After fifteen years of cultivation, he finally reached the pinnacle of the first rank!

Chapter 71 Shocking Change
The old eunuch slowly glanced at the concubines around him, hesitated for a moment, but still took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"I just arrived at Yixin Palace, only to discover that everyone, including the Imperial Concubine, is dead, and each one of them died in a horrific manner!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the queen who was drinking tea was stunned for a moment, and the other concubines in the hall also looked up suddenly. For a moment, you could hear a pin drop in the hall.

"Tell me again, what happened?"

The next moment, the queen reacted and stood up suddenly, with a look of surprise and confusion on her face.

She naturally knew that the old eunuch beside her would never dare to lie, especially when it came to the imperial concubine in the palace.

But she really couldn't believe that what the other party said was true.

"I saw it with my own eyes. No one in Yixin Palace survived. Imperial Concubine Ji and all the servants must have been murdered."

The old eunuch also had an ugly expression on his face. He couldn't believe it, but he had seen it with his own eyes.

Moreover, the deaths of Concubine Ji and others were so tragic that he still feels cold in his heart when he thinks about it.

The old eunuch then lowered his head and said in a deep voice:
"My Queen, you are the master of the harem. You will be in charge of this matter from now on."

Upon hearing this, all the concubines in the palace were immediately in an uproar, and each of them showed a look of horror.

You know, the Dali Palace is heavily guarded, not even a mosquito can fly in. It is almost the safest place in the entire Dali.

And now, a noble concubine was actually killed in the palace. This is simply horrifying!
"Everyone, be quiet!"

The queen shouted at the concubines. After a while of expression changing, she looked at the old eunuch and said:
"Your Majesty has been in seclusion since last night and cannot be disturbed for at least two weeks. Immediately inform the eunuch Li Tianyi of this matter and have him personally go to Yixin Palace."

Hearing this, the old eunuch agreed and whispered a reminder:
"The murderer's current situation is unknown. He may still be hiding in the palace. You must be more careful."

After saying this, he turned into a gust of cold wind and disappeared the next moment.

The queen's face turned ugly. Then she called a few eunuchs and ordered:
"Pass on my order to immediately send the Imperial Guards to seal off the inner palace. At the same time, send a message to the palace commander, General Shenwei, to thoroughly search the palace for any trace of the murderer."

After that, she glanced at the concubines in front of her and said coldly:
"No one should spread rumors about this matter."

……

Cangyuan Marquis Mansion.

Above a pit full of white bones, the great detective Guan Tianqian looked solemn and stared at the ground for a long time without saying a word.

Not far away, Fu Yu, the chief of the ten famous detectives in the general office, as well as Ji Feiyun and other detectives were also there.

This morning, before dawn, a constable on duty at the Six Gates found Guan Shanxue lying in front of the Six Gates.

After finally waking him up, he was found to be in a daze, and seemed to have no memory of why he fell into a coma. The only thing he remembered was that Cang Yuning was a flower thief.

After learning of this situation, the Six Gates immediately sent people to the Cangyuan Marquis Mansion to inquire, but they found this scene before their eyes.

Because the matter was of great importance, the constable did not dare to handle it on his own and eventually reported it to higher authorities.

Not only did it alarm Fu Yu and others, but even the great detective Guan Tianqian rushed to the scene as soon as he heard about it.

"What do the servants and maids in the mansion say?"

Guan Tianqian frowned and turned around to ask Fu Yu questions.

Fu Yu shook his head and said:

"There's an order in the Marquis' Mansion not to leave their rooms at night. Someone heard a fight last night, but no one dared to come out, so we don't know the details."

Guan Tianqian nodded slightly, then asked:
"Has Cang Yuning's identity as a flower thief been confirmed?"

Fu Yu hesitated for a while, but still nodded.

He was about to speak, but at this moment Guan Tianqian's eyes moved, as if he had discovered something, and suddenly said in a deep voice:
"Get out of my way!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Yu and the others, though confused as to what was going on, still retreated from the courtyard. At the same time, Guan Tianqian suddenly rose from the ground, rising several feet into the air without a breeze. He turned his palm and gently patted the courtyard below.

The next moment, a palm-shaped shadow as big as a house fell from the sky and slammed into the yard.

In an instant, the soil flew and the dust vibrated, and gullies appeared on the entire ground, which then formed several lines of handwriting.

Guan Tianqian in the sky glanced at the handwriting, his expression changed slightly, and then he slowly descended from the sky.

At this time, Fu Yu and others around naturally saw the words on the ground, and they all looked shocked.

"This……"

Ji Feiyun was horrified, as those few lines of words revealed the truth behind the hidden bones in Marquis Cangyuan's mansion.

But he couldn't believe that this matter actually involved the imperial concubine in the palace.

"grown ups."

Fu Yu hurried to Guan Tianqian, hesitated for a moment, and asked:

"Should we continue investigating this case?"

Guan Tianqian glanced at him and did not answer the other party's question immediately. Instead, he said slowly:

"The person who attacked was very powerful. From what I observed, he seemed to be able to kill people simply by using his true energy. Therefore, I cannot tell what kind of martial arts he used."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on the words and continued:
"But what I can confirm is that this person must be a master of the Heavenly Man Realm. Moreover, the fact that he was able to leave words on the ground without leaving any trace shows that his control over the true energy of heaven and earth has reached a state of perfection."

Hearing this, Fu Yu didn't say anything, but just frowned.

At this time, Guan Tianqian shook his head and said:

"Since the other party left a message, it means that they hope we can investigate further. We don't need to offend such people, don't you think?"

"But what if we do this and offend that person in the palace..."

Guan Tianqian waved his hand and said:
"The Six Gates are investigating according to the law. There's no question of offending anyone. We just need to find the truth. As for what happens next, the Ministry of Justice and His Majesty will handle it. It has nothing to do with us."

Then, he looked at Fu Yu, patted his shoulder and said:

"I know you have a close relationship with the Cangyuan Marquisate, but public is public and private is private. Don't let me down."

After saying that, Guan Tianqian did not stay any longer and turned to leave.

However, what no one saw at this moment was that Guan Tianqian was holding a small stone in his hand.

It was not until he left Cangyuan Marquis Mansion that he slowly unfolded the stone in his hand, only to see a line of words engraved on it:
"Noble Concubine Ji is dead, investigate the case thoroughly."

……

"interesting."

Guan Tianqian narrowed his eyes and then looked towards the direction of the palace:

"I want to see if that imperial concubine is really dead?"

The words on the stone clearly carried a hint of threat.

Although, Guan Tianqian had no intention of suppressing the case from the beginning to the end.

But this matter involves too many important people, and the pressure he will face in the future will definitely be great. It is difficult to guarantee that he can really get to the bottom of it.

Guan Tianqian looked thoughtful, then shook his head.

He couldn't break into the palace and kill the concubine, but if the other party could do it, then he would probably have to think carefully about the threat the other party posed to him.
