Emperor Taijia sat on the chariot and said something with a solemn face.

He first said: "I □□ Shangbang, the ancient hospitable ......" praised Daxia fiercely, saying that we have always treated our friends with courtesy, even if the war is raging, we also show benevolence, and we are the most broad-minded country in the world.

He also said, "Today's events really hurt me. The envoy came from afar, with sincere intentions for my Great Xia, how could he unjustly die in the wilderness? I don't allow the people of Great Xia to be suspicious, and I don't want to see the snakes and rats deliberately set up a situation to affect the diplomatic relations between you and me...... This matter must be investigated! ”

The words are modest and beautiful, but in fact, the investigation of the case is stoned to death. You Yeluqi kept denouncing Daxia before, so let's find out about this matter, anyway, the body was also examined, and the scene was also recorded. If it turns out to be a crime committed by the Great Xia people, Emperor Taijia will not let it go, but if the mission itself is not sincere and conspires, don't blame me for being ruthless!

Of course, if other ethnic groups deliberately set up a situation to provoke them, Great Xia and Western Xia, as the recipients of the case, must be investigated to the end......

"What do you think?" After Emperor Taijia finished speaking, he asked Yeluqi for his opinion.

Emperor Taijia's posture is straight, his thin lips are slightly pursed, his phoenix eyes are sharp and majestic, and his bright yellow clothes are brilliant and shining under the sun.

Yeluqi's eyes were stabbed with some pain, and he lowered his head deeply, "But it's up to the emperor to decide." ”

Emperor Taijia has said everything, can he agree? Wouldn't if you don't agree to say that you are weak-hearted?

But their Western Xia is not a weak country, and they can't be bullied by others! If it weren't for the fact that there were two generations of Ping Kings in Great Xia, and each generation was stronger than the next, Western Xia would have broken the barriers and entered the Central Plains, which is picturesque, how can the Zhao family have a share?

After years of war, Great Xia resisted, and the treasury of Western Xia was empty, and it was no longer able to carry it, so it was intended to seek peace. But this is only temporary, and seeking peace now and not fighting does not mean that there will never be a war in the future!

He brought the delegation to Great Xia this time, firstly, to express his friendship to Great Xia on the order of the monarch, and secondly, to test it, to see what the national strength and financial resources of Great Xia were, so that they could have a bottom in their hearts.

Therefore, Yeluqi thinks that he is not a head shorter than Daxia, and he dares to toss, "It's just a month later, our mission will return, if you can, I hope the emperor can appoint a competent person, and it is best to solve the case within a month, if you can't solve it......"

He raised his head and smiled helplessly, "I can only ask the emperor to write to my monarch to inform me of this matter." ”

Since you, Emperor Taijia, have been saying that you are broad-minded to foreign missions and treat them with courtesy even in wartime, then if the Western Xia mission leaves according to the planned time, Great Xia will not be able to detain people. Moreover, it was their Western Xia people who died this time, and they did not hurt the Great Xia people at all, and there was no reason for Great Xia to stay.

If you can't find out by then, it's because you, the Great Xia people, don't give you time, write a letter to explain this matter to the monarch of Western Xia, and you will have less face-

This blatant provocation can be heard by anyone.

Great Xia is naturally angry, who does this barbarian look down on!

I don't know anything, you can't solve the case in a month, I think it's impossible to complete the task, but in my big summer, it's a matter of eating and drinking water, how can it be broken, it will definitely be solved, and it can be solved in advance!

Shen Wansha and Qu Jiu both clenched their fists to their chests, their expressions were excited, their eyes were like electricity, if it weren't for Emperor Taijia's palace, I'm afraid these two would be able to roar: A month is a month!

Emperor Taijia's fingertips tapped on the dragon chair, and his gaze slid to the lower left, "Ping Wang Zhao Zhu." ”

Zhao Zhu stepped forward and bowed, "The minister is here!" ”

"What do you think?"

"Within a month, the case will be solved!"

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, and you can do whatever you need during the period," Taijiadi said with a smile, "Don't let our friends down......

