It's dusk and night is approaching.

After Zhengyao asked Kong Geng a few more questions in the Heavenly Prison, he finally left the Heavenly Prison. Yuan Haiyun's expression was still, and he was not wronged at all or had any complaints about being imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. Look

He really grew up as Zheng Yao said.

Kong Geng was still making a big fuss at the door and chatting endlessly, but it was useless. After Zhengyao turned around and left, only a "bang" sound of closing the door was left, and Kong Geng had to shut his mouth depressedly again.

After leaving the prison, he negotiated with the prison guards at the door, signaling to treat Yuan Haiyun and others as much as possible. Zhengyao went back to the Shuzhou Guild Hall. Zhengyao naturally understood that no matter what he did, he needed relationships, otherwise he would

He couldn't do anything. So when he was negotiating, he kept conveying his token and the emperor's meaning to the prison guards, making them afraid.

Sure enough, after Zhengyao left, the prison guards cleaned the cell for Yuan Haiyun and specially found a few doctors for him to play. He felt that Yuan Haiyun was not here to go to jail, but rather like he was fishing on vacation.

It was already late at night when I returned to the Shuzhou Guild Hall. After eating some food casually, Zhengyao did not fall asleep. Instead, he wrote two letters in person. He then sent someone to Zhou Bing and Hua Qingyue, but he didn't know that he was

I was doing something behind my back. It was already early in the morning and I finally lay on my own bed.

Since the emperor appointed him as the left commander of the Jinyiwei and the left commander of the Imperial Guard, he had a mansion, but it has not been completed so far, so he could only temporarily live in the Shuzhou Guild Hall. As for Liu Yan, Zhang Cheng and others, although they were

He has an official title of about the fourth rank. However, he has not been officially appointed as an official, so he does not have his own court.

When Zhengyao woke up, the sunlight had already penetrated the window and shone on the bed.

After a simple wash, I walked towards the palace after breakfast.

Yesterday, I asked many people and many questions in Kunning Palace. Finally, after confirmation by Yuan Haiyun, Zhengyao understood the real reason for the poisoning of Concubine Li. Everything was because of the inexplicable incense burner and Concubine Chen shortly before Concubine Li died.

The rouge box I sent was thought to be related to even if it was not what Chen Fei said. Also, it was Xiaotao who gave the incense burner to Xiaoju. Why did this person give the incense burner containing amaranth to Xiaoju to use for Concubine Li.

Woolen cloth?

Thinking of this, Zhengyao felt that there was something wrong with this little Tao, so he decided to start with Concubine Chen and Xiao Tao.

Since Ning An was not on the side, Zhengyao used it all the way shorter than yesterday. When he arrived at the palace gate, Zhengyao couldn't help but sigh that women were in trouble again.

But when Zhengyao had just finished sighing, he saw two women hurriedly walking out of the palace, one in pink and white clothes and the other in light green clothes. They were nothing else. It was Ning An and Xiao Xi.

Looking at the expressions of the two, Zhengyao suddenly felt an unknown intuition.

"Hey, idiot! Why are you here? Come in quickly!" Ning An didn't say hello when he saw Zhengyao, and his tone was a little impatient.

However, Zhengyao did not care about this. He understood that Ning An must have something to be so nervous. So he stepped into the palace gate and said, "What happened?"

"The palace is on fire! Concubine Chen's bedroom is on fire!" After saying that, Ning An turned around and walked into the palace again.

Xiaoxi nodded at Zhengyao and then followed Ning'an.

Zhengyao was naturally unwilling to fall behind, so he immediately stepped forward and thought while walking. Soon after, he came to the fireplace.

The West Palace is another place where concubines live in the harem. It is naturally smaller than the Kunning Palace. However, in the end, there are more than a dozen concubines and dozens of palace maids and eunuchs living in it.

Zhengyao was a little panicked at this moment, and the ominous feeling became stronger and stronger, and it was almost making him breathless.

For Zhengyao, this matter became even more strange. He finally found out that the incense burner and rouge lipstick might be related to Chen Fei Xiaotao. Overnight, the West Palace caught fire. Could it be that this is really

Coincidence? However, Zhengyao could no longer imagine what kind of coincidence would happen next. Anyway, he had an indescribable intuition in his heart, which made him feel uncomfortable.

At this time, Mo Maoqia also came down from another path under the leadership of a little eunuch to the West Palace. This was also a signature of Jiajing that Mo Maoqia could walk around the palace and help him by the way to see if he could deal with Li

The Concubine case was helpful. After all, Mo Maoqia had previously solved the case with Zhengyao in Wuming Village and had already been heard from Ning An to Jiajing's ears, and he couldn't help but like Mo Maoqia a little.

"Brother!"

"Princess!"

"Prince Annan!"

Zhengyao, Mo Maoqian, Ning'an Xiaoxi and others greeted each other to say hello, and then walked towards the fireplace together.

