The Murong Lian hurriedly rushed over. Jun Shang, on the other hand, was not nervous at all.
He teased the two golden beasts next to the charcoal brazier, listening to them sing praises for him, saying things like "Jun Shang is handsome and confident", "Jun Shang is magnificent", while casually comforting the Murong Lian with a few words, telling him to focus on closing the case and not worry about anything else.
"Wang Cheng is heavily guarded. Even if Gu Mang really colluded with that chef, what can he do? Can he overturn the heavens? "
The Murong Lian anxiously said: "Jun Shang, you must not be careless. This matter is due to this subject's negligence. If something happens to Jun Shang …"
Jun Shang put down the golden chopsticks that were fiddling with the incense: "That's enough. Do you think this Prince doesn't know you? The person escaped from your Bie Yuan. You're so anxious because you're afraid this Prince will be angry and hold you accountable. "
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the Murong Lian with a smile that was not a smile: "Ah Lian, you are this Prince's blood-related brother. Don't worry. How can this Prince punish you for something like this?"
After Jun Shang ascended the throne, he had to call his brothers and sisters by their official titles as usual. However, in private, he would occasionally call the Murong Lian Ah Lian.
Especially in times like this where he needed to comfort people's hearts, he naturally had to show the intimacy of blood-related relatives.
"As for Gu Mang, if you're really worried, this Prince will lock him up in the Yin Prison. I think he won't be able to escape even if he has wings."
The Murong Lian reluctantly calmed his mind and agreed. Then, he asked: "Jun Shang, if the case requires it later, can this subject go and interrogate him?"
"Interrogate him. Why can't you interrogate him?"
"Then this subject will use torture."
Jun Shang glanced at him and smiled. Then, he snorted: "People say that the iron-blooded Xi He, the cruel official Wang Shu. These words are not false. You won't be able to pry the truth out of other people's mouths without using torture, right? "
The Murong Lian coughed lightly: "That Gu Mang, after all, is not an ordinary person."
"Alright, you can interrogate him however you want, but be careful. I can see that Lord Xi He is still somewhat obsessed with him. The two of you quarreled in the palace. The first time you quarreled, I found it interesting, but the second time I found it annoying. "
Jun Shang played with the jade bead in his hand and said faintly, "Be careful. Don't let Us see him file a report against you because of this."
With that said, he rolled his eyes, "One is an important military official, and the other is a hereditary member of the royal family. In order to avenge a personal grudge, they are fighting like three years old children. Do you really think I can't tell? "
The Murong Lian: "…"
As the sun rose from the east, the light of dawn broke through the darkness. The citizens of the city gradually woke up and went out to chat. The bloody incident at Hongyan Brothel last night was quickly leaked out and quickly spread throughout the Royal City. It became the hottest topic of conversation among the common people in the Royal City.
For a time, everyone, from the elderly to the young, gathered together and began to talk about something.
"In just one night, almost everyone in the building died. How tragic!"
"Aiya, aiya! Oh my god! Has the murderer been caught? "
"He ran away a long time ago! Before he ran away, he even wrote a poem on the wall. He wrote that it was easy to get priceless treasures, but hard to find a man seven times a night! "
"Why is the version that I heard saying that I am lonely and have a wife?"
"Uh … who knows. In any case, Hongyan Brothel has been heavily sealed off. Apart from the investigators, no one can enter. But if you ask me, whether it is easy to get priceless treasures, but hard to find a man seven times a night, or I am lonely and have a wife, it sounds like a case of robbery. "
"Could it be a flower thief with a strange habit of killing people?"
The more it spread, the more mysterious it became. In the end, there was a storyteller who came up with such a theory, "Hongyan Brothel was too polluted, so it provoked a perverted ghost. Taking advantage of the dark and windy night to kill people, he ran into the building. Hehe, the men, he killed them first and then raped them! The women, he raped them first and then killed them! That perverted ghost was abnormally brave and fierce. He raped and killed more than seventy people in Hongyan Brothel in one night. He didn't even spare Elder Yu, who was over fifty years old! "
All the tea makers were dumbfounded.
"That's too crazy."
Someone in the tea room couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Hahahaha!!!"
"Young Master Yue? You, what's wrong with you. "
"Hahahahaha!" The person who was convulsing with laughter was Yue Chenqing, who had nothing better to do. He said happily, "After hearing so many versions, your version is still the funniest. Raping and killing more than seventy people in one night. Big brother, I'm afraid that the flower thief was not brave and fierce, but had a premature ejaculation, hahaha!!"
The originally horrifying atmosphere was destroyed by him in an instant. Everyone laughed and shook their heads. Even the girls covered their mouths and laughed secretly. The storyteller was very embarrassed. But the other party was Yue Clan's Young Master, so he couldn't get angry. He could only smile and say, "Yes, yes, Young Master Yue is right."
