Although Gonggong Liu is a eunuch in the palace, his identity is actually very special.
Speaking of which, this father-in-law has a great relationship with the Queen Mother.
Back then, he was only a teenager when he was sent to the palace, he was very stupid, and he was often beaten and scolded.
On that day, he didn't know what he broke again, and was hung up and beaten by the great eunuch.
It happened that the Queen Mother, that is, Concubine Li of the year, passed by and felt that he was pitiful, so she saved him and took him with her from then on.
Concubine Li had a gentle personality when she was young, and she was very generous to the people around her, and Gonggong Liu was young, so she took special care of her.
This Liu Gonggong has been treated like a pig and dog since he was born, and it was the first time that someone treated him well, so he was simply dead set on Concubine Li and protected him with all his heart.
Later, the case of the tanuki changing the prince happened, Concubine Li was in trouble and went to the people, and in order to save her, Gonggong Liu was seriously injured and thrown to the mass grave.
He also had a hard life, and after crawling out of the pile of corpses, he met a master and learned martial arts, and he was determined to avenge Concubine Li.
This person has a withdrawn and ruthless personality, but he is loyal to the Queen Mother.
Concubine Li's experience of returning to the palace was quite bumpy, and the person who helped her the most was Master Bao and the Eighth Prince, who was Master Pang.
Taishi is sleek and has an extremely accurate vision, he has done a lot of work for Concubine Li in secret, and he is very compatible with Gonggong Liu.
The eunuch has no heirs, so Gonggong Liu regards Concubine Pang and Pang Yu as his own, especially for Concubine Pang, plus the Queen Mother, he especially likes this girl's slightly delicate temperament, so this time he is busy before and after, but he has made a lot of efforts.
Zhan Zhao knew that this old man's kung fu was very good, and he practiced all evil skills, although he had a vicious personality and didn't help his relatives, but he was definitely interested in the Pang family, so he should have a lot of clues at hand.
As soon as the old man arrived, Zhan Zhao arched his hand to him and said, "Father-in-law, there is one thing I want to ask first. ” Gonggong Liu was not surprised, and asked Zhan Zhao, "Does Master Zhan want to ask if Fang Jun's death has anything to do with the little marquis?"
Zhan Zhao smiled and nodded, and sure enough, the eunuchs in the palace who were a little older were all demon-level human spirits.
Gonggong Liu shook his head with a serious expression, "It doesn't matter at all" Zhanzhao frowned slightly.
"I'm not partial to the little marquis."
Gonggong Liu said very seriously, "First of all, Fang Jun's kung fu is very good, his internal strength is strong, if he wants to kill him with one punch, he must be a top master, but Hou Ye has no internal strength at all, and he is pampered and lacks exercise on weekdays, he can't even beat a dog with one punch."
Zhan Zhao nodded.
"Secondly, there are some strange things about this incident."
Gonggong Liu continued, "Although Hou Ye is arrogant, there are so many generals around him, why did he personally fight with a person who is so much better than him in kung fu, he doesn't know who Fang Jun is, according to a few generals who were with him and a few of his friends, it was Fang Jun who provoked the little Hou Ye and insulted Concubine Pang and the princess. ” Zhan Zhao was surprised, "Didn't Fang Jun say that he was a scholar and a martial artist?"
"It's strange here," Liu Gong said fairly, "Many guys and guests in Taibaiju saw it that day, and they all said that Fang Jun's speech was very ugly, and he used this kind of words to humiliate his sister and father, and he was a man who wanted to fight." ” Zhan Zhao felt that he wondered if Fang Jun's knowledge of books and etiquette was just a rumor, but he was actually rude, or that he had a holiday with the Pang family and deliberately provoked "I asked my friend who was having dinner with Fang Jun at the time."
Gonggong Liu continued, "Someone mentioned that Fang Jun was in an extremely weird mood that day. ” "What a weird way" "Fang Jun himself is relatively calm, and he is very polite and educated, I don't know what happened that day, he was short-tempered" Liu Gong said fairly, "That day, he humiliated Pang Yu with bad words, which surprised several of his friends In addition, they also mentioned that Fang Jun's steps were vain that day, and he didn't seem to have much strength, so he entangled with Pang Yu for several moves, otherwise, Fang Jun would easily kill Pang Yu with one punch." ” "Could it be that he was unwell before he fought Pang Yu" Zhan Zhao thought for a while, "Actually, there is a simple way, just conduct an autopsy." ” Gonggong Liu waved his hand, "When Fang Jun just died, the yacha carried the body to Dali Temple, and then Fang Jun's second brother arrived, emotional, and his eldest brother also arrived the next day, so that no one could touch the corpse, and after a few days, the golden knife prince took the third child and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to the gate of the imperial city. ” After hearing this, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, this process was indeed unreasonable "Why is Fang Jun in Kaifeng," Bai Yutang asked.
