After tossing for most of the night, the Empress Dowager Zhang finally lay down, and Gonggong Li came to report again: "The Empress Dowager, the guards asked to see her, saying that there was the whereabouts of the assassin." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"Then go and arrest it!"

Just looking for such an assassin, it turned out to be tossed all night, and Empress Dowager Zhang was extremely disappointed with the efficiency of the guards. There's no patience to speak at this time.

Who knew that Li Gonggong refused to leave there, he only glanced at the figure in the curtain with his eyes closed, and said slowly: "Queen Mother, the guards also said... The Assassin... It's Tao Gong, but now Tao Gong is not in the Morning Palace, they asked the slave if Tao Gong is here with you, and the slave said no..."

Now Tao Gong's whereabouts are unknown.

The Praetorian Guards felt that the murderer was most likely this person.

All the places were searched, the palace maids and eunuchs were also asked, and even the cells were turned upside down, but there were no clues at all.

They felt that there was only one possibility that made sense at the moment, that is, this person had been wandering around the morning palace all along, and he had openly hidden everyone's eyes.

Because he is a craftsman, he can go in and out of any place at will, and he has even been approved by the Queen Mother, so who else can the murderer be besides him?

Otherwise, who would have been able to kill three more people in a row while avoiding their meticulous search? Isn't it enough to say that he was absent at the time of their death?

However, when Empress Dowager Zhang heard this result, she was furious, this is simply nonsense!

Empress Dowager Zhang was so angry that she almost didn't mention it in one breath. The palace maid was suddenly in a mess, and Aunt Yun Yao was smoothing her chest for Empress Dowager Zhang, and at the same time instructed the palace maid to go to the imperial doctor quickly.

She made up her mind, and quickly turned over and collapsed, and Tao Gong became an assassin!

Empress Dowager Zhang was preoccupied, and waved away Aunt Yun Yao with a tired face, and said, "The mourning family's body The mourning family knows it, you go down first, as for Imperial Doctor Huang, let him come in in the morning." ”

Aunt Yun Yao answered yes and led the palace maid out.

Gonggong Li turned sideways and cautiously followed behind Empress Dowager Zhang.

Several black-clothed men were standing in the hall, "The Queen Mother is angry, her subordinates think that the assassin who escaped is this person named Tao Gong." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang pursed her lips, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, she couldn't bear it anymore, and scolded in a low voice: "Confused! How could he be an assassin, he spent so much effort to enter the palace to join the mourning family, is it just to kill three inconsequential people? Do you think the mourning family is a three-year-old child?"

Several men in black were stunned.

Empress Dowager Zhang took a deep breath and said, "You are the most powerful guards of the Mourning family, and your mind and martial arts are all first-class, how can you make such a foolish mistake!"

The leader's originally fierce face showed a hint of helplessness. He hung his head weakly, since the Empress Dowager said that Tao Gong was not an assassin, where did he go?

Empress Dowager Zhang also thought of this problem, her eyes narrowed dangerously, and she had a bad warning in her heart.

At this time, another guard outside came to report: "Empress Dowager Qi, the craftsman of the Morning Palace found a pool of blood......"

Empress Dowager Zhang's heart was alarmed, and she immediately said, "Go and have a look!"

At the same moment, the sky was already showing the whiteness of the fish's belly. On the Qinzheng Palace, General Feng was reporting on the situation outside: "I heard that there was an unknown pool of blood in the Morning Palace, and now Empress Dowager Zhang is rushing over with people......"

Su Xin pondered for a moment and muttered, this Tao Gong is nothing more than a craftsman, there are so many craftsmen in the world, why should Empress Dowager Zhang do everything herself? General Feng stood aside, secretly glanced at Mama Tan, who was not far from Su Xin, and was silent without speaking.

There are some things that the emperor doesn't know. In addition, Su Xin missed too many opportunities, and he didn't want him to miss them again and again.

If he hadn't told the emperor before, while those guards didn't come, maybe ...... At this moment, the Queen Mother has already died at his hands

However, because of his ignorance and the emperor's indecision, they missed an opportunity to rewrite the fate of the dynasty in vain!

On the other side, Empress Dowager Zhang rushed to the morning palace, and at this time, the craftsmen knelt on the ground in fear.

Everyone walked in, and under the guidance of a man in black, they came to the side of the shelf, and saw a pool of blood dripping on the shelf, which was dripping down the edge of the shelf!

And when they looked up again, they saw a terrible scene.

“......”

Empress Dowager Zhang retracted her gaze, looked at the blood stains that flowed to the ground, covered her mouth and nose with the handkerchief in her hand, and asked, "When did this happen?"

Among the people who knelt on the ground, Wang Tou kowtowed and said in a deep voice: "Queen Mother, the villain just found out." Empress Dowager Zhang's face turned pale, and she thought in her heart that the blood was soaking the beams of the house, and it seemed that this person had been dead for a while......

Nine times out of ten, it's Tao Gong...

She felt a pain in her heart, it was the last chess piece she used to bring down King Pei's Mansion, but now she has become a dead man! What did she use to cure the sin of King Pei's Mansion?

Is it just those forged letters? Cruelty to the descendants of the royal family, I am afraid that Lord Zheng will not agree!

She grabbed the handkerchief in her hand, stared at the blood viciously, gritted her teeth and said, "Go, bring the body down!" Empress Dowager Zhang said, then turned around and said: "You go to the cell again... Bring Liao Ying to the mourning family. ”

"Yes!"

A team went to the cell to take Liao Ying into custody, and a team of people removed the entire heavy eaves from the roof.

The leader of the group widened his eyes, looking at the two hollowed-out gaps and the plank that had been put in place in disbelief, and he suffocated his chest and viciously stomped the plank under his feet!

He regretted that he hadn't gone back and looked up again? What bastard had dared to play with him? He swore that he would crush this man to ashes in the future.

The corpse was carried down and placed in the open space outside the temple, covered with a white cloth, his eyes were closed, the blood on his body had been drained, and even because of the high temperature and the sultry weather, the corpse had developed a slight sour smell.

The autopsy turned out that the murderer had cut half of his neck with a knife, and the time of death was about three watches. Fortunately, the murderer's wound was large and the blood flowed quickly, which led to the deceased being found quickly, otherwise this kind of hot weather would have been stuffy on the eaves for two days, and the picture was really unimaginable.

The leader pinched two planks and stepped forward, saying, "Queen Mother, the murderer cut two planks, one on the outside and one on the inside. "What's even more hateful is that he actually hid the body in it!

"The mourning family knows, it seems that ...... The murderer went straight to him. ”

Empress Dowager Zhang said, and the leader was stunned.

He didn't know that Tao Gong was bribed by Lu Pin, and the matter had always been handed over to Li Hongliang by Empress Dowager Zhang. He thought that these assassins were going for the Queen Mother.