Under Yue Chenqing's adaptation, the story of the flower thief being bold and fierce and killing seventy people in one night became the flower thief having a premature ejaculation and killing the brothel in anger.
In the city, those who were not in the mood to listen to this discussion were probably the relatives and friends who had been harmed, the Imperial Guards, the people from Shen Nong Tai, and the two Sir Gods, Xi He and Wang Shu.
In Wang Shu Mansion, a servant bowed his head and said,
"My lord. The servant from Luo Mei Mansion that you wanted to bring is here. "
The Murong Lian had just finished smoking two tubes of Floating Like A Dream and was full of energy. He said, "Okay, let him in."
The servant hurriedly entered the hall and knelt in front of the Murong Lian to report, "This servant greets Sir God Wang Shu. Long live the Sir God."
"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense. Let me ask you, you live in the same house as that chef who ran away, right?"
"Yes."
"Come, tell me, that chef, what kind of character is he normally."
The servant said, "Uh … that chef was sent to the mansion when he was five years old. He usually doesn't like to talk and is a little wretched. He always comes and goes alone."
The Murong Lian asked, "Does this person have a history of enmity with the brothel girls?"
"No, he doesn't." The servant answered, "But I heard that he was quite perverted when he was in Liao Country. When he saw a beautiful girl, he wanted to take her for himself. I heard that he even slept with his sworn brother's wife. "
"…" The Murong Lian sighed, "He's a pervert."
As he sighed, he thought that perhaps the rumors were right. That chef might be a perverted flower thief with some kind of perverted hobby. Otherwise, why would he keep those five women by his side?
The Murong Lian asked again, "What about him and Gu Mang? Do they have any contact? "
"It seems that they don't have any personal relationship at all."
"…" The Murong Lian pondered for a while and said, "I understand. You can leave."
After the servant left, the Murong Lian said to the servant, "Give me the warm coat of the Murong Lian.
"Bring me the warmest silver fox fur robe you have. I'm going to the Yin Prison to interrogate Gu Mang."
If Murong Lian's side focused on 'interrogation', then Mo Xie's side focused entirely on 'investigation'.
He was investigating all kinds of details of the case.
The Hongyan Brothel case was too strange. If it was a malicious ghost, how could it inscribe? If it was a living person, why would it dig out their heart?
Therefore, Mo Xi ordered Shennongtai to continue to carefully examine the wounds of the deceased. They should be able to find some clues.
Sure enough, after examining them one by one, the medicine cultivators found some traces of sword wounds that had been covered up. However, those traces were really surprising and even made the whole case more complicated and confusing.
"What's wrong with the wounds?"
"…" The medicine cultivator hesitated and said three words, "Broken Water Sword."
Mo Xi suddenly looked up, "Broken Water Sword, Li Qingqian?"
"Yes."
Mo Xi murmured, "… How is that possible …"
The sword master, Li Qingqian, was a cultivator from the Lichun Kingdom.
He came from a poor family and had a kind heart. He had traveled extensively for more than ten years and killed countless evil spirits. However, he was too naive. Many times, he was the one who risked his life to eliminate evil spirits for others, but in the end, other cultivators with ulterior motives always took the credit. Therefore, in the more than ten years since his debut, he had been unknown and lived a very difficult life.
Until that year, he fought in the battle of "Weeping Woman Mountain".
Weeping Woman Mountain was located in the Liao Kingdom. Its original name was Fengyu Mountain, but later, the Liao Team brought a group of women from somewhere. There were more than a hundred of them, all wearing bright red wedding dresses, and they were buried alive in the midst of their cries.
The Liao Kingdom's state preceptor's explanation was, "To observe the sky at night, the mountain god here needs to be worshipped."
After those women were buried, their resentment did not dissipate. Many individual cultivators went to suppress them, but they all died in the hands of female ghosts. Therefore, Fengyu Mountain was feared by the surrounding villagers and became known as "Weeping Woman Mountain".
"When a woman marries into a mountain, she cries at night. First, she hates her duckweed body. Second, she hates her beauty. Third, she hates her husband for eternity.
First, she laughs miserably. Second, she cries tears of blood. Third, she laughs but can't leave. "
It was referring to the fact that there were countless skeletons of women buried alive on this mountain. If one wanted to pass through this mountain, they had to do it during the day when the Yang Qi was the strongest. Moreover, there could not be children, women, sick, or old people in the group. Otherwise, hundreds of female ghosts would be attracted to the mountain. As long as they heard three laughs behind them, the female ghosts would appear and all who passed through would die in the mountain.
After Li Qingqian heard about this, he came to Weeping Woman Mountain. At that time, although he had killed countless evil spirits, not many people knew about him because he was not good at spreading his reputation.
The local government saw that he was a young cultivator with patched clothes. With one look, they knew that he was not a great person. They could not bear it and said to him, "Although the reward is high, there are hundreds of female ghosts on the mountain. Immortal elder, you should cherish your life. Don't take the risk."
