followed looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. Can they still apply rouge all over their bodies to show their whiteness?

Does anyone really use it so extravagantly?

As expected, he is worthy of being a commander. He is well-informed. Not only is he good at autopsying dead people, but he is also very knowledgeable about women's rouge and makeup.

The expression on Su Susu's face froze: "The commander is joking, Susu is just an ordinary citizen, how can he use such luxury."

Jin An's tone was calm: "Does the shopkeeper think I'm joking with you?"

Well.

Su Susu was so frightened that she was not in a hurry to answer immediately.

Jin An: "Tiangong Miao Ge's rouge makeup powder has such a miraculous beauty-preserving effect. It can make a woman's skin ten or twenty years younger. I think Tiangong Miao Ge's rouge makeup powder must be unique in its ingredients and formula. I wonder if the shopkeeper can help. Clear up the confusion?”

Su Susu declined politely: "Each store has its own unique recipe. This makes it a little difficult for the civilian daughter, Commander..."

Before Su Susu finished speaking, Jin An had already pushed her away and led a large number of criminal inspectors into Tiangong Miao Pavilion. He ordered in a cold voice: "Search for me, search all the account books, seize everyone in the store and take them back." The Criminal Investigation Department will interrogate them one by one!"

"This officer suspects that Tiangong Miao Pavilion is a den of thieves, and is focusing on searching the secret passages of Tibetans. Anyone who blocks it will be killed without mercy!"

Here!

Suddenly, a large number of criminal prosecutors poured into Tiangong Miao Pavilion like a tide, and detained all men and women. Even the shopkeeper Su Susu was not spared.

The Criminal Investigation Department was merciless and launched a tough search. Su Susu was so frightened that she turned pale and wanted to cry out for injustice. However, a flash of swords came out of their sheaths, scaring everyone in Tiangong Miao Pavilion into silence, fearing that they would be hacked. Head disaster.

Su Susu clenched her teeth tightly, her face looked frightened and angry, but she did not dare to resist.

The ninth-rank eunuch had just been beheaded, and the Criminal Investigation Department was at its most murderous. How could she, a weak woman who had fallen into the dust, be compared with the ninth-rank eunuch?

The Criminal Investigation Department dared to behead even the ninth-rank eunuch in the street, so her life was even more like an ant.

Since ancient times, people have never fought against officials.

We can only hope that the academicians of the Imperial Hospital can stop the criminal investigation department's misdeeds as soon as possible.

As everyone in the Tiangong Miao Pavilion was controlled, Jin An, holding the Luogeng Jade Plate, passed through the front hall, the screen wall, and came to the back hall garden and the small corridor with a clear goal, and finally found a small turquoise bead between two wooden boards in the small corridor.

Jin An took out the embroidered shoe and matched it with the turquoise bead in his hand. It happened to be the small pendant that was lost on the toe of the shoe.

"There is indeed something wrong with this Tiangong Miao Pavilion!"

"Many people are destined to have insomnia tonight. There is a big shock in the court!"

Fatty Li looked solemn.

At this time, several criminal inspectors came with a maid: "Commander, we found a maid hiding in a secret passage. After verification, this person is the maid of Su Susu, the owner of Tiangong Miaoge."

"We also found that the secret passage can lead to the outside of the spice shop. I suspect that this maid may have used the secret passage to pass on information to the outside world."

Jin'an: "Fatty Li."

Fatty Li clasped his hands and stood up solemnly: "Here."

"Take this maid with you to find out who she has passed the message to just now, and then follow the clues to catch all these hidden chess pieces in one fell swoop."

"I grant you the privilege of killing first and reporting later."

"As ordered." The big and strong Fatty Li, who mentioned the maid who was already scared and crying, took a team of people into the secret passage.

Jin An had long noticed the little tricks between Su Susu and the maid, but he didn't point it out at the beginning because he deliberately let the maid go out to pass on the news, so as to catch the intelligence network secretly planted by Tiangong Miaoge in the capital.

Tiangong Miaoge has been operating the spice shop for many years, and there are far more secret passages than this one.

After digging three feet underground, two more secret passages were found. One secret passage was where the accounts were stored, and the other secret passage was where various valuable spices, materials, and formulas were stored.

When Jin An came to the secret passage where spices were stored, he immediately realized that the yin energy here was better than other places.

The martial arts immortal had a keen sense of consciousness, and he found several bottles and jars with slightly different smells from a pile of materials.

They were several exquisite jade bottles stored separately, and even the mouths of the jade bottles were inlaid with gold. Jin An and the old Taoist priest each picked up a gilded jade bottle, and as soon as the bottle cap was opened, a strange fragrance came out.

The fragrance is so strong that it is greasy and disgusting.

Just like the sweetness is so sweet that it is too sweet.

But the fragrance here is very different. Although it is strange, it is not greasy. It has the fragrance of a virgin. The fragrance is like the body fragrance of a slightly sweaty girl. The more you smell it, the more you will be intoxicated.

"This fragrance smells really strange. The more you smell it, the more fragrant it is. It is a little abnormal." The old Taoist shook the gilded jade bottle, and a little liquid flow sound came out.

"What kind of flowers can be brewed to purify such a unique fragrance?"

The old Taoist was still observing in amazement. Jin An held down the old Taoist's hand holding the gilded jade bottle and shook his head slightly.

At this time, Jin An's face was extremely serious.

"This is human oil!"

"I've seen it in "Collection of Corpses"!"

