The entrance to the underground palace is only half a person tall. It was originally blocked with stone bricks and filled with soil and stones. Now it is dug up again, and the inside is still spotless.

Lu Ke was raising a torch in front, Huo Weilou followed behind him, followed by Sun Zhao, Wu Xiang and others, and walked one after another through the downhill narrow path four or five meters long, and soon arrived at a stone gate.

The mechanism next to the stone gate was very easy to crack. Lu Ke opened the stone gate and a gloomy chill that was so crawling came to his face.

The light of the torch illuminated a corner of the door, and the ice bricks stacked up in my eyes. Lu Ke held the torch in one hand and held the sword at his waist in the other, and walked in carefully.

The underground palace is about meter high, several meters long and wide. There are ice tiles on all sides against the walls, but there is an altar on the north side.

The altar was cast with stones, and the Taoist talismans and candles were all equipped. After the altar, two crystal clear ice coffins stood quietly. Lu Ke ordered the embroidered clothes to insert torches around. The ice bricks reflected a fire and fireflies. Huo Weilou strode towards the ice coffin.

The ice coffin was crystal clear, with frost on it layered on it and it did not melt for years. He pushed the lid of the coffin, but it had not been pushed for a while. Through the two palm-thick ice walls, he could vaguely see the corpse lying inside.

Huo Weilou moved his arm strength. After a crisp sound, the coffin lid that had already condensed was pushed open. The coffin lid slowly slid away, and a body wearing a silver-red wide-sleeved golden palace skirt was exposed.

This is a female corpse covered with mold spots. Even though she is lying in the ice coffin all year round, there are people entering and leaving. Not far from the ground, there is still a high-temperature alchemy room. The melting water vapor and flowing airflow of the ice bricks still cause the body to become slightly corroded.

The body of the deceased was obviously carefully burial. She folded her hands on her chest, her hair was tall and her ringed in a graceful manner. However, due to the death, most of her hair fell off. At this moment, she was piled up behind her head. The originally fair and plump skin was not only covered by flaky mold, but also turned into a layer of waxed gray-white skin and stuck to the bones. The bones of the deceased could be vaguely seen before his death.

Huo Weilou knew that this was Princess Anyang.

"Open the ice coffin too."

Huo Weilou ordered Lu Ke to push the second ice coffin open. The one who lay inside was indeed a moldy corpse of a child who was more than two feet long. The deceased was wearing a gorgeous dress. He lay in the ice coffin with a straight body, and his face was also gray-white waxy skin as his exposed hands. Because of his bright color, he gave people a particularly terrifying feeling.

Sun Zhao's voice trembled as he spoke, "Marty, is this the body of Princess Anyang and the eldest son of the Bo Mansion?"

Huo Weilou nodded and looked around again. Soon, he found something wrong. Although there were also magical instruments and treasures for sacrifices on the altar in front, it was not the Seven Treasures Relics Tower. Although there were several objects that were buried with the soul in the ice coffin, they were just ordinary treasures. If the Seven Treasures Relics Tower had been melted, what about the Buddha's bone relic?

The so-called Buddha's bone relics are just a piece of finger bone left by the Buddha in the rumors. If the relics are melted into the alchemy furnace, there will be no trace there. Huo Weilou frowned sharply and "Search carefully-"

Wu Xiang had been to the place where Li Shen murdered Wen Jin, and there was an altar there. He looked around and came back soon and said, "The Marquis, there is no abnormality, and there is no blood or the sharp chain weapon used to murder children. Unlike the altar set up by Li Shen, it seems that it is just a sacrifice here."

If it cannot be proved that Feng Qin is conspiring to murder the child, it will be useless to find the bodies of Princess Anyang and Feng Yu. Although this trip is particularly ethical, Princess Anyang and Feng Yu are Feng Qin's wife and children, and there is no law to stipulate how to bury the corpse. If Feng Qin said that this place was the tomb he set up for Anyang and Feng Yu, there was no blame for others.

"Mr. Marquis, someone is coming from the palace-"

Huo Weilou suddenly turned around, Feng Qin and his son were still outside, but found that the underground palace had just been in a while, and someone had actually come to the palace?

Sun Zhao was also surprised, "Marty, this..."

Huo Weilou said to Wu Xiang: "Continue searching, I will go out and take a look."

Huo Weilou walked out, and Sun Zhao hurriedly followed. When the two came out together, they saw Fuquan standing outside with two little eunuchs. Fuquan seemed to be a little surprised by the current scene. When he saw Huo Weilou, he pulled the corner of his lips and greeted him.

"Meet the Marquis."

Huo Weilou looked at him coldly, "Why are you here?"