Feng Bao, the chief official of the Interior, was still yelling about the palace maids and eunuchs to clean up, while the eunuchs and palace maids were walking around the palace in panic, either holding cloth towels or buckets and basins.

No more.

Seeing Ning An and others coming, Feng Bao immediately stepped forward to greet him: "I have met the princess, met Prince Annan, and met Lord Li."

"Eunuch Feng is exempted! Tell me what the damage was caused by this fire and whether there were casualties." Ning An asked as a princess.

Although the West Palace and Ning An have no relationship, I am a princess at least. Now that there is a fire in the palace, I should know about it.

Feng Bao immediately bowed and said, "Go back to the princess! The fire was not serious this time, it just burned a room where the palace was staying. The bedroom of the concubine Chen was closer to the room, and the foot of the house was slightly affected.

.only……"

As he spoke, Feng Bao's face was a little difficult, as if he didn't know how to speak.

When Zhengyao heard Feng Bao's tone, he knew that there must be something unusual, so he immediately stepped forward and said, "It's just something?"

At the same time, Ning An nodded and looked at Feng Bao, indicating that he wanted to ask this question as well.

Feng Bao said whispered: "Back...Princess, Lord Li, but Concubine Chen's palace Bi Xiaotao..."

"What's wrong with Xiao Tao?" Zhengyao asked immediately.

Maybe he really comes to whatever he is afraid of. Zhengyao was praying along the way not to mention Xiaotao's affairs, because Xiaotao was the key person he wanted to meet in the palace this time. However, after hearing Feng Bao's words, Zhengyao

My heart suddenly became cold, and the ominous feeling was completely released.

"Xiao Tao died in the fire!" Feng Bao said helplessly and innocently.

"What?" Zhengyao was worried about it eventually, but Zhengyao quickly mediated and said, "Where is Xiaotao now? Take me to see!"

Ning An nodded again and blinked and informed Feng Bao. Feng Bao did not hesitate much and turned around and walked towards the wing room on the left.

Zhengyao and others followed closely behind and arrived in the wing room more than ten steps.

As soon as he walked into the room, there was a burning smell inside. It seemed that Xiaotao was burned out of recognition.

Sure enough, Zhengyao looked around and saw a person lying straight on the big bed. No, to be precise, it should be a burnt corpse.

Zhengyao stepped in and leaned over to look at Xiao Tao. Then, he found a strip of cloth on the side to wrap his hands, and then began to test the corpse as if he was a coroner.

However, Zhengyao also did it like a lot. After all, he learned from Yuan Haiyun for a while. In addition, when he was in the jing team, he had more or less watched the scene of the forensic officer's autopsy, so he should still be able to see something.

What's going on? Besides, Zhengyao had a precedent for autopsy in the Wuming Valley before, so he seemed at ease at this moment.

"Eighty percent of the surface of the dead body was burned, unrecognizable, and could not be identified; the dead body looked straight and had no traces of twists and turns, and it did not seem to be burned alive; the dead body still had residual heat, so it should have been

It was burned for a while; the mouth of the deceased... huh!"

Zhengyao was flipping the body while talking to himself. When he reached into the mouth of the deceased and spread his mouth apart, Zhengyao was stunned for a moment, as if he had noticed something.

Ning An was the smartest and immediately came over and said, "How? What can we find out?"

Ning An felt that this question was not well-educated, but he still had to ask to show his curiosity.

Zhengyao nodded and said, "Do you remember what was abnormal about the corpse of the Huang brothers when they were in the nameless valley?"

But when Zhengyao saw that he did not directly answer Ning An, he asked another question instead.

Ning An smiled and said, "I still want to test me at this time, don't worry, I have recorded all the words at that time. Among them, the most obvious abnormality of the corpses of the Huang brothers is that there is very little water in their mouths, and it can even be said to be nothing but a complete

No river water is deposited in the mouth."

"What's the reason?" Zhengyao continued to ask.

Ning An said: "The deceased did not die in drowning, but someone killed him in advance, and then pushed him into the river to make an illusion of drowning to confuse everyone!"

I have to say that Ning An still has a strong memory. Although it has not been a few days since he returned from Wuming Valley, it has been more than a month since that incident, and the death of the Huang brothers is just an episode of the same famous case.

Most people should not remember those things, but they still haven't forgotten them if they don't want Ning An.

Perhaps, for Ning'an, she will never forget everything in the nameless valley.

It includes the same famous case, including the stone walls of the back mountain, the rows of bamboo seas in the nameless valley, a bay of ponds and the magical rivers, and the caves that night...

Zhengyao nodded and smiled. He didn't expect this little girl to remember it, so he said, "Well, it's not in vain. My hard work has been taught you."

"Go and go, who wants you to teach me! Don't be so beautiful here!" Ning An pushed Zhengyao back disdainfully, and then she immediately stared at Zhengyao and said, "Do you mean..."

From Ning An's eyes, Zhengyao could already see what Ning An had guessed. It seemed that Ning An had made great progress, which was very different from before.
Chapter completed!
