"Report!" A guard broke into the door and reported loudly.

What the hell is going on?Jananfeng frowned deeply, and said angrily, "I'm in a panic, what's the matter, tell me what's going on!"

The guard also came in with two people, they were the sneaky two that Pan Yang met that day. When the guard entered the room, he threw them and a heavy black box on the ground, and clasped his fists and said, "Report to the Queen, His Royal Highness, the guard I got a secret letter to report, saying that someone transported the corpse from the mass grave to the palace privately, dismembered the corpse and sold it in the Xiyuan market for profit. I waited for a few days and finally caught this group of young people. If they really found out that they were carrying a box of divided body parts, they were planning to transport them into the palace. The stolen goods were also recovered, please let the queen and the crown prince know."

"What?" The queen broke her voice, and felt that the words were inappropriate, she cleared her throat and said, "It seems that there is something hidden, so I will be detained for the time being and will be tried later."

Sima Yu said leisurely: "Why doesn't the empress want to hear their arguments?"

The two young guards who were arrested were beating their heads like garlic, and they said repeatedly: "The queen spares my life! The prince spares my life!"

Jananfeng's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he said for a while: "You guys go ahead."

One of them kowtowed and said, "We...we don't know anything, but we were entrusted to dig out the corpses from the mass graves outside the palace, transport them to the palace, and then send back a box of corpse parts! Besides these...what do we know? Didn't do anything!"

Sima yelled: "Avoid the important and take the light! Who entrusted you and what your intentions are, if you don't tell the truth, I will send you to feed the tiger!"

"His Royal Highness, please forgive me!" The two kowtowed, glanced at Sima Lun who was looking fiercely from the corner of their eyes, and said for a while, "Yes... a Taoist in the palace... but every time he came to see us, he covered his face. , we don’t know who it is, but they give us a lot of money every time we work. We don’t know what this thing is used for, we don’t know! The weight is almost the same every time it is taken in and taken out, but it is divided It's just a corpse!"

Pan Yang looked at each other in disbelief.Pan Yue tentatively asked, "What's the difference between the body parts you sent in and those you sent out?"

One person said: "There is no difference..." He suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said loudly, "That's right, it can't be wrong! The Taoist told us to pick up the old tombstone to dig up the corpse, so that there is less water, the corpse is light, and it will not be buried I found it. But... I took a sneak peek that time, and every time we send out the corpses, they are all fresh, as fresh as freshly cut!"

Seeing the flustered look in Sun Xiu's eyes, Pan Yue took out a silver knife from behind, and said with a smile, "Is that so?" After finishing speaking, he took out a shriveled and rotten corpse from the black box, and threw it on the chopping board in front of Sun Xiu. Go up, hold a silver knife, raise and lower the knife, and cut the piece of carrion into two.Miraculously, after this piece of carrion was cut with a silver knife, the black color of the carrion gradually faded from the surface, and the dilapidated body tissues seemed to be reborn, and new granulation sprouts slowly grew, and after a while, it turned into a piece of fresh of meat.

The faces of everyone became strange.

"This silver knife is the Miao people's Gu knife." Pan Yue held up the knife, showed it to everyone, and said, "It can restore the original appearance of rotten and dilapidated things because it has input countless Countless Gu worms. These Gu worms exchange their own flesh and blood for fresh meat, not for anything else, just for camouflage. In this way, they have the opportunity to be eaten by beasts and even humans, and enter their bodies , Absorb their energy and Yang Yuan! Are you right, Daoist Sun?"

"What? I bought this knife!"

"This is terrible! This knife... Didn't this knife be bought in the hands of that Sun Xiu?"

Sun Xiu was shocked, her face turned blue and white, and said: "This is really... It seems that I was also deceived. I bought this wonderful knife from the Western Regions peddler and sold it to everyone. It was out of good intentions. ...Since this knife is so evil, everyone can ask me for a refund."

Sima Ruo rushed in front of him, grabbed his throat with one hand, and said sharply: "The person who digs up the grave and dismembers the body, and framed me, isn't it you!"

He exerted great strength on his knuckles, and Sun Xiu's throat was choked, and his face was flushed, but he still refused to admit it: "It's not me! There are too many people buying knives. Why do you say that?" it's me!"

What he said was reasonable, and besides, he was a member of King Zhao. Sima Yu couldn't strangle him to death in public, so he had no choice but to let go.Sun Xiu fell to the ground, breathing heavily.

Jananfeng took the opportunity to break the siege and said: "Since the matter has come to light, His Highness the Crown Prince was framed. The Crown Prince has suffered a lot of grievances these days, and I feel guilty. Seeing what the Crown Prince likes about these birthday gifts, you can pick a few and take them away. , as if I am apologizing to the prince on behalf of the emperor."

These words were so tactful that the prince's grievances accumulated for many days had no place to release. He was silent for a while, and said: "Since I have been proven innocent, I only need one thing, and the past will be forgotten."

"what?"

Facing the questioning or hostile gazes of everyone in the hall, the prince said majesticly, "I want the emperor to issue an order to reduce taxes on merchants, open up business management and control, and attract business capital from foreign vassals, so as to strengthen our national strength!"

At that moment, the prince's body exuded a dazzling light. In Pan Yue's eyes, his figure really overlapped with Sima Yan, radiating the brilliance of a real dragon emperor, forcing everyone in the hall to bow their heads involuntarily.

