"Announce the decree?" Shang Wen's right hand whirled with the back of his left hand, pursed his lips, stood up quickly, raised his cuffs, and then led everyone outside the door to receive the decree. "Caomin Shangwen received the decree..." Everyone knelt down, alone.
Shang Wen, who had the exclusive privilege of not having to kneel down even to see the emperor, stood bent down in the middle.
Ding Yi saw Dugu Cheng majestically leading the crowd to stand outside the door. They all had sabers on their waists and held their chests high. When their eyes glanced over, sparks of hatred burst out as soon as they met Dugu Cheng, but their expressions changed briefly.
Dugu Cheng looked at Ding Yi with a calm face, spread out the imperial edict, and read in a loud voice: "By God's blessing, the emperor has decreed that Shang Wen will be given an imperial pen and thousands of fine wines for his meritorious service in assisting in the investigation of the murder of the divine fortune teller.
Thousands of silks and satins..." At the same time, Dugu City glanced around with his peripheral vision, sensing the defense of Shang Mansion, and found that it was indeed as expected. Shang Wen sent a large number of people because of his treasure, and the defense of the manor was weak, so he was determined to test hard.
.
"It's just a trivial matter. The emperor sent the Duke of Zhen to announce the reward with such great force. In addition to looking at the power of my merchant family, I'm afraid it has other purposes!" Shang Wen thought to himself, and then reached out to receive the order and said: "Thank you, Lord.
Yeah!" The others then stood up.
"Mr. Shang, the emperor personally sent me to commend you this time. I asked for it on behalf of the emperor. I just hope that you, the old man, will not remember the villain's mistakes and don't worry about the incident of a dog charging and forcibly raiding the Baicao Village where you once belonged."
Dugu Cheng handed over the imperial edict and whispered in his ear, with a sinister smile on his lips that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.
"The Duke of Zhen Guo asked for merit for me and interceded in person, and the purpose of searching Baicao Village is to find the real culprit. I, Shang Wen, will never argue with Master Dugu!" Shang Wen accepted the imperial edict, then extended his hand to invite: "Zhen Guo Gong
Duke, since you are here to visit me, you might as well sit down and talk..."
"Mr. Shang, don't worry, I still have an imperial edict to declare!" Dugu Cheng glanced at Ding Yi, Long Er and Dongfang Yun from the corner of his eyes, took another imperial edict from the hand of Yang Zunshi next to him, spread it out and said: "
By God's fate, the emperor called and said that according to the investigation, when the princess lived in Baicao Village, there was a night attack and siege by the killers of the Life and Death Sect. The case was of great importance, so the government was specially ordered and the businessmen who had made great contributions in assisting in the investigation of the case of the fortune teller were ordered.
assist investigation!"
"People obey!" Shang Wen accepted the order, feeling in his heart that the matter would not be that simple. Later, Dugu Cheng added: "According to the investigation by the imperial envoy sent by the emperor, the assassination of the princess was committed by the Life and Death Sect, but other
The mastermind behind the scenes is Tianji, the sword boy and the head of the Dongfang Family, Dongfang Yun, who disappeared two years ago and suddenly appeared again, and they are now leading the arrest!"
"Dugu City is really ruthless. They first rewarded me by assisting in the investigation of the Shen Shuzi case and blocked my mouth. Then they dragged me into investigating the case of the princess being assassinated. Now they are framing Ding Yi, Long Er, and the head of the Dongfang family. In this way, I
Although the merchant is strong, it is difficult to help openly... But Ding Yi is hard for me to know, so how can I just let it go..." Shang Wen hesitated in his heart and slowly stood up straight. At this time, Shang Wanquan came over and said
"Master, I just received a letter from Feiying. Something went wrong with your treasure. Shang Zhonggeng and others sent out are handling the matter, but the clue is in the hands of Dugu City. If we don't cooperate, there will be consequences."
It’s hard to predict.”
"My dear, he...sigh...my son died early, nothing can happen to him again! Ding Yi also needs to be saved..." Shang Wentai's unmoved expression as he collapsed in front of him was actually moved, and he clenched his fists tightly.
