readx;? Zheng Ze held his breath, jumped away from the white smoke, and when he looked up again, the shadow of the person was no longer visible. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The patrol also arrived at this time.

He sighed in annoyance, put the knife into its sheath, took a lantern from the patrolman's hand, and shone it on the two black shadows lying on the ground, his pupils shrinking sharply.

The two people lying on the ground, their eyes and ears were dripping with blood, almost exactly the same as the death of those mountain bandits on Huailiang Mountain half a year ago.

He quickly reached out and removed the black scarf that the two men were covering their faces, and sure enough, there were blood stains oozing from their mouths and noses.

Zheng Ze's face was slightly pale, so to speak, those bandits on the mountain were really killed by that person just now?

With his martial arts ability to kill all the mountain bandits in just a few breaths, if he really wanted to assassinate the emperor, he would never back down because he met him.

Venture to the emperor's palace in the middle of the night but it is not an assassination, so what are you here to do?

Could it be that he was really just passing by today?

Zheng Ze waved his hand for the patrol guard to carry the person down, holding the saber on his waist and thinking to himself, after a few seconds, he raised his head suddenly, "Come on, follow me to the Treasure Pavilion to have a look!"

"Cut, it turned out to be the East China Sea Golden Pearl!" Lixiao in the Treasure Pavilion clutched his head in bursting pain, and in disappointment, pulled out the plum-sized bead from the yellow brocade box, and threw it behind him.

Sky Fox hooked his tail and put the bead into his mouth, grunted, and swallowed it with his head up. The East China Sea Golden Bead is made of a Breehnling mussel, and it would be too wasteful to throw it away, but it is better to eat it.

"Your Highness, someone is coming. Sky Fox's ears moved, and he quickly rushed to Lixiao's side.

"Tsk, that guy is a dog, he won't let go if he bites it. Li Xiao glanced angrily at the guy in a unicorn suit outside the window, and sat on the sky fox with his head covered, "Xueyi, let's go." ”

Sky Fox: ..................

Foxes are canines, humans are not!

Zheng Ze's gaze swept over the few guards who had fainted at the bottom of the steps, and he waved his hand to let the guards behind him surround the Treasure Pavilion, and he rushed in with a group of people.

The people in the Treasure Pavilion went to the empty building, and the guards took the two eunuchs to search the Treasure Pavilion carefully, and then told Zheng Ze that all the organs in the Treasure Pavilion were intact, and most of the items were also there, only a treasure bead offered by King Dongli last year was missing.

Orbs?

Zheng lowered his eyelashes, and the flickering candle flame cast a few faint shadows on his unicorn suit. If he remembered correctly, the hundred or so boxes of property that had been placed in the inn that had been cleared from the bandits' den had disappeared, and after the man had disappeared, a pearl of the night had disappeared.

In this way, the target of this guy with extremely high martial arts is Baozhu?

On August 16, when the full moon was shining, a horrific bloody case occurred in the imperial city.

More than 50 people in the mansion of Huang Lang, the right attendant of the ministry, all died overnight, and the death was miserable. Only the lady-in-waiting, who took her youngest son home to save her family, and the maid around her survived.

When this matter reached the palace, Emperor Zhengcheng couldn't help but be furious, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how could Xiaoxiao be so arrogant, and ordered the Criminal Department and Jinyiwei to solve the case as soon as possible within five days.

Zheng Ze happened to be on duty the night before, and just after returning home to sleep, he was woken up by Lin Qizhang who rushed into the door.

"My lord, something is wrong. Lin Qizhang rushed into Zheng Ze's room in a hurry, and Dong Heng outside the door stomped his feet in annoyance, so he had to follow the door.

Zheng Ze's father is a household secretary, and his sister Zheng Guifei is also rightfully favored, and the Zheng family is also in full swing, but Zheng Ze is not arrogant and extravagant. He usually behaves in a low-key manner, and even rents a small courtyard two streets away from Fusi in Beizhen for the convenience of duty, and there is only an old servant who guards the door and a servant woman who does miscellaneous things such as pulp washing on weekdays, so naturally no one can stop Lin Qizhang.

"It's okay, you go out first. Zheng Ze nodded at the old servant who couldn't stop him and had to follow the two of them, and then looked at Lin Qizhang and Dong Heng, "What's going on?"

Lin Qizhang saw the snow-white undershirt on Zheng Ze's body, and he also regretted his recklessness a little, and paused, before gritting his teeth and saying, "My lord, Huang Shilang of the Ministry of Officials was killed last night. ”

"A total of fifty-one people died, and it is estimated that when we go back later, the will of the higher authorities to ask for supervision should arrive. Dong Heng added.

Zheng Ze is not only their leader, but also their backbone, this kind of tragedy happens, Jinyiwei's side is bound to be unable to stay out of the matter, so they hurriedly ran to Zheng Ze to get an idea as soon as they got the news.

Hearing their words, Zheng Ze was also a little surprised, and froze for a moment before getting up and dressing, "Is there any other news?"

"It is said that the people of Huangfu died in a terrible state, bleeding from the seven orifices. Dong Heng spoke again.

"Seven orifices bleed?" Zheng Ze's fingers on the neckline paused slightly, and someone's shadow immediately jumped out in front of him.

Sure enough, when the three of them hurried back to Beizhen Fusi, the will of the upper authorities had been delivered, and Zheng Ze immediately gathered his manpower and hurried to Huangfu.

The officials who were in charge of guarding the periphery at the scene naturally did not dare to stop Zheng Ze and them, so they quickly gave way.

Zheng Ze waved his hand, Dong Heng led the two people to the neighbor next to him to inquire, and the others followed Zheng Ze into the Huang Mansion.