Gonggong Liu shook his head, "I don't know, I didn't summon him, but he was originally only inheriting the title and not holding a position, maybe he came over with his second brother to run errands or play." ” "Is the body still in Dali Temple?"
asked Zhan Zhao.
"Yes," Liu hesitated.
"How" is puzzling.
"Fang Ba didn't let people perform an autopsy."
Grandpa Liu was helpless.
"Why" Zhanzhao frowned, "obstructing the case" Gonggong Liu sighed, "The Fang family's statement is that the person died while fighting with Pang Yu, and when so many people saw it, it was already regarded as a complete human and material evidence, what kind of corpse should be examined?"
Zhan Zhao blinked, "That's all right, then I can also say that he died suddenly while eating in Taibaiju, so many people have seen it, maybe someone poisoned him." ” Gonggong Liu smiled bitterly, "The Fang family said that the little marquis is the emperor, Dali Temple and Kaifeng Mansion, no matter which party conducts the autopsy, what if it is done with hands and feet" When Zhan Zhao heard it, he felt unpleasant, "He doubted Lord Bao's justice" Gonggong Liu spread his hands, "The specific old slave is really limited in ability, and it depends on Lord Zhan and Bai Shaoxia." ” Zhan Zhao frowned, Bai Yutang leaned on the railing on the side and continued not to speak, but after listening to Gonggong Liu's narration, Bai Yutang also felt that there were some places in it that were quite suspicious "That Fang Ba promised to wait for a month, and he promised that Master Bao would be tried after he came back," Zhan Zhao asked.
"Yes, yes, but the autopsy is still not allowed."
At this time, Zhao Zhen walked out.
Gonggong Liu hurriedly saluted, Zhao Zhen signaled no, and sighed, "If it weren't for my beloved concubine coming to prison with her pregnancy, I suspect that Fang Ba would have been able to tear Pang Yu apart in front of me." ” Zhanzhao frowned, "So horizontal" Zhao Zhen put on a very pitiful look, "Yes, it's difficult for me to be an emperor." ” Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang subconsciously twitched the corners of their mouths, to a certain extent, Zhao Zhen's personality is strange enough.
"Why don't you refuse to do an autopsy?"
Zhan Zhao couldn't figure it out.
"I probably know."
Zhao Zhen provided Zhan Zhao with another clue, "Fang Ba is actually brave and unscrupulous, this person's military exploits back then were not bad, and it is said that it is completely due to the witch sect." ” "Witch Sect" Zhan Zhao really wants to pluck out his ears, what does it mean, before fighting, he should calculate a hexagram or bow down "There are a lot of rules in the witch sect, so you have to ask some veterans, or someone in the Ninth Uncle's army to know."
Zhao Zhen said, "The rules of that witch cult are very strict, and one of them is that you must not touch the corpse after death."
When Zhao Zhen said this, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were stunned, it was a coincidence that the people in charge of the fire before seemed to be not allowed to move the corpse.
"It's like some kind of death."
Zhao Zhen said and beckoned to the front.
Sure enough, I saw Nangong Ji come out of nowhere and appeared in front of everyone.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both sighed that Nangong was like Zhao Zhen's shadow, and it was really everywhere.

"The Queen Mother's decree has been delivered" Zhao Zhen stretched out his hand and patted Nangong's shoulder, there was some dust, it seemed that he had just come back from a hurry.
"It's been delivered."
Nangong replied in a low voice, "Vice General He said that it will be handled by the Nine Princes." ” Zhao Zhen sighed helplessly, "What kind of death did you find before?"
Nangong Ji thought for a while, "The Grim Reaper is a ghost general, the emperor."
Zhao Zhen seemed to remember, and nodded, "It seems that so, you tell them, I will go back to the palace first."
After saying that, he took the people and left.
Nangong was helpless.