, he regained his composure after a moment, raised his head and replied: "Mr. Zhen Guo, since the imperial envoy has found out the results of his investigation, why not let him produce evidence and come and get the person himself?"
"Mr. Shang, the imperial envoy has gone to trace the clues to the Gate of Life and Death, so I will handle it here. As for the evidence, Tianji, Sword Boy, and Dongfang Yun are all highly skilled martial artists. If they were to present it now, they would probably destroy it on the spot! For safety reasons, we cannot present it until the final court appearance." Dugu Cheng stood up with his hands behind his back.
"Oh? Is that true?" Shang Wen said calmly, his hands crossed in front of his lower abdomen.
"Yes! If Mr. Shang doesn't believe it, I can cite some logical evidence. As far as I know, Dongfang Hai Pavilion still hangs a couplet written by the former emperor: The Oriental Pearl towers over the world, and the Hai Pavilion Temple roars into the blue clouds. It is no longer the past Chao, it seems that he has treason. Furthermore, the head of the Dongfang family used the name of Jie Qi Gua to invite all the divine fortune tellers from all over the world to gather in Mufeng City, but they all died overnight, leaving only the divine fortune tellers and the blind Taoist priests. .
Then, the divine fortune teller solved the strange hexagram and became famous all over the world. But according to my dog's exploration, the divine fortune teller was not worthy of his name, because he could not solve the strange hexagram of Li that Tianji performed for my Dugu family. If he could really solve it, The Qian hexagram is one of the eight great hexagrams in the world. This hexagram can definitely be solved.
The fact that the divine fortune teller's name was not true was afraid of being exposed and exposing the ulterior motives of Patriarch Dongfang and Tianji, so Patriarch Dongfang deliberately visited with the princess and the dog, and sent someone to deliberately murder him. Patriarch Dongfang chased the killer. , but ultimately failed, and then used the reputation of a city-wide search to deliberately draw a portrait of the murderer to show sincerity, but privately opened loopholes to allow the murderer to take the opportunity to escape."
When Ding heard this, he became angry. He knew clearly that what Dugu Cheng said was false, but he could still say that he was the blind Taoist priest and Long Er was the sword boy. They escaped from Mu Feng City with the help of Shang Wen. Otherwise, after speaking out, the case of the fortune teller was solved, Tang Yu personally killed the murderer, the head of the Dongfang family testified, and Shang Wen assisted in the investigation. The three people who helped him will be charged with deceiving the king, and he and Long The son is a murderer and deceives the king, and the crime is even higher. In this way, everyone will be suspicious. Ding Yi secretly hates: "Dugu City looks kind to others, but at heart he is vicious!"
Shang Wen, Long Er, Dongfang Yun and Ding Yi felt the same and were speechless for a moment. After Dugu Cheng saw it, he secretly laughed in his heart: "I knew you would be like this. Fortunately, Han'er reported his latest information at any time, so that I could do my best to keep the secret." !Watch how I kill you this time!"
Dugu City then said: "After Gu'er learned that the murderer had escaped, he and the head of the Dongfang family rushed after him, but they separated on the way. Quan'er chased him to Fulu City, forcibly searched Baicao Manor, met the princess, and left on the order of the princess. But Quan'er felt something was wrong, so he visited Baicao Manor at night, and found that the princess was lured to Baicao Manor by pretending to be seriously ill."
"Mr. Zhen Guo, the young master went to Baicao Manor for treatment because he was seriously ill. The princess came from Mufeng City and was not brought on by the young master! Don't come here to frame me!" Long Er thought. He is relatively blunt, but after hearing Dugu's constant vicious words to frame Ding Yi, he blurts out in anger.
Ding Yi and Shang Wen sighed at the same time, secretly thinking that Long'er had fallen into the trap. But Dugu Cheng's eyes were right in his heart, thinking: "I have learned from Han'er that the blind Taoist priest and the Taoist boy were the Tianji and the sword boy back then. This sword boy is mentally retarded and extremely loyal to Tianji. Although he usually doesn't say much, whenever things are critical to Tianji, he will help without thinking because of the savior's eagerness. Now he has really been fooled!"
