Xin Ran and Chen Wenduan were shocked when they heard that someone had been killed again, and they all asked in unison: Is there another murder there?"

The officer replied: "It is the courtyard where Lord Sun Jinnan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who was killed last time, lived, and the one who was killed this time is Lord Xia Zhenxia of the Imperial Forest Army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info“

Hearing that Xia Zhen died, the two of them were very surprised, so they didn't bother to eat, so they followed this officer of the Royal Forest Army directly to the room where Xia Zhen lived.

Walking into the room, I saw Shi Miyuan sitting in the room, and when he saw Xin Ran and Chen Wenduan coming in, he waved his hand, pointed to the bed in the room and said, "You two are here, hurry up and take a look." “

The two walked to the bed, and Xin Ran came to the bed, only to see that Xia Zhen's face was black, the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and he was dead.

There was a pot of wine and a wine glass on the small table next to Xia Zhen's bed, and there was still a little residual wine in the glass, Xin Ran asked people to bring a silver needle and try it in the wine, only to see that the silver needle quickly turned black, Xin Ran and Chen Wenduan glanced at each other, and said in their hearts: "The wine is poisonous." “

Thinking of this, Xin Ran turned to Shi Miyuan and said, "Prime Minister, looking at this situation, Lord Xia died of poisoning. “

"What Xin Gongzi said is not wrong at all, Lord Xia was indeed poisoned and died, you can take a look at this letter. After finishing speaking, he handed Xin Ran a letter.

Xin Ran opened it and looked at it, the general meaning of the letter was that Xia Zhen said that he had a little conflict with Sun Jinnan and Lord Zhang Haishan in the past, and this time he lived in a courtyard and killed them when he had the opportunity, but after the killing, he felt regretful and uneasy, and he was sorry for the families of the two adults, so he committed suicide to apologize.

After Xin Ran read the letter, he asked Shi Miyuan: "Prime Minister, what do you think of this letter?" ”

Shi Miyuan glanced at Xin Ran and thought: This kid is now an old man.

Thinking of this, he snorted and said: "The old man has also read this letter, and the handwriting is indeed the handwriting of Lord Xia, but I don't believe that Lord Xia is the murderer of Lord Sun and Lord Zhang." ”

When Xin Ran heard Shi Miyuan say this, he said: " The prime minister has the same opinion as the next, in my understanding, Lord Xia is a military general, after a long war, it can be said that there will not be too few killings in his life, even if he kills them because he has a grudge against Lord Sun and Lord Zhang, he will not feel any uneasiness in his conscience because of this matter, besides, besides, the handwriting, although I have not seen the handwriting of Lord Xia, but I always feel that this handwriting seems to have a little feminine atmosphere, and the handwriting of people who practice martial arts seems to be a little different, I don't know what the Prime Minister thinks?"

Hearing Xin Ran say this, Shi Miyuan took the letter from Xin Ran again, thought about it carefully, and then said to Xin Ran: "Xin Gongzi is really extraordinary, he looks more carefully than the old man, and the handwriting of this letter does lack the masculinity of Lord Xia's handwriting, so it is true that as Xin Gongzi said, this letter was forged by someone."

"This person did this time, probably because he wanted to blame Lord Xia for the murder, and then let himself get away with it. Chen Wenduan said.

Hearing Shi Miyuan and Chen Wenduan's analysis, Xin Ran didn't speak again, but fell into deep thought, thinking: From Sun Jinnan, Zhang Haishan to Xia Zhen, three people were killed one after another, and there was a common secret between these three people in the past, and this murderer was also related to the secrets of the three murdered people in the past;

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have an idea, so he asked Shi Miyuan: "Prime Minister, this Lord Xia is dead, who else knows except the three of us?"

Shi Miyuan replied: "Because it was night, it didn't alarm more people, at present, except for the three of us, only the officer of the Royal Forest Army who went to invite you knew, because he had something to ask Lord Xia tonight, so he came to Lord Xia's room, but when he arrived, he found that Lord Xia was dead, and the officer of the Royal Forest Army was frightened, so he hurriedly came to tell the old man, and the old man only came here with this officer of the Royal Forest Army." ”

Xin Ran said: "It's easy to do, please send two officers of the Imperial Forest Army to guard the door in a while, and then let people go around the palace to say that although Lord Xia has drunk poisonous wine, he has been rescued, according to my estimate, if the murderer hears that Lord Xia is not dead, he will definitely come to assassinate Lord Xia again, and then I will ambush in this house, as long as this murderer shows up, we will capture him." ’“

"That's a good idea, so let's do it. Shi Miyuan said.

Chen Wenduan continued: "The idea is good, but there are fewer people in the house ambushed by Xin Gongzi alone, I think Master Gao is good, so he will ambush the house with you, so it will be more secure." ”

"Okay, just do as you say, and I'll have someone inform Master Gao to go where you are looking for you. Shi Miyuan said.

The three of them had finished discussing and had nothing else to do, so they took their own leave and went their separate ways.

Xin Ran and Chen Wenduan returned to the house, because they were too tired, they didn't eat anymore, and they fell asleep when they returned to the house.

In the afternoon of the next day, Gao Yifei came to the room of the two

Seeing Gao Yifei coming to the house, Chen Wenduan said: "Brother Gao Shi, you and Brother Xin will have to work hard again at night. ”

Gao Yifei hurriedly said: "Where, where, it is my honor to be able to cooperate with Brother Xin. “

The three of them were polite, so they discussed the countermeasures for the next night, and in the evening, Xin Ran and Gao Yifei started light work and went straight to the room where Xia Zhen lived.

Xin Ran and Gao Yifei knew that there were guards from the Imperial Forest Army arranged by Shi Miyuan at the door of the room, so they jumped into the room through the window at the back of the room.

Gao Yifei moved Xia Zhen's body from the bed to the bottom of the bed, let Xin Ran lie down on the bed, and sat cross-legged behind the screen behind the bed, waiting for the murderer to come again.

About five watches, I only heard two plops outside, as if someone had fallen to the ground, and then the door of the room was gently pushed open, only to see a black-clothed masked man quietly walked to Xin Ran's bed, pulled out a cold dagger and stabbed Xin Ran.

Xin Ran felt the cold wind from the dagger, hurriedly condensed his luck, and started the kung fu of the acupuncture point in the air, and stretched out his finger to point at the masked man's chest acupoint.

The masked man didn't expect that the person on the bed would fight back, and he was caught off guard, and the acupoint was suddenly hit by Xin Ran.

Because the big hole was lit, the masked man fell to the ground at once.

So at the same time, Xin Ran had already jumped up, and Gao Yifei also lit the lights in the room.

The two walked up to the masked man, Xin Ran tore open the masked man's face scarf, and looked at it through the light, and the two couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
