After teasing the emperor, I overturned the car

Chi Yi was taken aback by this sudden change, and spent the whole day collecting information everywhere, wandering around the imperial garden in boredom, his footsteps were weak, and he almost fell off the rockery.

This was too hasty, he was not mentally prepared at all, and the reform of the Gu Kingdom court was not completed.If Longzhou was in chaos at this time, he would have no way of predicting how the situation would develop.

Thinking of the system's death threats, Chi Yi's heart was in a mess, restless and helpless.He squatted in Zhenghuai Palace until night, and as soon as He Rongchuan entered the house, he jumped up and chased after him. He said without thinking: "5000 people are too few, and the Central Army has tens of thousands. It is safe to bring more."

He Rongchuan frowned slightly, glanced at him sideways, and said for a long time: "I originally said 1 people, but your cousin, the Prime Minister, gave me a look, and the Minister of the Household Department came out to cry for food and wages. enough."

Chi Yi was startled, it seems that He Rongchuan didn't expect an accident, he was tripped by someone.If Xu Jian has no problems, 5000 people are certainly enough, but Chi Yi is not sure whether his wooing will really work, let alone directly say that it may not work.

The last sentence is: "Then I want to go with them, please allow your majesty."

Even if he couldn't increase his troops, he could at least keep an eye on Xu Jian. Anyway, he remembered the mistakes made in this war. If Xu Jian was really passive and sabotaged, he could try his best to maintain the situation.

And most importantly, Chi Yi needed a reason to go to Longzhou to do a mission.

He Rongchuan was pouring tea, but when he heard this, he raised his eyes and stared at him, which made him a little hairy.

"Here." He slammed the teacup on the table.

The tyrant poured him tea?Chi Yi didn't think much, picked it up and drank it, but was choked by the spicy taste, and coughed a few times forcefully.

Let's get down to business!Can you stop playing tricks on people!

"What are you going to do? Will you use troops or kill the enemy?" He Rongchuan poured out his remaining half cup, "Add chaos."

"I..." Chi Yi had already prepared his speech, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly reacted and suppressed them.

He realized that He Rongchuan didn't let him go to Longzhou because he thought he was making trouble.

It's because they don't trust him, don't want him to get involved in the battlefield, and don't want him to be out of control.

Chi Yi's eyes dimmed, he regarded the tyrant as the object to save, but he still regarded himself as the enemy.The road didn't work, he hung his head, turned and walked away.

"Stop... Chi Yi."

"His Majesty!"

At the same time as He Rongchuan called him, Wang Lu just came in and called out too, with a serious expression on his face.

Wang Lu looked at Chi Yi, hesitated for a moment, and said in front of him: "Liu Zheng is dead."

Chi Yi was startled, and blurted out: "How did you die? Did you say anything?"

"Before there was time for interrogation, he died silently in the prison. The imperial doctor looked at him, but he couldn't find the cause of death."

Hearing this, Chi Yi hurried forward, grabbed Wang Lu and left, "There is such a thing, I'll go and see with you."

He was very guilty. After all, he was the one who put Liu Zheng in on his own initiative. Now that he is dead, he is at fault no matter what.He must give an explanation.

"I let you go?" The voice behind him was sharp.

When he looked back, He Rongchuan had already covered his face with a book, "Don't wait long, come back after reading it. It's none of your business that people die in prison."

Chi Yi's heart was softened by these words, so is he trying to excuse himself and relieve himself of guilt?

He stared blankly at the figure of the tyrant for a while. --tyrant?Chi Yi sometimes forgets that he is actually a tyrant.

……

In the inner cell, a group of eunuchs were chatting around a cell.There was a middle-aged man inside. There was nothing unusual about his appearance, his expression was peaceful, and he seemed to be just asleep.

When Chi Yi came over, the doctor in the cell reported back: "This person only had an injury at the back of his head, and it was not serious. I tied him in the prison after a simple treatment, and didn't look at him. After a while, he passed out. The pulse door does not jump, and the body cools down."

"But after searching from head to toe, I couldn't find the cause of death."

Chi Yi glanced around the cell, "Did you touch anything or meet anyone during this period?"

A young eunuch recalled: "It's nothing, I just stumbled on the way and stayed at the door of the next cell for a long time..."

"Which cell? Is there anyone in it?"

The little eunuch led him the way, but when Chi Yi arrived, the little eunuch who ran away first turned pale, pointed at the people in the prison and said, "Dead, dead..."

Chi Yi's eyelids twitched, and he hurried forward, recognizing that this person was captured from the palace, the former guard who was tortured.

——After tortured for so long and didn't spit out anything, he died suddenly?

"There is no injury on the body, I will check again, but I am afraid it is not a normal way of death..." The accompanying doctor got busy.

While Chi Yi was frowning and thinking, there was gradually commotion on the side.He looked up and saw everyone running in panic, and at the end of the cell was... fire!

The Ouchi cell is on fire? !

A young eunuch ran to check on the situation, and stumbled back after a while, out of breath: "I've checked everywhere, all the doors are locked, the key...the key is gone!"

Immediately someone nearby shouted: "The key is missing, what are you waiting for, go knock on the door!"

"No." Chi Yi raised his hand to stop him, changed from usual, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone soak your clothes in water, cover your mouth and nose, and hide at the furthest distance. Lie down lower, don't hit the door, and listen to me. "

Chi Yi, a modern person, has heard about the escape methods in a fire since he was a child.Of the eunuchs and doctors in this room, Chi Yi is the only one with dignity, so naturally they all follow his arrangement.

