The troops in Mi Lane, Dongjiang outside Huitong Pavilion were in chaos, and the Yulin Army was as if facing a great enemy.

Li Xuan was furious and the prince's substitute died on the road, and the Yulin Army, who was responsible for escorting, was to blame.

Hundreds of thousands of times!

At this moment, the Goryeo envoy had been forced to retreat to the Huitong Hall by the Yulin Army and was not allowed to take the Huitong Hall step.

Li Xuan held a sword in his hand and lit a few Yulin Army brought back from Guyuan: "Zhou Chong, Zhou Li, Duobao, Li Cen, you each lead eighteen people, guard all entrances and exits, and no one is allowed to let the eunuchs know about this in advance."

Chen Ji glanced at him: "It's too late."

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment: "What's too late?"

Chen Ji explained: "The Secret Spy Department has been catching the spy detectives of Jingchao. When they escorted the Goryeo envoys to see each other, they changed their casual clothes and hid among the people. When we came out of Chengtian Gate, there were also secret spies following us. As soon as the substitute died, they immediately went back to report the news. There were hundreds of Goryeo envoys, and it was impossible to find the murderer in such a short time. As soon as the Secret Spy Department arrived, the Yulin Army could not stop them."

Li Xuan frowned: "What should I do? Now the poisonous minister is waiting for an opportunity to retaliate against Qi, Chen, Xu, and all of them are related to their relationship. If the eunuch party catches the handle, he will be skinned even if he is in the imperial prison and does not die!"

Chen Ji said calmly: "It's over now, and you have made the worst plan and you may have to go to the imperial prison."

Zhao Zhuofan, the deputy commander who had previously argued with them in the Governor's Office, suddenly sneered: "The envoy was escorted by you, and it has nothing to do with me. I will not wade into this muddy water with you."

After saying that, he called his troops: "Let's go!"

Li Xuan said in a deep voice: "Can't leave! If you leave, the rest of these people will not be enough to block Dongjiang Mi Lane. If the prisoners escape, no one can afford it!"

Zhao Zhuofan glanced at him sideways: "What, can Lord Li still order me? Even if Commander Chen is dismissed, he has to wait until the new Commander comes!"

Li Xuan took a step forward and said in a voice: "I know you are angry, but Chen Wenren's dismissal has nothing to do with us. It was because he dereliction of duty and he took it upon himself."

He stood opposite Zhao Zhuofan with his sword and continued, "Since the beginning of the establishment of the Ning Dynasty, no envoy died suddenly on the territory of the Celestial Dynasty. This is not assassination, but a alliance to break the vassals and a pledge to split the vassals. If we do not thoroughly investigate, the vassals of Ryukyu and Annan will doubt that our Daning loses its power, and the five-sided tribute road collapses from then on. At this time, we should put the overall situation first and bring evil thieves to justice first. How can we play with private affairs?"

Zhao Zhuofan turned around and left: "Don't you just hold me with a big hat, go!"

Li Xuan suddenly asked: "I'll ask you again, are you really going to leave?"

Zhao Zhuofan said without looking back: "Let's go!"

However, at this moment, Li Xuan raised his sword and fell down with his sword, slashed his sword from Zhao Zhuofan's neck, and his head fell to the ground. Just as Guyuan raised his sword and fell down on the same day, thousands of troops killed the generals and seized the flag.

Scarlet blood splattered on Zhao Zhuofan's white cloak, and on Li Xuan's face, everyone present was shocked.

Qi Zhenjue exclaimed: "My mother! Brother-in-law, his aunt is the most favored concubine of the second wife of the Chen family. You just killed it like this?"

Li Xuan wiped the blood off his face casually: "According to my Daning Law, Chen Wenren was dismissed. Now there is only one commander left in my Yulin Army, and he can temporarily take over the power of the governor. Zhao Zhuofan disobeyed the military order and should be executed."

The soldiers under Zhao Zhuofan were shocked and suspicious. They looked at the Yulin Army who had returned from Guyuan with Li Xuan, but the Yulin Army looked at Zhao Zhuofan's rolling heads quietly, as if they were looking at a sheep that had just been slaughtered.

"Vomit!" Zhao Zhuofan's soldiers began to retreat one after another.

Li Xuan shook his wrist and waved the blood on the blade: "I'll ask you, are you still leaving?"

The vomiting soldiers glanced at the body that was still squirting blood, and hurriedly said, "I won't leave!"

Li Xuan said loudly: "Now is not the time to vomit. Zhou Chong, Zhou Li, Duobao, Li Cen, you will lead troops to block the Mi Lane of Dongjiang. Those who violate the order will be killed without any attention!"

Zhou Chong and others clasped their fists and responded: "Yes."

After saying that, the four of them ordered their troops and turned toward the alley.

When he turned around, the white cloak behind him opened and closed like a fan.

Li Xuan then carefully ordered: "You go to the roof of Huitong Pavilion to stare at it."

"Hey," they all turned over and climbed up the roof, stood on the ridge and looked around.

At this time, Chen Ji squatted in the bluestone alley and looked down at the body.

Li Xuan also squatted down and asked in a voice: "How did you die? Poison kill?"

Chen Ji did not answer hastily. He lifted the corpse's clothes and saw that the body was covered with black green, and his fingertips seemed to be soaked ink. He pinched the corpse's mouth and even his tongue turned black.

The body appears black and blue, which is mostly related to hypoxia. When the oxygen content in the blood is insufficient, the skin and mucous membrane may appear cyanosis, which is called cyanosis.

Three common poisons that can cause cyanosis are aconitine, tributary vine, and marzizi. Among them, aconitine is a banned drug and cannot be bought or sold at will.

