Chapter 84 The eyes of heaven cannot see through

When Yu Taiqing's carriage arrived in front of the palace gate, it was already dark. Although the palace gate was keyed, the imperial guards guarding the gate had already received the order and specially opened the small door on the side to lead Yu Taiqing and Chu Xian in.

The one-story palace stretched in the night, giving off a cold and solemn air.

A crescent moon hangs in the sky. The moonlight is faint and cannot illuminate the deep palace.

A chamberlain held a ram-horn lantern and led the way, leading Yu Taiqing all the way to the palace.

Chu Xian glanced at Yu Taiqing and saw that he looked dazed and didn't know what he was thinking. Could he still be thinking about the fire just now?

Chu Xian was really surprised and couldn't figure out how the fire started and why it burned so big before they asked him to go in and put out the fire.

He really wanted to ask, but seeing Mrs. Yu's distracted look, he felt that asking was in vain.

After exiting the long and narrow passage, the chamberlain turned right with a lantern in hand. If he was going to the imperial study, he should have gone left.

Although Chu Xian did not enter the palace many times, he also realized that the eunuch had gone astray, but Yu Taiqing still had no idea.

Chu Xian had no choice but to cough slightly and asked the chamberlain: "Isn't your Majesty not in the imperial study?"

The chamberlain lowered his voice and said with a smile: "My servant was negligent and forgot to inform Inspector Yu and Lieutenant Chu. Your Majesty is not in the Imperial Study Room at the moment, but in the Star Observation Tower. Someone from Heyu Mountain is here today."

"Heyu Mountain?" Yu Taiqing walked all the way from Tianshu Division. His mind was in a mess and he didn't know what he was thinking. It was only then that he came back to his senses.

Heyu Mountain is the Taoist mountain of the Yuncang Sect. In addition to working in Tianshu Division, the disciples of the Yuncang Sect practice in Heyu Mountain. If any disciple of Heyu Mountain comes down from the mountain to see the emperor directly, he must be a very important figure in the Yuncang Sect.

In the case of Kong Yu's murder at today's Peony Banquet, although it was said that the person who died was only the daughter of a general official, King Liu'an, King Kang and Princess Jing'an were all present at the banquet. Regardless of whether the murderer is a demon or a human, since he can kill others

, it may also kill them.

Not to mention anything else, both the Imperial Guard and the Tianshu Division will inevitably be guilty of negligence this time.

However, even so, the matter was not serious enough for the emperor to summon the commanders and governors of Tianshu Division into the palace overnight, but it turned out that someone from Heyu Mountain was coming.

Anyone coming from Heyu Mountain must want to meet him, the new governor.

"I wonder who is coming from Heyu Mountain?"

The young chamberlain bowed and replied: "I don't know, I don't know. Yu will know it when he arrives at the Star Observation Tower."

The Star Observation Tower is a nine-story tower located in the northeast corner of the Imperial Palace. However, it is not actually inside the Imperial Palace. It is separated from the Imperial Palace by a high palace wall. However, because there is a small door connected to the Imperial Palace, walking through the Imperial Palace is not easy.

Very close.

When people come down from Heyu Mountain, they never live in the wells of Lan'an City, but stay here.

In the tower room on the eighth floor of the Star Observation Tower, the north-facing sill window is wide open.

The emperor stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands, overlooking the entire Lang'an City.

Under the night, the dots of lights make Lan'an City brilliant and spectacular.

The cornices of numerous pavilions, the moving lanterns in the palace streets, the figures of the imperial guards galloping by on patrol in the distance...

All of this, seen from a height, seems so insignificant.

The country is picturesque.

This feeling of climbing up is unique.

The chief steward, You Fu, bowed and reported: "Your Majesty, Yu is here."

The emperor nodded, ordered someone to close the sill window, turned around and looked at Yu Taiqing who followed the chamberlain into the room, and pointed upward.