Gonggong Liu also went into the house to visit Concubine Pang, Nangong just wanted to speak, but Zhanzhao stopped him, "Wait a minute, save for dinner" Nangong opened his mouth, Zhanzhao dragged Bai Yutang, and invited Nangong Ji to go to Taibaiju to eat hot and sour crabs.
Taibai is on the third floor, in the private room set by Baiyutang.
Nangong Ji looked at Bai Yutang, who was drinking against the window, and Zhanzhao, who was holding a crab leg in front of him, finally understood what "next to dinner" meant.
Zhanzhao put a crab in front of Nangong Ji's eyes, and asked him with a smile, "What kind of ghost is going to die?"
Nangong was also hungry, peeling the crabs, and said to Zhanzhao, "I asked a few veterans to inquire, Fang Ba said so back then, when they were fighting, many generals believed in a kind of witchcraft, and the gods they worshipped were ghost generals."
Zhanzhao listened to it freshly, "At most, those who fight will worship Guan Erye, and they will also worship other gods."
"Ghost General" Bai Yutang drank wine and muttered to himself.
Zhan Zhao looked at him, "I've heard it."
Bai Yutang took another sip of wine and replied, "The name is really ugly. ” Nangong Ji shook his head, "The legend of this old general is not prevalent now, it seems that because the Nine Princes fought and even refused to worship the Bodhisattva, so this trend was stifled later."
It was very common in the early years, and it was said that this ghost would have a ghost head and a human body and legs. ” "Human body and horse legs" Zhan Zhao raised his face and began to think, and after a while, he asked again, "Is it the front leg of the horse or the hind leg of the horse" Nangong amused him, "That veteran told me that it was the head and body of a person, plus the body and legs of a horse. ” Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang tacitly raised their faces together and began to imagine for a long time Bai Yutang asked, "Don't you wear pants?"
The corners of Zhanzhao's mouth twitched, and the focus of Bai Yutang's attention was really different from that of normal people.
Nangong put down the crab, took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, took out a piece of old yellow paper from his waist, and handed it to Zhanzhao, "This is an image of a ghost general collected by a veteran's family." ” Zhan Zhao held a crab leg in his mouth, took out a handkerchief from Bai Yutang's sleeve pocket, wiped his hands, stuffed Bai Yutang's sleeve pocket, took the drawing, and shook it away in front of him.
Bai Yutang felt that Zhanzhao's action was done in one go, and it was extremely smooth The so-called "ghost general" painted on that image has a hideous face and is very scary.
A ghostly face, green fangs, and unkempt hair.
He was dressed in worn armor and held a large knife and a shield in both hands.
This person's upper body is very strong and burly, with abrupt muscle lines and abrupt green muscles.
And his lower body turned into a horse.
Not to mention, it is quite natural to go from the human body to the body of the horse, with four thick and powerful hooves, and a lion's tail.
"Oh" Zhanzhao touched his chin with emotion, "It's amazing" Bai Yutang glanced at it and suddenly laughed.
Zhan Zhao looked up at him, as if he was saying something funny, and let me laugh too.
Bai Yutang pointed to the person, and then to the horse, and said, "I don't know if this is a man or a god, but I just think that this backbone is really peculiar, it is actually a folded horn, and he has ribs in both upper and lower places, a few hearts and a few lungs to eat or grass."
Zhan Zhao blinked, and it was indeed ridiculous to continue to touch his chin.
"Is this god so powerful?"
Zhan Zhao asked Nangong Ji.
"Well, according to legend, as long as you worship the right thing, the ghost will suddenly rush into the enemy's camp that night and kill the enemy without leaving a single piece of armor."
Nangong said, broke open a crab, and sighed that the crab roe was so spicy Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang stared at Nangong.
"Really."
Nangong took a spoon and scooped the crab roe, "The veteran told me this, I didn't make it up." ” "But we can worship the enemy, too" Zhanzhao felt unbelievable, "Why didn't any ghosts rush into our barracks" "The ghost will be Han," Nangong Ji replied briefly.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were speechless again.
"Then why did the emperor say that it was the god of death" Zhanzhao was still more careful, and asked Nangong, "Do you still have something to say?"
"Hmm" Nangong thought for a moment and said, "I heard rumors that the ghost general is doing a life-for-life deal, in other words, if you want him to kill as many enemy soldiers, you have to give him as many lives." ” "What do you mean" Zhanzhao frowned.
"There are two ways to say this."
