Your Majesty, don't look back. I am Your Majesty.

Lu Siyao finally became alert, and an inexplicable chill arose in her heart!

"Excuse me for asking Lord Lu a question."

Yu Huaian said, "When I was working in the West Factory's case library, I accidentally read about this flower-picking case that shocked the court and the public. It mentioned that the Divine Police Department had tried their best to catch this person, and also knew his identity - it was the famous Shuzhong bully, Sun Dachuan."

"Then why."

"And then the evil thief escaped?"

"this......."

Hearing the other party mention this, Lu Siyao's eyes were also a little confused: "The group of seniors from the Divine Detective Department who investigated this case 20 years ago have all retired now, but... according to the files left behind at that time, when Sun Dachuan was being escorted back to Beijing, he was attacked by a mysterious fourth-grade master, causing the thief to escape."

"Well, it is right."

"That's also what the files in my West Factory's archive say."

Yu Huaian said: "However, compared to the few words in the files of the Divine Detective Department, the records of Sun Dachuan's life anecdotes are more detailed."

"Oh?"

Lu Siyao was a little surprised: "Tell me about it."

Yu Huaian said: "Sun Dachuan, whose original name was "Sakigawa Sunichiro", was from a tiny country overseas, Fuso Yingdao, and was the eldest son of Emperor Asuka."

"He is born with extraordinary physical strength and a murderous temperament. He bullies men and women and does all kinds of evil. He is hated by the people of Yingdao."

"Later, Emperor Asuka passed away, and the shogunate rebelled and seized power. The shogunate's shogun, Minamoto no Yoshitsu, took control of the government and supported Emperor Asuka's youngest son as the new puppet. In response to the people's wishes, he ordered the killing of the eldest prince, Sakigawa Magoichirō, who was hiding among the people."

"Seeing that there was no hope for him to stay in his native land, Sakigawa Magoichiro, with the help of his father's trusted old subordinates, crossed the ocean and came to the prosperous empire he had longed for, the Great Xia Dynasty."

"Master Lu, why don't you guess where he went?"

Yu Huaian suddenly threw the question to the other party.

"Of course he went to Shu County in the southwest. This man committed countless murders there!" Lu Siyao gritted his teeth.

"Yes."

Yu Huaian asked: "Then who was the big shot who really controlled Shu County at that time?"

"Yes... Your Majesty?"

As if realizing the seriousness of the matter, Lu Siyao stood up suddenly.

"good."

Yu Huaian also stood up, raised his official boots, and pointed at the left face of the fat corpse: "Master Lu, do you see the word "Wa" tattooed on its face?"

"It was the current emperor of Great Xia, the former Prince Rui, who personally ordered the tattooing."

"There is such a secret? Has the Prince Rui's Mansion in Shu County ever caught this evil thief?"

Lu Siyao's eyes widened. "But... after I took office as the Chief of the Divine Detective Department, I went to the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice to look for files on this thief, but I didn't see any such record! How come your West Factory's case library has it?"

"How can the intelligence from your Western Depot be more detailed than that from the Three Law Departments and the Divine Detective Department combined? This... is impossible! The court will not allow it!"

"You're right, but this is the West Factory in its heyday."

Yu Huaian looked into the void, his eyes somewhat generous: "On the books, there are 10,000 slaves, 30,000 secret servants, intelligence network covers the world, there are the "Eight Tigers" in their peak period, and the Jinyiwei as his running dogs, stepping on the East Factory, pressuring the Imperial Palace, and even the two supreme grandmasters in charge of your Qianbu have to give way to them."

"What a pity. Everything that is prosperous must decline. There is no going back."

"Hmm... is it really that amazing?"

Lu Siyao was stunned for a few seconds, and then got back to the point: "As you said, the emperor... No, since the Rui Palace caught this rapist from Ying Island, why didn't they execute him?"

"Well, this matter is very intriguing."

Yu Huaian said: "In the subsequent files of the West Factory, there is no record of how the Rui Wang Mansion dealt with this rapist. The name "Sakigawa Sunichiro" appeared again eight years later. The Rui Wangye, who spent his days in love with mountains and rivers, harmless to people and animals, and indifferent to fame and fortune, had already stood out in the turbulent royal family disputes and served as the emperor for five years."

"It was also in this year that the horrific "flower-stealing case" occurred in the harem."

Yu Huaian paused, and suddenly lowered his voice: "Si Yao, you are also a veteran in the government, you should also know a truth -"

"Due to current political reasons, there are inevitably some vague parts in the court's files and history books. What we should do is not to focus on what is said above, but to deliberately..."

"Something's missing."

"I think you should understand what I'm saying now, right?"

Yu Huaian looked stern, and in order to avoid the other party not understanding, he deliberately added: "Well, there are only two of us here, I might as well be more straightforward--"

"How did the group of demon sect assassins sneak into the harem a few days ago? That's how the rapist "Sakigawa Magoichirō" sneaked into the palace back then."

"It is no coincidence that he now appears in the secret passage of the East Factory."

