Chapter 259: Pointing to the real culprit(1/2)
In the palace, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty angrily scolded the head of the Soul-Suppressing Department:
"This is the good subordinate you have trained!"
"Does he have no sense of right and wrong at all?"
"You actually followed the people from the ghost market who were causing trouble in the palace and left like that?!"
The head of the soul-suppressing department said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, please suspend your thunderous wrath."
"As far as Yu Dongming is concerned, he just wants to make the context of the case clearer."
"His Majesty asked him to go to Songyang County to investigate, and gave him the status of night parade. Dong Ming is very grateful!"
"He just...his temperament is not stable enough and needs training!"
Tang Xuanzong looked gloomy:
"You have to protect him, I know it in my heart."
"But now he actually wants to investigate the Black Butterfly case! This case is similar, you should know about it too!"
Just as he was talking, a eunuch came to report at the door:
"Your Majesty, the left governor of the Soul-Suppressing Division has come in a hurry, saying that there is a serious matter of the collapse of the sky, and he needs to be interviewed!"
Tang Xuanzong frowned and immediately looked at the head of the Soul-Suppressing Department.
The head of the Soul-Suppressing Division felt his heart thump.
He is very clear about the character of his supervisor.
If something happened that he didn't know about, Liu Ye and Zhu Yun must have been angry.
Under such circumstances, Liu Ye still came in a hurry, which meant that... this matter was so troublesome for the two of them to join forces that they even anxiously wanted to go to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit!
"Forget it, let him in." Tang Xuanzong sat aside with a headache and muttered: "It's really troublesome... The Queen's situation has not improved yet, and the Black Butterfly case has been revealed again."
"Is there anything else that your subordinates need to report to me personally?"
Soon, Liu Ye came in a hurry:
"I will see you, your majesty, and my lord, sir."
"Your Majesty, something bad is happening!"
"Princess Gaoyang...she was assassinated and passed away!"
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty suddenly changed his expression and stood up with a "chuck" sound.
By accident, the peony lion placed nearby fell to the ground and shattered as the table swayed.
The head of the Soul Suppressing Division was also agitated, and the black veil covering his face caused a gust of wind for no apparent reason!
At this moment, Tang Xuanzong grabbed the armrest of the chair with a terrifying expression:
"What on earth... happened?!"
Immediately, Liu Ye informed the two of them of the paper groom's summons.
Tang Xuanzong was so angry that he was shaking all over:
"absurd!"
"How ridiculous!"
"Gao Yang was so good, how could he be assassinated for no reason?!"
The head of the soul-suppressing department said quickly:
"Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body!"
"The Soul-Suppressing Department should have results about the murder of the princess soon."
Tang Xuanzong panted slightly, and after a moment:
"Okay, you can go with the governor and guard, and be sure to inform me of the outcome of the matter before tomorrow!"
Liu Ye glanced at Tang Xuanzong, but felt a little strange in his heart.
This is her biological daughter after all.
But... judging from Tang Xuanzong's reaction, there was a lot of anger, but why... there seemed to be no sadness at all?
Are the rumors true?
Neither the Jade King Li Xiangsi nor Princess Gaoyang was favored by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty?
On the other side, the head of the soul-suppressing department immediately left the palace with Liu Ye.
Tang Xuanzong sat aside with some annoyance, not noticing at all that among the broken peony lions, a faint black streak flowed out along the floor tiles.
…
Inside the palace of Princess Gaoyang.
After the diary was read, the suspicion that Princess Gaoyang might have been silenced was confirmed.
Obviously, there are three core points.
First, the altar of Mahakala on the mountain behind Shangqing Temple is where the people of the Baipu tribe, headed by the coir raincoat man, used to perform the head-lowering technique.
Second, Princess Gaoyang found out that the coir raincoat man was suspected to be involved with Li Heng, the king of Shaanxi.
Although judging from the records in the log, this is not really evidence.
However, if someone uses this incident to kill Princess Gaoyang to blame the King of Shaanxi, the sense of connection is not sufficient, and it is very likely that it will be useless and at the same time expose himself!
Therefore, this is evidence from the side that the King of Shaanxi may have something up his sleeve in this matter!
Therefore, even if you know that the evidence is insufficient to prove anything, you still kill someone just to be on the safe side!
Third, the master of Shangqing Temple once expelled the head-lowering thing from the body of Princess Gaoyang. I am afraid that the coir raincoat man also knew that Princess Gaoyang had already cast doubt on the head-lowering technique, and then she finally cast it.
Cruel hand.
And the most important thing is that many letters and information written in Princess Gaoyang's diary have disappeared.
In fact, on-site destruction is the most convenient.
But they didn't do that!
In all likelihood, he was taken away by assassins, and... he must be taken away!
Dong Ming couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Could it be that... there is something extremely important hidden in the letters that the other party would take away without destroying them at all risks?
Immediately, the three people put away the diary and immediately left the secret passage.
In the courtyard, the paper groom stood there:
"It seems that you have gained a lot in the secret room?"
Just as Dong Ming was about to speak, Zhu Yun suddenly said:
"You, a man from the ghost market, broke into the palace at night and brought Dong Ming here."
"Now that Princess Gaoyang is dead, you know how much trouble this will cause Dong Ming!"
The paper groom sneered twice:
"That's also a choice."
Zhu Yun frowned: "What do you mean?"
The paper groom covered his mouth and laughed:
"I just want to see if your leader will trust his subordinates and trust His Majesty this time.
How to choose!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Dong Ming suddenly said:
"You are Meng Xiao!"
"The junior brother of the head of the Soul Suppressing Division back then!"
"He's also the Jade King's friend who was rumored to be in love with Long Yang with Jade King Li Xiangsi, right?!"
The paper groom's smile suddenly stopped, and then he stared at Dong Ming. After a moment:
"Although I didn't deliberately hide my identity."
"But... you discovered it so quickly?"
On the side, Zhu Yun also showed a look of surprise:
"It's you!"
"But... why did the boss never say anything!"
To be continued...