Human, human oil?

The old Taoist's hand trembled. Thanks to the old Taoist's early experience and extraordinary courage, he quickly regained his balance and avoided falling to the ground.

Jin An said coldly: "Take the cardamom virgin to seal with wax, then make a needle hole in the sole of the foot and cook it alive, so that the soul cannot escape. The longer the cooking time, the deeper the resentment, and the better the human oil extracted."

"It takes one person to cook to extract one drop of human oil!"

"I originally thought that they killed people to refine corpse oil and bone oil, and extracted the spices needed to make rouge from it, but the evil here is worse than hell. They actually cooked living people to refine human oil!"

"Seal the soul of a living person and then torture him with extreme punishment. This is a sacrificial method used by ancient shamanism."

The old Taoist priest understood it at once and exclaimed: "Little brother, do you suspect that this academician of the Imperial Hospital is involved with the grassland Khanate? Is he a spy who colluded with the enemy?"

This guess is really very likely.

The Imperial Hospital serves the emperor and royal family members. Princes, concubines, and ministers all need the Imperial Hospital to diagnose and prescribe medicine.

"It seems necessary to check the background of this academician of the Imperial Hospital!"

After Jin An carefully and solemnly put down the gilded jade bottle, he took the embroidered shoes and left the secret room with a cold face: "Let's go and meet the former courtesan Su Susu again!"

Jin An returned to the front hall of Tiangong Miao Pavilion and threw the embroidered shoes and turquoise into Su Susu's arms: "Tell the truth, who is the owner of this embroidered shoe and how did he die."

"If you tell the truth, I can let you die happily, otherwise I will take you to the back hall workshop and put you in the workshop steamer, so that you can also experience the same suffering as those poor women."

When the female shopkeeper Su Susu saw the embroidered shoes and turquoise pendant, her expression immediately changed.

"Those are Miss Cheng's shoes!" A small accountant in Tiangong Miao Pavilion exclaimed.

"Who is Miss Cheng?"

The accountant replied in panic: "Cheng Ling'er, the daughter of Cheng Boqing, the current academician of the Imperial Hospital."

When these words came out, Jin An and the old Taoist priest looked at each other in surprise. Even a tiger would not eat its own cubs, but this academician of the Imperial Hospital was so cruel that he even killed his own daughter?

Jin An was quick-witted and figured out many details. It seemed that when Li Yan and the other four were dumping the body, they accidentally saw that the coffin was the daughter of Cheng Baiqing, so they said that they saw something they shouldn't have seen and would be killed.

Apart from Li Yan, the other three knew very well who the real person in power behind Tiangong Miaoge was. The daughter of the person in power in Tiangong Miaoge died in Tiangong Miaoge, and then her body was dumped, leaving no trace of her body.

Let alone whether they can explain that they are not the murderer, the fact that her body is missing is enough to anger them.

At this moment, Su Susu, who looked delicate, broke free from her restraints and tried to escape. Jin An seemed to have expected it. He attacked faster and hit Su Susu's back with a palm. There was a sound of broken tendons and bones. The spine was completely broken, and she fell heavily on the street outside the door with a paralyzed body.

The shock came too quickly. When the people in the spice shop noticed that the seriously injured person lying on the ground was Su Susu, the owner of Tiangong Miaoge, all the muscles on their faces trembled with fear.

The look they looked at the Criminal Investigation Department changed. There was the eunuch first and then the Tiangong Miaoge!

People only thought that the sponsor of Tiangong Miaoge was Su Susu, but those who could open a shop and do business in the spice shop, who didn’t have the support of the aristocratic family behind them, all knew that the real sponsor behind Tiangong Miaoge was Cheng Baiqing, the academician of the current Imperial Hospital!

It was not comparable to the previous ninth-rank eunuch!

It was not the confiscated Tiangong Miaoge, and it was the beating of the academician of the Imperial Hospital. This was not putting the Imperial Hospital in the eyes at all!

What was the Criminal Investigation Department going to do?

They even dared to move the power of the Imperial Hospital. It was simply lawless. The spice shop was really going to change!

"Eunuchs, eunuchs, Imperial Hospital, have you noticed that these are all people closely related to the palace..."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people around them changed drastically.

"This time, the Criminal Investigation Department dared to search the Spice Shop in such a high-profile manner, directly targeting the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Imperial Hospital. Could it be that they really received an imperial edict from the palace that there are spies hiding in the capital?"

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Tiangong Miaoge are all related to the imperial concubines in the palace. The palace is about to change!"

Everyone stopped talking briefly and did not dare to discuss it further. If they talked about the emperor's family affairs, they would not be able to get ten heads.

"Who will be the next one to suffer?"

"You, Hongxintang, are not spies who are also spies who are spies. You should confess your crimes as soon as possible and don't bring harm to our neighbors!"

"People from Huajiao Pavilion, stop talking nonsense. You are spies who are spies. Don't implicate our Hongxintang who has a good family background!"

The people in the Spice Shop were panicked for a while. Everyone was in danger and looked at everyone as a spy.

After Jin An crippled Su Susu, he grabbed Su Susu's neck and got on the Bi'an carriage. His voice came from the carriage: "Go to the residence of Cheng Baiqing, the academician of the Imperial Hospital."

"Seal off the Tiangong Miaoge, this is the first murder scene."

Afterwards, the Criminal Investigation Department sent a team of people to follow the Bi'an carriage and rushed to the residence of the academician of the Imperial Hospital.