Yu Taiqing instantly understood that people from Heyu Mountain should observe the sky on the nine-story platform. The walls have ears and they should be careful when speaking.

The emperor was wearing a bright yellow uniform with narrow sleeves. He was in his forties, fair and kind, and he waved to Yu Taiqing.

"Taiqing, Elder Yuan and Lei Yan are watching the sky above. Please talk to me. Today at the peony banquet, it was discussed that the doctor's daughter died. You were also there. Did you find anything?" The emperor lifted his robe.

He sat down, picked up the tea cup on the table, sipped it and asked.

Yu Taiqing carefully considered his words and replied: "Your Majesty, there are currently too few clues and the case has not made any progress. However, from what I have seen, the case is consistent with the murder of Fengyang Tower chess player a few days ago, or perhaps

The crime was committed by the same demon. This demon will definitely not let it go and will commit another crime."

"The Fengyang Tower case? Could it be that the woman who died was a woman who was good at playing chess?" the emperor asked.

Yu Taiqing nodded: "This case was transferred to Dali Temple two days ago. Wei Chen requested that the two cases be investigated together."

The emperor nodded in agreement.

At this time, footsteps sounded on the steps, and Lei Yan accompanied a Taoist priest into the house.

This man is in his fifties, holding a fly whisk, and looks like a fairy. He is thin and has a look of compassion on his face, as if he is infinitely worried about all living beings in the world.

He is Yuan Feng, the elder of the Yuncang sect, and his status in the sect is second only to the leader Wang Yu. He practices in Heyu Mountain on weekdays and does not go down the mountain often. Yu Taiqing only came to Dajin from Nanzhao last year, so

The two have never met each other.

Yuan Feng looked at Yu Taiqing. His long, narrowed eyes suddenly widened, but his eyes were completely white. At first glance, he looked like a blind person.

Although Yuan Feng is an elder of the Yuncang sect, he is not good at killing monsters, but is good at divination and observing the sky.

He can open his heavenly eyes several times a year, observe the sky, recognize good and bad luck, and discern truths that ordinary people cannot know. Tonight, he opened his heavenly eyes while observing the sky, but he had not yet closed them. When he suddenly saw Yu Taiqing, he ate

Startled.

Yuan Feng asked: "Are you the newly appointed Superintendent of Tianshu Division by His Majesty?"

The emperor glanced at Yuan Feng's face, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and said: "This is Yu Taiqing, the son of my sister Wen Ning. He came to Jin Dynasty from Nanzhao last year. I ordered him to hang up in Tianshu Division.

Got a job."

The emperor looked at Yu Taiqing and signaled: "Taiqing, come here to see Elder Yuan."

Yu Taiqing stepped forward and saluted Yuan Feng. Yuan Feng narrowed his eyes again and said slowly: "Come all the way from Nanzhao? In my opinion, you are not from Nanzhao."

As soon as these words came out, the emperor's face suddenly became ugly.

There were rumors among the people, and the emperor had also heard about it.

It was said that Yu Taiqing was not the son of King Nanzhao, but rumors were just rumors after all. Now that Yuan Feng pointed it out, it was as if it was confirmed, which was a bit embarrassing.

Chu Xian lowered his head and did not dare to look at Yu Taiqing's face. A glimmer of light flashed in Lei Yan's eyes, as if he had some big handle on Yu Taiqing.

The tower room was silent.

Yu Taiqing asked with a smile on his lips: "May I ask Elder Yuan, I am not from Nanzhao, but where am I from?"

Yuan Feng smiled slightly and opened his eyes, which were as white as falling snow.

Yu Taiqing looked into his eyes and noticed that a white light burst out from his eyes and swept across his body. The light was shining, as if it wanted to penetrate his skin, penetrate inside, and probe his soul.

"Can't see clearly, can't see clearly, how could this happen?" Yuan Feng murmured, like a demonic barrier.

Yu Taiqing stood silently, his expression slightly changed.
