Your Majesty, you don't want your secret to be known.

You really can't blame him for this, Shangguan Shuangyue really has great ambitions and vision.

Of course, he just glanced at it, and his eyes finally fell on the wooden box.

You know, the empress is still in the Taoist temple.

Li Yunshu had already guessed what was inside, so he walked forward and opened the wooden box a little.

The moment he saw the gold, his steps weakened.

Seeing so much gold for the first time, he admitted that he felt a little useless.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Seeing him take the wooden box, Shangguan Shuangyue did not stay any longer, but was stopped by Zhao Yi's guards when he was about to leave.

"Sir, this man killed someone in the street. Please help the people!"

Shangguan Shuangyue glanced at Zhao Yi's body, said nothing, and left with his men.

Looking at Shangguan Shuangyue's departing back, Li Yunshu became more concerned about the entry above her head.

"This is really difficult..."

Although Shangguan Shuangyue left, the two monks beside him did not dare to step forward for a while.

They saw it clearly just now, it was someone from the palace, and they even said, "This is a reward from His Majesty."

The Taoist priest in front of me actually received a reward from His Majesty!

This matter involves the palace, so it is not something they can interfere with.

But the Taoist priest in front of him had killed someone in public, so he couldn't run away.

One of the monks helped the butler up and immediately yelled at the servants following behind him.

"Go and report to the official!"

……

Jingzhao Yinfu, back hall.

"grown ups!"

Seeing the captain of the police running in in a panic, Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Gao Gong immediately stood up.

"Someone missing again?"

Recently, there have been frequent cases of missing persons in Beijing.

It was as if they had disappeared from the face of the earth, and no trace of them could be found.

This matter has alarmed the empress, who has given him one month to solve the case.

As the deadline is getting closer and closer, if the missing case is not solved, not only will I lose the hat on my head, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my head.

The captain shook his head.

"Zhao Yi was killed."

"what!"

Gao Gong couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. This news was too shocking for him.

Zhao Yi is a well-known wealthy businessman in the capital, and his spiritual and blessed land business is spread all over the country.

The reason why he was so successful in the capital at such a young age was because he was the illegitimate son of Zhao Youde, the Minister of Justice.

According to the laws of the Great Chu, officials are not allowed to engage in business, but every time there is a policy, there is a countermeasure.

Ordinary people don’t know that the reason why Zhao Yijingshi is doing business in the spiritual blessed land is because he has someone above him.

"Has anyone been caught?"

"Don't worry, sir. The man has been caught."

"Yeah." Hearing this, Gao Gong breathed a sigh of relief, "You did a good job on this matter."

How would he face Zhao Youde if he couldn't bring the murderer to justice?

At that time, you will inevitably be questioned.

The missing persons case had already overwhelmed him, and now there was a murder case involving a powerful person.

It is difficult to be an official, it is even more difficult to be an official in the capital, and it is even more difficult to be an official in the capital.

The constable stepped forward to take credit.

"When I was patrolling the streets with my brothers, we happened to see someone reporting a crime, and we caught the criminal without any effort."

Gao Gong was even more satisfied. He picked up the teacup and asked calmly.

"Who on earth is so bold?"

"He is a Taoist priest from Jingming Temple, his name is Li Yunshu."

puff!

As soon as he heard the name, all the tea in Gao Gong's mouth sprayed out.

"Li Yunshu!"

Chapter 8 Imperial Envoy, Li Yunshu

above the lobby.

Gao Gong felt something was wrong as soon as he sat down.

At this time, the lobby was filled with people, all staring at him.

He hooked his finger at the captain, motioning him to come forward.

"Why are so many people gathered outside the hall?"

This is an important place in the capital, and a murder was committed in the street. For such a serious case, he should have tried the case in the lobby and could not have stopped the people from watching.

However, he really didn't expect so many people to come.

“Sir, as soon as Zhao Yi died, the news spread throughout the capital.

They knew the murderer had been arrested, so they all came to the government office."

Hearing this, Gao Gong also understood.

The things Zhao Yi did made many common people and independent cultivators hate him to death.

Now that he is dead, these people naturally applaud.

In their eyes, Li Yunshu is not a murderer, but a hero who saves the world.

Snapped!

In order to shock everyone, he brought down the gavel in his hand heavily.

"Ascension!"

Soon, Zhao Yi's butler was brought into the hall.

"Why are you beating the drum in front of the government office to complain about your grievances?"

The butler bowed.

"Your Excellency, I want to sue the Taoist priest Li Yunshu of Jingming Temple for killing my son Zhao Yi in the street."

"Take Li Yunshu!"

Gao Gong already knew the general situation, and this was a hot potato for him.

The business of Lingqi Fudi involves many things, which he couldn't help but think about.

He absolutely did not believe that a mere Li Yunshu would dare to kill people in the street without someone backing him up.

There is still no clue about the missing case, and now a murder case has emerged, involving both the empress and the Minister of Justice.

No matter how this case is judged, one party is bound to be offended.

The only thing he could do now was to delay time as much as possible and slowly judge the situation based on the court's direction in the future.

Soon, Li Yunshu was brought up.

He glanced at the person sitting in the lobby and confirmed that he had seen him last night.

It's not just because of the appearance, but also because of the entry above the head, which he would never remember wrong.

Snapped!

As the gavel fell again, Gao Gong asked knowingly.

"Who's coming off?"

Li Yunshu stood with his hands behind his back.

"Imperial envoy, Li Yunshu."

He deliberately emphasized the word "imperial envoy" and looked at Gao Gong at the same time.

"I don't know why you sent someone to arrest me?"

"What's the matter?"

The corner of Gao Gong's mouth twitched. Even with all the evidence, he still wanted to deny it.

This guy is really a master at pretending to be confused!

Snapped.

This time, the gavel in Gao Gong's hand hit much lighter.

"Someone reported you to the police, saying you killed Zhao Yi in the street. Do you admit it?"

Li Yunshu nodded.

"Yes."

Gao Gong opened his mouth slightly and wanted to ask more questions, but he didn't expect the other party to admit it directly.

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal, and he felt even more uneasy.