"The minister has never disappointed Xixia." Zhao Zhu's gaze swept obliquely towards Yeluqi, "Is it—Yeluqi?" ”

When Zhao Shu said this, his voice seemed to be covered with frost, Sen Sen's white teeth were exposed, and the tip of his tongue licked his lips intentionally or unintentionally-Yeluqi seemed to see the killing god who was chasing them for hundreds of miles across the border.

At that time, Zhao Zhu, the king of Ping, was like this, with a murderous aura in his eyes, the tip of his tongue licked the blood of the Tangut people splashed on his lips, and smiled slightly after tasting it...... Even the Hades seal in his throat seemed to be full of blood, glowing with a red and strange light!

Yeluqi didn't hold back, and took two steps back.

Seeing that the leader of the Western Xia delegation was so frightened by Zhao Zhu's eyes that he almost peed his pants, the Great Xia people were extremely excited, and Shen Wansha even jumped up and laughed, "Hahaha yes, King Ping has never disappointed the Western Xia people, and this time is the same!" ”

Oh, yes! Everyone remembered that King Ping had fought for so many years, won every battle, and the border line had moved far to the Tangut people...... But no one has ever been disappointed! King Ping's words are hard! This is called a slap in the face with strength!

Lu Li's hands were clasped tightly, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but raise high, this is the person he likes!

Domineering and bad-tempered, he can scare aliens like this, he is really handsome!

……

Yeluqi didn't reply, Zhao Shu took two more steps in his direction, the tall figure was against the sun, and the pressure was extraordinary, "This case is full of suspicions, everyone present today is suspicious, your mission is in danger, this king will send someone to protect it later, the leader of Yelu doesn't mind." ”

Whether this protection is really protection or surveillance, everyone understands in their hearts, but Yeluqi didn't dare to say no, and agreed with a stiff face.

In this way, the farce on the scene is over, and then there are some things that need to be done in the future, so Emperor Taijia took the step and left, and the rest of the things were all coordinated and solved by Zhao Zhu, the king of Ping......

Zhao Shu waved his hand and asked his guards to confess to the people at the scene, carefully record and observe in detail, and only allowed the people to leave after a long time. The spring hunting time is coming to an end, and the Xixia people have their own affairs, and they can't always watch Zhao Zhu investigate the case, leaving the two of them to track the progress, and then they also left.

The scene quickly quieted down, and in addition to Zhao Zhu, Lu Li, Shen Wansha and the escort team, there was only Qu Jiu.

Qu Jiu scratched his head and smiled honestly, "If there is anything you need help with, just call me!" ”

Shen Wansha gave Qu Jiu a satisfied look of 'you are very good', and beat his left chest, "Good brother!" But he sighed in his heart, why didn't he know that this Qu Jiuren was good before? But it's not too late to know today......

After the corpse experience, it should be time to ask for evidence and collect various clues. At this stage, the arresters are generally busy, Lu Li can take a break as a servant, today's situation is special, Zhao Zhu uses his guards, his ability is even better, and he should be more obedient, but Lu Li still can't rest.

Because he needed to look for the first scene, as well as the clothes worn by the deceased.

He was very confident in that, and he was sure that he could help, and why—

"Woohoo woo woo - woo woo!" Da Bai rushed wildly, extremely fast, as if flying in the wind, ran to Lu Li, not to mention the intimacy, pounced on him one by one, and even tried to lick his face.

Shen Wansha was surprised when she saw Da Bai, and asked Hu Weiwei, who was chasing after Da Bai with light skills, "Where did you get it?" Don't say go back to the city, I don't believe it! ”

Hu Weiwei elegantly smoothed her sideburns, "The prince will take the case next, and the master will let me pick up Dabai." ”

Although the spring hunt has the royal driver to come in person, the requirements are strict, but this activity is also hunting, and the good partner of hunting is the hunting dog. Those clans and high-ranking officials who came to play purely were allowed to bring hunting dogs, Zhao Shu mentioned it to Lu Li, and Lu Li also brought Dabai to reads;.

He thought that Dabai was not a hunting dog, but he rarely had the opportunity to play in such a big place. Because of his relationship with Zhao Zhu, he was not sure if he would come into contact with the superiors, so he didn't dare to take Dabai with him, so he only let Xing □□ someone go to Dabai specifically. Of course, you have to choose a remote place as much as possible. Dabai listens to his master no matter how much he listens to it, and it is also a large dog that has not been systematically trained, and it is not good to hurt people.

