Episode 21

Xiaorou takes the lead in confronting Henghui. Her martial arts skills are superb, but there are only a few people in the world who can match her.However, after only three rounds, Xiaorou was thrown to the ground by Henghui and was seriously injured.Upon seeing this, Yang Yan immediately rushed over to rescue.What is shocking is that Yang Yan's sword has penetrated Heng Hui's chest, but Heng Hui seems to have an immortal body and is instantly resurrected with full blood.Fortunately, Yang Qianhuan made a last-ditch attack in time. Henghui knew she was outmatched and fled in a hurry.

Yang Qianhuan, Yang Yan and Xiaorou were all confused. Henghui's arm did not seem to be his own, and that powerful magic power was definitely not something ordinary people could possess.They were all speculating whether there was a more powerful instigator behind Heng Hui.At this time, Yang Qianhuan heard that the official recently assigned Tong Luo to handle the case. He was secretly surprised and decided to meet Xu Qian in person to prevent his glory from being overshadowed by Tong Luo.

Heng Hui fled to a dry well, where Heng Yuan was meditating silently.Seeing Heng Hui returning injured, Hengyuan persuaded him to turn around and give up, but Heng Hui turned a deaf ear and even wanted to eat his senior brother to replenish his energy.

Xu Qian returned to Wei Yuan's office and saw Xiaorou and Jiang Jinluo both seriously injured and looking miserable.According to Yang Yan's description, Heng Hui's kung fu has probably reached a first-class level.Next, they have to wait for Xu Qian to track down the mastermind behind the scenes.Wei Yuan told Xu Qi'an not to use Qi-gazing on officials above fourth grade when handling cases, but he also made it clear that he could bring a warlock to assist.Xu Qian thought he could bring Caiwei with him this time, but Yang Yan mysteriously told him that a more powerful person would accompany him this time.

Who is this more powerful person?Xu Qian was full of curiosity.When he walked into Si Tianjian, he discovered that it was Yang Qianhuan.He only knew the name from the words on his clothes, but the real person never showed up.No matter how hard he tried, Xu Qi'an could not see the true face of this person.This Yang Qianhuan is worthy of being a fourth-level formation master. His steps are light and he can avoid Xu Qi'an's pursuit at will.

In order to make the other party put down their guard, Xu Qian deliberately composed a poem and sent it to Yang Qianhuan.Yang Qianhuan couldn't help but feel excited when he heard that someone specially tailored a quatrain for him: "holding the sun and moon in hand and picking the stars, there is no one like me" in the world.When he heard that Xu Qian was going to interrogate Zhang Shen, the Minister of War, he immediately expressed his willingness to accompany him.

As Si Tianjian's fourth-grade formation master, Yang Qianhuan just waved his fan gently and brought Xu Qian to the Ministry of War Shangshu Mansion in an instant.Even with his back to Zhang Shen, he could feel that Zhang Shen was lying in all the questions he asked Xu Qi'an.After working with Yang Qianhuan for two quarters of an hour, Xu Qi'an still failed to see the person's true face as he wished.

Suddenly, the jade mirror made a sound, and someone discovered Hengyuan's traces.Xu Qian immediately rode to the scene with the watchman.There is not only Heng Yuan, but also Heng Hui who has lost his breath.Hengyuan explained how Henghui chose to commit suicide to save him the night before.Then, he told everyone the secret that Heng Hui kept deep in his heart: just a year ago, Princess Pingyang did not agree with the emperor's marriage, so she entrusted Pingyuan Bo's legitimate son to get a magic weapon that could shield the breath, and found someThose who can be trusted are prepared to abscond late at night.

However, this escape was destined to be a tragedy.Princess Pingyang and Heng Hui were betrayed by Zhang Yi, the son of Zhang Shen, the Minister of War, during their escape.Zhang Yi ostensibly agreed to provide help, but actually wanted to use this to attack King Yu.As soon as the carriage left the capital, Zhang Yi showed a sinful face.He stoned Heng Hui to death and attempted to slander Princess Pingyang.But Princess Pingyang refused to obey and pulled out the hairpin from her head and committed suicide.

At that time, Heng Hui had been stoned to death, but another expert used his body as a vessel to convert the evil spirit.When Yang Yan heard this, he immediately guessed that it was the corpse puppet.Xu Qian really dug up the body of Princess Pingyang according to the address provided by Hengyuan.Lin'an also rushed to the autopsy room after hearing the bad news.She was heartbroken when she saw her best sister, Princess Pingyang, lying there.

Princess Pingyang’s mother also rushed to the morgue.First she lost her husband and now she learned that her daughter had also left her, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.The eldest princess was filled with grief and anger when she heard the bad news in the palace.She usually behaves calmly, but this time she was so angry that she scolded those who came to complain to leave.

Lin'an's tears fell silently after learning that Princess Pingyang's death was caused by the persecution of Zhang Yi, the son of Zhang Shen, the Minister of War, and the legitimate son of Heping Yuanbo.After she returned, she wrote a letter in blood and presented it in person to the former emperor and many courtiers.In the morning meeting, when all the ministers were present, Lin'an, dressed in plain clothes and holding a blood letter in his hand, stated to the emperor the tragic experience of Princess Pingyang.Her pale face and eyes red from crying made many ministers feel frightened.