It is really strange to set fire in this place. The location of the big inner cell is prominent, and the whole palace can be seen when it burns.As long as these people inside protect themselves and wait for rescue, they will not be injured by the fire.

Not to burn someone to death, is it to...

The flames gradually became scorching hot, and the people around were almost gone, Chi Yi suddenly grabbed a passing eunuch, pointed to the ground, "Hurry up and move this corpse out."

Ignoring the little eunuch's bewilderment, Chi Yi went to the cell where Liu Zheng was just now, cruelly dragged the corpse on the ground by himself.

On the side of the cell away from the fire, dozens of people were squatting or sitting under the locked gate, and the prisoners were shackled and tied to the pillars.I don't know who moved a large water tank to soak the clothes covering the mouth and nose.

When Chi Yi arrived dragging the corpse, he was already choked by the thick smoke.He threw Liu Zheng's body on the ground, grabbed a doctor to check it, and buried his entire face in the water tank.

The purpose of this fire was clearly to prevent them from investigating the two people who died strangely.

"Why don't you see the little maid? Could it be that she has already left?"

"No way, I've been at the door, and I didn't see her go out!"

These two words drifted into Chi Yi's ears unintentionally, and he immediately got out of the water tank, followed the sound and grabbed the two gatekeeper eunuchs who were talking, "What do you mean by maid?"

They showed fear on their faces, "Just now...a court lady, from Song Cairen's palace, said that she would give some food and clothing to the old man in the prison. We dare not let him go, but Lao Li probably accepted some benefits, so he agreed Come down, just let her in..."

Chi Yi, a Song talent, has the impression that he was the one who pushed Wanbi into the water last time.Send a court lady to the cell at this juncture?

"Where's that old Li?"

"I don't know... I didn't see it when I ran over just now."

Chi Yi made a quick decision, helped the eunuch throw the cloth into the water, and pushed him in, "Go in and look for the maid, walk with your body bent, and come back when you're really exhausted."

Seeing the embarrassment on the eunuch's face, Chi Yi's eyes turned cold, "This person may be related to the fire. If you can't find her, you can't find Lao Li. If you want to be held accountable, you can only go to you."

As expected, he was startled by Chi Yi and went into the cell.

Before Chi Yi could breathe a sigh of relief, someone patted him again, it was the doctor, "Master Chi, come and see, this corpse is very unusual..."

Chi Yi saw two corpses on the ground, they looked intact just now, but at some point their skin and flesh loosened, and they finally looked like dead people.

"Young Master Chi, look, the jade beads in their palms..."

The palms of the two people's right hands were slightly discolored, similar in size and color.Chi Yi remembered that this thing was related to aura. The system said that the aura system is usually useless, except...

when connecting with people.

He suddenly understood, stepped forward and put the right hands of the two corpses together.As if some kind of mechanism had been activated, their skin peeled off at a speed visible to the naked eye, with corpse spots growing, and it seemed to emit a rotten smell.

Chi Yi immediately separated them, and everything seemed to be still again.

I see.But how to explain this fire?

"Young Master Chi, cough—" The eunuch who was looking for someone was obviously choked by the thick smoke, "Song Cairen's court lady has been found, and I found Flint in her clothes!"

Chi Yi followed the sound and turned his head - this is Song Cairen's court lady, this is Song Cairen himself!

"You set the fire? Who told you to come?"

Chi Yi blurted out the question, but saw that Song Cairen just stared at him and didn't speak.The eunuch next to her pointed to her throat, "She was fine when she came in, why is she dumb now..."

The smoke became thicker and thicker, and Chi Yi used his brain too much, and he was no longer sober.Holding on to what little sanity he had left, he drew a dagger from the gatekeeper, stepped forward and pressed it against Song Cairen's neck in two steps.

He stretched out his other hand to her, and deliberately lowered his voice: "Whoever asked you to come, write to me, and I will protect you."

Song Cairen just smiled forcefully, with contempt in his eyes.Then, suddenly, she thrust her head forward, and her neck hit the blade.

By the time Chi Yi reacted, he had already been sprayed all over his face with blood.The person in front of him fell to the ground and made a muffled sound, leaving no time for rescue.

Chi Yi's eyes were smeared with blood, and he was already unsteady, so he fell back two steps, sat down against the wall, and shrunk into a small ball.

He closed his eyes, the air was full of smoke and fire, and there was the sound of sparks exploding in his ears. There seemed to be someone talking to him in the noisy voices. He was in a state of confusion and ignored it.Anyway, things have been figured out, and they will be saved soon...

I don't know how long it took, Chi Yi seemed to fall asleep and woke up again. He felt someone pat him lightly, and the voice could be vaguely distinguished as: "Young Master Chi, can you hear me..."

Chi Yi was exhausted by the poisonous gas, and he didn't want to take the effort to speak, so he pretended to pass out and couldn't hear.

After waiting for a while, fingers came to probe his breath and pinch his pulse, which was cool and still trembling slightly.He knew that they were here to rescue him, so he let them manipulate him.

Then, he felt himself being picked up and carried away, and he didn't know which eunuch it was, and whether he recognized it or not.However, this person's footsteps are fast, but his hands are very steady. With such good skills, he might not be a eunuch, but maybe a guard.

But the few palace guards he knew had rough lives, who would smoke such a nice fragrance on their clothes?