Who knew that it would be useful to bring it with the right one today!

After listening to Hu Weiwei, Shen Wansha looked at the little friend who was hugging Da Bai and stretched out his thumb, "Sure enough, it's a little oak, it's a last resort!" ”

Lu Li held the big white paw, and his tone was very helpless, "I just happened to run into ......"

"You're deliberately keeping a low profile!" Shen Wansha pointed at Lu Li, his eyes widened, "However, a powerful person is powerful, no matter how low-key it is, it is useless, the wise young master will see through this!" ”

Lu Li burst out laughing, "Young Master, will your next line be 'There is only one truth'?" ”

"Huh?" Shen Wansha paused, touched his chin and groaned, "This sentence is very true!" ”

His eyes lit up, his hands were on his hips, and he looked up to the sky and smiled, "That's right! There is only one truth, the young master is so wise that he can see through the false appearance of the world, hahahaha! ”

Lu Li let him act for a while before he stood up, walked over and knocked on his forehead, "Enough fun?" Enough of the fun, it's time to get to work. ”

"Okay!" Shen Wansha's face flushed, and he was very happy.

Lu Li stroked his forehead. Well, as long as the little friend is happy......

He asked Zhao Zhu's subordinates to take the clothes on the deceased's body, put them in front of the big white nose and let it smell it, rubbed the big white head, and pointed into the distance, "Go Da Bai, find out the same smell!" ”

"Wow!" Da Bai seized the opportunity to lick Lu Li's face, turned around excitedly and ran away, rushing into the distance like a cannonball.

Lu Li: Don't lick my face if you smell dead things!

Zhao Shu squatted down, wiped Lu Li's face with a handkerchief, and pulled the person up after wiping, "Let's go." ”

Lu Li held his hand instead, "What about you?" ”

"It's all arranged."

Shen Wansha took the lead in riding the horse and ran in the direction of Dabai, "Let's go!" ”

……

Dabai really lived up to expectations, and after running two laps like crazy, he stopped at a gentle slope, sniffed around, and finally squatted in place, waiting for his master to come.

Lu Li and the others arrived, and the first thing they saw was a place of ashes.

Right next to the big white ass.

"It's ...... Burned something? Shen Wansha was indignant, "The murderer is so scheming!" ”

"Clothes can be burned, but items on the deceased can't." Lu Li recalled the confession he had read before, "The people of the Western Xia mission said that the ornaments on the deceased were missing. Nothing more than clothes is anything like gold, and you can't burn it when you burn it. ”

Zhao Shu dismounted, walked to Lu Li, and stretched out his hand-

Lu Li smiled slightly, put his hand on his hand, and jumped down with a force under his feet, and was caught by Zhao Zhu, holding it firmly in his arms.

Zhao Zhu caressed Lu Li's face affectionately with his big hand, "Just go and see." ”

Lu Li rubbed Zhao Zhu's hand and smiled brightly, "Hmm." ”

Seeing that the two were intimate, Qu Jiu was shocked again.

Since the two of them reconciled, they often stick together, and the good ones are like one person, Shen Wansha said that he had long been used to it, and patted Qu Jiu on the shoulder: Child, you are too calm, you have to learn from the young master!

The scene is a gentle slope, the grass is dense and long, and there are many man-made traces, the most conspicuous of which are two obvious traces of collapse, as if they were sitting by two people for a long time.

In front of these collapse marks, Hu Weiwei found some oil stains and wet marks. Qu Jiu leaned down and sniffed, "Like ...... Something to eat. ”

Shen Wansha touched his chin, "So the deceased ate here with the murderer?" Then the two of them must be acquaintances! ”

After speaking, he looked at Lu Li, his eyes expectant, "Is it Xiao Lizi?" ”

Lu Li nodded, his eyes approving, "What the young master said is right. ”

Shen Wansha immediately smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were very happy, and he continued to look for other traces excitedly.

Other Traces...... It's a little shallow and hard to tell.

