Chapter 8 The emperor helps the spirit, and the country mourns into the dust

News soon spread throughout the Heavenly Kingdom.

The whole family of Gu's family was killed by a beggar.

The Meridian Gate cuts the evil spirit, and the snow in July is really ridiculous.

This incident has a great impact and the people's hearts are slightly shaken.

Today, when Emperor Jingyuan heard about the snow in July, he was furious and directly removed the three of them from their official positions and issued an order to assassinate the border.

On this day, Emperor Jing Yuan was discussing the floods in the south with the prime minister in the imperial study. Eunuch Li, the general manager, ran in panic, lowered his head and bowed, and said tremblingly: "Long live the emperor, the prince of Dingguo is fighting the drums of injustice outside the palace!"

Emperor Jing Yuan was stunned and frowned when he remembered something.

After the snow in July that day, he thought about retrialing the case. Later, a secret letter from the south was sent to an emergency of 800 miles. The secret letter reported that the rainstorm in July was heavy, and the Qiantang River in the south of the Yangtze River flooded nearby towns and drowned countless ordinary people who had no time to escape.

As soon as the flood broke out, the crops were destroyed, and the official roads leading to the north and south were also submerged. The military rations that were to be delivered to the prince before the end of July were forced to delay and delay halfway.

Last year, Dali sent troops to attack Jiangnan, and the prince Chen Yan led 200,000 cavalry to the southern Xinjiang to support him. The food and wages they brought were calculated carefully and could last at most one month. If the military rations were not delivered within one month, the army would be shaken.

It is all a matter whether the prince can defend the southern border at that time and whether the prince can return safely.

The escort was a military general who could not control the water, so he immediately sent people to whip the horse and sent this secret letter to Chang'an.

Emperor Jingyuan is the most important person in the crown prince, who is the eldest son of the emperor, so he naturally loves him more and more.

After Chen Yan was made the crown prince, Emperor Jingyuan invited the best scholars and military generals of the Celestial Empire to be his husband, and personally taught the way of governing the country - he used the crown prince as his successor to cultivate it, and now the crown prince is going to cut off military rations, Emperor Jingyuan is the first to worry.

In recent days, he has been discussing with the prime minister how to deal with floods and send military pay quickly, so that he has left behind the death of the family killer of Dingguo.

"Long live, today is the first seventh day of the Dingguo Hou, and it is the day to help the spirits and bury them." Seeing Emperor Jing Yuan coming back to his senses, Eunuch Li hugged and reminded him.

"I'll go and help the spirit." Emperor Jing Yuan pondered for a moment, put down the memorial, got up and walked out of the imperial study room.

The discussion was fruitless. The Prime Minister silently carried a bundle of memorials and returned to the Prime Minister's Office, and invited several upright ministers in the court to continue discussing the problem of managing the flood.

Chen Cong heard the deafening sound of drum beats and came to the outside of the imperial city with an umbrella.

After the snow stopped, another heavy rain was happening.

The boy's thin back was particularly clear in the rain. He beated the drum firmly, not caring whether he would be unable to hold on to fall down due to the cold.

No matter how strong a person resists, his body is made of flesh.

Gu Jiuling was in the rain twice in a row and was responsible for organizing the funeral of the Gu family for the past seven days without a break.

Chen Cong could see that the little prince's fatigue was all written in those eyes without any turbulence.

He slowly stepped forward and grabbed Gu Jiuling's cold hand.

"Go and bury your father first. After the hour, he will be unable to return to the underworld." Chen Cong slowly opened his lips.

Gu Jiuling's body stiffened slightly.

He lowered his eyes and loosened the drumsticks.

The drumsticks fell to the ground, and the mist in the boy's eyes also fell to the ground.

"Jiuling, I will work with you to help the Dingguo Hou to bury the souls." A thick voice came from not far away.

The two of them looked at each other and saw Emperor Jing Yuan coming from afar in robes.

He didn't hold an umbrella, and came all the way in the rain. He pulled up the two of them who were about to kneel down and patted Gu Jiuling on the shoulder: "I will give you an explanation to Gu's loyalty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Jiuling lowered his eyes and wanted to bow, but was pulled back.

"Go to the Marquis of Dingguo Mansion, I will help you with your spirits."

Chen Cong looked at the two of them and followed Eunuch Li, who was chasing her slowly with an umbrella behind her.

He turned his head silently and went to the yamen.

Two men dressed in bright flying fish robes conducted a post-mortem with the coroner in the morgue.

The corpse was the skull that Chen Cong saw in the thatched hut.

When Chen Cong came over, he saw that the skull was completely empty and the biting marks on the skull also changed.

"Human teeth marks are not done by monsters." One of the flying fish bowed to Chen Cong in a long robe and slowly opened his lips.

They are the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty, responsible for reviewing the case.

Chen Cong frowned.

"What I saw that day was the traces left by the monsters." He reached out and touched the skull, found a trace of magic, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Want to hide the truth?

He took off the jade-faced keel fan from his waist, formed seals with both hands, and made a set of magic tricks under the novel eyes of coroner.

"Break the battle in front of the army!"

Chen Cong shouted softly, and a burst of blue smoke suddenly appeared from his skull. The blue smoke dissipated, and the monster's teeth marks were exposed again.

The two Ming tribes looked at each other, then bowed and said, "Since there is a monster, then we will transfer to the secret tribe for review."

When Emperor Jingyuan went to the Marquis of Dingguo Mansion, he asked Eunuch Li to pass an oral order and took the Jinyiwei to investigate the Gu family's destruction case.

The Jinyiwei took over and came for the autopsy immediately.

So this scene happened.

Chen Cong nodded, and after the coroner left, he went to the Duwei Mansion with the two Ming Dynasty Jinyiweishus to ask the commander of the hidden imperial guards.

Commander Song Cheng is a newly appointed official. It is said that he is only thirty-two years old and is already in the realm of becoming a baby.

At this age, he has cultivated his baby to become a baby, which shows how terrifying his talent is.

Chen Cong is now just a yamen prisoner and has never seen his immediate boss. When he saw the real person, he always felt that he had seen Song Cheng's face that looked weak.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Cong suddenly remembered that the person who had been greedy for a landlord last year was angrily scolded and dismissed by Emperor Jingyuan, seemed to be called Song Cheng.

It seems that it is him.

Chen Cong raised his eyebrows.

His father has always been decisive in his actions. Like the Ming Taizu, he never appoints corrupt officials. Once found out, he will be dismissed directly. He will be sentenced to the crime of embezzlement and then become a slave and sent to the frontier.

This Song Cheng seems to be an exception.

However, the current situation is to find out the real culprit of Gu's family's destruction case.

Let’s talk about the others later.

After hearing this, Song Cheng pondered for a moment and slowly opened his lips: "In this way, I ordered Chen Cong to take over this case, and be sure to clarify the injustice."

"Subordinates obey the order." Chen Cong bowed his head and bowed.

In the Jinyiwei, there are many children of princes and nobles. They all let go of their own figures and only the following people think of themselves.

Chen Cong is the same.

In the heavy rain, the bell in Chang'an City started to ring, and three times passed.

It's a death knell.

Chen Cong stood in the high building of the imperial city, looking at the spirit-helping team on the streets in the distance.

They all wore vegetarian clothes and covered coffins with white cloth and walked in the rain.

Gu Jiuling walked at the forefront with the tablet of Dingguo Hou, followed by Emperor Jingyuan who was helping the spirit and the fearless Eunuch Li.
