The black-bellied concubine is not favored

Hearing this, Mu Tianxue's expression froze, and then she recovered as before, and continued to eat. After breakfast, she asked Lai to send her son back to Zichen Palace, and she said in a concentrated voice: "It's them?"

The three major officials of the imperial court were massacred all over their families in one night, how cruel and terrifying, not to mention alarming the people in the city, it is even more frightening for all the officials, this is causing people to be terrified!

Long Chen also picked up a memorial from the desk and handed it to Mu Tianxue, "This is the memorial presented by Dali Temple Secretary today, take a look."

Mu Tianxue looked solemn, took a look at the memorial, then threw it on the desk, pondered for a moment, and said: "They all died after the poisonous arsenic and their heads were beheaded. For such a big bloody case, Murong Xuan and Senior Qin Did you notice it over there?"

As far as she knew, those traitors lurking in the dark were all secretly sent by Murong Xuan and Qin Hongsu to watch them. If those people were motivated, Murong Xuan and Qin Hongsu would definitely notice them immediately. do unless...

"The murderer of the bloody case was able to wipe out the three major officials without alarming others. His martial arts must be extraordinary. Could it be him?" Except for that person, she couldn't think of anyone who had such abilities and could easily be followed. His people killed hundreds of people without anyone noticing.

But, she hesitated, this doesn't look like his method of killing, if he wants to kill, there is no need to do anything extra...

"Do you think it's him?" Long Chen also leaned back in the chair, with the corners of his lips raised, and a smile overflowed, which showed that she didn't trust that person at all, and he was noncommittal and happy in his heart, but he slowly Slowly said: "This is not his style."

"That's right, it's really not his style, he won't do unnecessary stupid things." Mu Tianxue leaned back on the chair, folded her arms in front of her chest, stared at Long Chen and said: "I suspect that massacre The members of the three major officials are not traitors lurking in the dark, but people from the three major officials' houses."

"What do you base your reasoning on?" Long Chen also thought of this, but Mu Tianxue said it first, and he also wanted to hear whether what Mu Tianxue thought was the same as what he thought.

"First of all, this bloody case was ruled out to be the work of people lurking in Beijing. Secondly, I met He Xuan last night. He Xuan didn't mention the massacre of officials. Hong Yi has been following He Xuan since last night. If He Xuan did it, Hong Yi I will definitely report it in time." After a pause, Mu Tianxue continued: "Sima Heng is also ruled out of suspicion. He has always killed people cleanly and neatly. He is good at using meteor darts. He doesn't like to use swords. He will never poison people and treat others After death, Fang beheaded, and Sima Heng had no motive to kill officials."

In the memorial presented by the Shaoqing of the Great Burial Temple, there is also an autopsy report on the homes of the three officials. The three officials all died of arsenic and were beheaded by a sharp weapon such as a sword. This kind of killing method is not Sima Heng. handwriting.

"Excluding these people, it is most likely that, without anyone noticing, poisoning the three major officials and beheading the whole family, only the people in the three major official's mansions." Seeing Long Chen, he said nothing. , just listening quietly, Mu Tianxue continued: "I suspect that someone planted an assassin in the residence of the three major officials, or bribed someone, and if I want to prove whether my guess is right or wrong, I just need to interrogate Medical clinics and pharmacies, large and small, can know about it.”

"Well, there will be news soon." Long Chen also agrees with Mu Tianxue's guess. After he got the autopsy report and read the autopsy report, he guessed that the killer was probably someone from the three major officials' houses. , So let the order go on, and let people immediately check all the medical centers and pharmacies in the city.

"There is another very important point." Mu Tianxue leaned forward, approached Long Chenyi who was opposite, and said solemnly: "The three people who died were all officials from the Six Departments? The enemy seems to be targeting the Six Departments." .”

The six ministers in charge of the six departments are all Long Chenyi's confidantes, the enemy's attack will remove Long Chenyi's three confidants, and it will be difficult to find suitable people in a short period of time to be in charge of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials.

"This is indeed the key point. The Ministry of War is in charge of soldiers and military needs. It cannot be without officials for a day. I have entrusted Prime Minister Han with full responsibility for all matters of the Ministry of War." When Long Chen also said this, his face was expressionless, and his eyes were full. The eyes looked profound and unfathomable, making it impossible to see through.

Mu Tianxue's eyes froze, and she stared at Long Chen closely, trying to see some clues from his deep and indifferent eyes, but in those darker and deeper eyes, she could only see a sharp blade honed by Frost, which was so cold, Sharp and shocking.

"Report to the emperor, Commander Wang seeks an audience." At this time, Hong Shao entered the inner hall and said respectfully.Long Chen also raised his hands, and said expressionlessly: "Xuan."

Hong Shao exited the inner hall in response, within half a minute, she led Wang Chao into the inner hall, Wang Chao knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and respectfully said: "See the emperor for your humble position."

"Say." Long Chen also said a simple word with a strong majesty, did not get the order to stand up, the dynasty did not dare to stand up, but raised his head to look at Long Chenyi, and said: "Go back to the emperor, come on!" Within half a year, some servants of Shangshu's mansion went to Hua'an Pharmacy to buy arsenic."

Mu Tianxue stared at the kneeling Dynasty, and asked unhurriedly: "How can the shopkeeper of the pharmacy be sure that the person who bought the arsenic is a servant of the Shangshufu?"

Wang Chao said: "In the words of the empress, arsenic is highly poisonous. There is a rule in the imperial court. Medical clinics and drug stores do not have a large amount of arsenic in stock. The shopkeeper said that three to four months ago, a man who claimed to be It was the guard of the Shangshu Mansion, and he went to the pharmacy to order half a catty of arsenic in one go, and the shopkeeper took note of that person, and I have already brought the shopkeeper."

As the words fell, a royal guard escorted a man in his fifties into the inner hall. The man over forty had already turned pale from fright, his thin body kneeling on the ground trembled, and said in a trembling voice: "Grass... Grassroots, see... see the emperor, the empress, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and the queen empress."

"Are you the shopkeeper of Hua'an Pharmacy?" Mu Tianxue asked: "You must go to the person who bought arsenic from you and say that he is a servant of Shangshufu? Is that person male or female, and what does he look like?"

"Go back, go back to empress, Caomin, Caomin doesn't know too well." A trembling voice came from the man's mouth with the sound of chattering teeth, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, the arsenic is not sold by Caomin, it is Caomin's." The old father sold it, and the Caomin just overheard that person when he went to order arsenic, saying that someone from the Shangshufu ordered it. Listening to the voice, it was a man's voice, and the other grassroots didn't know it at all."

Mu Tianxue's complexion darkened, and she looked at Wang Chao with sharp eyes. Wang Chao was startled, and hurriedly said, "Queen Empress, please calm down. This man's old father died under the arsenic on the night he sold the arsenic."
