In the afternoon of that day, Ye Cheng changed into an official uniform, while Qi Ying wore a low-level general's armor, and the two hurried to the Qin Palace.

"Stop!" Before he could get close, the Forbidden Army's halberds were already crossed.

This is inevitable. Ye Cheng didn't waste any time. He quickly took out his token and handed it to the Imperial Army: "I am General Wuwei. I have something to ask you to see your Majesty. Please let me know."

He is the highest officer of the Wuwei Mansion, with the same rank as the third rank, and his rank is not small. However, after the imperial army saw the token, it returned it to Ye Cheng and said solemnly: "Excuse me, sir, we are only responsible for guarding the palace."

, I am not responsible for delivering the message. If you have something to meet with your Majesty, please report it yourself until your Majesty summons you."

Hearing this, Ye Cheng became anxious. If this was to be announced, how long would it take? He said with a smile on his face: "You saw the token just now. I do have something important to do, so please be accommodating."

"My lord, forgive me." The Imperial Guard said, returning to his original position and standing straight.

"You!" The Forbidden Army did nothing wrong, but this time, Ye Cheng was angry. He gritted his teeth and yelled angrily:

"This is unreasonable! I have said it! I have something important to meet with the king! It is related to the safety of the country! If we delay it, something big will happen! Can you afford it?"

When he said this, the Imperial Guards looked at each other first, then weighed it up, and one of them said: "Okay, my lord, I will report it to the higher ups later."

"Hurry up and go!" Ye Cheng also lost his temper.

Seeing how serious his actions were, it seemed that there was something really important. The imperial guards did not dare to delay any longer, so they hurriedly ran into the palace and reported the matter to the superiors.

After waiting at the palace gate for a long time, the news came out, and Xiao Yuan orally ordered Ye Cheng to enter the palace.

The latter was overjoyed and immediately took Qi Ying and quickly headed towards the palace study under the guidance.

At this time, Xiao Yuan was giving instructions on the memorial in the study. After Ye Cheng and Qi Ying came in, they both knelt on the ground at the same time and said in unison: "See your Majesty——"

"Pingsheng." Xiao Yuan said without raising his head. He kept writing on the bamboo slips with the brush in his hand, and after refuting the advice of Yong'an County Sheriff, he also gave certain instructions.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two stood up, and Xiao Yuan continued to ask, "What's the matter? But there are clues to the murder?"

"This..." Ye Cheng carefully looked at Xiao Yuan's face, and then said: "There are some clues, but I... I dare to ask the king to give me a few more days of grace."

"What?" Xiao Yuan almost laughed out loud when he heard this. At the same time, he stopped what he was doing and looked up at Ye Cheng. Seeing that there was another person beside him, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

Seeing this, Ye Cheng quickly explained: "Your Majesty, this person's name is Qi Ying, and he is an officer of the Wuwei Mansion. In this case, it was him who peeled off the cocoon and cleared away the fog step by step, so that we have the current clues."

As he spoke, he hurriedly said to Qi Ying: "Xiao Qi, why don't you explain it to the king in detail?"

"Yes." Qi Ying responded quickly. This was the first time he met Xiao Yuan, and he was inevitably nervous because he was a young monarch who was decisive in killing. He had defeated the entire Qin State with his army.

The majesty of those who came down is unquestionable.

Xiao Yuan looked at him and waited for him to continue. His first impression of Qi Ying was actually good.

The latter swallowed subconsciously, lowered his body slightly, organized his tone, and began to explain the clues to Xiao Yuan in detail.

After listening to what he said, Xiao Yuan squinted his eyes and said, "Are you sure of these clues?"

"Back to your Majesty, by following this line, we will definitely be able to find out the identity of the deceased. Once the identity of the deceased is known, it will be easier to find the murderer." Qi Ying returned seriously.

"Well..." Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "If this is the case, the deceased was a commoner in Shu, and three days is indeed not enough..."

At this time, Qi Ying knelt down again and said bravely: "I beg your Majesty to grant me ten more days of grace. In ten days, I will definitely solve this case!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan's heart moved, and he couldn't help but said: "Qi Ying, you know that if you dare to joke in front of me, you will be deceiving the king!"

"My lord, it only takes ten days!" Qi Ying said again.

At this time, Ye Cheng panicked and knelt down, saying anxiously: "This, this, your Majesty, it will take several days to get from Qinzhou to Shuzhong, and Shuzhong is so big, these ten days...

"

"This is what the officers of your Wuwei Mansion said themselves. If this is the case, then in ten days, after ten days, I will see the results! Otherwise, the head will be at risk!" Xiao Yuan interrupted him directly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand casually: "If you have nothing to do, please retreat."

"This...is, Wei Chen is resigning." The matter was settled, and Ye Cheng had no choice but to bow to Qi Ying and retreat.

After waiting outside, it is conceivable that Ye Cheng couldn't help but started to complain: "I say, Xiao Qi, how dare you boast so much in front of your Majesty? If the ten-day deadline is up, the case will not be resolved."

Damn it, what should I do?"

"Don't worry, sir, ten days is definitely enough." Qi Ying said with confidence.

Seeing him like this, Ye Cheng couldn't help but feel moved, and quickly asked: "Oh? What's your plan?"

Qi Ying said: "After returning to the government, your Excellency, in the name of the general government, immediately sent an order to the Wuwei Mansion in all areas of central Sichuan. Wherever there is a dyeing workshop, the blue dye must be collected."

There are Wuwei Mansion in every place. Once the net is cast, you can imagine.

Ye Cheng also understood what he meant, and immediately said: "That's right! In this way, we can compare them one by one. As long as we find the ones that are exactly the same as those of the deceased, we can lock the dyeing shop and then the identity of the deceased."

"Your Excellency is wise," Qi Ying said, cupping his fists.

After having this clue, and under Qi Ying's suggestion, Ye Cheng didn't waste a moment. After returning, he immediately handed down the order.

The order from the Military Guard General Office was issued and spread to various places. All of a sudden, officers and soldiers from all over the place began to move.

And they were looking for dye, but Wei Zhong didn't know it was related to the murder, so he didn't pay much attention.

It didn't take long at all. With soldiers from all over the place, some dyes from various dyeing houses were brought back. When Ye Cheng and Qi Ying rushed to Shuzhong, the blue dyes had already been collected and were waiting.

Let them compare.

Yong'an Wuwei Mansion.

At this time, six days have passed since the ten-day deadline.

In the mansion, the two of them have been busy for a long time.

"This color looks a bit like..."

"No, the smell is different..."

"What about this..."

"The materials are different..."

In this way, two days later, Qi Ying finally found the same dye as the one on the deceased. He rubbed the dye with his fingers. After observing, he put it under his nose from time to time and smelled it carefully. After a while, he turned to Ye Cheng

Said: "Sir, I found it."

Ye Cheng understood and nodded towards him first, then looked at the small strip of cloth next to the dye.
