The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

The next day, the sky suddenly brightened.

"what!!!"

The guard who was changing shifts rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked up to see the bloody corpse of Qi Gui hanging in front of the Chang'an Gate.

Except for the intact face, the rest of the body is exposed flesh and organs.

There was a long scratch from the belly to the neck, it was really a ripped open belly...

The eyes were exposed, the tongue and genitals were cut off, and the limbs were missing.

The death was extremely miserable.

The guard at the city gate was so nauseous that he leaned against the wall and sent someone to report in panic.

Xie Zhiyan, the Minister of Justice of the Dali Temple, came hurriedly in a crimson official robe. What he saw was a large pile of red flesh and blood, intestines, and blood flowing all over the ground.

If it weren't for the intact skin on his face, no one would recognize that he was Qi Gui, the dandy young man from the capital city in the past.

A breeze blew, and the air was filled with the sickening smell of blood.

Xie Zhiyan frowned, took out a handkerchief from his bosom and covered his mouth and nose.

"My lord, the blood is still hot!"

The coroner came forward and carefully examined the body, then declared, "The deceased must have died less than half an hour ago."

"In addition, the deceased's hands and feet were chopped off, his tongue and penis were cut off, and finally he was skinned alive and disemboweled..."

"He died until his blood slowly dried up."

"This method of committing the crime is rare and extremely cruel!"

"The victim must have suffered inhuman torture for several hours before his death."

Xie Zhiyan looked at the corpse on the ground coldly, his face expressionless.

He knew very well that the murderer's method of committing the crime was extremely cruel and without any humanity.

But Qi Gui was a man who had committed so many evil deeds that his death was not a pity.

"Go, send someone to notify the people from Duke Qi's mansion to collect the bodies." Xie Zhiyan said in a deep voice.

After that, he led his men to the alley where the crime scene occurred.

In the messy alley, the corpses of secret guards were scattered all over the ground, like a small slaughterhouse.

The bloodstains on the ground have dried up.

They all killed with one sword, cleanly and neatly.

His empty eyes stared blankly ahead, and the expression on his face remained only at that moment of horror.

"grown ups!"

His subordinate, Zhao Hu, stepped forward, bowed, and said respectfully, "This was found on the corpse..."

Afterwards, the hidden weapon found on the corpse was handed to Xie Zhiyan.

Xie Zhiyan lowered his eyes and took a look. They were all very ordinary hidden weapons.

However, these hidden weapons are all poisoned and can kill instantly when in contact with blood.

Everyone looked around for a few times, but found nothing except wounds and hidden weapons.

Xie Zhiyan ordered Zhao Hu to take people to quickly clean up the scene.

The morning breeze was a little cool and blew gently.

Xie Zhiyan raised his eyes and noticed an inconspicuous corner.

In the corner, there were a lot of miscellaneous items piled up, and in the middle of the pile lay a plain handkerchief stained with blood, moving with the wind.

Xie Zhiyan stepped forward and picked up the blood-stained handkerchief with a dagger. He looked at it for a long time with deep eyes.

Obviously, the murderer used it to wipe the sword.

Zhang Long, his capable general, saw this and stepped forward and asked, "Sir, have you found anything?"

Xie Zhiyan shook his head.

Zhang Long looked solemn and said in a deep voice, "Sir, this case doesn't look simple!"

"I've heard of skinning and tendon removal before, but this is the first time I've seen someone disembowel someone."

"The murderer's methods were extremely cruel, and in all likelihood he was seeking revenge."

"Not only did they skin and gut me, but they even cut out the most important part of a man's body..."

Thinking of Qi Gui's horrific corpse, Zhang Long smacked his lips repeatedly: "Tsk tsk, as a man, what kind of deep hatred could make him kill so cruelly!"

Xie Zhiyan curled his lips upon hearing this, and said with a half-smile: "Who says it must be done by a man?"

Zhang Long was startled, his eyes filled with astonishment: "What the adults mean..."

"Could it be that the murderer is... a woman?!"

"This is impossible!"

"How can a woman be so capable!"

“Absolutely impossible!!!”

As he spoke, he pointed to the corpses on the ground, his eyes full of disbelief.

Xie Zhiyan's eyes darkened and he said nothing.

Zhang Long continued, "However, there weren't many traces left at the scene. I'm afraid..."

Before he could finish his words, a subordinate came up hurriedly and whispered a few words to him.

Zhang Long's pupils slightly widened, and after a pause, he said, "Sir..."

"The Jingzhao Yin's men have received the news and are on their way."

"I'm afraid that person in the harem won't let this go!"

Xie Zhiyan sneered and said sarcastically: "Just wait, the best is yet to come!"

……

Although the Dali Temple blocked the news as soon as it was discovered, it was still seen by many people who went in and out of the city early and spread by word of mouth.

In less than an hour, the news spread throughout the capital, causing panic among the people.

As the matter concerned the reputation of the Qi family, Empress Dowager Qi was furious and ordered the Jingzhao Yin to cooperate with the Dali Temple to investigate the case with great momentum.

He looked as if he was determined to get to the bottom of the matter and seek justice for the Qi family.

In less than half a day, there was no progress in the investigation of the murderer, but a shocking scandal was exposed in the Qi family.

The seriousness of the situation caused a sensation in the entire capital.

While investigating a case, Xie Zhiyan, the Minister of the Dali Temple, led his subordinates to search a villa of the Qi family in the suburbs of Beijing, and found many young women who were tortured and covered with bruises, some of whom were not even of marriageable age.

What shocked everyone even more was that beneath the entire patch of brightly blooming flowers on the hillside behind the villa, there were buried the bones of countless beautiful women.

Even Xie Zhiyan, who had witnessed countless grand scenes, was shocked and remained speechless for a long time.

In the face of power, the lives of ordinary people are worthless.

Piles of white bones finally saw the light of day.

Afterwards, the couples whose daughters were missing beat drums in the capital to protest their grievances and made the matter public.

Especially the scene where the relatives of the victims held the corpses of their daughters and grieved and cried out to the sky at the gate of Dali Temple.

Those who heard it were saddened and those who saw it shed tears.

Even though the Qi family and the Queen Mother wanted to suppress the matter, they couldn't do anything.

For a time, Qi Gui's evil deeds of robbing women, raping and killing innocent women, and burying their bodies became known to everyone in the capital and caused a sensation.

The common people who had been severely persecuted by the nobles also stood up to seek justice and fight back.

All the evil deeds and crimes are earth-shattering and outrageous.

The Qi family aroused public anger and was criticized by the people.

"Under the emperor's feet, this Qi family is simply lawless and full of evil!"

"It's pitiful for those innocent women who died tragically..."

"That's right, the Qi family bullies others by taking advantage of their power!"

"God has eyes, thanks to that unknown hero who enforced justice and severely punished the evildoer!"

"Qi Gui, the evil villain, deserves to die. A good death!"

"The Qi family still has the nerve to brazenly cry thief, bah!"

"Quie, there is not a single good person in the Qi family!"

"All the evil thieves of the Qi family deserve to die!"
