Chapter 650: Chapter 532: Significant Clues and the Royal Court (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_1

PS: A big Chapter of five thousand words, making up for the noon due. I’m here again to ask for monthly tickets, the situation is really urgent at the moment.

※※※※

"Oh?" Li Xuan immediately showed a look of anticipation: "What kind of gain is it?"

Yu Shiyue, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, also looked serious and listened attentively.

Zuo Daoxing took out a thick stack of files: "I have found out the method they used to assassinate the Crown Prince. Li Ze, a medical official from the Imperial Physician’s Institute, made black datura powder, which was then allocated to Prince Cheng’s Mansion through the imperial medicine department. Zhang Yuanhua, the right Weishuai of Prince Cheng’s Mansion, took the medicine on the pretext of old injuries and brought the medicine powder to the Crown Prince. Madame Yuan, a female officer, was responsible for putting the black datura powder into the sachet of the Crown Prince."

His eyes were extremely cold: "The figure of Lama Dojitsunin appears in the memories of these three people, but they themselves can’t remember, and even don’t know what they have done. This is an extremely sophisticated illusion technique. If our spell cultivators were not capable, this matter would never be clarified."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan thought to himself that Zuo Daoxing finally couldn’t hold back and began to use the secret technique of soul searching.

Most soul-searching techniques are tantamount to torture. They damage a person’s primordial spirit and intelligence, leaving a great deal of potential dangers, and the more tragic ones may even directly turn into dementia.

But Li Xuan can understand. The pressure that Zuo Daoxing is under is increasing day by day.

If he doesn’t find any clues, the Emperor will probably replace him.

At this time, Zuo Daoxing looked at him with a grateful look: "This is also thanks to the Marquis of Guanjun. If we had not locked on to the black datura and the two lamas in advance, we would not be able to find this memory."

It is known that a person’s memory is vast and complex, and the soul is fragile.

Methods of soul searching and soul hunting are not omnipotent. Most likely, they will scour a person’s soul until it is full of holes and the soul is shattered, but they will not find any memory related to the case.

So Zuo Daoxing did not dare to use this soul-searching technique until now.

It’s like knowing the ’answer’ beforehand when solving a problem, and then looking for the ’process’, which makes it a hundred times easier.

"Illusion technique? But how did they deceive the sacrament technique cultivator who was with the Crown Prince?" Yu Shiyue stroked his beard, looking puzzled. "And this Dojitsunin, is the lama who impersonated Dojitsunin and came to the capital, right?

Since these three people have been in contact with Dojitsunin, why was it only discovered now?"

The level of the spellcaster in Prince Cheng’s Mansion provided by the Emperor is extremely high, including two cultivators of the Twelfth Layer Stage and sub-heavenly level spellcasters from the inner court.

All the servants under Prince Cheng’s Mansion are also regularly checked. Various techniques, illusion techniques, Gu technique (a form of black magic), etc., are all included in the inspection items.

These inner court spellcasters have been learning this kind of knowledge since they were young, after all, there are various divine abilities in this world.

And the members of the royal family, especially, must be careful to avoid assassination.

Zuo Daoxing explained: "Of the three, Medical Officer Li Ze has always been in Capital City. The right Weishuai Zhang Yuanhua and female official Madame Yuan were only assigned to the Crown Prince after he left Nanjing.

They are devout believers in the Esoteric Sect, and have been to Longfu Temple to listen to sutras successively. It should have been at that time, they were implanted with the seeds of the illusion technique, but it has been hidden and not erupted, so they escaped the investigation of the Sacrament Technique Cultivator.

Dojitsunin and his party met with the Crown Prince at the Post Station on New Year’s Eve to activate the illusion seeds in the minds of the right Weishuai Zhang Yuanhua and the female official Madame Yuan. At that time, Prince Yi Yu Jianshen was also submitting his resignation as Crown Prince. This should be the opportunity for them to decide to assassinate the Crown Prince."

Li Xuan glanced at Luo Yan, his gaze full of inquiry.

After a moment of contemplation, Luo Yan nodded slightly: "If this is the case, then it makes sense. Although these three were bewitched by the illusion technique, as long as they bear no evil intent towards the Crown Prince, it would be very difficult for the Crown Prince’s personal spellcaster to detect it in time.

If I’m not mistaken, Dojitsunin and Zaxigongbu are not the ones who cast this illusion technique, they are just relay nodes, right?"

She further explained to Li Xuan: "For instance, if I want to confuse Zuo Du Du with an illusion technique, so as not to expose my identity, I would first use an illusion technique on you and then meet with Zuo Du Du through you. This is a kind of more sophisticated illusion technique."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan immediately understood. This is just like when hackers commit crimes in later generations, they like to do it through several layers of puppet machines.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, Yu Shiyue, was still puzzled: "But since they have this top-level illusion technique, why did they use the Silkworm Gu on these two lamas?"

Isn’t this an unnecessary move?

Zuo Daoxing just snorted: "This is exactly what I want to say. The mana of those two lamas is no trivial matter, they are spell cultivators at the tenth house level. I have also checked their identities. They are taoists from Emei who have been missing since June of last year. Those people couldn’t control them for a whole year with just the illusion technique."

He stared coldly at Li Xuan and Yu Shiyue: "I suspect that Bang Zhengyi, Qing of the Honglu Temple, is also bewildered by the illusion. The reason he is dwelling in WanYue House throughout the year is actually not voluntary.

Although he is a pseudo-confucianist, he also has a cultivation at the eleventh house level, and he is not that easy to control. Those people must reinforce their mental illusion every few days. Only through Li Yueer can they not arouse suspicion."

Just as they were discussing, Xue Yunrou hurriedly arrived.

After she arrived, she looked at Luo Yan with a complex expression.

In the past, when she was in Nanjing, Li Xuan would take her along whenever he came across a case.