The smell of blood came to his face, and within a few steps of entering the gate, there were several corpses lying horizontally, looking at their clothes, they should all be servants of the Yellow Mansion.

Except for the dirty and blue blood stains flowing from the seven orifices, the clothes on those people were all somewhat torn, but there were no obvious fatal wounds.

"Qi Zhang, go and ask the official if there are any valuable jewels in the Huang Mansion. Zheng instructed Lin Qizhang.

"Jewelry?" Lin Qizhang scratched his head suspiciously, turned around and left.

An hour and a half later, Zheng Zecai led people out of the Yellow Mansion, and there was still no clue about the matter.

When passing by Yunlai Building, Zheng suddenly saw a familiar figure sitting in the window seat on the second floor.

"Why is that surnamed Huang so unlucky, at least live one more day!" Li Xiao sat on the window on the second floor of Yunlai Restaurant, looked at the direction of Huangfu depressed, picked up the cup and drank it all.

One more day to live, and you will be able to sneak in and look for beads without you knowing. It's good now, there are officials everywhere, and it's too difficult to find a chance to sneak in.

Tianhu, who looked like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old delicate girl next to him, couldn't help but pout when he heard this, Your Highness, if you hadn't been accustomed to getting lost, you should have been able to get to the Yellow Mansion two days ago, okay?

"Long time no see. Zheng Ze lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down on the opposite side of Xiao.

Lin Qizhang and Dong Heng stood downstairs in Yunlai Building and looked up frequently, not understanding why their adults were still in the mood to go up to their friends for a drink at this time.

"Why are you here?" Seeing Zheng Ze, Li Xiao reflexively had a headache, no way, the two times when the pain was the worst, I saw this little white face every time.

"You also killed the people in the Huang Mansion, right?" Zheng Ze unceremoniously picked up the wine jug on the table and poured himself a glass.

Tianhu blinked his beautiful and smart eyes, looked at Zheng Ze, and then looked at Li Xiao without speaking.

"Nonsense. ”

"The fifty-one people in the Huang Mansion all bled to death," Zheng Ze played with the thick white porcelain wine glass in front of him with his slender fingers, and said unhurriedly, "The death is almost exactly the same as those mountain bandits in Huailiang Mountain and the assassins killed by you in the palace." ”

"So what? I didn't kill people anyway. Li Xiao didn't care and raised his eyebrows.

"This article alone is enough for me to publish your sea fishing documents throughout the country, and from then on, you will not be able to move an inch in the thirty-five provinces of my good country. ”

"You dare!" Lixiao slapped his palm on the table, and the loud noise made the people around him look at him.

"Look at it!" Li Xiao's eyes narrowed, and everyone quickly turned back again.

"You have no evidence at all!"

Zheng Ze smiled faintly, and his tone was quite scoundrel, "Jin Yiwei is handling the case, what evidence do you want and can't find it?"

Li Xiao snorted coldly, "Who is the big man in the Han Dynasty, the internal and external Hou Guan of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the bad people of the Tang Dynasty, and then to you, the brocade guard, the little dog leg is becoming more and more arrogant, believe it or not, I will kill you immediately?"

"I'm afraid it's not just the sea fishing paperwork. Zheng Ze was not afraid at all.

Lixiao: ..................

"Unless......" Zheng Ze's eyes lifted slightly, "you can prove your innocence." ”

Sky Fox blinked his big black and white eyes, "You mean, let's hand over the real murderer?" "It's not a difficult task for them to catch the murderer, but if it doesn't work, you can also ask His Highness to find the underworld to check the lives of those ghosts, the cause of death is naturally clear, but why do you want to help this human being?"

Zheng Ze nodded, "If you can prove that you didn't do it, then I will not only apologize to you, but also present the Huangfu bead as an apology." ”

"You said you could send me?" Lixiao looked at him suspiciously. It's a lot easier to do.

"My name is Zheng Ze, I live at No. 23 Liuye Lane, if I break my promise, you can come to my house at any time to take my life. Zheng spread his hands.

Li Xiao lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said to Zheng Ze, "Deal, but I have a question, how do you know that I want that bead?"

"It was just a guess. Zheng Ze slyly curled the corners of his lips, "Now it's confirmed." ”

Lixiao: ..................

Three days later, Zheng Ze got up early in the morning and just pushed open the door of the house, a huge black shadow fell from the sky.

He turned sideways to avoid it, and a giant snake with the thickness of a bowl fell into the courtyard, and the giant snake turned over, flicked its tail fiercely, and smashed down the osmanthus tree in the courtyard, and the servant woman who was drying her clothes was almost frightened.

Li Xiao sat proudly on the roof, "Boy, the murderer of the Yellow Mansion has been handed over to you, and it depends on you whether you can lower it or not." ”

"Snake?" Zheng looked up at the Lixiao on the ridge.

Li Xiao raised his chin, "The people of the Huangfu killed its offspring and used it to cook soup, so they were killed by it." ”

At this time, the giant snake had already opened its mouth to bite Zheng Ze, and a fishy smell immediately came from the air.

"It's a seven-hundred-year-old snake demon. Li Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at Zheng Ze, with an expression that you beg Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will help you get this snake.

"Oh. Zheng Ze nodded suddenly in realization, jumped up, took out a yellow rune paper from his arms, and threw it on the forehead of the giant snake.

The serpent stiffened and fell to the ground.

Zheng Ze fell to the ground, patted the dust on the corner of his robe, and sighed loudly, "I didn't expect the demon slaying talisman of those guys in the evil temple to be quite effective." ”

Lixiao: ..................
