(The title is the same, this is also a new chapter)
A conversation between Shan Tao and Zhuo Yang allowed him to grasp the most crucial thing.
The corpse under the Suzaku Bridge!
If the prisoner really follows Yuan Tiangang's method and wants to refine the "human elixir" of immortality, then the most important thing is the "elix furnace".
That's the female corpse tied under the Suzaku Bridge!
Shan Tao suddenly understood why the female body found in Jinggongfang was casually abandoned on the roadside.
But the body under the Zhuque Bridge was carefully handled and tied up under the Zhuque Bridge.
It turns out that for the murderer, Jing Gongfang's corpse was just an "alchemy material" that could be thrown away casually, but the corpse under the Suzaku Bridge was a precious alchemy furnace.
It turns out that I was going in the wrong direction!
Wait, where is the body under the Suzaku Bridge now?
Shan Tao suddenly became alert, and the body found under the Zhuque Bridge that day was transported to Jing Zhaoyin's afternoon workshop.
etc!
Jing Zhaoyin Cui Guangyuan was originally a villain with both ends of the head and the rat. If these murders were really related to the East Palace, then a weakling like Jing Zhaoyin would definitely hand over the body.

Shan Tao immediately picked up the saber and said while sending messages to other players:
"Let's go! Go to Jing Zhaoyin's afternoon studio!"
Shan Tao immediately led his men and rushed to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion in Xinghuafang.
In the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, a black-armored general with his face covered was facing the fourth-rank Jingzhao Yin Cui Guangyuan, but he just said calmly:
"I have a stomachache, so I can only give a military salute. Please forgive me, Great Yin!"
However, Jingzhao Yin Cui Guangyuan said flatteringly: "General Wu Zhonglang is too polite. Do you still need General Zhonglang to come in person for such a small matter? You only need to post a piece of paper, and I will naturally deliver the things to your house."
Cui Guangyuan, the double talent of the Tang Dynasty and the Pseudo-Yan Dynasty, although he was tactful and changeable, and his judgment of the current situation was very accurate, he could always benefit from jumping left and right.
But there is actually a big reason why Cui Guangyuan jumps around like this, that is, he has no backer.
Jing Zhaoyin is already a senior official of the fourth rank, but if Cui Guangyuan wants to go further, he cannot rely on being an official.
Because of his repeated behavior, Cui Guangyuan was despised by important officials in the imperial court and had no backing at all in the political affairs hall.
Now the emperor and the important officials of the imperial court are still in Fengxiang Mansion. If he waits until the emperor returns to Luan Chang'an and there is no backer to support him, Jing Zhaoyin will easily be punished and demoted for not doing things well.
And even if you do things effectively, there are so many powerful people in the court. If you offend anyone by governing Chang'an too harshly, you will also be demoted.
The military general in black armor in front of him is the right guard of the East Palace leading the Zhonglang General Wu Cao, and this Wu Zhonglang came to Jingzhao Yin to take away the female corpse from Jingzhao Yin Wu Zuojian.
If it had been another corpse, Cui Guangyuan would have handed the body directly to Wu Cou.
But the eucalyptus hiding the corpse under the Suzaku Bridge is no small matter. It is a eucalyptus that attracts the attention of both the government and the public.
If the body is handed over to Wu Min now, Cui Guangyuan will not be able to explain to the court.
Although he wanted to please the prince, Cui Guangyuan still asked one more question:
"I wonder what relationship Wu Zhonglang will have with this victim?"
Cui Guangyuan also had to bite the bullet. If Dong Gong came to ask for the body, he would have killed him without asking any questions before. However, this bastard was concerned about the government and the public. If Dong Gong took the body directly, Cui Guangyuan would have no way to explain.
Wu Minao looked at Cui Guangyuan with squinting eyes. The right guard of the East Palace, Zhonglang General, was a military attaché of the fourth rank, and he was also the leader of the East Palace Guards who were the most ceremonial guard of the prince. Although Cui Guangyuan was above him in seniority and rank, Wu Minao was the prince's subordinate.
His confidants did not like Jing Zhaoyin, who had a bad reputation.
Wu Minu came up with the words he had already prepared and said:
"The deceased was a servant girl from Donggong Huanxi. She disappeared half a month ago."
Cui Guangyuan said: "When Jingzhao Mansion posted a notice a few days ago asking people to claim the body, why didn't the East Palace send someone to claim it?"
After Cui Guangyuan finished speaking, Wu Minao snorted coldly again, and his armor and stomach shook.
Cui Guangyuan trembled with fright and regretted why he kept asking this question.
However, Wu Minu still answered Cui Guangyuan’s question:
"There are so many servants and maids in the East Palace, and no one takes them seriously. But a few days ago, when Dou Changshi heard the steward's report, he thought of the notice from Jingzhao Mansion, so he sent someone to inquire. Sure enough, he was missing.
That maid is the corpse under the Suzaku Bridge."
"But I'm from the East Palace, and the news is aroused. Dou Changshi just didn't let us come to collect the body."
"The weather has passed in the past few days, and Dou Changshi just asked us to come over. After all, we are from the East Palace. We can't just leave it in the afternoon. It's better to lay it in the ground."
"The prince specifically inquired about this matter and said that he could not let the servants of the East Palace feel cold. He specially allocated money and asked us to buy a cemetery outside the city so that this poor man could have a place to stay after his death."