Fu was full of dismay, looked at Feng Qin's face, and whispered: "Marty, what's the saying? Why did you investigate the case and find out where Uncle Zhongyi? As soon as the palace gate opened in the morning, someone from the uncle's house handed a note to the empress dowager. The empress dowager personally sent someone to call His Majesty. His Majesty then ordered the old slave to go out of the city."

It was not yet noon, and after they entered the village last night, no one left in the village. Who entered the palace to inform him? There was only one possibility that Feng Qin expected that the Zhishihui would come to the village to search and left people outside, so he could ask for help from the palace so quickly.

If there is no ghost in your heart, how can you make such preparations?

Huo Weilou looked at Feng Qin with cold eyes, but Feng Qin raised his hand to cover the corner of his lips and coughed slightly. Fuquan said in embarrassment again: "Marty, what is your majesty mean is that you hope that you will enter the palace now, what is the situation? Let me explain it to him so as not to have a misunderstanding."

This is an oral order, Fuquan said it tactfully, but Huo Weilou has been a minister for many years and should have understood, "Can you enter the palace together?"

Seeing Huo Weilou's tone relaxed, Fuquan nodded quickly, "What you want, the Marquis and the Uncle will be together, just make it clear."

Huo Weilou turned his eyes to Sun Zhao and Lu Ke. Lu Ke looked trembling. Sun Zhao blinked nervously, as if he was aware of something. He nodded quickly. Huo Weilou said loudly, "Forget it, then I'll go see Your Majesty first-"

Fuquan breathed a sigh of relief and went to see Feng Qin again, "Brother, please please--"

Huo Weilou walked on the horse, Feng Qin and his son got on the prepared carriage, and the group went back to the capital to meet the saint.

The wind stopped and the snow stopped. The fields outside the city were white. When they entered the city gate, it was almost noon. They galloped along the Yu Road and arrived in front of Xuanwu Gate. The clouds in the sky were roaring. It seemed that a heavy snow was about to fall. Huo Weilou turned over and dismounted and walked into the palace gate.

Emperor Jianhe met them in the warm pavilion of Zhaoyang Hall next to Chongzheng Hall.

The warmth in the hall was as warm as spring. Emperor Jianhe leaned against the west window and sat on the collapsed side. Behind him, he waited for the few people to come into the inner world to salute. He swept over the two of them in a normal voice, and asked in a normal voice: "What's going on? Just in the case, I found Feng Qin's mansion?" After Yan Zhu glanced at Feng Qin's hanging left arm, "I said you were burned, how could you be better?"

Feng Qin bowed and said, "It's great, thank you for your care."

After the speech was settled, Feng Qin lifted his robe and knelt down, "I am guilty of being guilty, please give your guilt--"

Emperor Jianhe raised his eyebrows, "What does this mean?"

Feng Qin choked his throat, "Your Majesty, Anyang and Yu'er have passed away for 17 years. When they died, I was heartbroken. I got married with Anyang and had a deep friendship. You and the Queen Mother know this. Yu'er was five years old, smart and was the eldest son of me. At that time, I wished I could pick the moon in the sky and give it to them."

Feng Qin's eyes turned red, "But they suddenly died suddenly. How can I accept it? Therefore... I did something to deceive the king."

Feng Qin was sincere and tears were shining in his eyes. Huo Weilou raised his eyebrows coldly and looked at him as if he was still moving.

"Things to deceive the king?" Emperor Jianhe was a little surprised. Zhongyi Bo has always been indifferent to fame and fortune, and is quite introverted in dealing with people and people. How could he have the courage to deceive the king?

"Yes, Weichen... Weichen couldn't bear to watch Anyang and Yu'er be buried at that time, so he left their bodies outside without hiding them. The coffin sent to the ancestral tomb was actually just their clothes."

Emperor Jianhe looked surprised, and Fuquan felt a little scared when he heard it.

"Then... where did you place Anyang?"

"I have put Anyang and Yu'er's body into an ice coffin and sent it to another village outside the city. Over the years, I have devoted myself to practicing Taoism and want to pray for their mother and son. If I suffer the pain of lovesickness one day, I will visit them outside the city."

He said that everyone in the hall had a chill on his back, but his eyebrows were full of sincerity and longing. "I have been able to practice hard all these years because my mother and son are there. My bedroom outside the city is very close to their underground palace. I said to Anyang that I will not separate from my life or death. I did it, but I have never lost my trust."

The more he spoke, the more hoarse he spoke. At first, everyone felt terrible, but he was moved by him. Emperor Jianhe looked unbearable, "Now their bodies are still in the village?"

