"It's Xijiang!" exclaimed an official.

"Yes, the two princes held a banquet to entertain the envoys of Xijiang before, and I took a look from afar, and this person was following King Xijiang Gong at that time. ”

The dead person is from Xijiang, and this matter will be difficult to do.

The officials quickly reported the situation.

Shuntian Mansion Yin has been concurrently served by Yang Yunzhi, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, for many years, and after getting the news, the gray-haired Yang Yunzhi almost fainted.

He's a man who is about to become a man, why would he encounter such a tricky matter? Can't he be a quiet servant of the criminal department?

Yang Yunzhi did not hesitate, and sent a letter to the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department in the dark.

Kou Xing, the secretary of the criminal department, got up with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, stepped on his feet in the dark and almost tripped over.

"Sir, slow down. What a big deal, the sky can't fall. Old Mrs. Xue counted a sentence.

Kou Xing stomped his feet: "The sky can't fall, but this thing is terrible." Okay, I won't tell you, you can sleep well, I'm going to rush to the yamen. ”

Kou Xing entered the yamen of the Criminal Department with a cold air, and the yamen of the Criminal Department was brightly lit, and Yang Yunzhi, the waiter of the Criminal Department, and others had been waiting for a long time.

"My lord—"

Kou Xing entered the room with a calm face: "What the hell is going on?"

"The warrior of Xijiang died on the street, and was found by the beaters in the middle of the night, which alarmed the neighbors at that time, so the news has spread. ”

"How did you die?"

"The initial investigation is that he died of a throat cut, and now he is undergoing further examination. ”

Kou Xing sat down on the Taishi chair and closed his eyes.

"Your Excellency?"

Kou Xing waved his hand: "If you should be busy, go and get busy, let's talk about it at dawn." ”

He rushed to the yamen overnight, his posture was already sufficient, and he couldn't do anything about the rest, so he could check how he wanted.

At the beginning of the morning, Kou Xing opened his eyes and instructed his subordinates: "Go and invite the prefects of the Duchayuan and Dali Temple." ”

The only advantage of the emperor not going to court is that they don't have to go to court anymore, as long as they have nothing to sleep until three poles in the sun, no one cares.

It didn't take long for Zhang Siqing and Zuo Du Yushi to rush over, and they sighed again and again when they saw Kou Xingze's face.

"Don't sigh, let's discuss. Kou Xing slept full, but he seemed full of energy.

"What else are you discussing, I can't hide this matter, tell Honglu Siqing as soon as possible, and let him talk to the Xijiang envoy first. This person who killed in the middle of the night, how can the murderer be so easy to find. ”

Kou Xing's eyes flashed: "Lord Liu is right, this murderer is not easy to investigate, maybe there are clues on the envoy side of Xijiang." ”

The third watch of Xijiang who killed a thousand knives didn't stay in the house well in the middle of the night, so he had to wear a night suit and run out, if he wanted to say that King Xijiang Gong didn't know anything, there was a ghost.

Honglu Siqing almost cried after getting the news, and went to inform King Xijiang Gong.

"You mean Hua Sheng is dead?" King Xijiang Gong's face turned blue after hearing the news.

In the past few days, he has been sending Hua Sheng to keep an eye on Loei, but he couldn't wait for the little girl to go out, so he had no choice but to order Hua Sheng to sneak into Loei at night to find out the situation.

Hua Sheng didn't come back for a long time, he already had a bad premonition in his heart, he didn't expect Hua Sheng to die!

"Where is his body? ”

"Lord Wang, please come with me. ”

The two walked to the door, and Princess Xijiang came over: "Brother Wang, what's wrong?"

"Something happened to Huasheng, I'll take a look. ”

Seeing King Xijiang Gong staggering by, Princess Xijiang shouted: "Brother Wang, I'll go too." ”

King Xijiang Gong paused and nodded.

Hua Sheng's body was placed in the morgue of the Yamen of the Criminal Department.

At this time, the morgue is cold and gloomy, and as soon as one walks in, a layer of goosebumps appears on one's arms, and a stale smell goes straight to the nostrils.

Even though a group of people poured into the morgue, Honglu Siqing still felt uncomfortable, and quietly retreated a few steps while people were not paying attention, and unexpectedly found that Princess Xijiang had a calm face.

Honglu Siqing was quite surprised.

It's strange that this delicate-looking princess Xijiang is so bold.

He suppressed his surprise and began to listen to King Xi Jiang Gong's questioning: "Who found Hua Sheng's body? Lord Zhang, we came to Daliang to pay tribute, and we paid tribute to Daliang is a state of etiquette, but this is how you treat us envoys? Huasheng actually died by someone cutting his throat, with Huasheng's skills, this is by no means an ordinary person's doing. Lord Zhang, you must give Xiao Wang an explanation today!"

Honglu Siqing secretly scolded her mother in her heart.

He is a person who entertains foreign guests, and he is not investigating cases, what can he explain?

"Don't worry, Lord Wang, the adults of our Three Law Divisions have been sleepless all night since the incident last night, and they are working hard to track down the murderer. ”

"Three Law Divisions?" King Xijiang Gong's gaze fell on Kou Xingze and the three of them.

Honglu Siqing hurriedly introduced: "This is Lord Shangshukou of the Criminal Department, this is Lord Liu of the Imperial History of Zuodu, and this is Lord Zhang of Dali Temple......"

King Xijiang Gong looked at Kou Xingze: "Kou Shangshu, I don't know if your department can find the murderer?"

Kou Xing said lightly: "If the prince finishes checking, can we go out and talk?"

He has old arms and legs, and he can't stand staying in this kind of place for a long time.

The crowd returned to the meeting room of the Yamen.

"Since the head of your three law divisions is here, you will definitely give Xiao Wang an explanation today!"

"Don't worry, we will investigate thoroughly. But there is a question I hope the prince can give me a solution, why did the warriors of your country die on the streets dressed like that?"

King Xijiang Gong froze for a moment, and glanced at Princess Xijiang.

This question is really difficult to answer, he can't say that he sent someone to visit the fiancée of the champion Hou at night.

"I have something to tell him to do. Princess Xijiang bit her lip and said.

Princess Xijiang's opening attracted everyone's attention.

"Sister Wang—" King Xijiang Gong suppressed the surprise in his heart and shouted.

"If my guess is correct, Huasheng was found on West Street, right?"

"Not bad. Kou Xing looked at Princess Xijiang suspiciously.

It's not surprising to say that the Xijiang warrior was sent by King Xijiang Gong, but how did this princess stand up?

"I've inquired before, there's an apricot alley on West Street, and Champion Hou's fiancée's family lives there, isn't it?"

After receiving an affirmative reply, Princess Xijiang suddenly saluted King Xijiang Gong: "Brother Wang, I'm sorry, I caused trouble." ”

"Sister Wang, why do you say that?"

Princess Xijiang was surprised: "At the banquet a few days ago, Miss Li won me, I was not convinced, and I was curious, I wanted to know why Miss Li was so powerful even younger than me, so I sent Hua Sheng to find out one or two, who knows——"

After listening to Princess Xijiang's words, Kou Xing and the others suddenly had their heads as big as a fight.

How is this linked to Champion Hou again?

"What does the princess mean, the death of the warriors of your country is related to the Li family?"