However, the time for aconitine poison is about half an hour to two hours, and the Thunder Vine takes several days, or even dozens of days.

Chen Ji said, "Ma Qianzi, only Ma Qianzi can get poisonous on the spot."

Li Xuan looked shocked: "Is it possible to distinguish it so quickly? Is there any other slow poison that happened to be a poison at this time?"

"Impossible. Two hours ago, this substitute was still in the palace, without eating or drinking, and eliminated aconitine; Thunderbolt Vine needs to be poisoned every day. If you have this ability, you should not poison a substitute. In addition, you cannot control the time of death, eliminate it." Chen Ji said calmly: "It is not difficult to identify what poison, nor is it important. What is important is... who poisoned him?"

From the Meridian Gate to the Mi Lane of Dongjiang, he and Li Xuan were always near the sedan chair. They were sure that no one had ever been close to the sedan chair.

Chen Ji pulled away the corpse's clothes to check if there were any signs of blowing needles.

No.

Chen Ji groped out his clothes again, but found nothing.

Li Xuan frowned and said, "Can the murderer be found? The Secret Spies Department is probably coming soon."

Chen Ji did not answer and turned to look at the Prince of Goryeo in Huitong Hall: "Criminal, when you entered the palace to face the saint, you said that Jing Chao thief assassinated you several times?"

Prince Goryeo stood inside the door and nodded: "Three times."

Chen Ji asked again: "Where are them, I want to review them."

Prince Goryeo said: "They committed suicide by taking poison when they were caught. The death was exactly the same as my substitute."

Chen Ji thought for a moment and said loudly: "Where is the secretary of Huitong Library?"

A middle-aged lieutenant ran out of the Huitong Pavilion: "Sir, lie is that."

Chen Ji said: "Come on the list, I want to check all the items carried by the envoys of the Goryeo Mission, and each item should be recorded."

According to Ninglu, when the envoys come to Beijing, they must register every needle and thread, and no omissions are allowed.

The clerk hurriedly said, "Some, some."

He ran back in a short stroll, and when he came out again, he held a thin blue account book in his hand: "The items he carries have been registered and made one by one, and there is no prohibition."

Chen Ji opened the account book: "What is the name of the dead man?"

The clerk replied: "Kim Minho."

Chen Ji turned over one page after another, and his eyes set on a certain page.

...

...

At this moment, I heard someone outside Dongjiang Mi Lane faced the Yulin Army and had an unquestionable confidence in his words: "The Secret Spies Department will arrest the matter and retreat."

This man speaks domineeringly, but his voice is as angry as if it will break at any time.

Chen Ji calmly put the account book into his arms. He turned around and saw that the person who came was a middle-aged man with fair skin and a gloomy expression.

The other party's lips were gray and as if they were poisonous, and their lives were not long.

Li Xuan whispered: "No, Xuanshe."

Chen Ji looked carefully and saw Xuanshe wearing a black cloak and a square flat scarf. He looked like a scholar who did not look like a scholar or a eunuch.

Behind Xuanshe, dozens of black-clothed spies were pressing their waists and staring at them.

The Yulin Army blocked the road, and the Xuanshe tightened the collar of the cloak with expressionless expression, and walked into the alley as if no one was around, forcing the Yulin Army to retreat one after another.

In the end, only Zhou Chong, who had returned from Guyuan, left, and Zhou Li drew his sword angrily and acted to slash with one sword.

"Stop!" Li Xuan sighed in his heart: "Let Lord Xuanshe come here."

Xuansnake glanced at Zhou Chong and Zhou Li said, "Mr. Li saved your life, but since you drew your sword to me, you can be punished by death, and you can't escape the crime of living."

As he said that when he passed by the two of them, his hands poked out from the cloak and gently tapped on them. In an instant, Zhou Chong and Zhou Li's eyes suddenly became turbid, and their mouths seemed to be stuck in paste, and they could not open their mouths.

Li Xuan was furious: "What are you doing!"

The Xuan Snake passed between the two and said casually: "I am the twelve zodiac signs of the Secret Spies Division. I am the 12 zodiac signs of the Secret Spies Division. I am the emperor's attendant, and I am beheading the rebel ministers and the evil ministers below. Not everyone is qualified to draw the sword from me. This technique will be solved in three days. I want them to survive and pour water from their noses for them to drink."

At this time, a sneer came from the roof: "Lord Xuanshe is so powerful. I'm not the only one who has been above the three, so I started calling myself 'I'? Lord Tianma hasn't even called himself 'I' yet!"

Xuanshe said coldly: "Nonsense, Lord Tianma doesn't speak at all."

"Hahaha, your cruel official method of the little five-defeated person is okay to scare the young men of the Yulin Army. Don't take it out casually in the future and show your eyes."

Chen Ji looked up and saw a thin and short man wearing a wooden monkey mask, hunched over. He was originally guarding the roof, but he was now holding it softly in his hand.

Bao Monkey?

Before Chen Ji could think about it, a familiar voice came from the roof opposite Baohou: "Oh, why are the big shots of my spy department here?"

It’s not necessary to look at Chen Ji, you can tell that it’s Jiaotu and Yunyang.

It's extremely lively.

Li Xuan whispered: "Why are so many eunuchs coming?"

Chen Ji whispered: "The sick tiger is gone."

Li Xuan was puzzled: "Hmm?"

Chen Ji explained: "The sick tiger was sent to prison and was ordered to be executed by His Majesty. Now the three zodiac signs are empty, so the rest of the zodiac signs in the Secret Spies Department are naturally ready to move. For the sake of credit, they will do whatever they want."