Zhao Zhu looked around a few times and asserted: "The two had a dispute, but the deceased had little strength at that time, and the counterattack was not big, so the traces were shallow. ”

Shen Wansha was confused, "If you eat with a good piece of the front foot, you will fight with the back foot?" ”

Hu Weiwei's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, "What they eat together may be poison." The murderer had a plan, waiting for the moment when the deceased would be poisoned after eating. ”

Qu Jiu nodded, "That makes sense!" ”

Several people's eyes flashed slightly, and they separated and continued to look for clues, but there were no more traces of the scene......

Lu Li found a piece of unburned clothes from the ashes found by Dabai.

Since Dabai has found this piece of clothing, it means that this clothing corner is the deceased. Lu Li asked the Tangut people left by Yeluqi to come and identify them, and they saw the patterns on the corners of the clothes, saying that this clothes were indeed very similar to those worn by the deceased who did not hide them.

The background color of the corners of this piece of clothing is also dark, the same color as the clothes on the body when it was found. Probably because it was too similar, the people of the Western Xia mission did not immediately see that the deceased had changed his clothes, and he was questioned when he brought it up.

But there was nothing else in the ashes, so the ornaments on the deceased's body ...... It should have been taken away by the murderer.

"You said that the murderer changed the clothes of the deceased, either there were things on the clothes that the murderer wanted, or there were traces that might reveal the identity of the murderer......" Shen Wansha leaned over and looked at the corner of Lu Li's coat carefully, "But there is nothing special about this corner of the clothes......

Qu Jiu reminded him, "It is possible that the key marks are not in the position of the sleeve." ”

Shen Wansha sighed and sighed faintly, "It's a pity that it was burned." ”

Lu Li's intuition was a little wrong, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't think of a direction, so he had to use a small wooden box to seal the corners of his clothes and put them away, rubbing Da Bai's head, "Da Bai is doing it beautifully!" ”

"Woohoo reads;!" Da Bai once again pounced on Lu Li enthusiastically.

This clue is too small to catch the murderer at once, Shen Wansha was a little disappointed, and asked his little friend, "Little oak, do you see anything?" ”

Lu Li integrated the clues he saw today, lowered his eyes and thought, "To be able to eat with the deceased, the murderer not only knew the deceased, but also had a certain friendship, the deceased had only been in Beijing with the mission for three months, and the circle was limited......"

"So it's good for us to find the murderer!" Shen Wansha's eyes were shining, "The murderer may be among the Western Xia people!" ”

Lu Li smiled, "There may be a surprise to check the scope of the deceased's interactions with others." And—"

"Since the deceased died at the scene of the spring hunt, then the murderer must have also participated in the spring hunt."

"Yes, the deceased was at the scene!" Shen Wansha was even more excited, so that the range was even smaller!

"And the identity of the murderer...... Easy to move. ”

"Huh?" Shen Wansha blinked.

Qu Jiu also didn't understand and begged for an explanation.

Lu Li looked at Zhao Zhu, Zhao Zhu's eyes were a little proud, only he could think of a piece with his daughter-in-law, and he had a spiritual heart, this taste was simply not too good!

He explained for Lu Li a little arrogantly, "Today's spring hunting, people with status are hugging each other, and it is impossible to disappear in many sights; The subordinates served the master, and they did not dare to walk away at will, and their freedom was restricted. ”

"So if you can avoid everyone moving alone, your identity may not be simple!" Hu Weiwei shook the whip excitedly, it's better to find it!

Lu Li looked at Zhao Shu and nodded with a smile, "It may be a mobile person who participates in the work of the spring hunt." ”

For example, all work processes, preparations, and handovers all require manpower, and even to prepare refreshments and snacks for the emperor, special people must run errands......

"So this person is not a master, nor is he a low-level subordinate, he may be a steward or something." Shen Wansha suddenly realized.

"Although the autopsy was not performed in the end, I am not sure what kind ......of poison the deceased died of," Lu Li added with a deep groan, "but it is not easy to enter the spring hunting scene, the inspection is strict, and the murderer can bring the poison in." This poison may not be easy to identify, difficult to see, or few people know about its morphological characteristics. ”

Zhao Shu nodded in unison, indicating that he understood.

When the royal driver arrived, the general inspection was relatively strict, and he was afraid of any accidents, so this murderer ...... It's very high.

Everyone discussed the case in situ for a while, Zhao Zhu's subordinates had already made all the records, Lu Li did not miss anything in the inspection, and nodded at Zhao Zhu.