"Okay, that's all I have to say. If you say one more word, I'm afraid you'll have to deal with the Nine Clans Elimination Game~"

“No wonder…”

Lu Siyao had a complicated expression, "No wonder that night...Except for the late emperor's widow, the current emperor's concubines were all safe and sound. The person behind Liu Jin of the East Factory is really that person..."

"So, what exactly are we, the Divine Detective Division, pursuing after two generations of hard work?"

"If behind the dark sky of this empire is an even deeper darkness, can we, as ants, really see the so-called light?"

Lu Siyao murmured to herself, her pair of cold and sharp beautiful eyes unexpectedly became somewhat sad.

"I have another question. Brother Yu, can you discuss it with me?" After calming down, she asked again.

"Well, Lord Lu, please tell me."

Yu Huaian counted on his fingers and said, "I can only give Lord Lu about one third of an incense stick of time. You know, Empress Wan has a bad temper."

"After all, the late emperor is his elder brother. Why would he be so cruel?"

Lu Siyao hesitated for a moment, but ultimately avoided the name of the current ruler of the empire.

"I really don't know this."

Yu Huaian fell backwards and lay on the ground. "Even the West Factory at its peak only mentioned the mysterious coup d'état 25 years ago in passing, and only wrote the name of the big winner. Yes, it was King Rui Wudao."

"However, I can see that the current emperor hates the previous emperor extremely. His hatred is so deep that he will never forget it for three lifetimes."

“How come you see?”

Yu Huaian raised his eyebrows and asked, "What posthumous title did the current emperor confer on the late emperor?"

"Xia...Li Zong!" Lu Siyao seemed to have thought of something, and her beautiful eyes widened slightly.

"good."

Yu Huaian: "Brutal and ruthless is called Li, killing innocent people is called Li. In the 1,600-year history of Daxia, Emperor Jing of Ming is the only emperor to receive this 'honor'. Just imagine how much hatred he must have."

"The imperial family is the most ruthless, it is true."

Lu Siyao smiled sadly: "I suddenly feel a little ridiculous. I thought I was working for fairness and justice in the world, but now it seems that I am just like the East and West Factory guards, and I am the emperor's pawn..."

At this point, she suddenly realized something and said apologetically:

"Sorry, Brother Yu, I didn't mean to target you..."

"It doesn't matter."

Yu Huaian waved his hand magnanimously, "Actually, Lord Lu, why are you so sad?"

"You know, there's an old saying in our hometown."

"The politician has no house, but the humorous person always smiles."

"Even if the current emperor is not very capable, you have to admit one fact: the current era is indeed a perfect continuation of the previous dynasty's foundation, a rare and peaceful era in a century, with all nations paying tribute."

"We are both young, our martial arts are not weak, our careers are thriving, our families are healthy, and we both have a bright future. We are already better than most people in this world."

"As for the rest, it's none of our business."

"My father-in-law is young, but he has such a thorough understanding of the world."

Lu Siyao stared at the young eunuch in front of her with her beautiful eyes, who seemed to be hiding something. She asked again, "I still want to ask you one more question, eunuch..."

"Call me Brother Yu."

"Okay, Brother Yu, are you really just a eunuch?"

Lu Siyao pondered for a long time, and finally threw out the deepest questions in his heart.

She couldn't lie to herself.

At this moment, she surprisingly hoped that the other party would tell her frankly that he was actually a man who could stand tall and proud!

No matter if he is a young master from a declining noble family, a son of a poor family, or a criminal from the martial arts world who is afraid of being seen in public, it’s all right!

In this way, whenever she recalled the interaction between the two of them in the big clock just now, she might have more...

"Okay, the time is almost up."

Yu Huaian stood up and asked, "Has Si Yao figured out how to close the case?"

Lu Siyao shook his head: "Brother Yu, didn't you notice that there is actually another suspicious point in the whole matter?"

"Yeah, I know what you want to say."

Yu Huaian said, "You mean, since His Majesty has personally ordered you to investigate the case of Xue Gang from the East Factory, isn't he afraid that the secrets in this secret passage will be discovered by us?"

"Yes, Your Majesty is a cautious person, and this is against common sense."

"It's very simple."

Yu Huaian said: "After your majesty took the throne, he ordered Liu Jin to get rid of the evil thief from Ying Island, but Liu Jin had selfish motives and secretly hid the latter."

"And it is very likely that Liu Jin sent someone to kill Sakigawa Magoichirō while we were trapped in the Fan Bell."

"If I'm not mistaken, at this moment, Eunuch Liu should be in the Golden Palace, being whipped like a black slave from Kunlun by His Majesty with that sawtooth whip."

"That's fine."

Although he has a straight-forward character, he has been in the government for many years and is well versed in handling affairs. Lu Siyao weighed the pros and cons.

Her eyelashes moved slightly, and she closed her eyes dejectedly, "I will try to report to His Majesty according to what Brother Yu said..."

"Well, Si Yao, you can be upright and flexible in your official duties. You will become a great man in the future."

Yu Huaian exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, and then remembered something: "By the way, the headless female corpse with the highest status outside, I suggest you--"

He didn't finish his words.

A cold and magnetic male voice came clearly from the cave entrance:
