On the day of the beginning of winter, after accumulating for more than half a month, the dark clouds that had piled up all over the sky suddenly tore open a mouth, and a round of red sun popped out of it without warning. The clouds have not receded, but the red sun seems to be soaked in blood, so bright that it is almost demonic, and the sun shines on the rows of vermilion lacquer pillars in Jingfu, which makes people dizzy.

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!" Jing Zhong stood under the eaves, glanced at Liyuan, and shook his head slightly.

Liyuan is a place specially used by Jingfu for guests to rest, since the death of Jinggong, Liyuan has not lived in two years, but today suddenly ushered in a distinguished guest - the Yuyao county lord of Zhennan Wangfu.

However, Jingfu had no contact with the Zhennan Wangfu, and he had dealings with the Zhennan King when he was in southern Xinjiang for thirty years. But for so many years, he had never heard Jing Gong mention the King of Zhennan, and today the county lord of Yuyao suddenly came to visit, and proposed to worship Jing Gong tomorrow, so he really couldn't figure out what it meant.

Could it be that his brothers and uncles have been secretly dealing with King Zhennan all these years? Or is this a move that Jing Gong buried before his death?

Can't guess!

Not long after he sat in the position of being a family member, he still had some things under full control inside and out, and the hearts of the people up and down had not been completely subdued.

"Second master, the old lady has already asked people to pass the meal. Seeing that he had stood still for a long time, Wu Xing, the chief next to him, came over to remind him.

Today is the seventieth birthday of the second old lady, because Jing Gong passed away less than three years ago, there was no banquet in the house, but the whole house still has to eat a few tables together, not to mention that there is one more distinguished guest today.

Jing Zhong retracted his gaze and went down the steps with his hands, but just after taking two steps, he saw his wife coming from the front with a anxious face, and before the person came to him, he had already panicked and said: "Second master, it's not good!

Jing Zhong's heart jumped suddenly, and when Yao approached, he frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yao's face turned pale and said in a trembling voice: "County Lord, County Lord is dead!"

Jing Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Yao's breathlessness was short: "It's true, I, I've seen it myself, it's true!"

Jing Zhong stared at Yao Shi and lowered his voice: "How can a good person ...... What the hell is going on?"

Yao said nervously and helplessly: "The county lord talked to the old lady for a while in the afternoon, and then went to Liyuan to rest. As soon as the old lady passed the meal, I went to Liyuan to invite someone, but I didn't know how the maids screamed and couldn't wake up, and then I heard crying from the house. I'll go in and take a look...... People are lying on the bed well, but unexpectedly, they are not breathing, and their hands and face are also cold, second master, I don't know how, you say this, how can this be good......"

Jing Zhong didn't wait for Yao to finish speaking, he had already rushed to Liyuan: "You don't watch there when such a thing happens, what do those subordinates know, in case something comes out, are you simply-have you asked people to ask for a doctor? What about the people around the county lord? Have you asked, did the county lord have any hidden diseases?"

"I've asked people to quietly ask for a doctor, I'm afraid that the maids won't be able to say clearly, so I let Mama Wang watch there, the maids brought by the county lord were frightened, and they didn't ask anything, and they didn't say that the county lord had any discomfort before. Yao Shi said while following Jing Zhong, "Second master, rest assured, the house has been much cleaner in the past two years, and there are no idle people in Liyuan, just a few maids, I let Mama Wang watch it." ”

Jing Zhong asked with a gloomy face, "Do you know about the guards brought by the county lord?"

"I shouldn't know yet, they all live in the front yard, the maids in the Li Garden are watched, and the things in the backyard don't pass so quickly, and the old lady probably doesn't know about it yet. ”

Jing Zhong's face did not slow down by half a minute, his steps became more and more urgent, and he couldn't help but pray in his heart - no matter what, the county lord can't do anything in Jing Mansion, it must, tens of millions, nothing can happen!

However, God did not hear his prayer.

The county lord of Yuyao died in Jingfu!

The most favored county lord of the king of Zhennan, just arrived in Chang'an, he died in Jingfu for no reason, and when he died, there was no wound on his body, and there was no trace of poisoning.

Such news can't be hidden, and it is impossible to hide it, so Jingfu reported it to the official on the same day.

As a result, all kinds of news and speculation about this murder quickly spread outward with Jingfu as the center, burning like wildfire.

How did Lord Yuyao die?

Why did you die in Jingfu?

Who is the murderer?

Who has such guts?

Who has such a great ability?

Zhennan Wang Luo Mingshan was originally the lord of southern Xinjiang, has always been a confidant of the imperial court, twenty years ago after the official submission of the imperial court, the saint named him the king, awarded the golden seal. As a result, the Tang army entered southern Xinjiang and stabilized the southern border.

Right now-

Who can be held accountable for this?

If Jingfu can't hand over the murderer and give an explanation to King Zhennan as soon as possible, what kind of actions will King Zhennan make?

Jing Zhong didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

……

"At the latest, the people sent by the king of Zhennan will arrive in Chang'an. Wu Xing stood with his head down, bent down slightly, and said cautiously, "Second master, what should I do now?"

