The two major cliques in the court argued in public, and the other officials immediately stood in line, each holding their own opinions and quarreled endlessly!

The old emperor was not displeased. He coughed for a while, then slowly calmed down, looking at the scene in the hall quietly like watching the show!

Zhou Yun squatted beside the prefect of Jingzhou who had not yet gotten up and asked about the situation carefully.

The old emperor looked over several times, but when he saw Zhou Yun's expression was calm, he was not surprised when dealing with things, and was completely concerned about the people, he couldn't help but feel a little turbulent in his eyes.

"Prince Xian, why do you believe that the moat has nothing to do with evil spirits? The Imperial Heavenly Priest uses astrological signs to speculate about good fortune and good fortune, and it has always been accurate. If it weren't for evil spirits, how could it explain the strange phenomena in heaven?"

Hearing the old emperor speak, all the officials in the palace immediately calmed down.

Zhou Yun knelt down and bowed and replied, "Reported to the emperor, my son and I have transferred the case files of the Ministry of Justice a few days ago for review, I found a criminal case that was tried by Wuyang County Magistrate Du Mingcheng. The details of the case were similar to the strange phenomenon of the moat this morning."

"Oh? Let's hear what's going on!"

"Yes! In the middle of summer this year, ghost fire suddenly appeared in the middle of the night in the thousand-year-old cemetery in Daijiazhuang, Wuyang County. Most nearby villagers saw it with their own eyes that the ghost fire was blue, jumping and running. The cemetery sounded at the same time, just like an unjust soul seeking a life. The villagers were frightened and rumors spread everywhere, and they were not at peace. Therefore, the witch was invited to do a witch in Daijiazhuang, intending to drive away evil spirits, but it was useless, so they had to report to the county government. Lord Du sent Shiye Longxingtu to lead people to Daijiazhuang to investigate the truth. As a result, the living person pretended to be a ghost, which led the government to dig out an old white bone in the abandoned well. The so-called ghost fire is just a natural phenomenon, also called phosphorus fire, which usually appears in the graves more than the dry days in summer. The phosphorus contained in the bones of dead people is ignited after high temperatures, and blue-green or red fire will appear."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yun kowtowed and bowed, saying, "Master Long successfully solved the murder case, and in the case file submitted to the Ministry of Justice, he specially made a rigorous and correct explanation of the ghost fire phenomenon. There are also blue flames in the moat vision, so the son-in-law dared to guess that it must have nothing to do with the evil spirit. If the father trusts the son-in-law, the son-in-law is willing to ask for an order to investigate the matter!"

The old emperor thought, "Since there is a precedent for the Dragon Star Chart, let's try it out. I will allow all the three points you mentioned just now and I will leave them to you with full authority to investigate."

"My son obeys the order!" Zhou Yun accepted the order happily.

The old emperor immediately changed his mind and said, "Such as the Emperor, I ordered the Imperial Heaven Supervision to closely monitor the astrological constellations and report them every day, and do not slackew!"

"I will receive the order!" Yan Jing bowed his hand, lowered his eyes and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After retiring from the court, Zhou Yun dispatched more than 100 constables from the Ministry of Justice to block the moat. He also ordered the study room to walk and envision the emperor list and post it all over the city. In order to prevent a few people from escaping from the capital due to fear of evil spirits, he spread the rumors more and more widely, he ordered the city gate guards to guard the city gates and not to release people out of the capital.

The Minister of Works and his officials were urgently involved in the water transfer fortifications. The Imperial Hospital also sent five imperial physicians with excellent medical skills to go to the moat with Zhou Yun to investigate the water quality.

When approaching the palace gate, a large inner guard suddenly ran out from the side, stopped Zhou Yun's carriage, and whispered: "Prince Xian Rong, Marquis Anguo, please take care of yourself when you go! Even if it is urgent, don't walk on the path!"