Then Wu Minato said: "His Royal Highness is kind and virtuous."
Cui Guangyuan also said quickly: "His Royal Highness is kind and virtuous! This is truly the blessing of our Tang Dynasty."
Wu Minu moved the prince out, and Cui Guangyuan was ready to let go.
Although he has been a Jing Zhaoyin for many years, he also knows that it is strange for Dong Palace to suddenly mention the body.
But this kind of matter involves the prince, and he doesn't want to get into trouble by asking more questions.
Cui Guangyuan let go so easily, Wu Minao glanced at him and said:
"It's convenient for Cui Dafu to travel today. I'll report back to the East Palace in the future!"
Cui Guangyuan was immediately overjoyed. Wu Chou showed his kindness. Could it be that the prince was showing kindness to him?
Being able to jump repeatedly between the Yan Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, Cui Guangyuan naturally has a keen sense of politics.
He also keenly felt the connection between Dong Palace and this eucalyptus.
Wu Minu's show of goodwill was not only to get Jingzhao Mansion to hand over the body to them, but also to get Cui Guangyuan to suppress the situation.
Cui Guangyuan happened to have no backers, so the prince's overtures allowed him to seize the opportunity.
Cui Guangyuan immediately promised: "Please tell the prince, Mr. Cui, that Mr. Cui will do a good job."
Only then did Wu Minu look at Cui Guangyuan. As expected, those who could reach the fourth rank were not ordinary people.
Without saying anything himself, Cui Guangyuan had already expressed his stance to the prince.
Wu Minao nodded, put on his black armor, picked up the voucher written by Cui Guangyuan, and walked towards Wuzuofang.
Cui Guangyuan walked around the study excitedly.
Crisis and opportunity coexist!
The fate of the corpse hidden in Zhuque Bridge is one that can affect Cui Guangyuan's career.
But if the matter involves the prince, and you can establish a relationship with the prince through this embarrassment, then it doesn't matter even if your career is hindered.
The current emperor's health is not very good. As long as the prince can succeed to the throne, he can go one step further with this contribution!
Although I don’t know why the Prince’s Mansion is involved in such a fate, Cui Guangyuan, a veteran official in the officialdom, knows very well that you shouldn’t ask about things you shouldn’t ask!
Wu Minu and his people quickly arrived at the afternoon workshop behind Jingzhao Mansion.
The lunch room is used to store corpses, and it is also the most tiring and dirty job in the entire Jingzhao Mansion.
Lao Wangtou, the government servant who was guarding the noon room, saw Wu Minato in black armor and the murderous soldiers behind him. He was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.
When he saw Fu Yin's order, Lao Wangtou was also in a dilemma.
This life is not over yet, the body must be handed over to irrelevant people.
Donggong just said that the body was that of a maid in their house, but did not provide any evidence.
Doing so is definitely against the rules and even violates Tang law.
But with the governor's order, how could Lao Wang, the first servant guarding the noon room, fight against the majestic Zhonglang General of the East Palace?
However, Jingzhao Yin Cui Guangyuan, a slippery old fox, did not formally issue the official document, but used a private warrant to issue the order.
If something really happened and were investigated, the unlucky person would definitely be Lao Wangtou, who was directly in charge of the lunch room.
Lao Wangtou only felt that people were sitting in the Yamen and the pot came from the sky, and he did not dare not to hand over the body to Wu Min.
At this time, Shan Tao and his men also arrived at Wu Zuojian.
"Old Wangtou, where is the body of Suzaku Bridge Eucalyptus? Be sure to keep an eye on it!"
When Lao Wangtou heard Shan Tao's shout, his face became even more ugly, and he quickly winked at Shan Tao.
Shan Tao was so anxious that he didn't even look at Lao Wangtou's expression and rushed directly to the noon room.
At this time, Wu Minao also saw Shan Tao rushing over. He stared at Shan Tao, who was wearing shabby armor, and his hand was already on the handle of the knife.
Lao Wangtou was also a vigilant person. He immediately shouted to Shan Tao: "Street patrol envoys, these are the people from the East Palace, and they are here to collect the body at Zhuque Bridge!"
When Lao Wangtou shouted, Shan Tao woke up immediately.
People from the East Palace!
He immediately drew his sword, and the bad guys behind him also drew their swords.
This eucalyptus is indeed related to the East Palace!
Wu Minao also didn't expect that such a mere street patrolman would react so quickly, so decisively, so boldly, and even dare to draw his sword when he heard that he was from the East Palace.
He also didn't expect that those bad guys would be able to follow this street patrolman to fight for their lives.
Of course Wu Minao didn't know how much Shan Tao had done during this period to win over his subordinates. Now, the bad guys in these three gangs are following Shan Tao wholeheartedly.
Wu Minu originally wanted to keep a low profile, so he only brought four subordinates.
Although the people they brought were all elites, compared to the dozen or so bad guys behind Shan Tao, they were really at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.
Moreover, the Shan Tao in front of him gave people a strong sense of oppression, and he did not look like an ordinary general at all.
Shan Tao said: "According to Tang law, no one can take away anything related to the case before it is settled. This body is the key evidence of the entire case. How can you just take it away!"
"
Shan Tao looked at Wu Minu angrily, who took out Cui Guangyuan's warrant, and Shan Tao said again:
"The governor's warrant is no greater than the law of the Tang Dynasty! The body cannot be taken away!"