"yes--"

"Then have you ever thought that you could let them rest in peace? What's the point of being with your body all day?"

Feng Qin looked painful, "I originally wanted Anyang to maintain my appearance forever. I dug the underground palace and made an ice coffin for this. The underground palace was full of ice bricks. But I didn't expect that even so, I could only protect their appearance for a year. Later, I became more and more dissatisfied. Although I was desperate, I believed in Taoism, so I thought that as long as I practiced Taoism sincerely, they would be with me."

When a person dies, he still wants to be with him. Is that a ghost here?

Emperor Jianhe looked embarrassed, "Your journey is contrary to morality, even Taoism, I am afraid there is no such statement."

Feng Qin sighed bitterly, "Although it should be safe to be buried, the underground palace is like a tomb, with excellent Feng Shui. In addition, the ministers often do rituals, so they will not disturb them. My crimes are so my faults are hidden from everyone. Even Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager were also hidden by Your Majesty. I have committed the crime of deceiving the king. Please give your guilt to the crime."

Although Emperor Jianhe found this matter strange and strange, if it was said that the crime of deceiving the king was not considered a crime. Seeing Feng Qin's expression was so sad that he was about to comfort him, he saw Huo Weilou, who had a cold face and speechless face, and then he looked upright, "Weilou, have you investigated the case recently and found out about this matter?"

Huo Weilou nodded, "Not bad."

He glanced at Feng Qin who was kneeling, "What Zhongyi Bo said just now is just his one-sided statement. He did hide the bodies of Princess Anyang and Feng Yu, and the Wei minister has found the bodies, but the truth is not just what he said."

Emperor Jianhe stared at him, "What's the truth?"

"Your Majesty should know that the Zhi Envoy recently investigated the theft of the Qibao Relic Pagoda. After some investigation, I found that the theft of the Qibao Relic Pagoda was related to the former Taichang Temple Minister Wang Qingfu, and Wang Qingfu stole the Buddha's bone relics that year."

Emperor Jianhe swept over Feng Qin, "Zhongyi Bo is related to this case?"

"The two stolen Buddha treasures are all Buddhist sacred objects. With this sacred object alone, you cannot commit evil deeds. Zhongyi Bo practices Taoism. There is an evil Taoist school that practices death and uses living people as sacrifices. You can make a living forever, and you can also make the dead resurrect. Zhongyi Bo's friendship with Princess Anyang is indeed true, but he placed Princess Anyang in another village, but it was not just for tribute."

"I suspect that Zhongyi Bo has always sacrificed children to Princess Anyang and Feng Yu for many years, hoping to bring them back to life. Previously, several strangely dead children inside and outside the capital were all murdered by Bo Yi Bo!"

Feng Qin showed humiliation on his face, "Your Majesty—"

"The Marquis investigated the case very hard and worked hard. He also wanted to solve the case earlier to explain to Your Majesty and the people. I am very clear that it is also the fault of me who privately kept Anyang's body this time. But if I do this, I will add those extremely serious cases to me. I will never agree. My Majesty knows my character well, so how can I murder a young child?"

"As for the art of death..."

Feng Qin looked back at Huo Weilou and said incrediblely: "Mr. Marquis, don't forget. When the Marquis investigated the case, he needed to find someone to understand Taoist teachings. The prince found Ye'er. When I heard that it was a toll, I immediately visited him. Is this the art of death? I told the Marquis. Who in the world would be so stupid to come to him? "

Huo Weilou looked at Feng Qin, "Why would you like Bo Ye, why is there gold and silver in the alchemy furnace? The fire suddenly started. Bo Ye has been practicing elixir for many years. This is the first time that he was injured by the collapse of the alchemy furnace?"

Feng Qin felt even more ridiculous, "There is gold and silver in the alchemy furnace, so the elixirs that were refined were to be presented to the Empress Dowager. I used a lot of gold, silver and jade. In order to refine these, I used more charcoal than usual, which made the alchemy furnace overwhelmed and collapsed, and I was even more injured. My injuries were seen by the Imperial Doctor. Your Majesty also knew that I was so surprised. I had something to do with the case that the Marquis was going to investigate?"

Huo Weilou fell silent. Feng Qin was so sad that he complained about his friendship with Anyang, which made people feel that he was deeply in love with Anyang, and described the collapse of the alchemy furnace as an accident, and even involved the refining of the empress dowager. Emperor Jianhe didn't understand the inside story and felt compassion, but it made the Si really not find out the direct evidence of the crime now.