Everyone said: "His Royal Highness has the world in mind, which is admirable!"

Jananfeng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, she frowned slightly and said: "The prince's proposal is appreciated by the palace, and I will definitely discuss with the emperor afterwards to implement this case."

Everyone glanced at the slumped, sleepy emperor, and sighed in their hearts: It would be great if the throne was given to the crown prince.

Half a day's twists and turns were bizarre, fighting and fighting, leaving a mess in the hall.Kill what should be killed, punish what should be punished, reward what should be rewarded, no matter how many organs are exhausted, everything has its own definite number in the dark.

Pan Yue watched Sun Xiu leave with a horrible and angry expression, put the jade flute in the long box, and returned it to the accountant who was counting the birthday presents, then walked out slowly, holding hands with Yang Rongji.

After walking a few steps, I saw Shi Chongzheng in a blue shirt outside the hall talking to a man in a Chinese suit, and green beads stood beside them.Shi Chongchong waved his hand at the man in fine clothes, his expression was a little impatient, and the man's face was also gloomy, it seemed that the two were arguing over something.

Seeing Pan and Yang approaching, the man suddenly seemed to have found a helper, waved to Pan Yue again and again, and called him very affectionately: "Yue Zi, come quickly!"

Pan Yue: "Confinement?"

Seeing his blank face, Yang Rongji twitched his mouth slightly, and said in a sarcastic tone: "This is Jia Mi, the regular attendant of Sanqi, the nephew of Empress Jia. The three of you used to wear the same trousers as a good friend. Somehow Yes, I didn’t even take a look at it after you were injured, and I’m calling you over now, I’m afraid I need to catch up on the old days.”

The two walked over, and Jia Mi held Pan Yue tightly in a bear hug, and said, "My good brother, long time no see. I heard that you were seriously injured, and I was so worried that I couldn't eat. Now I see that you are fine. Finally feel relieved!"

Yang Rongji and Shi Chong rolled their eyes.

Pan Yue struggled to break free from his bear hug: "Lord Jia, please speak up if you have something to say!"

Shi Chong said nonchalantly: "My lord, I can't decide this matter, you still have to ask our successor's opinion."

Jia Mi smiled and said: "It's natural. Just now Yuezi was so brilliant at the banquet and saved the emperor's life. The queen empress praised you very much!"

Are there any compliments?Pan Yue raised his eyes to look at Jia Mi with a sincere face, and said in his heart that he would be thankful if he didn't turn around and curse at me.

Jia Mi said: "The empress also said that Luoyang Taixue really has a lot of heroes. If she can have such an outstanding young man as Yue Zi to work under her command, she will wake up laughing when she sleeps. Let me tell you the truth, Yue Zi, I grow up It's so big, I've never heard her praise anyone so much."

This is Chi Guoguo's solicitation.

Pan Yue blinked, looked at Yang Rongji, and then at Shi Chong, but both of them pretended to be looking up at the sky and had nothing to do with themselves, so Pan Yue could only clasped his fists to Jia Mi and said, "Loyalty is the king of food!" I just did what I was supposed to do today. Speaking of it, I contradicted the Empress Empress a few words, and please tell the empress, don’t blame me for the urgent action.”

Jia Mi said solemnly: "Yuezi, I'll just say it straight. At today's banquet, you obviously helped the crown prince. Aren't you afraid that this action will hurt the queen's heart? You also know that the current emperor's ability is limited. Since the first emperor passed away, If the empress hadn't been in charge of government affairs inside and outside the palace, where would the present peaceful days come from? You are a senior disciple of Luoyang Taixue, and you are a role model for many young people today. If you are willing to join hands with the empress to build the Great Jin|Jiangshan, yes You and I are all beneficial to the country and have no harm. Mountains of gold and silver, you have as much as you want."

Pan Yue paused and said: "I, Luoyang Taixue, was ordered by the emperor to protect the land of Jin from the invasion of monsters. I have never been involved in party disputes or political affairs. I only listen to the emperor's orders. How can I help?"

Jia Mi said: "Yes, yes, you Luoyang Taixue don't eat fireworks in the world, and you, including Mr. Meng, are upright and upright, like ice and snow." He narrowed his long and narrow eyes and approached, "But Yue Zi , you and I are both involuntary in the troubled times. If you are a little careless, you will be lost forever. You said that you only obey the orders of the emperor, and the emperor and the queen are of one mind. It's just that the prince is not a descendant. If the prince has a whim one day , coveting the throne, wanting to replace him, who are you helping?"

Pan Yue scratched his head and pretended to be surprised: "When the first emperor passed on to the current emperor, he had already appointed a candidate for the crown prince. I didn't know there were other options. Could it be that someone wants to replace the crown prince?"

Jia Mi said angrily: "Pan Yue, you are so loyal, why do you like him?"

Pan Yue thought for a while, and said, "He can kill pigs, but you can't."

Jia Mi was choked, and his eyes were wide open. Could it be that he is a regular servant on horseback, a general in the rear army, and the queen's nephew, because he can't kill pigs?

Pan Yue nodded and made a heart-shaking gesture: "Since ancient times, chefs and butchers have never been separated. Mr. Jia, it is impossible for you to separate us!"

Having said that, the two sides have already made it clear that the transaction cannot be negotiated, and there is no need to continue the negotiation.