Afterwards, Dugu Cheng dusted off his clothes, walked softly to Long'er, and said with a proud smile: "According to what you said, Tianji and you originally stayed in Mufeng City. This further proves that you and the head of the Dongfang Family are
They have already colluded."
Long Er said anxiously: "You..." Ding Yi stopped him in time and signaled him not to talk any more. Dugu Cheng saw this and crossed his hands in a circle, then said: "The princess loves Tianji deeply. This is true among the princes and nobles."
It has been an open secret for a long time. Since Tianji's death two years ago, the princess has been extremely interested in hexagrams because of her love for Tianji. She has searched all over the world for divine hexagrams. The head of the Dongfang family has used the method of interpreting the so-called strange hexagrams as his method.
The princess was invited to the village, and then she died one after another using the divine hexagrams to seduce her step by step, leading the princess to Baicao Village, which was once owned by a merchant in Fulu City.
However, when the head of the Dongfang family was chasing the so-called murderer, he deliberately chased in the wrong direction. First, he pursued him straight to Juesha City, and then to Wanshou City in the south. According to Quan'er's report, Quan'er had sent
Someone notified the head of the Dongfang family to assist in the investigation, but the head of the Dongfang family has not arrived yet and even arrived at Wanshou City. At first, I didn't understand it, but later I figured it out.
When the head of the Dongfang family was not in Fulu City, the case of assassinating the princess by the Gate of Life and Death happened. In this way, the head of the Dongfang family had evidence of alibi. Later, the princess found the secret hall of the Gate of Life and Death in Fulu City.
When he led the crowd to inquire, he was surrounded and killed. Fortunately, Quan'er and Yin Protector arrived in time to relieve the crisis. But at this time, Tianji and Sword Boy appeared and killed the Gate of Life and Death killers present, killing them to silence them.
.After that, he killed the dog even more frantically. The Yin Protector was unable to defeat the four hands with his two fists, so he had to escape with the injured dog's body.
Later, General Tang Yu, Mr. Shang and the head of the Dongfang family appeared behind the scenes. Tianji and the sword boy knew that the matter was exposed and fled quickly. The blind Taoist priest and Tao boy who were ordered were discussing the plan with the Mei Dharma King of the Gate of Life and Death in the inner hall of the Mei Family Courtyard.
When the incident came out, he was killed by General Tang Yu, and King Meifa was defeated. Fortunately, the princess escaped again. It was only because Mr. Shang was kind-hearted and did not know the real conspiracy of the matter that he was killed by Tianji and the sword.
The children deceived them and left them to rest in the house... Today I am here to arrest them and bring them to justice!"
"Mr. Zhen Guo, it seems that this logic is really true. I would like to ask, I, Long Er, what is the purpose of the Dongfang Patriarch trying so hard to kill the princess?" Ding straightened up and said,
He looked calm and confident, as if he had already grasped the conclusion that Dugu Cheng had worked out with all his energy.
"Purpose? Huh! Huh! The head of the Dongfang family was greatly favored by the previous dynasty and wanted to fulfill his so-called loyalty by assassinating the princess. Your Tianji turned into hatred out of love and wanted to kill the princess, but the sword boy was foolishly loyal to you, so he became
Accomplice." Dugu Cheng swallowed with slightly suppressed lips, stretched his neck forward slightly and then slowly retracted it.
"Mr. Zhen Guo, if it's as you said, I can also make a logical argument and give you another evidence!" Ding Yi's slightly lowered head suddenly raised, and he stared at Dugu City in fear.
"Oh?" Dugu Cheng suddenly froze with a look like a fish thorn choking his throat. He took a deep breath, nodded again, and said with a kind smile: "Tianji, our country of Cangyun is based on the law, and we pay the most attention to fairness. We always commit crimes.
You can appeal after the case is settled. Since you have other evidence today, I am all ears!"