However, Li Qingqian only said that he was not looking for money. Then, he went up the mountain alone with a sword.
This trip lasted for three days. Just when everyone was lamenting that another cultivator had lost his life on the mountain, the mournful cries of several hundred women suddenly came from Maiden Weeping Mountain. A beam of jade colored magnificent light that could be seen from a radius of a hundred miles suddenly splashed out.
"The Water Breaking Sword Technique can penetrate the heaven and earth and break through the nine heavens."
These were the words that people later sighed when they talked about that sword. The person who spoke looked absent-minded, his face full of longing.
Gold will always shine. After being buried for so long, Li Qingqian finally became famous in one battle. Until now, countless storytellers were still very keen to talk about his strong character. His green cloth clothes fluttered, one hand holding a sword, the other holding the Soul Convening Lamp, floating down the mountain path.
What was even more rare was that in this battle, Li Qingqian trapped the souls of hundreds of malicious spirits. These souls could not be better used to refine weapons. If they were sold to a weapon refiner, they would not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
However, Li Qingqian could not bear to do so.
"They are all girls from pitiful families. At such a young age, they were buried alive as sacrifices to the mountain and turned into malicious spirits to hurt people. It was really not their intention. If they were refined into magic weapons, they would never be reincarnated. It is really too cruel. "
Therefore, he decided to go to the enchanted island in the East Sea with abundant Spiritual Qi to release the souls of these hundred girls. He knew that their resentment was too deep and there were too many people. It might take more than ten years to complete the task. Therefore, before he left, he gave his Broken Water Sword Technique to his young brother and told him to practice diligently. In the future, he would rely on this sword technique to the best of his ability.
Then he disappeared from the vast world without a trace.
The medicine cultivator from Shennongtai said carefully, "Although Master Li is known for his righteousness, these corpses do have traces of the Water Breaking Sword. So, could it be that the rumors are false?"
"Impossible." Mo Xi closed his eyes and said, "Before Li Qingqian became famous, I had the honor of meeting him once. He is indeed a righteous person. He would never do such a despicable thing. "
"Then could it be his younger brother?"
Mo Xi shook his head. "The Water Breaking Sword Technique is very difficult to cultivate. It can't be used without ten or twenty years of hard work. Li Houde only took over his brother's sword technique a few years ago. The timing doesn't match."
After the medicine cultivator from Shennongtai finished reporting, Mo Xi sat in the courtyard with his eyes closed. He frowned and thought carefully about the connection between these events.
Li Wei asked curiously, "Master, now people are saying that this thief is a flower thief. Because of some strange hobby, he killed most of the people in the building but left five beautiful girls behind. Don't you think so? "
"He isn't."
Li Wei didn't expect Mo Xi to directly deny the most popular speculation. He was stunned. "Why, why?"
Mo Xi opened a jade scroll with spiritual power on the table. Immediately, the names and appearances of the people who died in this incident and the five people who went missing appeared.
"Take a look at this."
Li Wei leaned over and looked at it carefully for a long time. He didn't see anything wrong with it, so he answered flatteringly, "I'm stupid. I can't see through the mysteries of heaven."
"…"
Mo Xi said, "Pick out the five most beautiful girls among all of them."
Li Wei liked to rank others. He quickly picked out a few beauties from the brothel. "This one, this one … Ah, no, this one is not as beautiful as the one next to her …"
He was looking around happily when he suddenly heard Lord Xi He ask, "Did you notice that none of the girls you picked were taken away by the flower thief?"
"Ah …" Li Wei was stunned. He immediately opened his eyes wide. "Sure enough …"
"He didn't want the top courtesan in the brothel. So many beautiful singing girls were beheaded, but he left these five alone." Mo Xi looked at the portraits on the jade scroll. He crossed his arms, as if he was explaining to Li Wei, but also as if he was talking, he fell into deep thought again.
"He didn't do it for sex."
"…"
"I'm lonely. I'm afraid he didn't really want to take a wife."
At this moment, a servant from Xi He's residence suddenly ran over and said hurriedly, "My Lord, my Lord …"
"What's wrong?" Mo Xi turned around and frowned. "What happened again?"
"You asked Xiao Li to keep an eye on Gu Mang. Xiao Li just sent a message saying that the Lord Wangshu suspected that Gu Mang had something to do with the murderer of the Hongyan Brothel Murder Case, so, so …"
Mo Xi's expression changed immediately. "So what?"
"So he interrogated Gu Mang alone in the cold room. There were no windows in that room. Xiao Li didn't know anything and didn't dare to disturb you. He waited until the Lord Wangshu came out … then he saw … Gu Mang was already … he was already …"
He swallowed hard and mustered up his courage to continue speaking.
Mo Xi didn't wait for him to finish. He threw down the jade scroll and ran towards the Yin Prison without looking back.