Zhao Zhu ordered several teams to stay at the spring hunting site to search for possible clues and suspicious characters, and the scope was expanded to the farmer's homes outside the spring hunting ground.

As for others...... He waved his hand and told everyone to get on their horses and prepare to return to the city.

At this time, the spring hunt has long been over, and the royal driver has returned to the city with the team, the sky is slightly dark, the cool breeze is flickering, and it is quiet outside.

With King Ping here, Shen Wansha and the others are not afraid, marching at night or something, think about it and be a little excited! Shen Wansha drove the horse and Qu Jiu walked side by side, chatting loudly, and his spirit was very good.

Zhao Shu held back for a day, and was reluctant to let Lu Li go, so he simply hugged people and rode together, so that he could enjoy the bright moon and breeze, watch the stars and talk about life, and eat some tofu by the way.

As for the extra carriage, it was given to Hu Weiwei, the only girl present. Hu Weiwei took Da Bai, lifted the curtain, and held her chin to look at the scenery outside. She originally made an appointment with the Lord of Cheshire, and in the first half of the day, the King of Tianping 'won glory for the country' and competed with foreign races, so she accompanied the master, and in the second half of the time, the King of Tianping came to pester the master, so she went to accompany the Lord of Cheshire, who knew that this kind of accident happened, and she missed the appointment......

However, this scene was even more exciting, and she said to the Lord of Cheshire, who might be more satisfied!

Zhao Shu wrapped around Lu Li from behind and held his hand, "Cold?" ”

"It's not cold." Lu Li tilted his head back, leaned on Zhao Zhu's shoulder, let the cool breeze blow his cheeks, and looked at the starry sky comfortably, "It's going to be March, where can it be cold." ”

Even if it's cold, with Zhao Zhu's stove to hold, it won't be cold.

Zhao Shu kissed him on the cheek, "Are you having fun today?" ”

"Hmm." Lu Li rubbed Zhao Zhu's neck and squinted comfortably, "I'm going to come next time......

Is the daughter-in-law being coquettish! It must be coquettish, it must be!

Zhao Zhu's heartbeat accelerated suddenly, and he felt that Lu Li was particularly delicious now, so he raised his head in a certain part of his body...... He couldn't help but kiss the corner of Lu Li's lips, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Have you finished taking your medicine?" ”

"Five more doses, what's wrong?" Lu Li was just about to look back at Zhao Zhu's expression, when his body suddenly froze.

"Zhao Zhu, you rascal!"

"Haha......" Zhao Zhu's chest agitated, and the sound of happy laughter came far away with the night wind.

Qu Jiu, who had never heard King Ping's laughter, was stupid again.

Shen Wansha digs and digs his ears, "It's good to get used to it......"

……

It was completely dark, and when everyone arrived at the city gates, the gates were naturally closed. There was no need for Zhao Zhu to order, Xing Zuo drove his horse to the city gate in advance, knocked on the gate with the Pingwang token, and the group entered the city very smoothly.

Recently, Great Summer has been peaceful, and the curfew has been lifted, so even at night, some places in the city are very lively. Because of today's spring hunting, there is another lively place: Honglu Hall.

Honglu Pavilion is the place where Bactria receives the missions of other countries, and the management is not too strict according to the habits of each country. Of course, whether it is really loose or false, the person in charge will know.

Lu Li and his entourage passed by here, and they heard the sound of silk and bamboo inside from afar, accompanied by fists and shouts...... These people are partying.

"I'm enjoying my prey." Lu Li thought for a while, "Today, the foreign mission caught a lot of prey. ”

"Your man catches more," Zhao Shu pinched Lu Li's buttocks, "I'll have someone make it for you when I go back." ”

"Your hand—" Lu Li turned back warningly, "this is outside!" ”

While the two were talking, they heard Shen Wansha 'huh'.

Lu Li turned around, "What's wrong?" ”

Shen Wansha rubbed his eyes, stretched out his hand and pointed to a man in the distance who was dressed in a smoky blue satin robe, wearing a black suede cloak, dressed in a luxurious manner, with beautiful eyebrows and peach eyes, delicate facial features, and a girl in his arms, and asked suspiciously, "That person...... Is it a star? "Tricksters