Nangong Ji broke off the two crab tongs and said, "What about the statement on the surface, some generals use paper figures to deceive ghost generals, and some say that they use livestock instead." ” "What about the secret statement," Bai Yutang asked.
"It is rumored that when the war was fought, although the battle was won, the people in the nearby villages mysteriously disappeared."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were surprised.
"You mean, the generals of the year killed the local hundreds, changed their names with the ghost generals, and won the war" Zhanzhao frowned, "Then what kind of war is there to fight, isn't it to protect those people?"
"So it's just a legend, and there's no way to verify it."
Nangong Ji reminded, "Fang Ba is in his eighties, he was not yet forty years old when he was fighting, and it is not easy to find a veteran now."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded.
"It is for this reason that wherever there are ghosts on the battlefield, the local villagers often die overnight, so there are many places where the ghosts will be called death."
Nangong Ji said, "When I told the emperor, he reacted a little bit to this, maybe the ghost has forgotten about him, and he only remembers this god of death." ” "It's for this reason that Fang Ba didn't let people move Fang Jun's body" Zhan Zhao felt that the old man was probably not saved.
"There is another rumor, do you want to hear it" Nangong Ji ate something and had a bottom in his stomach, and he actually gossiped.
Zhan Zhao nodded that he wanted to listen, and Bai Yutang also raised his eyes to look at him.
"Fang Ba actually has five sons" Nangong Jidao, "They are Fang Wen, Fang Wu, Fang Quan, Fang Cai, and the youngest Fang Jun, a talented man in civil and military affairs." ” Zhan Zhao was at a loss, "This is the first time I've heard of it, not to mention that there are only civil and military talents."
"The real third should be Fang Quan."
Nangong Ji said, "These four brothers are named according to their all-round talents in civil and military affairs, where was Fang Jun back then, who would have thought that he would have a son Fang Ba in his sixties who was obsessed with war and never forgot the battlefield, always hoping that he could train a few generals to gallop on the battlefield to serve the country."
So back then, when he was worshipping the ghost general, he asked for a hexagram to measure the future of his four sons.
At that time, a blind fortune teller broke the hexagram for him, and it is said that the hexagram is: one is generous, two is honest, three is disobedient, four is unblessed, and five Tengda" Zhan Zhao frowned, "How can this old general be like an old lady who cooks rice, so believe in these gods and Buddhas?"
"To each other."
Nangong shrugged his shoulders, "Just because of this hexagram, Fang Ba didn't love the third child since he was a child, and later the fifth child was born, he was overjoyed and even more convinced of the fortune teller's interpretation of the hexagram Because of this article, it is said that the old third party has lived a very hard life since he was a child, and even his mother is not favored."
Finally, on the way out to run errands, Fang Quan encountered a hotel walking in the water and was burned to death.
Not long after he died, his mother fell ill and died.
Fang Ba didn't even send someone to find Fang Quan's body, he directly changed the family tree and removed Fang Quan. ” Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were puzzled when they heard it, this is really a big forest, and there are all kinds of birds, and the general who is in vain overlords actually took his own son as an enemy because of a few words from a fortune teller "It can be seen that the fortune teller is not accurate."
Zhan Zhao sneered, "This old five didn't go anywhere, he died so early." ” "That's a good fortune teller."
Bai Yutang held the cup and said quietly, "Who let him take the third child, without the third child, the fifth child will become the fourth child, isn't it blessed?"
Zhan Zhao thought for a moment and nodded, "That's the case." ” After Nangong finished what he was about to say, and he was full of food and drink, he clapped his hands and said that he would return to the palace to restore his life, and before leaving, he didn't forget to remind Zhanzhao, "Ouyang and Zou Liang will arrive tomorrow, and Ouyang is estimated to have a quarrel with Fang Ba in front of the battle." ” Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang inexplicably decided to call some duck necks, chicken feet or something, and find a better place to squat tomorrow to watch Ouyang Shaozheng scold the street.
"Speaking of which, Fang Ba is over eighty after all."
Nangong shook his head, "Don't be angry with Ouyang tomorrow."
With that, he walked out of the window.
When the others left, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang continued to eat crabs and drink, and the two discussed, sneaking into Dali Temple at night to take a look at Fang Jun's corpse Speaking of this, Zhan Zhao suddenly let out an "ah".
Bai Yutang was taken aback by him and looked at him, "What's wrong?"
Zhan Zhao knocked on the bowl with the crab legs, "I forgot to ask why Bao Yan was in prison":