No matter how you defend, it will be useless. Instead, it will make Zhongyi Bo even more aggrieved. At this time, a small eunuch quickly walked outside the hall gate. After a few whispers, the small eunuch outside whispered softly: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is here--"

Huo Weilou frowned sharply, and when his eyes swept towards the door, he saw Feng Qin's tense shoulders loosening.

...

Bo Ruoyou knew the news as soon as possible, so he never returned home all night. In the middle of the night, he knew that there was most likely no news before dawn, so he took a break in the Huoweilou Warehouse. At dawn the next day, he just got up and asked if there was any news outside the city. Gong Fu Gong comforted her, waited for breakfast, and waited with her.

Until noon, a garment-embroidered horse entered the city and headed straight to the Marquis' Mansion. After a while, he came to Bo Ruoyou and said respectfully: "The county lord, I found two corpses in the underground palace of Zhuangzi outside Bo City outside Zhongyi Bo City, a female corpse and a five or six-year-old boy's body. They were hidden in the ice coffin and had already become moldy corpses. It had been left for many years, and it seemed that it was Princess Anyang and Feng Yu, the eldest son of Bo Mansion."

Bo Ruoyou's eyes were bright, "I really found it!"

The embroidered envoy continued: "These two corpses were only released, and no other suspicious objects were found. Although the melted gold and silver were found in the alchemy furnace, it did not prove that they were related to the case. Not only that, Zhongyi Bo reported the letter to the palace. His Majesty had already let the Marquis and Zhongyi Bo enter the palace, and he wanted to meet the saint at this moment."

Fu'an was stunned, "Enter the palace and face the saint?"

The embroidered envoy said the words of Fuquan to the village. Fu'an looked embarrassed, "No, this Zhongyi Bo has been prepared for it. Our Empress Dowager used to be extremely fond of Anyang and also loved Zhongyi Bo very much. Later, Zhongyi Bo believed in the story and often told the Empress Dowager. This time he must have asked the Empress Dowager for help. If there is no evidence and the Empress Dowager is assured, he will really not be able to hold Zhongyi Bo."

Bo Ruoyou was anxious, "He is really guilty, otherwise how could he make such a arrangement?" After speaking, he asked the embroiderer again, "Are you really a clue?"

"There are many strange things, but there is no direct evidence. When we arrived, the underground palace was covered under the alchemy room. Later, I dug a few places to find the entrances and exits. The underground palace was very clean, and there were no signs of blood or murder. We searched the village, and there was no strangeness."

"What about the clues related to Buddha treasure?"

The embroidered wardrobe shook his head, "There is nothing else, there is only the gold and silver in the alchemy furnace, but everyone has gold and silver. It cannot be proved that it is on the Buddha treasure. When the marquis entered the palace, it is now Lord Sun and Lu Duwei who are directing the search. Reporting back and forth to the county lord, it is also the commander of the commander."

Bo Ruoyou has never seen the Seven Treasures Relics Pagoda or the Buddha's bone relics. However, when she was in the Famen Temple, she had read many records about Buddha treasures, and these Buddha treasures were carefully described on those Buddhist scriptures.

"I remember that in addition to gold and silver, there are many gems and chalcedony on the relic tower. As far as I know, these things cannot be completely melted. We still need to search for these things carefully. Two years have passed since the previous case, and most of the intuitive clues in the village are free of blood. You can find things related to the cult."

After Bo Ruoyou finished speaking, the embroidered clothes envoy turned around and went out of the city to go up the village. Bo Ruoyou looked at Eunuch Fu again, "Master-in-law may send someone to the palace to inquire about the news? The Marquis will not know when it will come out."

Fu'an was originally from the palace, and there were many intelligent servants in the marquis's mansion. He immediately went out to explain. Bo Ruoyou felt a little uneasy in his heart. If this time he was covered up by Zhongyi Bo and the key evidence was destroyed, I was afraid that there would be no more conviction.

Her mind was spinning rapidly, still wondering if there was any missing. At the same time, the Empress Dowager Song was crying for Princess Anyang.

She sighed and wiped the corners of her eyes, "Feng Qin, you have too much obsession, which is contrary to your practice of inaction. Listen to the words of the Ai family, let Anyang and Yu'er's corpses return to the ancestral tomb, so as not to be at ease in the spring. The Ai family often hears that there are too many concerns in the world and that people in the underworld are unwilling to be reborn. It has been almost twenty years since you can let it go."

Fearing that Feng Qin was unwilling, she lowered her voice and said, "This matter is contrary to morality. It will be nice to your uncle's mansion if it is reported. I will open the ancestral tomb tonight and bury Anyang and Yu'er again. It is considered to be unaware of it. If you do a few rituals in the future, this matter will be settled. Your Majesty and Ai's family will not blame you for doing this."