It's been seven days, and the people in the government can't find out anything, and because of the special identity of the county lord, an autopsy can't be conducted. And now that the body of the county lord is still in Liyuan, pressure from all sides is coming one after another, and there are rumors in the palace that we must find out, otherwise-

Otherwise, there is no specific afterword, but it is even more terrifying.

Now the people in the mansion are panicking, all the courtyards are closed doors and windows, and no one dares to go to Liyuan, even if the people pass by, they are far away.

Jing Zhong took the teacup in his hand and squeezed it vigorously: "Where is Jing Xiao?"

Jing Xiao is his nephew, when the eldest prince of Jingyan went out for several years and did not return, even Jing Gong was seriously ill and did not come back, and the house speculated that the eldest prince was out of the field and could not come back. As a last resort, Jing Gong pointed out the position of the family member to Jing Xiao before he died, but Jing Xiao was only fifteen years old after all, and Jing Gong was seriously ill as soon as he passed away, and he lay in bed for several months, so the position of the family fell into his hands.

Wu Xing said: "The third young master is out." ”

Jing Zhong raised his bloodshot eyes: "Go out, where are you going?"

"The third young master went out before dawn, and he didn't tell others where he was going, and when he went out, he brought a small guy with him. Wu Xing said this, and lowered his voice a little, "The old slave guessed, maybe he went to the Changxiang Hall to find the one from the Tianshu Palace." ”

"What! What can he do there, what if someone sees him! He doesn't know that those people from southern Xinjiang are in the mansion, always waiting to see what mess we can make, so that they can grasp some tricks!" Jing Zhong slammed the teacup on the table, stood up, and paced back and forth in the room anxiously, "What are the people who follow Jing Xiao doing, I don't know how to stop them?!"

On the morning of the death of the lord of Yuyao County, the An Da Xiangshi of the Tianshu Hall was in Jingfu, fortunately, An Da Xiangshi came privately at that time, and the people of Southern Xinjiang did not know about it, otherwise Jingfu would be more difficult to do at this time.

Jing Zhong walked out of the house with a calm face, raised his head, and looked at the hazy green mountains in the distance, which was the Dayan Mountain, where the Changxiang Hall was located.

Turning over the history of the Tang Kingdom, and even going back to several dynasties before the Tang Dynasty, they will find that in those books that have been yellowed and even dilapidated, the time recorded by a few pens has more or less left the shadow of the Changxiang Palace, and the peerless elegance of the great incense masters.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the mountain is always covered with a veil of mystery, and the people in the incense hall all carry a layer of mysterious atmosphere, and the great incense master in the incense hall is a kind of existence outside the red world.

But in fact, the relationship between Changxiang Hall and the world has never been separated.

The seven incense halls have their own family backgrounds and their own spheres of influence.

Since Jing Gong, Jing Mansion and Tianshu Hall have been interdependent, and An Da Xiangshi is the daughter-in-law selected by Jing Gong for Jing Yan's eldest son before his death.

Although the relationship between Jingfu and Tianshu Hall is no longer as close as when Jing Gong was alive, and since the disappearance of the eldest prince of Jingyan, the relationship between An Da Xiangshi and Jing Fu has gradually become estranged, but in the eyes of outsiders, Jing Mansion, Tianshu Palace, and An Da Xiangshi, the three are still one.

And the world thinks that the great incense master is the one above the clouds, and they are omnipotent. If you want a person to die silently, for the Great Incense Master, it is just a matter of thought.

Therefore, with the relationship between Jingfu and An Daxiangshi, the more the reason for the death of the county lord of Yuyao cannot be found out, the more the big guy will think in that direction in his heart, but because of the transcendent status of the great incense master, and there is no evidence, no one dares to say it for the time being.

But if the government can't find out anything, the Jing government won't give an explanation, and it will take a long time...... Maybe there is some kind of chaos, and those people in southern Xinjiang are not good at it.

Jing Zhong paced back and forth in place, trying to give something a few times, but opened his mouth and closed it again.

The most important reason why he has not been able to fully sit in the position of being a family member is that he has not really been recognized by the Great Incense Master of the Tianshu Palace.

Changxiang Palace, the Great Incense Master......

The fact that Master An Da Xiang had come to Jingfu that day must not be said!

In any case, it is a day to be able to hold it down!

Jing Zhong emphasized to Wu Xing again, his expression was a little hideous, and Wu Xing nodded hurriedly: "The old slave understands, and he will never dare to reveal a word." ”

If this matter is known to the people of southern Xinjiang, then regardless of whether An Da Xiangshi has a motive to kill the county lord of Yuyao, they will believe that Jingfu and An Daxiang are the murderers who killed the county lord of Yuyao.

Taking a step back, even if this matter is really done by Master An Da Xiang, as long as Master An Da Xiang wants to clean it up, it is not difficult, but for Jing Fu, it is really a catastrophe.

Jing Zhong's face was gloomy, and he said to himself: "Why is it the king of Zhennan!"

If it was another prince, with respect for the Changxiang Palace and admiration for the Great Incense Master, he secretly maneuvered, and there may be room for negotiation, but the King of Zhennan is absolutely impossible, it is a bloodthirsty wolf, and even Jing Gong is unwilling to deal with it.
